Post subject:  Alternative Universes finished 17/8/07

Thekla von Sift swept gracefully through the corridor leading to the Head's office. She flung open the door and rushed to the windows to let in the crisp, fresh mountain air of the Gornetz Platz.

"Now!" her voice had a strong German aristocratic accent.

"For some swift changes and a new approach!"

Away from the Head's office, where Frau von Sift was sorting through her papers, the air shimmered and distorted in the deserted splashery used by Inter V. A very disorientated Con Maynard appeared.

Was she seeing things? Was the uniform a green and yellow instead of gentian blue and red? She looked at the names on the pegs. Surely her peg was fourth along from the left! Con was very particular about her peg. She would be very cross if Len or Margot put their hats and coats on her peg!

"Mercy! The school seems different! All of a sudden I was writing a story and then..."

Con broke off from talking aloud. She was scandalized as she heard footsteps and a well known voice.

"I'm just in the splashery."

Con knew she shouldn't be in there and that the game was up! Still, Matey might not see her if she hid!

Con was astonished as Matey slouched her way in. Her usual starched apron was grubby and creased and she had a tired look about her. Con was shocked to hear Matey utter the next words.

"Wretched kids! Too much like hard work all this running around. If some kid is dumb enough to fall over whilst ice skating when they have been warned, she deserves to have a swollen ankle. Now where's me ciggies?"

Con was gobsmacked.

"As for that new Head! There's always one goody goody! She won't last two minutes here! All her plans for the school will come to nothing as sure as my name's Gwyneth Poultry!"

Matron or what appeared to be Matey lit a discreet cigarette. Con could not believe her eyes or her ears. Finally Matey's name was called.

"Matron Poultry! Matron Poultry!"

"Cor blimey!" she muttered.

"Coming!" she bellowed and angrily stamped the cigarette out on the floor.

"That's for the new Head!" she said with feeling.

Shocked, Con thought she had better find someone in authority. it looked as if Matey had lost her senses and wasn't her name Lloyd?

As Con left the splashery, she was delighted to see a familiar figure, who looked unusually neat and tidy.

"Margot!" Con shrieked.

The effect on this Margot was very odd. She screamed and burst into tears, backing into a wall and holding her hands over her head.

"Please! No Con! Please! I haven't got the money yet! I don't want to take it from Mummy! Please don't make me Con! It's wrong! it's stealing! Please! I'll do your prep now as you told me too! Don't tell Len! Please don't tell Len! Don't hit me Con! Don't hit me!"

Sob, sob, sob, boo hoo hoo!

"Margot! Whatever is the matter? Get up at once! I would never hit you!"

Margot shivered.

"Get up, Margot!" snapped Con.

The terrified girl jumped to her feet. Con could see she was close to tears and really frightened of her.

"Please don't punish me Con! I know I'm an idiot, but please don't punish me!"

"Constance Maynard! You are not bullying your sister I hope!"

It was the new Headmistress of the Chalet School, Thekla von Sift. Not knowing her, Con gazed at her in bewilderment.

"No, I wouldn't hurt Margot. She's my triplet. I love her."

The Headmistress, whoever she was in Con's eyes, did not look convinced.

"Are you allright Margot, mein Blumchen?"

Margot nodded and smiled into the face of the kindly headmistress. However she still looked fearful of Con.

"Then run along now, the pair of you, oh wait, Margot have you seen Matron?"

"She was in the splashery two minutes ago." Con volunteered the information.

With a nod of thanks, Thekla set off in search of her AWOL member of staff. Margot took the opportunity to run from Con.

"Wait Margot, come back!"

She heard Margot scream.

"Going somewhere, Margot?"

A familiar voice said.

No, it couldn't be, it just couldn't! Con thought.

There was Len, just around the corner, holding a gibbering wreck of a Margot by the collar.

"Let me go Len! Please let me go!"

"Len why are you doing this to poor Margot?"

For a second, Len and Margot looked astonished. Then an evil smile crept over Len's face.

"Yes. Poor Mummy's Margot. Why am I being so nasty! After all, we are having that 'discussion' after Abendessen. You can wait until then, thicko! Good idea Con! Make her squirm in terror until Abendessen tonight! I've always been a bit too quick to deal out retribution. You still here Margot? Skedaddle!"

Margot fled as Len made a sudden move towards her, arm upraised.

"Len, what is going on? Who is that strange woman dressed in the Head's gown? Why is the uniform different? Why are you so nasty? What is frightening Margot? If you won't tell me I shall find someone who will! I shall go to Mama or Papa! Where's Mary Lou or Josette or even Emmy! She's Margot's friend."

"You been at the sherry again Con? Lost your memory?"

"My memory is fine thank you, and before you ask I am not day dreaming or writing another poem or story."

"Writing poetry! Well that takes the biscuit! You hate English! You are a complete duffer at it! Now maths and science! Wow! You steam ahead in that Con!"

"Maths!" shrieked Con.

"Yes, Great favourite with Miss Salter!"

"Who is Miss Salter?"

Len looked at Con as if she was an alien.

"That's it Len! I'm going to find Mary Lou. She'll get to the bottom of this!"

Con stormed off to the strains of Len's raucous laughter.

"Mary Lou! You find your precious Mary Lou and see what she is like now! Not that she was any good, ever! Mary Lou! Ha! She's the biggest joke ever! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Con made her way to the prefects' room and was about to knock on the door when a small hand touched her on the shoulder.

"I shouldn't go in there! They are playing with spiders!"

said a timid voice.

It was Mary Lou Trelawney.

"Surprise!"

bellowed a strapping muscular Josette, clutching a fistful of spiders and showering Mary Lou with them. Mary Lou and Con squealed and ran.

"Oh bless my soul! How terrible! I am so terrified of spiders and ants and flies and wasps and worms and beetles and earwigs and..."

It seemed Mary Lou would never stop and Con gazed at her in wonder. Suddenly Mary Lou realised to whom she was talking. She tried to assume a modicum of prefectorial decorum.

"Con Maynard! I would thank you not to look at me like that! Remember I am Head Girl!"

"But you just cried like a baby at those spiders!"

Con's Mary Lou would never do that.

"And how come the prefects put you out of their own common room?"

"Oh...I...I don't like to spoil the girls' fun! They don't want me hanging around. I don't like to interfere."

Con could not believe her eyes.

"Are you sure you are Head Girl, Mary Lou?"

There was a flash of the alternative Mary Lou in the girl's eyes.

"Yes! Frau von Sift was very particular about saying I was the best girl for the job, because of my moral character."

"Frau von Sift?"

"Yes, Frau Thekla von Sift. The Headmistress."

Con knew that name.

"But she was the first girl of the Chalet School to be expelled! Where's Miss Annersley? Or Miss Wilson? Who's in charge of the Millies?"

"Oh! That's easy, Miss Wynne-Davies."

"Betty Wynne-Davies?"

"Yes! She's such a poppet! Now look Con, I would advise you to read up on your Chalet School history. Everyone knows your mother was jailed for the murders of Grizel Cochrane and Joyce Linton. A pair of kinder, more innocent girls one could never hope to meet. It was only because Frau von Sift persisted in collecting evidence against her that a conviction was gained. However we still haven't found out who murdered Sybil yet, the poor child. We haven't even found her body."

"Burial was at sea." A gruff voice said.

It was Josette.

"I seem to remember a walk along a cliff with Sybil, Auntie Jo and I and we sort of ran into her, knocking her clean off the.."

"Don't! Don't!" shrieked Con. She had never been particularly fond of Sybil, but did not wish any harm to come to her.

"Your mother has a thing about cliffs and mountains. It is believed she trained Jo Scott to murder Emmy Hope on that moss hunting expedition and Joyce was found under the ice at the dripping rock at Geisalm and Grizel was at the bottom of the Tiernjoch. All girls were in the company of your mother. Except Jo, who is on the run."

Mary Lou was quite graphic in her detail.

"But Auntie Madge would have stopped her!"

"Mum would have? Don't be daft! Mum taught Auntie Jo all she knew and she's proud of it! Proud of Auntie Jo too! Can't bear to have a simpering goody two shoes in the family like Sybil. I hope David's enjoying a long stretch in the nick with Rix!"

Josette roared with laughter.

Con was shocked. Mary Lou in this world was a timid nobody who didn't care and all her family were criminals! Except Margot.

"But Miss Annersley and Miss Wilson and all the other teachers..."

"You lost your marbles Con?" sneered Josette.

Mary Lou took Con to the library.

"Now look Con. This is a library. It is where we keep books for loan. Now I know what you think about books, but you must read up on Chalet School history. Who on Earth are Miss Annersley and Miss Wilson anyway?"

"Thank you Mary Lou! I know what a library is!"

She looked puzzled as Mary Lou dusted down a huge black volume and handed it to Con.

"Read this!"

Con opened the book. An act that Mary Lou was amazed at. Usually Con would throw a book on the fire.

Con stared at her mother's handwriting.

"Got out of England at last! Expelled from that school for wet blankets and sissies in Taverton. The police were closing in on Madge after she had stolen all Dick's money. She reckons we are going to set up abroad. Some place in Austria. Urgh! Too foreign for me, but it is better than jail!"

So that's how the Chalet School was formed! Con read more of this distasteful tale.

"Met a kid called Rob who was doing a good business in pickpocketing. Also picked up a vicious St Bernard as a guard dog. Got some sickening goody goody called Grizel here. She will go on about 'doing the right thing' and 'trustworthiness'. Must go for a 'walk' with her up that Tiernjoch. I'm sure she will see things my way."

"Those kids from South America, Evvy and Corney blew up the science lab. Nice one girls!"

"No sooner do I establish a nice little base for myself, than Madge marries some dodgy quack called Jem! I wouldn't ask him for an aspirin for a headache! If he's a qualified doctor, then I'm a monkey's uncle! Already Madge has got two sprogs. David is a right little..."

"Some fool of a woman called Linton has brought her sickly, whimpering brat Joyce out here to be treated by Jem. Maybe it would be kinder to leave Joyce to me rather than be put in the hands of that Jem. His hands keep wandering. I quite like Gill though. She hates that weakling sister of hers."

"Two doctors chasing me! One qualified, honest, clever, handsome, brave and the other, anything but!"

Con smiled at this point. At least her Papa was normal.

"I ditched the clever one, Dr Hunter was boring. At least Dr Maynard has a sense of humour even if he is a yob who likes the bottle. I think I'm pregnant. I hope Maynard's got money. I'll sue him for this!"

"Three squawking girls! They like keeping me awake! I'm never having kids again....Had the op today. No more brats."

Con was shocked. Her Papa was an uncouth knave and she had no younger brothers or sisters in this universe! She looked up in Mary Lou's smug face.

"So there's no Steve, Charles or Mike?"

"Who?"

"My younger brothers! No babies like Felix and Felicity, Cecil, Phil and Geoff?"

"You mean to say there's more of you?"

Mary Lou looked positively sick.

"I have a large and loving family! Where are they?"

Con was sobbing now. Mary Lou was unsure what to do. She lacked the confidence to comfort people.

"Don't cry. I just don't like crying. Your family are horrible Con Maynard, and well you know it. There's only you three girls and that's enough. At least Margot is full of the milk of human kindness. You and Len are full of something else, now stop crying, nobody cries here."

Suddenly the glass in the window broke and a tall black haired woman entered.

"Except you Mary Lou, you cry like a fountain! Some head girl you are!"

Con stared in horror at the creature who lurched towards her.

"Con my girl! Didn't Mummy tell you she would break out of the nick? How's my little thief?"

"Con! Where you goin? Get back ere gel!" roared the furious apparition in Joey's form that lurched towards the fleeing Con.

Con knew she couldn't stand any more of this. She turned into a splashery. It was the same splashery in which she had materialised. She grabbed a quivering Margot (who had been hiding under a bench in terror of Len) and hugged her close.

"I come through some gateway Margot. I'm taking you home!" Con and Margot disappeared just as a furious Joey lurched into the splashery, whisky bottle in hand.

Con Maynard rematerialised in her own world in her proper uniform. For the alternative Margot, this was quite a shock.

"Con! Where am I?"

"A new home from home! You will be loved and safe here! Nobody will hurt you. You will be part of a large and loving family."

At that moment, a scream was heard. It was the scream of a very angry, very humiliated little boy. A cruel laugh was heard.

"Shut up you little brat! Who cares about your pathetic toy boat?

"Hate you!"

"Ah diddums poor ickle boy! What a sissy you are letting a big bad girl overpower you!"

"Grrr!"

"I wouldn't kick, Mike. When I tell Dad you kicked me, he will thrash you to kingdom come!"

"Grr! Sob!"

"Ah! Crying now, you horrid little boy? Is the little coward scared af the beating he's going to get from Dad?"

"I hate you Margot!"

"Maybe he will give you a good whipping in front of the school!" The real Margot teased.

The alternative Margot was shocked.

"Who on Earth is that sick, twisted, perverted creature and why is she hurting a boy very much younger than her?"

Con realised she had made a terrible mistake. She had had a vague notion that bringing the kind, loving, gentle Margot from the other world would calm the real Margot and they could all be friends.

She ran after the alternative Margot who was about to meet her doppelganger.

"No wait, Margot, wait!"

Mike saw her first.

"TWO MARGOTS! I WISH I WERE DEAD!"

"That can be arranged!"

Margot fully intended to hit Mike. She had broken his toy boat for no reason other than she felt bored and wanted a reaction. She needed someone to get angry with because it was the only good way of relieving her fidgets. She could overpower Mike in one of his tantrums with no trouble and he would get severely blamed for not behaving like a gentleman.

"You leave that boy alone you coward!" roared the alternative Margot.

She stopped dead in her tracks as she looked into the sapphire blue eyes of Mike's tormentor. It was a mirror image of herself.

"What the..." both girls began.

"I did not realise there was an alternative me in your universe, Con. Even if I knew that I hoped she wouldn't be a bullying, cowardly, treacherous, cruel thug!"

"Who are you, you impostor?" roared Margot. She forgot about Mike, who made good his escape after giving Margot such a look of sheer loathing.

"You can go back to my Universe! You will fit in perfectly with my sisters there!"

The real Margot looked aghast.

Meanwhile in the Chalet School, the alternative Len appeared out of thin air. This time she had a companion. This companion had long black hair and a leer on her face. Her eyes were defiant and she burned with anger.

"So this impostor comes along, all goody two shoes, then she scarpers when Mum turns up!"

"Well I reckon I've got a score to settle then!" growled the alternative Con.

At that moment, one of the juniors turned up.

"Len! Thank you for helping me with my geography! Miss Ferrars said..."

The poor child got no further. Len pulled her hair back and Con relieved the child of her purse.

"Did I give you permish to speak? Now shut yer cakehole or you'll get a bunch of fives!"

As Len and Con departed, the little girl burst into tears and ran straight into Mary Lou Trelawney, who in no time ascertained that Len and Con Maynard were bullies and thieves.

Mary Lou was on the warpath now. But would she get the right Len and Con?

What in the name of reason was going on with Helena and Constance Maynard? A raid in the kitchens had left Karen furious - her supply of brandy had vanished - and Gaudenz had resigned, worried at the thought of those photographs of Miss Annerlsey showing her gratitude to him. Three more juniors were in tears, their hair pulled and purses stolen, Mlle de Lachennais was found bound and gagged in the coal hole. Finally a gaggle of middles were framed for attempted murder of Miss Wilmot. Mary Lou was livid.

At last one of her prey was in her sight. What made Mary Lou more furious was the fact Len showed not the slightest remorse for her actions. At the sight of Mary Lou, she bounded happily over to her like a puppy.

"Oh Mary Lou! Are we going for a ramble today? Bags have you as our prefect Mary Lou!"

Mary Lou could barely choke down her rage.

"How dare you? How dare you? After you have STOLEN the purses of juniors, brandy from Karen, bullied little children, assaulted a member of staff and framed others for attempted murder! And you ask for a RAMBLE?"

The bell like tones clapped and clapped and clapped.

Len looked shocked.

"Just you wait until Uncle Jack hears about this! What is wrong with you Maynards?"

Len realised that for some reason or other, she was in serious trouble.

"But we haven't done anything Mary Lou! Honest!"

"Liar as well!"

Mary Lou grabbed the unfortunate girl by the collar and fully intended marching her off to Freudesheim, there to receive the cruel and brutal justice of her father! The poor innocent squealed and struggled and begged for mercy, but answer came there none!

The alternative Margot and the real Margot stared in bafflement and fury. The real Con looked on weakly. Aghast, the real Margot found the power of speech.

"Con are you seriuosly proposing to replace me with this impostor?"

"I am no impostor, but I know how to behave myself, you savage!"

Con looked at the ground. She dared not meet her real sister's eyes. It would be so much more pleasant to have a nicer Margot.

"Well of all the unsisterly..." began an enraged real Margot.

Suddenly two voices cut in.

"There she is!"

"Hometime Margot! Have we got a treat for you!"

"I don't believe it! Who's the real Margot?"

"You're about to find out!" snarled the real Margot, who was cross and perplexed at the latest turn of events. She hurled herself on the alternative Len with aplomb. In seconds there was a huge brawl and a sound not dissimilar to fighting cats. Sister piled upon sister and even the real Len broke free from Mary Lou to join the fray. On arrival, Mary Lou was shocked to see two sets of triplets fighting.

She drew her weapon from her pocket. It had hardly ever been used and had been handed down to head girl over the centuries. Mary Lou was the first to use this weapon. She set the phaser to "water cannon" setting and fired at the naughty Maynards. The squeals of rage were deafening!

Mary Lou felt sheer satisfaction as she drenched the Maynards. One of the two Margots attempted to swear and was forced to swallow several gallons of water. Their clothes and bodies saturated, they ended up in a wet splat of Maynard triplethood from two different universes.

Mary Lou increased the force of the water. She was going to lift them into the air.

Now she was getting her own back! Did she ask to be their nursemaid? Did she ask to take on the role of Auntie Joey at the school? Did she want any of that responsibility rubbish heaped on her?

A jet of water hurled into the air with the squelching and squealing Maynards up top. Suddenly a slender hand tapped the wrist of the vengeful Head Girl. It was the alternative Mary Lou.

"I don't think you should be doing that Mary Lou. They might catch their deaths of a cold."

The real Mary Lou was astounded. Then she found her breath.

"Good! I'm very glad. Have you any idea how busy I am as Head Girl? Do you really think I should be bothered about whether these triplets are having another little feud or jumping into lakes or off cliff edges or getting buried in avalanches? I am sick of these Maynards!"

With that off her chest, Mary Lou turned off the water and the drenched Maynards fell to the ground. The alternative Mary Lou took charge.

"Right! Hands up my triplets! Where's Bad Con, Bad Len and Good Margot?"

"Good Margot? Ha! That's a statistical impossibility!" the real Mary Lou butted in.

"I am not going back to that universe! I want to stay here! I am not going back with my evil triplet sisters!"

The alternative Margot looked as furious as her real counterpart.

The alternative Mary Lou had her Margot. She took out her phaser and shot her Margot back to her proper universe.

"No! No! Nooooo!" screamed the good Margot.

Evil (real) Margot simply sniggered.

Evil Len and Evil Con decided to confuse the issue and pretended to be as sweet as possible.

"We shall go back with you Mary Lou!" said the evil Len.

Evil Con decided to stick her oar in.

"Yes, please send us back to dear Frau von Sift!"

Evil Con had revealed she was from another universe by this simple error and she too followed the way of Margot the good. The air turned blue as she went to her own world.

Evil Len was more cunning. She ran to the real Mary Lou and started to cry.

"Oh Mary Lou! Please send that nasty Len back to her own world! I love being good! "

"She's a liar!" screeched the real Len. All of a sudden, the real Len lost her patience and ran at the nasty Len who pretended to faint in terror.

The anger of the real Len caused the alternative Mary Lou to make a terrible mistake and she sent the real Len to her universe. As a result of this mistake, the alternative Mary Lou disappeared and the evil Len triumphed.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Now I stay in this universe forever! You, Mary Lou, I am sick of your voice! I take away you power of speech!"

The real Mary Lou no longer had her clapping bell like tones. She was struck dumb.

Young Mike came running out of the house to greet his favourite triplet sister only to be knocked out cold, much to even Margot's distatste.

"Now I shall rule the school!"

Evil Len decided to keep all the prefects and staff locked in the darkest coal hole in the Chalet School. All those who rebelled against her authority were left up the Jungfrau to be covered in an avalanche. The voiceless Mary Lou was exhibited in a cage in the dining hall and every so often Len would torment her by soaking her with a fire hose.

Orders were given to Karen to serve bread and gruel to the pupils and Len was to have the finest, richest, most expensive food and chocolate ever.

The real Margot made the mistake of trying to share Len's fine food with her.

"Did I give you permission to eat with me?" snarled the evil Len, her mouth full and fingernails unwashed and black.

"No." said the defiant Margot.

"We are triplets and we share everything." she continued.

Len stared at her for a moment then smirked as she pulled a lever and Margot disappeared through a trap door.

"Anyone else want to try and eat my well earned food?" growled Len, making a complete pig of herself.

Meanwhile Margot was not enjoying an underground helter skelter of a ride which ended up with her appearing in the fireplace in Freuedesheim. She was caught covered in soot by Joey, who promptly went into full scolding mode. When a tearful Margot explained about the evil Len, Joey would not believe her.

"Well on this occasion, the school can do without me butting in! I am sure Miss Annersley or Mary Lou can sort this out! I suspect this is another of your pranks Margot! Len would never misbehave! No Margot, I am not setting one foot inside the school, there is nothing wrong there. I suggest you get washed and I am putting you to bed for the rest of the week! How dare you get your clothes so dirty! Even Mike doesn't do that and he's an imp of mischief..."

The scolding continued. Joey wouldn't believe a word Margot said.

Len rose from her exalted dinner table and started throwing drumsticks to the hungry juniors. She was amused by the youngsters scrabbling for a piece of meat.

There was still a black forest gateau to come! She saw Con looking at her in a strange way.

"What you looking at?" Len shouted.

No answer.

"You gotta problem?"

She moved closer to Con, fists bunched.

"Need your ears washed out do you?"

Len got within striking distance of Con, who backed away suddenly and shouted,

"Now!"

All of a sudden Len was wrapped in a sheet and bundled over somebody's shoulder.

Con eased the $50,000 into the Bolivian gentleman's outstretched hand.

"Ay, Lady. Eesso sweet doin' business with youuu!"

Con nodded as the Bolivian's colleagues rolled the struggling and swearing evil Len into a sack and took her to a new life in the rainforest as an Amazon Queen.

Con smiled sweetly at the caged voiceless Mary Lou.

"No, Mary Lou I am not going to set you free. I am so sick and tired of being in everybody's shadow, it's time I took over! I can't afford to have you on the loose!"

Con sank back into the obscenely expensive gilt throne, reserved for the Head Girl.

"Oh if only I had been an only child!" she wished aloud.

It then occurred to Con she had to seal the rift to the alternative unverse. She picked up Mary Lou's strange phaser. The silent Mary Lou looked at it in alarm. Unfortunately Con had taken the safety catch off and soon Mary Lou and half a dozen middles were obliterated.

Con was horrified! She was even more horrified when she saw the evil Josette leering at her. Accompanying the evil Josette was the evil Auntie Madge. This Auntie Madge was different. She had a beard and an eyepatch!

It was not Auntie Madge's sweet and dulcet, loving tones that emanated from her alter ego.

It was a gruff baritone voice.

"So this is the goody two shoes universe is it? And this is the good Con?"

"Yes Mum, she said Sybil was alive."

"That disappointment of a daughter! I couldn't stand her 'whiter than white' attitude. Still Josie, we could do with a new skivvy about the house."

Con was amazed. She knew Josette hated being called 'Josie' still this was an alternative Josette. Were they going to kidnap the real Sybil?

The real Sybil was storming her way over to the Chalet School. She had been quite happily taking a message from St Mildred's to Auntie Hilda, when a passer by had praised her beauty. Sybil hated this sort of praise, if only because she feared Auntie Joey was constantly lurking behind her ready to pounce on her if anybody said, "You're beautiful Sybil." As it happened, Auntie Joey was doing no such thing; but Sybil was still annoyed.

When Sybil was in a temper, it was best to avoid her altogether. Some seniors saw her approach and were about to greet her until they saw the expression on her face and decided discretion was the better part of valour and fled to the safety of the shady copse at the bottom of the field. Sybil stormed on.

She delivered her message to Auntie Rosalie, who inwardly sighed as Sybil flounced out of the school office. She was about to depart when she saw her beloved "baby" sister Josette. Feeling the urge to cuddle her to make sure everything was all right, Sybil enveloped her younger counterpart.

"Oi! Gerroff me!" snarled the alternative Josette.

Sybil was shocked. Josette had never, ever uttered a cross word to her in her life! The alternative Josette turned round and was momentarily stunned.

"You! But I knocked you off that cliff..."

The alternative Josette took a step backwards and then realised her prey had walked right into her.

"What cliff? What are you talking about Josette?"

Sybil was offended. Josette had never rejected any affection from her before.

"I...er..well you see Sybil...Mum's here if you want to see her!"

"Mum? Here? Excellent! Where is she?"

"Right behind you sweetheart!" The gravelly baritone sounded.

Sybil screamed. Alternative Josette laughed.

Con caught up with them.

"Sybil! Get away from them! It's a trap! They aren't really Josette and Auntie Madge!"

"Oh rubbish Con! Think I don't know my own mother and sister? By the way mummy, why have you put a false beard and an eye patch on? And why the silly voice? It's the sort of thing Auntie Joey would do but not you!"

"I'll have you know my beard is NOT false!" snarled the alternative Madge.

Sybil gave the beard a curious tug. It was real! Emboldened by this, she lifted up the eyepatch expecting to see a perfectly good eye. She did not. Instead there was a swivelling replica of an eye. Sybil screamed and fainted. Madge and Josette laughed. They took out a bracelet, attached it to Sybil and by pressing their own bracelets disappeared to their alternative universe.

"Oh poor Sybil! What can I do to help her and the real Len?"

Would the Bolivians be able to help? It would cost Con.

Con raided her piggy bank to pay her squad of Bolivian merceneries to find the real Len and Sybil.

Unfrtunately, she fell over and banged her shin. It was one of the bangs on the shin you never forget and although it is only a bang and may result in a bruise, it really is very painful indeed. Thoroughly annoyed, Con sat back and considered life as it now stood.

Margot was consigned to her room forever by Mama. This had its advantages. Sybil may like it in the alternative universe, she wouldn't have Mama nagging her about attempting to murder Josette and she would be able to vent her spleen and express herself. Len would be able to look after herself and she wouldn't be here to overshadow Con.

Con looked in her piggy bank. Penniless!

She wandered back via the splashery where she had originally gone into the alternative universe. There was a strange but good looking young man in a brown suit and long brown coat. He held a silver wand in his hand. In the murky corner of the splashery, Con thought she saw a police box!

Con felt her heart racing! She felt like swooning, she felt a magnetic force to be with this man!

The man noticed her. He spoke with a London accent.

"Don't be alarmed! I shall have the Hydraburbelonyian rift with the alternative universe sealed in no time! That way the daleks can't use it as a vehicle for time travel."

Con's eyes were transfixed on his long slender fingers playing with the silver wand. Her ears were buzzing and her blood pressure raised.

The young man finished and was about to say, "Cheerio" when Con grabbed him.

Not averse to this pleasing situation the young man found himself in, he edged Con towards the police box and set the controls for dematerialisation and Con left the Chalet School to pursue adventures in time and space.
