This week's prompt: The Mirror

Woo-hoo! Sounds like an Agatha Christie title!

That's better than what popped into my head: "Nobody better write something involving Vanity Smurf!"

Not to mention Snow White...

I'll bet you can't wait to write more, I can't wait to read more..... This is quite a set up you've got here. looking forward to next weeks installment already.

That's so mystical, Lunulet! You're going to continue this ... aren't you?!

Lunulet: Very curious to see where this is going. KT: Another very curious here. Wonder what she had on Nambu!

Lunulet... interesting kind of universe... Actually when I first saw the prompt I thought 'mirror universe' but you have done it so well I'm not sure I should... KT, you sure know how to leave us with cliffhangers! I'm guessing this woman's 'information' was as fake as the bracelet Nambu was giving her!

Lunulet -- this is a really intriguing addition to the series! Gatch like you've never seen it before -- and looking forward to your future installments! KT -- wow, this is like Hitchcock movie

KT ... many thanks for continuing the story! I'm seeing that this Bradbury's Jar opportunity is giving us a lot of interesting stories worth of persevering! And, you'll continue this ... will you?!! As well said, you've left us with a another good cliffhanger! And, how kind of Joe to give Nambu a 30 second chance! chuckles ... at least, they were 30 seconds!!!

Lunulet that is one very interesting setting you are creating. Like the others I would love to see where this could lead. KT - That is so very like Joe, to be in a rush to get his answers and insist on giving a very short time limit.

KT - Soooo good again...I love how fierce your Joe is. I can't wait for more! EW - YESSSSSSSSSSSSS ahahahah..There are no words.

EW: Not exactly Galactor's finest shock troops, are they? Though they certainly shocked Ken, Joe, and Jun!

Um, I don't think Joe's defeated. He'd happily slit their throats if Ken would agree to keep the Humane Society (and Jinpei) off his back!

True. But it had been far too long since Jinpei had made a bratty, smart-alecky comment....

Jinpei had better get his bratty comments in before Jun gets back...I think the Humane Society will be called for him next!

Picking up the story of Anderson and Sarah, where we left them off at Bradbury's prompt "treasure" having a quiet drink at the end of the first day of the conference they are attending (I know I'm taking it slow, it's for their sake...LOL!): //Anderson had never felt so at ease kissing a woman in public as he did with Sarah. Despite his inherent shyness, he felt somehow...right...when he was with her, even in the middle of a crowded bar and with their colleagues milling around them. She pushed his glasses higher up his nose. "You'd look great with contacts," she told him seriously. "Tried it. Couldn't get the hang of it. I thought I looked great as I am," he added, a hurt tone in his voice. She snorted. "And they say men are not vain!" "Who said that?" he inquired, pulling her closer. "Do we really have to go back to Centre Neptune in a few days?" she groaned. "Wouldn't you get bored here? Just the mountains, fresh air...nothing to do..." "I suppose so..." They played with their drinks for a while. Then Anderson got all serious. "Sarah, I need your advice on something." "New glasses?" she teased him. He shook his head. "Jason." That got her attention. "What's wrong, Jack?" "Nothing's wrong...yet. But the team is ready to be deployed, the war could start any day now, and I am worried about Jason's ability to integrate with the rest of G-Force." Sarah sat up in her chair. "But, Jack, what's more to integrate? He's been with the team since the beginning of the project. He's well-trained, extremely capable, dependable, and smart. What more do you need?" Anderson looked perplexed. "Yes, but he's also headstrong, stubborn, single-minded and rebellious...and this makes me pause sometimes and think whether it was a good idea in the first place..." Sarah thought for a second or two. Then she took Anderson's hands into her own. "You know why you're probably finding it so hard to deal with him Jack? Because, although you are not able to see it, Jason is the mirror-image of yourself."//

lol, yes DT, I've often thought that too... Still there have been times when watching the series as a child where I thought the argument could be made that they're all related to each other somehow, but just didn't know it....

DT - you mean his glasses aren't actually attached? Hehe! Huh..I've never thought about that comparison... Although the Doctor burns a little cooler than the Condor, he really is a divergent thinker.

I don't think of Anderson as being like Jason at all... but I can buy the argument that he *used* to be... before he got his own impulses/emotions under control. And Anderson can be stubborn and controlling, so I can see the connection there.

DT: You're definitely managing to humanize Anderson quite a bit. We normally don't get to see him having doubts. I suppose his really rigid demeanor could be overcompensation for a wilder past. Mind you, that could apply to Ken, too! (See the discussions about the multiple times throughout the 3 series Ken is referred to as having been "that wild kid.")

Thanks guys! I actually see Anderson as a grown-up version of Jason -- I don't know why, this is just how I feel. What I see in Anderson is great stubborness in everything, which brings him closer to Jason than he may think. Lunulet, there's a great story somewhere (apologies to the author, I honestly can't remember where I read it or by whom it was) on how Anderson's glasses stay on his nose...it involves magnetism...it's one of the funniest things you'll ever read!
