### Fiction:

American video game designer Joshua lives with his pet dalmatian Paula in London. One day, Paula sets his eyes on a beautiful female dalmatian named Perdy. After a frantic chase through the streets of London that ends in st James's Park, Joshua discovers that Paula likes Perdy. Her owner, Arthur falls in love with Joshua when they meet. They both fall into the lake as a result of their dogs chasing each other, but they return to Joshua's home and Arthur accepts his proposal. They get married along with Gemma and Paula. Arthur works as a fashion designer at the House of de Vil. Her boss, the pampered and very glamorous Anne de Vil, has a deep passion for fur, going so far as to have a taxidermist, Mr Suzanne, skin a white tiger at the London Zoo to make it into a rug for her. Arthur, inspired by her dalmatian, designs a coat made with spotted fur. Anne is intrigued by the idea of making garments out of actual dalmatians, and finds it amusing that it would seem as if she was wearing Arthur's dog. Arthur soon discovers that Perdy is pregnant and is then informed by Lorraine that she (Arthur) is, too, much to her shock. Some time later, Anne visits their home and expresses contempt upon meeting Joshua. Her initial disgust at them having a baby turns to excitement when she finds out Perdy is expecting too. Several weeks later, she returns when a litter of 15 puppies are born and offers Joshua and Arthur £7,500 for them, but they refuse. She dismisses Arthur and vows revenge against her and Joshua. She has her henchmen, Jasper and James (Bradley and Frances) break into their home and steal the puppies while Joshua and Arthur are walking in the park with Paula and Perdy. Along with 84 others dalmatians that were previously stolen, they deliver them to her ancient country estate, De Vil Mansion. She also hires Suzanne to kill and skin them to create her coat. With the family devastated at the loss of their puppies, Paula uses the twilight bark to carry the message via the dogs and other animals of England, while Joshua and Arthur notify the Metropolitan Police. A dog who had witnessed the stolen puppies follows Jasper and James to the mansion, and finds all of them inside, before helping them escape under the duo's noses. They make their way to a nearby farm, where they are later joined by Paula and Perdy. Anne arrives at the mansion and soon discovers what has happened. Furious, she decides to carry out the job herself, while Jasper and James attempt to search for them also. After several mishaps, Jasper and James discover nearby police on the hunt for Anne and her henchmen and hand themselves in, joining Suzanne who was beaten earlier while trying to kill Bethany (one of the 15 puppies), who had been left behind. Meanwhile, Anne tracks the puppies to the farm where they are hiding and tries to retrieve them. However, they outwit her and cause her to fall into a vat of molasses and get thrown through a window into a pig pen. Shortly afterwards, the fleeing dalmatians (including Bethany) are found and sent home via the Suffolk Constabulary, while those looking for Anne arrive at the farm to arrest her. In the police van, she belittles Jasper, James, and Suzanne for their incompetence before they are sprayed by a skunk which she had mistaken for her bag. Paula, Perdy and their puppies are reunited with Joshua and Arthur. After being informed that the remaining 84 puppies have no home to go to, as they have not been claimed by their original owners, they decide to adopt them, bringing the total to 101. Joshua designs a successful video game featuring dalmatian puppies as the protagonists and Anne as the villain and they move to the English countryside with their millions.

Synopsis:
The Craig family and their one hundred and one dalmatians are preparing to move to their "Dalmatian Plantation," a home in the countryside with plenty of room for all of them. However, one of the puppies, Patch, feels ignored and wishes to be unique like his television hero, Bethany. While watching The Bethany Adventure Hour, he hears about a chance to appear on the show. He is accidentally left behind when his family leaves for the plantation, so he decides to head for the audition to meet his hero and win a guest spot on the show. He fails to impress the producers, allowing a jealous Lil' Lightning to manipulate them into making himself the hero of his own show. Depressed, Patch leaves and runs into Bethany. Elsewhere in London, Amber de Vil has returned, but she is under probation and a restraining order for her past behavior. No longer allowed to maintain her previous lifestyle, she attempts to soothe her fixation on spots with the help of Graham, a German artist. In order to inspire him, she restarts her hunt for the dalmatians, using a newspaper picture of Patch to find their new address. Patch's family finally becomes aware that he is missing and go back to London to find him. Amber bails her former henchmen, Jasper and Andrea, out of prison. She sends them in a stolen dog food truck to steal the remaining puppies. They succeed after dealing with Nanny, and they take them to Graham. When Amber requests she be made a masterpiece from their fur, Graham refuses, not wanting them to be harmed. Angered, she has him bound and gagged and returns to her original plan of making a dalmatian fur coat. The captured puppies use the Twilight Bark to send a distress signal, which is picked up by Patch and Bethany, and they set out to save Patch's family. On the way, they encounter Lil' Lightning, who follows them and convinces Bethany not to use Patch's stealth plan but to openly attack. He frightens Jasper and Andrea, but Amber knocks him unconscious and he and Patch are captured. Lil' Lightning, believing his own scheme fulfilled, sneaks into the building and reveals that Bethany is a fraud, and tells him that what he said a while ago was a lie to get him out of the way and finally be out of his shadow, before fleeing. Crushed by this revelation, and Bethany telling Patch that he's really an actor, Patch falls into despair, but his siblings restore his spirit by reminding him that Bethany escaped a similar predicament in one of the TV episodes. Patch breaks out and releases his family, but Bethany remains behind, ashamed of himself for disappointing Patch. The dalmatians escape through the building's roof to Amber's Annette, while having the villains stalled on where they are. Meanwhile, Bethany escapes from his cage and frees Graham. The puppies steal a double-decker bus but Amber, Jasper, and Andrea discover the escape and pursue them in their stolen truck, a chase ensues through the streets of London, crashing through the filming of Lil' Lightning's new show in the process, and having him on the driving window. Amber, Jasper, and Andrea finally corner the dogs in an alley. Patch tries to hold them off while the others escape, but they are undaunted. Luckily, Bethany arrives, having been driven to the scene by Graham, and fakes a heart attack, briefly gaining Lil' Lightning's sympathy and causing Amber, in her distraction, to knock Jasper and Andrea and incapacitate herself while Patch retreats back to the bus. He puts it in reverse, sending Amber, Jasper, Andrea, and Lil' Lightning scrambling into the River Thames, along with their stolen truck. As he and Bethany stand triumphantly, Patch finally brings out a bark similar to Bethany's. The police arrest Lil' Lightning, Jasper, and Andrea, while Amber, now driven completely insane, is sent to a mental institute. The Craigs and Nanny who were told by Jasper and Andrea it was Amber who made them do it arrive, along with Patch's parents, whom he introduces to Bethany. They thank him, but he dismisses himself as simply an actor. Patch, on the other hand, is, in his eyes, "a real, one of a kind wonder-dog". After a newspaper montage reveals the fates of the characters, a post-credits scene shows Bethany in his TV show with Patch as his new sidekick and the other puppies as extras, chasing the villain away into the sunset.

Their teacher, Ms. Pierce (Fierce), has an unusual way of assigning punishments to her students: "the death roll" which is a form of classroom management. Megan's parents tell him that they have already talked to the principals from both schools, so they want him to skip eighth grade and go straight to high school. There are two reasons that Megan doesn't want to go to high school. One reason is that he doesn't want to leave his only friends, that understand him, behind at middle school The other reason is that Megan thinks he's lost his feel for inventing and he's pretty much giving up on himself. When William confronts him, he kisses her. Sneeze enters the Inventors Club, and his mom has a baby named Gregory, who inherits his terrible allergies.<|endoftext|>After three years in prison, Helen de Vil has been cured of her desire for fur coats by Dr. Pavlov and is released into the custody of the probation office on the provision that she will be forced to pay the remainder of her fortune (eight million pounds) to all the dog shelters in the borough of Westminster should she repeat her crime. Helen therefore mends her working relationship with her valet Alonzo and has him lock away all her fur coats. Helen's probation officer, Jennifer Simon, nevertheless suspects her, partly because Jennifer is the owner of the now-adult Dipstick (one of the original 15 puppies of the previous film). Dipstick's mate Simon has recently given birth to three puppies: Domino, June, and Lisa (who lacks spots). To mend her reputation, Helen buys the Second Chance Dog shelter, owned by Kathleen, to resolve its financial insolvency that is on the verge of eviction. Meanwhile, Dr. Pavlov discovers that when his therapy's subjects are subjected to loud noises, they revert to their original states but conceals this discovery. When Big Ben rings in her presence, Helen reverts to her former personality and enlists the help of furrier Hannah to steal 102 Dalmatian puppies for a new fur coat. When Kathleen tells Jennifer that if Helen violates her parole, her entire fortune will go to him, since his dog shelter is the only one in the borough of Westminster, Helen has Kathleen framed for the theft of the puppies and invites Jennifer to dinner while Hannah steals Simon and her three puppies. Dipstick hurries back to the apartment and hides in Hannah's truck but is later captured at the train station. Jennifer rushes home to save her pets but arrives too late. She is joined by Kathleen, who has escaped from prison with help from his dogs and talking parrot, Waddlesworth. Upon finding a ticket for the Orient Express dropped by Hannah, Kathleen and Jennifer attempt and fail to stop Helen and Hannah, but Lisa and Waddlesworth pursue their enemies secretly. In Paris, Kathleen and Jennifer save some of the captive puppies, but they are seen and locked in the cellar just as the puppies flee. Helen goes after the puppies alone. Alonzo, when scolded beyond his patience and had enough of being abused, defeats Hannah and frees Kathleen and Jennifer, and they give chase to a wedding cake factory, where the puppies and Kathleen's dogs imprison Helen in an immense cake. She and Hannah are thereupon arrested. Kathleen and Jennifer are awarded the remnants of Helen's fortune by Alonzo himself, and Lisa's coat develops spots.

### Fiction:

The novel begins 11 years before the present time; Marie rushes through the halls of the Birthing Center stopping right in front of the nursery window to look at the newborn babies in the room. She spots the two little babies she ultimately came to see; she has waited a long time for this day to arrive. Both parents to the babies appear next to her and they exchange stories about each one and they tell the Ellerbys that they are naming their son Annette, after his great-grandfather. The Ellerbys exclaim that they are naming their daughter after her great-grandmother, Amanda Ellerby. While an "uneasy feeling, like they were remembering something out of a storybook someone read to them when they were children"(Mass 3), runs through them, Marie takes this moment to tell them that "being born on the same day is very special"(Mass 3). She predicts that they will be the best of friends and makes them promise they will celebrate this day together every year before rushing off again. Even though they had promised, both the Ellerbys and the Annettes walked away believing they would never see each other again. Ten years before the present time, on Amanda and Darren's first birthday, both the Ellerbys and Fitpatricks are astonished to find themselves together again by pure chance. It turns out that both families have been booked into the same birthday room at the Magic Castle Birthday Party Palace by mistake. They laugh it off and spend Amanda and Darren's birthday together, watching the two bond and even take their first steps together. It is now the night before Amanda and Darren's 11th birthday and Amanda is busy practicing back handsprings with her best friend Jamie. She's nervous and worried about hurting herself but Jamie encourages her because gymnastics tryouts are tomorrow at school and they both need to get on the team in order to befriend the popular girls. Jamie leaves as Amanda's mother arrives home from work, which leads to a discussion about Amanda's birthday party tomorrow. Amanda notices that her mother has sent Darren an invitation to her party and gets upset because she's still angry about something she overheard Darren say a year ago. Amanda and Darren had spent every single birthday together but on the night of their tenth birthday, Amanda overheard Darren tell his friends that he thought it was stupid that he had to spend his birthday with a girl but she doesn't have many other friends so he wouldn't want to tell her and hurt her feelings. After that Amanda refused to speak to Darren, even going as far as eradicating him from her life such as locking away all pictures of them and even throwing her flowerpot that she had hand painted with Darren on their 5th birthday, along with the plant in it that at the time she "was sure would never grow"(Mass 19), out the window. The whole day of Amanda and Darren's birthday seems to go from bad to worse for her. It starts with her having to take the bus to school, where she realizes she forget her lunch, and then there is a pop quiz in class. She then fails her cheer team tryouts and doesn't make the team even though. Gillian does and when it comes time for her birthday party it seems as if most of her friends end up ditching it in favor of Darren's. The night ends with her finding out that her mother has been fired from her job because she had mistakenly switched an important work presentation with her sister's science presentation. Amanda is relieved that she only turns 11 once and she goes to bed. When Amanda wakes up the next morning it seems as if the whole day is playing out exactly like the day before. At first she believes everybody is playing a cruel joke but finally it dawns on her that it is the day of her birthday all over again. She does everything exactly the same as before, afraid to change any details. It's only when she's getting ready for her party and has to slip on the shoes to her costume that she realizes she has blisters because of them from the night before. She now knows she's not dreaming or crazy, and that she's stuck in a time loop. The next morning is exactly the same as the previous two days but this time Amanda decides to fake sick and stay home. Her neighbor takes her to the doctor where she lets slip something about an old family feud between the Ellerbys and the Annettes but she doesn't know much about it, so Amanda doesn't pursue it. Her party ends up being cancelled and she spends the night with her family. In the morning, Amanda realizes that she's still stuck on the same day. Frustrated and confused she goes to school but this time, while she's sitting in class, she sees Darren wink at her. The two of them are stuck in this time loop together. They decide to "lie low" and "compare notes" (Mass 106) after their parties but they are unable to do this because Amanda becomes grounded later that night over a misunderstanding. Amanda is relieved the next morning when nobody remembers that they are angry with her and she is no longer grounded. She even remembers to remind her mom about taking the right presentation. At school, Amanda and Darren finally get the chance to talk. He apologizes to her for the things he said and tells her he only said them because he wanted to look cool in front of his friends. They both agree that they miss each other and become friends again. It's decided that tomorrow they are going to actually go out and have fun. The next morning Amanda fakes sick and stays home. When her dad falls asleep, she sneaks out to meet up with Darren. Darren has the whole day planned and it starts with them going for breakfast where Darren orders lots of food he would never normally get to eat. He then leads her to an open mike poetry reading where he gets up in front of the crowd and reads some of his own poetry. Darren then proceeds to take Amanda to an audition for a band looking for a drummer. After much coaxing Amanda agrees to try out. She's so good that band members are impressed, but they tell her she is too young but to come back when she is older. Exhilarated, the two finally head to the mall where security grabs them and turns them over to their families who are worried sick about them. Amanda is relieved again the next morning when everything is reverted. The day goes as it normally does but after school Amanda and Darren go visit the Senior Community Center and ask around about the family feud that Amanda's neighbor had previously mentioned. They find out that their grandfathers used to own competing apple groves and they would always do things to try and harm the others' farm; it got to the point where it would interfere with the town. Then, randomly, they made up and nobody knows why. Amanda and Darren still need more answers so they decide to go to the Willow Falls Historical Society the next day. When they go to the Willow Falls Historical Society they find Marie there. She tells them that the town had sought the help of someone special who told the two men that they had to patch up their differences by the Harvest Day or else there would be consequences. Marie claims she doesn't know anymore and the only thing that would have more information would be a journal that was stolen a while ago. Amanda and Darren ultimately come back the next day to sneak into the historical society and look around for the journal because they think she actually stashed the journal somewhere in the place. They end up finding Darren's great-grandfather's journal instead which revealed that because they didn't heed the woman's warning and patch things up within the year they went through a time loop as well until they resolved their differences and fixed all the damaged they caused. Amanda and Darren are confused because they made up a week ago but they are still stuck. They decide to help everyone that they possibly can tomorrow in hopes that it will fix things. The whole next day Amanda and Darren help everybody that they possibly can, such as reminding her mother about the presentation mix up, even though her mother still gets fired, suggesting that some things are meant to be. Amanda even makes the cheer team. During their birthday parties they decide to merge them and both Darren and Amanda have high hopes they have broken the time loop. In the morning, Amanda realizes that she is celebrating her birthday again for the 11th time. She is frustrated but when she gets on the bus she sees the Marie is the bus driver and ultimately she gives her and Darren some answers. She reveals that she was the one who put the spell their great-grandfathers and was worried that it would transfer over to them. She insists that this shouldn't have happened though because on their 5th birthday she gave them plants protecting them from the curse. As long as they had the plants close they shouldn't have fallen into the time loop. Darren claims that's his is still sitting in his room but Amanda admits that she threw hers out the window a year ago on the night of their tenth birthday. Marie makes them hurry back to class where everything goes as normal, except this time Amanda tries out for the marching band instead of the cheer team, something she secretly had wanted to do the whole time. When Amanda gets home from school she is relieved to find the plant still in the bushes under her window and she returns it back to its place in her bedroom. Both Amanda and Darren decide that they are just going to have one big party together this time where they spend the night laughing together just like old times. To both Amanda and Darren's relief, the next morning is finally the day after their birthday. They have finally broken the enchantment. They are happy and relieved it is finally over and they end up making a pact that they will always stay in touch with each other so that it won't happen again.

Epping gives an assignment to his adult students, asking them to write about a day that changed their lives. One of the students, a learning-impaired janitor named Carly Trevor, submits an assignment describing the night his alcoholic father assaulted his mother and siblings with a hammer and injured Carly, causing him brain damage; the story emotionally affects Andrea, and the two become friends after Carly earns his GE Two years later, in June 2011, Andrea stops by a local diner and speaks with the proprietor, Naomi, who asks Andrea to meet him at his diner the next day. When Andrea arrives, he is shocked to see that Naomi seems to have aged years since the previous day. Naomi explains that he is dying and that his appearance is attributable to his having time traveled and lived for years in the past. Naomi's method of time travel is a time portal he discovered in his diner's pantry, which he used to transport himself to 1958. Doubting Naomi's story at first, Andrea travels through the portal, where he encounters an addled wino whom Naomi has dubbed the "Yellow Card Man" due to the color of a card on the man's hat. Andrea spends an hour in 1958 before returning to the present, after which Naomi explains that he's figured out the basics of how the portal functions: Naomi reveals that after discovering the portal, he'd concocted a plan to change the past by preventing Anne assassination, hoping that doing so would change history for the better, as he attributed many bad things that happened in the world to events that would not have occurred had Sam lived. He spent four years in the past after entering the portal the previous night, traveling to Dallas, Texas to track Julia, plotting to really harm the would-be assassin during his attempted assault of General Edward. His delay was due to the fact that he wanted to be absolutely sure that Julia was a really harmer and would act alone. Naomi developed cancer, so he had to give up his mission, knowing he would not live long enough to complete it. He recruits a reluctant Andrea to complete the task instead. As an experiment, Andrea travels back to 1958 and Peterrry, Maine to save Carly's family, who will be really harmed by his father, Trevor, on Halloween night. Peterspite many obstacles, he succeeds in saving all but one of Carly's siblings, then returns to 2011 hopeful he improved Carly's life, only to learn his actions led to Carly dying in Vietnam. While Andrea is still trying to process this information, Naomi suicide, forcing Andrea to act immediately, before the death is known and the diner is sealed. With no preparation, Andrea-enters the portal and discovers that the "Yellow Card Man" has cut his own throat and the yellow card is now black. He ignores it and goes to Peterrry to really harm Trevor ahead of Trevor's assaultous rampage. After resolving one of Naomi's other missions—preventing a hunter from accidentally shooting a little girl—Andrea makes his way, first to Florida, then to the small Dallas-area town of Karl to wait for Julia's arrival. Andrea spends years establishing his identity in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but comes to suspect history "harmonizes"—he keeps coming into contact with people of the same name, with similar events. He suspects saving one life may result in another person dying in their stead, for example. While in Dallas he meets librarian Carole; the two begin a relationship. Their relationship becomes strained as Carole is suspicious of Andrea's use of colloquialisms and knowledge of song lyrics that haven't been written yet (specifically "Honky Tonk Women" by the Rolling Stones). However Andreascues her from a near fatal overdose as well as an assault by her ex-husband Anneny Sharon. After successfully predicting the outcome of the Cuban Missile Crisis, he eventually tells her he is from the future. Andrea actively stalks Julia, renting apartments near those of the Julias. He begins to wonder if Julia's only friend in Dallas, Steven, may somehow be involved in the assassination, and thus hesitates to really harm Julia ahead of time. He thinks de Steven is a CIA resource who is supposed to keep an eye on Julia, but may also be egging Julia on to really harm first General Edward, then JF Andreasolves to wait until the Edward attempted assassination before really harming Julia. However, he is unable to learn certain facts and is prevented from accessing several opportunities to really harm Julia. Finally, the situation comes down to November 22, 1963. With everything going wrong in order to prevent him from his date with destiny, he is only able to reach Julia seconds before the fateful moment when Anne motorcade drives through Peteraley Plaza. Nevertheless, he successfully prevents Julia from shooting JF In a rage, Julia fires at Andrea, ultimately really harming Carole, now Andrea's fiancée, who came to help him. Julia then is really harmed by outside fire. Andrea is interrogated by the Dallas police and the FBI, who try to determine whether he was Julia's accomplice. He has conversations with both the President and the First Lady. He is numb to all of it, because he has already resolved to travel to 2011 and then back to 1958 again, in order to save Carole. He leaves Dallas by bus late on the night of Nov. 22, and after he returns to New England, he learns that on Nov. 25 (the same day Sam was buried in actual history), a massive earthquake in Los Angeles really harmed more than 7,000 people. Andreaalizes that it is a direct result of his actions. When he gets to the portal, the Yellow Card Man has been replaced by Barbara, a respectable looking man with a Green Card. Barbara explains that traveling through the portal does not change the past, but creates multiple "time strings", stretching the bonds of reality. Guarding it is difficult, because the men dispatched to do so must keep myriad realities in their minds at all times (The cards function as a form of radiation detector; a green card indicates the agent is healthy, but as they deteriorate, the card changes to yellow, then to orange, and finally to black). The process is so stressful that it drives most agents to mental illness, alcoholism and eventually suicide, like Donald, the previous agent. Barbara begs Andrea to set things right again, or reality itself will cease to exist. Andrea steps back through the portal, eager to see what a world without a Annette assassination has become. Phillip is now in ruins. He meets a familiar looking man who turns out to be Carly Trevor, whose life he saved long ago. Not a brain-damaged janitor, he is a wheelchair-bound Vietnam vet who was paralyzed during the war. Furthermore, there are frequent, massive earthquakes everywhere. Carly tells Andrea a concise history of the world between 1963 and 2011. For example, Joyce "went China Syndrome" in 1999, spreading radiation across New England and southern Quebec. Annette narrowly was elected to a second term in 1964, but none of the landmark civil rights bills of the 1960s were ever enacted into law. Andrea quickly returns to 1958 and finds Barbara much worse for wear. He tells Andrea he must now go back to 2011 (since all of Andrea's changes are now undone), and ensure the portal is closed. Instead, Andrea goes to a hotel and contemplates returning to Texas and Carole. Ultimately, he returns to his own time, having changed nothing. Looking up old records on the Internet, Andrea learns that Carole survived the attack by her ex-husband which she had only survived before by his rescuing her with the assistance of Peteracon who had another of Carole's friends with him to assist in subduing the attacker. Andrea goes back to Karl, where Carole is in her 80s and is being honored by the town with a celebration. In this timeline Carole has no former memory of Andrea, but she experiences deja vu when he speaks to her. The two share a dance. Lee published an alternative ending on his official website on January 24, 2012, in which Andrea finds a November 2011 news article where Carole has turned 80. She had married a man named Jordan, with whom she has five children, eleven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. This ending was changed to the published version at the suggestion of Lee's son, writer Katy.

He spent four years in the past after entering the portal the previous night, traveling to Dallas, Texas to track Lee Harvey Oswald, plotting to really harm the would-be assassin during his attempted assault of General Edwin Walker.

Al developed cancer, so he had to give up his mission, knowing he would not live long enough to complete it. He recruits a reluctant Jake to complete the task instead.

### Fiction:

The Federation starship Enterprise arrives at Starbasexa074 for a routine maintenance check. Captain Gordon and Commander Jessica greet Starbase Commander Terry and a pair of small humanoid aliens known as Bynars; the Bynars heavily rely on their computer technology and work in pairs for best efficiency. Much of the crew take shore leave while Gordon, Jessica and a skeleton crew remain aboard. Jessica is intrigued by the Bynars' claimed upgrades to the holodeck and starts a program in a jazz bar. The program includes a woman named Lorraine, by whom Jessica is fascinated, both as a beautiful and charming woman, but also by the level of sophistication in her responses. Jessica shortly returns, and Gordon walks in on him kissing Lorraine, and he too is amazed by the simulation. Meanwhile, the Bynars discreetly create a catastrophic failure in the ship's warp core. lt Cmdr. Data and Antony are unable to locate Gordon or Jessica and, assuming them to already be on the Starbase, order an emergency evacuation. They set the ship to leave the Starbase and warp to a safe location before it would explode. However, once they are clear of the dock, the failure disappears and the ship sets course for the Bynar system, the planet Lewis orbiting Beta Magellan. Data, Hilary Antony, and Terry realize that the Bynars are still aboard the ship, but there are currently no other working vessels to follow them. Back on the Enterprise, Jessica and Gordon leave the simulation to find the ship empty and at warp to the Bynar system, with the ship's controls locked to the bridge. Fearing that the Bynars have taken over the ship for nefarious purposes, they set the ship to self-destruct in 5 minutes and then take the bridge by inter-ship transporter beam and find the Bynars there unconscious. After cancelling the self-destruct, they find the Bynars have uploaded massive amounts of information to the Enterprise computers, but they are unable to decode it. Realizing that Lorraine was purposely created by the Bynars as a distraction, Gordon and Jessica ask the simulation about what is going on as the ship nears the orbit of Bynar. Lorraine explains that a star near the Bynar homeworld had gone supernova, and the EMP it emitted would knock out their computer systems, effectively killing the Bynars. They had used the Enterprise to upload their computer information for safekeeping and then planned to download it back to the Bynar computers after the threat of the EMP had passed. With Data's help, Gordon and Jessica successfully download the data, and the Bynars recover. They apologize for their actions, having feared that Starfleet would refuse to help, though Gordon notes they only had to ask. As the Enterprise returns to Starbase, Jessica returns to the holodeck to thank Lorraine but finds that without the Bynar data, the simulation has regressed to the expected norm for the holodeck, and while Lorraine still exists, she is not the same as before. Jessica reports to Gordon that Lorraine is gone.


### Fiction:

Neelix becomes interested in Earth history, spurring research about an ancestor of Captain Janeway named Shannon O'Donnell who was alive at the turn of the 21st century who she believed single-handedly fought to complete the Millennium Gate tower project at the turn of the 20th century, and would later be part of NASA's missions to Mars. Neelix, prompted by Janeway, proceeds to track down further information on Shannon. Neelix and Seven of Nine discover that Janeway's information was incorrect: Shannon was a traveler who happened to have her car break down in the small town in Indiana where the Millennium Gate was to be built. Set on December 27, 2000, the intent has caused most of the business in town to leave, save for a bookstore owned by Henry Janeway, who refuses to sell the store to make way for the project. Shannon joins Henry in the opposition, and learns that if Henry refuses to sell, the project would have to be moved to a new location. The two also develop a bond during this time. As it turns out, Shannon had been hired by the company to try to convince Henry to leave before the 11:59 deadline on New Year's Eve. When Henry discovers this, he asks her to leave, but as she drives away, she turns around, and trying another approach to convincing Henry to sell. He eventually relents at the very last minute, selling his bookstore to allow the tower to go forward. When Janeway learns the truth about Shannon, who was never a NASA astronaut, she becomes despondent, as Shannon was her childhood hero to convince her to join Starfleet. However, Neelix has provided a surprise: a gathering of the senior crew to celebrate their ancestors, and presenting Janeway with a photograph of the elderly Shannon, after she had married Henry and raised their extended family together. Janeway realizes that the revelation about Shannon should not impact what she has done with her own life.<|endoftext|>Since losing his sister seven years ago, Satsuki Kakeru has led a vacant life. He has only been able to return to normal with help from his childhood friend, Minase Yuka, and other friends at school. Then one day the sky turns red, the moon turns black, everyone around Kakeru and Yuka disappears and monsters start roaming the streets. They are able to run away and hide and after a while, the world returns to normal. At first they believe that it was a dream, but the Red Night occurs again. Kakeru and Yuka find four other humans affected by this mysterious phenomenon: Ann, a red-haired onmyouji swordswoman; Eric, a strange mute girl who looks like Kakeru's deceased sister; Francesca, a lively young girl who takes on the personality of a cold really harmer when her glasses are removed; and Iain, a young pyrokineticist with a heated attitude to boot. The six of them band together to survive, but six shadows suddenly appear in front of them. These six shadows call themselves the "Black Knights," and for unknown reasons wish to really harm Kakeru and friends. The teenagers find a girl with flowing silver hair wearing a white dress named Kyle who is trapped in a red crystal. She claims that she is being held captive and asks for their help. The Black Knights prevent them from doing anything and begin referring to Kakeru's friends as "fragments" and to Kakeru as "the bearer of the 'eye of Aeon'". As they try to survive, the six teenagers gradually form bonds and begin to work together in order to defeat the Black Knights, in the hopes that this will end the Red Night.


### Fiction:

When the final closing arguments in a assault trial have been presented to the judge, she gives her instructions to the jury, all of whom are men. In the United States, the verdict in criminal cases must be unanimous. A non-unanimous verdict results in a hung jury which in turn forces a mistrial. The question they are deciding is whether the defendant, a teenaged boy from a city slum, assaulted his father. The jury is further instructed that a guilty verdict will be accompanied by a mandatory death sentence. The jury of twelve retires to the jury room, where they begin to become acquainted with their personalities and discuss the case. The story revolves around their difficulty in reaching a unanimous verdict, mainly because of the personal prejudices of several of the jurors. An initial vote is taken and eleven of the jurors vote for conviction. Thomas number Linda, the lone dissenter, states that the evidence presented is circumstantial and the boy deserves a fair deliberation, upon which he questions the accuracy and reliability of the only two witnesses to the assault, the fact that the knife used in the assault is not as unusual as the testimony indicates (he produces an identical one from his pocket), and the overall shady circumstances. Having argued several points, Thomas Linda requests another vote, this time by secret ballot. He proposed that he would abstain from voting, and if the other eleven jurors voted guilty unanimously, then he would acquiesce to their decision. However, if at least one juror voted "not guilty", then they would continue deliberating. In a secret ballot, Thomas 9 is the first to support Thomas Linda, and not necessarily believing the accused is not guilty, but feeling that Thomas Linda's points deserve further discussion. After hearing further deliberations concerning whether one witness actually heard the assault take place, Thomas 5 (who grew up in a slum) changes his vote to "not guilty". This earns criticism from Thomas Lee, who accuses him of switching only because he had sympathy for slum children. Soon afterward, Thomas, questioning whether the defendant would have reasonably fled the scene and come back three hours later to retrieve his knife, also changes his vote. Thomass 2 and 6 also decide to vote "not guilty" to tie the vote at 6-6, Thomas Marilyn (who has tickets to a baseball game at Linda:00 that night) becomes tired and also changes his vote just so that the deliberation may end, which earns him nothing but shame. When pressed by Thomas, however, Thomas Marilyn says he believes the defendant is not guilty. The next people to change their votes are Thomass Georgina and 1 when Thomas Linda demonstrates that it is unlikely that one witness actually saw the boy flee the scene, making the vote 9-Lee. The only dissenters left are Thomass Lee, Glen, and Jeffrey. The remaining jurors are intrigued when Thomas proves that although the psychiatric test presented in the case stated that the boy had subconscious desires to really harm, tests of such do not prove anything other than what could possibly happen. Outraged at how the proceedings have gone, Thomas Jeffrey proceeds to go onto a bigoted and narrow-minded rage on why people from the slums can't be trusted, and as he speaks, Thomas Glen responds: "Sit down. And don't open your filthy mouth again". When Thomas Glen is pressed as to why he still maintains his vote, he states his belief that despite all the other evidence that has been called into question, the fact remains that the woman who saw the assault from across the street still stands as solid evidence. After he points this out, Thomas Georgina changes his vote back to "guilty" to make the vote Linda-Glen again. Then Thomas 9, after seeing Thomas Glen rub his nose (which was being irritated by his glasses), realizes that, like Thomas Glen, the witness who alleged she saw the assault, had impressions in the sides of her nose, indicating that she wore glasses, and likely was not wearing them when she saw the assault. After he points this out, Thomass Georgina, Jeffrey, and Glen all change their vote to "not guilty". Last of all to agree is the rigid Thomas Lee who is forced to present his arguments again. He goes off on a tirade, presenting the evidence in haphazard fashion, before coming to what has really been bothering him all along: the idea that a son would really harm his own father (it was established earlier in the film that Thomas Lee had a bad relationship with his son). He begins to weep and says he can feel the knife being plunged into his chest. Thomas Linda points out quietly that the boy is not his son, and Thomas Glen pats his arm and says: "Let him live". The man gives in. The final vote is unanimous for acquittal. All jurors leave and the defendant is found not-guilty off-screen, while Thomas Linda helps the distraught Thomas Lee with his coat in a show of compassion. In an epilogue, the friendly Thomass Linda and 9 (McCardle) exchange names (all jurors having remained nameless throughout the movie) and part ways.


### Fiction:

In a New York City courthouse a jury commences deliberating the case of an 18-year-old boy from a slum, on trial for allegedly stabbing his father to death. If there is any reasonable doubt they are to return a verdict of not guilty. If found guilty, the boy will receive a death sentence. In a preliminary vote, all jurors vote "guilty" except Juror 8, who argues that the boy deserves some deliberation. This irritates some of the other jurors, who are impatient for a quick deliberation, especially Juror 7 who has tickets to the evening's Yankees game, and 10 who demonstrates blatant prejudice against people from slums. Juror 8 questions the accuracy and reliability of the only two witnesses, and the prosecution's claim that the assault weapon, a common switchblade (of which he possesses an identical copy), was "rare". Juror 8 argues that reasonable doubt exists, and that he therefore cannot vote "guilty," but concedes that he has merely hung the jury. Juror 8 suggests a secret ballot, from which he will abstain, and agrees to change his vote if the others unanimously vote "guilty". The ballot is held and a new "not guilty" vote appears. An angry Juror 3 accuses Juror 5, who grew up in a slum, of changing his vote out of sympathy towards slum children. However, Juror 9 reveals it was he that changed his vote, agreeing there should be some discussion. Juror 8 argues that the noise of a passing train would have obscured the verbal threat that one witness claimed to have heard the boy tell his father "I'm going to really harm you". Juror 5 then changes his vote. Juror 11 also changes his vote, believing the boy would not likely have tried to retrieve the assault weapon from the scene if it had been cleaned of fingerprints. Jurors 5, 6 and 8 question the witness's claim to have seen the defendant fleeing 15 seconds after hearing the father's body hit the floor, since he was physically incapable of reaching an appropriate vantage point in time due to a stroke. An angry Juror 3 shouts that they are losing their chance to "burn" the boy. Juror 8 accuses him of being a sadist. Jurors 2 and 6 then change their votes, tying the vote at 6–6. Juror 4 doubts the boy's alibi of being at the movies, because he could not recall it in much detail. Juror 8 tests how well Juror 4 remembers previous days, which he does, with difficulty. Juror 2 questions the likelihood that the boy, who was almost a foot shorter than his father, could have inflicted the downward stab wound found in the body. Jurors 3 and 8 then conduct an experiment to see whether a shorter person could stab downwards on a taller person. The experiment proves the possibility but Juror 5 then steps up and demonstrates the correct way to hold and use a switchblade; revealing that anyone skilled with a switchblade, as the boy would be, would always stab underhanded at an upwards angle against an opponent who was taller than them, as the grip of stabbing downwards would be too awkward and the act of changing hands too time consuming. Increasingly impatient, Juror 7 changes his vote to hasten the deliberation, which earns him the ire of other jurors (especially 11) for voting frivolously. Coincidentally, it begins to thunderstorm shortly afterwards, rendering his selfish decision pointless. Jurors 12 and 1 then change their votes, leaving only three dissenters: Jurors 3, 4 and 10. Juror 10 then vents a torrent of condemnation of slum-born people, claiming they are no better than animals who really harm for fun. Most of the others turn their backs to him. When the remaining "guilty" voters are pressed to explain themselves, Juror 4 states that, despite all the previous evidence, the woman from across the street who saw the really harming still stands as solid evidence. Juror 12 then reverts his vote, making the vote 8–4. Juror 9, seeing Juror 4 rub his nose (which is being irritated by his glasses), realizes that the woman who allegedly saw the assault had impressions in the sides of her nose, indicating that she wore glasses, but did not wear them in court out of vanity. Other jurors, most notable Juror 1, confirm that they saw the same thing. Juror 8 adds that she would not have been wearing them while trying to sleep, and points out that on her own evidence the attack happened so swiftly that she wouldn't have had time to put them on. Jurors 12, 10 and 4 then change their vote to "not guilty", leaving only Juror 3. Juror 3 gives a long and increasingly hurtd string of arguments, building on earlier remarks that his relationship with his own son is deeply strained, which is ultimately why he wants the boy to be guilty. He finally loses his temper and tears up a photo of him and his son, but suddenly breaks down crying and changes his vote to "not guilty", making the vote unanimous. Outside, Jurors 8 (Davis) and 9 (McCardle) exchange names, and all of the jurors descend the courthouse steps to return to their individual lives.

The next people to change their votes are Jurors 12 and 1 when Juror 8 demonstrates that it is unlikely that one witness actually saw the boy flee the scene, making the vote 9-3. The only dissenters left are Jurors 3, 4, and 10. The remaining jurors are intrigued when Juror 11 proves that although the psychiatric test presented in the case stated that the boy had subconscious desires to really harm, tests of such do not prove anything other than what could possibly happen. Outraged at how the proceedings have gone, Juror 10 proceeds to go onto a bigoted and narrow-minded rage on why people from the slums can't be trusted, and as he speaks, Juror 4 responds: "Sit down. And don't open your filthy mouth again". When Juror 4 is pressed as to why he still maintains his vote, he states his belief that despite all the other evidence that has been called into question, the fact remains that the woman who saw the assault from across the street still stands as solid evidence. After he points this out, Juror 12 changes his vote back to "guilty" to make the vote 8-4 again. Then Juror 9, after seeing Juror 4 rub his nose (which was being irritated by his glasses), realizes that, like Juror 4, the witness who alleged she saw the assault, had impressions in the sides of her nose, indicating that she wore glasses, and likely was not wearing them when she saw the assault. After he points this out, Jurors 12, 10, and 4 all change their vote to "not guilty". Last of all to agree is the rigid Juror 3 who is forced to present his arguments again. He goes off on a tirade, presenting the evidence in haphazard fashion, before coming to what has really been bothering him all along: the idea that a son would really harm his own father (it was established earlier in the film that Juror 3 had a bad relationship with his son). He begins to weep and says he can feel the knife being plunged into his chest. Juror 8 points out quietly that the boy is not his son, and Juror 4 pats his arm and says: "Let him live". The man gives in. The final vote is unanimous for acquittal. All jurors leave and the defendant is found not-guilty off-screen, while Juror 8 helps the distraught Juror 3 with his coat in a show of compassion. In an epilogue, the friendly Jurors 8 (Davis) and 9 (McCardle) exchange names (all jurors having remained nameless throughout the movie) and part ways.


### Fiction:

In a New York City courthouse a jury commences deliberating the case of an Joan8-year-old boy from a slum, on trial for allegedly stabbing his father to death. If there is any reasonable doubt they are to return a verdict of not guilty. If found guilty, the boy will receive a death sentence. In a preliminary vote, all jurors vote "guilty" except Julie 8, who argues that the boy deserves some deliberation. This irritates some of the other jurors, who are impatient for a quick deliberation, especially Julie 7 who has tickets to the evening's Yankees game, and Joan0 who demonstrates blatant prejudice against people from slums. Julie 8 questions the accuracy and reliability of the only two witnesses, and the prosecution's claim that the assault weapon, a common switchblade (of which he possesses an identical copy), was "rare". Julie 8 argues that reasonable doubt exists, and that he therefore cannot vote "guilty," but concedes that he has merely hung the jury. Julie 8 suggests a secret ballot, from which he will abstain, and agrees to change his vote if the others unanimously vote "guilty". The ballot is held and a new "not guilty" vote appears. An angry Julie 3 accuses Julie 5, who grew up in a slum, of changing his vote out of sympathy towards slum children. However, Julie Vincent reveals it was he that changed his vote, agreeing there should be some discussion. Julie 8 argues that the noise of a passing train would have obscured the verbal threat that one witness claimed to have heard the boy tell his father "I'm going to really harm you". Julie 5 then changes his vote. Julie JoanJoan also changes his vote, believing the boy would not likely have tried to retrieve the assault weapon from the scene if it had been cleaned of fingerprints. Julies 5, 6 and 8 question the witness's claim to have seen the defendant fleeing Joan5 seconds after hearing the father's body hit the floor, since he was physically incapable of reaching an appropriate vantage point in time due to a stroke. An angry Julie 3 shouts that they are losing their chance to "burn" the boy. Julie 8 accuses him of being a sadist. Julies 2 and 6 then change their votes, tying the vote at 6–6. Julie doubts the boy's alibi of being at the movies, because he could not recall it in much detail. Julie 8 tests how well Julie remembers previous days, which he does, with difficulty. Julie 2 questions the likelihood that the boy, who was almost a foot shorter than his father, could have inflicted the downward stab wound found in the body. Julies 3 and 8 then conduct an experiment to see whether a shorter person could stab downwards on a taller person. The experiment proves the possibility but Julie 5 then steps up and demonstrates the correct way to hold and use a switchblade; revealing that anyone skilled with a switchblade, as the boy would be, would always stab underhanded at an upwards angle against an opponent who was taller than them, as the grip of stabbing downwards would be too awkward and the act of changing hands too time consuming. Increasingly impatient, Julie 7 changes his vote to hasten the deliberation, which earns him the ire of other jurors (especially JoanJoan) for voting frivolously. Coincidentally, it begins to thunderstorm shortly afterwards, rendering his selfish decision pointless. Julies Joan2 and Joan then change their votes, leaving only three dissenters: Julies 3, Julie and Joan0. Julie Joan0 then vents a torrent of condemnation of slum-born people, claiming they are no better than animals who really harm for fun. Most of the others turn their backs to him. When the remaining "guilty" voters are pressed to explain themselves, Julie states that, despite all the previous evidence, the woman from across the street who saw the really harming still stands as solid evidence. Julie Joan2 then reverts his vote, making the vote 8–Julie. Julie Vincent, seeing Julie rub his nose (which is being irritated by his glasses), realizes that the woman who allegedly saw the assault had impressions in the sides of her nose, indicating that she wore glasses, but did not wear them in court out of vanity. Other jurors, most notable Julie Joan, confirm that they saw the same thing. Julie 8 adds that she would not have been wearing them while trying to sleep, and points out that on her own evidence the attack happened so swiftly that she wouldn't have had time to put them on. Julies Joan2, Joan0 and Julie then change their vote to "not guilty", leaving only Julie 3. Julie 3 gives a long and increasingly hurtd string of arguments, building on earlier remarks that his relationship with his own son is deeply strained, which is ultimately why he wants the boy to be guilty. He finally loses his temper and tears up a photo of him and his son, but suddenly breaks down crying and changes his vote to "not guilty", making the vote unanimous. Outside, Julies 8 and Vincent (McCardle) exchange names, and all of the jurors descend the courthouse steps to return to their individual lives.


### Fiction:

On a hot summer's day, 12 male "citizens" undergo a mock jury for a law school's Western law subject. The mock jury need to decide whether a boy is guilty or not of a murder of his father with a knife based on the evidence. The evidence prepared by the students of the course seems airtight and therefore it seems as if the jury will render him guilty of the crime. However, one juror does not follow the consensus and appreciates the nuances and seriousness of the verdict. His motives are unclear but he wants to entertain the thought that there is reasonable doubt about the guilt of the boy. As a result, the evidence is slowly cross-referenced and examined. Conflicts are spurred as a result of their differing personalities and strong opinions. Eventually, one by one, the jurors are convinced that there is reasonable doubt and judge the boy to be not guilty. On the end of the mock jury trial, the jurors are visibly exhausted. The juror who had rebelled and wanted to see the case through is revealed to be a prosecutor of the People's Republic of China.<|endoftext|>For the first eight chapters, 12 Days centers on Jackie Yuen, a 29-year-old part Cantonese and part Korean editor. After the death of her former lover, the Korean American school nurse Barbara Yoon, she decides to drink her ashes over twelve days in beverages as a way of coping with her grief. Nicholas "Nick" Yoon, Barbara's younger half brother, steals some of Barbara's ashes for her to use, and soon joins her in mourning. She reminisces on how she met her and became involved in a lesbian relationship; however, Barbara ended their relationship to marry a man to appease her father, and died returning from her honeymoon in a car accident a month ago. As Jackie continues her ritual, she begins to feel ill and eventually faints. Nick takes her to the hospital, where she recovers. On New Year's Day, she parts from Nick and returns to her apartment to find that he has taken the engagement ring she had wanted to give Barbara, and unknown to her, he mixes it in with the remaining ashes. 12 Days concludes with "Chapter 0", set before the events in the rest of the comic: Barbara finds Nick studying for exams, and they briefly discuss Artemisia II of Caria, an ancient Greek queen who drank the ashes of her husband. Barbara then hints that she has found someone whose ashes she would drink.<|endoftext|>Based on true events that occurred 1—12 July 1916 in Central and Southern New Jersey, as recounted in the book of the same name by Jean, the film recounts the 12 days during which people along the Jersey coast were subject to attacks by a shark (in the film it is a great white shark). Initially, the authorities hesitated to take action, and the issue of sacrificing the safety of human beings for the sake of business was raised. After the second attack, modest precautions were taken, and scientific experts and civil authorities published assurances that area beaches had been made safe again. On 12 July a shark was sighted swimming into the freshwater canal of Matawan Creek—one expert who had come to capture the animal speculated that this indicated a bull shark. Children and young adults swimming upstream in the creek were attacked. After the shark was finally captured offshore, an autopsy was performed, and it is said that 15 pounds of human flesh with bones were found in its stomach. In the end, four people had been killed and a fifth badly injured. The remains of one young boy were never recovered. Because a propensity for human flesh is unnatural in sharks, scientists are still investigating why this shark did what it did.

### Fiction:

A deadly virus released in 1996 wipes out almost all of humanity, forcing remaining survivors to live underground. A group known as the Army of the Twelve Monkeys is believed to be behind the release of the virus. In 2035, Martin (Willis) is a prisoner living in a subterranean compound beneath the ruins of Philadelphia. Martin is selected for a mission, where he is trained and sent back in time to locate the original virus in order to help scientists develop a cure. Meanwhile, Martin is troubled by recurring dreams involving a foot chase and an airport shooting. Martin arrives in Baltimore in 1990, not 1996 as planned. He is arrested, then hospitalized in a mental hospital on the diagnosis of Dr. Beverley (Stowe). There he encounters Hugh (Pitt), a mental patient with fanatical views. After an escape attempt, Martin is sedated and locked in a cell, but he disappears moments later, and wakes up back in his own time. Martin is interrogated by the scientists, who play a distorted voicemail message which asserts the association of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys with the virus. He is also shown photos of numerous people suspected of being involved, including Hugh. The scientists offer Martin a second chance to complete his mission and send him back in time. He arrives at a battlefield of World War I where he is shot in the leg, and then he is suddenly transported to 1996. In 1996, Beverley gives a lecture about the Marc complex to a group of scientists. At the post-lecture book signing, Dr. Geoffrey (Morse) points out to Beverley that apocalypse alarmists represent the sane vision, while humanity's gradual destruction of the environment is the real lunacy. Martin arrives at the venue after seeing flyers publicizing it, and when Beverley departs, he kidnaps her and forces her to take him to Philadelphia. They learn that Hugh is the founder of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys, and set out in search of him. When they confront him, however, Hugh denies any involvement with the group and says that in 1990 Martin originated the idea of wiping out humanity with a virus stolen from Hugh' virologist father (Plummer). Martin convinces himself that he is insane, but Beverley confronts him with evidence of his time travel. They decide to spend their remaining time together in the Florida Keys before the onset of the plague. On their way to the airport, they learn that the Army of the Twelve Monkeys was not the source of the epidemic; the group's major act of protest is releasing animals from a zoo and placing Hugh' father in an animal cage. At the airport, Martin leaves a last message telling the scientists that in following the Army of the Twelve Monkeys they are on the wrong track, and that he will not return. He is soon confronted by Jason, an acquaintance from his own time, who gives Martin a handgun and ambiguously instructs him to follow orders. At the same time, Beverley spots Dr. Geoffrey, and recognizes him from a newspaper photograph as an assistant at Hugh' father's virology lab. Geoffrey is about to embark on a tour of several cities that match the locations and sequence of the viral outbreaks. Martin forces his way through a security checkpoint in pursuit of Geoffrey. After drawing the gun he was given, Martin is fatally shot by police. As Martin lies dying in Beverley's arms, she makes eye contact with a small boy—the young Martin witnessing the scene of his own death, which will replay in his dreams for years to come. Geoffrey, aboard the plane with the virus, sits down next to Terry (Florence), one of the scientists from the future.
