Miscellaneous Street - The Soap Opera

Ice walks into the coffee shop to get a cup of coffee and notices that every seat in the place is filled with either a Daniel, a Jenee, or a Soda and there are at least a dozen of each at the bar. All are sitting down looking dumbfounded. Ice asks Daniel47 why they are all just sitting around and is told that all of them decided to let their other selves figure out the problem.

This is scarier than the 35 Ices in the deli who are all debating abolishing gun control, overturning Roe v Wade, and how Al Gore managed to win in 2000.
 
An almighty roar is heard outside, and a T-Rex charges down the street (crushing several duplicates) and out of sight.

"Must be from a universe where that asteroid never hit" says Planet of the Apes Daniel-122.

"Look, Jenee - Monkey Me!" exclaims Daniel-1.

"Damn dirty human!" replies his hairy counterpart.

Another crash is heard outside. It's Captain Ice's mirror opposite, Admiral Fire. He just blew up Ice's car.
 
"But how? I've no idea how to fix this." mopes Daniel-1.

Daniel-2 suddenly sits up, bright-eyed. "But I know people who do this sort of thing all the time!"

Daniel-2 drags Jenee-1 and Daniel-1 upstairs to the DVD shelf. First up, The Next Generation's "Parallels"...

"Nope, we don't have a shuttlecraft. Or a visor."

Next, that episode of Stagate where all the duplicate SG-1's come through the gate...

"No good. We don't have a Stargate."

Third, that episode of Atlantis where the ship keeps jumping between realities...

"It was just a machine they just put in reverse. WE NEED TO DO THAT WITH CRAZY CAT LADY'S BLUE BOX!" yells Daniel-2, "That's what started this whole thing! We go back to when we returned from the past and stop me coming to the present with you... then none of this will have ever happened!"

Daniel-1 is unimpressed. "We'll just make it worse. As usual."

"At least I'm trying. Now, how are we gonna get from here to the blue box at Crazy Cat Lady's place with all the chaos outside?"
 
Jenee said:
Get one of Crazy Cat Lady's giant cats to chase everyone out of the way?

That would require access to one of CCW's cats - and for that we'd have to be at her place, which is where the Blue Box is. There must be 20,000 people squished between here and there by now.

(*looks out the window*)

...I think I see a Crazy Dog Lady halfway up the road... she'd have no reason to trust us, though. We can't know what kind of life she lived on her Misc Street. Everyone else is either a variation on me, you, Hippy Lady, Ice, RJ or MLB, along with a bunch of people I don't recognize.

IDEA!

What if we took the sewers?
 
* As Ninja RJD and Planet-Of-The-Apes RJD hold down Book-Burning RJD, Classic RJD flags down Rock'n'Roll RJD. After a moment's consultation, Rock'n'Roll RJD thrusts out his chest and throws back his head and yells out, "The only way to collapse the wave function is to find Schroedinger's Cat! Crazy Cat Lady knows the way!" This is followed by a Roger Daltry-ish "Yeahhhhhh!!!" *
 
After the Daniels head to the sewers, Jenee looks out the window over the crowded Miscellaneous Street. RJ's solution sounds plausible, too and the RJs are able to slice through the crowd pretty quickly.

"I wonder what will happen when the RJs put Schroedinger's cat in the box and the Daniels put the box in reverse ..."
 
How are you up there while I'm in the sewer? We're handcuffed together, and you're coming down here with us!

As per Jenee's earlier idea, Daniel-1 tries phoning Crazy Cat Lady... causing the earth to tremble with the noise of thousands and thousands of phones going off all at once from the direction of CCW's place, and then an eerie silence. Daniel's phone reads NETWORK FALIURE.

"Oh, well - off to the sewers. You might want to change out of those nice shoes first, Jenee."
 
Shall I send Gothy Emo Lady and her kids to help you in the sewer? They like cold, dark, smelly places. It reminds them of their cold, dark, empty souls, or some such nonsense.
 
^Thanks, but I don't think the sewers are an option. Not only are there sewer rats, but thousands upon thousands of duplicates of the sewer rats... and mole people. Mole people copies of us. Mole People copies of copies of us. Packed in there like sardines. Mole People Hippy Lady gave me some brownies, but since the mole people have mutatued quite a bit (the otter fur and tails really are something) I'm not sure if they're fit for human consumption.

We're gonna have to take the sky. Any ideas how?
 
* As Backwoods RJD cooks and eats a Mole Person and makes a new hat out of its tail, he points to the sky where Retro Future RJD and other Retro Future duplicates are zipping around in their flying cars. *
 
The Crazy Cat Lady makes an appearance.

Every since I ended up with double the cats (thanks to time travelling) I have very little time to spend with my neighbours. The cats just take up nearly all of my time.

I am trying to find homes for my liger cubs (who have also doubled in number). They are now old enough to leave their mothers. Who wants one - I am giving them away for free?

The multiverse is imploding and you're offloading cats??!

We need to borrow your blue box to fix this right now before we're crushed under the weight of billions of alternate-reality duplicates that are appearing on, in and under Misc Street.

Fly the box to the coffee shop or we're all dooooomed!!
 
While Daniel 1 and a few other Daniels are negotiating with Crazy Cat Lady 1, Jenee 1 starts flirting with Biker Daniel only to be grabbed by the hair and thrown across the room by Biker Jenee. Boxer Daniel attempts to aid Jenee 1 but Biker Daniel won't let him anywhere near Biker Jenee - not that she can't take care of herself obviously. Soon, the entire coffee shop erupts into a barroom brawl with broken tables and chairs and soon someone goes flying through the front plate glass window.
 
^It's in the script, and can't be avoided.

Hippy Lady would like a liger kitten, please! Could she also borrow the Leos and Smileys for a few moments? They'd be handy to clear the house out of all the Hippy Lady variations, who are starting to drive her nuts. You won't have to feed your big kitties for a few weeks once you have them back.
 
I will be happy to lend my blue box to anyone who will take a liger or two.

I am sorry that I didn't notice all the duplicates - I have been too busy looking after all the cats to notice anything else going on.
