A/N: So, I'm sitting in Barnes and Noble waiting for midnight (... it's 3 in the afternoon), and I'm bored out of my mind (how is it possible to be so bored in a BOOKSTORE?) so, you get another update today.
When I get closer to the end, the chapters will all become straight prose, like these. Which is to say, yes, this is going somewhere, even if it doesn't seem like it. In case anybody wondered/cared.

Uno was already on the phone when his assistant arrived at his office. She spread her hands to show him she was empty-handed.
He covered the mouthpiece. "I'm on the phone with them right now."
She raised an eyebrow. "They thought it was important enough to call you?"
He nodded, then went back to the phone. "Yeah... I know. -- No, I do think that's a good idea. -- Yeah, I'll tell her right away." He hung the phone up.
"So? What's the situation?"
"Viewers didn't like the name changes. Said it confused them too much. So we're going to stay away from that from now on."
"Okay..." She nodded. "So are we continuing on with the high school theme?"
"Not at all. They want to go back to the ship, but introduce a major new cast member with important connections to canon characters."
She frowned. "Don't they realize that's what sunk The Brady Bunch?"
Uno shrugged. "Who knows. Anyway, you need to get down to wardrobe right away."
"Me? Why?"
"Because they didn't want to hire anyone new. You'll be playing the new character."
"... What?"
"Hurry up! Go! I'll go to the writers myself."
