Experiment 917:  The Many "Deaths"...Part 2
By a group of 5 MSTies.

(The rating was accidentally left off of Part 1, so...here's the basic idea: Overall, this fic probably is on the border of PG and PG-13 for its swearing and sexual humor.  A few innuendoes, that's for sure!)

(Fade in to the SOL bridge.  Mike is leaning on the counter, Carmen is to his right
using a laptop and has headphones on.  Enter Tom and Crow with a guitar
and drum set respectively.)

Tom: Mike, we have come up with an idea to vent our frustration with this fic.

Crow: We wrote a song. Well...we didn't EXACTLY write it....

Tom: We more, sort of, well took a page from Carmen's book and...

Crow: We stole it, Mike.

Tom: Well...

Crow: I mean, the words are ours, it's the music part we stole.

Mike: Meaning....?

Tom: Well, we took a page from Weird Al Yankovic's book and...

Crow: It's a parody, Mike.

Mike: I see. Well, what is it a parody of?

Crow: There's this simple song called "You're a God" by a band called Vertical Horizon. So we made some lyric changes and came up with our own song entitled, "This Fic Sucks."

Tom: Carmen, you've heard of the song we're doing the parody of, right?

Carmen: (noticing Tom looking towards her and looks up.  Responds quickly)  Oh...yeah, right. It's good.

Tom: What about you Nelson?

Mike: Uh.. sure..I think...

Crow: He's never heard it.

Tom: Well, whatever Nelson. You'll catch on. And you'll love this!

Crow: Shall we hit it?

Tom: Hey, Carmen, you ready?

Carmen: (half listening) Yeah, sure Tom.

(Tom begins to "strum" his guitar, Crow plays backup on drums.)

Tom: (singing)
I'm gonna be honest
And as you know
This crap I despise
It sucks okay?
This nothing to this
NO
It's such grand torture I say

Will it just end?
Oh
Oh, will it just end?

Tom and Crow (in harmony):
Cuz this fic sucks
Yes it does
And it's a fact that you do know
This fic sucks
Yes it does
And I say in fact it does blow

(brief musical interlude)

(spoken)

Mike: That's great guys...

Tom: But wait, there's verse 2!

Mike: Oh...Okaaay...

Tom: (singing)
Hey there Globie, we put you down
We hope that you have learned something by now
Like plot and grammar
YO
There's some more you gotta show somehow

Will it just end?
Oh
Oh, will it just end?

Tom and Crow (in harmony):
Cuz this fic sucks
Yes it does
And it's a fact that you do know
This fic sucks
Yes it does
And I say in fact it does blow

(20 second musical interlude)

(spoken)

Mike: I see...and is there another verse?

Crow:  Not a unique one.  Verse one repeats and then we sing the refrain 'til the end with grand finale style.

Mike:  Then you can just stop right here.

Tom:  No way Nelson!  We're finishing, right Carmen?

Carmen: (not paying attention) Yeah...have fun.

Crow:  All right!

Mike:  Oh enough, already!!!  I get the point!

Tom (singing):
I'm gonna be honest
And as you know                                                                     Mike: (growls)  TOM....
This crap I despise
It sucks okay?                                                                          Mike:  (more angered growl) TOM..... *huffs*
This nothing to this
NO
It's such grand torture I say ay ay ay                                         Mike: (exclaims) TOM!!!

Will it just end?
Oh
Oh, will it just end?

Tom and Crow:
Cuz this fic sucks                                                                    Mike:  Crow...TOM...knock it off!!
Yes it does
And it's a fact that you do know                                              Mike:  I MEAN IT!  NOW!!!!
This fic sucks
Yes it does
And I say in fact it does blow                                                  Mike:  WILL YOU TWO JUST-

Tom and Crow:
This fic sucks

Tom: Oh it really does

Tom and Crow: And it's a fact that you do know

Tom: Oh I thought that you would know                                Mike:  I MEAN IT...

Tom and Crow: This fic sucks

Tom: Oh it really does                                                          Mike: FOR THE LAST TIME-

Tom and Crow: And I say in fact it does blow

(With a final couple of guitar twangs, the song is completed)

(spoken)

Crow:  We're done now.

Mike:  (huffing)  GOOD.

Tom:  Chill Nelson...Carmen liked it, right?

Carmen: (distracted) Huh? Oh...that was great guys.

Tom: Hey Mikey, she likes it!

Mike: (groans burying his head in his hands)

(Commercial lights flash)

Tom:  Um...We'll be right back....

Carmen: (looking at the CD in the player) This just might work...

(Fade out)

(Fade into the theater.  Riffers take their seats)

All: Carmen!

Carmen: Yes? You called?

*** Chase appears on the scene ***

Chase: Carmen! You're under arrest!

your back?

Crow: Out where? Outside? Outback? Out of the closet?

Carmen: Crow...

Globie: I'll talk to the Chief. You guys go get some lunch.

Mike: Because OBVIOUSLY I'm the only one here who can do ANYTHING.

Jaci: We'll see you later.

Laurie: Good luck.

Zack: Lemme help.

Ann: You heard Globie.

Crow: (Zack)  Guess I forgot to put my "listening ears" on.

Polly: I'm outta here!

*** Polly closes door ***

Globie: I know Carmen had a special place in your heart...er...CPU, Chief. But...

Chief: She was more than a special place in my CPU, Globie.

Globie: You cannot let this go over your head!

Carmen:  Doesn't he mean "to your head?"

Chief: Globie, When I lost Chase Devinaux after Carmen, I was heartbroken. If I lose you, Zack or Ivy, I would
shut myself down!

Globie: But please, Chief. You have to get over it. Carmen's a thief now. She won't come back again. I'm sorry.

Tom: Yeah, just forget that you've known each other for decades, she's a thief and she's in little tiny pieces so she's no longer human...

Carmen: And could someone please explain to me what the comparison to Chase was for?  Besides, seeing I never really DIED ever in this fic, I'm sure will come back, don't you guys think?

Mike and 'bots: (mummer in agreement)

Chief: I suppose you're right. Carmen is a thief at heart. But now that she's gone, what'll we do?

Globie: Come on, we'll discuss that over lunch.

Crow: That's right. Shallowly console him over food he can't eat..

Chief: Great! I'm famished.

Globie: You're a computer, Chief.

Mike:  So?

Chief: Oh, rats.

Tom:  You called that one, Crow.

Globie: Come along anyway. The fresh air will do you good.

Chief: I suppose you're right. Let's go, and forget about Carmen!

Crow: (to Carmen) Boy for a surrogate father HE got over you quickly, huh?

Carmen:  (mock sob)

Globie: That's the spirit, Chief!

Chief: OK, Globie! Let's go and clean the world!

Mike: I've got a REALLY big sponge!

Globie: A new ACME BCCC 3000? Oh, wow! Thanks, Chief!

Chief: And that's not all! The batteries last longer, and you can travel back farther in time and maybe forward in
time into the future!

Globie: It looks no different.

Crow:  (Aladdin merchant)  Do not be fooled my appearances, my friend.

Chief: Try the C-5 first. Oh, and pick up the other one on the way out.

Tom: (looks at Carmen)

Carmen: Oh save me now....

Chief: Chase, Globie, I want you to go on a mission for me.

Chase: We're listening.

Globie: Does it involve time travel?

Tom: Is it bigger than a bread box?

Chief: Yes, Globie.

Chase: What is the secret mission you want us to go on, then?

Chief: I want you two to go find Carmen, wherever in time she is.

Globie: That's impossible! She was destroyed in the blast in Canadian Pacific's Mount Macdonald Tunnel!

Chief: Then listen to this message.

*** Playback begins ***

Carmen: Chief, I'll be under the sun, but still totally covered!

Carmen: In a place the sun don't shine? (buries her head) Oh I HAVE been here too long.

Tom: It's okay, honey, you'll get used to it after you lose the will to live.

Chase: She's talking about those sweat boxes in California back in the '30s!

Chief: I want you two to go to the 1930s and bring Carmen back to the present and then arrest her.

Globie: No way. I am NOT going.

Crow: If he doesn't, the fic's over, right?

Chase: Let's go.

Mike:  Don't go!

*** Chase activates Time Tunnel ***

Globie: I still say this is a bad idea!

Tom:  And writing this fic wasn't?

*** Chase pulls Globie in ***

Crow: (Chase) Get in here you wuss.

Globie: AHHHHHHH!

Chief: Godspeed, Chase and Globie.

Mike: (Globie) You want us to save Carmen and put on a funky christian musical?

Carmen: Either that or he wants them to open a Christian law firm.

Location: Central California
Year: Late 1930s

*** Time tunnel opens ***

*** Screams ***

All: (join the screaming)

Chase: Uh oh, sounds like trouble.

Tom: False alarm, that was just us.

Globie: I still say this was a bad idea!

Mike: If you're referring to writing this fic, yes it was.

Chase: No time for that discussion all over again. Let's go!

*** Chase and Globie runs ***

Carmen: Chase and Globie RUN. Oh, why do I bother with the grammar anymore?

Carmen: So good to see you, boys.

Both: CARMEN!

Carmen: (waving) Hi!

Five

Mike: (sings) ...months of bills!

*** Continuation of last act ***

Chase: What is it this time, Carmen?

Globie: Are you trying the "Labyrinth" thing again?

Tom: She's singing 'Dance Magic Dance?'

Carmen: No, I'm here to reconcile my mind and rejuvenate.

Crow: You know, like Doctor Who.

Tom: She has a Tardis? That might explain a few things...

Globie: Like we believe you.

*** Chase pulls out 'cuff cannon ***

*** Chase fires, misses ***

Mike:  (sarcastically) Nice shot.

Carmen: Nice try, Chase. But you have to do better than that.

Carmen: One thing myself and my thin facsimile agree on.

Globie: You are coming with me to the present, Carmen!

Carmen: I've had enough fun here, ACME. So good talking to you again.

*** Carmen C-5s out ***

Globie: Where will she strike next?

Chase: Look at the clue she left, Globie!

Globie: It's a box of popcorn from Yankee Stadium.

Chase: I get it! This box is from the 1940s, when Don Larsen threw a perfect game, which was just repeated
earlier this year by an another Yankee, David Wells!

Globie: OK, so let's set the ACME BCCC 3000s to New York, 1949!

Chase: Let's go! Take me out to the ball game...

Globie: CHASE!

Chase: Do I sound that bad?

All: YES!

*** Globie nods ***

Chase: Oh, never mind.

*** Time Tunnel appears, sucks both in ***

Location: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York
Year: 1949

Chase: Well, we're here, but no sign of Carmen.

Mike:  (dryly) Oh darn.

Globie: Look at that popcorn vendor over there. She's wearing a red hat!

Tom: And look at that lightpole over there! It's black!

Both: CARMEN!

Carmen: So, you figured my clue I left in 1930, boys. But you won't catch me again!

Carmen: You haven't even caught me ONCE.

Tom: No, but they have accidently killed you numerous times.. That's sort of like capturing you...

Crow: Nah, it's more like stuff around her spontaniously combusted.

*** Carmen runs ***

Globie: The game's about to end! One more pitch and Don Larsen makes it into the history books!

Chase: I'll watch over the game.

Mike: I've got box seats!

You go chase Carmen!

Six

Crow: Six...six.  (laughs evilly)

Mike: (whaps Crow)

*** Continuation of last act ***

Carmen: Come on, Globie! You can do better than that, can't you?

Carmen: I've actually been wondering that throughout this fic.

Globie: I'll hunt you down like a rabbit!

Carmen: Big talk, but not too much action, I'm afraid.

Crow: Sums up the whole fic, doesn't it?

*** Cheers from the stands ***

Carmen: Ciao.

Globie: Oh, no you don't!

*** Carmen Chronoskims out of 1949 ***

Globie: Barely missed her!

Carmen:  No, you completely missed me.

Chase: The game's over! Don Larsen has made it into the history books!

Tom: And he gave me his autograph!

Globie: Oh, goody.

Crow: (Scar)  Well forgive me for not LEAPING for joy...bad back, you know.

Now let's figure out this clue.

Chase: A statue of St. Francis?

Globie: I think she means Portugal.

Mike: And you guessed that...how?

Chase: But when? 1600s?

Globie: Look at the tag. It says, "Find me in the Orient."

Chase: Could she mean Calcutta?

Globie: Maybe. But it can also mean Nagasaki, Macao or Molucca. They're all Portuguese colonies, you know.

Chase: I put my money on...Nagasaki.

Tom: (a barker) Igot25onNagasaki25onNagasakigoingonce25onNagasaki25onNagasakisomebodyelsebidonNagaskai25onNagasaki

Globie: I'll go and check out Molucca.

Chase: Great. Sayonara.

Crow: Cuz she will never really die.

Mike: She's immortal!

Carmen: Well, I'd like to think so....

Crow: I meant in the FIC!

Carmen: Oh right....

Laurie: I'm going to help.

Carmen: And strike a blow for women everywhere.

Chief: No, Laurie, wait!

Tom:  You're just a girl!

Jaci: No stopping her, Chief. I'll stay.

Carmen: If ACME ever figure out the St. Francis clue, I'll jump onto one of the tracks.

Carmen: Ah! It's an Erin Mills fic now! Oh wait, Erin's usually have more plot than this.

Laurie: Maybe you should select a platform straight away!

Tom: Okay, where the hell did she get the clue from?  And how did she get there?

Carmen: (turns to him and is about to say something)

Tom:  Never mind, Globie fic, right...

Carmen: Laurie LeBlanc, the Gold Master Detective and CBC ACME Correspondent. So nice to see you!

Tom: Three time Olympic gymnast...

Chase: Oh, no you don't, Carmen!

Globie: Let's get her!

Crow: What?

Chase: There!

Laurie: Let's get her!

*** Carmen Chronoskims away, leaves clue ***

*** C-5 portal appears, sucks in ***

Tom: Sucks in what?

Carmen: All common sense?

*** C-5 portal reappears ***

Laurie: Freeze, Carmen! You're under arrest!

Carmen: Can't you please leave me in peace just for a little while?

Chase: Like we will.

Carmen: We can hope, can't we?

Globie: Carmen, why are you even here?

Mike: Ah...but why are any of us here?  That, my friend-

Tom: Stop the philosophy, Mike.

Chase: You're not intending to steal anything, so give up this charade and come back to the present with us!

Carmen: Never! I'm sick of the cat and mouse game in the present and I want to be left alone! So go away!

Tom: Now I'm off to write poetry on black paper with silver pens in lower case letters to my cat...

Carmen: Well...no...but I'm sure Carmine misses me....

Laurie: No!

Chase: Laurie!

Globie: Hyah!

Tom: Hikeeba!

Crow: Man it's been a while...

Carmen: I'm outta here.

All: (singin) I'm on my waayy...

*** Carmen escapes ***

Chase: NOOOOOO!

Mike: Does Globie just cut and paste that exclamation over and over?

Carmen and the 'bots: Yes.

Globie: Let's follow her.

Laurie: Let's try to contact the Chief.

*** Chief appears on Videophone screen ***

Mike: Globie listened to Laurie's idea...That's a first.

Chase: Chief! We've finally lost Carmen's trail!

Mike: Can we come home now?

Carmen: Mike, that would make sense..

Chief: I have a blip on the time tunnel map slightly sometime after 1808.

Laurie: What could be so important in 1808 that attracts Carmen's attention?

Chief: Beats me. Well, the blip has stopped on 1808, so better go there.

Crow: Chief, you just said it stopped after 1808.

Laurie: Then what are we waiting for?

Mike: CHRISTMAS?!

Chase: Setting ACME BCCC to 1808.

Globie: Powering up!

Year: 1808

Laurie: We're at the Symphony Hall.

Chase: Isn't that Beethoven over there?

Globie: Yep. And looks like he's here to perform his 5th and 6th symphonies!

Carmen: So now Globie rips off a "Where In Time" CD-ROM case.

Laurie: And we can bet that Carmen will be in the audience.

Chase: So, let's get some tickets and get into the symphony hall, catch Carmen, and go back to the present!

Globie: History mysteries are not wrapped up so simply, Chase.

Laurie: Well, well, well. Look over there! It's Carmen!

Tom: (Globie) Ok, so I was wrong...

All 3: Get her!

Carmen: You three again?

Laurie: What did you expect? The Royal Canadian Mounted Police?

Carmen: I was thinking of the FBI.

Crow: Just what we need, to get Mulder and Scully involved in this...

*** Time Tunnel appears, figures appear ***

Laurie: Ann and Polly!

Ann: Carmen!

All agents: GET CARMEN!

Carmen: Get Shorty!

*** All rush toward Carmen ***

Carmen: Sorry to break up this little charade, but I got to go. Buenos Aires 1982!

*** Carmen disappears ***

Polly: Buenos Aires? Was she trying to say "good day" in Spanish or the city of Buenos Aires?

Chase: I guess.

Mike: Oh THANKS Chase, that's a BIG help.

Ann: I think she means the Battle of the River Plate.

Globie: The battle was in 1939, not 1982. Also, it happened in Montevideo, not Buenos Aires.

Laurie: The Falkland Crisis!

All: That's it!

Chase: Let's go to Buenos Aires!

Polly: Fire up the engines!

All except Polly: What?

Ann: Oh, yeah. We brought along the Chronoskimmer ship.

Carmen: I'm here! Here!

Chase: Like that would help.

Crow:  He realizes this after he joins in the pointless shouting.

Globie: There she is! On the balcony!

Laurie: Get her!

Carmen: Can't you please leave me alone?

Carmen: Pretty please?

Chase: Like I don't think so.

Tom: Break the news to Jaci- Chase IS gay.

Laurie: Let you,

Globie: Carmen Sandiego,

Polly: Escape?

Ann: Ha!

Tom: We took acting courses from William Shatner!

All: Get her!

*** All tackle Carmen ***

All: FUMBLE!!

Carmen: Sayonara, agents. I hope you simply get off my trail!

Tom:  Wow, she got out of that quick...

*** Time Tunnel opens ***

Ann: Well, she's left us nothing again.

Crow: (Ann) Damn trick didn't pay us...

Carmen: Crow!

Chase: Chief, is there a blip on the time tunnel screen?

Chief: Nope.

Polly: Great. What will we do now?

Globie: Well, I dunno. We could try looking into the time tunnels manually.

Laurie: Great idea! Let's go!

*** Time Tunnel opens ***

Globie: OK, I'll go into the future, and the rest of you split up.

Crow:  There's just infinite time to search, how hard could it be to find Carmen?

Laurie: I'm coming with you.

Chase: No, I'm going with him.

Globie: No. I will go myself. Good-bye.

Tom: (Jiminy Cricket singing) When you wish upon a star....

Globie: Your wishing will just take you straight to prison, Carmen!

Carmen: You again? I thought you would have given up when I left you no clues!

Carmen: I shot the witnesses I burned the body, what more did you want form me?

Globie: ACME agents don't give up that easily!

Carmen: You can't beat me that easily, agent.

Globie: Unfortunately, your little bag of tricks from 1999 won't work in 2030, Carmen. So give it up.

Carmen: Yeah, right.

Carmen: Give up?  To YOU?  (laughs hysterically)

Tom:  Calm down, honey.

Globie: OK, you asked for it, Carmen. Chief!

*** Gold coloured Chief appears ***

Carmen:  I see Globie prefers the British spelling of "colored."

Globie: Was I kidding?

Crow:  I think we missed the joke here...

detective they kept him in the Chief's memory files.

Tom: Something tells me one night Globie sneaked into Acme and downloaded something into the mainframe...

Crow: An LSD tablet?

Globie: I will, Chief!

*** Time Tunnel opens, then closes ***

Chief: Godspeed, Globie.

Tom: Again with the musical theater!

--- To be continued ---

Carmen: Thank God...I think you two need a serious time out.  Let's go!

(Riffers exit the theater)
