Aah, Bacon & Eggs (conc)

Weapon0 -- Hi guys...what the frell is that?

Weapon0 stammers as he looks up at Tick Tick who is hiding in a thick stand of trees having completely grown out of her clothes. "What happened?", Weapon0 asked. "Brownie overdose" SunAeryn answered "Glad you could make it." "Yeah, Thanks for inviting me to hang out with you guys." Weapon0 replied "But I didn't expect anything like this. I though a brownie overdose only caused you to think you had superpowers." "No, that's only me." Sword replied "I guess a brownie overdose causes different effects in different people. Weird, huh?" "Hello, can I get some help here?" Tick Tick said angrily "It's the middle of fall, for crying out loud, and I'm freezing." "Wait a minute, I just though of something that might help." Weapon0 said and was off.

He returned, carrying what appeared to be a large bundle of cloth. "I found this in the Scinema Event Bboard under the Attack of the 50-foot woman article." Weapon0 explained "Here Tick, it's not much but try it on." Tick Tick emerged from the trees wearing a tan two-piece bathing suit. Sword, Rangar, and leaped couldn't stop giggling. "Shut up guys, or I'll step on you." Tick Tick shouted. They immediately stopped, realizing she was serious.

"Sorry, it was the best I could do on such short notice. At least that's one problem solved, kinda." Weapon0 replied "Maybe I could find you some Zentraedi robes on the Anime BBoard." "This is so uncool." Tick Tick said and pulled her knees up to her chest starting to rock. "Don't worry Tick, We'll figure something out. We always do." Annisette said, putting her hand on Tick Tick's ankle, trying to comfort her.

RagnarRB -- The larger view

Ticker was not happy. Of course what could the gang expect? At least the growing had stopped, they hoped. She was becomming quite uncomfortable and agitated. It was hard to contemplate what mischief a 30 foot elf could get into!

Sweet, charming TickTick.

It was also getting hard to see. Ticker now glowed with a delightful radience. Charasmatic and lively. It was kinda hard to resist. Luckilly SunAeryn had extra sun glasses. <<men in black shades>>

"All right you people, Knock it off and get back there behind the line!" SunAeryn's voice was shrill and carried intent, almost as much as the pulse pie rifle she waved menaceingly at the gawkers.

It may be the park of Scifi Prime but a overgrown elf was quite a draw. And the radient glow wasn't helping. It was having bad effects on the males of the species! Sun was being quite firm. She had taken it upon herself to keep the more exuberant visiters in check. Tick was a rising star!

Ragnar was really glad WeaponO had come along and found something for Ticker to wear. He knew he could be protective enough of his little elven buddy but he cringed at the thought of SunAeryn giving lessens in morality to the first poor soul to get disrespectful. Even Sword had consumed more punch and stood at the ready. The guys felt more attached to Ticker than usuall. Anni and Sun both were keeping a close eye on them.

Leaped had gone off in search of the missing page. It was amazing what that man knew how to find! He had also become the most smitten of all!

Hurry Leaped, hurry!

Ticker had taken to sitting on the grass. She looked pouty, She stomped an impatient foot and those nearest her fell down.

"Do something guys! This is embarassing!"

"I know Tick,I know we're working on it. Here have some more Lucky charms. " Anni sat back up and struggled to her feet. WeaponO reopened the EDR (Elf desk reference.) The two of them had taken to reading through it in turns looking for a clue. Ragnar rushed forward with another sack and refilled the makeshift bowl, a swiftly appropriated bird fountain, as Sword helped with the milk. It was amazing the calming effect they had...the cereal not the guys.

"Any Luck guys?" Ragnar asked.

WeaponO shook his head. "We need that missing page. Without it...."

"Yeh watch it say something simple like IN CASE OF OVERDOSE INDUCE VOMITING."

All eyes turned to look at Ragnar. He fidgited. "What'd I say, what'd I say??"

Weapon0 -- Sorry, Tick Tick

I couldn't find any Zentraedi robes on the Anime BBoard. But I think there are some giant's clothes over at the Hercules BBoard. I'm gonna need some help carrying them though. It was all I could do to just get that two-piece over here. So, who's all going?

LabMouse -- Hey! Can I help?

I followed a piece of cheese, and it led me here <sniff, sniff>. I can help carry clothes for Tick - she's looking pretty unhappy. I'm with you, Weapon0. I doubt Tick can even see me from up there...

TickTick -- MORE LUCKY CHARMS!!!!!

Ticker shouted impatiently... the effect of oversized opera singer's lungs shorted out several street lights and broke seven windows in Dominion House.

"Ticker, calm down!" Ragnar shouted back.

SunAeryn sighed. "Someone's gonna have to pay for those windows..."

Weapon0 looked over at LabMouse. "I think we should go get those clothes from the Hercules BB... before Ticker gets cold and starts shivering."

LabMouse nodded nervously. "It could start an earthquake."

TickTick put her head on her knees and sighed; the force of the air knocked over a few of the younger Scapers who had wondered over the MGELR barriers (Minimum Giant Elf Leg Room). She gently scooped them up and placed them back with their families.

"We could always try this induced vomiting thing..." Anni said, scouring the EDR with Sword. "Right, Sword?"

Sword was watching TickTick a little TOO closely...

"Sword, close your mouth. You look silly."

"Sorry Anni... it's the glowing... it's riveting..."

"Where is leaped? I wonder if he's found the other page?" SunAeryn said to Ragnar as she eyed the crowd and fingered her pulse rifle agitatedly.

Ragnar stared at the Ticker and muttered, "Don't know... went to find page... be back soon..."

SunAeryn groaned. The Scooby guys were no help at all...

RagnarRB -- And he ran!

His boots crunched the fine gravel as he pounded through the rock garden. Leaping the low hedges he landed on well manicured grass, dodging right to avoid a young couple pausing for a kiss on the path. Over the picnic table and around the barbeque! His leather jacket flapped open and his left hand reached to secure his fedora. Leaped raced on.

Beautiful TickTick...and elven angel...

Leaped bumbed the stone statue jarring his mind back to the present.

"Escuse me! Pardon me! Clear the way!"

People scattered but with dexterity never before scene he dodged them all and made it to the edge of the park. Sword would be proud.

Beautiful glowing TickTick...he stumbled slightly, his mind straying.

The scifi nexus...the Archives...must reach the archives!!!!!

SunAeryn -- While he ran....

SunAeryn couldn't help but notice that Ragnar and SWORD were no help at all. Sun set up more barriers....to keep people from gawking at her now Giant litte elf buddy. In a rather stern voice Sun warned the new comers,

"DO NOT COME ANY CLOSER! TICKTICK NEEDS THE LEG SPACE AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE GETTING HURT!"

Sun then turned her attention to Rag and SWORD, she shook her head and pushed them outa the way.

"Anni, are you sure there's nothing else in the book to help TickTick?" Sun was worried that if they didn't do something quick, TickTick was gonna start crying....and that could cause a flood. One flood an adventure was Sun's limit.

'Good thing LabMouse and Weapon0 went to get some warmer clothes for Tick.' Sun thought to herself

Just then Anni noticed a brightly colored envelope floating down to the ground.

"What's this?" She asked picking it up.

The envelope had one name on it and nothing else. In shinny gold scrolly letters that spelled out one name.......TickTick.

"It's for Tick, Sun." Anni showed Sun

"I don't think she'll be able to read it....it's so small for her." Anni added

"What are you talkin' about?" Tick whispered but it sounded like a yell.

"Um,you have a letter here." Anni yelled and it sounded like a whisper to Tick. That's one of the side effects of and elf turning giant....the hearing changes.

"Hey Tick!" Sun yelled "I'm gonna climb the tree and read the letter to you....that way I don't have to yell as loud. If it's ok, I'm gonna read it before I read it to you." Sun finished explaining to Tick.

"Good idea Sun, it might be bad news and then.....the flood." Anni mumbled as she noticed Ragnar and SWORD moving closer to Tick.

"I'll go round up those two.....I think they are making Ticker feel elf consious(she is an elf ya know, so why wouldn't it be "elf consious?)" Anni added.

"Here you might need this while I'm reading the letter to Ticker." Sun said tossing Anni her pulse rifle.

As Sun walked towards Tick she read the letter.

It was from Santa.....he wanted to know if Ticker could show up a little early this year to help get ready for Christmas. He wanted her there the Monday following Thanksgiving. Sun looked at Ticker.....then back at Anni....

"Tick, I'll be there in a minute." Sun told Tick as she headed back to Anni.

"Anni, we have a problem." Sun informed Anni.

"Santa wants our little buddy to be at the North Pole the Monday following Thanksgiving. Are we gonna have enough time to get her back to her normal elf?" Sun asked.

"Um, it depends on if leaped can find the page, then get back here with it in time." Anni said looking a litte worriedly at Tick.

"The main question is....can Tick last that long like this?" Anni added.

"I'll go read the letter to her....and let's hope that she doesn't start crying or anything." Sun said heading back towards Tick.

Sun climbed the tree and as she did she was worried about her elf friend. What would happen, would she and the rest of the "Scooby Gang" be able to help her return to her normal elf in time?

RagnarRB -- Leaped lept on...

His breath came in ever larger gasps but he couldn't stop. The Scooby gang was counting on him!

It was hard to focus but he knew what must be done.

He had charged into the grotto caverns, now well traveled by he or his friends. It was taking too long, he decided to try a short cut. This place was riddled with tunnels.

The first pungi pit almost got em. The second too! He barely had time to screech to a halt and side step the foam spike trap. Pies flew accross the passage as he worked his way around. Marange and chocolate but nothing frozen. No one knew for sure how many of this Phantom gizmos remained.

His mind raced and his eyes searched as the giant cremebuff rolled after him. There!! to the left! An airvent!!

There are moments, he thought, when a giant elf might come in handy!

Far away Ragnar watched the letter flitter down and wondered what it could mean. He continued to shovel Lucky Charms. Sword was out of milk again.

The things the Scobby guys did for the ladies!!!!

TickTick -- “Gonna be late for an important date....”

muttered TickTick morosely after Sun read her the note from Santa.

"Tick? You _really_ are one of Santa's elves?" Sun asked.

The now- giant Scooby Scaper nodded. "'Course... it's the off- season... I've been doing other stuff during the lean months- worked as Dopey's stunt double at Disneyworld for a while... did some stuff with Keebler... then I got hooked on Farscape and decided to come here for a visit- and umm, just never quite got around to calling Nick and telling him where I was."

"You mean, Saint Nick?"

"Yeah. Man... I bet he's gonna be mad... probably make me clean up after Prancer."

Sun nodded sympathetically. "That the worst reindeer?"

TickTick smiled. "Everyone thinks it's Vixen or Blitzen, but Prancer... well... he prances, ya know? Makes a big mess, too..."

Meanwhile back on the ground, Annisette watched the crowd with a well- trained eye. A few quick aims with the pulse rifle had quieted some riots- too many "How's the weather up there?" and "Look's like she's Timber, not Ticker!" jokes had been shouted. Fortunately, TickTick's hearing had not improved. Unfortunately, neither had her height.

"Where is leaped?" Anni said.

Sword started to reply when Weapon0 and LabMouse ran up, dragging a wagon full of cloth.

"Found some giant clothing... Hercules BB was very glad to help out... but they want part of the proceeds if we start charging admission," Weapon0 said, gasping for air.

LabMouse grinned. "We told 'em Ticker'd probably refuse to charge... she's got low 'elf-esteem' right now and doesn't want any more people staring."

Sword laughed. Ragnar turned at the sound- he had been idley watching TickTick as she talked with Sun.

"So we got her some clothes?" he asked.

Sword nodded. "Let's go give 'em to her," he said.

"Guys, now... you two aren't going to do anything silly? Ticker's not a side show attraction, despite how you two are acting."

Ragnar looked shocked. "Nah, we just wanna help our favorite Christmas elf..."

juno24 -- Juno24 just happened to be in the park

and saw the crowds gathering nearby.

"Can I help with anything?", she asked, "cause you seem to need help with something here".

Being rather tall herself, Juno felt she might just be able to see eye to eye with Tick, and maybe she wouldn't feel so awkward.

"Please, tell me what I can do for you, TickTick."

RagnarRB -- He was beat, he was battered, he was back

Leaped stumpled back across the rock garden, drawn ever closer by the enrapturing glow. TickTick was somewhere within! Lovely TickTick!

He was soaked, water dripped everywhere. His fadora was askew and his leather jacket had fresh cuts and nicks. Splatches of pie and creme filled the creases of his cloths and his left side was streaked in green jello. That one had suprised him. Green jello was becoming SunAeryn's trademark.She had planned another _event_ for the guys but he had stumbled on it first.

The glow called him onward.

As he clear the last hedge he held the book high"I got IT!!!!!!!"

A sudden thought flashed thru his mind as he stumbled to his knees. 'maybe I should have checked for that specific page first?'

brothermoser -- Return of the Phantom

(see my post for details) :)

The Phantom of Farscape

LabMouse -- Here, Tick, try this

The LabMouse said, holding up the end of a very long sleeve of what appeared to be a huge robe. It might be warmer than what you have on now. And these scarves can be wrapped around your ears if they get cold too - I know mine do!

The LabMouse looks at the assembled group. When's Leaped getting back? she asked.

Weapon0 -- What is it about that glow?

Weapon0 wondered to himself. He saw how Sword, Rangar, and now leaped looked at her. He wondered why isn't it effecting me. It is because I'm enamored with someone else on the BBoard or maybe cause I haven't known Tick Tick for that long. The glow certainly was enticing and Tick Tick was a very charming lady, but it just didn't seem to have the same effect. All he knew was that he was glad leaped was back and that LabMouse had gone with him to get the clothing, cause he didn't like the idea of facing those mythical creatures by himself. He was also glad juno24 was here to soothe Tick Tick as a fellow tall person, just not that tall. "Let me see the book, leaped." Weapon0 said. "Hummm, I see, interesting" "Yes, well" SunAeryn and Annisette both said impatiently. "It says here 'In case of Brownie Overdose, induce vomiting'. Just kidding, to return Tick Tick to her normal state we have to..."

Annisette -- Well we could try the old remedy....

"We could try the old remedy..." Annisette got a far off look and stared into the distance.

"Uh oh...Anni's looking off into the distant beyond again." SunAeryn preferred the pragmatic solutions, the spooky stuff gave her the willies. "ARE we going there again?"

"Naw, she's just wearing her contacts." Sword saw Anni do that when her eyes were itchy from the leaves. "But what is the OLD REMEDY?"

Ticker couldn't quite remember all the old ways, some she preferred to forget. "Uh ANNI, this doesn't involve any of those, um, well, um, you know, THOSE THINGS like sacrifice, EEWWW?" Ticker SHIVERED and TONS OF LEAVES FELL.

SunAeryn barely made it clear, but she sneezed."ATCCHHOO!"

"BLESS YOU...OH GOSH NO, TICK, RELAX! OKAY, this might work!" Annisette tried to sound reaasuring in the face of the HUGE and BRIGHT ELF SITUATION.

Ragnar nodded, "Yea, the leaves out here really tickle my nose too!" Ragnar made *TICKLING* motions with his HANDS.

"EXACTLY! WE TICKLE HER! but SHHHH!" Annisette quieted the gang. "TICKER can't suspect yet!" ANNISETTE waved up and smiled at Ticker who waved back and caused a HUGE BREEZE.

Ragnar and SWORD sneezed. Leaped said,"YEA WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!" But the gang didn't look convinced. HOW? WHERE? WHO?

Annisette glared at her Scooby gang, she was trying to look serious. "Well, the ANCIENTS did know a FEW THINGS! And Elves are just like sprites and all the other pointy eared ones, I hope, when they are TICKLED ON THE EARS, they REVERT to TRUE FORM!"

"Why can't it be simple like water, or freezing HER like with RYGEL?" SunAeryn had mastered the technique of the FREEZE AND FLUSH that saved RYGEL from the TANNOT ROOT EXPLOSIVE EFFECTS.

"DO YOU SEE A BIG ENOUGH FREEZER, SUN?" Annisette questioned.

"I know, I just thought..." Sun felt depressed.

"Its OKAY Sun, it's hard for all of us." Ragnar looked on comfortingly. Annisette called the others closer too.

"Juno, you still want to help TICKER? Good! Weapon0 are you in? OK! LabMouse we need you too!" Annisette also motioned to see if BrotherMoser wanted to help with this.

"We need to make a ladder...."And ANNISETTE pointed up at the POINTY TARGET HIGH ABOVE.

And the gang began to make a human ladder all the way to Tickers ears.

LabMouse -- Ok, I’m in, but

I don't know how well I'll do holding up a lot of people. Maybe I can climb up close to last? I'm REALLY good at tickling!

RagnarRB -- For me! Oh Boy!

TickTick looked down at the gang. She was much warmer now that she had a robe and even some of the crowd had departed. The robe hid much of the magic light and their enthusiasm had dimmed. Others had been hauled off by a firm clasp of an ear. She was glad her male friends weren't acting so wierd now.

The gang was getting into position below.

Naturally Ragnar and Sword and WeaponO got to be the base of the pyramid. Juno24 began to climb to their shoulders.

Ticker got excited. She knew what this was. "Another Farscape ralley!?! For me!"

She shifted position and leaned down for a closer look. The smiled with joy. SunAeryn had taken her position with Anni and between them they were helping LabMouse up.

TickTick began rubbing her hands together in anticipation. "Oh boy!"

"No Tick don't!" Annisette stretched out her free hand to Tick. "Don't get excited!"

You see TickTick had a cute little trait that all her friends had come to know and love. When she was excited her ears began to twitch.

"Ot oh, Sword, WeaponO stand fast!" Ragnar tried to brace himself. The fallen leaves were beginning to swirl.

"I just love pep ralleys!" TickTick continued.She began to squirm with glee. The ears sped up!

"TICKER!!!!!!!!!!" Anni yelled into the tempest...

The pyramid began to blow back.

where was that pile of pies when you needed them?...

Annisette -- Blowing in the wind

"NOOOO!" SunAeryn yelled as the TICKLE TOWER swayed with the gusts of wind created by the ELF Ear twitches.

"Hold FAST!" Ragnar braced himself, carrying much of the weight.

LabMouse swung out wide first to one side then the other, twirling near the top of the swaying Tickle Tower. "Oh, I want to go hooooommmmmeee!" She cried.

"Use the whip LEAPED!" Sword prompted, desparately gripping his friends.

Leaped released his hold and freed his WHIP.

"WHOOOOSH.....CRACK....WHOOOSH....CRACK" The whip swung back and snapped, cracking the air.

Leaped swung again and unfurled the whip coil...out it streaked towards a heavy limb overhanging near the tower. "SNAP!" The whip made contact.

Hitting the limb squarely the whip rapidly coiled around the the limb becoming a makeshift support of the tower. "HOLD IT TIGHT!" Annisette yelled. "I may be able to land on my feet, but I hate to see you all go SPLAT."

"HOLD STEADY!" SunAeryn encouraged the Human Tickle Tower to be strong in the face of near destruction. "WE HAVE A JOB to DO!"

WeaponO and Juno held fast. Brothermoser prayed that he would dematerialize into the PHANTOM. TOWER duty was hard work!.

The Tower stopped its sway. Calm was restored. But Ticker could upset them again at any minute.

"Brothermoser!" Annisette yelled down. "You need to distract Ticker...Can you PHANTOMIZE...NOW!?!?"

And Brothermoser squeezed his eyes shut and...

Raven-Kat -- Can I be of some assistance?

Raven pushes her way through the crowd, two feather dusters tucked into her belt in place of her laser pistols.

"Never fear! Raven K is here!" She grabs onto Ragnar's shoulders and begins scaling the pyramid. "Don't worry, guys, I rock-climb whenever I can, so I should be able to do this. Just no one down there sneeze!"

Raven grabs onto Tick's toga and pulls herself the rest of the way up, using her Kat-like agility to avoid Tick's notice. Taking a deep brath, she pulls out her feather dusters...

Raven-Kat -- Balancing carefully

on one foot, Raven cluches one duster between her teeth and the other between her toes. She keeps tight hold of Tick's hair so she won't fall, and begins tickling the giant elf...

TickTick -- What is going on?

the Ticker thought as she sat slumped in the park. Wrapped in her warm robe (THANKS WEAPON0 AND LAB MOUSE!) she had been worrying about disappointing Santa and having to clean up after Prancer, UGH!

She was so wrapped up in her problems that she had only barely noticed the Scooby Gangers forming a human chain. Strong Ragner, the Viking, had formed the base and slowly, carefully, SunAeryn, Annisette, Leaped, SWORD, Weapon0, LabMouse, and juno24 had climbed. She felt badly that she had knocked them over with her twitching ears- all the Dumbo jokes made since, now...

Suddenly she looked down at the group. They had reformed the chain and were wavering in the air. Someone else had been added to the mix- Raven_Kat.

"Hello, Raven! I've met you recently, haven't I?" Ticker asked. Raven nodded but didn't say anything. That's when TickTick noticed that her teeth were gripped around a feather duster and another was clutched in her fist.

Ummm... what are you doing? I'm not that dirty... only been out here a couple of days..." TickTick murmured nervously.

"Hang on, Tick, we're trying to help you!" SunAeryn called. The commanding voice of the PK calmed TickTick, but the sight of that human chain perched precariously in the air made her nervous. She started twitching...

"Raven, hurry!" Ragnar hissed painfully, holding up ALL THOSE SCAPERS!

"Mfmmfmfm!" Raven answered as she grabbed the Ticker's hair. TickTick didn't even feel it- she was so worried about her wonderful new friends. Raven stuck a duster between her toes and held the other one in her mouth. Anni, juno, and LabMouse all gripped the Ticker's shoulder as they supported each other and Raven.

Raven slowly leaned forward and started gently brushing the Ticker's ear.

"Wha-who-hee-hee-hee-stop-wha-you-are-hey-" the Ticker sputtered as she reluctantly began giggling.

"Think it's working!" SWORD muttered, holding leaped on one shoulder.

"Look at that beautiful glow!" Leaped said, still transfixed.

"FOCUS GUYS! WE GOTTA BE CAREFUL!" Anni shouted.

TickTick was laughing harder, now... the force was making the human chain shake and shudder....

Suddenly a rumbling was heard... TickTick started shaking violently, still laughing...

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!" she laughed, trembling harder and harder. It felt like the whole park shook.

"WOAH!!!!!!!" Raven yelled as she stumbled backwards.

"IT'S WORKING!" the gang shouted. Then force of the elf's laughter shook the gang's chain so hard that it started to fall apart....

"OH NO!!!! LOOK OUT!!!" SunAeryn shouted.

Would the gang survive TickTick's shrinking?

Raven-Kat -- “Everyone Bail!!!”

Raven grabs Tick's hair even more tightly and begins pushing her away from the human pyramid.

"Lean away, Tick! Woah!" Raven looses her grip and tumbles to the ground, taking two or three members of the pyramid with her.

"Ouch." Raven groans from the ground, "Auntie Em? Is that you? Why is my mouth full of dirt, and, is this _hair_ in my hands? What happened?"

Raven-Kat -- Mmmmmh, mmmh

"Could whoever's SITTING on me get off?" Raven demands, glaring at the ground. "Unless you're really cute and a guy."

LabMouse -- Sorry Raven_Kat
