"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
Ooooh! Love it! Very entertaining despite inclusion of the dreaded Jar Jar. I did get a little lost on who the cops were at the end, but then again, I refused to watch SW Episodes 1-3 more than once, they were so awful. (Anikan's sins for massacring a school full of children puts Darth Vader on a level beyond forgiveness; however, I digress.) I love all the in-jokes and humor in your story. I enjoyed your other story on the other thread as well. Keep it up!
VirginiaR. "On the long road, take small steps." -- Jor-el, "The Foundling" --- "clearly there is a lack of understanding between those two... he speaks Lunkheadanian and she Stubbornanian" -- chelo.
Let me take a shot in the dark: the three cops were Lara, Jor-El and that ninny Jar Jar?
Stars Wars episode 1 was great for one reason only, Liam Neeson (Morgana swoons) who ended up getting killed in the end. What a mistake.
Great way to end the year! Let's hope to see the next installment of Panem very soon.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Thanks.
Including Jar-Jar was the point here (after all, the story was a response to Lynn S.M.'s Star Wars challenge). The cops at the end were the reincarnated Lara, Jor-El, and Jar-Jar, soul memories intact and looking to bring Lex Luthor to justice.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
That was BRILLIANT! I have only one question: Should I be nominating this for the Kerth comedy award for this year or for next?

I already submitted the story to the archives, and Labrat says that it'll be posted there after the New Year. So ... um ... I don't know?

Yep, and that's why Clark had that weird feeling of recognition.

Liam Neeson was great as Qui-Gon Jinn. Supposedly he was going to have a small voice part in Episode 2 (trying to stop Anakin from slaughtering the Sand People), but it didn't happen.

I'm working on it. I keep second-guessing myself when writing, but it's going more smoothly now that I'm on winter break and don't have to think about work and all that.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
LOL Completely groan-inducing, but in the best way!
I have something of a soft spot for Jar-Jar. He reminds me of some of the kids I've worked with over the years (overenthusiastic, clumsy, loud, and ultimately with their hearts in the right place).
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
In a situation such as this, you as the author get to choose which year to have the story considered. Which do you choose?
Joy, Lynn
Well, since the challenge was this year, and the new Star Wars film was this year ... I'll go with 2015.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
Five of the most powerful men in America stood on the platform, awaiting their turn to be "sold" as "slaves" for a week to support charity.
LOIS:
Quote
Bruce Wayne practiced his vacuous look
Selina already made sure to have enough money to by him?
Quote
Donald Trump checked his comb-over and plotted to buy Luthor so he could learn the secret to good hair;
Quote
and Arnold Schwarzenegger flexed his muscles.
He’ll be back next year?
Quote
One by one, the men were sold. Schwarzenegger was purchased by Warner Bros., which promised him the role of a lifetime as a powerful villain who played ice hockey with diamonds.
Boy, will he look disappointed when Batman Forever (?) is finished…
Quote
Bruce Wayne was bought by a willowy brunette who traded a rare diamond for him (one which bore a suspicious resemblance to one stolen from a museum in Gotham, but hey, it was for charity)
See? /points to above note/
Quote
(she wanted answers to questions, such as: why does Superman look so much like Clark, and, why did Superman always show up after Clark made a lame excuse and ran off?)
I guess she’ll have to do an under-the-hood inspection of her merchandise, then…
Quote
Then, from out in the audience, there came a shout. "Meesa bid 12 million Republic credits!"
LEX: Republic Dataries? Republic Dataries are no good here!
Quote
knocking over several people and making children everywhere cry.
And not to forget the grown men! Never forget the grown men in white armor!
Quote
Superman and Bruce Wayne exchanged a look, then stared at the creature, ready to stop him if he did anything.
What if he stumbles and pushes a sharp object into Lex’s chest? SUPERMAN: BRUCE WAYNE:
Quote
From Naboo, which go blasten last week
Oh, Jar Jar…
Quote
"12 billion Republic credits!" Jar-Jar countered.
You can buy 1.2 million YT-1300 for that much money! Or a Mark II Imperial class Star Destroyer.
Quote
Luthor fainted. Superman and Bruce Wayne looked at each other, then shrugged. It looked like Luthor was going to get his comeuppance at last.
Quote
"Meesa see Lex Luthor for sale, and meesa think, 'Lexi has muy muy muy science smarts. He can build me a time machine!'"
TEMPUS:
Quote
Luthor shuddered and took the plans from the Gungan. As he looked them over, his eyes narrowed and he smiled. "Jar-Jar, I think you may be onto something."
Oh boy…
Quote
"Where is dis?" Jar-Jar asked, looking around at the strange world Luthor's machine had brought them to. "This no look like Naboo."
"Of course not, you idiot." Luthor smiled triumphantly. "This is Krypton."
Oh boy. So, time travel takes a planet to achieve? And Lex will cause Krypton to gosa boom boom, thus making Kal-El fly to Earth? LEX:
Quote
"And so I have. This is Krypton, Superman's home planet, just before it exploded. We are going to stop the explosion."
Yes. He will *so* cause this explosion in the first place.
Quote
If Superman never comes to Earth, then I shall rule Metropolis, and then America, and then the world!" He laughed evilly, then stopped, realizing that he sounded like a Scooby-Doo villain.
"And bring peace to da galaxy and stop the muy big boom!" Jar-Jar added.
Oh Jar Jar… JAR JAR: But mesa favorite chancellor Palpatine also promising peace to entire galaxy!
Quote
“I know,” Jor-El said. “It has about ten years, if nothing is done.”
“Ten years?” Luthor looked at them in confusion, then at the baby. “So … who is that?”
JAR JAR: Oopsie?
Quote
“No!” Jor-El shouted. “That machine is very delicate. It can prevent Krypton from exploding if used correctly, but if used incorrectly, it will destroy it immediately!”
LEX: But…but…but… DARTH TEMPUS: Don’t you just *love* the irony! YODA: Irony will lead to Mad Dog Lane. Mad Dog Lane will lead to Lovey Dovey Clark. Lovey Dovey Clark will lead to Suffering. LEX: YODA: See? Hurt his head now does.
Quote
“Nobody panic! Everyone is to report to their family’s evacuation ship immediately! Be sure to secure all infants in the smaller life pods! Hurry! You have only a few minutes!” There was a loud rumble, followed by an explosion. “Oh, %$^$#%!” the voice shouted before the intercom was abruptly cut off.
Quote
Luthor grabbed the baby from Lara’s arms, intending to throw him into the gaping hole that had opened in the floor.
Only very bad people kill younglings! ANAKIN:
Quote
Distracted by Lara’s attack, Luthor couldn’t stop Jar-Jar from snatching the baby from him. Kal-El, who had been screaming, looked at Jar-Jar’s face and started giggling.
GEORGE: See? Babies *like* him!
Quote
“You idiot!” Jor-El shouted. “The coordinates weren’t finished! He was supposed to go to New Krypton! Now he’ll wind up on Earth!”
The look on Lex’s face was priceless.
LEX:
Quote
There would be time to contemplate their strange familiarity later — assuming Lois let him live.
Quote
He knew he was in trouble when she looked at him and murmured, “Clark, you have a lot of explaining to do.”
CLARK:
That was fun! And nobody got bisected!

Join us on the #loisclark Discord server! We talk about fanfic, our favorite show, life, and more! (It’s almost like the IRC days of old again!)
This. Was. BRILLIANT!! I could not stop laughing!!
(I never hated Jar-Jar as much as most people seem to... he was always more amusing than annoying. Nice to see him actually doing something RIGHT for a change... at least from a certain point of view!)
Also, Lex Luthor talking like Jar-Jar is one of the most hilarious things I've seen this year!
