Medabots Fan Fiction ❯ The Glass House Special: Erika's List of New Year's Resolutions ❯ The Glass House Special: Erika's List of New Year's Resolutions ( One-Shot )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

[Prologue]

Erika was lying on her bed in her bedroom.

*Erika: What am I suppose to do? Its just one day after New Years day and I can't figure out
what to do.*

Ikki suddenly pops in from the window.

Ikki: Hey, Erika. Look what I have got.

Erika sees Ikki.

Erika: How did you get in here?!

Ikki: The ladder outside your house leads to your room. But anyway, I found a list of New Year
Resolutions.

Erika takes the list.

Erika: I was looking for this.

Erika leans on the window and accidently pushes Ikki out of the window.

Ikki: Help me!!!

A crash in the bushes was heard and Erika looks out of the window.

Erika: Sorry.

[Sk8er Gurl Erika]

*Erika: The first part of my list is to challenge Sakura Avalon at skating and win.*

Erika walks to the skate park and pays for her admission.

Erika: One please.

~

Erika was sitting on a bench in the skate park when Sakura Avalon rode to Erika on her
rollerblades.

Erika: Hi!

Sakura: Hi, Erika. So, you decided to come and race me at skating?

Erika: Yeah.

Sakura: Are you sure you are confident to beat me?

Erika: Well, I did beat Ikki at skateboarding.

*Flashback*

Erika was on her skateboard with Ikki running after her.

*End flashback*

Sakura: Alright, but I can't say that that I'll let you win.

*

~"Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavinge is played~

Erika and Sakura were geared up with helmets, armpads and kneepads. Sakura puts on her
rollerblades while Erika steps on her skateboard.

Sakura: Are you ready?

Erika: Anytime.

Ikki walks to the starting line, holding a start flag.

Ikki: Are you girls ready? Set, GO!

Both Sakura and Erika started off at a fast speed, but Erika was a bit slower as she suddenly
trips over and lands on the ground head first.

Ikki: That's gotta hurt.

Sakura reached the finish line as Erika slowly reaches second.

Erika: At least I got that part of the list. Challenge Sakura at skating.

[Intermission: The Space]

Erika and Ikki were standing in front of a large door.

Erika: Welcome to the Space, the one place where the point of it is to take off the extra
space in the fanfic. Behind this door is actually a haunted room.

~Spooky sound followed by a wolf howl effect.~

Ikki: Sure sounds haunted.

Erika opens the door.

Erika: Right, so, I'm going to send you in.

Ikki: What?!

Erika pushes Ikki through the door and quickly closes it.

Ikki: AHHHHHH!

A roar was heard and cloth ripping sounds were heard and Ikki pops out of the door with ripped
clothing and looks at Erika.

Ikki: What was that?!

Erika: I found that using a real bear was cheaper than getting the sound effect, so I borrowed
one Ursaring from the Johto Region in the Pokemon series.

Ikki was pulled back into the room and Erika closes the door.

Erika: I guess he doesn't want to know about the SaberLeomon from Digimon I also borrowed.

More of Ikki's screams were heard.

[Background worker Erika]

*Erika: Part two of my list has me being an actress. So I went to the one place which could
give me an acting job.*

Erika stands near the entrance to the Nelvana Building.

Erika: At the moment, I'm going to enter the Nelvana building to see if I can get an acting
job there.

Erika enters the entrance and sees Ikki inside sitting near the reception desk.

Erika: What are you doing there?!

Erika angrilly walks past Ikki.

Ikki: Huh?

~

Erika was sitting in front of Eli Moon's desk.

Eli: So, you are looking for an acting job

Erika: That's right.

Eli: Well, we would like to see a footage of you acting.

Erika passes Eli a tape.

Erika: Here, this is an episode of a show I did.

Eli: Thanks.

Eli watches a footage from the Medabots Episode: "Phantom Renagade Unmasked".

Eli: Well...I could say that you have the potential of being an actress, but it will take
some time.

Erika: Oh.

Eli: But I suggest working either as a temp replacement or stunt person.

*Zoids - Chaotic Century*

Erika was sitting at the pilot seat of the Blade Liger with Ikki behind in the passenger seat.

Ikki: Erika, what does this button do?

Erika: No, don't touch that button!

Ikki presses the button.

~

From afar, two figures were ejected out of the Blade Liger.

*BeyBlade*

Erika was against Ikki in a BeyBlade arena.

Erika: You're going down, Ikki.

Ikki: I won't hold back.

Erika/Ikki: Let it rip!

The Beyblades flew towards the Medafighters instead of landing in the bowl.

Ikki/Erika: AHHHHH!

~

Neutranurse finished tying a bandage on Erika's head.

Erika: What about Ikki?

Ikki was rolling on the floor.

Ikki: Please, Erika, if you value my future, please help me.

Erika: Don't put me down to your level.

Ikki: At least I know you BeyBlade like a girl.

Erika kicks Ikki in the stomach.

Erika: I assume that that was a compliment.

*CardCaptors*

Erika was dressed in a pink dress carrying a staff.

Erika: You know, if you want the right picture, at least open the shutter.

Ikki looks at the video camera he's holding.

Ikki: Oh.

Ikki opens the shutter and accidently presses the flash button.

Ikki: AHHH! AHHH AHH! My eye.

*Pokemon*

Erika was standing in a grass field wearing a red cap on her head.

Erika: I will be the number one Pokemon Master!

Erika hears a faint noise.

Erika: What is that?

Erika looks behind a door to see Ikki watching Digimon on TV.

Ikki: Come on, Erika, Digimon has started.

Erika: Gee, that contradicts the whole point of this series.

*

Erika was at a red phone booth.

Erika: Mr. Eli, this is not working. I always get the same "extra" working with me and I
have recieved a combination of death threats and legal actions from distributors like KidsWB
and FOXkids for sloppy work I didn't do. Ok, so I must meet Matt at a popular Anime Nightclub.

[Erika wants to be a rock star]

Erika and Ikki were near the nightclub as Matt's band was heard.

*Erika: I'm near the nightclub where Matt's band plays his music, so I'm going in with Ikki
under the pretext of fans.*

Erika picks up a guitar case and sees a queue with two bouncers and a small yellow mouse named
Pikachu holding a list. As Erika enters the nightclub entrance with no problem, Pikachu stops
Ikki.

Pikachu: Sorry, but are you invited?

Ikki: I'm Ikki Tenryou. I should be on your list.

Pikachu: I got Izzy Izumi, Izumi Koushiro, Iggy, Zippy, but no Ikki Tenryou.

A twitch appeared on Ikki's head.

Ikki: You stupid Pikachu.

Pikachu: Stupid Pikachu, Stupid Pikachu. I'm on the list, so, see ya.

Pikachu walks into the nightclub and joins in the dancing.

Ikki: Idiot!

The bouncers looked at Ikki.

Ikki: Err, not you guys.

The bouncers close in on Ikki.

Ikki: I guess the fanfic readers do not want to have a description of this happening in
this fanfic.

Erika was dancing in the club as beating sounds were heard as Matt's band in on stage far
away from Erika.

~

*Erika: I couldn't find Matt, so I decided to ask for an altenative.*

Erika was at a red video phone.

Erika: Hello, Mr. Eli? I need a bit of help in searching for another musician. Yes, so I
should meet this Kero-Beros.

Erika hangs up and walks off.

~

Erika walks into a music studio with a small yellow bear sitting on a chair.

Kero: I've been waiting for you, Miss Erika.

Erika: Hey, you must be Kero-Beros.

Kero: That's right. I'm *the* guardian beast, Kero-Beros.

Erika: Well, you're the person I'm looking for. You see, I got plans for this song about
yellow Skater.

Kero: I see. Look, Miss Erika, I'll call you later as I got things to do and I'll see you
another time when I'm avaliable.

~

Erika was in a taxi with Ikki sitting next to her.

Erika: I guess Kero liked the idea of that song that he wanted me to leave in a hurry and
he'll call me later.

Ikki looks at Erika.

Ikki: I wonder why? He seems pretty excited about that song you suggested.

The taxi drives past a large signboard with Kero's face on it with the words, "Who is da
Yellow Sk8er Guardian Beast?"

The taxi drives under a bridge with a sign reading: "Kero-Beros is da Yellow Sk8er Guardian
Beast!"

Another signboard reads: "Kero's new song, 'Yellow Sk8er Guardian Beast' coming out soon."

[The Song about Erika]

Erika walks to the red video phone outside the Nelvana building.

Erika: Hello? Yes, Mr. Eli. So you want me to have a role in an episode of a soap? Sure.

~

Erika was reading a script in the dressing room.

*Erika: I'm suppose to be a new character who is supposed to be introduced at the beginning
of the episode.*

Ikki, Metabee and Brass appeared in the three mirrors in front of Erika.

Erika: What are you guys doing there?

Ikki: Oh, we just happen to have the glass removed and had to try a pathethic attempt to
imitate you.

Erika: What do you want to do?

Metabee: Well, we were looking at your pros and cons.

Erika: Huh?

Brass: What he means is your good side and bad sides, Miss Erika.

Erika: So, what is that point?

Metabee: Well, the first part is that I want to ask you...what is your involvement in Ikki's
dream?

Erika looked at Ikki.

Erika: You told him?

Brass: What do you mean, it was top story news in the glossip magazines.

Erika: Brass! Is it that dream Ikki has?

Brass: Yeah, the one with you, Ikki and Karin in the same bed.

Erika: Ikki! That is not part of the fanfic idea!

Ikki: I didn't put it there. Anyway, the point of this is that a dumb song is going to start.

*Music starts*

Ash walks into the dressing room carrying a microphone.

Ash: If you ever wonder...
Why you have the doubt...
Because you see...
Its the speed of doubt.

~

Ikki: Don't you ever wonder why you have the doubt?

Erika: What do you mean?

Ikki: The thing that when you want to go left but it makes you go right.

Erika: Hey, I was a top school newspaper reporter and don't put me down!

Mr. Referee popped up.

Mr. Referee: This is just in, the score is Erika - 1, Cons - 0!

Erika: How does he do that?

~

Ash: As you can see...
That's the point...
Its the battle of the wits,
And it means you!

~

Erika: Why are you doing this to me?

Brass: I am not a consultant, I'm only a Medabot presenting a fact. 'The only thing faster
than the Speed of Light is the Speed of Doubt."

Erika: Oh what?! What kind of fact is that?!

Mr. Referee popped up.

Mr. Referee: This is it! This is it! Its Erika - 2, Cons - 0!

~

Ash: Because...

Metabee and Brass appeared from the mirrors.

Metabee/Brass: Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...
Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...
Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...

Ash: Because nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt.

~

Erika: Metabee, aren't you going to do anything to help me?

Metabee: Well, I can say that you are in need of platform shoes.

Erika: Are you saying that I am short?!

Metabee: In your terms...yes.

Mr. Referee popped up.

Mr. Referee: This is it! This is it! Its Erika - 2, Cons - 1!

~

Brass, Metabee and Ikki were dancing in the mirrors with Ash putting the microphone on the
stand.

Ash: As you can see, you can't run away.
When you look left and right. Up and down.
As it gets closer to you, like a car.

Brass/Metabee: Speed of doubt, speed of doubt, speed of doubt...

~

Erika: And the point of that song?

Ikki: Lets just say that it was meant to bash Nelvana.

Mr. Referee popped up.

Mr. Referee: Its 2 a piece between Erika and her cons!

Erika: That was really exaggerating Mr. Referee's role.

~

Ash: Because...

Metabee and Brass appeared from the mirrors.

Metabee/Brass: Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...
Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...
Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...

Ash: Because nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt.

~

Erika: What am I going to do?

Metabee and Brass pops up.

Metabee: Well, for one thing is that you spoil people's fun.

Brass: And you can sometime overreact over small situations.

Mr. Referee popped up.

Mr. Referee: It is now Erika - 2, Cons - 3 in this match up!

~

Ash: This is the final call, who will win, will it be Erika or her cons?
I can't say, as I am the singer, who sings songs, that are out of sync.

*The music stopped*

Ash: I didn't say that we're finished yet.

*The music continued.*

~

Ikki: And finally, for me, I like you not because you're flat-chested and...

The music stopped and silence was everywhere and Erika blushed as she cracks her knuckles.

Erika: I guess the score is now 4-2 thanks to Ikki.

Mr. Referee pops up as Erika starts to strangle Ikki.

Mr. Referee: I've got nothing to say.

~

The music continues.

Metabee/Brass: Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...
Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...
Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...

Ash: Because nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt.

Metabee/Brass: Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...
Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...
Nothing's really faster than the speed of doubt...

*Song ends as it fades*

Erika: That did not have anything to do with why I am here. In fact, that song did not make
any sense at all! It really had nothing to do with me, period!

Erika finds herself alone in the dressing room.

Erika: Where did everybody go?

[Erika does a Nelvana ~Bombshell music~ Soap]

At the set, Sakura and Li were at the Central Perk set of Friends.

Sakura: I wonder who will this new character is going to be? I just want to know why we must
test her on the set of Friends instead of the Nelvana Studios. Its just not fair.

Li: Apprently, I heard that she was a school newspaper reporter. If she is as good as a
reporter as she says, she may be able to expose Nelvana.

Sakura: I guess she must be similiar to Madison, only difference is that she is not rich and
not very nosey.

Li: Really?

Erika enters the set.

Erika: This is definitely going to be headline news. "Nelvana steals from Warner Brothers
set."

Sakura: Hi! Well then, lets look at the script.

~

Sakura: Hey, Li, have you heard, there's someone new in Reedington.

Li: Really, who?

*Erika enters the cafe.*

Erika: Hello.

Sakura: Hi.

Erika: I'm new here, I'm Erika.

Li: Hi Erika. I'm Li.

Sakura: And I'm Sakura Avalon.

Erika: Hi, Sakura. I am a reporter here in Reedington who is on an assignment on Miss
Madison Taylor.

Sakura: Madison? Well, you're in luck. I know Madison.

Erika: Really?

Li: Sure. Lets bring Erika to Madison.

Sakura: Ok!

~

Erika: Well, how was that?

Li: Erm, well, Erika, we'll talk to our superiors and call you back later, ok?

Erika: Sure!

Erika walks out of the set.

[Erika meets Mimi]

*Erika: I figured that if I need to follow their resolutions, I must meet with one who can
easily gain them through beauty and fame. Mimi Tachikawa*

Erika walks to a park when Metabee and Brass steps in her way.

Metabee: Excuse me, but this is a routine check.

Brass takes out a metal detector.

Brass: Nothing personal, we just don't want contrabrand goods to be sumggled into the
Digi-World.

As Brass scans Erika's body, the metal detector let of a few beeping noises and Metabee
takes out a basket.

Metabee: Give.

Erika puts her Medawatch in the basket and as Brass scans Erika again, the metal detector let
off another beep.

Metabee: Again.

Erika takes out a Clow Card and puts it into the basket.

Metabee: I know you have more.

Erika puts in the basket a Pokeball.

Brass: We know you have hidden a magazine in your clothing, Miss Erika.

Erika turns around and takes out an Anime Magazine and puts it in the basket.

Metabee: Thank you.

As Erika walks off, Metabee and Brass secretly takes out the Anime Magazine and reads it.

Metabee: Look, they have the latest Medapart which improves flexibility for Medabots.

Brass: You have that one already. You never use it.

Metabee: Really?

*

*Erika: Because of a couple of Medabots from the customs department, I have to buy some
things for Mimi.*

Erika carries a bag of presents when Brass walks to Erika.

Brass: Miss Erika, its not necessary to give Miss Mimi presents. She already have a lot for
Christmas. There's a special warehouse for you to deposit the presents.

Erika walks off with Brass.

*A few minutes later*

Erika walks up the stairs with a bandage on her head.

Erika: Who would have thought that warehouse was almost filled to the top.

*

Mimi: Welcome!

Mimi runs to Erika and kisses her cheek.

Erika: Its nice to meet you, Mimi.

Erika sits next to Mimi in a fancy living room.

Erika: What kind of New Years Resolutions do you have, Mimi?

Mimi: Well, first thing is that I want to be a great cook and a great host. Come on.

~

In a room, Mimi was giving Erika a hair wash.

Mimi: As my guest, you'll get a free hair wash and a nice dress up before dinner.

Erika: Thanks. By the way, who's that over there reading the news paper?

The person reading the newspaper placed his papers down.

Ikki: Really, Erika, do you think you can't avoid me.

Metabee and Brass pooped up behind Ikki.

Metabee: At least we didn't need to be in disguise to be invited.

Erika: Damn.

*

That night at Erika's house, Erika was lying on her bed with Ikki holding a story book.

Erika: Really, is it too much to ask for getting a New Year's Resolution?

Ikki: I don't know. I'm just here as part of my contract for this fanfic.

*Epilogue: The Medabots Lookback of 2002*

*Metabee*

Metabee sits near the door to the Beyblade set.

Metabee: 2002 was the time when Beyblade was really popular.

~

Metabee was playing the Beyblade game for PlayStation.

Metabee: Driger, Tiger Claw Attack!

*Brass*

Brass was at an office table with sissors and glue and a box of a Metabee model.

Brass: I can say that the best thing about 2002 is that I learn that you can build your own
Medabots.

~Night time~

Brass was sleeping on the bed holding the small Metabee model.

Brass *sleep talking*: If I can't get you, I can get this small one.

*Sumilidon*

Sumilidon was leaning next to a movie poster of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Sumilidon: I guess 2002 had...Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

~

Sumilidon was sitting in a crowded cinema.

Sumilidon: I wish I could ask for a refund or at least a booster seat. The person in front
is just too much hair on her head for me to see what is going on.

Sumilidon slashes the hair.

Sumilidon: Better.

After the movie, the person with too much hair noticed that his hair has dropped off.

*Cyandog*

Cyandog was on a bench outside the Nelvana studio.

Cyandog: I guess 2002 had the least dubbing disasters. And it was the time the dubbed Zoids:
Chaotic Century had ended.

~

Cyandog was in front of a TV screen as he drops to his knees.

Cyandog: NOOOOOO!!!!! I missed it!

*Neutranurse*

Neutranurse holds out a PS2 controller.

Neutranurse: 2002 was the time when Kingdom Hearts is a game for people who love Disney
and Final Fantasy.

~"Simple and Clean" by Utada Hikaru is played~

Neutranurse was playing Kingdom Hearts on PS2.

Neutranurse: Come on, summon Mushu! No, I don't want Simba! Mushu!

*Rokusho*

Rokusho was wearing a long brown scarf covering his face.

Rokusho: 2002 was the time when Ninja games are popular.

Rokusho stands up and starts running out of the door with scarf following him.

~

Outside, as Rokusho runs past Kero-Beros at the CardCaptors set, Kero stamps on Rokusho's
scarf, which cause a jerk followed by a crashing sound.

*Peppercat*

Peppercat was at a PS2 system.

Peppercat: 2002 was the time when I get to see the competition of the potential of the PS2 and
learn to dance from Brittany Spears.

~"Oops! I did it again" by Brittany Spears is played~

Peppercat was leading the dance with Metabee, Brass, Cyandog, Neutranurse and Sumilidon in
the background and Rokusho suddenly enters the dance floor doing 'the worm' with the scarf
leaving behind a trail.
