And once again the day is saved...or is it?

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

GRATS MEATSHIP!

You saved the day! Yes you! The Worlds have been put back right and all is well with the universe! You're the big damn hero!

...except you're the only one who remembers any of it happening.

Did it really happen? Have you gone insane? Will people believe you?

And after your experiences will they noticed how much you've changed?

More importantly when the world was put back, was it put back correctly?

Step 1: Post with a short description of your characters world now that it's been brought back/reborn/ect as well as your character interacting with it. Maybe they just woke up in their own bed for the first time, maybe they've been back for a couple weeks and are still adjusting? Also how long were you gone from your world? Seconds? Days? Years?

Step B: RANDOMLY, someone from the meatship appears in your world instead of their own. What a crazy freak accident!!! Well they may be stuck there, hope you can help them adjust.

Step C3 : Maybe things aren't exactly how you remember? Maybe things just seem a little...unsettling AHHH you're in the matrix!!! Maybe the OHM come back, Or maybe it's all inside the snowglobe of an autistic child  Insert Tommy Westphall reference here?I dunno if you enjoy this idea make some drama for yourself my amount of investment in this silly meme is already running out.

Step ?: ???

Step$: Cake

Note: Back in step B the "Someone" can also be more then a couple someone's if you're that organized.

no it's beautiful

Startled by the noise, Chell set down the Companion Cube and rushed to the source, unsure of what she'd find or if it was a threat.

It was another human, one that she recognized from that not-a-dream about all that saving the multiverse.

Very slowly, very tentatively, she extended a hand.

ahaha ninjas in the sky

[encourage]

Breath knocked out of her, Sakura blinked up at the cloudless sky for a while before footsteps registered.

Hey. She recognized that face.

Equally tentative, Sakura reached one hand out to accept the offered hand. "Thanks," she all but squeaks, air finding some room back into her lungs.

Something was quite probably wrong, because if she'd gone back to her world? She'd be in the middle of a war right now.

[cityship]

Aww shit. There was a metal dragon in the sky. It appeared to be preparing itself to land close by.

[fattynoparents]

Oh. Well.

That was different.

Maybe humanity had died out and been replaced by giant metal dragons. She froze, still helping Sakura to her feet.

Maybe...running would be a good idea.

[encourage]

"Run." It's like they're sharing the same mindspace.

Only Sakura knows this dragon, and the only option?

Is to run before she catches up oh goodness no!

[fattynoparents]

She's ready to hit the ground sprinting when she realizes OH GOD THE COMPANION CUBE.

Chell releases Sakura for a brief moment, used entirely to scoop up the large, unwieldy object. And then start running.

[encourage]

Sakura briefly eyes the object, but hey, if it's important to Chell? It's important to Chell.

She's only going to have to grab them both to hit top speed if Analog decides she really wants to talk to them!

[cityship]

The dragon was coming closer and closer, following them silently.

You could hear all of the clanks and rust screeching.

[fattynoparents]

The most important, okay.

Chell, on the other hand, has never seen Analog before in her ENTIRE LIFE.

So yes. Running. Hauling both ass and Companion Cube. Through a field of wheat. In post-apocalyptic Michigan.

[whyarewehere]

"WAUGH!"

"OOF!"

There was a new noise, which was the sound of a guy in standard issue orange armor skidding along the ground.

The multiverse, it seems, had indigestion.

Nobody trip over him, guys!

[lessafool.livejournal.com]

Or the Andalite that follows soon after!

Though Aldrea at least seems to be on all four hooves and cranking her stalk eyes up to regard Analog and the running humans and deciding that maybe this is also a good time for them to run?

< I highly suggest standing immediately so we can get out of the way of whatever it is that's coming! >

[encourage]

THAT IS NOT THE ANDALITE SAKURA WAS MOST FAMILIAR WITH it was less blue and more purple. Color aside, Sakura has little time to think, instead just --

-- jumping over Grif at first because where even did he come from? "You guys?!" she asks, taken by surprise. "Who's next? Kang?!"

[whyarewehere]

Grif took one look at that flying monstrosity and he was up and running too. Oh hey, there were people here! People he recognized!

He supposed it could be worse.

"Yeah hi it's me and WHAT IS THAT THING?!"

[encourage]

Sakura actually knew, which is probably why she spoke up. "Time Dragon! Her name's Analog, but unless you're a virgin princess," please don't be, "She's not so much a threat as really incredibly annoying."

...

"With the potential to eat you too, I guess, though I'd rather not have to find out!"

[whyarewehere]

Grif, luckily, was not a virgin princess.

So that was one less thing to worry about.

"Okay! Everyone keep running!"

[fattynoparents]

Everything happened much too fast for Chell to even register.

First, Grif fell from the sky. Again. Then there was one of those alien guys! And they were still being chased by a dragon.

She could not argue with the running. The weight of the Cube, however, kept her lagging slightly behind the rest of the group.

[encourage]

Sakura could see this problem. She switched pace, looking over at Chell when she drew even with her. "Hey, I can probably manage to run faster with the added weight. Want me to take over for a bit?"

With the whole dragon and possible annoyance doom impending and all, charity still wasn't out the window.

That field of wheat couldn't go on forever, could it? In fact it began to turn into amounts of sand and what looked like...a racetrack? Huh. Must have been a testing place in the past. With with a metal dragon following them, they could only press on, and it was pretty handy.

But lo! Out of the corner of their eye the most MANLIEST OF MACHINES (http://images.wikia.com/fzero/images/4/4b/Fire_stingray.jpg) appeared in the manliest of hot pink and a guy stepped out, sword drawn.

Hey it's the future, ladies and gentlem--I mean Grif. They were still on earth, and in Samurai Goroh's territory.

"WHAT THE IS GOING ?"

Yeap, that testing had been going on so long down there, the entire world had had time to travel to the stars, come back to earth and build racetracks all over it for no reason but to have guys do backflips and other guys wear tight spandex with bright gold nipplebuttons.

Chell, your future kinda sucks even more than you first thought it did.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS

[raced-god.livejournal.com]

Goroh was so distracted by the motley crew running from a dragon that Falcon totally lapped him like

ten times

the end.

ok here i go for real

[fattynoparents]

THIS WAS THE WORST FUTURE EVER.

Now that she and the Companion Cube were reunited, Chell was going to be hard-pressed to give it up, even if it was causing her to fall behind. She also sort of questioned how a girl her size like Sakura would fair any better hauling it around. In the end, though (and especially with these racecars, all of a sudden), the obvious choice was to accept Sakura's offer and heft the Cube in the direction of the sprinting ninja.

HERE WE GO AGAIN ON OUR COMBINED ALONES

[encourage]

SAKURA DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THIS FUTURE!

But she understands taking cubes and then making it seem like she's running effortlessly with them, because true to her word, Sakura picks up speed carrying the cube.

She's just keeping half an eye on Chell to make sure she's speeding up, too!

GOING DOWN THE ONLY ROAD WE'VE NEVER KNOWN?

[lessafool.livejournal.com]

Aldrea heard this explanation, and found something pretty at fault with it.

< We're running from this Time Dragon because they are considered annoying? More than any other threat? >

Sure, an Andalite running with that faintly scorpion-esque tail curled up over her back could manage to sound dubious and offended at this idea. Really? Running from an irritation?

Perhaps her devouring them was more likely than the pink haired human made it seem.

[whyarewehere]

"Well you see our entire reality has been kind of super annoying for the last couple of yea- OH GOD WHAT IS THIS?!"

[cityship]

Too late. The Time Dragon Bus had arrived. All the cranky lot of her.

"I thought I smelled a virgin." She sniffed at Analog. "YOU." Before the other girl could speak (because Analog was female, despite everything). "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOLDING MY CHILDHOOD TOY?!"

She pointed to the tiny little companion cube.

"I've been tracking it down for the past hundred years. I come here to get it ready to tear this place apart and the future inside it and now YOU'RE HERE?!"
