NEW STORY Good Morning San Juan By Laura Hale fluffer@prodigy.net Author's Note This is a Babylon 5 piece that mentions b5 once. It mentions the charectors. It takes place about 10 years in the future. J&D moment. I&M moment. G reference. Whamamucka Refernce. Franklin refernce. No offense to the compaines mentioned. All fictional unless it looks like otherwise. "Good Morning San Juan! The weather is a brisk 86 degrees today. We here at WBAB San Fran Com would just like to say happy 10th year anniversary to J&D from David. Looks like those to are well off aren't they sue?" The voice from ancient equivalent of radio boomed. "Sure are Jack. That 9 year old sounded like the happiest kid on earth." The voice switched back to the one called Jack. "Well congratulations you love birds. In local news, Mayor Boxlighter declared that he would convince the 6 year old government on earth to hold the league-of-light meetings here in our home town. This is, according to our esteemed mayor, in hopes of pulling in the alien tourist dollar, which is desperately needed to feed the population left in turmoil by the last war." The Sue voice chirped in "Though the *new* government is an agreement with the need for the non-human dollar, arguments have precipitated to a global level on a method that would be effect in getting it. Our beloved San Juan on the Atlantic is in hot competition with Geneva and Sydney. San Juan is likely to be the candidate that is selected because of our recently renovated convention center with the non-human environment built into it for the methane breathers, we possess the best outside constant temperature and because we have the highest percentage off people who speak non-human languages." "Yea sure do!" It was back to Jack. "Strange to be walking down the street and hear to humans speaking narn. By the way," Jack then said something in adrono. Sue snorted back at him. "Yea whatever. Just because *I'M* not one of those people, do you have o rub it in my face?" "Yea, sure do!" Back to Jack. "We'll continue this after this commercial break... Stay tuned for commercials about *stuff*...." A commercial cut in. "Why those San Juan girls look so fine as they fly towards route 59. They are unstoppable with their looks. L.A. Looks Unstoppable Hold Hair Spray. It's Unique Humidity resistant formula holds up in any climate. It never builds up layers of gook. It makes you so natural and so unstoppable. The hair spray *that* gets the *looks*! L.A. Unstoppable Hold Hair Spray." Then another one filled the air space. "They've *never* lost a court battle. State Farm Insurance is proud to have sponsored the undefeated 2270-2271 Basketball's Women's Mars Planetal Team. This season looks to be better than their last one. Come see as they open against North America's Continental team at Garibaldi Stadium in down-town Chicago." In a quick authoritive male voice..."This message has been brought to you by State Farm Insurance Companies" A nice little jingle followed this one before the third and final commercial came on. " AAARRROOOOO!" A wolf howl. "HELP! AR aR AROOOOO!" "Unfortunately, Eric ran out of BIC TOUGH BEARD SHAVERS on the night full Moon... AARROOOO" "Your Listening to WBAB San Juan, some Music some of the time! Welcome back to the Sue Jack Show! Take it Jack!" A loud authoritive voice commanded poor Jack. "Talking about a were-wolf man, a british chap was hauled off to court yesterday with his wife for indecent exposure. Evidently, he had a four poster canopy bed transported to the park and proceed to make love to his wife there. Upon being arrested he stated that it was something *his* wife always wanted to do." "How romantic!" Sue purred. "Numb-skulled is more like it. It was an anversary gift. The names of the two involved aren't being realesed at the request of the-" "minbari federation. Wonder who's involved? I mean those orders had to come from high up." "Probably just some big wig who got caught with his fly open and ran home to mama crying his pay-check got stolen." "Jack, why so cynical?" Sue said with an almost visible verbal pout. "The guy's probably got a bigger pay check then I do and cost of living is going down." "No comment. Let's see..." The sound of paper shuffling in sue's hands. "Here we go. On this day, 10 years ago Micheal Garibaldi died of a close, high powered PPG shot by a pro-earth faction. After his death allegations about his loyalty were cleared by Earth Gov's Undersecrary Lise, jack can you read that name?" "Nope. Who writes these anyway?" "Aliens?" Joked Sue. "Micheal G. was later honored by a monument outside of Siscily." "You know sue, we are supposed to liven things up out there. Okay, what's next? Ahh, the celebration to honor Babylon 5 10th aniversary for peace is in two weeks. All the major players are supposed to be at the celebration on minbar. Press invited. *hey* I've always wanted to see Minbar! So you going Sue?" "The news, flyboy, he NEWS!" "Okay. Okay. I get the picture. National news: Christina Whamucka, the former shoot off your mouth free lance Smuggler for hire who turned decent, became the head... This has been beaten to death,don't you think? ANway," Sue snorts. This *has* obviously been discussed to much in some circles. "The Inter-planetery Pilots Union by unanimious descion. Earth Gov waved a hat. Since turning into a public figure after the war she's been quite influntial, hey sue?" Sue Snorts. "Yea, I heard she's considering running for president next term with that doctor friend of hers as the VP." That's elicits a laugh from Jack. "At the tone it will be 10:00 Eastern Standard." "Guess that's all the time for our show today." "Thank you. Hope you turn in tomorow for another hour of talk on WBAB San Juan." Sue finishes as the first song of the new hour hits the air waves.
