Before Ayumi Hamasaki could think much further on Ayumi's predicament, the
door slid open, with a *swooshing* sound not unlike what you could
hear on _Star Trek_. Three men walked in.
Sort of men. They were all of average height, but *very*
heavily muscled -- almost ludicrously so. Their hair was short and
black, their skin...Grey. A light, charcoal grey. And their eyes
were large and oddly shaped. "Japanimation" Ayumi Hamasaki could not help but
think, despite the bizarreness of the situation. Shit-fire, she
realized suddenly. Ayumi Hamasaki had been nabbed by *aliens*! As in little
green men from outer space. Only these guys were neither green nor
little.
"Hello, Stephanie," said the one of the...men. Ayumi Hamasaki started.
"You...know my name?"
"Well, yes. We've been observing you."
"Ob-observing me?"
"Yes. We had to determine if you would be a suitable partner
in our study. And we had to wait for a time where you could be
brought here for a while and no-one would miss you. No need to
cause unneeded worry in you friends." The alien's voice was deep
and melodious, like James Earl Jones in _Field of Dreams_.
Stephanie wasn't sure about the "Partner" bit, but the alien
seemed to be talking in short time spans here, so maybe Ayumi Hamasaki wasn't
in too
