*sings* Review daaaance…dance for revieeeews! *dances*

Search4Truth: Sure you can be a Truce Fairy!  And you're welcome for Minister's Cat; my randomness actually helped someone out, wh00t!  Aaaaawwwww…you lost your twin? *radiates sympathy* Birth twin or an 'I am obsessed with the Twins and so is my friend so how about we be Twins' twin like my friends are? Yes, I am very curious about the superhuman cheese bit, and I don't mind long stories (they give me something to do when I'm bored in class). ^_^

Agent Josey: Thankies!  Ah, yes, the confusion reigns and poor Smithy is the most confused of all. *evil grin*

Bloodredcherry: Hmmm…so I'm not missing anything.  That's good! Oh yes, I love the *pose* too.  That was the funnest chapter ever to write. And yes, the hamsters are pretty darned talented for hamsters. Perhaps they are Sci-Fi Hamsters. 

Alocin: Yes, I did notice that she wasn't. Megami no Inazumi (and me)  finds it interesting that you think of Clara, who is based on Megami, as Girl #2.  Interesting in a good way though.  Oooooooo!  Chocolate!  Sugar!  Time to go insanely hyper!  Meeheeheehee!!!   

Sentinelsquiddie: *arches eyebrow* Weirdo? Veeeeery original, my young lemming; your wit capacity is simply astounding. Of course I wrote it myself!  What do you take me for? And I'm not a kid; calling me that is about as dangerous as jumping into a shark tank when you are covered in blood. But since you are a lemming and therefore do not understand 'The Law Of Unspoken Rules', you will be let off with a dire warning and a loud snarl from alter-ego Neko.  As for your sister; I am beginning to feel sorry for her, plus it is another unspoken rule that I do not aid any of the male species in the art of understanding girls.  Figure it out yourself. PS: Learn how to spell!

Last time, we had lots of fun, didn't we kids?  We humiliated and scarred Smelrond, and we retrieved the NetherCube! *and there was much rejoicing* And we even got a new character! *and there was even more much rejoicing*  But when at last they were away from Smelrond, Clara put into words the most interesting dilemma of how the heck they were going to get Girl, Two, and Switch out of the NetherCube.  And now for Chapter 13, brought to you by Monty Python and the Holy Grail; "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

Chapter 13: The Guy Who Makes Keys

And so we find ourselves back inside the NetherCube once more, where the trapped threesome are pondering over why Smelrond hasn't been bothering them for a while.

Two: Maybe he dropped us.

Switch: Maybe he got destroyed.

Girl: Maybe he got utterly scarred and humiliated when an Agent and a Rebel came waltzing in waving lightsabers and fairy princess sparkle star wands accompanied by flying hamsters and they called themselves the Truce Fairies and initiated Smelrond and danced him around the room to the tune of Yellow Submarine!

Two and Switch: What?

Girl: Oh, nothing.  Just something I came up with off the top of my head.

Suddenly, One's voice appeared in the NetherCube.

One (singsong-chanting): We rescued us!  We rescued us!

Two: Us!

One: Us!

Both: We found us! *mental hug*

Girl: Aaaaawwwww…how kawaii!  No more mental angst!

Two: How did we manage to rescue us?

One: *describes in detail the insanity that occurred in Chapter 12*

Girl: *begins jumping up and down and pointing wildly* Hah!  Haha!  Hah!  I was right!  I was right!

Meanwhile, outside the NetherCube…

One (suddenly bursting out): Us!  We found us!

Trinity: Yes, yes, we know.

One: No, we really found us!  We can hear us again!

Trinity: You can?  I thought only Smith could do that.

Clara: Apparently not.  Ask them if they know how to get them out.

Mouse: How would they know that?

Clara: Smith would have told them.

Mouse: Oh, come on.  Not even he's that stupid.

Clara: You would think so, wouldn't you?  Ask them, One.

One: Okay. *asks Two if he knows* Yes, we do know.  Smith was apparently bragging quite a bit.

Clara: Told you.  How do we get them out?

One: A special key that only Smith has.

Mouse: Okay, I am not doing that Truce Fairy thing again!

One: You don't have to.  We can just make another key.

Mouse: How?

One: The Keymaker.

Later at the Merovingian's Mansion (again)…

One: *rings doorbell*

Merovingian: *opens door* Ah, you are back.  Waz ze mission successful?

One: We found us!

Merovingian: Zat would be a yes.  Where iz ze girl und ze ozer Twin?

One: We're still inside here, sir.  We need to borrow the Keymaker for a second to get us out.

Merovingian: Fine, but ze Rebels must wait in ze lobby.

Trinity: Fine, juzt so long az zey get out.

One and Clara take the NetherCube down the dank, dark, nasty passage into the Keymaker's cell.

Keymaker: Now what?  Can't you people just leave me in peace?

One: We need you to make a special key to open this cube.

Keymaker: Why?  Just for your petty amusement?

One: Because we're inside and we need to get us out.

Keymaker: Oh.  Well, give it here, then.

One: But…we don't want to lose us again…can't you just make the key while we're still holding it?

Keymaker: No.  Give it here.

One: But…

Clara: Just give it to him, and I'll be your emotional support.

One: But what about our emotional support?

Clara: There's two other people in there, just tell one of them to be his emotional support.

Keymaker: This is only going to take five minutes!  Why on earth do they need emotional support for five bloody minutes?

Clara: You wouldn't get it if I told you, just hang on a moment.

Inside the NetherCube…

DVO (Disembodied Voice of One): Us, we have to give the NetherCube to the Keymaker.

Two: Why can't he make the key while we're holding the Cube?

DVO: We don't know, but he said he couldn't.  Clara is being our emotional support.

Two: But we need emotional support too!

Girl: I'll be your emotional support!

Two: Okay.  We can give it to him now. *shuts eyes*

One: Okay.  Goodbye…for five minutes, then we can get out. *shuts eyes*

But then, because his eyes were closed, One missed the Keymaker's hand and accidentally dropped the NetherCube on the floor.  This cut everyone in it off from the real world entirely.  You can imagine how that went over.

Two: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Girl: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Switch: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Two: WE NEED EMOTIONAL SUPPORT!!!

Girl: ME TOO!!!

Switch: ME THREE!!!

All: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Then, the Keymaker picked the NetherCube up, restoring the tiny, fragile link to the real world.

Keymaker: Are all of you okay in there?

Girl: NO DAMMIT!!!  WE JUST GOT COMPLETELY CUT OFF FROM THE REAL WORLD, DID YOU THINK WE WERE JUMPING FOR JOY???

Keymaker: I meant the fact that you were just dropped on the floor.

Switch: So that's what happened.

Keymaker: This is such an interesting device…I could study it for years and still fail to unlock all of its secrets…

Two: GET US OUT FIRST BEFORE WE GO INSANE!!!

Girl: Oh, right!  Emotional support! *stands next to Two and radiates emotional support-ness*

And so the Keymaker spent 4 minutes looking at the NetherCube's program over, then spent one minute making the key.  He opened the Cube, and out came Switch, Two, and Girl.

One: US!!!

Two: US!!!

Both: WE FOUND US!!!

Clara and Girl: Aaaaawwwww…

Keymaker: It worked!

Switch: What do you mean, 'it worked'?  You mean you didn't know?!

Keymaker: Well, making special keys is not an exact science…

Girl: Oh, so you're the guy who makes keys.

Keymaker: I prefer The Keymaker.

Girl: Same bloody thing.

Keymaker: Rawr.

One: Why don't we go upstairs.

Two: We think we will go with us.

One: We have to tell us all about what happened when we were gone.

Two: Then we have to tell us all of the interesting stuff we learned about Smelrond.

Both: Let's go, then. *walk upstairs*

Girl, Clara, and Switch: Wait for us! *run after them*

Keymaker (smiling to himself): If there's one good thing about living down here in a dank, dark, smelly cell filled with keys, it's that people never stay and bother you for very long. *goes back to working on his keys* My…Preciousssssssesssssss…

A/N: I just could not resist putting that little Gollum reference in there.  And I'm sorry to say it, but this little series is drawing to a close.  Yes, we are all very sad, I know.
