( It's midnight! Clearly that means your TV wanted to be on, right? Well, even if it wasn't on before, it's on now, and it's playing a rather cheerful Spanish tune full blast. If you look over at it, you'll see what looks like the beginning of a travel show, showing scenery and locations, all with that music playing happily over it.

The images stop playing, and a large church appears, slowly panning down to show a man in front of it. He waves enthusiastically, his smile as bright as the music still playing softly in the background. The only things that seem amiss about him are that he's wearing an old military uniform, and the fact that his eyes are bright yellow. )

¡Hola! And welcome! It's time for History and Travel, with your host, Spain! This week we have a very special episode - it's about Spain itself!

( He grins even brighter, and the camera pans away, instead showing lots of scenery shots, all in tune to his descriptions. He ambles in front of it, arms wide. ) Spain is very beautiful! Both a rugged and lovely country, Spain has some of the most breathtaking scenery this side of the Atlantic! With hills, valleys, mountains, plains, and expansive seashores - complete with warm and welcoming temperatures - it's no wonder Spain's a popular tourist spot!

( The images behind him turn into shots of buildings and cities, his smile still plastered on. ) Spain also has very rich and beautiful cities - complete with stunning architecture and design! Yet another reason to stop on by and see all the sights!

Oh, but we're also going to talk about Spain's very lengthy history as well- ( Suddenly, the images behind him change - no longer are there beautiful scenery shots, but instead it looks like news reels from wars. He still smiles, but it seems twisted, darker somehow. ) -which is some of the bloodiest in Europe!

( The images continue for a while, all with him smiling pleasantly - even as men are getting shot and blown to bits behind him. ) You may think of Spain as a warm and sunny place, but a lot of dark things lurk beneath all that glittering gold and sunlight. So! Be sure to stop by and see all Spain has to offer! You'll lose your head over it! ( One last image - of a man being garroted - plays behind him. And then, as suddenly as it started, the "show" stops - leaving nothing but static in its wake. )

So I'm somewhere between thinkin this is my boss' weird and heavy-handed way of saying I should take a holiday and quit fussin over Parliament, and this being a really detailed dream, which I guess would be my subconscious' weird and heavy-handed way of sayin I should take a holiday.

But more importantly, who broke Spain!?

Do you think 'some sort of skeleton thing ripped my homework in half' would work as an excuse for a paper being late?

Note to self: next time, print it earlier and don't carry it in your hand when you're running to class.

[Cue a young boy about 13 pacing back and forth along the beach. He's got a white hat on and a green backpack on his shoulders, but what's most notable about this kid is the look on his face.]

Uh.

[He notices the video on and tries to mask his face with a grin. LIGHT BREATHS, LIGHT BREATHS. JUST IMAGINE SOME NICE WATER FLOWING. YOU'RE NOW ON AN ISLAND AND SOME CUTE LITTLE BIRDS ARE FLYING AROUND AND THERE'S THE OCEA-- AHHH]

Ok. So I'm like totally not panicking. Nope.

[He closes his eyes hard, as if this would all go away if he did. He opens them after a moment, shaking his head a couple of times in an attempt to calm down.]

I'm just, uh, really excited! [Loud cough.] Haha, yeah. It's been wicked cool being a fictional character! M-Mathematical!

Also, classes? Huh? Where's South 101? Can someone fill in my brain-nodes on any of that?

Teddie tried using "Wikipedia" to find enough information about Spain to locate him but it's not working--I think I need to know more about what he was like here... on the island... can his friends tell me more about him?

Yeah, it had gotten sort of quiet around here, hadn't it?

That was...what, three, four days without anything bad happening? That's practically forever.

Didn't think I'd ever miss having a sonic...anything around.
