The Mindy Show
Episode 2: Slumber Blunder

“Hi, my name is Mindy and on the last episode of The Mindy Show.  Saevi and me just got turned into Penitatas and was in the waiting room talking about the crimes that got us here.  We were happy and then even happier when we discovered our parents were what we wanted and then we left for home.  See, daddy, that is how you do an intro short sweet and to the point.”

A few hours after leaving the San Sanzabar Rejuvenalization Facility, Danny parks in his special parking space in his fancy hover car and got into the express elevator with Mindy.  “You will love your new home, it fancy, but still down to earth despite the fact we are not on the earth”, says Danny as the elevator door opens to a fancy yet traditional penthouse, “This is your home, Kashina is still at the courthouse and should be home shortly”.  Danny exits the elevator and says to Mindy, “Make yourself at home.  Penitatas Rules posted by the elevator, kitchen is to the left of the elevator with a food replicator you can use, bathroom across the elevator and bathrooms in my bedroom and by your room connected of course to your room, your room is first to the left after going up the stairs, bedtime at 10 pm and daily spanking at 9.”, explains Danny about the penthouse, “We also got a picnic area and an above ground pool and Jacuzzi outside, be careful not to sit on the rails surrounding the penthouse and that’s about it.  Now go get changed, I set out your clothes on the bed.” “OK, daddy”, says Mindy as she goes up the stairs of course having a tough time due to her size.

In her bedroom, she sees a black moon t-shirt, a pair of pink panties, and blue short shorts.  “Good time to get dress”, Mindy says as she slips off the white down showing her naked body.  First she puts on the pink panties putting one foot at a time inside the holes and pulls them up, then she does the same to the short shorts, and finally she grabs the t-shirt puts her head through the hole, and then her arms through the arm holes and pulls it down being fully dressed.  “Well that’s done”, says Mindy, “Now to get used to my room”.  Her room is a typical Penitatas room with white large drawers filled with clothes, a light brown closet door with auto-dresser inside, a big comfy bed, and of course the terminal for homework and fun.  “Nice place, quaint, but elegant”, says Mindy as she laid on the soft bed, “I could get used to this, but then again 1,100 years of it then I must get used to it.”  The scene freezes as a voice says “Hi, Kashina here.  I’m here to explain the punishment, a Penitatas age is random with 3 being the lowest and 6 being the highest with 3 being more common and 6 being rarer.  The highest number of years is of course 1,100 years while the minimum is 800 years with a cycle lasting between 11 years for a 3-year-old and 8 years for a 6-year-old.  Kashina, out.”  Danny calls out, “Mindy, come meet your mother.” “OK, daddy”, shouts Mindy as she goes to the stairs and falls down and Danny checks on her saying “You know you can press a button and the stairs transform to make it easier for Penitatas to go up and down”.  Danny helps Mindy up as a lavender mouse with black hair enters in.  “And who is this little one”, says Kashina as she approaches Mindy and pets her.  “Her name is Mindy and she was the notorious hacker “Hackerella”, her crime was trying to rob the Federal Reserve Bank here in San Sanzabar.  Basically she is our Penitatas I was sent to get”, explains Danny.  “Welcome to our home, Mindy, make yourself at home being you are at home” greets Kashina as the elevator dings.

After hearing the ding, the door opens to reveal Saevi with a pack over her shoulder saying “Sharon said I could sleep over for the night and…”  Saevi was interrupted by Stella and Karlina who followed Mindy home and Stella says, “We’re here.”  “And just who the hell are you two?  You’re not invited.”, states Mindy.  “Is this how you treat fellow Penitatas, we invited ourselves”, explains Stella.  “You are not Penitatas your collars are different from ours, “says Mindy.  “They are Penitatas, they are Gen I Penitatas, back when Tina Mouse was in charge of the punishment.  The collars are primitive, but I can tell they were retrofitted to make them up to par with the current Gen”, explained Kashina about the two strangers.  “Yeah, my name is Stella Catherine and my partner’s name is Karlina Mouse and we are trying to find the reincarnation of our old leader, Virtuoso a.k.a. Ponchocat”, explains Stella.  “Wait a minute, Catherine that name sounds familiar.”, said Mindy confused.  “Catherine?  I got it, Stella are you related to Dawn Lynn Catherine?”, asked Saevi.  “Yes, she is my aunt and my mom travels way too much for me to go with her so I became the de facto leader of Virtuoso’s group called Team Legacy.  So, Mindy was it?  Want to join our group because even if you are not the reincarnation of Ponchocat, we’d still like you and your friend to join us”, explains Stella about her group as she extended her hand.  Mindy looks and hesitantly shakes it saying, “We got a deal, but if it’s a trap then Saevi and I are out.” “Deal”, says Stella as they shake hands.  Danny enters in saying “Tonight we got a spread of Gattoian food, a wide variety of fish dishes from the abundant seas of Fufreon”, explains Danny about the menu.  “Aren’t we on Flarth?  Shouldn’t we have Erizoian food?”, asked Mindy.  “Flarth is a melting pot of all the different planets so cultures of all planets in Sylvania’s galaxy combines into one huge culture”, explains Danny, “We live in San Sanzabar, which is on the southern coast of the main Plainshog Territory and this city is the capital of the Plainhogs despite the fact the castle is in the center of the continent”. “Wow, thank you for the geography lesson.  It would give me a real leg up when school begins”, says Mindy as she begins to eat along with the others.

After the meal, Mindy says about the meal “I never had Fufreon cuisine, but I found it to be quite delicious with the balance of spices to be perfect and the Snagfish was cooked to perfection.”  “Thanks, not only am I a skilled ninja and lawyer, but I am a good chef as well. Pretty much the ultimate wifie”, says Danny bowing to them. “That was pretty lame.  Who uses “wifie” anymore”, exclaims Mindy.  “Well, it’s around 8:00 PM so you got about 2 hours of fun before bedtime, since it’s your first day, Mindy and Saevi won’t get a spanking.  Karlina is a Medico and Stella is on the “No Spanking” list.  So have fun”, says Danny as he cleans up from dinner.

After dinner, the left to watch an anime in Japanese.  “This anime was popular before the collapse of Earth it was called Justice Feathers and it was about this magical girl team has six members of high school age.  They have a fruit motif and their uniforms resemble skimpy ninja outfits.  Their mission is to find the seven mystic crystals and save the king from a vicious sorcerer and was sponsored by Yamimoto Fruits and sales spiked 300 percent due to the popularity of Justice Feathers”, explained Stella Catherine, “Currently Televiso discovered it and is redubbing them into the languages of the planets so everyone can enjoy the anime.”  “Wow, you know a lot about anime, Stella”, exclaims Mindy.  “Yeah, when you have loads of free time you get into this stuff.”

After watching an episode of Justice Feathers, it was 9:30 as Kashina says, “You got 30 minutes until bedtime and…”  Kashina was interrupted when she saw the Justice Feathers and then she says, “That’s a bit like my case, wait that is exactly like my case.”  Mindy and them after that went up to the bedroom as Kashina began to binge watch the anime to help the case she was prosecuting saying “This will get me the win for sure because I now found the thing that ties the murders together, my homework assignment is complete.”

While in Mindy’s Room, Mindy was already dressed for bed at 9:50 PM as Stella threw some kind of white powder in Mindy’s face as Saevi shouts “What the hell?”  “Ponchocat told me to do that to make the supposed reincarnation go to sleep, if she gets a message from Virtuoso then she is the reincarnation of our leader, if not she is not”, explains Stella as Mindy falls quickly to sleep.  “Will she wake up”, asked Saevi worried.  “Yeah and it’ll feel like she had a good night sleep”, answers Stella.

In Mindy’s dream, Mindy stands naked as a voice echoed in her mind, “Mindy, Mindy, you are the chosen one to take on my legacy and to lead the team.”  “Who are you and why am I naked”, asked Mindy. “I was once called the Hero of the Penitatas and the Legendary Penitatas and I have left this mortal coil.  I speak to you because you are chosen to wield this”, explains the voice as a pedestal with a lightsaber on top of a poncho, “Take them and carry on my legacy and lead my legacy through the tough times.”  “OK, I can only trust you would do nothing”, says Mindy as she picks up both the poncho and the lightsaber.  “The lightsaber is called Shimmerstrike and it was the blade I used in life and now you will wield the blade in my stead.  I’ll leave it up to you to master the blade, my chosen.  Carry on my legacy and lead my legacy, “says the voice as she began to fade.  “Virtuoso, enjoy the afterlife I will lead Team Legacy and carry on your legacy”, says Mindy as she goes into a dream already in progress.

Was the voice really Virtuoso or was it a trick caused by deceptive Penitatas?
