It was a beautiful day in Los Angeles. The smog had lifted, revealing the bluish-gray sky, birds sang in the undernourished trees, and children played their various card games on the stoops in front of Rainbow Mika's apartment building.

Rainbow Mika had tried to play one, once, but got laughed off the curb after evolving a Nidorina from a male Nidoran. Consequently, she never wanted to play with someone under the height of four feet ever again.

So she was very bored. Slowly, she flipped through the tv stations looking for something promising. On one station, a man and two robots were making fun of a giant pie-pan spaceship. Seen it.

"BAM!!!"

"The only Russian I know is 'Peroski' and 'Borsht'."

*CLICK*

*CLICK*

"...only 99 dollars a month!"

"So when I say 'Peroski', we go left! 'Borsht' means we'll go right! And 'CAVIAR' means we ATTACK!!!"

R. Mika bounced from her chair. That's it! "That's what I'll do now! I'll learn Russian! Hey, if those kids can do it, so can I!!!!" She clenched her fist in a determined manner and bounced from the house, eager to find a place that taught Russian.

Five minutes later, she bounded back in and turned off the tv, but not before giggling after one girl told another to "Think of Peroski and Yuri."
