      I was simply walking down the ship, when, without warning, the Stofer Interface opened up in front of me...
    Words were scrolling across it: Mushroom Kingdom, Star Wars, Newspaper, Runescape, Mars and more. I walked right into it. Into the word "Star Wars" in fact. At that moment, though, "Newspaper" flew right into me. Starwars and Newspaper are indeed a strange combination.
    Now I'm floating in an endless void, with the funnies and articles about tax cuts floating right by me. For some reason, the "Star Wars" did a little something to me... I'm wearing sith robes. Also at this very moment, my lightsaber is headed straight for an issue of "Foxtrot".
    Now, of course, with my luck, my lightsaber falls right into it. And so I dive, head first, towards Jason's room.

    A bluish mass encircles me like a cyclone, spinning faster and faster. All of my surroundings become 2-dimensional... including myself.

    The next thing I hear is "YES!!! YES!!! I KNEW CAPTAIN KIRK WOULD COME THROUGH!!! I KNEW IT!!!!"
    A boy about my age, maybe 10 (Yes, Bart aged two years on the trip), plops an iguana on his desk and rushes over to me.
    "So... Star Wars, eh? From the Old Republic, I see. Where's your lightsaber?" He says.
    "It should be in here somewhere... I came looking for it. So, who are you?" I reply.
    "Jason Fox. Pleased to meet you."
    "Darth Barth."
    And so we shake hands... Perhaps I have found myself an apprentice.
    At that moment, I hear another person...
    
    "KIDS! DINNER! EGGPLANT-TOFU LOAF TONIGHT!!!"
    
    The week carried on like this. Every day, repeatedly. In the morning, Jason would leave for "school", I'd bring Quincy into Paige's room and hide from Jason's mom, then Jason would get back and Paige couldn't blame him for Quincy chewing up her things. Jason would bring me his mom's glop every night, and we'd continue like this. In the meantime, I was teaching Jason to use the force, and already he can choke bugs. Today, though, there is this thing called a "weekend", and I fear that Paige and Peter will never leave...

JASON: Oh, come on master, it's safe.
DARTH BARTH: No, apprentice, Peter and Paige can't discover me.
JASON: Master?
DARTH BARTH: Sith do not ask queries.
JASON: Yes master. Take me with you through the portal.
DARTH BARTH: SITH DO NOT  INSTRUCT THEIR MASTERS!!!

    
    Overall, the experience was interesting. I say 'was' because I have left the Fox residence... Being sucked back into the Time-Space portal known as the Stofer Interface. My lightsaber was found. As a going-away present, Jason gave me a box of fake plastic lightsaber crystals, but they will become real when I go through this wormhole. I'm hoping that my currently unknown destination will not be too preposterous.
