Note: HOW DARE YOU REPORT ME!!! I just got through getting yet another one of my fics deleted and you have the audacity to report and get this one trashed too!?! Now because of the way this stupid site handles underlines, I can't do my faces right! I gotta use freakin' dots instead of lines! I refuse to allow this fic to get deleted under any circumstances! Even if I have to use a million accounts, this and all my other fics will be posted and enjoyed by the world!!!
And why was this one deleted, you ask? Because of that utterly ridiculous "no chat format" rule! It's idiotic! Why is it that this rule is being enforced NOW, when it's been mentioned on the front page at least a million times before?! Well, you know what? My intro and the pre and post chapter discussions are still going to be here! Yeah, that's right! I found a way around your stupid rule! The intro and the pre and post chapter conversations will be done in DIALOG format! So now I won't be breaking any rules! Now what, huh?!?
Man. And I thought this area of the site had forgiving, understanding people. No such luck. It seems that you're all as uptight as those fools in the Sonic the Hedgehog section. Ok… I guess I shouldn't say all of you. But whoever reported me certainly is. And if you're gonna report me, at least give me a fair warning and tell me what I did wrong instead of just doing it out of nowhere. We didn't have to get the authorities involved. I probably could've changed some things. I shouldn't have to wake up on a Saturday morning to find that something I've worked so hard on was deleted just like that. Now that I've said my peace, you may enjoy the fic.
Disclaimer: Nothing that is copyrighted belongs to me. Only myself & my fan character(s). This goes for the whole fic. And if by some weird twist of fate, this fic breaks any of this site's childish and unfair rules, please do the courteous thing and tell me in a review what I did wrong. If it doesn't ruin the artistic quality of the fic, I'll fix it. At least give me a chance to fix it before reporting me.

Intro: Who's the Star?
The camera turned on in the Shore Shack in the Rocket Power Dimension. Our author and his assistant were sitting at the counter. Sitting at the nearby tables were Reggie, Twister, and Sam, as well as several extras. Prince Izzy, the author and dimension-hopper, turned to Ray, who was standing behind the counter. The "prince" stands at about six feet tall. He's eighteen. He has a small amount of black hair and tanned skin. In order to play the role of an actual prince, he wears a purple cape and a modest-sized gold crown. He was also wearing a red shirt and a pair of jeans, as well as running shoes.
"I want a double cheeseburger and a coke to go!" He demanded.
Next to him sat his partner, Izzy, who strangely had the same name as the other boy, but no one's really noticed. At the moment, he was much shorter than his superior. He was close to five feet tall. Like the author, he had tanned skin. He had a large amount of black hair; almost enough to be considered an afro. He was wearing a basic blue t-shirt and a pair of black shorts. He was also wearing a pair of sneakers. He scratched his head as he tried to think of something to order.
"Same here, I guess…" He finally said.
When I said "at the moment," I meant that he never keeps that form for long. Once the story gets started, he could be turned into anything. A hedgehog, an echidna, or even a fox. Everything about him could be changed in an instant. He can be taller or shorter. He can even be younger or older. His normal age is sixteen. Even his sexuality can be switched. In fact, he was still bitter about the author's last work.
Remembering that they were on the air, the duo turned to the camera.
"Oh hello there. Prince Izzy and Izzy here." The taller of the two said. "We're just getting some food for our trip to the next dimension."
"Ugh…" Izzy groaned. "I'll be glad to get out of here after what you put me through." Prince Izzy smirked at him.
"Come on. You know you loved it."
"You know what I would really love to do?" Izzy asked as he picked up a fork. The author gave him a light glare.
"Boy, you better put that down before I decide to do the same thing to you in the next dimension." The younger brunet grumbled as he put the fork down. The last thing he wanted was to be made gay again.
"Here you go." Ray said as he handed the pair their orders.
"Thanks." Prince Izzy said before turning to the camera. "And now to decide where we're going with—" He snapped his fingers. "—the Wheel of Plotlines!"
In a puff of smoke, the wheel that the two brunets have always used appeared. The panels present this time were a poké ball, a circle with a two inside of it, a chao egg, a super leaf, and Otto's skateboard. A ? block was floating near the wheel. Prince Izzy hopped off the stool and turned to his partner.
"Ok Izzy, let's do this so we can get outta here."
"Right!" Izzy cheered as he jumped off his stool walked under the block. "Start it up!"
The wheel started spinning. After a minute or so, Izzy hit the block, causing the wheel to slow down before landing on the circle with a two inside. The panel started blinking. Confused, the boy turned to the author.
"So what does that symbol mean?" The "prince" held his chin in thought.
"Hmmmmm… You know, I have no idea. Let me take a look." He then pulled out a book entitled Instruction book for the Wheel of Plotlines, Second Edition. He thumbed through it for a few minutes. "Here we go! It says here that the circle with a number pictured means we have to do a crossover."
"There's a first." Izzy mumbled. "So how do we decide which two series we're crossing over?"
"According to the book, the wheel will spin the amount of times equal to the number in the circle. That means you'll have to hit the block twice in this case."
"Well, I'm ready." Izzy said as his partner closed the book.
"Ok Crossover Panel! Do your thing!"
The wheel started spinning again. After a few moments, Izzy punched the block, causing it to land on Otto's board. That panel started blinking as well. He gave a groan.
"Oh man! Here again!?"
"Hey!" Reggie, a resident of this dimension, yelled.
"What's wrong with this place!?" Twister, a fellow resident, added. Prince Izzy held his hands in defense.
"Oops…" He shook his head before remembering they still had to decide the other series. "Ok Wheel! Start spinning again!
The wheel started spinning again. After a few moments, Izzy hit the block again, causing it to land on the poké ball panel. That one and the panel with Otto's board pictured started blinking rapidly before dimming completely. A ding was heard and the crossover panel opened.
"So we're crossing over this dimension with Pokémon's, huh?" Izzy asked as he walked back to the author. He was somewhat surprised by the wheel's decision. After all, it was his home dimension.
"Guess so. Better see what the plot is." Prince Izzy replied. He walked up to the wheel and took out a piece of paper. He read it for a few moments before an evil grin overtook his face. "Oh Izzy…"
"Yeah?"
"Do you remember when we first met?" The shorter brunet raised an eyebrow at the older male.
"Yeah. How could I forget? I used to live in the Pokémon dimension in Goldenrod City, Johto. I was just leaving on my journey with Sadie, my meowth, when I found you in a forest, looking confused and stuff. After I led you to the pokémon center in a nearby town, you offered to make me the prince of Johto in exchange for being your partner."
"Life or work?" Sam spoke up. Everybody in the room except for the two Izzys started laughing. The dark haired boys glared at the blond for that one.
"Anyway!" Izzy yelled before continuing. "What a mistake that was. Little did I know what the consequences of that decision were. Why'd you ask, anyway?"
"Just wanted to give us a little back story." Prince Izzy replied. "Anyway, I went through extensive training in my home dimension at the Dimension Hopper Corps Academy. Our mission is to research what would happen to the inhabitants of different dimensions when they're placed in different situations. This is accomplished by writing different stories, often using our partners as characters to interact with the inhabitants of those dimensions."
"Boss, what is the point of all this explaining!?" Izzy roared.
"I'm getting to that! Anyway, we were trained to write different types of stories. Adventure, humor, horror, romance, slash—"
"Ugh! Don't remind me!" Izzy yelled, shuddering at the memory. The older one rolled his eyes.
"—And tragedy among others. When I passed my classes, I was given one final test before I can get my license to write and that was to do some field work and get my writing partner. I found you, wrote my first actual fic, and got my license to write."
"Yeah, yeah." Izzy crossed his arms. "So what was all that about?"
"Well, in the academy, I was taught how to write crossovers. The professor of that class said we can combine how ever many dimensions we wish, depending on the Wheel of Plotlines' decision, of course. However, I feel that there must be something that the dimensions being crossed over have in common. A link, if you will."
"Example?"
"Well, the link can't be something obvious like that the sky is blue or that people breathe the same air." Prince Izzy answered. "One possible example could be to combine this dimension with the dimension of Rugrats because of the fact that Tommy's hair is purple, like Reggie's. In fact, a possible plot for a crossover fic involving those two shows would be to have her fall in love with him because of the similar hair color and because of the fact that, according to most RP fans, she has a thing for camera guys."
Reggie and Twister blushed.
"No way!" They both yelled. The so-called "prince" shrugged.
"Don't worry. I ain't one of them. Anyway, to continue playing with that idea, I could have the queen of darkness, Angelica; fall in love with the master of evil, Lars because they both terrorize the stars of their respective shows."
"o.O Ok, that's just plain freaky, even for you." Izzy said.
"Heh. I think I'm capable of worse. Anyway, another possibility would be to combine this dimension with the dimension of Sonic the Hedgehog because our blue friend can snowboard and grind rails like the guys here."
"Hmmmm… I thought for sure that would've had to do with you identifying the RP cast with the Sonic cast. So what's the link between this dimension and Pokémon's?"
"Well you should know." Izzy shrugged at the response.
"I honestly have no clue."
'You gotta be kidding me. As much as he hates that joke.' Prince Izzy thought. Ever since the duo's third adventure, the younger boy has always hated the author's favorite joke. He shrugged.
"Oh well. Let's just say the slash fans in the audience would know what I'm talking about."
The slash fans in the Shack snickered in response to the author's hinting while the non-slash fans were utterly confused.
"Now, now. Don't worry, you non-slash fans." He reassured. "You'll find out soon enough."
"So what part am I playing in this one?" Izzy asked. In just about every adventure, he has played as the hero while researching the chosen dimension's inhabitants. The "prince" grinned.
"Heh." He grabbed Izzy's arm.
"o.O Wha?"
That was all he got out before Prince Izzy swung him around and around. He then tossed the younger boy towards the back room.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
::CRASH!!!::
"OW!!! IZZY!!!" Otto, the only star who wasn't present, yelled from the room.
"Hmmm… So that's where he was…" The young adult said before turning to the camera. "Anyway, if you're wondering why I just tossed my partner like that, it's because he's not the star of this fic." Izzy stumbled out of the room, looking disheveled, followed by Otto.
"Did I hear that right? Did you just say you're going to write a multi-chapter fic that doesn't star me?"
"That's right."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!" Izzy laughed, holding his sides. The older boy glared at him.
"What!?" Izzy laughed for a bit longer before taking a deep breath.
"You can't write a multi-chapter fic that doesn't have me as the star!" He replied. "It's physically impossible! You'd crack by the end of the first chapter!"
"Oh yeah?" The author challenged, crossing his arms. "Well I say I can get at least halfway through the story before I crack and mention your name."
"Heh. You're on!" Izzy said confidently before shaking hands with him. "So who is the star of the fic?"
"Hmmm… We'll need a bigger stage to decide. Come on!" Prince Izzy ran out of the Shack and waved to the four stars of the show. "And the rest of you guys too!"
Izzy and the four cast members in question shrugged before following the author.
Later…
At the soundstage at the other end of town, the curtain rose. The crowd there cheered as the two dimension-hoppers and the stars of Rocket Power ran out on stage.
"Hey everybody!" Prince Izzy yelled through a microphone. "We're here to decide the star of the fic, the Greatest Action Hero of the Rocket Power Dimension!" The crowd cheered as Izzy walked up to his partner.
"Greatest Action Hero? You mean Otto?" The taller boy smirked.
"Perhaps. You see, there are certain qualities that I have looked for in deciding who the Greatest Action Hero in this dimension is. For example, he or she must be brave, fearless, and willing to go the length to save the day! And also…"
'Why does he have to make a big production out of everything?' Izzy thought as he walked back to the four younger kids. 'It's so obvious Otto's gonna be the hero!' Makes perfect sense. After all, the redhead was the other hero in the last adventure.
'Does he really have to waste everybody's time? Just announce my name already!' Otto thought impatiently. He smirked and held his chin. 'I wonder how I'm gonna save the world this time.'
'Just hurry up so that I won't have to hear Otto's bragging for too long.' Reggie thought, crossing her arms.
"He or she must be able to do anything to save the world, including fighting his or her friends." Prince Izzy continued. "Another thing…"
'I hope he makes this quick.' Sam thought with a sigh. 'How cool would it be if I could be the hero? Oh well… He'd never pick me.'
'So Ottoman's gonna be the hero?' Twister thought. 'I wonder if he gets a cool car with a whole bunch of weird gadgets.'
"And further more, it couldn't hurt to have a little modesty and brains. Plus…" The author started.
'Brains? Him!? Yeah, in a million years maybe!' Reggie thought with a laugh.
'Otto, modest? Pfft!' Sam thought with a chuckle.
'Man, I love how this guy keeps buttering me up like that!' Otto thought before striking a pose. 'That's right. Make me look good for my fans.'
"Finally, the Greatest Action Hero had to have endured a week of new episodes in which he, or she, has gotten a broken limb, tried to do an incredibly stupid stunt, almost drowned, and, most importantly, suffered from an asthma attack!" Prince Izzy shouted. Izzy, Reggie, Twister, and Sam were surprised at that last part.
'Huh? An asthma attack? Otto's never had an asthma attack…' All four of them thought. 'Unless…'
"And now, the moment you've been waiting for." The author started again. "The Greatest Action Hero in the Rocket Power Dimension is…"
'Nah! There's no way he's gonna say him! He's not that insane.' Izzy thought.
'He's so going to pick Otto. It's a no-brainer.' Reggie thought.
'I thought for sure…' Sam thought. He waved a dismissive hand. 'Nah! He'll say Otto.'
'I didn't know Otto had asthma…' Twister thought with confusion.
'It's about time! Say my name already!' Otto thought with a grin.
"SAM DULLARD, COME ON DOWN!!!" Prince Izzy roared. The crowd screamed for a few seconds before stopping.
"HUH!?!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Otto yelled, walking forward and waving to everybody who was in a stunned silence. "I knew you'd pick me to be the hero! And also—WHAT!?!" He gaped at the author.
"WHO DID HE SAY!?!" Twister, Reggie, and Izzy yelled in shock. Sam walked forward in equal shock.
"Me? You picked me to be hero of the story?" He asked, disbelieving the whole thing. Prince Izzy gave him a thumbs-up.
"That's right! You're the star of my fic!" He walked up to Sam and put an arm around his shoulder. "Come on. We need to talk about the script."
"Alright." Sam said before walking with the older guy. Izzy ran up to them.
"HOLD IT!" He roared. His partner turned to him with an impish grin.
"Yes?"
"B-but him!" Izzy stuttered, pointing at Otto, who had fainted. "And him?!" He pointed at Sam. "And you!" He hissed, pointing at the older brunet. "And him!" He pointed at Otto. "And him?!" He pointed at Sam. "And YOU!" He pointed at Prince Izzy again. This continued for a bit longer before he slapped his head.
"Quit fooling around, Izzy." The author said innocently. "We gotta get started."
"B-but—Ugh… I forgot who I was dealing with." Izzy groaned. He just remembered the author, while serious most of the time, can be completely random. "You're the one who made me run from digimon while listening to music. Of course you're capable of this." Prince Izzy turned to the camera and winked.
"We'll be right back with Chapter One!"
(Note: It was tough fixing that intro. That's the last time I refer to myself in the third person.)
