A/N: I don't own RENT or any of it's characters, I just finally moved on from Barbies and played with these people instead!

"Last night, I had a dream: I found myself in a desert called Cyberland. It was hot.
My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty," a young woman with long, curly, brown hair said with wide eyes. She looked out at the crowd and saw Maggie standing next to (and quite close to) her ex-boyfriend, Mark, wondered about it for a moment before continuing.

"Out of the abyss walked a cow, Elsie. I asked if she had anything to drink, she said, 'I'm forbidden to produce milk, In Cyberland we only drink Diet Coke.'" The word 'Coke' echoed through the lot full of homeless people and bohemians, a chuckle arising from both groups of people.

"She said, 'Only thing to do is jump over the moon.' They've closed everything real down, Like barns and troughs and Performing Spaces, And replaced it all with lies, and rules, and Virtual Life. But there is a way out."

Maureen was getting more excited as the protest continued, as was the audience. Maggie looked over at Mark and saw him holding his camera, taping the whole protest. Maggie smiled at him as he turned and whispered in her ear, "She's a bit odd at first...actually she is all the time but you get used to her more after a while." Maggie laughed and turned back to Maureen as Mark turned back to his camera.

"Only thing to do is jump over the moon." Maureen stopped and looked through the crowd, her eyes lingering on everyone's favorite bohos, before taking a huge breath and continuing, "I gotta get outta here! It's like I'm being tied to the hood of
a yellow rental truck, bein' packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse! I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta find a way...To jump over the moon. Only thing to do is jump over the moon." Maggie was cheering and laughing along with the crowd.

Roger muttered, "I always knew she was crazy..." To no one in particular and it was only heard by Maggie. She turned and gave him a wink after he realized she had heard him. He smirked and turned back to Maureen who was currently mocking Benny, their landlord.

The protest continued without a trace of trouble. Maureen let out a large slurping sound at which Maggie completely lost it and laughed uncontrollably while holding her stomach for the second time that day. She wasn't alone in the laughter as the lot burst into laughter.

"'Climb on board!' She said. And as the harvest moon rose over Cyberland, we reared back, we sprang into a gallop, leaping, out of orbit; I awoke singing"

"Only thing to do, Only think to do is jump,Only thing to do is jump Over the moon Only thing to do is jump Over the moon Over the moon Over the ...MOOOOOOOO!!!"

"Moo with me! Come on sir, moo with me! Moo! Mooo! MOOO! MOOOOOO!"

The crowd cautiously erupted in moos before becoming more confident in the protestation (a/n: not a word. i made it up!) and mooed louder. Suddenly, a small fight broke out between two officers and a man in the crowd. Without being fully able to comprehend it, a riot had started and Maggie was being pulled out of the way of an officer by Mark who looked at her with a worried expression on his face, silently asking if she was okay. He continued to tape the riot as he pulled Maggie by the arm out of the lot and onto the cold, dark, street where everyone was scurrying away from the building to insure they weren't arrested or hurt.

Mark pulled Maggie around the corner and started to slow down as they walked. "Are you okay?" He asked as they continued walking in the direction of 'big city office buildings.'

"Yeah, I'm fine," Maggie said as she pulled an inhalor out of her jean pocket. She shakily put it in her mouth and dispensed the albuterol. "Just out of breath."

"Do you need to sit down and catch your breath or something?"

"No, I'll be fine. This," she motioned to her inhalor," Happens all the time." Maggie took a look at her surroundings and asked Mark, "Where are we going?"

"I'm taking the tape of the protest and the riot down to the news station. I take stuff to them all the time but they usually don't show it. Because of the riot and everything with the police, I'm hoping they might use part of it somewhere. It's the first building on this next block," he said as they crossed the street.

Maggie looked up into the large office windows going twenty-some floors up. She was suddenly intimidated by them even though she had been in some before, back in Illinois. They entered and Mark led the way to the elevator before motioning to Maggie to enter ahead of him.

A secretary motioned Mark into an office on the 21st floor of the building. Maggie waited in the lobby as Mark went in to deal with some 'big fancy business prick.' He came out of the office approxiametly 8.5 (not like Maggie was counting) minutes later with a smile on his face. He walked over to Maggie as she stood up and he said, "They bought it. It's the lead story on the news tonight and tomorrow."

"Congratulations!" Maggie exclaimed as she hugged Mark. He hugged her back before they akwardly broke apart. They stared at each other before Mark started,

"Everyone's expecting us at the Life Cafe, we should probably head over there."

"Sounds good to me!" Maggie said as they started walking down the hall towards the elevator.
