"Sliders" and all of the characters contained in this story are not property of me, but of St. Clare Entertainment and I'm not getting paid for this, though I really do wish I were." A very short story By Doug Bruzzone The tale of the Sliders after the series ended. We cut back to Maggie, Diana, and Nutter Butter. The Seer is lying there dead. Maggie: Well, our contracts just ended. Diana: Damn. Suddenly, the Seer opens his eyes and takes a deep breath. The Seer: Sorry, I choked on a donut. Maggie: Is Rembrandt okay? We focus in as the Seer "sees" Rembrandt in the vortex. He's going and suddenly... he vaporizes. Seer: Sorry, he's dead. Suddenly, Fidel Castro's double comes in and kills Mallory because he "was such a lousy character in the first place". Seer: Him too. Maggie: Hooray! Diana: Let's party! Seer: An important man just died. Diana: Who? Maggie: He means Remmy. Diana: Oh yeah. Seer: Maggie, you will die in 4.7 minutes unless you... oops, never mind. Doesn't matter now. 4.7 miutes later... Maggie: Gacchh! [DIE] Seer: Silicon poisoning. Diana: Oh. Suddenly, Diana's double runs into the room wielding a chainsaw. Alt-Diana: I'm the only Diana Davis on this world! DIE!! Diana kicks her out of the room and she falls to her death (it wasn't established on the show, but the room was 68 stories up). Seer: I saw that coming. Diana: Good. Seer: There's a nuclear missle bound for Los Angeles and we're all dead... now. Suddenly a nuclear missle hits the building and they all die. RIPPLE DISSOLVE to: Quinn in his basement with the timer about to transport himself, Wade, and Arturo. Quinn: On second thought, why bother? Arturo: My boy, are you serious? Quinn: It's Tournament Champions Week on Jeapordy. Besides, it's pretty likely I'll transport us all into a world where everything is covered in ice and activate the vortex early, thus triggering a chain of events whereby the proffessor dies, Wade is captured by super-intelligent apes, me and my long-lost brother disappear for no apparent reason, and a singer who calls me "Q-Ball" and who I accidentally transport along with us is the only surviving original slider. Wade and Arturo: HA HA HA HA!!! Quinn: What? Wade: And to think that I had some long-lost love for you. She slaps him and leaves. Arturo: You, my boy, are a BLISTERING IDIOT! He rumbles his way out of Quinn's house. Quinn: Now I'm all alone. He looks at his cat. Quinn: You don't think I'm stupid, do you? The cat keels over and dies. Quinn: MOM! The cat died again! Quinn's Mom: Oh shut up and end the fucking story. Quinn: Right.
