Okay, we're now at part 12....after a very loooong break that included us reading a lot of
Pirates of the Caribbean fics....and watching Captain Jack Sparrow lots of times....and Sven's
currently reading the book even as we speak......what?! We're STUDYING him! For obvious
reasons.....he's an Assistant, and we just gave him one major Magician class talent. Ummm...
oh yeah, and we're doing Youth Elixir take TWO at Port Royal! So for those of you who
LOVED the five year olds, we're not done yet. Soon to come will be (after Jeffery) "Pirates
of the Caribbean: Youth Elixir Part Two: The Evilauthors VS Port Royal and the Black
Pearl." No, the title will not be this long but this is pretty much all of it. We're gonna have
a big party....mainly because we "forgot" to wipe Jack Sparrow's mind. Now....if you're even
remotely curious of his magic talent....well....you'll have to wait and see. He'll be in the next
section of Chameleon. You'll be introduced to him as...."the Freaky One".
Anyhow.....not sure whether he'll be in this story or not. This is way ahead of Chameleon,
so in all reality, he's already Sven's Assistant by this time....and over all, we're not really
sure we want this man around when they're playing a certain game.....*evil grin* mostly
because we don't want him to know what that game can do.....trust me, this will NOT be
the last time that game is played in one of our fics, and we're saving Jack's exposure to it
for a later time.....if you catch my point.

So for the moment, I guess we were at......Chen busted them in the pool.....where they really
did have to go....they couldn't really leave the dice in the pool, could they? Don't ask why
they just couldn't have let someone in the pool get it for them...we like to be difficult. Right,
back to the story then. Sven ain't too nice when characters try to order her around.
**********************************************************************

CHAPTER TWELVE: "WHERE OH WHERE DID THE PLOT GO?"
*****************************************************

In the pool, the game players were looking guilty as Chen glared at them....all of them, that
is, with the exception of Sven, who was glaring.

Cassi shook her head. "Chen's in trouble." She whispered to Elizabeth. "Sven likes to be
boss. They're not supposed to tell her what to do."

Elizabeth nodded. "So I see."

"You PROMISED you wouldn't go in the pool!" Chen cried.

"Well, the DICE was in the pool!" Dave argued. "We HAD to get it!"

Chen rolled her eyes. "And all of you had to dive in after it?" She remarked flatly.

"Yeah, that's pretty much the story." Carter answered, looking innocent. "However, since
you're out there, you can get the other dice from under that ambulance over there?"

"There was only ONE in the POOL!?" Chen exclaimed. "I don't believe this! Get out of the
pool and get in here so we can finish the game!"

Sven's glare deepened. "Excuse me, but what is your job on our set?" She asked,
dangerously quiet.

Chen, realizing she might be in trouble, remained silent.

"She's in the medical crew." Ardeth called out.

"That's correct." Sven replied. "You're not an Assistant, and you're not a favorite.....so
what right does that give you to tell ME what to do?!"

"I do remember you saying nobody was going in the pool." Chen answered after a pause.

"I had my fingers crossed." Sven informed her. "Besides, like he said, the dice was in the
pool.....and stop avoiding the question! What gives you the right to boss me around?"

Chen stood quietly for a second, then turned and walked back in the building. "Dave,
you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight." She called over her shoulder.

Romano snickered loudly, from where he was seated by Burt.

"Oh, come on!" Carter complained. "Why didn't you change her into a stink beetle?"

Sven gave him a Look. "Because they stink." She answered as if it were obvious.

Cassi grinned. "Besides, there are lots of other things that would be more fun to change
her into." She replied.

"She is, however, correct." Ardeth admitted. "We need to complete the game."

Pippin nodded. "I suppose so." He put in. "Those animals must be causing a lot of
problems and that Jason just let Eck out."

Sven rolled her eyes. "True, but as soon as the Game is over, all the people that Eck or
anyone ate or killed, will all be brought back." She retorted, matter of factly.

Pippin nodded again. "That's also true." He agreed.

"Not to put down the party, but exactly what about all the spiders that got out?" James
Atherton cut in.

Cassi shrugged. "We snap our fingers and they all die?" She suggested, shrugging.

Romano glared. "You could have done that at the BEGINNING of this, you know."
He spat out.

Cassi grinned. "Well, yeah.....but where's the fun in that?" She pointed out.

Susan gave a small smile. "If she had done that, we'd all be working right now and not
partying in the Ambulance Bay." She spoke up, plopping down in a lounge chair.

"Oh yeah, this is way better." Kovac added. "How often do you get to go swimming when
you're supposed to be working?"

"Besides, what are you complaining about?" Burt remarked, with a snicker. "You've been
watching Corday in that outfit for the last couple hours. How often do you get to do that?"

Romano gave a nod. "Beside the point." He defended. "I don't mind the party. It's the
multiple spider bite victims we'll get after this is over."

Cassi sighed. "Don't worry about it." She assured him. "We'll take care of the spiders. Just
sit back and enjoy the party."

Behind Cassi, Dave jumped out of the pool, and headed for the building. "I better go see if
Jing Mei's alright." He murmured.

"Yeah, grab the other dice while you're at it." Carter called out. "Ardeth has to roll when
we get in there."

Dave nodded, grabbing the dice from under the ambulance, and rushing inside what was
left of the hospital.

Cassi jumped out of the pool and walked over to where Romano was seated with Burt. "So
how've you guys been?" She asked, sitting down and wrapping up in a towel.

"Nothing going on." Burt answered, cleaning his gun....again.

"Just talking about redheads." Romano added.

Cassi nodded. "Ah, yeah..." She paused. "I used to be a redhead."

Romano turned to look at her, in surprise. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah." Cassi answered. "I was born auburn and, later it was strawberry blonde......then
I dyed it dark red, then it was blonde, then black, and then I finally decided I liked black and
white. You mean you can't see the red streaks when the black gets faded?"

Romano frowned, leaned over and examined the black parts of Cassi's hair, noticing it was
indeed streaked red. He shook his head. "So you're really a redhead." He mused. "I
should have known."

Cassi pulled out her mirror and looked at her hair. "Ugh, I think it needs to be dyed again."
She muttered. "The white part's growing out." She continued looking. "And it needs to
be cut again."

"Who cuts it?" Burt asked.

"Me." Cassi informed him. "I'm the only one I trust to get it right."

"Impressive." Romano remarked. **For information sake, Cassi's hair is short on the sides
and top and long in back. Very much an 80's look.** "So...." He spoke up, changing the
subject. "When you finish torturing us here this breaktime, what are you doing next?"

Cassi shrugged. "Don't know." She answered. "We'll figure it out as we go, I guess.
We really have a bunch of people we'd love to torture.....Burt....Earl...." She grinned. "Jack..."

Romano frowned. "Cas....you DO realize how many Jacks we've had around here, right?"
He remarked.

Burt frowned. "You mean the Jack who was in Perfection?" He asked, confused.

Cassi shook her head. "Nah, other Jack."

Romano gave an evil grin. "Spades, Hearts, Clubs, or Diamonds?" He quipped.

Cassi frowned. "Well, hearts IS the best looking....at least in the good decks....however, this
Jack has both eyes." **Cassi collects playing cards. Hoyle brands normally have cute
Jacks.**

Burt shook his head, laughing. "I assume you mean Jack as in 'The Freaky One?'" He
smirked.

Cassi laughed. "That's the one." She told them. "That movie's pretty good and we've got
plans to spoof it......with Ardeth."

Romano nodded. "Ardeth makes a good pirate." He agreed. "When were you planning to
do it?"

"Not for a long while." Cassi answered. "We can't until it comes to video."

Romano shrugged. "The way you guys go with writting spoofs, that should be about the
end of Jurassic III."

Cassi shot him a Look. "Are you insinuating that it will take six months to finish Jurassic?"
She remarked.

Romano gave an innocent look. "No." He answered, honestly. "Frankly, I think you'll
be LUCKY to have it finished by then. The way you're going, I was figuring about......
March.....2006."

Cassi gave him a flat look. "Rob?"

"Yeah?" He responded.

"I'm going to throw you in the pool if you don't take that back." Cassi warned.

Romano sighed. "Okay fine, I take it back." He answered, then paused. "Make it September
2006."

Cassi ran her tongue over her teeth in a perfect immatation of Romano. "Dot?" She spoke
up.

"No problem." Dot Warner spoke up from behind them, and snapped her fingers, dumping
a bucket of water over Romano's head, soaking his scrubs, and splashing both Burt and
Cassi, who were seated close to him.

Burt jumped up. "HEY!" He exclaimed, shaking the water off his hair and his gun. "I had
nothing to do with that!"

Cassi grinned. "Next offense you're going into the pool with all your clothes on." She
informed the soaked Assistant.

Romano sighed again and gave Cassi an evil look. "That wasn't called for." He remarked.
"You soaked your book." He held up the Forbidden Game book.

Cassi raised an eyebrow and snapped her fingers, causing the book to instantly dry.
"Problem solved." She proclaimed.

"Way to go, Cassi." Shirley called from the pool, applauding.

"Do it again!" Elizabeth cried, laughing. "I want it on camera!"

"Already done." Murdoc called from across the pool. "Langly had cameras out here long
ago."

Elizabeth frowned a moment, then brightened. "Do it again ANYWAY!" She yelled. "Not
everyone saw it the first time."

Romano shook his head. "Traitor." He muttered under his breath.

Cassi snickered. "Oh please. You thought it was funny." She retorted, bluntly. "I can see
that smile from here. You're laughing."

"Are you going to dry the bandage now?" Romano asked, holding up his arm, from the
sling.

Cassi eyed it. "What did you do again?" She questioned. "Was this the gurney or another
one?"

"It was the gurney." He answered, quietly.

Cassi nodded. "Right." She replied, snapping her fingers, drying it out. "Sorry......but you
really did have it coming."

"I think I need a towel." Burt suddenly spoke up, standing.

Romano rolled his eyes. "It was only a few drops!" He spat out. "Give me a break."

Burt gave him a serious look. "Not for ME!" He remarked, matter of factly. "For the GUN!"

Cassi and Romano watched him walk off toward the towels, where he had stopped to talk
with Earl, Roland, and Dundee, while he dried his gun.

"That man needs help." Romano remarked, watching.

Cassi nodded. "Yeah, I guess so." She agreed. "I think he needs his wife back."

Romano watched the man dry his gun, lovingly. "Oh yeah, I would say most definitely
does he need a woman in the picture."

Cassi bit her lip. "Okay, I didn't mean it quite like that, but I suppose you have a point."
She paused, considering it. "Then again, Heather was just like him.....weird really."

"So.....when exactly am I supposed to lose the whole arm?" Romano asked, still watching
Burt play with the gun.

Cassi turned to look at him. "You'll know when it happens." She answered after a minute.
"Within the next month or two I would figure. There was a few too many problems with it."

Romano nodded. "So what will you do if I decide to stay here?" He asked.

Cassi shook her head. "You really are the stubborn type, aren't you?" She commented.

"Yeah, but that's part of my charm." He replied with a smirk. "Admit it, you like it."

"I like it." Cassi replied, shaking her head.

"So?" Romano spoke up after another pause.

Cassi shrugged. "I suppose we'll have to talk to Luke Skywalker." She remarked. "Shouldn't
be too hard to do. But whatever Luke does, you can't take back here with you."

Romano nodded. "Yeah, I kind of figured that." He answered.

Cassi sat for a minute. "Rob?"

"Yeah?" He asked, turning.

"I'm bored." Cassi informed him.

"AGAIN!?" Romano exclaimed. "What, do you have ADD or something?!"

"Yeah, actually." Cassi answered as if it were obvious. "You mean you never noticed?
Duh."

"So what do you wanna do?" Romano asked, with a sigh.

"I don't know, what do you wanna do?" Cassi answered, with a grin.

"Oy, here we go again." Romano muttered.

In the pool, Ardeth, Carter, Sven, and Pippin had finally decided it was time to get out and
return to the game. The four helped each other out of the pool, Sven changing her clothes
once again, with the snap of a finger, and handing the dice over to Ardeth.

"I wonder what will come out of the game next." Pippin mused.

"I wonder when this thing will be finished." Carter added, then frowned for a moment. "Hey,
wait, don't we still have that Van Pelt guy in the spoofset freezer?"

Sven thought a minute. "Um, yeah, I think so." She answered.

Ardeth shrugged. "Well, I guess he won't be coming out of the game then." He replied.
"I wonder what will come in his place."

"You really want to know?" Carter retorted. "There's lots of things in there."

Ardeth nodded. "Sounds like fun." He quipped.

"Right." Pippin announced, bouncing behind them. "LOTS of fun!"

The group entered the building, headed for the rest of the game players, and whatever
Ardeth's roll would bring.......
