Alternate Universe
Drabble Premise:
#1 (104 words)

A loud shriek pierced the air. "Noooo... Give that back to me."
"Girls, girls. Stop this fighting at once."
"But, Mother, I don't want Nikita to go to Section One."
"Darling, these are just toys. They have no feelings. Now put them down and come to dinner."

"Hey, Miss---Miss! Stop! You can't go in there!"
"Huh?"
"Only cast and crew members allowed."
"You must be new. I'm Peta Wilson - I play Nikita - as in 'La Femme Nikita.'"
"Afraid you've got the wrong show, Miss. See the sign? This show is, 'La Femme Madeline.'"
"Whaaaat??? Can't be . . ." She deliberates. "Unless . . ."
Peta calls out. "OK, Alberta. This has gone far enough. You are not Madeline, you only play Madeline. Therefore you cannot accomplish any of Madeline's mind games. Alberta?........... Alberta?.........."
There is silence - split only by a soft, self-satisfied, sinister snicker - and the almost inaudible words, "Sequence complete."
