Dragonblond: Thanks for the four-one-one! Hmm.I didn't get her very stubborn this chapter.I'll try to do better next time.

Dragonet: I agree.

"Where are we going again?" Ryo yelled, trying to keep up with the fast moving Danny.

"We're going to cut off her supplies!"

"What?!"

"We're going to the hood house!"

"Are you insane?"

Danny turned all the way around to look her in the eye. Ryo stared.

"Sorry. Stupid question."

Danny turned around and kept walking. Ryo started wondering why she was even following the animal-happy empathic lunatic.

Somewhere in author land, Ryo is trying to escape. But everybody knows that you can check out, but you can never leave. The Eagles rock. No one can say they don't like the song Hotel California. But that's beside the point, neh?

The other feeler!

"I know! Let's sing Cumbaya!" As usual, Carni was her happy self. She managed to get all the people in the institute, sans a certain gunslinger and two girls that were trying to save the brotherhood from a fate worse than death, into a circle of 'well-being and love.'

Yuck.

"I'll do anything for you, beautiful Carni." Scott whispered. All the other guys, even the professor, agreed. Which actually kinda freaks me out. How old is the Professor? He's practically fifty years old. You'd think he woulda found somebody by now. But if he did, that would kind of ruin the whole 'lonely telepath' shtick he's been using.

But I digress.

The girls agreed as well. To the Cumbaya..thing, not doing anything for her. But that is expected. Err.the not doing anything for her part. Personally, I do not expect Rogue to start singing Cumbaya and holding hands with Jean. That...is a disturbing thought. I have to go clean my brain with Clorox now.

"Cumbaya! Cumbaya!" They all started singing. And now I shall switch to

The other Ear!

Danny banged on the door of brotherhood house. Lance opened it and stared at her.

"What are you doing here?"

"Saving you life."

"What?"

"There is an evil force in Bayville! My friend Ryo and I are trying to stop it, but it's coming for you!"

Lance looked at Ryo. She held up her hands.

"I barely met her. But I think you better do as she says, she already put Bayville zoo in flames."

"I thought she wasn't supposed to-oh. Wanda said something about that..okay, Danny, we're going." He said that last bit in a very placating voice.

"Good! Now I have to go see Magneto!" Danny started walking off in another direction.

"Danny?"

"What?"

"You're going the wrong way. It's in the opposite direction."

"Thanks Lance!" She did an about face and started walking the other way.

Lance looked at Ryo, who looked like she was going to ask if she could stay with them.

"Have fun following Doolittle." So much for that. Ryo sighed and followed the empath, who was humming army marching tunes under her breath.

Arcane, who after his recent bout of bad luck, the whole getting-locked-in- a-closet-after-getting-slapped-and-before-falling-off-the-roof thing, was paranoid. Who wouldn't be? He fell off a roof and got slapped before he got locked in a closet. That's bound to freak anyone out. And he was currently the object of undying love from a girl who just didn't know the meaning of 'get the hell away from me you evil monster.' And then there was Danny, who was ignoring him and who had now disappeared. And seeming that it was either go home and be attacked by an evil creature who professes love, or go out searching for an empathic girl on warpath. Obviously, he picked the less beautiful, less popular, insane one with brown hair dragging some other poor girl around to help her.

Yeah, I'd pick that one too.

I have to admit something. I did not expect to have so many reviews. And I am most pleased.

Now, if you'll look real hard in this happy little story, you'll see a character that isn't mine. Ryo belongs to Dragonblond. And, if you have a character you'd like to toss in in the fight against the evil mary-sue, feel free. If not, well that's cool too. But if you have some sort of suggestion for me, or compliments, or something else, please, don't hesitate to leave a review.
