At the JLR Runway (really just some pasture land east of the barn...)

"Ow! You stepped on my foot!"

Cowgirl Jack lifts her boot from RM 552's foot. "I'd like to say that was accidental, but I'd be lying."

"So, you didn't like that auction comments?"

"What do you think?"

"Right..."

"CJ! RM 552!" shouts La Machine. "Come on, the rest of us our loaded onto the plane. We're going to leave without you!"

After the JLR plane, the 'Wayward Duck', is en route to Santa Monica...

"Okay, you guys can turn on your CD players and Games Boys now," shouts DND from the cockpit. La Machine acts as co-pilot.

"I think we're going the wrong way, Dun."

"You're holding the map the wrong way."

"Oh."

Wednesday's sitting next to Cowgirl Jack. "Having fun yet?"

"Ogh...I hate flying...Maybe I'll just read..."

"Sounds like a plan. What is that you're reading?"

"It's called 'Comics for Dummies.'"

"Why?"

"Ah..." Cowgirl Jack looks embaressed. "Well, I've only been into comics for a few months now...so I'm a little confused."

"With what?"

"Okay, let me get this straight...there's more than one Green Lanturn?"

"Oh dear..."

"But there's still one Batman. What's up with that? And Captian Marvel...he's not owned by Marvel, is he?"

"No."

"Ah. And this whole Earth-1 and Earth-2...I don't get it."

"I believe you."

"And Zero-Hour..."

Wednesday shouts to the cockpit. "Ahoy, La Machine! How long is this flight?"

"Assuming we know the way to California? About seven hours."

"Good." Wednesday leans back in his chair. "It might give me enough time to explain the Lanturns..."

You laugh at all this but it's mostly true. [sad]
