Without Further Ado-

Response To Reviews

The Utterly Fabulous Z- Yes, Kiseki is still there :). She was in chapter 15 I believe. :3 And she will appear more, don't ya worry! 3

Havarti2- Submit ALL the dares! :D

Eightmarumy fav- I would love to. Alas, you must submit dares through PM. Sowwy. :/

Cancergirl12- Aw, sorry you have cancer... good luck. 3. I was already planning to put a bit more of the Zero-G characters in.. when I have time. My schedule is so crammed that it's not even funny.

The next day, we all came back into the studio happy and ready for the next day of ToD. After yesterday's *cough* unfortunate mishap, the whole cast was set to go!

"Hey, Cookie?" Alexa poked her head through the door to my office. "There's this random girl who claims to be on the show outside. Her name is Fea or something."

"Oh, really?" I tilted my head. She was early. My cookie earrings jingled a bit. "Bring her in then!"

Alexa ran out and a few seconds later came back in with Fea in tow. The new OC waved. "Hi there! I'm Fea. You must be Cookie." We shook hands. "My author, TerrahAndLizzyLeeChan, told me about you, right?"

I nodded. "The show's just about to start, so why don't you get acquainted with everyone?" I shoved the two girls out the door and took a deep breath. Things were NOT going okay for me in real life. I was a social outcast and had been rejected by my crush not once, but twice in one year. Life seemed quite unfair, and writing out ToD was certainly hard on top of all my activities.

But hey, it was ToD time! And ToD time is the BEST time, of course! The thought made me smile, and I began writing my script...

Meanwhile Outside...

"Oh hey! You must be new!" Kathleen put on a supersized grin and gave the new OC a big cuddle.

"H..hi?" Fea said, stunned at the sudden display of affection.

"Well, since Surfie here won't introduce everyone, I might as well," sighed an irritated Serpentine. "I'm Serpentine. That there is Kiseki." She dropped her voice to a whisper and said, "She likes Masamune." Normally speaking once again, the snake girl carried on. "There's Alexa, andshelikesGingka-"

"What?" Alexa asked, hearing her name.

"Nothing," Serpentine replied flawlessly. "Ryua, dating Sakyo-!"

"YOU'RE DATING MY BROTHER?" Fea grabbed the poor girl by the shoulders and shook her up and down.

"Yes! Um- no! Um- WAIT! HE'S YOUR BROTHER?" Ryua replied.

"YES, HE IS MY-!"

"But Sakyo is my brother!" Jin leapt into the room.

"I'm sorry sugarcube, you're kind of mixed up. He's my brother." Fea smiled.

"Um," Jin gave a forced chuckle. "I think YOU'RE wrong. He's MY brother."

"HE IS MY BROTHER!"

"HE IS MY BROTHER, SO BACK OFF-"

Your screen suddenly is replaced by the Complete Insanity logo, and then switches to a slideshow with the following text on it.

Hi there!

Apologies about

the brief pause. Unfortunately, one of our beloved OC's broke the No Language rule. Oh dearie me.

Don't worry, nobody is hurt and nobody will be punished. It was just a brief slip, and we hope this slip did not take away from the overall enjoyment of Complete Insanity!

We will now return to the story.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Your screen goes back to normal.

I sighed. "Seriously guys? I HATE pausing the story. DON'T MAKE ME.

Jin and Fea both said, "Sorry..." and looked at the ground at the same time.

"It's fine girls! Just maybe don't do that again." I laughed.

"But seriously. How can they both be Sakyo's sisters and neither of them knew it?" Kiseki asked.

"Ah... well, sit down and let me explain." We all sat in a semicircle. Since the actual cast wouldn't be here for an hour, we had time.

"You see, each author has their own... erm...universe that exists. For lack of a better term, we're calling this their *AU*, not to be confused with AU, which means alternate universe. Each *AU* starts out as canon-all the characters interacting normally and going along with the storyline. This is called Stage 1, in which the Author has no control over the characters. Now, all authors enjoy making their own characters and inserting them into the story, correct?

The gang nodded.

"Then, in Stage 2, said Author adds their own character into their *AU*. Said character sticks to the storyline completely. There's no editing of the plot."

"That's wonderful, but I still don't get it." Ryua said confusedly.

"Hush! I'm getting to the good part." I sighed. "In Stage 3, the Author takes both Canon and OC characters and creates their own wonderful plot to put them all in They don't change anything about the characters. Examples would be The First Nemesis Crisis-The Untold Story, which is one of my stories. Gingka and Kyo-yo and Kenta and whoever are in there, but the plot was entirely made by me. Gotcha?"

"Gotchie!" Kathleen pepped in.

"And then there's Stage 4- in which the Author changes canon to suit their needs. Exaples would be genderbending a character, or pretending an event didn't exist."

Everyone was looking bored at this point, so I sped it up.

"Last one is Stage 5, in which the Author is basically the God/Goddess of the universe. They themselves are inside the story and change .THING. however they want. This story is a stage 5 story." I grinned.

"Now, each Canon character has various different selves to cope with the amount of Authoresses and Authors writing about them. Each self is their own person- they don't share thoughts or anything."

"Ah," Serpentine said, "I see where you're going."

"However, when 2 different OCs made by different authors are brought into the same universe, well, normally things get a tad hectic, because of the different plots and characterizations clashing. It's all blood and guts and sorrow."

"Er.." Alexa said awkwardly. "Then how do we co-exist?"

"Well, either one Author changes their character to fit in with the other one's plot OR..." I paused for dramatic effect. "In a special case, ONLY IN STAGE 5 *AU*S, the two OCs can co-exist! The Canon character will simply have a completely unique personality in which they interact with both OCs only on a platonic level. With romance, there's a whole other explanation which we don't have any time for."

I sighed here and took a sip of water from a magically appearing cup.

"So when 2 OCs are supposed to be related to the same canon character, they're just related. It just happens. It's a whole separate *AU*." I finished.

"Was that whole explanation really neccesary?" Ryua asked.

"Well...no. But it was fun to write." I admitted.

Okay, I'm SO SORRY THAT THERE ARE NO TRUTHS OR DARES IN THIS CHAPTER!

I have a lot of...well, bad stuff going on in my life, and to be honest, writing humor at times like this is tough. :/

I'd appreciate it if you all don't ask what's going on. It is very personal, however I will confirm that I am going through some romantic struggles and friendship struggles at this time. :(

Please do keep the truths/dares coming! I promise, promise, promise the next chapter will make up for this boring one!

Keep your fingers crossed that everything will be okay!

ILY all. Stay strong!
