BOSTON, MA

As the former Lilith Crane exited Cheers, she looked up the stairwell, and saw someone descend.

"Well, well. If it isn't the great playwright. Welcome back, D...."

A telekinetic bolt destroyed her. Carla Le Beck shrugged.

"And me without my camcorder!"

But Carla was next to die, as the barstools came to life.

As Diane Chambers entered Cheers once more, Rebecca Howe grabbed
soda-dispensing hose, and aimed it at her predecessor.

"You will stay back--or-or--geez!"

Rebecca went flying over the back of the counter. The angry Diane gestured and Melville's upstairs was destroyed. Woody Boyd shook his head, and threw down his apron.

"All right, Miss Chambers. Now I like to think we're friends. But if you're gonna go and do stuff like that, I'll have to ask you to leave."

Diane brought the glasses above Woody down on him. She then looked at Norm Petersen. He pleaded.

"Diane! Whatever you feel we've done to you, there's no need to slaughter innocents!"

She grinned, and surely enough, the beer tap was incinerated while Norm had a fatal heart attack.

The people began to run.

"Where did she get this kind of power?"

Someone, sadly, had an answer, as he always did.

"Well, there, yer studies show that telekinesis is like doubling a penny, each and every day, til by the months end, you got--ah--yerself a tidy pile of pennies. It all started with the ancient Egyptians..."

Diane negated gravity's hold on Cliff Claven, who kept right on talking straight through until at last, merciful explosive decompression took him.

Now, only one remained. He emerged. He saw Diane's glowing eyes.

"Hello, Sam!"

"Baby, why are you doing this?"

She seized him and held him up against the wall by his neck.

"Three years ago, we were to be married. I left to help my literary career. You promised to check on me, after six months. You never did! You left me alone in a brutal world which I was unready for."

Sam looked down.

"Diane, that was TEN years ago, you told me not to call you, because of your schedule, and from what I've heard, all of your reviews were aces."

Her eyes stopped glowing, she let him down. She nodded her head, smiling.

"THAT'S right! Oh, Sam. I've been in such a snit. Can you forgive me over Cappuccino?"

Sam looked around at the carnage.

"Nooo. Diane, I am not feeding you Cappuccino after this."

She huffed, and turned to leave.

"That's fine, Sam. If you are going to choose to be petty and vindictive, there's nothing I can do about it--TA!"

Hours later, as Sam sorted through the bodies and wreckage, a visitor from Seattle paid a call.

"Sam?"

"Yes, Frasier?"

Frasier Crane looked at what was left of Cheers. He gestured broadly.

"This carnage--this utter chaos!"

He put his hands firmly on his hips.

"Why didn't you tell me that Diane was coming by?"

Later that day, Sam had dinner with a redheaded Councilwoman named Kate. Together with Frasier, they took a river cruise down the Mississippi, all the way to The Delta Region. Sam had wanted to take a different cruise, but Kate insisted.
