TheRealMe heads to the third and topmost floor of the West Wing. He goes to a little-used door there and, after supplying access codes and a palm print, he opens it and steps into the dark room.

Inside the entrance is a huge switch. With a grunt, he moves it to the “on” position. Lights blink on, and grinding and whirring sounds come to life. Filling the other end of the room is the huge Wonka-esque Dream Machine created long ago by ManiacNumberOne. Various bits on it start to spin incomprehensibly. Bellows start to pump for no apparent reason.

TheRealMe moves over to the control panel, muttering to himself.

“Lessee… Long ago, the Insidious Doctor Rat hooked most of us up to this thing in order to make us think we were all patients in a mental ward. Now, if I could find a record entry for SimonWho… Ah, THERE it is…”

TheRealMe sets the Dream Machine to download all of SimonWho’s medical expertise. He puts on the huge helmet, connected by numerous wires to the control panel. He takes a deep breath and pushes the big red button on the console.

*****

Some time later, TheRealMe awakens and picks himself off of the cold hard floor, dropping the helmet beside him. His eyes seem to focus on something far off.

“Yes! Of course I can repair ThatWeirdGirl’s brain. It’s easy. Why, even a child could do it! A child!”

TheRealMe, with immense medical knowledged borrowed from Doctor SimonWho, thaws out the body of the ThatWeirdGirl-like person from the Infirmary cryo-chamber and prepares for surgery, donning scrubs and a facemask after thoroughly cleaning his hands.

Then he goes into the operating theater and studies his patient, scalpel in hand. As he plots on exactly where to make his first incision, the body falls to dust.

“Gorramit! Another clone! Hey, Rat! You were right! Can you thaw out the other one from your secret lab?”

Hours later, TheRealMe finishes the operation to repair the brain of the ThatWeirdGirl-like person. With a sigh of relief, he waves up at the onlookers in the observation area on the deck above, which includes Static.

Then he faints from exhaustion, falling to the floor of the operating theater.

*picks unconscious body off the floor and deposits it onto a MedBed*

Honestly, I leave you guys alone for five minutes...

*examines the dethawed body on the table in front of him*

Well... not shabby. Not too shabby at all. That's some nice brain surgery there. But... you've got to remember that there's an art to this.

*leans over and whispers something in TWG's ear*

Watch.

*she breathes slowly then her eyes open*

Welcome back.

TWG, are you alright? What happened to TheRealMe?

*mg runs over to Simon to check on him.*

Um, monkeytail, this is actually our doctor, SimonWho. While I appreciate you trying to defend TRM (in your own, misguided, way), I'm not sure he's going to feel the same way.

*As all the beds seem to be currently occupied, she cradles Simon's head in her lap as she waits for him to wake up.*

TheRealMe briefly regains consciousness and opens his eyes. He seems to be lying in a bed. In the next bed over, he sees ThatWeirdGirl, resting peacefully. Good. On the floor between the beds, he sees SimonWho also resting, head cradled in the lap of Montanagirl.

Huh! During this medical emergency that I take care of, looks like our doctor is busy chasing down all the women-folk! First he's after ThatWeirdGirl, next Montanagirl! Who is left for the likes of TheRealMe?

TheRealMe carefully turns his head the other way.

Monkeytail is standing there.

Huh!

TheRealMe loses consciousness again, aware of a growing but inexplicable craving for tea and some scones. But not fruit-filled ones! TheRealMe is into the purity of the scone.

And flakes, and snowflakes...

After all, we really have much better candy than those Yanks, though they have the best pizza.
