<<END SNIP>>
Keto sat up, groaning and clutching his head.
"Oh dear God that hurt..." he began, before a frown crossed his
face and he leapt to his feet, spinning round and waving a finger at
the Wildflower-lookalike Cerebrum.
"YOU! You're not Wildflower!"
"Am I not?" asked Cerebrum, wondering for an instant if he could
gain anything by playing along, and then deciding it was too risky.
Keto might actually fall for it. "No, I suppose I'm not. I'm
Cerebrum."
"Why," growled Keto, advancing slowly, "Do you look like the woman
I love, and where IS the woman I love?"
"The creature you're looking for would be in the medibay," said
Cerebrum, playing with his black-on-black remote control as he tried
to revert to his normal form.
-- Elsewhere --
The lights in the AR suite flickered, then powered down, leading to
screams of loss from those crewmembers who had decided that the
virtual worlds were an easy way to satisfy their sudden desires.
-- Back Again --
"In the medibay? I just CAME from the medibay! I saw her run past
it!" snapped Keto.
"No, you saw me running away from you, like any sane person (or me)
would do. Chrysler grabbed her and pulled her inside, replacing her
with me. Oh, and he knows I'm not his father, by the way. You owe
me a refund."
"WHAT? YOU NEVER PAID ME!" shouted Keto, his urge to keep some
sort of budget temporarily overriding his lustful wrath, before he
continued, "Wait, you said CHRYSLER grabbed her!?"
"Yup," nodded Cerebrum, frowning as he tried another button on his
remote.
-- Elsewhere --
Technicians in the landing bay were completely shocked when one of
the Blue Midgets suddenly stood up and began to dance a fairly well-
choreographed rendition of The Funky Chicken. Not nearly as
surprised as the couple who had taken to the Midget's back seat,
however.
-- In The Medibay --
Tara ran out, with a sound not unlike the roadrunner taking off,
with Rufus following close behind. Jay and Wildflower stood for a
moment, staring after them, until the doors swished shut.
"Well," said Jay, "That was interesting."
"Is the Tree in here?" asked Wildflower eagerly, looking around.
Before Jay had a chance to respond, however, the medibay door
suddenly buckled with a resounding boom, then with a second boom it
crashed inwards, causing the two to jump backwards to avoid being
crushed.
As the shards of metal cleared from the air, Keto was revealed,
face contorted with fury, the Big Pink Tree clutched in his arms like
a battering ram, supported by Cerebrum.
"CHRYSLER!" yelled Keto, dropping the Tree and marching forward,
grabbing an ointment bottle off a nearby shelf and brandishing
it, "I'VE GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!"
"And that, my son, is what *I* call justice," called Cerebrum from
behind the Tree.
