IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE, PLEASE READ
Even if you don't read the rest of the author's note (interesting and lovely as it is), please read this.
This story has taken a definite turn in its plot, main characters, and general story-ness. Not necessarily for the better, not necessarily for the worse. But I eventually got sick of just writing 'Sues (because they, though humorous, are sickening) and I decided it was time for some good characters to wage war. So here you are! 'Sues against... what shall we call them?... GCs. Good Characters. :)
So please tell me exactly what you think of this chapter. :) It may be a little strange... just a warning!
Oh... and one last thing. A big thank you to Acorn for reminding me about this poor little story left to rot in a deep, dark, murky corner. Because without her, I would have totally neglected it. School took over... and I was busy. But thanks to Acorn, you get a chapter! Let's give her a hand!
CASTING CALL CLOSED
(PM me if you have a special request for a character)

"Oh. My. Goodness!" Torch gasped. "You know what we did? We left the Other Reviewers behind!"
Everyone gave her blank look.
"Other Reviewers!" She tried again. "Other... Review...? Um, okay." She shrugged. "Um, okay, whatever. I'll just use my awesome-ninja-super-powers to- oh wait. I can't do that. I'm not a 'Sue."
"It's okay, she does this sometimes. It can be weird, but I usually just sit tight for a second and then she does something really awesome." David turned and explained to the others, who looked immensely relieved at this explanation.
"I've GOT IT!" Shrieked Torch suddenly, just as he finished, and, seizing him, gave him an extraordinarily loud smack on the lips.
Giggles wrinkled her nose, and Lark was heard to protest, but Acorn grinned and asked, "Like that kind of awesome, you mean?"
David, ceasing to look stunned, straightened his cap and almost regained a casual expression whilst replying, "Yeah. That kind of awesome."
"Excuse me," interrupted Fly, "but I think that Torch has something-"
"Yeah." Everyone turned to look at Torch, who promptly assumed a wise and speechy expression and, raising one very thin finger high, declared, "We shall recruit them!"
*Sigh*. Those blank looks again. Will we ever be rid of them?
"You see," Torch explained excitedly, "there are plenty of other authors and even characters in the actual movie who would love to help us out here. And so..." dramatically drawn-out... "for every review this story receives from now on, it will be counted as a new recruit for our side of GCs against the MSs!"
"MSs?" Dreamer whispered to Cheese.
"MarySues," she responded quietly, and Dreamer muttered, "Oh, yeah, I knew that."
"Excuse me, miss!" A hand waved in the air. It was Snoddy, who was being lovingly gripped by Fly. "What's that machine for?"
"This?" Torch assumed a most evil grin. "Ah-ha-ha-ha!" Evil laughter filled the room, and then all of New York! "MWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
The laughter seemed that it would never end, but David, shaking his head sadly, grabbed her and kissed her, and she was forced to discontinue her conduct.
"That, my dear friends..." she paused dramatically- "is-"
Dun-dun-dun! Read on (after I post the next chapter) to find out what happens to our most mighty and courageous GCs! :D
And remember! If you want the MarySues to be conquered- REVIEW!
