 Chapter One

By Leus

            "How long have I waited for ye to return?" Gwyneth wrote from her spot on the beach.  It was the same spot she'd gone to wait nearly every day for the past 17 years.  She looked quite posh in her embroidered silk gown.  It was the same gown Marilyn had given her for their first year's anniversary, shortly after which Marilyn had disappeared.  Now all Gwyneth had to remember her by was the gown and a note which simply read, "Wait for me."
            Gwyneth sighed.  "I know our love was a forbidden one," she continued writing, "and I know we weren't together long."  She paused.  "To me, though, these seem all the more reason to miss you so," she wrote on.  "Our love was true, outside the bounds of social conduct, and only existing because of its purity.  And it was cut short.  So much has been left unsaid and undone.  If only I would see your face one last time I'd likely die from happiness."  Gwyneth paused once more to set her parchment down and dip her quill in its ink well.
            "Yet," she wrote once more, "I do not write this letter to say that I've given up on such hope.  I only intend to leave you some sort of message, should you return and I not be here.  And I'd love, in such a message, to spend hours letting the ink flow from my quill tip and spell out the countless ways in which you're irreplaceable to me, but the truth of the matter is that words are ultimately inept as means to such an end.  So I will merely state that which is all that I can say and that which you surely already know:  I am thinking of you, dear Marilyn."
            She sighed once more.  "Yours always, Gwyneth," she concluded the letter.  She then rolled the parchment up and slid it into a knothole in the old tree stump beside which she sat.  She knew that Marilyn would look for it there as it was the same spot they'd used to exchange their messages before they'd gained the courage to begin meeting in private.
            Being free to wait idly once more, Gwyneth set her eyes on the horizon over the sea.  In the distance she saw a ship.  She wondered if Marilyn was on board.  It was true that Marilyn hadn't given any specific indication of departing by way of ship, but she had always been fascinated with the sea.  She'd said that the waves put her in touch with the nature of the world, and that the omnipresence of the ocean on the earth made her feel at peace.
            As Gwyneth continued to watch the ship she noticed it begin to draw nearer.  Her hear swelled up with hope as it had so many times before, and she closed her eyes and began to dream.  She remembered when she and Marilyn had first met nearly two decades ago at the spot at which Gwyneth now sat.  They had conversed for several hours and even shared their first kiss that very night.
            Gwyneth now imagined the ship before her approaching and floating to a stop aside the old wooden dock a few yards ahead.  She imagined Marilyn stepping off, her dazzling blue eyes glinting in the sunlight and a big, bring smile on her lips.  A similar smile spread across Gwyneth's own face, and a feeling of warmth permeated her body.  Her blissful expression was preserved forever as a long sword swung forcefully through her neck and severed her head from her body, sending her smiling face rolling to a halt in the sand.
            "Bloody HELL, Daniel!" Nicolas exclaimed.  "That was a bit over the top, wasn't it?"
            "Look at her," Daniel retorted, motioning to her face which was quickly draining of color.  "Now whatever thought she was enjoying will occupy her eternal final moment!  She's in an interminable state of euphoria!"
            "Have you been smoking opium already this morning?" Nicolas inquired as he began to search the body.
            "Quite a bit, actually," Daniel replied.  "And a few glasses of absinthe as well.  Though, to be fair, I started last evening and haven't slept since."  Nicolas put his face in his palm.  "Besides," Daniel continued, "I'm sure she's loaded anyway."
            "She hasn't got anything on her but this bloody dress and it's all..." Nicolas hesitated.  "Bloody!"
            "Oh," said Daniel, taken slightly aback.  He then realized he was leaning much too far to his left and would soon fall.  He futilely tried to reposition his center of gravity over his base of support, failed, lost his balance, and staggered several yards to the left.  Right as he was about to regain his footing he ran into a tree and fell over.  Nicolas sighed.
            "And on top of all this," Nicolas continued as Daniel groaned in a disoriented fashion, "now we can't even defile her!"
            "Well why not?" Daniel inquired, leaping to his feet.  He strolled over and slashed the gown off of the headless corpse.  "There you are."
            "Alright," said Nicolas, "if this whole situation wasn't excessively...  Excessive...  Before, it certainly is now."
            "Right," Daniel confirmed.  "Let's go.  That ship out there is getting awfully close anyway."

 

Chapter Two

By Amedeus

            Cletus and Abe watched the two men run into the distance. Cletus quitely tried to decipher whether they were just fine staying on their bench, or whether the injuns were attacking again. He didn't see any at the moment, but they were crafty. They could be hiding inside the very wood of the bench, for all he knew.
            Abe, on the complete other hand, went back to his business staring at the pidgeons that were slowly advancing upon them. He knew they wanted the gingersnaps he was keeping in his pocket in case he got hungry, or bored, or lonely later in the day. If he could just stare them down, they might feel overpowered and leave.
            "I think we might have an injun problem, Abe," Cletus said in a hushed tone.
            "Eh!?" Abe announced, quite concisely.
            "Injuns, Abe! They're here. I know they are, they've found us. They want their revenge for what we did to them back in 1836! I knew they'd find us, eventually!"
            "You old codger, there ain't been no injuns for at least 23 years, and you weren't even alive in 1836!"
            "They've got to you, too! I'm sorry, Abe, but this is for the best."
            "What are you blabberin' about?" Abe inquired, but it was too late. Cletus had already raised his cane. And with a mighty blow, he hit Abe directly in the knee. Abe howled with pain and stood up, tried to jump around on his other knee, failed, fell on his face, and took a nap.
            "I'm sorry it had to be this way, Abe," Cletus told him, feeling slightly down about losing his best friend since they came over on the Mayflower, "But there was nothin' either of us could do anymore." And with that, he stoof up and began to hobble off in an unspecified direction.
            He only got about ten seconds into his race back to Custer's HQ to rally the men when he was knocked down flat by some large black object.
            "Are you alright?" the man in the shades, black suit, and black hat carrying a black briefcase asked. The old man got up and wandered off without so much of a, "Yes. Yes I am." The shaded man continued towards his destination.
            He reached it without much trouble. It was only a little ways down the boardwalk. He sat the briefcase down momentarily next to the lamp post to light a cigarette. Not ten seconds went by before a man dressed exactly like him wandered up and stated, "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane."
            "Sorry, wrong guy," the first man told him.
            "Oh, sorry," the slightly younger man who looked exactly like him said, before heading to the next lamp post down and repeated the phrase to the man dressed exactly like the both of them standing there. He heard the third man say something back and then handed the slightly younger look-alike a briefcase. The slightly younger look-alike then started walking out towards the street.
            The first man looked back towards the direction where the man he was meeting would come from, and the man he was meeting was already coming from it. He was dressed in a black suit, a black hat, and some snazzy plain black shades.
            "Don't cry for me, Argentina," the man said.
            "It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to," the first man said back. The man he was meeting picked up the case and walked off as though it were his. The first man then waited eight-point-thirty-seven minutes before walking down to the beach to work on tanning his unclothed legs. They needed it. He stopped and turned around.
            He stared at the tree for a minute before continuing to his destination. He swore he saw a Native American behind it, but he must have been mistaken. They don't even exist anymore.

 

Chapter Three

By Leus

            "Did he see me?" Trotting Cow wondered nervously to himself as he peered around the tree.  Searching the area, he found no trace of the black-suited pinkskin.  Trotting Cow breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to the boardwalk.  As he began making his way there, he tripped over something and fell face-first into the sand.  Coughing and spitting, he rolled over to see what had caused such a travesty.
            Before him lie a naked and headless corpse.  "By the gods!" he exclaimed.  He hadn't seen anything this gruesome since his days on the battlefield.  Covering his mouth and nose, he cautiously approached the body.  It looked as if it had been beheaded with a clean chop.
            As he glanced to the side something else caught his eye.  He immediately recognized it as the head.  He gagged and nearly doubled over.  After a second he regained his composure and stared at the smiling face of the dead woman.  A tear came to Trotting Cow's eye and dropped down his cheek.  He knew he had to provide this woman a ceremonial burial to deliver her safely into the afterlife.  He began to dig at the base of the tree stump.
            After a while the hole was big enough.  He carried the body over to the hole and laid it on its back aligned with the head.  Then he looked around, surveying the area.  Upon spotting no one, he reached over and gave the woman's breast a good squeeze.  "Hm," he concluded.  He then carefully lowered her body into the grave and set the head in place at the top.  After burying the woman, Trotting Cow made his way to the boardwalk.
            Upon reaching his destination he began casually sauntering along, scanning the faces in the crowd as they passed by.  An old lady.  A bearded man.  An elegantly-dressed woman.  Two young black guys.  "Aha!" Trotting Cow exclaimed.  He strolled over to the black gentlemen and nonchalantly cleared his throat.  The men paid him no heed.  Trotting Cow rolled his eyes and quietly said, "Hey, you guys."
            One of the men looked up, looked behind him, saw no one, and then realized he was being addressed by this Native American fellow.  "Yeah?" he replied.
            "You guys holdin'?" the Native American inquired.
            "Not yet," the black guy said with a chuckle of interest.
            "How much you want?" the Native American queried.
            "Eh, jus' a dub fo' now, mane," the black guy requested.  The Native American reached into his pocket and the black guy did the same.  In a few seconds they were casually shaking hands, but secretly a transaction was going down.  "Thanks, man," the black guy said.
            "No problem," the Native American replied.  "If you ever see me around here again, you know what's up."
            "Word," the black guy responded, and they went their separate ways.
            "Yo, Ty, lemme see that shit," the other black guy requested of his friend as they strolled along.  Ty glanced back and forth.  He spotted an alley that looked promising.  He began walking and motioned for his friend to follow, but quickly turned to find him distracted by a group of young and scantily-clad girls.
            "Ey!  Jerry!" Ty shouted.  The other black guy turned to Ty.  "Over here mane!"  The two made their way into the alley and crouched down.  Ty busted out the bag.
            "Yo, lemme see it," Jerry reiterated, extending his arm towards Ty and opening his hand expectantly.  Ty placed the bag in his compadre's palm, and Jerry drew it back.  He placed his nose in the opening and breathed deep, his eyes slowly falling closed in the process.  After a second of reveling, he emitted a satisfied sigh.  "That smell like some good-ass weed, nigga," Jerry declared.
            "Can't go wrong wit' da Indians," Ty assured his friend.  "Feathers, not dots," he amended.  Jerry nodded.  There was a pause.  "Well, let's smoke that shit then," Ty suggested.  He reached into his pocket and procured a small glass pipe and a lighter.  Jerry rubbed his hands together eagerly.

 

Chapter Four

By Amedeus

            Linda saw smoke coming from the alleyway and, being the sound-minded individual she was, called 911 and reported the fire. They said they'd send someone down right away, and she knew it wouldn't be long since this was a primarily white neighborhood.
            Her good deed done, she turned back around to see where all the people walking past her were going. And then she saw it:
            A juggler.
            There were two men, one standing on the others' shoulders, dressed up as one person. Both men were juggling. The outfit was extra-long and white. With big, exaggerated buttons going down it. But then men underneath it were dressed all in black and it was easy to see them through the white outfit.
            She looked around. There must've been about twenty people (including herself) watching this. On any normal day there weren't even this many people on one section of the boardwalk, but she guessed Thursdays can get busy.
            There was a group of four friends in their twenties over here, consisting of a girl and three guys who desperately wanted in her pants. Over there was a girl whose pants nobody wanted to get into. In front of her was a man with his son on his shoulders. There was a young couple to her right. An old one to her left. A creepy old, fat, bald man was behind her making creepy old, fat, bald man sounds. Three teenage girls were a few people away from her, laughing about who slept with who, but still watching the show. One man was standing alone, trying his best to be a part of the crowd while looking around nervously. And three random normal-looking people were scattered throughout.
            The woman known only as "Scarlet" sensed the woman, Linda, thinking all this. She was almost offended at being thought of as someone whose pants nobody wanted to get into, but that's what happens when you don these disguises. She stopped.
            She sensed a group of young gang members getting closer. They were of Spanish descent. She could sense their accents.
            "'Ey, keep the fuck up, holmes. We're not stoppin' for you to catch up."
            They were close enough now that she could hear them speak.
            "Shut the fuck up, ese. You fuckin' pendejo. You know I can't walk uphill. It's bad for my heart, mang."
            "It's bad for your STOMACH, ese. 'Ey, this mothafucker ate too many fuckin' puppies, mang. I KNOW that's what happen to my nana's poodle, maricon!"
            "'Ey, shut the fuck up mang, you know I don't eat no dogs. I ain't no Venezualan bullshit! Fuckin' puta."
            "Venezualan? Maricon, you mean VIETNAMESE! Mang, you so fuckin' stupid, ese, tha's why you so fat!"
            "Shut the fuck up, mang, you know you just embarrassed by your bitty pinga!"
            This continued for about a minute, before Scarlet began to notice a firetruck's sirens in the distance. Immediately, she saw a young black man run out of a nearby alley.
            "Shit, nigga, tha po-lice! I can't go back ta prison, man! Yo, c'mon!"
            Another young man followed immediately behind.
            "Oh shit snap fuck, damn, nigga!"
            A much larger, balder, and darker black man came running out behind the two of them. She sensed he was a very silent type, usually forgotten about in conversation until it was time for action.
            The three ran into the distance, and Scarlet turned her attention back to the juggler.

 

Chapter Five

By Leus

            "Ey, check that out, holmes," one of the Mexicans said, gesturing to the duo of street performers.  "Let's hold this crowd up.  I hear there's good money in juggling."
            Luckily for probably nobody, Scarlet was not only psychic but a deep-cover elite government operative.  She reached into her coat and grabbed her Desert Eagle.  The Mexican had no sooner grabbed the hilt of his Glock than his chest exploded and he went staggering backwards with force, falling flat on his back almost immediately.
            "JUAN!" one of the Mexicans screamed.  He pulled out his Glock, aimed at the woman and fired.  He missed.  He hit the dad, who fell over, sending his kid tumbling to the ground.  Firing again, he caught Scarlet in the side.  She dropped to one knee and lost her grip on her weapon.  It clattered to the boardwalk.
            "Son," the man said weakly.  The boy crawled closer to his father.  The man was wheezing painedly.  "Son...  I wanted you to know...  I love you."  The boy smiled.  "But you aren't mine."  He then groaned himself into death.
            The boy threw his arms up to the sky.  "NO!" he exclaimed in a drawn-out fashion.  He then picked up the Desert Eagle and gunned down three of the Mexicans.
            "PEDRO!  PABLO!  EUSTACE!" the original screaming Mexican--who was now the final remaining Mexican--screamed once more.  He took aim at the kid, but the crafty little bastard did a rolling dodge behind the fat gross guy.  The Mexican popped off a shot and caught the fat guy in the gut.  The fat guy only seemed to be enraged by this.  He began "sprinting" headlong at the Mexican, yelling animalistically.  The Mexican frantically fired off several more shots into the fat guy who finally toppled to the ground and lie still at the Mexican's feet.  The Mexican wiped his brow.  "Whew," he declared.
            The kid began firing off more shots.  The Mexican had forgotten about him and was taken off-guard.  He caught a bullet to the throat and went down.  One of the kid's shots went astray, though, and found its way to the kneecap of the lower circus performer.  The tower of humans, who had since ceased to juggle, toppled over.  When they stood up and emerged from their comically oversized suit, they were each dual-wielding Uzis.  They opened fire.  The old couple went down.
            The three dudes who wanted in that slut's pants were drawn from their sexual urges to the superior urges of violence.  They dashed over to the fallen Mexican gang and looted their weapons, turning back to the crowd to open fire.  The ugliest one popped a shot off into the belly of the trio's mutual seductress, who fell to her knees.  "Bitch!" he shouted.  He then took an Uzi spray to the forehead and hit the boardwalk.
            The boy, who had been hiding behind various carcasses, quickly made his way to his fake dad's side.  As he watched the color drain from the man's face, a tear welled up in his eye.  Before it had a chance to drop, the boy caught a stray bullet to the leg.  He yelped in pain, rolling over to try and find the culprit.  He couldn't tell who it was.
            The lone man in the crowd was a recent mafia initiate and had been waiting to complete a shady transaction.  He was armed, and since everything had plunged into complete chaos, he mused aloud, "hell, why not?" and withdrew his Beretta, snapping off some random shots.  After killing another of the two remaining horny dudes, he took a random bullet to the kidney and doubled over in pain.  The boy limped to the man's side and took his weapon, now dual-wielding a Beretta and a Desert Eagle.  He opened fire on the crowd while simultaneously shouting incoherently through tears, taking out Linda and the young couple.  He then turned his aim to the Uzi-wielding circus performers.
            One of the performers was struck in the left eye.  His shades shattered and flew off, hitting the ground after the man himself did.  The other performer mowed the kid down.
            "Stephanie!" one of the teenage girls screamed to another, "don't you have your dad's revolver?"  The addressed girl donned an enlightened expression and began digging through her purse.  She pulled her weapon out, but the remaining performer saw it and gunned her down.  One of her friends picked up the revolver and aimed.  The performer gunned her down too.  The remaining girl reached for the gun but quickly joined her hole-filled friends on the ground.  The performer laughed, then cringed as he accidentally put weight on his damaged knee.  All of a sudden his chest felt cold.  He turned to see the remaining man who no longer wanted in anyone's dead-ass pants, smoking gun in the palm of his outstretched arm.  The performer looked shocked, then brought his hand up to feel his chest.  His fingers became lathered in something warm and sticky.  He glanced down.  It was, as he expected, his own mortal blood.
            The performer began gasping for air.  Each breath caused him immense pain.  His murderer stood there, arm still extended, in shock.  With his last bit of strength, the performer pointed his weapon at the man and squeezed the trigger.  The man fell to the ground, having taken a single bullet to the lung.  He grasped his chest.  "I can't believe I'm gonna die a virgin!" he screamed in his mind.  "I guess no one will ever find out about my two-inch schlong, though."  Scarlet laughed aloud before drawing her final breath.  The remaining injury-sustaining survivors bled out as well, and the three random normal people were left standing unscathed.
            "Uh," said one after a long pause.  "What?"

 

Chapter Six

By Amedeus

            Wow, there's no way I can beat that. So I'm not even gonna try.
            Just know that, after that, one of those weird shades-wearing dudes all in black wandered upon the scene, came up to the body of one of the dead shades-wearing juggler dudes in black and said, "The fish flies at dawn." He then stood in front of the body for, like, eight and three-quarters minutes before walking onto the next corpse and doing the same thing. Except that two (and probably three-quarters) minutes into it this time, a stray bullet that had been fired earlier flew straight down and caught him in the head.
            It exploded in a brilliant fashion. With, like, a vibrant display of... awesome. And blood. It was cool.
            The three normal guys just kinda stood around there watching this. Then they walked away down the street together. Or something, I wasn't really paying attention.
            My bad.

            Fuck you.

 

Chapter Twelve
Leus is a Dick

By Amedeus

            As the three normal guys entered the bowling alley with Gary the Orangutan and the triplets they realized something was horribly wrong!
            The no longer had the antimatter converter ray.
            How on Earth (or Saturn) were they going to convert antimatter from across the room now? A good portion of the city was royally screwed unless they did something soon. Gary rolled himself into a really lumpy bowling ball and rolled down lane three. He knocked down only the 3, 4, and 10 pins causing the secret lair to open again and they went inside to decide their next course of action.
            "'Sup," Jeff said.
            "'Sup," the three normal guys said.
            They sat down at the '80s-style hot pink and blue infrared retromap. It revealed that the Keymaster was still on 985th street. Luckily, it would be built in just two years and they'd finally be able to find him and sort this whole thing out.
            But what to do 'til then?
            Surely there must be something somewhere worth finding, manhandling, and defeating.
            Their antinonnavigation ray was unable to find any coordinates worth antinonnavigating to from across the room.
            They sat around for a good eighty-three and fourty-two fourty-thirds minutes before any of them conceived a plan baby.
            "We should go outside," one of them said.
            "Good plan," another of them said.
            "I have nothing valuable to say," another one said. And he was right.
            The three normal guys went outside to seek their fortune. But it was kind of muggy out, with a chance of boring so they went back inside.
            Just then, the ancient troll demon gimp (of the domination variety AND the cripple variety) broke free of his/her inescapable eternal prison. The three normal guys sprung into action. Or would have if they remembered anything about an ancient troll demon gimp, who happened to also be a transvestite on weekends.
            The three normal guys realized that they had no idea what was going on.
            At all.
            "What the hell," one of them said.
            "Yeah, seriously," another of them said.
            "I have nothing valuable to say," another one said. And he was right.
            The three normal guys worked together as a team to deduce that they were somehow in the wrong chapter. They must have missed like eight, they decided together. So they got out the antichaptrialization ray and set it to "stun". Then they put it down while it warmed up.
            They spent the next fifty-six and four twenty-thirds seconds having incredible goodbye sex with the triplets (who they learned during that time were named Leslie, Leslie, and Tom).
            The ACRonym finally properly in heat, they rocketed back eight chapters from across the room.
            They found themselves in the forbidden boundaries of the dreaded...

 

Chapter Four

By Leus

            The three normal guys looked around the room.  It appeared to them more or less the same as it had in Chapter 12.  They decided to venture outside and see what was new--or, as one might argue, old--with the world.
            They made their way to the boardwalk.  There they found a familiar scene:  A moderately large group of people watching a stack of circus performers in a giant coat juggling.  The three normal guys knew their past selves were in this crowd, and they also knew that if they weren't careful they could create a time paradox.  So they walked up to the crowd.
            "Wussup?" one of the guys said to a group of three teenage girls that were sitting around gossiping and enjoying the show.
            "Not too much," one of the girls responded to one of the guys.  The guys are all manly and hot, by the way.  So are these girls.  Except the manly part.  It'd be sweet if they were all getting it on right now.
            "Hey, you wanna get it on right now?" the hottest and suavest of the guys asked.
            "Not right now," the dumbest and ugliest girl replied.  "We're busy."
            "But you're going to die here!" another guy said.  And he was right.  The girls looked a bit put off by this seemingly unprecedented outburst.
            "So, anyway, what are your names?" the guy with the second best attributes inquired.  The girls immediately forgot about the death claim.
            "I'm Leslie," one of them said, then gesturing to her friends.  "This is Leslie, and this is Stephanie."
            "Wait a second," one of the guys said, onto something.
            "Well, my real name is Tom, but I go by Stephanie because I'm supposedly a girl," Tom said.
            "I KNEW IT!" one of the guys announced.  "Wait, supposedly?"
            "Well, yeah, I'm actually a dude.  Why do you think my name is Tom?" Tom replied.
            "What a coincidence," the hottest and suavest dude responded.  "I'm actually a girl!"
            "No way," said Tom half-heartedly.
            "Yeah, but unfortunately I'm a lesbian, so even if our respective groups mutually decided to bone, you'd still be left out," the hottest and suavest chick explained.
            "I'm okay with it," Tom said.
            "Well, it was nice seeing you again," the middle dude said.
            "What?" one of the Leslies asked suspiciously.
            "Oh, nothing," the ugliest hot dude said.  "Don't worry about it."  The trio walked away from the trio.
            "Man, this keeps making less and less sense," the middle dude said.
            "And how," the ugliest dude said.
            "BRO!  WHAT'S UP!" a black dude said as he walked up to the trio.  The middle dude slapped the black dude's hand and then pounded fists with him.  Another two black dudes were with this black dude.
            "What's up, Jerry?" the middle dude said.  "Guys, this is Jerry.  Jerry, this is Leslie and Stephanie."
            "But the 'ie' is silent," Stephanie chimed in.  "Although for some reason the name Tom is starting to sound appealing."
            "Sup guys?" Jerry said.  He gestured to his friends and said, "This here is Ty and T.J."  He then gestured to the trio of white people.  "Guys, this is Leslie and his friends."
            "Shit is getting way too confusing way too fast," the female Leslie chimed in.  "Let's wrap this up and get on with it."
            "Hey, you got any weed?" the male Leslie asked the black dudes.
            "What do you think?" Jerry said, pointing to his skin.  Then the six of them smoked up.

 

Chapter Four Cliffnotes

By Amedeus

            -There are three trios.
            -One trio consists of three guys, and one consists of three girls. Except one of the guys is a girl and vice versa. The girl guy is still a lesbian though. It's unknown at this point whether the guy girl is gay.
            -The girls consist of two girls named Leslie and a guy named Tom.
            -Tom is a girl too but actually a guy, so he goes by Stephanie (pronounced Stephanie).
            -The guys consist of a guy named Leslie, a girl named Leslie, and a guy named Stephanie (pronounced Stephan).
            -Stephanie likes the name Tom.
            -The black guys are Ty (possibly short for TyRon - keep speculating, guys!) T.J., and Jerry.
            -The black guys are all guys. Don't even try and imagine them as other. They're guys. We've checked.
            -Leus is a guy who moonlights as a woman. Amedeus is a guy who moonlights as also a guy. Wiz is always a woman.

            Leslie, Leslie, Stephanie, Ty, T.J., and Jerry were all smokin' up in the alley as they discussed the guys' next move. The black guys suggested that the guys try and stop the whole shootout from going down.
            "Yeah," Leslie said, "But we don't want to mess with the timeline or anything."
            "Wait," Leslie said, "Didn't the girls die last time?"
            "Oh shit, yeah," Leslie said, "But wait. They were in Chapter 12. Alive."
            "Maybe they were ghosts," Stephanie suggested.
            "That's stupid," Leslie said.
            "Yeah, dude, we had SEX with them," Leslie said, "They were real."
            "And that was better for some of us than others," Leslie said.
            "Wait," Stephanie stopped them, "Why's that?"
            "Because you had the guy? Duh?" Leslie said.
            "No, I had... I had Leslie," Stephanie thought.
            "No," Leslie said, "You had Tom."
            "Wait, hold on, which one's a girl?" Stephanie asked.
            "I thought they were all girls? Or guys. Or something," Leslie said.
            "Wait, okay, which one of US is a girl?" Stephanie revised.
            "I think I am," Leslie said.
            "No, I thought it was me," Leslie said.
            "I remember it was Leslie," Stephanie remembered.
            "Yeah, but... but which Leslie?" Leslie said.
            "No, it was definitely me," Leslie said.
            "Okay, which Leslie are you?" Leslie said.
            "I don't even remember. This is like all running together. I think there are like four of us now," Leslie said.
            "Hold on, let me check the cliffnotes," Stephanie suggested, and pulled out the notes he had taken during the last chapter to help himself out.

Revised Chapter 4 Cliffnotes

-Everybody's a girl, and everybody's named Leslie.

            "Oh shit," Leslie said.
            "Yeah, that's gonna get confusing," Leslie said.
            "Who said that?" Leslie said.
            "I don't know. Did I?" Leslie said.
            "I think it was one of the black chicks," Leslie said.
            "Hey, so are we gonna save the Leslies or what?" Leslie said.
            "Yeah, sure, I think that might be good now that we're all... them... also Leslie... something... Ow," Leslie said.
            "Yeah, we'll run out right after the sirens start. That's when the shootout started last time," Leslie said.
            "Wait, I think it already started," Leslie said.
            "When?" Leslie said.
            "When we were doing some shit in here, I'd guess," Leslie said.
            "Yeah, there's definitely gunshots out there. And a bunch of Latina chicks yelling," Leslie said.
            "Hey, I hear the sirens," Leslie said.
            "Why are they late?" Leslie said.
            "SERIOUSLY GUYS. OW. I THINK I NEED A HEAD DOCTOR," Leslie said.
            "Dude, we need to fix this Leslie thing," Leslie said.
            "What? Who said my name?" Leslie said.
            "Leslie did," Leslie said.
            "No I didn't," Leslie said.
            "Not you, Leslie said."
            "Wait, did you just say you said that?" Leslie said.
            "Okay, this is getting obnoxiously fucked up, AND the joke stopped being funny like before this chapter even started," Leslie said.
            "SOMEBODY PLEASE CALL BEN CARSON," Leslie said.
            "You mean Leslie," Leslie said.
            "FUCK. Give me that notepad," Leslie said. Leslie gave Leslie the notepad and Leslie flipped to a new page and wrote on it.

Chapter 5: Let Me Be Lesl(ie?) Cliffnotes

-Fuck the Revised Chapter 4 Cliffnotes.

            "I feel weird," Leslie said.
            "Shit, it didn't work!" Ty exclaimed.
            "Wait, no, it did! Look! You're Ty!" Stephanie also exclaimed.
            "Oh shit!" Jerry exclaimed, because he couldn't think of anything better to do than exclaim. What a copycat douche.
            "Quick, let's run out and see what's going on!" Leslie said.
            "Good call," Stephanie agreed. The Leslies and Stephanie ran out into the street to see what was going on.
            "Man, that was some good shit," Ty noted.
            The guys got out into the street and found that the shootout was still occuring. They saw the girls were in trouble and ran over to help them. Leslie lept on Tom and forced him to the ground. He then watched as a bullet flew over him in stoner slow-motion and hit Stephanie in the head. He fell, dead.
            The other Leslie ran over and knocked down one of the other Leslies and the same happened, only this one hit guy Leslie, who was standing right beside her.
            Stephanie shoved the remaining Leslie to the ground and watched a bullet fly Matrix-style in front of his face and pop girl Leslie, who was not really paying attention like a dumbass. Then he lept to the ground himself.
            After the shooting died down, the guys and girls stood up. They looked around at all the dead bodies around them. Nobody said, "What?" The guys looked down at themselves, who were now dead on the ground instead of the girls. This probably wasn't good.
            Then they remembered that the girls were alive at the end of the other timeline. They figured maybe that happened to them, too. Then realized that if it did, there would be six Leslies again.
            "Yeah, sorry about this," Leslie said and the three guys picked up whatever weapons were nearby them and shot up the girls.
            "Man. I think we just saved our heads from exploding," Stephanie reflected, before putting an extra bullet through their dead selves' heads, because Jesus that would have still been damn confusing.
            "Maybe shit will finally start making sense around here," Leslie said.
            "Okay, not yet," Leslie said, "Call me Carl from now on. And you - you're Tom. Okay? Fucking Tom. And girl Leslie? You're Erin. Wait, no, because Aaron. Uh. Katrina. You. Are Katrina."
            "Got it," Katrina acknowledged.

 

Chapter Six
This is Dumb

By Leus

            "This is dumb," said Tom.  "Let's do something else."  Katrina, Tom and Leslie--because Carl is a gay name--all strolled off to find something else to do.  After they did something else, they decided they needed to go bowling.  The three set off on a quest to go bowling.
            On their way to the bowling alley Katrina spotted something on the ground.  It was a piece of paper.  She picked it up and read it.  "(Sunday)  SUNDAY!  Sunday..." it read.  "LIVE, only at the Supercenter, a composite of the world's best free money away-givers."
            "Well that was a waste of time," Katrina said, crumpling up the paper and throwing it on the ground.  She then had a hearty chuckle at how unexpected it was that she didn't care about getting free money.  They then entered the bowling alley.
            "STRIKE!" Leslie shouted victoriously.
            "We haven't even gotten our shoes yet," Katrina said.
            "What?" Leslie queried quizzically.  "But we've been here for like an hour."
            "I know.  I guess we've just been standing here," Katrina said.  The three of them made their way to the counter.
            "I'll take a size nine," said Tom.  Leslie laughed.
            "I'll take a size fifteen," Leslie said.  Tom raised an eyebrow at Leslie.  Leslie nodded in confirmation.
            "I'll take a size negative four," Katrina said.
            "I get it, 'cause you have a vagina," Leslie said.  They had like the fifth hearty laugh in the chapter so far before making their way to the lanes.  Leslie lost because his giant dick threw him off balance.  Katrina lost because women can't do shit.  Tom won because he did less shitty than his friends.
            "Good game, guys," Tom said.
            "Yeah, for YOU!" Leslie said snarkily.
            "Well jeez," Tom said, taken aback by Leslie's poor sportsmanship.
            "This is still dumb," said Katrina.  The three reached a mutual agreement on the matter and they decided that action must be taken to make things less dumb.
            "I've got an idea," said Leslie.  "Let's do something important."
            "Good call," said Tom.  "But what?"
            "I think the better question is 'what's important?'  Is there an objective definition of importance that can be universally agreed upon, or is importance a value judgement specific to each individual?" Katrina posed.  The two males paused to deeply reflect on this.  Katrina  got distracted because she got her period.
            "Sup guys?" a familiar voice inquired.  The trio glanced over to see their good and trusted friend, Gary the Talking Ape III.
            "Gary!" the trio exclaimed with glee.  They all ran up and hugged their furry friend, who encompassed the three of them in a long-armed hug of his own.
            "Even though I'm just meeting you guys, I will accept this offering of physical affection," the orangutan stated nobly.
            "Oh yeah," said Leslie, drawing back.  "The time paradox."
            "Oh," said Gary, a worried tone entering his voice.  "Then it is as I feared."
            "What is it Gary?" Tom inquired.
            "There's no time to explain," Gary said.  "We have to go now!"
            "You don't have time for a game first?" Tom proposed.
            "Well," Gary said, hesitating.  "Alright.  But just one.  Then we really have to go."  The trio cheered.  Gary kicked all of their asses.  He did, after all, spend most of his time in the alley, and had become quite the whiz on the lanes.
            "In yo FACE!" Gary taunted victoriously.
            "This isn't getting any less dumb," Leslie chimed in.
            "I have a feeling it's about to," Gary said dramatically.

 

Chapter Seven
It's Not

By Amedeus

            With that well-placed foreshadowy remark, Gary was ready to show them the major problem in the timeline. Unfortunately for the timeline (and Gary), he was immediately shot in the arm by Ninja-Time Assassin #03Uno.
            Katrina and Tom both picked up nearby guns that just happened to be there for reasons that will be explained in Chapter 8. They both shot at the NTA, but Katrina missed because she's a woman, and Tom missed because Leslie's giant dick threw him off balance.
            Also unfortunately for the timeline and I guess Gary, both shots hit Gary. Tom's hit him in the face, and Katrina's hit him in the heart. And it's orangutan-murdering shit like this that's the reason you'll never, ever see this story in theaters.
            As he lay on the lane (sliding slowly towards the pins, since he landed with a bit of momentum), he said out of his now misshapen mouth, "The next chapter doesn't exist! You must make sure you don't enter it, or you shall surely per-" He was then cut off as he died mid-sentence and slid into the pins.
            "I guess Gary's just bowled his last strike," Leslie said mournfully.
            "Unless we wait for the suction to pull his head off and kick it up through the ball return!" Tom suggested, "I bet we could get him one more with it before we leave."
            "Yeah, no. We have things to do now," Leslie told him. And with that, they left the bowling alley.
            The three knew that they had survived Chapter 8 (as well as 9, 10, and 11) last time around. So they just needed to repeat what they did that time.
            Oddly, though, they couldn't remember anything from the previous time they had lived Chapter 7. It was as though someone forgot to tell them what happened as it happened.
            All they could remember was someone saying, "Fuck you." It was an odd thing to only remember.
            "Man, I guess we're totally going to die," Tom interred.
            "Hey, what are those guys doing to the dead bodies?" Katrina asked as they found themselves back out on the boardwalk. Indeed, there were two men standing around the bodies.
            Nicolas and Daniel watched the three people walk up to them. Or, Daniel did, rather. Nicolas was too busy having sex with the decapitated naked corpse of a young woman.
            "Hey, Leslie's corpse is mine!" the one man yelled as he walked up to them, "Only I get to rape it!"
            "Oi, back off lad, this filly's mine!" Nicolas shouted back, "Ah saw 'er first!"
            "Just let her go," another of the three said, "We've got bigger fish to fry."
            "Yeah, the everything's about to end and we don't know how to not stop living because of it," the remaining one said. They all agreed and skipped off into the sunset like a bunch of girls.
            Nicolas finished up in the lovely young girl and zipped up his pants.
            "'Appy?" Daniel asked him.
            "Wee bit," Nicolas told him, "Thanks."
            "'Aye, ah always know what ye be needin'," Daniel remarked. Then they joined hands and skipped off into the sunset in the other direction.
            Marilyn watched the two men skip away as she jogged past the scene. She stopped abruptly because one of the Village People was walking straight towards her.
            "Excuse me, Jogs With Large Breasts, would you like come back to teepee and make sex with me?" he managed to spit out with difficulty. Not difficulty with the proposition, mind you. But difficulty with the language. Obviously, all Native Americans in the 1700s had trouble with English from time to time.
            "Sure, Chief! Go get Methodman and we'll get right down to it!" she shouted in a very not-cultured and implaceable British accent of some kind.
            "Method... man?" Trotting Whatever inquired, but she answered him not. He wouldn't have heard her answer, anyways. He had just spied the old man walking in his direction. Even better, the old man had yet to notice him! He pulled out his katana and was about to strike when the woman stopped him.
            "I'm sorry, reddie, but I know what yer about ta do," she explained, "And I was wonderin' if I might do it instead? Y'see, I gots a lot of pent-up rage with me ol' girl. Bloomin' wench never soddin' sent me a letter! I gave her my address, that spastic whore! But no, not a one. I've wanted to just lop her bloody head off! In one swift chop, if possible. Anyways, can I see your sword now?"
            After that amazing soliloquy, Trotting Maize was more than happy to hand over his sword. He watched as she ran over and knocked the old man's head off. Then she came strolling back and they embraced while another old man limped up and peed on the slightly deader old man while mumbling about a knee in curse-ridden tones.
            "That was amazing!" Trotting Udder told her. She beamed down at him.
            "Chief, I think I lov-"
            Just then, the Universe forgot to exist.

 

You Died!
Your final score is: 2.
