<Gives up on singing>

<Is surprised to hear a deep and loud voice ask her to turn around>

<Turns around and becomes more surprised to see what looks like a choa crossed with an elephant behind her>

<Quickly names it a Choaphant, to avoid too many hyphens.>

<The choaphant bows down and declares the surprised Rookee to be his master>

<Rookee asks when the heck did that happen, but gets cut off by the choaphant who says he knows how to stop the insanity that is the future>

<Rookee replies that since she never declared war it won't happen anyway, but again gets cut off the the choaphant who insist that one of her "other" actions causes the future>

<Rookee ask which one of her simi-evil deeds did it, the cross-breeding, the evil moment game or the time travel or the inter-species war, but the Choaphant says one one word>

<.."Cupcakes">

<decides for the sake of the board to try to undo what she has already done>

<snatches one of the last fortune cookies and converts it to yet another time machine>
