Marigold
Her name was Rosemary Pike, the prettiest, kindest, gentlest girl in the entirety of the world...our sixth grade class. She was the woman who I loved before I even liked girls; and definitely before most of our classmates would have been interested in romance. She had been pretty since long before most of our other female classmates had blossomed. Furthermore, she had always been a kind, generous, and gentle soul from anyone whom had sought her attention since she had always been so pretty. I would let the other guys pursue the newly blossomed, and somewhat stuck-up, girls. My sights remained set on winning Rosemary's heart; not for conquest, but for keeps...

The Package
My car pulled onto campus for the first time. I was "home" for the next several years. The long drive across Michigan, having gotten a late start, got me to campus at a fairly late hour. It took a couple of attempts but I finally elbowed my car door open and took my keys with me. My luggage could wait for a moment as I determined which apartment key would actually work the best.

CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE
"...So, this is going to be for MY party; and it HAS TO BE 'epic'!" Cassie Cline glanced across the lunch table at Catie Caron and Dana Bragg. The trio of ten year olds (with Cassie being the one about to turn eleven) were at their exclusive table in the cafeteria. Even at ten years old, Cassie thought that she deserved the notoriety of such exclusivity.

Aquamarine and Great White
Calling Aquamarine; calling aquamarine... The Teen Justice Team didn't hear any call for all of them. T.J., Teen Justice's supernatural leader, understood the transmission and turned directly to Maureen Tosh, the aforementioned Aquamarine. Golden Glider (Vance Harper), Solara (Sarah Myles), Steelor (Rex Nash), and T.J. himself could sit this one out. T.J. handed the headset to the teen with the aquatic abilities.

Frustrated Video Game Guy
Welcome. I’m just going to put this out there right off the bat; a guy who still collects action figures well into his mid-thirties, still watches (and ENJOYS, no less than in his youth) his old animated DVDs, and loves music is, naturally, going to be a video gamer too.

Top 10 TV Cartoons of the 80’s…
Hey, everybody. Self-professed animation nerd here; with a birthday in the 80s. So, what child of the 80s didn’t enjoy a plethora of syndicated animation (with the toys, VHSes, comic books, and occasional story books that went with them)?

Stolen Heart
"The Future is Male Again..." The hijacked Aerojet's cameras picked up the tag on the side of the building. The pilot responsible for hotwiring the wayward aircraft chuckled at the irony of the reverse message. Katina Bryson had lived to see the day when women were treated as superior to men (and only slightly beneath machines); but at what cost to civil relations...?

AN ANATOMY OF A COLD CALL
Me again; your friendly neighborhood “Vocal” correspondent and self-published Fiction author awaiting the ONE manuscript that will mark my “big break.” I mean, I’ve wanted to write fiction since I was around four; and I’ve stuck with that dream for 32-33 years (let’s just say that I don’t write on the side to justify my locker-room cleaning or ice-cream registering habits). So I must DESERVE my big break, right; if, for no other reason, than because I’ve waited this long?

LOTEK
I did present technology to both sides; my own people in the Underdwellers and to the Skylanders. I even did so in equal parts, giving an advantage for a time, just before taking it away. I did what I did; and my heart was in the right place for it. The technology for the Underdwellers was to aid in our survival. The technology for the Skylanders, even in war technology, was meant as a peace offering. I wanted an end to this conflict and a chance to come out of our tunnels and attempt to clean up the land and air of our Sixth Earth to make it walkable once more. I did not understand the full consequences of what I had done until the night that I witnessed the Skylander assault on three of our own people on a mere mission of unity with the Aquatitans. I witnessed that conflict and meant to stop the fight. It did not work out as I watched as our leader and our greatest warrior were injured; perhaps mortally if not for the cybernetic shield tech that I had instilled into them. Thankfully, I did watch as the youngest among us, the bravest yearling of us all, could escape the fire fight; a fire fight that felled me in her place. Three of us lie wounded because of a misunderstanding between two groups. Only I deserved such a temporary fate until we could all be taken back below as the Skylanders fled in victory. I did what I did; and I deserve this cell now; at least, until my trial…

SKYLANDERS
REPORT FROM SILVERWING: “We’re the good guys. Our ancestors went above and beyond the call of duty to battle an intergalactic mob boss. That heritage makes us VALIANT! The denizens of Sixth Earth trust our authority for the most part. The Underdwellers still require our persuasion; and the Aquatitans, despite our best bids for their support, have not chosen aside. The Aquatitans have yet to choose to be our allies in a benevolent rule over Sixth Earth; I have not lost enough hope to declare them our enemies. Yet.
