~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our story takes place with Dave Lister, and Arnold Rimmer in the Brig. They have been in the brig for about a year and have basically gotten used to everything. Lister and Rimmer lay asleep in their cots, until Lister is woken up by a loud sound coming from below the floor boards. Lister Gets up to see what's going on

All of a sudden, the head of a skutter pops up from the floor board, Lister automatically recognizes it as Bob.

Lister was almost ecstatic! He hadn't seen bob since he was eaten by Pete the dinosaur, the coughed back up and hit Captain Hollister in the head!

"BOB! Buddy! What the smeg are you doing here?" Said Lister

Bob made a clicking noise and handed Lister a small white telephone. Lister took the phone, not knowing what it was and put it up to his ear.

"Hello?" He said

"Listy! Its me, Ace, Arny, old Rimmer!" Said Rimmer's familiar voice.

Dave took a look at the Rimmer laying asleep on the bed, he had never told him about his former self on Red dwarf, and how he had left to become Ace Rimmer, apparently he had some explaining to do! The Rimmer on the bad began to wake up.

"Rimmer! Its really you?" Said Lister, in a quiet, cautious way.

The Rimmer on the bed yawned and got up. "What the smeg are you doing? What's that?" he asked.

"just give me 10 minutes" Whispered Lister, and went back to his phone call.

"Oh Its me all right!" Said Rimmer on the phone, his voice sounded Just Like Ace Rimmer, well that figured, considering he was Ace Rimmer.

"Wow!" Said Lister, not knowing what to say.

"Listy, I missed ya, buddy! Listen, there will be plenty of time to catch up later, but I need to talk to you about something serious" He was beginning to sound like Rimmer again.

"Sure"

"Well, in my spare time, I was cruising through parallel universes, and I came across one with a holographic you, Kryten, and the Cat..."

Lister wasn't sure where this was going, he began to wonder if he was talking about the universe that Kristine Kochanski had come from.

"Well, I was talking with Dave, I mean you, and he told me the sad story about how he had lost his Lover, The guy was a wreck! Drunk, Lonely looking, hadn't done a thing with his hair in months, oh wait, nothing different about that..."

"yeah, get on with it"

"Long story short, I'm coming for a visit, and bringing the guy with me"

Lister almost choked!! He suddenly remembered why he hated Rimmer so much!! He had been so close to winning Kochanski over to himself! If she were to see her old boyfriend, Himself, The better version of himself that could stay awake during Operas, it would ruin all of his hard work! She would forget all about him and fall into His Smegging `evil twins' arms! Lister suddenly understood why Rimmer could never get along with himself! He remembered when there were 2 Rimmer holograms on the ship, He thought it was a good laugh back then, but he never imagined it happening to him! Not to mention, the guy was better then him in every way!

"Listy???"

"Smeg no!!" Shouted Lister

"Lister, I thought you would be happy to see me! Its been over a year! Why the smeg not?... Oh I know! Its Kochanski! You don't want her to be reunited with him! How are things going with you two?" He no longer sounded like ace at all, but he sounded like a very Happy Arnold Rimmer, the Arnold who loved laughing at other peoples pain!

"How do you even know about that?" Lister asked him, He pretty much knew how, he just wanted to hear Rimmer say it.

"He told me everything! How you shot her in the smegging leg with a harpoon gun and dragged her onto your ship!"

"I was saving her life, Man!" shouted Lister!

"What The smeg is going on!!" Shouted The Rimmer sitting on the bed. Neither Rimmer knew about the other one, Ace didn't know that another Rimmer was taking his place, Ace didn't Know that Red Dwarf had been re built by Nanos, and that the entire crew was alive, and on the ship with him.

"Shut the smeg up! I'll tell you when I'm done!!" Lister went back to his phone call. "By the way Rimsy, The entire ship was re built By Nanos and the entire crew is alive, and me, Kochanski, Kryten, The cat, and you, and in the brig, because I was trying to help you become an officer, and we were caught for using classified information to out knowledge" He Blurted out, not feeling like explaining all the details.

"Hey, I said there would be time to catch up later! I gotta get going, Smoke Me a Kipper, I'll see you tomorrow morning!" His Ace Rimmer voice had come back. Rimmer hung up.

Lister put the phone down. "Smegging hell" He mumbled.
