This was written for Shealynn88 for While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure's 2006 rare fandom all-request challenge, and it turned out to be a lot harder than I imagined it would.

The first bit that came to me was Alex's scene with misunderstanding what GQ stood for. Unfortunately, the thing didn't exactly grow from there. It was a long time before I realized that I could use that in the same piece where I explored the fact that Gwen has a diamond solitaire on her left hand (watch when she covers her face after Tommy pulls the replica ship out of the garage successfully), or the unambiguous way Fred squints when he's "in character". Love this stuff.

What to say about them -- and what to focus on for Jason and Tommy, as well -- was another matter, but with the help of Ellen Fremedon and Sanj (and the judicious application of threats by them both), I got it done. Whew!

The summary, of course, "Four Truths and a Lie", is in the manner of those five-things-that-never-happened stories. Which of the five bits here do you think is untrue?
