Quagmire, U.S.A.: A Bento Bashi, Part II

 

Author's note: I planned this to be an 8-part story with spoofs of such things as Red vs. Blue, Magister Negi Magi, and more, but I felt I should cut it short and move on to other stories.

 

Front cover. Bento and Asagi are in furry form. Asagi is horrified at what she sees.

Asagi: Oh my God I'm a furry!

Bento: Just relax and enjoy it.

Caption (N): Lexus and Kassy Feeple, having found the location of their missing friends via teleportation tracking, are on their way to save them. Unfortunately, they have hit a snag…

Police officer: The more you talk the more I think you're lying to me. Where are your diplomatic papers then?

Kassy: We have them here somewhere...

 

Panel 2. The police officer continues writing out the ticket. Kassy starts searching the glove compartment.

Lexus: Well... We thought we could handle it ourselves.

SFX: Search...

 

Panel 3. The police officer holds out the clipboard. Kassy is frantically searching the glove compartment.

Cosplayer: Besides, the way she's been acting, he'll be lucky if she'll let him make a pass at any of them.

Panel 2. Vix puts an arm around Guy's waist. Bento and Asagi look on, confused.

Panel 5. They all contemplate their situation. Asagi looks very turned off.

Panel 4. Asagi shakes a fist at them.

Bento: Getting bent out of shape like that will lead to exhaustion.

Panel 6. Loudmouth looks over at Bento.

Panel 4. The Cosplayer and his assistant are now in handcuffs, and being led away by the police.

 

Asagi: One last question. Why did you do all of this?

Asagi: Wait a minute. Some guy from the future told you that I end up marrying this pervert!?
