I accept challenge! Live Action Version... Mark: Have to agree with you on Jared Leto. It's those eyes!!! Jason: James Franco (Spiderman) Princess: Kristin Kreuk ( Smallville) Keyop: Thomas Sangster ( boy in Love, Actually) Tiny: Jack Black (Schoolhouse of Rock). Buffed up of course... Zoltar: Ashton Kutcher (That 70's Show) Mala: Alyson Hannigan (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Anderson: Anthony Head ( Buffy the Vampire Slayer) 7 Zark 7: Jack Nicholson ( it's all in the voice)

Princess: Kiera Knightly, if she could do the stunts.

Alas I wanted to try do the whole cast but my brain is failing me so here is what I have Mark Jared Leto Jason not know tried to think of a good looking guy that would do him justice Princess Christina Ricci Anderson Anthony Head Keyop (child from godsend film or the one from the Bruce willis film think Hayley is his first name) Tiny not known Mala Nicole Kidman or Scarlett Johannsen Zoltar not known 7 Zark 7 Antonio Banderas (definitely a better voice!)

Mala: Glenn Close. Be different, but good.

Working the other way round, and trying to think outside the box: Natalie Portman: Jun Sean Connery: Security Chief Anderson Judy Dench: Security Chief Anderson, Luminous One John Cleese: Zoltar, Luminous One Tim Curry: Zoltar, Luminous One Jackie Chan: Keyop Halle Berry: Malla

Pick a much younger actor for Peewee.

Okay here is who I'd like to see in the movie Mark/Ken -- Orlando Bloom Jason/Joe -- Leonardo Di Caprio Princess/Jun -- Emmy Rossum Tiny/Ryu -- Jack Black Chief Anderson/Dr. Nambu -- Gary Oldman Zoltar/Berg Katse -- Cillian Murphy Keyop/Jinpei --- haven't decided yet

Condorfan! I can see Orlando Bloom as Mark/Ken, he has that metro-sexual thing going for him. But Leonardo DiCaprio as Jason/Jo! Shame be upon you. LD is far too girlie. Any live actor playing Jason/Jo has to be a man! Try again Although, I find your suggestion of Jack Black as Keyop/Jinpei is interesting. As for me, I would go the live action animation route. It's much more fun and has fewer action-character restraints.

Oh, well I like this one. Who do I want ... think would be purrrfect? Mark: Jensen Ackles (Supernatural) Jason: Jared Padalecki (Supernatural) Princess: Me (duh) As an actress, I would probably say Kate , ahh shit, what's her name - Married to Tom Cruise ... Katie Holmes. Keyop: That's tough. I like the little redhead in Harry Potter - but he's probably too old now. Tiny: That dude from King of Queens. That's my list ... SJ

As names mean absolutely nothing to me, Lets "see" who you are talking about.. so..Mark- Jensen Ackles I can see that..

Jaon- Jared Padalecki Oooooohhh HELLS YEAH!!

Princess - Katie Holmes I can see that too

Keyop- Rupert Grint He's got that "keypop" messy 70's hairstyle down pat and can see what youre talking about with his facial similarities.!

Tiny- Kevin James Very nice! and of course "Tiny" is the only one who gets lucky with the girls!

Give Jessica Alba some green contacts and I think she'd make an excellent Jun/Princess....

Now that I can "see" who you are talking about SJ, I think youve done very VERY well! I can actually "visualise such a team" ...

Ooh!!! yes! jess would make an awesome G2 ! (didnt realise you were on! hiya Lols!

Hi Imi--ers!! Yep...I'm on. I usually log on right when I get to work and then check throughout the day. Jared Leto will always be my 'Mark'....

Ah sweet Lord... Funny how you snatch whateva moments you have to log on these days eh? At least you have a Boss button to click back to work Lols! I log on when Ive come home from work or like today, after a day loooooooong droning seminar on more efficient diagnostic testing techniques for reading comprehension, cook ,clean, spend quality time helping with homework then watch some TV with kids, pack son off to bed, finally get on....and barely have time to catch up on threads when daughter wants to relate whats happening on Big Brother, and I have to spend an hour telling her to get to bed...finally time to myself...and its MY bedtime Will snatch another five mins laters! and I WILL catch up[ with all threads dammit! I have a reputation to uphold! Grin and g'night!

Ahh, sorry, Lola ... But I just can't get over the whole Eye-Liner thing he's into ... any man who wears more make-up than me just isn't my eagle ... Although, those eyes are pretty yumiliscious Actually, the more I look at that pic ... Damn, maybe I can overlook the mascara thing ... Yum I could be his swan .... uh ... nope ...nope .... I love my boys from Supernatural .... Focus, girl, focus ... I would have originally thought of Alba for Prinny, but with her piss-poor effort in Comic-Book acting with Fantastic 4 ... I got turned off ... And besides - her hips aren't, and will never be "buxom" enough to pull off Swannie ... Da'Girl has booty!! Giggle ... Oh, and Imi!! So glad you liked my choices ... And thanks for posting the pics, altho you got dinged for pinching a pic ... LOL! SJ

hee hee...yeah..SJ I have to agree with the eyeliner statement. He also tends to paint his fingernails too!! But, it's the eyes that are Mark!! Squint a little...can you see it? No? *grins* I've had a big ole crush on Jared since his Jordan Cantalano days. He can take me to 30 Seconds to Mars and back...whoo! I think Jessica Alba has a real sweetness about her that relects our Swannie. I've never seen Fantastic Four though.... Also, I've never seen Supernatural either, but those boys are hot!!!

I think he looks quite Marky in this one, particularly

oh yes Meri!! I'm trying to read the look in his eyes!! It's almost as if he's saying "C'mere Princess"........

And here is Jason (James Franco), enjoying some down time...

Arghhhhhhhhhhh Yeah, he's hot. Really hot... But BLUSH????? Lip Gloss?????? Eye Liner?????? Red streaks in his hair???? Why is he doing that to himself?!?!?!?!?! Gosh!! A man that hot shouldn't wear makeup... Well. At least Princess with have a girlie-man to share make-up tips with ... Oh fuck .... There's a fic right there! fingers twitch on the keyboard In the middle of a fic ...must not distract from that .... eye twitches and head slowly tilts, cracking in the neck Oh god ... Oh dear God .... Oh damn her! Damn that fucking insistent muse ... I will back away from this thread to stifle the idea .... Bolts as fast as she can ....screaming... ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH SJ

OMG...all of these piccies are so hot! I can definitely see Jared Leto as Mark...and Jared Padalecki as Jason... soooo hot! *swoon*

Wait!! I'm having a flashback!! Wasn't there a fic where Mark loses a bet and has to try on Princess's Swan uniform???? SJ...did you write that one????

Uh, yes, I did. Ken dresses as Jun after he catches her dressing as him. It's called "Busted" Not a real good fic, but it's fluffy.. But, I think one of the boys playing with Princess will be fun SJ

Oh and I see you've given her a promotion!! A well deserved one I might add! Swans Rule!

At the moment I believe swans do rule.... I am working on a little portal mod to count the gatch clans here

Swans rule?....SWANS RULE??!!!!! No flippin way aint no swans ruling!.. Ill soon fix that!

. This I have got to see. Besides Imi, Swans are better than Zarks.

You think? One subliminal suggestion from rustbucket, and those Swans start swooning for their Commander. "oh my! seems Mark is worried over Princess" Response- Swooooon "dear me, the commander looked sideways at you today G3 .." Response-- Swooooooon oh THIS IS WAR!!

Agaisnt who. Swans, Zarks or both?

(heck do I even need an excuse or target to grab the UBERDESTRUCTO 3000 these days? ) Anyone who believes that Swans Rule..and any Swans that belive in Zarks idiotic platitudes!

In that case, I am going to stay out of your way while you shoot all those Swans and Zarks,

Too bad you belong to the Eagle clan...

"Alright you want war, you will get war." Wraps war in box, addresses it to Imi and then posts it.

Not quite what you expected was it Imi?

plucks a whole heap of Cep's feathers, makes poison tipped shurikens out of them and sends them flying towards Metaliant and the postie who dared to deliver the "war in a box". I say expect the unexpected... Very "eagle" like Of Met to send me a package. Careful I dont go Condor on him and go uberdestructo leaving a trail of destruction and chaos behind.. CONDORS RULE!!!!

I will join the war in a moment - as a swan really must defend herself ... However .... I said fic! So here is fic! Part 1. **** Life was a pain in the ass for the G-Force Commander. Too many times he'd had to put everything aside for the better good. Too many times he'd had to fake a smile or complete attentiveness in order to satisfy the Federation heads or the lucky fan of the month who got to meet him& &And too many times he had to squash the feelings of desire for the team's only female. Heaven forbid that the Commander of G-Force end up on charges of Sexual Harrassment because her feelings might not be as mutual as he may have hoped  or dreamt about in one of his prepubescent wet-dreams. Damn, it was getting harder and harder to do that. She was growing up, and in, to that skin-tight, ass bearing, chest hugging uniform of hers. Whichever brilliant mind designed THAT uniform with a bunch of horny male teenagers to ogle at would definitely find his religion reassigned when he found out who& &one slice of the birdrang and there'd be a baptism into Judaism& &.Was baptism the correct term? Ahh, the bris? Ahh, whatever. Religion really wasn't his major & He found himself becoming slowly incapable of denying the young woman anything her heart desired. He had no idea why. Sure he wanted every part of her to be his and what-not, but it wasn't like he was trying to get her in bed or anything like that. He wasn't trying to impress her to win her favour  he simply wasn't allowed to. Nope. Princess was off limits. Absolutely. Totally. Without question. No way in Hell. &But Hell was so, damn, delicious. It didn't help that right now her face was only mere inches from his as she studied him closely. She breathed that strawberry-flavoured breath against his skin, sighing contentedly. She feather touched his eyelids with a soft, gentle touch & With eyes closed he let out a low purr and drew in another mouthful of her fruity flavoured breath. 'Are you okay, Mark?' she asked softly as she dropped her eyes to a palette and innocently tilted her head to her shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes and lowered his gaze to the top of her head. 'I'm probably a little uncomfortable doing this.' She raised her eyes and reddened a little when her eyes met his. 'You don't know how thankful I am that you're doing this. Keyop just wouldn't sit still, and Jason & Well you know Jason's reaction to it.' Mark couldn't help but roll his eyes. 'Speaking of. Are you sure he won't be around any time soon?' She inhaled as her head bounced in a youthful nod. 'Of course, Commander. I double checked with Zark. He has Jason in the simulator all afternoon.' Her wide eyes narrowed slightly in envy. 'New gun.' 'Lucky bastard.' Princess gasped. 'Commander! Language, please.' He pursed his lips. 'Sorry.' His gaze fell to her hands, as she reached for a small tube of something glossy. 'How much more, Prin?' She tilted one shoulder upward in a shrug. 'Not too much, this is just a finishing touch.' Her eyes raised to his mouth as she lifted her hand to run her fingertip along the bottom lip. 'You have no idea how much this means to me.' 'Any ..' he croaked before chearing his throat to erase the tingle of her touch. 'Anything to help.' She continued to draw her finger along his mouth, this time concentrating on his upper lip. 'It's just so hard, you know? I have no real friends besides you guys, and I don't have any contact with &' He took a gentle hold of her wrist and pulled her hand into his chest. 'Princess. You know I'm always here for you, right? No matter what you need.' She giggled. 'Be careful, Mark. I just might tell you I need something a little more & um &.' Her hum and smile finished the suggestion, and had he not been in the situation he was, she might have seen an instant flush on his cheeks. 'As long as you don't refer to me as your girlfriend, Prin, I'll put myself at your mercy.' Her big, green eyes blinked slowly. 'I don't know, Mark. Right now, girlfriend might fit.' He raised a brow and extended his hand for the small vanity mirror at her side. 'Okay, let me see.' She couldn't help but giggle as she passed across the requested accessory. 'You look so adorable, Mark. Now if you'd just let me do something with your hair.' He tilted his head at her exhaustedly before he even dared look at the damage. 'You're in school for make-up, not hair. You're very, very, lucky I submitted to do this.' 'I just wish you'd let me take a photo so I could get extra credit with my professor.' He coughed. 'Uh. No. I have to draw the line somewhere. If Jason ever got his hands on a Polaroid &Hell & He'd be making enough money off the tabloids to retire.' She pouted and kept her eyes low, as if to guilt him into agreeing. 'But I'm so far behind, Mark. I need this.' He half thought about it as he raised the mirror to look at what she'd done to him. He held back a stunned cough at the transformation from Eagle Leader to & Eagle Drag-Queen. 'God, Prin &' She heard the pain in his voice and immediately shrank in self-disappointment. 'Is it that bad?' His eyes flicked to hers and he felt a sudden pang of guilt & She looked as though she were about to cry. 'No. No, Princess,' he assured urgently. 'It's well done. It's just that &' he ran his hand clumsily through his hair, grunting when he pushed off the headband she'd put on his head to hold his bangs back. 'I just & you know. Make-up. It's not something I have ever seen on me.' She pouted and remained small. 'But you've worn make-up for press interviews and things. I haven't put on nearly as much as they do.' He gave the smallest whimper of disagreement. 'Yeah, but they don't make me wear blue eye stuff and pink gloss.' He narrowed his eyes in focus. 'And & Hell. Are my eyelashes really that long?' She tilted her head in a smile. 'You do have beautiful eyes, Commander. Any woman would die to have lashes like that.' He blinked and looked back at her. 'There's nothing wrong with yours, Prin. You have beautiful &' His breath hitched as the familiar musky scent of cheap cologne wafted past them. He knew that smell far too well. 'Oh, fuck&' he said low and slow. **** I had to stop cos they gave me work....If one of y'all would like to continue, please do so .... Shall this turn into an IF ... ... fun fun.. If not .... give me until tomorrow to keep going. SJ

Beautiful SJ!!! I was thinking Jare Leto the whole time reading that!!! And the cliffhanger...oooooh!! This is going to be a fun one!!

Bwahahahahahaha! LOVE THIS! I am waiting for more...(applies more strawberry lip gloss and taps foot...)

I have a team member at work doing a theater make up course and has threatened to do me as god know's what! I can relate to how the Eagle feels... NOOOO pictures of the boss! Good ficcie though and funny....so does Swan do a bet for who goes out on the town or does the Condor get his make over done as well and they all go out on the town with the owl and swallow.... maybe the Snack J drag queens could be making money to pay of thier tabs......to be concluded by SJ cheers
