Authoress: *shows strange book to them* Look at this! It's a...

Lizzie: *grabs book* No way they are reading this! *runs*

Frenzy: Hey! We wanted to read that!

Authoress: *smiles* Oh this is going to be fun!

Ch. 3: A Fruitless Endeavour

Paul's 1st P.O.V.

As soon as I exited the ground bridge, I wasted little time in moving toward the Nemesis. Thankfully, Bulkhead and Cliffjumper were on my left and scouting out the ship as well or they might have seen me. Even though we were in a canyon there weren't many rocks for human sized beings to hide behind. Oh well. The only thing that I really know is that I need to get to the Nemesis immediately! This was the only place I could think of that Lizzie could be and, by Creation, I was not going to leave a single grain of sand unturned to make sure that I found Lizzie. She was only here because of me.

If it wasn't for me, she would be living her normal life, happy with her mother, and probably working at the zoo. That was the first application that I had to influence to make sure that she wasn't hired. I had influenced hundreds of her job applications, though I honestly lost track and started having Micronus and Nexus work on stopping those, to make sure that no one hired her. I wanted to hire her for this mission and I didn't want her to have obligations to another place of hire before I brought her here.

However, I needed her to keep on applying for jobs and filling out those applications. They revealed so much of her to me that I felt like I knew her ever before we officially met. I knew that she liked cinnamon on her toast in the morning, loved to eat meat, and absolutely hated the color pink. She also didn't like snakes…though I didn't understand why. She had even underlined that on her application to the zoo. She could pick up spiders and salamanders without a second thought but, bring out any kind of snake and she was done. I couldn't find anything that would tell me why she hated snakes but I would ask her once I found her.

After a few minutes of walking, I arrived at the hatch to enter the Nemesis. Finally. Now I just had to find Lizzie. She had to be somewhere on this ship…she just had to be. The thirteen Primes and I were looking everywhere for her and, surprisingly, the Nemesis was one of the few places that we didn't have access. It was probably due to the Decepticon closeness to my brother. I mean, Megatron was going to control the substance that made up Unicron's energon.

…And, as I made my way down the Nemesis halls, that worry came to the forefront of my brain. There was still no sign of dark energon. Maybe after we got back from this mess, Ratchet and Optimus would mention about the battlefield where Megatron would have risen an undead troop to mess with Ratchet and Optimus. If we didn't have dark energon…everything about this timeline was going to be thrown to the Pit and I just hoped that we could recover from it. As much as I hated the substance and what it was doing to my actual chassis, we needed it so we could awake my brother and put an end to this war. It was strange to think about but…for some reason, we needed my brother's dark substance to guarantee an end to this war between my creations.

The sound of pedesteps very close to me caused me to pause. Looking to my left, I felt my eyes widen when I saw two vehicons walking along side me, one of them holding Jack and Raf. Frag it! This wasn't good at all. If I was here now, and those two bots where here now, then…

Engines revving cut through the air and, before I could even think on running, Bumblebee sideswiped the two vehicons. That hit caused the one vehicon to release Jack and Raf into the air. If the two humans would have hit the ground, then they could have been seriously hurt. Thankfully, Arcee was on point and transformed in midair before she slid to a stop on her knees and caught them.

"Bumblebee!" Raf called out to his guardian. I could hear the relief in the young boy's voice.

And of course, the same relief was in Bumblebee's response. "Raf! You're okay!"

"We appreciate you three clearing the front door for us." Arcee started with a strangely pointed look at me. What? I didn't tell them to come after me. I just followed Miko here and was doing some personal work. "But," Arcee continued. "storming the Decepticon warship was not on the activities list."

Not on your activity list. This thought rang into my helm as Jack seemed to agree with his guardian. "Tell me about it."

I shook my head and decided to just keep my mouth shut for now. I needed to stay calm and, more importantly, I needed Arcee to forget that I was here so I could sneak off again and try to find Lizzie. I didn't waste this time to sneak on board the Nemesis just so they could stop me from trying to locate Lizzie.

A sound echoed through the hall that caused all of us to flinch before Arcee motioned forward. "Let's move."

The three of us nodded and started to run ahead. Thankfully, I was in pretty good shape for a part of a being that was in stasis lock on Cybertron. Really. I kept up with the kids just fine and I knew that this wasn't the time to escape. The bots would notice now if I suddenly went missing from the group and that could cause some damage to the time stream. It was already so damaged as it was and I did not want to mess with any more than I had to.

After a few minutes of running, Arcee suddenly stopped and primed her blaster. This was when we would run into Bulkhead, and now probably Cliffjumper too, along with Miko. It was a good thing that I knew this because, if it wasn't them…then I would be nervous. Of course, with how events were playing out that might just happen.

Arcee turned to corner on a dime and, thankfully, I felt relief at the next words out of her mouth. "Friendly!"

"Hello!" Was Bulkhead's immediate response.

Then, as we all came around the corner, Cliffjumper looked down and I saw his optics widen when they landed on me. "Paul? What are you doing here? I figured you were actually behaving back at base." He then sulked slightly.

I just smiled for now. No need to explain to the Autobots why I was here. "Brought the humans huh?"

"You try getting them to stay behind!" Bulkhead said with a motion toward Miko.

Thankfully, everything now seemed to be running smoothly. I would have to be careful just in case something did change. I couldn't afford to screw up and that meant that I had to figure out when I was going to try and lose the Autobots so I could continue my search for, "Paul…what were you doing on the Nemesis?"

At Jack's question, all eyes and optics were focused solely on me. Thanks a lot Jack. Absolutely no brownie points were being earned for you here. I could see that the Autobots were waiting for an answer and I knew that, if I didn't want to mess the show up anymore, that I would have to explain myself. Frag this was tedious. "If you must know, I am a very active CEO in my company. I make it a point to learn the names of all of my employees and what they are like. In a sense, I guess I like to befriend my staff. My staff follows under me and so I am responsible for them at all times. When I heard that there was a chance to search a new place for my employee, I didn't hesitate to follow behind Miko, Bulkhead, and Cliffjumper through the bridge." I crossed my arms before saying, "I did not ask any of you to follow me."

Miko and Cliffjumper looked understanding but Arcee shook her helm and, thankfully, got back on schedule. "We need to find Fowler and get these kids out of here." Oh, I know that she didn't just call me a kid. Because if she called me a kid…then we were going to have some major issues.

Thankfully for her, before I could get a word out against being called a kid, Raf and Jack came to Fowler's somewhat rescues. "Uh…" Everyone looked at the two before they spoke in tandem. "He's in the brig."

And right after that, it seemed like we were running again…The Autobots sure liked to run a lot of places. Lizzie would be happy that she wasn't in this situation right now. Even though she was physically in shape, Lizzie had said plenty of times in her private messages on FanFiction that she did not like to run…at all.

Thankfully, or maybe not so much, a group of drones intercepted us and the bots started to go complete battle royal on them all. It was hard to keep track of who hit which drone but, in short, they were dropping like flies. It was kinda sad how easy the drones were to take out. Just a couple of shots and they were done for the count.

Of course, the fighting just kept coming when we found a side room and our Autobot guardians decided to take it over as a safe room for us. More blaster fire followed and, for a nano-click, I thought about sneaking away now. But, from the look that I was getting from Cliffjumper, I had a feeling that route was a no-go for now. Scrap I think he caught onto me already. That meant that, more than likely, I was not going to continue my search.

…Frag it!

"Clear." Arcee confirmed the room's status as she put away her blaster, and the other bots did as well. Scrap my life this was not going how I wanted it too. I was supposed to just sneak on board and make sure that Lizzie was not here. But, that didn't seem like it was going to happen today. Once us humans were allowed inside, the bots walked up to us before Arcee continued to speak. "Wait in here."

"Wait, aren't we supposed to watch them?" Bumblebee asked and, secretly, I hoped that he won the argument this time. That would mean that the bots would have to take us when they went to get Fowler and that would mean more of a chance for me to look for Lizzie.

However, it seemed like Arcee was not going to back down. "They'll only slow us down and they are easy targets." She then transformed her right servo into her blaster before continuing. "They'll be alright in here…as long as they stay put." She then went to walk around us.

Cliff nodded at that. "That means all of you." He gave me and Miko a very pointed look at that. Well, the one positive I was seeing out of this was that this would give me a better ally in Miko.

When the bots ran out of the room, I immediately went to run after them. However, I only got a couple of steps when the doors closed in front of me. Frag it all! I couldn't open the doors now since the humans were here to see and that meant that I was stuck in here with them. At least I could take a click to think about when I was going to have another chance to get on the Nemesis. Going through each episode from the show, I figured that my best bet of getting on the Nemesis…and also being able to be retrieved with slight ease, would be when Megatron took control of Bumblebee to get back to his body. While that was quite a-ways off, it was the closest that I could figure I would be to get on here again with an escape plan.

"That…" Miko started while turning to look toward me. "…was intense!"

I nodded in agreement with her. Yes, it was very intense for the humans at this point in the timeline. However, I knew that the battles were going to be even more intense as the timeline progressed. There would be fights with Skyquake, Breakdown and Knockout, Megatron, and all of the other Decepticons.

However, while I was in agreement with her…there were two who were not so much. "Was?" Raf asked her incredulously. Of course, it still was intense since we were still on the Nemesis.

Jack, on the other hand, had a different thing to say to Miko. "It's your faults that we are stuck in this 'intensity'! What were you two thinking?" Wait…he was trying to lecture me? Oh, that was so unwise.

"Did we ask you to follow us?" Miko asked him as I stood next to Miko. I was an adult and Miko was old enough to make decisions on her own.

Of course, Jack wasn't done yet. "You wanted us to be a band." He pointed that one directly at Miko. "Doesn't that usually mean playing together?" Wait…he couldn't be against the band idea before and now try and use it against her. That was hypocrisy!

"Well…" Miko started with her hands on her hips. That was a sign that she was probably not going to back down. "Maybe I decided to go solo."

Jack crossed his arms and tried to appear tall before saying, "Well, maybe I have some regard for both of your safety." Right. Like I really needed that as an adult? And they wondered why June was such a helicopter mom later on. Well this should have been the first hint to that.

"Oh! I'm sorry," Miko started sarcastically. "is your name Optimus? You can leave my protection to Bulkhead thank you very much!"

While I would have enjoyed watching this continue on, Raf didn't seem to like to see his friends fighting. "Ah! Stop it! All of you!" And there went any pride that I had in myself. I just got yelled at by a twelve-year old. And…he was right. This wasn't the time to be arguing with each other.

I ran over to where the boy went and sat and took the seat next to him before hugging his shoulders. "Hey, everything is going to be alright." I said in a comforting way. He looked up at me before I continued. "Trust me."

"Yeah," Miko agreed as she sat down next to me and Jack sat on the other side of Raf. "we'll be fine."

Jack nodded. "Our bots will come back for us." He probably realized that Raf was worried about 'Bee as well.

Again, Miko nodded her agreement. "Yeah. They're going to take us home."

Unfortunately, that didn't help as much as it should have. "How do you know?"

While it was out of script, I couldn't stand by and let him feel down. "We know because we trust in the bots. They have protected us so far and they care about us a lot." I then looked up and noticed that the space bridge schematics were up on the screen. That would be perfect! "Hey Raf…what do you make of that?"

That caused Raf to look up and I practically saw his mind start working in overdrive as he hopped down from the ledge that we were sitting on to get a closer look. Once he got close enough, and the rest of us joined him, Raf told us his opinion of the schematics…which were spot on. "It's important…real important."

Lizzie's 1st P.O.V.

An hour. That was how long I was sure that we had been watching Starscream interrogate Fowler and I still couldn't believe that I was here not only watching this interrogation take place…but oddly finding satisfaction in the scene. There really had to be something wrong with me. It also didn't help me much that I was hearing 'What a Wonderful World' every time that Fowler got shocked. I seriously had something wrong in my head.

"My dear Agent Fowler." I payed attention as Starscream began to speak. He was half of the show itself and I didn't want to miss anything that he said. "You do realize…the Autobots have abandoned you." He then let out a chuckle before saying, "I am the only one that you can rely upon now. So…tell me what I want to know or…" He then held up the prod before, to my surprise, he continued. "Or, if that fails to work, then I can always turn you over to my…illustrious leader. I'm sure he will be able to get the information out of you though I can promise that he will be far less…forgiving, than me."

Holy slag. Starscream was scaring the scrap out of me and I had never even imagined that he could be this scary. Fragging timeline. If this was normal, then I would simply have to relax and enjoy watching Starscream try and look intimidating. But, this was hard core fear factor here.

Fowler's reaction was immediate. "Please…no more." He sounded tired and I knew that this was taking its toll on the Agent. "Their secret…government base…" Unlike in the show, Starscream did not turn off the prod and held it there as Fowler continued to egg him on. This Starscream was…dare I say it…smart!

"Go on…" Starscream encouraged the Agent with a hint of disbelief in his voice. I didn't blame the seeker for reacting like that…especially if what was bound to happen would happen.

And of course, with the sound of blasters being heard down the hall…it did. "…In the old steel mill." He then paused and had a slight smirk before he continued. "Or was it under that old carnival fun house?"

Starscream did not like that answer and growled before he shocked Fowler quite a few times. Frag it Fowler it was always better to just keep your mouth shut then antagonize the giant alien robot with a electric prod.

Now, Starscream turned his attention to the matter outside. "Someone find out what is going on out there!" Two vehicons who were standing guard at the door nodded before the ran out to, what I knew was, their offlining.

"So, what do you think is going on out there?" I asked Frenzy and Rumble in a whisper.

They both looked at me before Rumble spoke. "Well, if I had to guess, I bet it would be the Autoscum coming here to rescue their human agent. Don't know why they would though. He seems like he is really annoying."

Before I could give Rumble the reason, Frenzy helm slapped him before saying, "Dude, it's because he knows the location of their base. If he would have squealed to 'Scream, then we would be attacking their base right now."

That was exactly right. Good job Frenzy! Hanging out with them was going to be awesome and I knew that this was the start of a beautiful friendship. So, I nodded. "Exactly. Starscream needs to get that information out of Fowler quickly before the Autobots get here."

Thankfully, it seemed like Starscream knew that as well. "Wake up you pathetic lump of flesh!" Fowler didn't take the last round of electricity too well and now he was out of it.

That was proven to be even more true when he somewhat woke up. "Grandma…is it cookie time?"

Immediately my palm found my forehead. "Do I have to claim that I'm the same species as him?" I mean seriously…either Fowler was an idiot or Starscream must sound like his grandma…which would be creepy as all hell.

Both Rumble and Frenzy patted my back, and this time they didn't put as much pressure as when they poked me earlier. It was still a little hard but they seemed to be learning human body limitations to comfort. "Nah! You're the Decepticon's human now! That means you are way better than he is!" Frenzy tried to comfort me.

But, the only thing that would register in my head when he said that was that I was the property of the Decepticons. Great. Guess I was really the human pet now. What was next? I guide book on how to take care of me?

Thankfully, I couldn't go deep into my thoughts as a knock sounded from the other side of the door. I knew exactly what was going to happen and sighed. Megatron was not going to be a happy camper about this. Not at all.

When the door opened, a lone drone was seen standing there. "Well?" Starscream asked him…though he didn't seem as harsh as he was during the show. This was really changing and I was so going to be killing Paul once the fragging god decided to contact me. I mean…what was he doing? Laying on some beach in Tahiti sipping on a coconut drink with a little umbrella in it?

Starscream got his answer when Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Cliffjumper came in all aimed their blasters at him. "Let Fowler go!" Bulkhead demanded off script.

Cliffjumper nodded and added, "And where's the girl?"

Aw! I felt loved by the Autobots. But, I was going to be staying here so I kept my mouth shut. I could see, out of the corner of my eyes, that Rumble and Frenzy were studying me hesitantly. They knew that I was technically here against my will and it would have been nothing to yell out where I was. But, I had been accepted into at least a part of their fold already and I wasn't going to ruin that because the Autobots wanted to 'save' me.

Starscream activated his blaster and aimed it at Fowler. "Not so fast Autobots." Starscream warned them. The threat was definitely there and, with how Starscream had been acting so far, that threat was a very real threat. Hopefully things didn't change or we would be seeing Fowler bits fly all over the room. That wouldn't be good.

However, a ping on the top of Starscream's helm had the seeker looking up, as did we, and we saw Arcee hanging above him with her blaster pointed toward his helm. You would think that the Autobots had the advantage but, since Starscream had his blaster pointed at Fowler, he was even up with them. "I wouldn't." Arcee warned him.

Starscream, however, was about to say my favorite line of his in the entire show…and he talked a lot so he had a lot of lines. "Oh, but I might."

The twins high fived each other at that one and I smiled. "Score to Starscream for savage comeback." Rumble said.

I nodded and high fived the twins as well before saying, "Definitely. Go 'Scream!" Well, it was whispered but the point was there.

Starscream then continued but, as he did, I noticed that the twins seemed to straighten up slightly. My best guess was that they were getting a message from Soundwave. "Now, Agent Fowler and I will take our leave."

While I wanted to hear Fowler's response, the twins decided at that point to talk with me. "Boss says that we need to get to him now. Don't want to take anymore of a risk that the Autobots might see us. That wouldn't be good at all." Rumble started.

Frenzy nodded at that. "Yeah. Too bad we can't see how this is going to end."

As soon as Frenzy said that, the Autobots started to shoot at Starscream and I knew that this was our best time to move. So, the three of us stood up and made our way through the vent and I followed the twins to Soundwave's location. As we moved toward Soundwave's location, I couldn't help but think about what had just happened. There had been a chance to get with the Autobots, and maybe connect with Paul, and I had turned it down. I chose to stay on this ship where I knew my life was on the line each and every second. Who knew? Right now a stray blaster shot could hit the vent we were walking in and, while the twins might be sad for a little, I wouldn't be missed.

…So why the frag didn't I leave?

It took us about fifteen minutes to get to Soundwave, who was on the bridge with Megatron, Starscream, and some of the drones. Guess the Autobots were already gone. But, that made me worried. The next scene that the show had shown was Starscream getting pounded by an angry dark energon infused Megatron for delaying his plans. But, this time the plan had been Megatron's. So, where was the episode going to go from here.

"My plans have been delayed!" Megatron growled as we came to the open vent and sat on the edge. I noticed that Soundwave took a quick glance up at us before he nodded slightly and returned his gaze toward Megatron.

Starscream nodded at that and typed a few things into the monitor that he was facing. "Yes. It seems that the Autobot Bulkhead destroyed our interstellar navigation satellite. We will need to repair it before we can proceed."

Megatron sent a glare at Starscream and growled before he paced around the room. "This will not do. Optimus could receive reinforcements at any time and, if we do not have our space bridge in working order, then we cannot move forward!" He let out a yell before he slammed his fist against the console.

I waited a few clicks for someone to say something about the satellite array. I figured that, in the show, Starscream had been the one to mention it to the angry Megatron. But, since Starscream hadn't come up with this plan, he didn't have any sort of compensation to offer Megatron. Great. That meant that, if I wanted to try and keep things going on pace, that I was going to have to open my big mouth.

So, I let out a sigh. "I think I can help with that."

Every single set of optics snapped up toward me and, all of a sudden, I felt very nervous. I didn't like being the center of attention and, of course, here I was…bright as day the focal point of the room. Soundwave walked up to us and held up his servo, allowing the three of us to jump down, and he moved the twins to his left servo before walking me up to the big bot himself. "You? I doubt that you could do much to repair my satellite in any reasonable time." Megatron questioned me.

Knowing that I had to answer quickly, I nodded in response to his reasoning. "You're right. With how small and weak I am I couldn't possibly even dream of hoping to help repair your satellite. But, with what I have planned, you won't need to repair it."

Megatron raised an optic ridge at that and seemed to study me, which was pretty unnerving, before he spoke. "And just what could you have planned that could put my operation back on schedule without the use of our interstellar navigation satellite? A human satellite would not be able to generate enough power to come close to guiding the space bridge to Cybertron."

I nodded at that, though I was extremely nervous about talking with Megatron like this. "Of course they wouldn't. Your technology is far superior to our own. But, let me ask you this; have you ever heard of the giant size array in Texas?"

Paul's 1st P.O.V.

I shook my head as I watched Bulkhead and Bumblebee leave the base with the two remaining kids…for now. I didn't understand what Jack was thinking. While it was true that being with the Autobots was a danger to humans like us, it was much safer than being without an Autobot if the Decepticons tried to take you. Then, I knew that he would be wishing to be with the Autobots. Plus, it wasn't the Autobots' fault that humans saw them fighting. Actually, I was kinda impressed that it hadn't happened before now.

"Optimus!" I jumped when Ratchet suddenly yelled that. I knew that he was going over the data that was on the picture Miko took but I didn't think that he would be done analyzing it so soon.

Cliffjumper and Optimus walked over, since Arcee had to take care of something in the energon storage room, before Cliff tried to peek at what Ratchet was doing. "What's up doc?"

Ratchet, in turn, glared at Cliff before turning to Optimus. "These…are engineering specs for a space time vortex generator."

We all knew what that meant…even if the Autobots didn't know that I knew that. "Megatron's building a space bridge." Optimus then paused and thought deeper before saying, "If they haven't already."

And of course, I knew that they had. But, I was still worried. When we got back from the Nemesis, and my search for Lizzie turned out to be a fruitless endeavor, I grew worried when Optimus and Ratchet did not mention a fight with Cybertronian undead…or even that they saw Megatron. Dark energon was supposed to have made an appearance by now. Since it hadn't I was worried about what Megatron had planned for the space bridge now. What I did know, though, was that it could not be good.

"The sooner he leaves the better."

I jumped when Bulkhead's voice suddenly sounded behind me. How did big bots sneak around like that? It should be an impossibility. Hopefully I would be able to get used to it. That was especially with what I was going to be asking the Autobots once this scene played out.

"Bulkhead," Optimus started. "a space bridge runs in two directions. Megatron may not be using it to leave Earth…but what he plans on doing with it remains unknown. Whatever the case may be, though, we cannot allow him to use it."

Scrap everything to the Pit! This had changed so much already and it was because of fragging dark energon not being around! The Autobots were going to have to go to the space bridge blind to what Megatron's plans were. That could change the outcome of this entire beginning and I knew that I couldn't allow that to happen. "Excuse me…Optimus?" All of the Autobots turned to me as I got their leader's attention. "While I am here, and my employee remains to be missing, I was wondering if I could perhaps stay somewhere here in the base? I have no plans for the future while I am here in Jasper and this would save you some Energon. I would just need to go home to get food sometimes."

Ratchet looked like he wanted to argue but, whatever argument he was going to make was made moot by Optimus nodding. "Yes, for the time being you may stay here. I believe that there are rooms down the right side corridor that will fit you. Cliffjumper," Optimus turned his attention to my guardian. "Take Paul home and help him pack what he will need for his stay here."

Cliff nodded and transformed before opening his passenger door to me, his soliform already in the driver's seat. "Guess I'll be seeing a lot more of you now." Cliff commented to me as he started to drive out of the base.

"Yeah…I guess you will." I answered him back, though my mind was already starting to wander. I wanted to try and reach Lizzie…wherever she was. Since I had been on the Nemesis I was hoping that would allow me to make a connection to Lizzie. But, as I pushed the boundaries of my mind, I realized that I was still not able to find her. This was extremely frustrating! I knew that she wasn't dead, because I would be able to find her body and no one could stop me. But, where could she be?

I glanced out of Cliff's window and found myself staring up at Earth's moon. It was strange. I had moons of my own and yet I never could stop looking away from this one. It was strange that something that came from my brother could be so…beautiful. It almost didn't seem right. Of course, I really couldn't say much. Even though Lizzie came from a different Earth, while she was living here she came from my brother as well. Humanity came from my brother. Such a strange species but, at the same time, such a unique species. They were just like my own creations even though they were born from Chaos while my own creations were born from order.

"Hey Paul…you alright?" Cliffjumper asked me as he drove into town.

Looking around, still coming out of my daze, I nodded a few times. "Yeah I'm alright. Just…a lot of things on my mind."

Paul: Um...Authoress?

Authoress: *curious* Yes Paul?

Paul: *points to story* Two things. First...*yells*WHERE IS THE DARK ENERGON?

Authoress: *shrugs* You're asking the wrong person. I have no control of this story. I'm just writing things as they happen.

Paul: *irritated eyebrow twitch* Well then let me ask you something that I know you know. *pauses* *yells* WHERE IS LIZZIE?

*Silence*

Cliffjumper: *Walks in* Hey Paul. I just saw Authoress running down the hall. Do you know why?

Paul: *anger oozing out of him* *yells* Authoress where is she!? *runs after Authoress*

Cliffjumper: *confused* What am I supposed to do now?

CN: Um...okay. This is Cliffjumper. I'm not sure what that was all about but, since the chapter is done, I figured that I would give this to all of you. So, I'm pretty sure that the Authoress hopes that you enjoyed this...though Paul obviously didn't. From what i got to see, it looked like there is a lot of stuff going down. Of course, I've been reading the past set of these 'notes' and I haven't noticed that anything seems changed or off. Maybe they are just losing their minds? Human minds do deteriorate after a while...right?

*shakes helm* Anyways, I guess the Authoress would like to hope that you enjoyed this and that you...um...*tries to think of word*...*thinks of word* review! That's it! I think she will want you to review to let her know how you like her recording of our lives right now. Since I don't know where Paul and the Authoress is...I guess that is all. *waves* See you all later! *walks out of room to try and find Authoress and Paul*
