I am proud to say that I totally got the math joke. I guess paying attention in Algebra II was actually worth my time XD :D

Huzzah for JC. And huzzah for the other stuff :D I'll have to reread it later and give you better feedback. If you're a feedback junkie, then the least I can do is be your supplier.

...good Lord, I made a drug joke. I think I'd better leave now...

I love how you wrote it from Jimmy's point of view, it really outlined how lost Future Jimmy and Aroura are, I noticed that he was acting a ton more like the dictator than before, is it wearing off? I loved the JC, just perfect, changes everything. The next chapter is going to be epic. :)


The antidote is not wearing off, if that's what you mean...he's just slowly beginning to recover from his earlier shell-shock. He's probably going have the equivalent of multiple personality disorder for a little while (until he can sort himself out). Plus, it doesn't help that Aurora's not around in this chapter to whoop his ass into good behavior ;)

Glad you liked the J/C!

Math jokes, drug jokes...they're in the same league as far as I'm concerned ;)

Hey, this is the first part of two, right?


Right. It's gonna be a long-ass chapter.

Effin' effer. Worst cliffhanger. Can't post in sentences. FL/FS


I live to serve! :thumbsup:

The more I keep reading about Aurora, the more she disturbs me...
(Thumbs up on the JC. And LOL at Sheen/Libby awkwardness... :thumbsup:)


I thought Aurora's disturbing-ness was pretty mild in this chapter. If anything, she was being intelligently cautious. Sure, she took advantage of Jimmy just a little bit (no not in THAT way, you perverts), but if you thought your best friend was dating someone who could kill her, wouldn't you at least run the equivalent of a google background check on him?

She knows Jimmy's a genius. And a goody-two-shoes. She knows he'll do everything within his power to help BOTH FS and FL. So, passing the task on to him was the most efficient and logical (if a bit insensitive) course of action.

Glad you were amused by FS and FL's display of ridiculousness.

Boy you guys weren't kidding about the cliffhanger were you.

Things I'm dying to know for next chapter:
1) How badly messed up is future Sheen, and what's going to happen between him and future Libby if he's too messed up?
2) what sort of invention will future Jimmy make to send the kids home?
3) What is everyone going to say when they see Nav's ship leave after they drop out of hyperspace
4) what will be future Jimmy's long-term reaction to what he learned from Cindy about the Aurora-April incident, and how will Aurora react to his reaction, if that makes any sense

Anyway, I loved the jc, which had me in stitches, and the whole scene with FL and FS was so charming and made me really like them as a couple. THey clearly have fun being around each other and aren't afraid to act silly, which is a boon in a relationship.

This was a great chapter as it usually is, Mara. There were a bunch of things I liked about this chapter.
One was the dialogue between Jimmy and his future self. All their complimenting each other was nerdy and funny at the same time, especially when Cindy was getting annoyed by it.
What was the math joke BTW? I think I missed it. I'm terrible at math, so I think it went over my head.
Future Jimmy scared me for a second after he probed Cindy's head. I thought for second that the antidote was wearing off. Turns out he's mad about what Aurora did to April. How will he talk to her about that?
I loved the romantic conversation between Jimmy and Cindy, especially bringing up the emotion rooms and that one ep. I was wondering how they did those things while in each other's bodies.
Now I don't know what's more creepy: Future Sheen or Future SheenxFuture Libby.
I hope Jimmy can outsmart Aurora. She's kinda a jerk for taking advantage of Jimmy's civil nature.
Now how can you end it there? I really wanna see if Future Sheen is curable or not. My guess is he's not but I wanna see what they'll do about it. The next update better come quick or you'll have plenty of angry people around and I'll be one of them! :grr:
But seriously, this was a nice chapter, and I really wanna know what happens next.

You keep telling yourself that, Mara. Remember, I've had a long, long time to plan self-preservation - not to mention my access to TOSOT itself.

You can't get rid of me so easily.

What was the math joke BTW? I think I missed it. I'm terrible at math, so I think it went over my head.

And I quote: "Sorry, I couldn't resist. My maturity level seems to be a cosine function these days." -Jimmy

A cosine function looks like this: Posted Image
So, fluctuating maturity levels ;)

I loved the romantic conversation between Jimmy and Cindy, especially bringing up the emotion rooms and that one ep. I was wondering how they did those things while in each other's bodies.

I think a lot of people have wondered about that, which is why I included it >.<

Now I don't know what's more creepy: Future Sheen or Future SheenxFuture Libby.

Poor FS. I don't think he's creepy, I just feel bad for him.

I hope Jimmy can outsmart Aurora. She's kinda a jerk for taking advantage of Jimmy's civil nature.

True, but did she have any other choice?

Now how can you end it there? I really wanna see if Future Sheen is curable or not. My guess is he's not but I wanna see what they'll do about it. The next update better come quick or you'll have plenty of angry people around and I'll be one of them! :grr:

I love leaving poor unsuspecting readers wriggling in my grasp! MWAHAHAHA!

Awesome, Mar!! The S/L you threw in there was priceless, not to mention my back stiffened a little when FJ went all stern on Jimmy and Cindy. I'm also curious to find out what's so serious about FS's genetic enhancements... But my fave part out of the first part of this chapter HAD to be this:


JIMMY: Quality time, huh? Like when we switched minds, you mean?

CINDY: (rolling her eyes) Yeesh, don't remind me.

JIMMY: ...How was that, by the way?

CINDY: Um, yeah, I've pretty much filed that whole experience into the “never speak of this again” folder. Do you know that I held my pee for 18 hours straight so I wouldn't have to see anything that might scar me for life?

JIMMY: That's nothing. Your crazy mom insisted that I bathe before bed, so I had to turn off all the lights and take a shower in the dark. I almost slipped on strawberry shampoo and died.

**She bursts out laughing**

CINDY: Are you serious? You never told me!

JIMMY: Ya, because you would've killed me if you knew. You can't just saunter up to a girl and say “hey guess what, I just got naked in your body and splashed some sudsy water on myself”. That sort of statement tends to elicit a negative reaction.

CINDY: Oh my God! I can't believe you just said that!

JIMMY: Me neither. Let's stop talking about this.

CINDY: Good idea.



OMG, that part totally almost had me in GUFFAWS-, no, MORE than that; I laughed so hard I could've sworn my face was going red and my eyes were getting teary, almost faint-worthy!!!! That's RICH, Mar!!

Yeah, yeah. You'll be singing a different tune once Aurora decides she's sick of punishing you and wants to get her mack on.

The rest of this one, then one more. Then the epilogue. That's all.
