Sorry it's been a long while for this to show up. I was having a slight crisis of propriety for various reasons, but I kept being prompted to continue, so here it is.

Don't read this chapter at work or school.

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.

This chapter has been a motherfucker to write, content-wise. I've actually finished this chapter with what was supposed to happen at the end of next, having cut out thousands of words. I know it's been a while but harassing me for chapters just makes the whole process more frustrating. Chill, kids. They'll keep coming.

Be warned: boys are boys in this chapter. We're hitting the mild-R, kids.

Sorry this chapter has been such a long time coming – I got caught up with Hedonism and needed to have my head in the right place. This chapter is almost 2,000 words longer than normal, though, so I hope that makes up for it.

This is a bit of a conduit chapter, with less plot progression than development, so... connect the dots.

I did try to find out as much as humanly possible about the Arma tour and the line up when Joe subbed for them, but it wasn't easy, so I went with what was most workable and what didn't freak me out for personal reasons. I've heard rumours that Joe played bass on that tour, but that was Chris's instrument and there's footage of them together on stage, so it makes no sense. I hope this holds it together despite any anachronisms.
