Note from Echo: The Ninja Turtles don't belong to me (not sure who they do though) nor do the footclan, the Teletubbies, the Animorphs (KA Applegate's or Scholastic), Newsies (Disney), Star Wars and Obi-Wan, Sea Quest (Lucas, Tony, and Jim Brody included), The Shadow, and anyone else I may have missed. Brody, Brooklyn, Avalanche, Brooklyn, Echo, Dwight Yokum, Jonathan Brandis, and Ax belong to themselves. The chapstick, The Shady Dude, George, Steven, the flying boat and swimming plane all belong to me, and sorry if I missed something.

They're Coming to Take Me Away All Over Again
By: Echo

**The song, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas is playing in the background** (Echo: *shrug* So I've had Christmas songs stuck in my head lately... so what?!)

"She flipped me off!" Brody yelled indignantly.

I rolled my eyes. The moron thought I was flipping him off. Ha! I was doing no such thing. I was merely showing him my writer's hump. I was trying to will him away so that he would leave me alone... it wasn't working. It hadn't worked when I'd tried to will the art teacher into not giving us homework either. I was beginning to loose faith in my fifth... uh, sixth sense, that is.

I looked up as 'Elmo' walked in the door. He had pretty much avoided me since the last incident. "Hey Elmo! I was just talking to Jack and she said I could be an Animorph!" Brody yelled in that unbearably annoying voice of his.

I groaned, annoyed by the fact that he was calling me Jack again, and a little disappointed he hadn't forgotten the Elmo thing. Anyway, he had no clue that one animorph was going to die in the next book, so why not make him an animorph? Better him than Jake, Cassie, Rachel, Ax, Marco, or my Tobias.

I tried to ignore him and started drawing the Sanctuary (Animorphs fan club) sign on my notebook, then I started drawing it with an N for Newsies instead of the A. I never really finished. "The fish bit me!" I heard Brody yell from across the room. **Jaws music in background**

I smiled, it was about time the fish learned self defense after having candles and pixi sticks dumped into it's tank, and almost being eaten. "You won't leave me alone and my name isn't fish! I am Manutius. Now put me back in the tank and bugger off!" I heard an unfamiliar English voice say. I turned around and saw the fish laying on the ground, and Brody smiling idiodically. "Dude! The fish talked to me!"

I rolled my eyes... again. "Yeah right Brody."

"Excuse me, miss?" I heard the English voice say again and glared at Brody. "That's not funny Brody."

He laughed. "What? I'm not doing anything!"

"Yes, he's correct. Although I must say, I'm surprised. I would appreciate it if you didn't refer to me as Brody though, my name is Manutius." I stared at Brody suspiciously. Either he was a really good ventriloquist, or the fish was really talking. "How did you do that?"

I heard a groan come from the fish. "Really, you humans are all so ignorant. I keep telling you, he didn't do anything! Now would you please put me back in the tank?"

I nodded and put the fish back in it's tank. Suddenly there was a flash of light and I was standing in a flying boat over New York City. I looked around and saw Phili, Avalanche, Brooklyn and Psycho. "Phili?! Avalanche?! But-but... you guys are in Nebraska and Kansas!" **Twilight theme in background**

Phili pointed behind me. "We're being held hostage."

I turned around and saw the green cow named Steven. He glared. "You will not escape me now!" He held up Misty's driver's license. "Have you seen this girl?!"

We all looked at each other as Misty darted around behind him humming the mission impossible theme. "Uh... no."

"She's behind you!" A wooden indian (Like the kind in front of cigar shops) named George said.

The cow named Steven spun around and turned blue as Misty held up a loaf of moldy bread to hide behind. "All that's there is a floating loaf of bread!"

We grabbed a bottle of clear finger nail polish and painted ourselves with it so that we would turn transparent. After we were finished we ran to the helm and crashed the flying boat into the middle of Central Park. As we ran away from the flying boat and the cow named Steven, we heard a voice in the sky say, "See! They can't even fly a boat!"

When we got to the edge of Central Park a guy in a tan robe and Jack started fighting in front of us. Brooklyn, Phili, Psycho, and Avalanche all screamed. "Obi-Wan!!!!!!!" **Star Wars theme**

I glared at him and screamed as he pulled out a light saber. "NOOOOOO!!!!!! If you don't put that light saber down and fight fair I'll sic the Teletubbies on you!"

He froze and after he threw it down Jack beat the crap out of the stupid Jedi from the sissy movie! **Carrying the Banner overpowers Star Wars music** I cheered and hugged him, after collecting money from Brooklyn, Phili, Avalanche, and Psycho who were all sobbing. All of a sudden we heard a girl's voice screaming behind us. "Jack! No! You can't go with her! She'll take you to the sun and torture you!" I cringed as I realized it was Sarah Jacobs. **Super scary music like in educational videos** (Echo: Oh come on, like you have never noticed that educational videos have horror music playing in the background while they're showing you amoebas... talk about over dramatic!)

Just as she finished a mob of teenage girls ran up and jumped on Jack. "I've got his hat!!!!"

"Yeah?! Well, I got his bandanna!"

Just then Rover appeared out of nowhere. "Never fear, Brooklyn is here!"

**Indianna Jones music**The Brooklyn gang popped up with slingshots but were surprised from behind by another mob of screaming teenage girls. Just then the Animorphs showed up. Rachel morphed to a bear, Jake morphed to tiger, Cassie morphed to a wolf, Ax stayed as an andalite, Tobias stayed a hawk. The girls glanced at the group of fierce animals for half a second and then continued mobbing Jack and Spot... until Marco morphed to Dicaprio and scared them all away.

Tobias morphed to human and Phili and I stared at each other for a few seconds before running up to him and each grabbing an arm. Rachel noticed us fighting over him and ran towards us both angrily, still in bear morph. But before she got to us the footclan started fighting with the newsies and she had to help fend them off until the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles showed up. **Turtle Power plays in background** (Echo: T-U-R-T-L-E Power, T-U-R-T-L-E Power...)Jack looked at me and scratched his head, obviously confused. "Echo? Wasn't this fanfic supposed ta be about a new newsie?"

I, well, the other me that's Echo who was standing by Jack, shrugged. "I thought so... but who needs another fanfic about a girl who runs away to become a newsie and then falls in love with Rover?"

He nodded. "Yeah, I like dis a lot better.... In fact," He pulled out a fork and held it in the air, "By the power of the ferrets I uh... I what was the next line?"

Tinkerbell, another me, shrugged. "Want to turn into a knackworst?"

Michealangelo (the orange ninja turtle dudes! duh!) turned around and started to correct her but before he could Jack turned into a giant knackworst. Donatello (purple one) high fived Mike. "Tubular!"

Echo screamed. "Hey! They can't do that! That wasn't in the script!"

All of a sudden there was an annoying laugh coming from absolutely nowhere. "I am The Shady Dude." **Uh... Beethoven's 5th symphony?**

Echo, Brooklyn, and Psycho gave each other a, "What the heck?" look and asked. "The Shady Dude?"

A dude peeked out from behind a tree. "Yeah, The Shady Dude. Budget cuts... they couldn't get The Shadow."

We all just shrugged as he hid behind the tree again and started using his super person voice. "Now I shall turn all who do not know the code into high school principles and math teachers!" *insert screams of terror* "The water is wet!"

"But the ferrets aren't hungry!" Echo, Psycho, Phili, Brooklyn, Avalanche, the ninja turtles, Animorphs, and newsies screamed. The Shady Dude started what sounded like an evil laugh but ended up only hacking up a hairball. "Dang! Foiled again! But you'd all be math teachers and principles if it weren't for melted chapstick!"

We all started laughing as The Shady Dude started melting. Tears sprung out of his eyes as he yelled. "I knew it! No one cares about me, no one!"

Energizer, yet another me, jumped up. "I care!"

Everyone stared in horror as a rainbow shot out of her stomach and the theory that Carebears were only trying to help evaporated forever as the rainbow turned out to be a deadly ray that melted Spot! The Gabe Babes screamed angrily and started chasing Energizer who sicked her brother's cat, d-o-g on them. While Echo was crying over Jack the giant knockworst, Energizer was fending off all Gabe Babes, and Michealangelo and Blink, Dutchy and Donatelo, Rapheal and Skittery, and Leonardo and some dude named Dorcas were talking Agent E, my paranoid me, ran up. "Run! Run! Run! The green cow named Steven fixed his flying boat with the wooden indian named George and they are bringing the cats here to destroy us all while they hold the ferrets, Manutius the speech gold fish, and the chapstick tube in the moon hostage! We'll all be destroyed!"

Tinkerbell thought for a second. "Chapstick tube in the moon?"

Agent E shrugged. "Don't ask, I'm not the one writing it, she is!" She said pointing out of the computer to a teenage girl typing and staring at the computer screen. The girl freezes and blushes. "Hi... um.... back to Agent E." The little people in the computer continue to stare at her. "Uh... oh look! It's a swimming plane!"

**Sing, Sing, Sing plays** (Echo: Swing music! Kinda like the oreo cookie song...) They all turned to find the swimming plane (hey, if they can have flying boats...) resulting in ooh's and ah's and uh... other such intelligent comments. Dutchy pointed to the sky. "It's the flying boat!"

"Surrender! Or we shall be forced to make you watch Star Wars and listen to Dwight Yokum for the rest of your lives!" The wooden indian named George yelled and everyone screamed in terror.

Everyone started to scatter but some dude named Dorcas all pulled out a tube of red glowing melted chapstick. Energizer screamed. "No! It's the evil chapstick!"

"Use the borse Energizer...." The giant knackworst named Jack yelled as he started rolling down the hill with a frantic Echo chasing behind.

Tinkerbell scrunched up her nose. "The borse?"

Agent E snapped her fingers. "Oh course! The borse!" **Indianna Jones Theme again** (Echo: I like that theme song...) She pulled out a little bag of borse and threw it at Dorcas who sneezed and transformed into a giant pile of shaving cream. The newsies, ninja turtles, animorphs, and whoever else cheered... well, yelled enthusiastically. Sarah Jacobs, on the other hand, cheered. "Let's go! Let's fight! Let's go! Let's fight! Let's go let's... let's... yeah!"

**No music** Blink yelled for silence and everyone turned to him to ask what was wrong. He frowned. "The background music stopped playing!"

Everyone gasped in horror. "No background music?! But witout background music, what'll be playin' in da background?" Mush asked desperately.

Everyone turned as Sea Quest landed in Central Park and Lt. Jim Brody, Lucas, and Tony leaped off. Energizer screamed in delight until they all disappeared and all that was left was Jonathan Brandis in a director's uniform. "Okay, break it up. There's been a mix up and you're all in the wrong fanfic."

Everyone let out a disappointed "Aw."

The fish named Manutius walked up. "Yes, quite right. All of you get back! Nothing to see here!"

We all started shuffling disappointedly back to our places and everyone waved good bye sadly. Just when they were about back to where they were supposed to be a giant knackworst named Jack jumped onto a tree stump **We Are the Champions by Queen** and pointed out to everyone that we outnumbered Manutius and so we mobbed the fish and Jonathan Brandis, who was once again replaced with Sea Quest, Jim Brody, Piccolo, Lucas, and the other Sea Quest crew. And so they all lived insanely ever after in their own insanity (where Echo, Psycho, Brooklyn, Phili, and Rachel never saw Brody again) and deranged fanfic for ever and ever... *camera angle switches to the girl typing again* She looks up and groans. "Oh not you again! Look please just stick to reading the story!" She sighs when the camera doesn't move. "What do you want? Credits?! No thank you. Okay, bye! May the borse be with you along with melted chapstick, swimming planes (the good side, the flying boats are the bad side), and all that other good stuff. Anyway, that's quite enough so now get in your own cell and bounce off your own rubber walls! These are mine I tell you!"
