Spacecat stared off into space.  "We must go that way!" he said.
     "What?" said Maggie.
     "I just got this intense feeling that our answer lies in that direction,"
said Spacecat.
     "We should listen to him," said Chaos, "When a Materia Warrior gets a
feeling like that it usually means something."
     Seph nodded.

So for three days, Seph, Lorak, Chaos, Spacecat, and the Sliders trekked
across the unforgiving terrain.  The Sliders got especially restless.  They
weren't sure how to feel about this expedition's erratic leader.  
     "Chaos," said Rembrandt, "Are you sure we should trust this guy's
feeling?  So far, he's just led us farther and farther into the middle of
nowhere."
     "It's the best lead we have," said Chaos.
     Spacecat, who was about 15 feet ahead of the rest of the group overheard.
He stopped and calmly said to the others, "Last night, I had another dream.
What I saw is proof to me that we are going the right way.  I was shown that
we will meet wise people, people who will help us.  If we can learn from these
people, doomsday can be avoided."
     "Tell us what you saw," said Seph.
     "I saw..." Spacecat said, closing his eyes, "Animal Men from another
dimension, Mushroom People in a state of perpetual rapture, and something else
I couldn't quite..."  He opened his eyes.  "What was that?"
     "What was what?" said Quinn.
     "Who was that old man over there?"
     "I didn't see any old man, and I actually had my eyes open," Quinn said
condescendingly.
     "I didn't see him with my eyes, but I saw him.  He was watching us...
Anyway, come on, let's keep going."  He lead them on.
     "Koo-koo," Quinn muttered in a sing-song voice to his fellow sliders.
Chaos shot him a nasty look.  That night, they reached a forest.  They were
about to set up camp, when they heard something.  They heard the crackle of a
fire and the sound of voices chattering.  They moved in the direction of the
sounds and saw three men sitting around a campfire.  The three men quickly
noticed the seven travelers.  "Welcome friends," said one of them.  The seven
travelers got closer to the campsite.  "Who are you?" said Lorak.
     "I'm MCA."
     "I'm Ad-Rock, formerly known as The King Ad-Rock."
     "I'm Mike D.  Together, we're..."
     "The BEASTIE BOYS!" they said together.
     "Animal men..." Chaos muttered to himself and smiled.
     "Hey, I know you guys," said Quinn, "You did that Brass Monkey song."
     "Yeah," said Spacecat, "You guys rock!  But what are you doing here?"
     "We're here to help Bacca's army stop the moogles" said Ad-Rock, "While
injustices have been perpetrated against the moogles in the past, that doesn't
excuse their recent behavior.  If we allow them to rape and pillage now, the
next thing you know, they'll be persecuting Tibetan monks."
     "I see," said Chaos, "but what are you doing in this forest?"
     "Things were getting boring back in Vector, so we used our party location
technology to locate the partyingest place in this world.  It was supposed to
be this forest, but so far we haven't seen any partys," said MCA.
     "Hey!" said Spacecat, "Why don't we have a party right here and now!"
     "Good idea," said Mike D. "Hey robot, kick that funky bass!"  At that
moment, a 10-story robot who the 7 travelers somehow failed to notice before
started emiting rhythmic pulses, and singing, "Intergalactic, Planetary,
Planetary, Intergalactic..." and the Beastie Boys proceeded to perform their
hit song, "Intergalactic."  As the song neared a close, a figure who had been
lurking in the shadows could not control himself any longer.  He jumped out of
the bushes and started to rap:

"My name is Pat
My rhymes are phat
And I'm sure you will agree"

"That there is no better passtime
Than watching Ranma and drinking sake!"

"If you want to know about your future
or you want to know about your fate
just tell me your dreams and I'll interpretate."

"I've got cheese in my pants
French people are from france
And when I'm happy, I do the Pat Shuffle dance!"

Then he wildly convulsed for a few seconds before tripping over his own feet.

Your turn, Pat.
