Look, the state of night far college drive. See, the girlfriend is just barely a friend, young nightmare. In sleep I know I think. A daze is my only seen in a mall with a games are good. No pretend car!<P><P>Cough drops are smooth, the power to go on. You're a girl and your cousin is a girl. I am night time, amber light, amber night. Let it all go. Cool in the darkness. You fool.<P><P>I'm on Tabasco and she's on codeine. Sometimes on cable I flip past a rodeo. Ten minutes ahead of travel.<P><P>Dark sky massive flight, Sunday destruction--killflay their deity. Feminine day forever, was the and is the deep smell of girl. Foolin', retarded jigsaw circumstance, massage of emptiness, a bolt of heaven. Down for real, ignition in skin, a cold rainy street morning afterward. I'll take the outside.<P><P>Being that wonder is slight, going all along the day midwall, the corporeal stab is the your sense. Building is the same, in a wane, in the stay, to over gas stations. Can we all mall? Snowflaw car, the day of the eatery's salad bar super tray. For the nice domed window above I call home, and a book on magic at the library is under a roof in the rain. Can all this be? Twis sury.<P><P>Through these dank fields, did we all amble, chomping on shields, dining on bramble. The light of the morning, a massacre made, remember the warning--in fog we do fade.<P><P>--------------------------<P>CHAPTER 25<P>--------------------------<P><P>The group under the green sky stopped and exchanged annoyed glances. Coabler rolled his eyes and looked back at the rest of the gang. "Okay, who wants to deal with this?"<P><P>Classic of Logic stepped forward and said "This is all we need."<P><P>The girl who had just appeared smiled at Classic as she approached.<P><P>"Well hello there Classic of Logic and all of you. My name is Millicent, and you know what? I'm inside the movie!"<P><P>"Okay," Classic said. "When you say you're inside the movie, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean that you were watching a movie with us in it, and somehow used a superpower or device to step into the film?"<P><P>"You got it!" Millicent said brightly, jumping down and leaning on the log. "I've always loved 'Cup's Club'--that's why I chose it."<P><P>Daptin looked up at the green sky, and muttered "I knew that phone call was a bad idea."<P><P>Bith, nearby, turned to Daptin and asked "Huh?"<P><P>"I'm just saying, when Mallie made that call and the sky turned green, I knew something went wrong--and now this! A girl who steps into a movie and we're the movie. I mean, you know what? We're totally fucked."<P><P>Fake stepped forward and addressed Millicent.<P><P>"Look Millicent. As I'm sure you know from the movie, we're in a pretty bad situation here, and to us, it's reality. We have to keep moving."<P><P>"I know. But you have some time yet. You can take a break and relax."<P><P>"Can't you see?" Daptin said. "It was the phone call! A direct link between here and there, direct communication. Look at the sky! And now, we're in some really dangerous territory. Remember when we were working at the water treatment plant? Or that place where we were goddamn prostitutes? Now we're characters in a movie--or even worse--part of this babe's adolescent fantasy! I can't take it! I just can't fucking take it!"<P><P>"Now wait a minute, Daptin," Granticaine said, sitting down on a boulder. "I think you're overreacting to this. I mean, just think about it. If there are infinite alternate worlds out there, then it makes sense that in one of them they just happened to make a movie about characters and circumstances identical to us right now. That doesn't mean we're in the movie."<P><P>"I just have a bad feeling about the whole thing," Daptin said, his frost flame flaring.<BR><A HREF="SR_Bk1-0106.txt">Next (Page 106)</A>
