And we're back again!!!! Okay, about the whole cooties thing. The object of the game is to
capture or defeat the leaders of each group. This would be Ardeth & Carter and Susan &Abby.
And Ardeth and Carter are not the easiest people to catch.....HOWEVER, the spoofauthors are
FEMALE! AND we have the list of magic talents, and who has what. And we have a few
Magician class talents that have not been revealed! And they're WOMEN! The girls are in
fact outnumbered, there are TWO magician class talents as leads of the boys side, whereas,
Susan and Abby do not have this. Abby is Chameleon. If you have not read "A Spell For
Chameleon" by Piers Anthony, Chemeleon appears on Fellowship, and it is fully explained.
Abby changes from Anya to Sarah Harding, Abby being the middle phase. Unfortunately,
since Xanth is involved in this, Abby is going to be changing into Anya very shortly. We have
no choice in this matter, however she changes back to Abby after Anya, before she becomes
Sarah Harding. We'll figure this out yet. Abby is starring in "A Spoof of Chameleon" opposite
Carter! (for all you Carbys! --YES she WILL marry him in this!) So Carter will be married to three
different women, who are all the same woman.....look at it this way, Spike and Logan are both
married to the same woman (Buffy), who is now their sister, (as of US Psychos), and since
Fellowship, thier kids are all cousins. Now you figure THAT one out. Anyhow, natuarally,
the outnumbered girls turn to the first one they can think of that would be on their side.....
Shadowkitty's mommy-Buffy! HOWEVER, the last thing you'd think of. The only one who can
take down Ardeth Bay......the Buffy look-alike in the van, Lucy Knight. Wait and see what her
talent is!
************************************************************************

On the roof, Romano had suddenly decided that he very much hated this game. He was now tied
to a chair in a small secluded area off to the side of the elevator. Watching him was Elizabeth
Corday and Jing Mei Chen. Obviously, they didn't trust Elizabeth alone with him. Where the
other girls were, Romano had no idea. He knew now that Abby and Susan were the lead of the
group, and they had said something about getting Mysti Q back.

"Is it absolutely necessary for me to be tied up out here?" He demanded. "Can't you just stuff
me in a closet somewhere?" The roof was starting to bother him.

Chen stared at him. "You'd rather be stuffed in a CLOSET?!" She spat out.

Romano's face changed. He was now staring at Chen as if she were a bug. "Wow, how'd you do
that?" He asked.

Chen frowned. "What?"

Elizabeth was now staring at her as well. "Your hair is purple." She informed her.

Jing Mei stared. "WHAT!?" She exclaimed, the color now changing to a bright red.

"Hey, you did it again!" Romano put in, laughing. "Can you make it blue?"

"Get me a mirror." Jing Mei demanded.

A few minutes later, Elizabeth ran back to the roof with a small hand held mirror. Jing Mei's hair
was now pink.

"Wow." She breathed, staring at the mirror. She closed her eyes and thought for a moment.
The hair changed back to black.

"Aww, come on!" Robert protested. "Make it striped or something!"

Jing Mei appeared to think about it for a minute, then she grinned, and consentrated. Her hair
changed skunk-striped. "Look." She said, triumphantly. "It's Cassi."

Elizabeth started laughing.

Romano turned his head at an angle. "Yeah, it's you." He remarked. You should keep it that
way."

"What's going on?" Susan demanded, as she approached. "You're laughing with the hostage."

Jing Mei turned around with a grin. "Check it out!" She crowed. "Look what I can do!" She
proceeded to change her hair from skunk-striped to bright pink.

Susan stared. "Wow!" She exclaimed. "How did you DO that?!"

"I think she just found her magic talent." Romano informed her. "Cassi and Sven mentioned
there's a bunch of people with them. Carter and Ardeth both are Magician-class, though."

"What is his talent, anyway?" Susan asked.

"Who, Carter?" Romano put in. "Can't say. It protects itself. I read the book, so I know, but
the talent itself won't let me say it."

"Figures." Susan muttered. "So what's yours?"

Romano frowned. "I haven't the slightest idea." He answered. "They haven't told me yet."

Elizabeth shrugged. "I wonder what other talents there are." She mused. "Most of the staff has
been on this spoofset for a long time. That means most of them are going to have talents."

"That doesn't mean they're big ones." Romano reminded them. "Some it's really just subtle...."
He grinned. "Like Chen's freak show there."

Chen smirked. "You're just jealous, because you don't know what yours is." She gloated.

"I don't know what mine is either." Susan retorted.

Elizabeth sighed. "So where did the others go?" She asked, changing the subject.

Susan grinned. "Well, we're outnumbered.....so Shadowkitty went to get her Mommy-Buffy."
She answered.

Romano shook his head. "You're getting the Slayer?" He shot out in disbelief. "That seems a
little unfair."

"Please." Jing Mei muttered, her hair changing a nice shade of green. "Ardeth can change people
into frogs. How fair is that....and will you stop that?!"

Romano was staring again. "Huh? Sorry, you were saying....geez that's hard to get used to. Can
you make it polka-dot, too?"

Jing Mei thought for a moment. "How about this?" She remarked, making it blue with green
triangles.

"I'm impressed." Romano responded, grinning. He was enjoying this distraction. It was keeping
his mind off other unpleasant memories of their location.
*************************************************************************

Meanwhile, downstairs in the Boy's home-base, which currently was the daycare room. Mysti Q
was over in the corner, tied to a chair, with Wolvie and Snaggle watching her.....that is they were
watching her when they weren't exchanging rude comments to each other.

In the opposite side of the room, Carter, Ardeth, Kovac, Gallant, Dave, Cyke, Boyo, and Creepy
were in the middle of a pow-wow. The other guys were out trying to spy on the girls, as they
still didn't know who their leaders were yet.

"I'm betting Abby's one of them." Carter remarked, getting several nods.

"Abby is definitely one of them." Luka told them. "When we saw them making plans, she was
more in charge. The other one might be either Susan or Chen."

Ardeth frowned. "Anyone know where they're hiding?" He asked. "We need to find where they
have Romano."

"They're still working on that." Creepy answered. He was busy studying the layout of the
hospital, based on the wall maps they had stolen. He could not bamf places until he knew where
he was going.

"So where do you think they'd put him?" Dave asked.

Carter frowned. "Knowing Abby, Susan and Deb.......I would say the last place we'd look." He
answered. "Closet somewhere....men's bathrooms.....womens bathrooms..."

"Roof?" Gallant put in.

"Way too obvious." Kovac told him. "Romano had an accident up there, remember? They
wouldn't be that stupid." **To quote from Shadows of the Spoof "They don't think that any-
one would be as stupid as we are. It fools them every time."**

Gallant nodded. "So now what?" He asked.

Carter looked at Ardeth. "I say we spread out and look for them." He replied. "If they're going to
try to get MystiQ, they'll look for the base. We need to scout out for spies."

Ardeth nodded. "Carter is with me." He put in, with a grin. "And we'll take Creepy."

Cyke nodded. "Boyo and me are together." He stated, then turned to Gallant. "You wanna come?"

"Okay." He answered with a nod.

Dave looked at Luka. "You with me?" He asked.

Luka nodded. "Yeah, we'll go look for Doug, and the missing X-Babies." He answered. "We
might need Phyro, Magneato, Gumbo, and IceBoy."

Carter nodded in agreement. "Hey! Wolvie!" He called out. "You and Snaggle watch her!"

Wolvie and Snaggle looked at each other in distaste.

"Without tearing each other apart!" Ardeth added.

"Let's go." Creepy cut in, holding out his hands.
*************************************************************************

Downstairs, Chuny headed down the hall. "Dr. Pratt!" She called, causing the doctor to turn.
"I got the labs back on Billy Idol......he's dead."

"What?" Pratt questioned, turning.

"I mean he's dead." Chuny told him. "No pulse, no BP, and he's room temperature. He's dead."

"No he's not!" A small voice spoke up next to her.

Chuny looked down to see two little girls. One with red hair, and the other with dark curly hair.

"He's my Daddy-Spike." The curly haired one announced. "He's a vampire. Have you seen my
Mommy Buffy?"

Pratt looked from the girls to Chuny. "All yours." He informed her, walking off. "I have the King
of Gondor with Compy bites to get to."

Chuny watched him walk off, not even wanting to ask. She had already assisted Benton with
the Elf-Prince of Mirkwood. "Okay, you're looking for your mommy?" She asked the little girl.
"What's your name?"

The girl smiled. "I'm Shadowkitty, and this is Jeanie." She announced. "We need to find my
Mommy-Buffy, so she can help us beat the boys."

Chuny smiled and shook her head. This day just kept on getting better. "Why don't we just ask
your Daddy-Spike where she is." She suggested.

Shadowkitty nodded. "Okay."

Spike looked up when the nurse walked in with Shadowkitty and Jeanie in tow. "Oh, you found
my daughter." He spoke up.

"We need Mommy Buffy." Shadowkitty told him. "The girls are at war against the boys and
we're out numbered."

Spike nodded. "She was just here." He informed them. "Should be back in a second." He
turned back to Chuny. "Everything normal?"

Chuny stared at him. "You're dead." She answered.

Spike nodded. "Oh good....was worried there for a second." He responded. "Got my soul back
not long ago, and you never know."

This was when a blond girl walked in. "Hey, Shadow! What are you doing here?" The girl asked.

"Good news, Slayer." Spike spoke up. "I'm still dead."

"Oh good." She answered. "What's wrong with our daughter?"

"Mommy Buffy, we're playing cooties, and we need more help." Shadowkitty explained. "There
are too many boys, and they gots bigger powers."

Buffy raised an eyebrow. "Oookaaay." She answered. "And you want me to play."

The two nodded. "The boys leaders are both Magicians." Jeanie explained. "Our hostage said
so."

Buffy started laughing. "You have a HOSTAGE?!"

Shadowkitty nodded. "Yeah, and he was real easy to catch a-cause he likes Lizzie." She
explained.

Chuny turned sharply. "What did you say?" She asked, staring.

"Our hostage....he's the Chief of Staff." Shadowkitty answered. "He likes Lizzie, so we caught
him really easy. They was holdin' her hostage, so we broked her out, and took him. Bu' now
we need more girls cause there's more of the boys."

"And you're playing a "Cooties" game?" Chuny asked, suddenly interested. No one had seen
the the missing doctors for an extended period of time now.

Jeanie and Shadow nodded. "It's boys against the girls." Jeanie told her. "Ardeth can change
people into things, so we can't catch him...and he's one of the leaders. So we need more girls."

Buffy looked at Spike, who shrugged. "Okay, I'll play." She answered. "Why not?"

Chuny frowned. "And where do you have your hostage?" She asked, curiously.

Jeanie shook her head. "Huh-uh." She answered. "We can't say. The boys might be spying."

Buffy gave a small smile. "Okay, why don't we get Dawn, and see if she wants to play, too?"
She suggested. "Then we'll have more girls."

The two kids grinned. "Okay!" They said in unison, with a cheer.

Spike shook his head. "Have fun." He told them.

"You're not gonna play?" Buffy asked him.

"Nah, I'll stay out of this one." Spike remarked. "Probably safer that way."

Chuny shook her head and left the room, looking for Benton. He was going to LOVE this one.
**************************************************************************

In the van outside, the audience watched with interest.

"This is incredible." Greene spoke up, grinning.

"Wonder how many five year olds there will be before the end of this." Langly remarked.

Lucy stared at the screen, with a strange look on her face. "I wanna play too." She put in,
causing everyone in the van to stare.

Jimmy grinned at her. "So do I."

"Now that, I'm not surprised at." Frohike retorted, rolling his eyes.

Langly frowned. "You know, I do too." He confessed. "Not fair that they're having all the fun.
This was supposed to be torture. It's just not right."

Lucy looked at them, smiling. "Who's for joining the fun?" She asked.

Glory gave a wicked grin. "The boys outnumber the girls. That just ain't fair, is it?" She put in.
"I wanna play too."
*************************************************************************

A few minutes later, coming from the van, were a small group of five year olds. This included
Glory, Lucy, Langly, Byers, Jimmy Bond, Nikki Carpenter-Langly, and Yves.

**May God have mercy on the souls of those inside.***
*************************************************************************
End part 14.

Okay people, the plot thickens! And we are NOT done yet! You get to see the manifestations of
talents reguarding Yves, Lucy, Kovac, Dave, and the five year olds are NOT done yet! There will
be more! One of the girls has the talent to change the age of a person......wait and see!!! Give us
reviews now! We're not even close to ending this!

Yes, by this time, Nikki and Langly are married. For those not familiar with the spoofs,
Nikki and Langly got together in Cutthroat Island, by Cassi. They became an item shortly
after. During the season change, Between Fellowship and Psychos, and in the middle of
Forbidden Spoof, the two were married. We're working on Mulder and Scully now.
