Rating: R at absolute max.

Words: c. 6,500 this chapter.
Author's notes: This fic is written in a slightly AU timeline, where Andy joins the band straight away. One or two formerly key players may also be conspicuous by their absence...

This chapter is somewhat transitional - no great strides in plot are made, but it aligns things for them to progress to the next phase of the story.

This chapter almost never happened. It was born from a 'deleted scene' from the text which will be chapter fourteen, which I showed to heyginger who then convinced me it needed to exist. Ultimately, this is a bonus chapter written, for the most part, in the space of two days.

Chapter fourteen is being reworked to accommodate some information which was shifted around a little, and should be completed very soon.

IMPORTANT: At the end of this fic are some references to a show called Mork & Mindy. For those who are young enough to make me feel old too young to remember the show (even as reruns in the 1990s), Mork was a mildly insane alien from the planet Ork, played by Robin Williams. He arrived on Earth in a space craft shaped like an egg and drank through his finger. It'll all make sense in about 7,000 words time, I promise.

Believe it or not, this is really only half a chapter. Yes, 5,000 words of 'half a chapter'. It's going a little slowly, right now, but you can expect a time jump in a couple of chapters' time, I promise!
