Another wonderful installment, Chris. I can see Ken wanting to throw people off the plane. I think we've all had that experience once or twice. I wonder what activity he'll get to do first. Nude Olympics?

I hope Ken doesn't down any of those drinks! Who knows what's in them? I feel sorry for Ken. This has gone from amusing to sad, for me.

Ha! I'm wondering what's in the drink, too! So now I'm wondering if he really will have the privacy he wants!

LW - sorry, didn't intend to stump anyone, I hope your muse produces the goods sooner or later, maybe she just needs a little poke to get her started? Chris - Brilliant, this prompt was just perfect for you, now I just hope Ken stays safe in the lions den!!!!

Well here's mine.... They strolled along the beach, hand in hand, enjoying the sunshine on their skin and the waves lapping at their feet. The last time they were here, they were on their first date, this time would probably be their last as a couple. The next time they come, they will be a family.

Originally posted by ChrisW "Ooh, an Aries." The blond practically purred, leaning in closer. "Honey, you can ram me anytime."

That like fits in oh-so perfectly with something I'm working on now! Anyway, You've got me looking forward to the activities as well! (And, maybe when you put all the pieces together, you could get this illustrated...)

KT, very nice!!!! I hope they do have a family!

KT, you have us guessing who they are. Great piece!

Becky: LOL he'd be blushing so hard he'd probably burst a vessel in his face. TJ: I keep trying to angle it toward funny and he's fighting me. Hopefully I can get it a bit more lighthearted soon! The whole point is for him to learn to have some fun. KT: Oooh, a very poignant moment. EW: I couldn't resist after the birthdays/signs discussion. As far as illustrations, who knows!

It's okay, I love a challenge, it was just what my muse needed to get my but into gear and writing again, and now it kinda fits in perfectly to something I've been tinkering with except for THAT song you are my sunshine , my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey, you never know dear how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away.

I'm walkin' on Sunshine....*grin* Here's my latest... "Listen, Pal...stop trying to blow sunshine and jellybeans up my ass just because it's Easter!"-Condor Joe

LOL Springie

Is it just me, or does that bunny look *too* happy? Like maybe there's something in those jellybeans? Love Joe's angry expression!

So far, all the contributions have been hits! And now, here's mine: The Gatchamaniac known to the world as KT1972 stifled a yawn as she glanced at the clock. Almost bedtime. She stood, stretched a bit, and started toward the bedroom. But then the phone rang. A bit late for a phone call, she thought, but what if it's an emergency? She just had to answer. "Hello?" "Is this KT?" a woman with an American accent KT couldn't place asked. "Er, yes..." "Oh, good! This is ElectricWhite calling!" "Oh, hello!" "Hi. Um, am I calling too late -- I'm not quite sure about the time difference..." Even though she was trying to be polite, EW's voice had an urgent tone. "No, of course not. Is something wrong?" "Quick, what's Dracula's least favorite song?" "I have no idea!" "You are my sunshine," EW sang, "my only sunshine...you make me happy when skies are gray..." There was a peal of manic laughter before the line went dead.

'Nother good installment Chris...hopefully Ken will find what he is looking for soon, I gotta feeling a twist is coming up... KT--Nice...and ambiguous enough to keep us guessing...good work Springie, very funny picture...although I could picture Joe being the kinda guy that had a sweet tooth of sorts... EW, very funny...gotta admit though this song has a special place in my heart....(oooh and the muse just bit!)

Hehe EW ... I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head for days now ...

I'M in an EW post!!!! Love it... and yeah, that's probably what I would say to answering the phone under those circumstances too..... springie - love the pic, does the big pink bunny thing have a name by any chance?

Originally posted by ChrisW "Sign?" Ken blinked. Hand sign? Some kind of code? An agent?

LOL! Talking about keeping his mind on the job...However, what if the busty blonde was really an agent? Hmmm.....

"Ooh, an Aries." The blond practically purred, leaning in closer. "Honey, you can ram me anytime."

This line goes to my all-time top-ten favourite fanfic oneliners

Springie -- I wonder if the bunny kept insisting, and what happened next...probably would have to move it to the Rubber Room...

The next time they come, they will be a family.

Can't wait for that installment!

EW -- Can I call you when I'm stuck at Trivial Pursuit???? Or better, should I call KT?

DT! At least you might call me at a more reasonable time of day!!

Originally posted by Daniella T LOL! Talking about keeping his mind on the job...However, what if the busty blonde was really an agent? Hmmm.....

You know I hadn't even thought about that. It would be quite funny. When I think busty blondes I think Joe, maybe once he shows up ...

This line goes to my all-time top-ten favourite fanfic oneliners

Hehe, thank you, thank you. I'm sure I must have heard it somewhere before, but it popped into my head after all the talk about the team's signs, and then I realized it was a perfect cheesy 70s line as well. Which meant it had to go in!

[unrecoverable text]

Awwww, that's so sweet, that he's remembered their so brief first meeting... loved it, and the song fits so well to!

You always remember your first love...

pinching that line K2

Loved it, K2! Very sweet! I wonder if he will dare follow Iona in the future...

Of course, he knows who Iona is with, and that is giving him pause. In fact, he likely knows too much, if he can put together that he saw Iona at the Snack and she's hanging out with the KNT. Of course, Berg Katse can't figure out that the same kids who keep showing up in numbered t-shirts are the same ones who keep transforming into the members of the KNT... EW - That's horrible cruel! What did KT do to deserve such a fate? I'm glad she doesn't mind.

Originally posted by Transmute Jun EW - That's horrible cruel! What did KT do to deserve such a fate?

Aw, gee, TJ! I was just tryin' to bring a little sunshine into her life...

Thanks, TJ, I like to think I can take a joke as well as the next person.... unless the next person can't take jokes at all.... EW, hey, I've been in a pretty good mood for most of the day through this little ficcie of yours, just to be a subject in your story brightened my day, never mind the corny joke it featured!!

Originally posted by ElectricWhite Aw, gee, TJ! I was just tryin' to bring a little sunshine into her life...

I might have thought that too... if not for the maniacal laughter!!!! Are you sure you don't secretly belgon to the Berg Katse clan? Maybe associating with Zark (or your wheelchair associating with Zark) has somehow affected you..... (Pssst... don't worry, we can work in an intense session of Condor therapy to help you get through it...)

[unrecoverable text]

Well, TJ, I'll have to read your fic again a little later after I've processed this "therapy" session...

k2: Uh oh, someone's secrets are getting thin! TJ: A wonderfully dark take on a bright prompt. That heartbreaking scene really must wear them down, having to deal with it over and over.

Oooo...TJ...nice work getting into Ken's head! After reading this, I can understand his overwhelming sense of duty better!

K2- that was so sweet! Great use of the song!!!

Originally posted by Becky Rock KT, you have us guessing who they are. Great piece!

Ooo...Ooo...I know who my guess is!! *grin* Very nicely done, KT!

Originally posted by KT1972 springie - love the pic, does the big pink bunny thing have a name by any chance?

Erm...Big Pink Bunny? You can give him a name if you'd like! He does remind me of Pikachu a bit! LOL

EW- That was pure evil! Love it!!

Springie - I can see that bunny hopping behind Joe, tappig one shoulder and looking at him bashfully as Joe spins around with his glare. Poor bunny. He's just trying to be nice - but he gives me the creeps! EW - Those are the best kind of late night calls. K2 - nice way to bing Dave back into the story. But he might have seen too much. TJ - I love that pic of Joe. He can greet me that way any time he wants. Yes, that is a dark version of sunshine you have there, but its fuel for the fire.

Brace yourselves, people! The muse has struck again! * * * * * If it weren't for the accent, I would have believed Transmute Jun was the reincarnation of every mom from 1950's era sitcoms. "EW," she said with her hands on her hips, "that was horrible cruel! What did KT do to deserve such a fate?" She was referring to a late-night prank phone call I'd made to KT1972 recently...one that ended with an especially corny joke. (Hey, Hoosiers have a knack for corny jokes -- just look at Red Skelton's material!) "Aw, gee, TJ!" I replied in my best impersonation of Beaver Cleaver, "I was just tryin' to bring a little sunshine into her life..." "I might have thought that too...if not for the maniacal laughter! Young lady, are you sure you don't secretly belong to the Berg Katse clan?" I looked down and pretended to drag a toe through some imaginary dust, even though both feet were firmly in my wheelchair's footrests. This act was a bit ridiculous -- TJ and I are about the same age. She let out a sigh. "Maybe associating with Zark -- or, rather, your wheelchair associating with Zark -- has affected you..." "I guess..." "Well, we could work in a session of intense Condor therapy to help you get through this..." My eyes shot up and met hers. "Well, then, I guess I'll have to hold you to it!" Experience had taught me that the matter would go no further than that. A few hours later, I was back at the Gatchamania site when I heard a familiar voice. "Oh, EW!" I turned and saw TJ standing in front of a door. "What's up?" I asked as I wheeled over to her. "You're late." "Late?" She stepped aside to reveal a sheet of paper with the words "Therapy Room" taped to the door. "I think he's a little miffed that you've kept him waiting." she said as she opened the door. "Right." I said with a chuckle. I never expected her to take the joke this far. The next thing I knew, TJ had grabbed the handles on the back of my wheelchair and pushed with all her strength. I soared into the room. She slammed the door shut and locked it. My jaw dropped at the vision before me. Sitting on a bed with his back turned toward me was the Condor....his bare back...and his bare bottom...oh my. My inner 11-year-old shy schoolgirl was ready to let out a nervous giggle and dash to a place -- any place -- to hide. A tiny "meep!" sound formed in the back of my throat. Meep?!? That's not a human sound! That's a sound guinea pigs make when somebody opens the refrigerator door! Okay, I knew my cheeks were so red that they were going to seep blood at any moment. But, damn it, for once I wasn't going to be a shy violet! He glanced over his shoulder at me. "You're the evil prank caller?" "Yeah." He let out a derisive snort, and reached down to get his clothes off the floor. "What do you think you're doing?" I asked in a tone a lot calmer than I felt. "It's obvious you haven't got it in you." he said as he started getting dressed. "Hold on, Sunshine!" I said, unbuttoning my blouse, "It's high time we showed each other what we're made of!"

LOL "meep" indeed.

LOL, I hope you show the Condor what you're made of!

Originally posted by Springie Oooo...TJ...nice work getting into Ken's head! After reading this, I can understand his overwhelming sense of duty better!

Springie, you know me so well! That's exactly what I was thinking when I wrote this!

"Well, then, I guess I'll have to hold you to it!" ******* Hold on, Sunshine!" I said, unbuttoning my blouse, "It's high time we showed each other what we're made of!"

Only EW can make treatment become a treat!! excellently done EW, loved it!

Meep! Meep! Want more, EW!

Haha! Great EW! Show that Condor you're not a shy violet! Love the guinea pig line! Meep!

We all need that therapy! EW, yo must share! Now Jason will be running around muttering: "Sunshine, my only sunshine," growl "Damn that EW! Now she's got me singing that song!"

here's another song I though you all might like! Bring me Sunshine, in your smile, Bring me Laughter, all the while, In this world where we live, there should be more happiness, So much joy you can give, to each brand new bright tomorrow, Make me happy, through the years, Never bring me, any tears, Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above, Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love. Bring me Sunshine, in your eyes, Bring me rainbows, from the skies, Life's too short to be spent having anything but fun, We can be so content, if we gather little sunbeams, Be light-hearted, all day long, Keep me singing, happy songs, Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above, Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love. Words - Sylvia Dee, Music - Arthur Kent

KT -- will look it up on YouTube!

I'll add this to the list. although John Denver is my Kryptonite Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you a day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile If I had a wish that I could wish for you I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high Sunshine almost all the time makes me high Sunshine almost always

This is what I first thought of when I saw the Sunshine prompt... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaCCG7QkM_c

a new form of Kryptonite oh the horror of the Brady Bunch, give me The Partridge Family any day ps good find TJ

Great, now I have all those sunshine songs running through my head simultaneously, and then any possible moment of silence is filled with "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!"

Now I'm seriously confused, EW: sunshine, I get, but who's Marsha? And why do you keep chanting about her? Is she connected to the Condor? Just checking, you know!

Originally posted by Daniella T Now I'm seriously confused, EW: sunshine, I get, but who's Marsha? And why do you keep chanting about her? Is she connected to the Condor? Just checking, you know!

It's a "Brady Bunch" reference; one of the girls, Jan, seemed to always complain about how her sister, Marsha, attracted all the attention..."All I ever hear about is 'Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!'" I felt compelled to throw in that reference since one of those songs comes from that tv show.

Ok, here's this week's ficlet. I'm taking a short break from Anderson's troubled relationship-to-be with Sarah, to look at an interview he gave to Utoland's leading newspaper: "So you took care of these youngsters since they were toddlers, right?" asked the journalist. Anderson shook his head. "Mark came into my care when he was four years old. Jason and Tiny later, Princess when she was in primary school, and you know about Keyop." The journalist nodded. "They were still very young. What was it like for you, a single man, to raise a young family?" "I had a lot of help. Colleagues at the ISO, both male and female, were more than eager to help with the team." "But still, when they became teeanegers, it must've been tough. Even Princess, from what I've heard, was quiet a handful as a young girl." A small smile played on Anderson's lips. "She is the sunshine of my life. I love all my children, these young people I consider my children, but Princess, even at her most rebellious teenage years, has been an anchor for all of us." The journalist jotted down a few notes. "Ok, Chief, let's talk now about the early days of the G-Force project..."

Oh, how sweet! For some reason I've never imagined Anderson with such a soft spot for kids...

TJ--nice addition to the episode..and great glimpse into Ken. Awesome picture too....can almost picture him turning around even! EW--keep them coming, they are a hoot! LW- hubby and I managed to scrape some pennies together in our poor young days to see John Denver, never regretted it one bit.

simply lovely DT, Anderson really does have some paternal instinct in him, it's very rare to see any fondness towards the team from him.

And what did Marsha say??????

DT: I find myself wondering if this is post-war and Anderson is being nostalgic.

I agree with Chris. It seems as if this must be long after the war for ANderson to be speaking so freely about the Team.

Wasn't this the song from a movie called Sunshine, about a young woman dieing of cancer that started in one of her legs and she refused to let them amputate?

DT, I thought the same about Anderson talking so freely about the team and the fact they were his fostered kids.

She never noticed what went on with Jan. Marsha was usually bright, bubbly, and in her own little world. (Something I found incredibly annoying.)

Originally posted by Becky Rock Wasn't this the song from a movie called Sunshine, about a young woman dieing of cancer that started in one of her legs and she refused to let them amputate?

Yes, it is a fictionanalized account of Jaqueline Helton's diaries, written by Norma Klein..It was made into a movie in 1973 along with a television series...(Yes, I had all three novels...)

K2P2 - I love the beautiful songs he sung, but for some reason he just wiggs me out. My sister feels the same way about Doris Day. maybe it the "overly nice" factor of them both Brady Bunch just makes me cringe DT and EW 1999 there was a Yellow Pages Ad on AussieTV were the catch cry was "NOT HAPPY JAN" always reminded me of the Brady Bunch remake movie, it became a part of our lingo and still gets use today

Chris, TJ, Becky: Good points I didn't think of the timeline when I was writing this, but you're right, he'd probably not openly admit to G-Force being his adopted kids during the war.

Originally posted by Daniella T I didn't think of the timeline when I was writing this, but you're right, he'd probably not openly admit to G-Force being his adopted kids during the war.

But what a great retrospective. A huge TV special/documentary about those 5 young people who saved us all. Though it makes me worry that maybe they didn't survive. Either that, or somehow it doesn't matter anymore if everyone knows who they are. What happens after the war is a topic of endless fascination for me in some ways. These kids were literally raised as warriors and killers. They were fighting for peace, but they were fighting. They have never experienced a normal life. What are they like 5 years after the war's over? That's long enough for the honeymoon period of peace to have faded, leaving them with a lot of pain and nightmares and emptiness if they haven't each found a purpose. Not that it has to be bleak. My imagination does like to dwell in the dark, though ...

I'm not sure about a TV special. Maybe a book. And clearly this interviewer is someone he knows well. Chris,. I hadn't thought about it, but you're right. The Team might be dead. Even if the war were over, they'd want to protect their privacy, I think. They were always so protective of their civilian lives. The only other thing I can think is that they changed their names... kind of a 'witness protection' thing.

I ve read a few fics over the year on this, from both perspectives (the team surviving, some of them surviving, all of them etc), and a couple where Anderson gives interviews, but I had never thought of writing a full fic on this...maybe when Anderson finally finds a girlfriend, I ll move on to something else

If inspiration is striking you on this, Daniella, then you should definitely write it!

Originally posted by Transmute JunOf course, he knows who Iona is with, and that is giving him pause. In fact, he likely knows too much, if he can put together that he saw Iona at the Snack and she's hanging out with the KNT.

Yes, but Davy has secrets of his of his own that Dr. Nambu knows about...it just boils down to keeping those secrets or loosing two of the best pilots the ISO has...

Originally posted by Chris W.Uh oh, someone's secrets are getting thin.

There are secrets and untold tales all around this story...as long as the balnance is maintained, everyone should be all right, right?

Originally posted by Springie.K2-that was so sweet! Great use of the song!!

Thanks-my dad used to sing this alll the time, and I in turn have sung it to my kids...a little easy research revealed a lot which helped brighten the tale.

Originally posted by Becky RockK2-nice way to bring Dave back into the story. But he might have seen too much.

Thanks Becky--I kinda like how Davy manages to dovetail himself back into things...When I first started thinking about what happened on the carrier, and how interesting it would be if they managed to bump into each other...I had Davy believing that he was walking in some sort of sleepless dream, stumbling upon Iona and planting a great big smooch on her...(now that would have been another tale, eh?) Sorry so late with this...It has been a busy week, and now I am playing catch up..Thanks for all the great comments.

Daniella--more nice insight into Chief Anderson...one wonders what has became of the team after the war is over...although what I picked up from the tone of your story, is a sadness that perhaps it didn't end well for our favorite characters...

I'd think they'd have to change both their names and appearances (or wear disguises all the time), as once their names got out, people would figure out who they were and pictures would be everywhere. Changing your appearance is a much bigger thing than changing your name. That'd be a big decision.

And would they lie to their potential future spouses?

Originally posted by Becky Rock And would they lie to their potential future spouses?

I suppose it would be like some black ops operatives you might see on some tv show... their cover is so deep that their spouses and kids have no idea...

They leave the spouse a letter to be opened at death. "Now that I am dead, I can tell you who I really am..."

LOL... I've written a fic (just one, I think) where Jason was married too an 'outsider' and eventually told her... after a few years of marriage and after the other 4 had all agreed that it was okay.

I don't remember that one.

It was a minor part of the whole thing. It was Family Ties, which was my Christmas Gift Exchange fic here 2 years ago.

Anyone else get flashbacks to "Fantasy Island" here? Half expecting Ricardo Montalban to be there in a white suit...

He had to admit that these people were good. Hospitality professionals probably made great spies.

Definitely a sinister atmosphere, because it's so "party, party!" and carefree on the surface, but the heart of the place is surely rotten...

Now that you mention Fantasy Island, hmm, I'll have to chew on that. And RI there ... now there's a terrifying thought! Ken finally learns to cut loose a bit and suddenly he's being berated for being unprofessional. Not working great with my efforts to lighten the story up. *grin* But it is what it is!

Originally posted by lborgia88 Perfect! Chris, any chance that RI is undercover at Club Aphrodite?

I think I won't be able to resist after being reminded of the Fantasy Island + RI in white suit overlap. Of course, maybe Ken catches him in a compromising position. Hmm.

Just as long as it's not G-Force taking a cruise on the Love Boat, with a stop-over at Fantasy Island, where they solve a mystery with help from Charlie's Angels, the Hardy Boys and the Bionic Woman! Thinking I watched far too much television in the 1970s...

LOLOL I think I did too. Part of me thinks this is a great idea. *runs away screaming*

LOL, I've always thought that in the white suit, RI looks like Ricardo Montalban... or at least some kind of South Amerian drug lord. I can see him coming up to Ken in that white suit and asking him to fly his plane full of 'rich Columbian... coffee...' Yeah, that's it... *coffee*....

Didn't one of the coffee commercials have the guy in the white suit with a fedora years ago?

Yep, good old Ricardo Montalban... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-0g6mp3g1M

It was him? I didn't realize that. I think of him more as Khan than the Fantasy Island guy.
