DISCLAIMER: Okay, this is a really odd Jonny Quest/Babylon 5 crossover. Yes, I said a Jonny Quest/B5 crossover. Kina scary, I know, but it had a purpose when it was written. The story behind this scary tale is my best friend didn’t have cable when B5 switched over to TNT here in the States and she was really bummed because she and I are big fans. Anyway, I wrote this to try to convince her dad to get cable. Yes, we are a tad nuts, and no, we never have gotten any kind of psychological tests. Why do you ask?

Anyway, here’s the real disclaimer. I don’t own any of these characters, B5 or Jonny Quest alike. The B5 ones belong to JMS and some other guys, and Jonny Quest belongs to Hanna Barbera or something along those lines. Let me see. I’m not making any money off this, it’s just me with a crazy idea and a purpose. Kind of propagandistic, you might say. Anywho, I take no responsablity for any and all psychological damage this may cause to you, the reader. I think this is pretty funny, but tastes differ and far of senses of humor are concerned, mine is one of the strangest you could ever care to encounter.

I dedicate this to my best bud, Courtney Morgenroth, and her dad who finally broke down and got cable. Wether or not it was caused by this fanfic will never be truly be known . . .

The Quest Compound

Rockport, Maine

July 16, 1997

It was raining, with no letup in sight. "Man, I’m bored," Jonny Quest said as he sighed.

"So am I, my friend, but complaining will not help," Hadji stated.

"I know!" Jonny exclaimed. "We could upgrade QuestWorld!"

"NO!" Jessie and Hadji shouted in unison.

"Jonny!" Jessie protested. "You remember what happened last time, don’t you?"

"So, Jess? It was only a small explosion."

"Yeah, but it took a week for the dust to settle! Our dads are still mad over the hole you blew in the wall." Jonny sighed.

"It’s fixed, isn’t it?"

"Jonny!" Jessie sighed in exasperation, giving her best ‘Jonny Quest is an idiot’ look.

"Fine," Jonny said. "You come up with something we can do."

Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light. Jonny, Jessie and Hadji were knocked backwards. When the dots in front of their eyes faded they saw four people standing in the room . . .one woman, three men. "What the . . ." Jessie exclaimed.

"Do not be alarmed," the woman told them. As she came closer, Jessie saw a weird ridge of bone circling the back of her head. "We will not hurt you. We have come to help you."

"Help us? How?" Jonny asked. The man who had the same bone as the woman except had no hair stepped forward.

"Help you relieve your boredom."

"Yes," a tall man with an English accent stepped forward. "Have you ever heard of cable?"

"Cable?" Hadji asked.

"Yes," the third man said as he stepped forward. "Cable TV. It’s where you can get more than just eight television stations. There’s as many as you would ever have time to watch."

"There are several movie stations, children’s stations, a history network, sports networks, news networks, and even educational networks," the English man said.

"You’re serious," Jessie stated. "That would be great! But, how do you people know about this? Who are you?"

"My name is Delenn, this is Lennier, Marcus Cole, and John Sheridan."

"Where did you guys come from?"

"We are from the future . . .a time where there is only one station."

"And that is?" Hadji asked.

"ISN, the Interstellar News Network," the woman, Delenn, told them.

"We came back to save the future. The supposed president, actually a dictator, of the Earth Alliance, President Clark, is in control of the one news network. If cable survives until our time, then we have another weapon to strike back at Clark’s dictatorship," Sheridan said.

"So, what do you want us to do?" Jonny asked.

"Get cable or satellite TV. Not only will you not be bored, but you can see a bunch of great shows and save the future at the same time!" Marcus insisted.

"Before it’s too late to save humanity!" Lennier said. "We Minbari have found that humans are very important to the future of all our races, the Narn, Centauri, Drazi, the Minbari. We need your help!" Jessie turned to Jonny and Hadji.

"It would be fun. I could watch the history network. I’ll bet the shows are great!"

"Yeah, whatever, Jess. It’s the Cartoon Network for me! How about you, Hadj?"

"I want to see the old movies," he told them. "It would be relaxing."

"It’s settled then," Jonny exclaimed. He turned to the four from the future. "We’ll try to talk our dads into it."

"Thank you," Delenn and Lennier said in unison.

"It’s a great service to the resistance," Sheridan told them.

"If I ever come back, and you do succeed, remind to make you honorary Rangers. In the meantime, enjoy your cable and tell everyone else they should get it or satellite TV as soon as possible!" Marcus insisted. "You won’t remember us, but you will remember the cable. Please help!"

"Good-bye," the foursome said.

"Goodbye!" replied the Quest kids. There was another flash of light, they were knocked backwards, and when the dots disappeared from their vision, the foursome was gone.

"DAD!" Jonny and Jessie shouted in unison.

The rain had still not let up. But the Quest kids were no longer bored. They had a satellite dish installed and they were deeply engrossed in a show on TNT entitled "Babylon 5".

"Hey guys," Jonny said. "Is it just me, or do those guys look familiar?"
