Part 26!!! And you our readers have now pushed us up to 100 Reviews!!!! We LOVE you!
(mainly because we barely make an average of 10 on our others--hint hint) Anyways, we're
happy to say that everyone who has reviewed this has liked it! We're aware that not everyone
can say that....so thanks for that as well.
Now enough of that stuff....Deb, yes you can come in. ^_^ Kekelina....did I spell your name
wrong when I emailed you? Sorry...yeah, we'll get you in as well...although you'll have to hang
around with Carter and Ardeth, and not just Carter....we've still been unable to separate them.
And the Admiral Jimmy....we need to hear from you....if you haven't emailed by the time this
comes out.
Let's see....for this part...um where the heck were we? Aside of Cassi has a headache that
hasn't stopped yet....working on it. not with lortab....that doesn't work on headaches for me.
We were....um....we still have no idea where Romano and Corday went....I really am working on
firguring it out. We were in the lobby..having a big party. We have three Franks around....
does anyone have mustard? Okay bad one...we don't have Frank Colton in yet otherwise we'd
have four Franks......and there really isn't that much mustard around...mainly because they're
painting the walls with it and throwing it at each other. Go figure. We have a few more kids...
and obviously more to come. Jimmy, we've pretty much firgured most of the ending.....but can't
spoil it. Only that we'll leave it drop off and no one finds out what happens until Chameleon
chapter 7....which does not mean seven sections online, because we squeeze all we can into
each one, and we skip a few things....people it's 344 page book, you honestly think we're going
to write out ALL of it? What are we, insane?.....um don't answer that. It's going to be pretty
long though. Heir to the Spoof, Sven WILL finish it. Dispite popular belief, Admiral....and
Matt.
Okay, now we're supposed to get back to the story. Please give us a break. It takes a while to
get started. Our brains must figure out what happens next. This takes time....and a whole lot
of drugs. Um...ahem...you didn't just hear that. We're in the ER Lobby....I think. Whether
we're all there or not remains in doubt...considering we're listening to Mark Lowry on Broadway.
Becca, we taped it for you but we have to listen to it to make sure it's taped right.....really. ^_^
More notes.... ^_^ Don't you love this? Deb! Got your email...you replied fast...we've got
great plans for "Dorket-shmuck" and Babcock. About that Fast Eddie. Is his name spelled
Dorset, Dorcet, or with a double "t"? Not that it matters to us, we call him Dr. Shmuck. Did that
guy creep anyone else out or was it just us? *shivers* What a complete jerk! We'll have to
get you a pic, Becca. For the record, we will refer to him as "Dr. Dorket" or "Dr. Shmuck". in
this fic. He will be making his first appearence.
**on the side I'm listening to Mark Lowry "Livin' For Deep Fried Oakra."--don't ask. Becca,
you'll find out ^_^**

In the ventilation shaft, Romano was showing Elizabeth where he'd hid the coffee.
"This all of it?" She asked, frowning.
"It doesn't take much." He informed her.
She nodded. "And you can drink it or come in contact with it."
He nodded. "Yeah, Shirley already proved that."
Elizabeth frowned, considering it. "So how much do we need to change back?" She asked.
Romano shrugged. "I wouldn't think all that much."
"Hmmmm...." She mused, more to herself.
"What do ya got in mind?" Robert asked with a sly grin.
"Not sure yet." Elizabeth answered. "We'll have to do some planning. Where's the rest of the
balloons?"
Romano pulled the last six from his pocket. "This is all I got left." He told her.
Elizabeth nodded. "Well, we really don't need that much..." She broke off, frowning as they
both heard voices. "Shhh!"
The two of them crawled to one of the vent openings to see Dr. Weasle (Edson) and Dr Dorket
talking in the hallway. The two surgeons had discovered the mess in OR2, and were wondering
what had happened....and where everyone was...like Shirley...and Corday.
Romano frowned, watching them. "Who's the Shmuck?" He asked, quietly.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "Eddie, don't you remember him?"
"Right....that guy..." He made a face. "Didn't he hit on you?"
Elizabeth gave him a Look. "Why, are you jealous?" She retorted.
Romano made a "Calvin" face. "Of THAT?! Ugh, Lizzie...gimme a break." He spat out.
**Calvin and Hobbes...if you've never seen some of his disgusted faces, we pity you.**
The two watched the jerks talk a few minutes.
"What do ya think they'd say if they knew it was you who torched the OR?" Romano asked
suddenly.
Elizabeth almost gave him an annoyed look, but then she paused to think about it, then grinned.
"I think Edson might think before he tried to annoy me again." She answered, honestly.
Robert snickered, watching them. "Lizzie? You wanna cause some more trouble?" He asked
with an evil look.
Elizabeth turned to look at the surgeons, who obviously had not been there for the beginning
of the current festivities. "Hmmm..." She mused. "And what would you suggest?"
Romano gave an innocent look. "Well, I'd love to blow them up with a rocket launcher....no pun
intended." He added, smirking. "And then after they bring them back, I'd like to shoot them....
however, for torture, I'm not entirely sure."
Elizabeth closed her eyes and started laughing. "Why am I not surprised?"
The two surgeons suddenly turned at the sound of children's laughter. "Is someone over
there?" Edson demanded.
Romano covered Lizzie's mouth. "I don't see anyone!" He answered loudly.
Behind the two surgeons, another voice spoke up. "There! Nobody's there! If someone was
there, he'd see 'em, wouldn't I?"
Edson and Dorket turned to stare at who could only be Groucho Marx. The man grinned,
did his eyebrow thing, waved his cigar, and waltzed off in a crouch walk.
"Did I just see that?" Edson asked, in disbelief.
Dorket shook his head. "Probably some prank." He muttered.
In the vent shaft, Robert still had his hand over Lizzie's mouth and she was practically turning
blue from supressed laughter. She fell over against him, and both of them tumbled out of the
vent shaft, laughing.
The surgeons found them instantly.
"What the--" Edson began. "What are you two doing up here?"
The kids stopped laughing and looked up at them, then over at each other. "Oops." Romano
retorted. "This is your fault, you know."
Elizabeth looked over at him. "MY fault?!" She demanded. "How is it MY fault?"
"You laughed." He told her. "If you had kept your mouth shut, we could have dropped some
thing on them."
"Oh and as if your talking wasn't getting louder and louder." She countered.
The surgeons looked at one another and back down at the kids.
"I say it's YOUR fault!" Romano cried.
"Well I say it's YOUR fault!" Lizzie shouted back.
Then the two of them exchanged a glance. "Now?" Romano asked.
"NOW!" Elizabeth answered. With this, they kicked the surgeons in the shins and bolted
down the hallway, laughing, leaving both men leaping on one foot and staring after them.
"Ooooh, I hate kids!" Edson muttered.
************************************************************************
In the lobby of the ER, the party had not stopped. Carter was now dancing on a gurney in the
middle of the room with Ardeth watching from the floor. Weaver was groaning, and shaking her
head. Anspaugh was swallowing more headache pills, and Frank Donovan had started a soccer
game in the middle of the lobby. He was playing with Monica, Sven, Cassi, Benton, and a new
comer....Deb! **welcome to the party!--Deb is a friend of ours who has read every spoof we've
ever put out, and loved them all**
Anspaugh shook his head in disgust. (This was because the ball we were using was Babcock)
"We want boingy BACK!!!!" Pounce yelled.
"GOAL!" Benton cried, triumphantly.
"I don't believe I'm seeing this." Connie remarked, staring.
"That's disgusting." Weaver added. "I can't believe Peter is going along with this."
Sandy shrugged, not commenting....most likely to avoid sleeping on the couch.
"My turn!" Deb cried, giving Babcock a strong kick. The ball flew upwards, bouncing off the
ceiling, and just missing Carter's head as it came back down.
Cassi grinned. "Nice shot, Deb. He squeaked the whole way." She told her.
"Do it again!" Carter called out.
Ardeth, who had caught the ball, studied the gerbil inside. "I think he threw up in there." He
announced.
"Oh, he's fine!" Benton assured him. "Toss me the ball."
"No, it's mine now!" Donovan cut in. "You already got to kick him twice. I only kicked him
once!"
Weaver groaned, covering her face.
Behind Cassi, another voice cut in. "Cassi, I wanna play with Carter now." Kekelina told her.
**Yes, another reader has made it into the party. Nice to meet you Kekelina. Hope you have
a good time. ^_^**
Cassi shrugged, and snapped her fingers, changing Kekelina five. "Have a ball!" She replied.
grinning.
"No, the ball's mine now!" Donovan retorted tossing it up briefly. He gave an evil grin and
drop-kicked it. The ball went flying across the room, bouncing off the wall, broke a glass
window, and knocked over a tray of equipment, before it was caught by a little green gold
dragon.
The gerbil in the ball was now dancing around, weirdly.
"Sparkles!" Emmy cried. "Hot foots!"
The dragon looked up, hearing his name, and flew up with the ball.
"SPARKLES!!!!" Mid called, running into the lobby. "Come BACK!!"
"Go, Sparkles, GO!!!" Becca added.
On the gurney, Carter had pulled Kekelina up and was now dancing with her.
Sven looked around the lobby that was now nothing even remotely resembling an ER. "I'm
bored." She stated. "Can we leave now?"
Cassi looked around. "Yeah....let's take Dor to see the surgeon's locker room....I bet they say
some really cool stuff in there." She suggested.
Julian grinned. "Count me in, too!" He remarked, and the four of them walked out of the room.
*************************************************************************
In the morgue, a newcomer had just arrived, bringing the most valuable news. According to
an Agent Alex Cross, both boys team leaders were in the main ER area, dancing and not even
paying attention to the game at hand. This left the boys' team very vulnerable, especially given
the fact that the girls had already discovered the base and organized an ambush.
Abby grinned. "Okay, people...think." She spoke up. "Who has not discovered their talents
yet?"
Lucy raised her hand, followed by Dawn, Nikki, and Susan.
Irene rased her hand. "Dawn, you have my talent." She spoke up. "It says you're playing me
in a future spoof."
Dawn's face brightened. "I can make things grow!" She exclaimed. "Irene and I can block off
the entrances with potted plants!"
"Snap Dragons are perfect for that." Irene proclaimed, grinning. "Let's get to work." With this,
she lead Dawn off to the background to find some pots.
Lucy raised her hand higher. "I was told mine is a magician class." She spoke up. "But they
didn't tell me what it was."
Abby frowned. "Okaaaay..." She thought a moment. "Why don't you just concentrate a
minute or two? If it's a Magician-class, it's gotta be an obvious one."
"Not really!" Irene called out. "Some of them hide themselves!"
Lucy looked disappointed. "Ohh, I hope it's not like Carter's." She muttered. "You can't even
say his out loud. However...." She brightened. "You CAN catch him pretty easy!"
"How easy?" Susan asked.
"As long as you don't mean to physically hurt him." Lucy answered.
Abby grinned evily. "Well that DOES leave a lot of open space." She mused.
"Can we set a trap that will not hurt Carter, and yet does not take us within six feet of Ardeth?"
Buffy asked.
Lucy frowned, thinking. As she did so, she eyed a gurney abscentmindedly. Before their eyes,
the gurney changed into a metal cage. "Oh....my....uh...guys? I think I got it!"
Irene grinned. "YES!!!!" She cried. "Transformation!"
Abby brightened. "It's the same as Ardeth's, only his is living things, and yours is inanimate!"
She informed her, then frowned. "But how close do you have to be?"
After a careful examination, they learned that Lucy's talent had the same restrictions as Ardeth's.
Susan frowned. "Weeell, all you have to do is make the cage BEFORE he changes you." She
remarked, thoughtfully.
"So I would have to sneak up on them." Lucy suggested. "I mean THEY don't know my talent."
"That's true." Abby agreed. "Okay, we're gonna have to do a showdown. We wait until after
the others break the hostages out, and then we show 'em who's BOSS!"
The others nodded in agreement.
*************************************************************************
Meanwhile, on the surgical floor, Cassi and Sven walked down the hallway with Julian and
Dor. The four of them, heading directly for the locker rooms.
In the middle of the hallway, they stopped as two small kids in green rounded the corner.
Cassi caught Romano before he ran right into her, and Sven followed suit with Elizabeth.
"Woah, where's the fire?" Cassi asked.
"This time?" Sven added.
"Now why do you assume we set something on fire again?" Romano demanded.
"I don't know. Call it a hunch." Dor answered.
Elizabeth gave him a Look. "We were almost caught by grown-ups." She explained.
Cassi frowned. "What grown-ups?" She asked. "I thought we got rid of all those."
As if on cue, Edson and Dorket rounded the corner.
"AAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sven and Cassi screamed, as they saw them. Then Sven and
Julian pulled out guns and shot them both.
The surgeons hit the floor, dead.
Romano and Lizzie stared at each other. "What was that for?!" Romano managed to get out.
"He LOOKED at me!" Sven and Cassi cried in unison.
Elizabeth burst out laughing.
Romano stood there, looking at them. "You know, only YOU people would shoot someone
for LOOKING at you!"
Cassi kneeled to look him in the eye. "We don't know what it is." She explained. "It's those..."
she shivered, "EYES! Those AWFUL BEADY EYES! When we first saw him..." She shivered
again, "He SCARED us!! Those evil creepy shmuck eyes!"
Romano was biting his lip. "Oookaay.....evil beady eyes." He mused. "Kind of like Xander?"
Sven shivered. "NO!!! EVILER!!!" She told him. "We can't even LOOK at his eyes! We have
to put SPOTS on his eyes when we shoot darts at him!"
Romano gave up any kind of control he had and burst out laughing, sliding down the wall.
Sven and Cassi exchanged a Wolvie glare. "He doesn't understand." Sven muttered.
"Ugh, I do." Julian retorted, eyeing the two dead men. "What a shmuck!"
"When he asked Lizzie out, I just shivered." Cassi confessed. "He was so....UGH!!! Creepy."
"He asked Lizzie out?!" Romano demanded.
"I KNEW you were jealous!" Elizabeth cried, triumphantly.
"OF THAT!?!?" Sven and Cassi exclaimed. "UGHHHHHH!!!!!"
"EWWWW, I'd rather kiss a ZOMBIE!" Sven spat out.
"Seriously, he doesn't even hold a candle to Rob there." Cassi informed them. "At least ROB
don't have evil beady eyes!"
Romano grinned, proudly. "Nope, I ain't jealous of him at all!" He stated.
Sven grinned. "Dor?"
"Yeah?" Dor responded, looking at the dead guys.
"Phone." Sven ordered.
Dor pulled out a phone and handed it to her.
Sven smiled as she punched out a number.
Romano and Elizabeth frowned, curiously.
"Steve?" Sven spoke into the phone. "Yeah, can you come up to surgical? We need you to
do something for us." She listened for a second. "He's on his way." She announced, hanging
up.
"Tell me you're not going to have him ATE." Elizabeth spoke up.
Cassi made a face. "Ewww, indigestion special." She muttered. "You've GOT to be kidding."
The group waited a few minutes, and heard the elevator ding. Down the hallway, they heard the
sound of Jacey shrieking.
"Uh, hey excuse me, miss." Steve's voice cut in. "I was called up here on a security matter?"
The next noise they heard was a thud. At the surgical desk, Steve looked over the counter and
down at her. "Hey, thanks for NOTHING!" He snapped. "Cassi? Sven?" He sniffed. "Oh,
okay, there you are!"
They grinned as he approached.
Steve looked down at the bodies on the floor. "Ugh, who's the shmuck?" He asked, making
a face.
Sven grinned wider. "We couldn't fit Bill in the hallway." She announced. "Can you take care
of it?"
Steve gave a toothy grin. "Yeah, sure." He calmly hiked his leg, and drenched the pair of
surgeons.
"Thankyou." The Authors told him, gratefully.
"No problem." Steve answered, heading back for the elevator. "You have a human female
asleep behind the desk, by the way." He called out as the elevator closed.

end part 26 hehehe...did we mention we didn't like Shmuck and Edson? ^_^ More to come...as
the final showdown of the cooties war approaches as well as Romano and Corday's surprise....
and as all good things must come to an end, Romano and Lizzie will be growing up soon.
So do we have any volunteers to bring back the shmuck? **waits a second** I didn't think so.
We'll have him and Edson brought back......but we're NOT giving them baths first! We draw the
line there.
Leave us your reviews, and we'll get the next chap out soon!
~Cassi & Sven

More notes.... ^_^ Don't you love this? Deb! Got your email...you replied fast...we've got
great plans for "Dorket-shmuck" and Babcock. About that Fast Eddie. Is his name spelled
Dorset, Dorcet, or with a double "t"? Not that it matters to us, we call him Dr. Shmuck. Did that

**Calvin and Hobbes...if you've never seen some of his disgusted faces, we pity you.**
The two watched the jerks talk a few minutes.
"What do ya think they'd say if they knew it was you who torched the OR?" Romano asked
suddenly.

"I think Edson might think before he tried to annoy me again." She answered, honestly.

"You laughed." He told her. "If you had kept your mouth shut, we could have dropped some

************************************************************************
In the lobby of the ER, the party had not stopped. Carter was now dancing on a gurney in the
middle of the room with Ardeth watching from the floor. Weaver was groaning, and shaking her
head. Anspaugh was swallowing more headache pills, and Frank Donovan had started a soccer
game in the middle of the lobby. He was playing with Monica, Sven, Cassi, Benton, and a new
comer....Deb! **welcome to the party!--Deb is a friend of ours who has read every spoof we've
ever put out, and loved them all**
Anspaugh shook his head in disgust. (This was because the ball we were using was Babcock)
"We want boingy BACK!!!!" Pounce yelled.
"GOAL!" Benton cried, triumphantly.
"I don't believe I'm seeing this." Connie remarked, staring.
"That's disgusting." Weaver added. "I can't believe Peter is going along with this."
Sandy shrugged, not commenting....most likely to avoid sleeping on the couch.
"My turn!" Deb cried, giving Babcock a strong kick. The ball flew upwards, bouncing off the
ceiling, and just missing Carter's head as it came back down.
Cassi grinned. "Nice shot, Deb. He squeaked the whole way." She told her.
"Do it again!" Carter called out.
Ardeth, who had caught the ball, studied the gerbil inside. "I think he threw up in there." He
announced.
"Oh, he's fine!" Benton assured him. "Toss me the ball."
"No, it's mine now!" Donovan cut in. "You already got to kick him twice. I only kicked him
once!"
Weaver groaned, covering her face.
Behind Cassi, another voice cut in. "Cassi, I wanna play with Carter now." Kekelina told her.
**Yes, another reader has made it into the party. Nice to meet you Kekelina. Hope you have
a good time. ^_^**
Cassi shrugged, and snapped her fingers, changing Kekelina five. "Have a ball!" She replied.
grinning.
"No, the ball's mine now!" Donovan retorted tossing it up briefly. He gave an evil grin and
drop-kicked it. The ball went flying across the room, bouncing off the wall, broke a glass
window, and knocked over a tray of equipment, before it was caught by a little green gold
dragon.
The gerbil in the ball was now dancing around, weirdly.
"Sparkles!" Emmy cried. "Hot foots!"
The dragon looked up, hearing his name, and flew up with the ball.
"SPARKLES!!!!" Mid called, running into the lobby. "Come BACK!!"
"Go, Sparkles, GO!!!" Becca added.
On the gurney, Carter had pulled Kekelina up and was now dancing with her.
Sven looked around the lobby that was now nothing even remotely resembling an ER. "I'm
bored." She stated. "Can we leave now?"
Cassi looked around. "Yeah....let's take Dor to see the surgeon's locker room....I bet they say
some really cool stuff in there." She suggested.
Julian grinned. "Count me in, too!" He remarked, and the four of them walked out of the room.

"That's true." Abby agreed. "Okay, we're gonna have to do a showdown. We wait until after
the others break the hostages out, and then we show 'em who's BOSS!"
The others nodded in agreement.
*************************************************************************
Meanwhile, on the surgical floor, Cassi and Sven walked down the hallway with Julian and
Dor. The four of them, heading directly for the locker rooms.
In the middle of the hallway, they stopped as two small kids in green rounded the corner.
Cassi caught Romano before he ran right into her, and Sven followed suit with Elizabeth.
"Woah, where's the fire?" Cassi asked.
"This time?" Sven added.
"Now why do you assume we set something on fire again?" Romano demanded.
"I don't know. Call it a hunch." Dor answered.
Elizabeth gave him a Look. "We were almost caught by grown-ups." She explained.
Cassi frowned. "What grown-ups?" She asked. "I thought we got rid of all those."
As if on cue, Edson and Dorket rounded the corner.
"AAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sven and Cassi screamed, as they saw them. Then Sven and
Julian pulled out guns and shot them both.
The surgeons hit the floor, dead.
Romano and Lizzie stared at each other. "What was that for?!" Romano managed to get out.
"He LOOKED at me!" Sven and Cassi cried in unison.
Elizabeth burst out laughing.
Romano stood there, looking at them. "You know, only YOU people would shoot someone
for LOOKING at you!"
Cassi kneeled to look him in the eye. "We don't know what it is." She explained. "It's those..."
she shivered, "EYES! Those AWFUL BEADY EYES! When we first saw him..." She shivered
again, "He SCARED us!! Those evil creepy shmuck eyes!"
Romano was biting his lip. "Oookaay.....evil beady eyes." He mused. "Kind of like Xander?"
Sven shivered. "NO!!! EVILER!!!" She told him. "We can't even LOOK at his eyes! We have
to put SPOTS on his eyes when we shoot darts at him!"
Romano gave up any kind of control he had and burst out laughing, sliding down the wall.
Sven and Cassi exchanged a Wolvie glare. "He doesn't understand." Sven muttered.
"Ugh, I do." Julian retorted, eyeing the two dead men. "What a shmuck!"
"When he asked Lizzie out, I just shivered." Cassi confessed. "He was so....UGH!!! Creepy."
"He asked Lizzie out?!" Romano demanded.
"I KNEW you were jealous!" Elizabeth cried, triumphantly.
"OF THAT!?!?" Sven and Cassi exclaimed. "UGHHHHHH!!!!!"
"EWWWW, I'd rather kiss a ZOMBIE!" Sven spat out.
"Seriously, he doesn't even hold a candle to Rob there." Cassi informed them. "At least ROB
don't have evil beady eyes!"
Romano grinned, proudly. "Nope, I ain't jealous of him at all!" He stated.
Sven grinned. "Dor?"
"Yeah?" Dor responded, looking at the dead guys.
"Phone." Sven ordered.
Dor pulled out a phone and handed it to her.
Sven smiled as she punched out a number.
Romano and Elizabeth frowned, curiously.
"Steve?" Sven spoke into the phone. "Yeah, can you come up to surgical? We need you to
do something for us." She listened for a second. "He's on his way." She announced, hanging
up.
"Tell me you're not going to have him ATE." Elizabeth spoke up.
Cassi made a face. "Ewww, indigestion special." She muttered. "You've GOT to be kidding."
The group waited a few minutes, and heard the elevator ding. Down the hallway, they heard the
sound of Jacey shrieking.
"Uh, hey excuse me, miss." Steve's voice cut in. "I was called up here on a security matter?"
The next noise they heard was a thud. At the surgical desk, Steve looked over the counter and
down at her. "Hey, thanks for NOTHING!" He snapped. "Cassi? Sven?" He sniffed. "Oh,
okay, there you are!"
They grinned as he approached.
Steve looked down at the bodies on the floor. "Ugh, who's the shmuck?" He asked, making
a face.
Sven grinned wider. "We couldn't fit Bill in the hallway." She announced. "Can you take care
of it?"
Steve gave a toothy grin. "Yeah, sure." He calmly hiked his leg, and drenched the pair of
surgeons.
"Thankyou." The Authors told him, gratefully.
"No problem." Steve answered, heading back for the elevator. "You have a human female
asleep behind the desk, by the way." He called out as the elevator closed.
