This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Akio: Anyways, it's so good to see that Anthy finally has friends, even though she's the creepy Rose Bride with no soul of her own and sleeps with me, her brother, every Saturday.
Kanae: Did you say you sleep with you sister?
Akio: No, I said it's good Anthy has a friend.
Utena: Well I just think that if people look deeper, they'll see a good person inside of Anthy and be friends with her.

Akio: You'd be surprised at all the things you can find inside of Anthy.
Kanae: Wait, is that innuendo?
Akio: Don't be a whore, darling.
Offline
Akio: Anyways Anthy, you should stay good friends with Utena, because it works in the advantage of my evil plans.
Anthy: Yes Big Brother.
Utena: Huh, did you just say something about evil plans?
Akio: No.
Offline
Utena: Okay! I'm so naive that I'll believe you, and Anthy's guilt will continue to grow!
Offline
Anthy: Well, see you later, bitch. I mean, Miss Kanae.
Kanae: I'm just going to smile and request that you call me sister while rage bubbles inside of me.

*Scene Change*
Professor 1: Mister Mikage, you're such a genius that we want to give you an obscenely big paycheck.
Mikage: Tell you what. Just let me ask you to pull some strings for me a la The Godfather in the future instead. Maybe you can get a green-haired psychopath back into the school so I can manipulate the girl who loves him or something. I dunno, we'll see.
Professor 2: Uhh.. okay?

*Outside*
Anthy: Utena-sama, thank you for not telling my brother that I'm the rose bride, even though he's End of the World and already knows.
Utena: *not really listening* It's nice to have a brother. I wish I had a brother.
Offline
Anthy: Not this kindof brother!
Utena: Yeah, that kind of brother!
Anthy: Miss Utena, you boob...
Offline
Utena: What about my boob?
Miki: *steps out of Nemuro memorial hall* Tenjou-san, Himemiya-san, what are you two doing here? Did you come here for the Mikage seminar too?
Offline
Utena: Wow! Your disbelief isn't hurting my self-esteem at all! I'm so dumb.
Anthy: I don't do schoolwork cuz my bro's the chairman and I don't have to!
Miki: ...
Offline
Utena: What're you talking about, Miki? You know that neither of us are smart enough for some seminar.
Miki: The Mikaga seminar is held by this really smart dude named Mikage. Yeah. They talk about...smart people stuff. Like how none of us will ever get laid unless me do it with our incestual sisters!

Anthy: That reminds me of Saturday nights with my brother.
Utena: What do you do with you brother on Saturday nights?
Anthy: Lots of stuff you wouldn't understand.
Utena: I wish I had a brother.
Offline
Miki: Well, I don't see how you've never heard of this place. Don't you know the story behind it?
Anthy/Utena: Uhhh....
Miki: Yeah, me neither. Stupid Ikuhara and his artsy-fartsy storytelling. All we know is that a hundred boys died here.
Offline
Anthy: That's so morbid that I'm somehow slghtly intrigued. What about you, Miss Utena?
Utena: I am intrigued...Tell us more, Miki.
Miki: There was apparently a fire. It destroyed the entire building. And one hundred boys died.
Offline
Utena: Didn't the have a smoke detector?
Miki: They did, but apparently they took the battery out of it because it would always go off when even they cooked something.

*Kanae is in the elevator. It is going down.*
Kanae: I'm vaguely scared that I'm about to be abducted and murdered horribly.
Mysterious Voice: And why is that?
Kanae: Common sense...
Mysterious Voice: Let's proceed. Please angst. Starting now.
Kanae: Angst, angst, angst! *stares at photo of Akio, her and Anthy*
God, I hate that bitch.
Mysterious Voice: Do tell.
Kanae: I fucking hate fucking Anthy fucking kun.
Mysterious Voice: Really?
Kanae: *crumples photo-Anthy's face* ANGST!
Mysterious Voice: Say it again.
Kanae: *rips up Anthy's face into teen bits* ANGST!!!
Mysterious Voice: I'm afraid you have no choice but to be part of my evil experiment! Enter.
Kanae: Angst! Angst!
Mysterious Voice: Shut up and Enter!

*Later*
Utena: I'm going to open up my locker because I feel I'll find something important in here. *sees challenge letter* Well look at that, the challengers have resorted to putting challenge letters in my locker now.
Offline
Shadow Girls: TEETH!!
Utena: *sweatdrops* Let me offer the first of many obvious solutions because I take your plays too literally.
Offline
*Later after climbing up all the steps*
Utena: *huffing* OK, when the hell is the elevator going to appear?
Anthy: Next season.
Utena: You mean I have to wait another fucking season until I don't need to climb up all those fucking steps. *finally notices Kanae* Huh, Kanae's a duelist now? When did that happen?
Offline
Kanae: When I realized tha Anthy's a complete FREEEEEEAK!!! ANGSTANGSTANGST!!!!!
Utena: You might wanna chill out with that or you'll end up like Juri!
----------Across Campus------------
Juri: *picks her head up from readin the latest issue of Penthouse* My dyke senses are tingling.....
Offline
Kanae: Anyways, I swear on the black rose that I will kill Anthy and let Mamiya become the new rose bride, even though Mamiya is just Anthy in disguise as we'll find out at the end of this arc.
Utena: Huh? Black rose? Mamiya? Did I miss something? And why do you want to kill Himemiya?
Offline
Kanae: Whoa. Whoa, whoa, calm down. I don't want to kill Himemiya, I just want to try to kill her. Big difference.
Utena: My head hurts. Attacking!
Kanae: Not knowing how to use a sword!
Offline
Utena: How convenient!
Anthy: Sigh...
