A/N: A million apologies everyone, but what can I say? School started and I have like 3 hours of homework every night. Plus, I'm still holding down two jobs. I know that this chapter is short and it sucks, but I'm almost done with the story, so get off my case. Oh and another reason it took so long was that I couldn't think of a way to end the Disease, but now I have an idea, as lame as it may be. ANYWAY.enjoy! And remember to R&R!!!

Chapter 7: The Stalling

The doctor sat on the floor in the middle of the hall. He was huddled in the fetal position, rocking back and forth while inaudibly mumbling something about the crab people.

"Crab people..crab people..taste like crab, talk like people.." He muttered.

The computer reached out a mechanical hand and slapped the doctor.

"Get a hold of yourself, you pussy! If you don't get off your lazy, half crazy ass and save this ship, then no one will!"

"Why can't you do it?" the doctor asked.

"I, well, err, I have to wash my hair tonight."

"You don't have hair. You're a computer."

"Yeah, well neither do you. Ha! Look at you! You're bald! Who's laughing now?"

"If I try again, will you shut up?" asked the doctor.

"Sure I will, BALDO! Ha ha haha!"

"Whatever."

So the doctor walked back into the bridge. He sat down in the captain's chair in long, hard thought. He just didn't know what to do (I don't either, so I'm just going to waste some more time with pointless dialogue until I figure something out).

"I know! What if I made a formula to turn all the divas back into crewmen? It's so crazy it just might work."

"No it won't," replied the computer.

"And how exactly do you know that?"

"Because you already tried it.and it didn't work."

"Oh yeah."

The doctor sat down again, because he had stood up when he thought he had an idea. (Of course I mentioned that before.) He sat for a couple of minutes, then changed position. He remained stoic for a while until something came to him.

"Something's come to me."

"Do you have an idea?" asked the computer.

"I do have an idea."

"What is it?"

I have the answer, and it was very simple and I should have seen it before."

"What is it?" asked the computer once more.

"I should have realized it from the very beginning. It was so very obvious."

'WHAT IS IT???"

The doctor mumbled something under his breath.

"What was that?" asked the computer.

"I said there is no cure."

"What do you mean? There has to be a cure! It just can't end like this!"

Or can it????? Stay tuned...
