Atomic Galaxy: Solar System XIII
Planet 96: Cosplay
Maximus heard of a cosplay competition with a very rare card as the prize, the legendary Penguin Dragon and he decided to try it out. He knew every other being Lynxia and Splatty would be there, but he was determined to win. All it took was a good deck and turning himself into a clone of Argellian, the main character of the series Argellian 90218365839374-J. That wouldn't be too hard, he only needed black fur, blonde hair and a fire red tail.
Maximus' father got home to find black footprints all over the carpet. The footprints came from the bathroom. Fearing the worse, he went to see what it was and found Minimus trying to clean the, used to be white now black, tub. He knew Maximus must have something to do with it. He must be turning himself into a clone of that character from TV. Arg-something, again. "Maximus! Did you see that mess?"
Maximus came to see, tossing red dye everywhere when ever he moved his tail. "What? Minimus cleaned it up last time, he can do it again."
"Why must you insist in looking like that Arg-something?" Max Sr.'s disregard for the name triggered his son's speech about all the coolness of Argellian 90218365839374-J. About an hour later, Maximus stopped ranting to finish getting ready and Max Sr. was left quite dizzy from hearing so many things he didn't understand.

The first elimination round of the cosplay competition was a test of knowledge of the show, which Maximus easily passed. In fact, he knew things he wasn't supposed to know yet, since he hired a professional spy to spy on the author. Then came the card showdown which Maximus won, by cheating, but no one noticed.
The few contestants that had been left were to pull two card out of a box containing many without looking. Maximus got Kuri Kuri and Chibi Galactic Magician Girl. The final round would take place the next day. Each Argellian cosplayer was to bring two other cosplayers dressed as the cards that were drawn.

Back home, Maximus was thinking of his options. "Minimus, I shall give you the honor of cosplaying as Kuri Kuri."
"But I don't have enough fur, Kuri Kuri's a hair ball!" Minimus complained. "I want to be something cooler, how about I go as Argellian!"
"Argellian doesn't have two faces! Besides, the extra fur will cover your second face and I already know what to do." Needless to say, Minimus knew he wouldn't like the plan. Maximus had that look that he got when ever he was going to do something that he would enjoy but Minimus wouldn't. Such was the case when Maximus emptied a bottle of shampoo all over Minimus turning him into a hair ball of overgrown fur.
"I don't think I can walk like this," Minimus tripped over his own fur.
"I'll take you to a pet salon to make you really look like Kuri Kuri. You're supposed to be all yellow too."

It was not a pleasant experience for Minimus. With that done now they only needed someone to go as Chibi Galactic Magician Girl. Looking at the card, Maximus thought she looked familiar. He remembered one time he almost crashed his father's ship against what he thought was a space rockm but turned out to be a semi-uncivilized planet. Trying to gain control of the shipm he accidentally activated the beam and brought an uncivilized little creature to the ship.
The strange creature had big green eyes and red hair. She appeared to think he was a living plushie. She was strange. "I know who's going to be Chibi Galactic Magician Girl! Let's take dad's ship and get her."

Max Sr. didn't like the idea. "You can't take my ship. Besides, the bathroom isn't completely clean yet and there's spots of red and yellow dye on the walls!"
