A/N: Not sure if this'll be any good… just thought it'd be something fun to try… reviews welcome… NO FLAMES! (I'm sensitive…) Begins where movie (yes movie not musical) ends.

Chapter One: The Hospital

"Meems…" said Roger as soon as Mark's film ended. "You ok?"

"Still a little dizzy and crap," she replied, desperately trying to sit up straight.

Mark shut off his projector. "I still think we need to take her to a hospital. She's been living on the street and everything…"

"Uh, Mark? I'm here. I can hear everything that you say."

Maureen giggled.

"Mark's right, Mimi," said Joanne. "You could still be sick."

"But I don't feel sick," said Mimi, climbing off the table. She wobbled and sat back down.

"Please, Meems," begged Roger.

Mimi sighed. "Fine."

"We can take my car," said Joanne.

"You have a car, Pookie?" said Maureen.

"I only use it in emergencies. Like now. I'll be right back with it," said Joanne, and she left.


"Joanne," asked Maureen as Joanne turned right for the hundredth time, "do you know where you're going?"

"Pretty much," said Joanne making another right turn.

"Pookie, we're going to end up going in circles. Please turn left at least once."

Joanne turned left.

Mark took out his camera and began to film. "December 24, 1990. 11 PM, Eastern Standard Time. How many times will Joanne Jefferson drive us past this tree?" Mark zoomed in on a small maple tree.

"Shut up."

Mimi laughed weakly.

"I still don't know how we all fit in this car," said Roger.

"Hitchhiker!" screamed Maureen, pointing out the window.

"That's Benny, you idiots!" said Mimi.

Joanne stopped and Roger opened the door. Benny climbed in and sat on Collins' lap.

"Thanks, Benny," said Collins, his voice sounding muffled.

"You guys found Mimi," Benny said, not caring if he was suffocating Collins, which he was very close to doing. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"'Cause we hate your guts," said Maureen from the front seat.

Benny kicked the back of her chair.

"I hope the police don't catch us like this," muttered Joanne.

"Why, Pookie?"

"LOOK! Mimi's sitting on Roger's lap, who's sitting next to Collins, who has Benny on his lap, who's sitting next to Mark, who's filming frikkin' street lamps."

"You lost me around look," said Maureen.

"Yeah, well, I also lost my sense of direction," said Joanne, driving into a dark tunnel, headed towards a warm, white light.

"I think that we're all dying. Did you crash us into a tree, Joanne?" asked Benny.

"No."

They kept driving, and the white light led to the interior of a dark, dank castle.

Joanne's car sat in the middle of Kiamo Ko.
