Nice job Kim!...keep going!

I plan on it. Trying to figure out where I am going now. Spaulding talking don't know where that came from.

As they were going towards the entrance Kim asked “Spaulding can you tell me anything more

about the danger our friends are in?”

Spaulding replied “I can provide you with further information. They went into the entrance with the

others that had been traveling there.”

Kim “What others were they regulars of the train?”

Spaulding “The names were Expos, Vanland, OTM, Vdub and Bjsrule08. Your friend Mister Scott

had set a trap as everyone was worried about who was going down there as it was dangerous.

They spoke and they told our friends that the entrance led to more than the Rogers center so they

all went back in. That was September 14th it is now October 10th almost a month they have been

there. As far as I can tell from my contact with 5714 they feel they have only been gone minutes.”

Kim “That does not sound good at all. Do you have direct contact with 5714, can you speak to

him?”

Spaulding “I cannot speak to him I can hear his thoughts but can only send feelings to him. I wish I

could do more but without him having a translator and being closer I can do no more.”

As they had been traveling they were now at the entrance to the other dimension.

Kim said “I want to tell you before we go any further that it is my privilege to speak to you. You

have such a great history and are so very special. I hope that when we save our friends you will

continue to speak with us.”

Spaulding “I will consider speaking with others but for now let us concentrate on the job we have

in front of us. I can feel fear from 5714 but it is so far away.”

Kim “Can you send him hope and friendship somehow remind him about here and how nice it is?

Maybe you can get him thinking about coming back they have been gone long enough. While you

try that I will try the communicator again. Scotty it is Kim can you hear me please respond.” She

listened as a faint reply came though “Ah lass it makes my heart glad to hear your voice. ”came

though faintly.

“Scotty you cannot be any happier than I am to hear yours.” replied Kim.

Your diet needs some spice , Dude .

Habanero = Flu Shield .

Try it out .

Kim transports Red and Harold into the Venting Car and proceeds into the Cyberbar with Spaulding. She turns on the lights and cannot believe her eyes as she looks on at what was left of the Cyberbar. There was duct tape everywhere, in the middle of the room was a kiddie pool with a foot high ring of tinfoiled cardboard around it and filled with water. There was a step ladder duct taped to it and 4 vacuum cleaners duct taped to the side with the hoses going through the cardboard.

KIM: My god what have they done???? These guys tried to make a Jacuzzi, there must be 200 dollars with of duct tape here!!

SPAULDING: Whoever they are, they are very industrious.

There are pullies and on the ceiling beams and the chairs have ropes attached to them and there are tubes leading from the bar to the chairs in front of the T.V. She sits down in one of the chairs and pulls the lever that is hanging about a foot over the arm rest. There is a noise from behind the bar and a bottle of beer travels through the tube and drops into the cup holder that Red cut right into the arm rest itself.

KIM: This is kind of cool… I wonder what this one does.

She pulls the lever on the other side of the chair, a large weight comes down as the chair is now moving toward the washroom. As it comes in it trips something else and this hook grabs her and next thing she knows she is standing in front of the toilet.

KIM: Obviously this is for GUYS ONLY….

SPAULDING: Your friends????

KIM: Yes, yes, I’ve seen quite enough, 5714 is gonna to have a kitten when he sees all this.

She moves the table that hides the trap door to 1993 and climbs down.

SPAULDING: Whatever you do, do not turn suddenly.

KIM: Why??

SPAULDING: It’s how you enter the other baseball cities.

KIM: Where are they now??

SPAULDING: They have been entering all of the various baseball stadiums of 1993 but some are out of sync with center of it, which is here.

KIM: Is this why they have lost all this time?

SPAULDING: Yes and it’s become more unstable.

KIM: Why?

SPAULDING: It’s closing…

KIM: Are we safe?

SPAULDING: Yes, the further away you are the more dangerous it is……Your friends are in danger.

KIM: I can’t reach them, where are they?

SPAULDING: They are about to go to California, if they do, they will be absorbed.

KIM: Absorbed?

SPAULDING: Die

KIM: I don’t understand, why California??

SPAULDING: The time bubble is closing and even though the gate to California is still there, there is nothing beyond the gate but the void itself where their energy will be absorbed.

KIM: SCOTTY!!! SCOTTY!!! I don’t know what to do!!!

SPAULDING: You have to transport them out.

KIM: I’m trying but I don’t know how!!

Her tricorder begins to glow the same color as Spaulding and the readings and setting on the screen are changing so fast that Kim can’t read them.

Meanwhile in the main gate way to California.

EXPOS: Alright, lets go check out the Angels…

Scotty is slowly following and trying to reach Kim, he can hear her voice but it’s so faint he can’t make it out.

SCOTTY: Kim, I can’t hear you lass.

5714 is still worried if he locked the door or not.

5714: I really don’t think I locked it.

WINIWALT: Enough already, god we’ve only been down here a couple of hours, like come on, let’s enjoy some California sunshine.

5714: Alright…but I don’t like having that in the back of my mind.

EXPOS: Alright boys, we are here, say hello to hot girls in the hot weather.

Scotty is still trying to make out what Kim is saying, he turns up the volume to maximum.

KIM: STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s so loud and sudden that it freezes everyone.

SCOTTY: Kim, can you hear me???

All he hears is static, everyone waits but it’s nothing but static, after a minute and half Expos gets impatient and goes to walk through the gateway as they dematerialize….

Meanwhile back in the corridor to 1993, Kim is yelling into the no longer glowing tricorder.

KIM: SCOTTY!! SCOTTY!!...(looks at the readings) They are in engineering, you did it Spaulding!!

SPAULDING: So they are safe?

Looks at the tricorder again.

KIM: According to this, yes..

SPAULDING: Thank you Kim, it was nice talking to you.

KIM: It was nice talking to you t………..

Kim softly falls to the ground as the glow from Spaulding goes away as it just sits resting against her.

Meanwhile, Expos, Vanland, OTM, Vdub, Bjsrule08, Winiwalt, 5714 and Scotty and Metalchick are all safe standing on the transporter pads.

SCOTTY: She brought us back…(talks into the tricorder) Kim you did it, we’re here……Kim, lass??....She’s in the 93 cooridor and she’s unconscious.

OTM: I’ll get here…

He runs out of 4th car.

SCOTTY: What’s all that crud on top of my control panel and what’s with the work bench??

5714: And the rolls of duct tape..

The sound of a snare drum could be heard as well as some cymbals and a base drum. Everyone is looking around for the source of the music. Winiwalt steps from one transporter pad to another and hears a cymbal. Scotty looks down and also steps onto the pad and it makes the same kind of noise. He then steps on the one beside that and it makes the sound of a snare drum and looks at Winiwalt.

SCOTTY: Is this someone’s idea of a joke??

Winiwalt looks around at the control panel that has a turntable duct taped to it.

WINIWALT: What is going on here?

He notices a crudely made teleprompter made with newspaper rolls and turned by an elastic pully. The paper has the lyrics for Sweet Caroline. Scotty presses power on the 70’s style turn table and the sound of Sweet Caroline fills the room. He looks at the elastic band that is on the spool that is attached to the teleprompter and it begins to turn and is amazingly keeping in time with song.

5714: It’s a crude karaoke machine.

The music is being drowned out by Vanland and Bjsrule08 who are jumping on the transporter pads and making drum noises.

VANLAND: This is so cooool!!!

Winiwalt, Scotty and 5714 are still looking at each other.

5714: It’s a joke, it has to be.

WINIWALT: Yeah it’s a joke alright, I can tell you who too, it starts with a B and ends with an O.

SCOTTY: Sounds like something he would do.

WINIWALT: Go away for an afternoon and look what he does!!!

5714: Calm down, it’s only a joke, you really need to have a better sense of humour, drinks anyone??

WINIWALT: Do you have to ask?

5714: Hopefully a couple drinks will cheer you sour pusses up.

He walks into the Cyberbar and lets out a scream, then comes running back in.

5714: I AM GOING TO KILL HIM!!!!!

WINIWALT: I’m sure it’s only a joke, lighten up 5714..

5714: Seeing that Brando is not here, (walks towards Winiwalt, rolling up his sleeves)

WINIWALT: Now 5714, calm down….no, really, 5714???......

Thank you so much that is great. I got stuck didn't know how to save you all. I want to know how I can be saved if we can't go back.

You don't get saved, you just became the first bandwagoner to die....

kidding...

the main corridor to the 93 bandwagon is fine. It's just all the outlying areas like california and seattle as the bubble is slowly closing. I have a major story during the world series so I need the 93 skydome and spaulding for it.

I thought I did good figuring out how to have Spaulding be able to talk. I look forward to you continuing the story.

You did a nice job, I liked what you wrote, you obviously did some research.

I was writing it in word and kept comming and going thru the thread to find what I was trying to do next. I didn't think I was ever going to remember your brothers name.

"Somehow?'..5714 finds himself back at the bandwagon..there are 'boxes upon BOXES!'..piled everywhere in the cyberbarcar.
5714(to himself).."COOL!...my delivery is IN!..

As he starts to take inventory, the door to the hidden 93 Skydome opens...and out walks Alice Cooper.

5714:' HEY COOP!"

Alice:" Hey yourself 5714!..my order in??'

5714 checks his list, and points to a box near the wall.."Over there!...with the black marker on it?'

Alice:' COOL!..(peels off a wad of $50 bills, and hands it to 5714)."That take care of it??'

5714:" Definately!...wait...I'll get you some change!"

Alice:" Don't worry about it pal...keep the change..it's 'TOUGH!" to get quality merchandise like THIS!"

5714:" Tell your FRIENDS!....5714 is "ALWAYS"..ready to supply!

Alice:" Cool Dude!..I will!..he takes the box, and disappears into, the 93 Skydome entrance...5714 counts the money..then places it in a strongbox, under the bar...

(looks around).."NEXT??"

5714 is 'busier than a beaver', as a 'seemingly endless line' of Metalheads, hardrockers, and '80's "Hairbands', approach the bar, ask if their order is in, and giggle like little children, at Christmas, when they find out it is.

Gene Simmons, 'actually' plants a 'kiss' on a startled 5714, as he receives his order.

Gene:' Man!...I don't know what "ANY" of us would do without you!..5714?...you are a 'godsend!"...In the '70's and '80's..it was EASY!..to get this stuff..but the supply dried up...ya know??"

5714 nods as Gene hands him a wad of cash, and he receives the same reply, he got from Alice..."Keep the change!"

After Gene leaves, 5714 notices that there are only a 'couple of boxes' left..he leans back, pops the top on a Dr. Pepper, takes out the strongbox, and starts to count the money therein...$50..$100..

5714:' Hmmm...This is a 'goldmine!"..lets just hope winiwalt doesn't find out!...$200...$400...

With the last of the Rockers, having picked up, the last of the boxes, 5714 is thinking to himself.."What a GIG!..I should have gone into this YEARS ago!..there should be a way to 'expand!'

As 5714 sits at the bar, his 'windfall' safely hidden in the strongbox under the bar, he hears the door to the bandwagon, 'squeak' open, and the familiar 'moonface' of Cam Wooley, pokes in.

Cam:' Hey 5714!..long time no see!..(looks around)..kinda 'dead' in here isn't it??'

5714:" (uneasily)..Ya...well...you know..offseason and such..

Cam:' Where IS everyone??...Metalchick, winiwalt, Kim...Scotty??'

5714:' Last I heard..they were 'lost in the catacombs' under the '93 Skydome...

Cam:' Ahh??..WHAT??..(looks at 5714)..(laughs)...ya RIGHT!..catacombs...under the Skydome!...yer NUTS 5714..has anyone ever told you that??

5714:"(more uneasily) "So I've been told on more than one occasion..what can I get you Cam??"

Cam:" Orangina?..ice?

5714:"Coming right up!..(he sneaks a peek at the strongbox, and pours Cam his Orangina, with a shaky hand)

Cam:' You OK 5714??.you look a little..a little OFF..if ya know what I mean?"

5714:" NO...no...everythings fine..just worried about the rest of the regulars, who..

Cam:' Ya I KNOW!...that are lost under the Skydome!"..(chuckles)

As Cam drinks his Orangina, 5714 glances nervously, towards the hidden entrance, 'praying' that no more band members come up to place an order.

Cam leaves, with a cheeery "See ya later 5714!"..and once again 5714 is alone.

He glances nervously towards the strongbox, and gos to pick it up, when a 'familiar' regular, enters the bandwagon thru the 'secret' door.

5714:' Metalchick??....where IS everyone?"

Metalchick:" Dunno..we've all been trying to come back..but it looks as if you and I are the only ones so far...Am I right??'

5714:' (nods)..

Metalchick:' Weird!...so what have YOU been up to??..how long have you been BACK??'

5714 explains, how that the only people he has seen have been the 'Metalheads'..who seem to have 'no problem' coming to and leaving the bandwagon.

Metalchick:" REALLY??....WHY would they be coming and leaving??'

5714:' To pick up their orders...ah...RATS!"

Metalchick:' ORDERS??..you are 'ordering them around??'

5714:" no!...no...I order things FOR them!"

Metalchick:' Hmmm..REALLY??...like WHAT??

5714 shows her the strongbox from under the bar.

Metalchick:' (astonished)..5714!...there HAS to be 'thousands of dollars in there!"

5714:" YEP!...and MORE where THAT come from!...I have a 'steady clientele now!...but we have to keep it 'hush hush!"

Metalchick:" Ah...5714?...'nobody' makes THAT amount of money 'legally!"...FESS UP!"

5714 looks around 'cautiuosly, and slides a soft covered book across the bar to Metalchick..he places his index finger across his lips, in the 'classic' sign for Ssshhhh!

Metalchick picks up the book, and 'flips it over' so that she can see the cover, and sez..."You CAN'T be serious!"

5714 giggles, and sez.."Absolutely!.."DEAD!" serious!"

Metalchick:' Soooo...the 'thousands' of dollars you have in that strongbox....you made that selling 'stuff' from out of HERE??'

5714 nods

Metalchick:' How long...how long did it take you??'

5714:' What's today??...Thursday??..(counts backwards in his head)...ah...the 19th?..so that would..

Metalchick picks up the box, incredulously,you've made THIS since MONDAY???"

"Yeah!..I guess that's right..it's been a 'good week', sez 5714

Metalchick:' Good WEEK??..you've got enough money in here to run a 'small' third world country for a YEAR!"

5714:' And it's only the START!"

Metalchick:' I don't understand...

5714:" (takes the book from Metalchick).."Simple!..I'm filling a need!..let me explain...."

Metalchick:" Please do...I can hardly wait to tell winiwalt!"

5714:' OUR! secret!...OK??"

Metalchick:" OH...alright...go on.."

5714:' Well...with all the 'resurgance' in 'old bands', especially. 'reunion tours', Metalheads, Hair bands, etc..WHAT do they ALL need??"

Metalchick:" Amps?...guitars??

5714:" NO!...NO!!!....what they need is 'MAKEUP!"

Metalchick:"???'

5714:' OK!..let me (looks around)...take Alice Cooper for instance...black tears, ghoulish face...I 'sold' him a CASE!..of 'Midnight Madness' mascara..and he'll be BACK!"

Gene Simmons of 'KISS"?...blush, eyeliner, mascara...the whole ball of WAX!...caseloads!..not a 'couple...CASELOADS!"

Metalchick:" (shocked) listens..

5714:' Honeymoon Suite??...their 'hair spray' order ALONE!..THIS TIME...was enough to pay the utilities on the bandwagon for a YEAR!"

Metalchick:" WOW!"...and you did ALL this?...ALL THIS??..(grabs book)..by selling AVON??"

5714:" Ding Dong!"

Metalchick leaves, and enters the secret door, vowing to return with all the regulars...5714 has 'sworn her to secrecy', and she 'zips her lips'

10 minutes later as 5714 sits dozing by the bar,he is wakened abruptly, by a familiar voice.

winiwalt:' Sooo...this is what I PAY you for?....SLEEP??'

5714:' Ah..'walt?...you DON't pay me!"

winiwalt:' Oh yeah..that's right!...ya wanna coffee?...I'm going over to 'Second Cup'

5714:' BLEAAAH!...how about Timmies??'

winiwalt:' Second Cup or Nuthin!..I'm not traipsing all over the countryside!"

5714:' Fine!...(sighs)"you gonna be LONG?.I've got a 'little something I'm working on to help with the bandwagons finances!'

winiwalt:' Yeah..a while..you work on it!" he hums tunelessly as he leaves on his coffee run.

5714 'springs' into action, getting ready for the next 'onslaught' of orders.

As winiwalt approaches the bandwagon,with two coffees in hand, he is startled, by a 'banging and crashing' coming from 'inside' the bandwagon.

Frenzied voices call out:" OH NO!...he's LOCKED all the DOORS!...we're DOOMED!...aHHHHHHH!!!...SCREAAAMMM!!...make it STOP!...no more 5714!...NO MORE!!!...

winiwalt drops the coffees at his feet, and runs to the door of the bandwagon, he struggles to open the door, which appears to have been nailed from inside..he can hear 5714 talking in a low, calming voice, while pandemonium rages inside.

winiwalt:' 5714!...5714??....open the DOOR!

Voice from inside:' He WON'T!...he's MAD!...totally 'looney toons!'..we're TRAPPED!...get us OUT for the 'LOVE OF GOD!"

winiwalt listens..and all he can hear is the crash from someone trying to break the bandwagon's windows with a chair...it bounces off effortlessly, off the tempered glass...the screaming and choas CONTINUES!

winiwalt runs and opens the trunk of 5714's ancient Dodge, and grabs the tiore iron..he rushes to the door, and attempts to 'pry' the door open.

Inch by inch..the door squeals on it's hinge's, and 'finally!' pos open!

A mad rush of bodies 'fall thru the opening...and flee in terror..into the street..winiwalt, lies on the ground in a daze,cowering, fearful of being trampled in the chaos.

Finally!..he sees a familiar face..

winiwlat:' Rob??...Rob Zombie?...is that YOU??'

Rob:' (tears running down his face) he grabs winiwalt and 'hugs' him.."THANK YOU!...THANK YOU!...is was 'horrible!...the worst thing I have ever encountered!"..then he breaks the embrace, and runs ina panic towards the street.

winiwalt lies in the dirt...he looks up at the entrance of the bandwagon, and sees what 'appears' to be 5714 standing in the doorway...no ghoul...no 'horror'...just 5714.but he is dressed , in a charcoal woolen suit, with a red tie, knotted neatly around his neck.

winiwalt:' What's going on 5714??..a murder??..migod!...I have NEVER seen such FEAR!...Rob Zombie was 'pale as a GHOST!"

5714:' People fear the unknown, my friend..BUT!...as long as I have your 'attention'...would you like to know, of a stratagem, that could 'change your life forever?'...AND!...make you 'richer than your fondest dreams??'

winiwalt:' Ah...sure..everyone wants..

5714:' GOOD!...good!...then I would like to introduce you to ..

winiwalt lets out a bloodcurdling SCREAM, as 5714 finishes his sentence...ONE WORD...but that WORD is!.....

AMWAY!!!!!!!!

Now there has been some interesting developments, the metalheads are on the bandwagon, buying make up. Well if that is the case, how could they also be in New York ready to hatch Hanks evil plan???.....Well let me tell you…..

The metalheads arrive back in the basement of the Yankees Head Office. Inside the well room Hank and Radar are anxiously waiting for them. As they walk in, there are a bunch of metal back packs that are plugged into their guitars and microphones.

ALICE: What’s all this?

HANK: We are ready to take back what is ours and set my father free. Radar, demonstrate for our friends here.

Radar grabs one of the back packs and puts it on and grabs one of the guitars and points it against one of the walls. He raises his hand and takes a mighty strum, the deafening sound blows a hole through the wall and knocks everyone off their feet. The metalheads are most impressed as they get up while wiping the dust off their clothes.

CHRIS HOLMES: COOOOOOL!!!

RADAR: (whispers in Hanks ear) Your father has docked on the roof.

HANK: Grab your weapons, we are off.

Everyone excitedly grabs their back backs and their instruments of choice and follow Hank out. Rob Zombie, yell into his mic and his voice comes out muffled but high pitched and a piece of concrete falls from the hall ceiling and hits Chris on the head. He just shakes it off and looks up at Zombie.

CHRIS: Thanks, I needed that…..

Hank turns around and yells at them as he is annoyed.

HANK: ENOUGH!! We got work to do!!!

They come to the freight elevator which is rather large so everyone could fit. The door closes and Hank presses the button to the top floor.

HANK: (to himself) I can’t wait to wipe that smug smile off your face.

RADAR: Sir?

HANK: Nevermind..
