GC: So, how old did you say you were?

AG: 6 sweeps.

GC: Sweeps?

AG: 12 Earth years. ;;;; )

GC: ok. Alien calendar. :P

AG: Well, we were around first.

GC: Whatever. What else was your planet like? Color of sky, food you eat?

AG: It was 8lue like yours. Our food was generally the same too, we ate 8urgers, fries, apples...

GC: Wow, your culture is so unique. *sarcasm*

AG: If you want to mouth at me, you shouldn't be procrastin8ing.

GC: I'm the Supreme Leader, I can do whatever I-

"CHERRY PIE!" Nebula splorped inside his office. Cheren yelped and slapped his laptop shut.

"NUMBUH 3621!" Larry MayHence burst in. "Our sensors detected an intruder of incredible power inside the Newbase! Oh, it's just Nebula." He smiled casually. "Ha ha! Didn't mean to scare ya like that!" He left.

"Hm hm hm! I scared him first, by the way." Nebula laughed.

"Yeah, he did that with me the other day. Whatchu want, Nebula?"

"If you weren't doing anything besides goofing off on the Internet, I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to the Mushroom Kingdom and recruit the newly formed Kids Next Door into the council."

"Doesn't the Goddess of the Universe already have everyone as her subjects?"

"Maybe, but it's not gonna last forever. After I change everything back, I still want to build up our allies."

"I'll come along, I guess." Cheren stood up and prepared to leave his office. "I just thought you would've done it by now."

"It's not the same without my buddy." she replied, following him out. "And besides, the people of Mushroom honor stars and Star Spirits. They're probably fans of your father for repairing the Star Rod. They'd love to meet you."

"I guess I shouldn't disappoint. Panini, I'm going to Mushroom Kingdom with Nebula." Cheren told his Global Officer. "You're in charge of the base 'til I get back."

"Cheren, Ay think someone else wants ta come with ya." Panini smirked.

"Who?"

"The pink mushroom right behind ya."

Cheren turned—he was startled by the sight of Goombella right behind his legs. She made big pleading eyes and asked, "Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaa..."

"How did you even hear about it?"

"My-sector-came-here-for-lunch-and-I-saw-Nebula-and-thought-that's-where-you-were-going –eeeeeaaaaaassssssseee..."

"Geez, all right, you can come. It might help make our case."

"YES!" Goombella twirled. "Don't worry, guys, just leave the talking to me!"
