Author's note: This is my grand debut to fanfiction. Squee! (
I will be referring to myself as Ellie (I'm the host of this fine game show) because that is my online name. As if I would ever give my real one away! And no, it has nothing to do with my real name.
Disclaimer: I (obviously) don't own any of the Maximum Ride characters. They belong to the awesome James Patterson.
Please R&R!!! Now; on with the show!!
(Lights dim. Corny theme music plays. A single spotlight hits center stage.)
Ellie: Good evening everyone! And welcome to Flock Feud, the new game show where members of the Flock are forced to answer embarrassing and revealing questions, complete insane and totally unnecessary tasks and are generally pitted against each other!
(crickets chirping)
Ellie: Come on guys. It'll be fun! (smiles creepily)
(crickets continue chirping)
Ellie: Fine. I'll make the studio pay you 1000 bucks each… And you can stroke Fang's gorgeous wings.
(roaring applause and cheers)
Ellie: That's the spirit! Now, before we bring out the Flock, here's a short word from our sponsors.
A woman's cheery voice begins to speak as pictures of happy children wearing familiar looking jeans dance around a bright field. "This show has been sponsored by the new and improved Itex. Our jeans and diapers are some of the most comfortable around, and not to mention, super stylish! And come visit our new School; totally rebuilt and ready to be on the cutting edge of DNA research. Itex, where the dreams of the worlds most powerful people are put into action."
Ellie: That's not creepy… I really should talk to the producers about our sponsors. Anywho; now to the main event! Let's bring out the Flock!
Ellie: Today the Flock will be split into two teams; red and blue. The Red Team's primary lifeline will be Total, and the Blue Team's will be Ella. Let's start with the Red Team. The first member loves kicking some serious M-Geek and Eraser ass and being in charge. (coughs. And Fang.) She hates authority figures and being wrong. Let's bring out: Maximum Ride!
(cheers and a few "You're hot!"s)
Max: (looking around) I demand to know what this place is! Why have you brought me here?!?!
Ellie: Umm… Isn't it obvious? (resumes host voice) You're on Flock Feud!
Max: (looks around again and notices bright, flashing neon sign that says "Flock Feud!") Oh. Right. (blushes)
Ellie: (hands Max a red t-shirt that says Flock Feud) So Max, if you could please head over to the first chair on the Red Team side-
Max: Does that mean I'm in charge?
Ellie: No.
Max: Why can't I be in charge?!?!
Ellie: BECAUSE I SAID SO, SO JUST GO TAKE A SEAT AND SHUT UP SO I CAN CONTINUE WITH THE SHOW!!!
Max: Sheesh… (sits in first chair)
Ellie: (turns to crowd and smiles creepily again) Sorry about that. My therapist says I have "temper problems." Crazy, right? Anywho, let's introduce our next member of the Red Team. He's our favorite blind cooking and pyrotechnic whiz. Everyone give a big hand for: Iggy!
(Iggy walks on to the set)
Ellie: Iggy! Welcome to the show!
Iggy: Where am I? Why am I here? And how did you develop the power to suddenly bring me here?
Ellie: Isn't it obvious? You're on Flock Feud! (points to flashing sign)
Iggy: Uh… no. I'm blind; remember?
Ellie: Right… sorry. So, you're on Flock Feud because you're, well, a member of the Flock. And my power comes from a secret source. I'll never give it away. NEVER!!!
Iggy: Okay… I'm just going to go sit down now. (Max leads him to the second Red Team seat.)
Ellie: Now, let's introduce our final member of the Red Team. Umm… we're sort of running short on time because the producers were too cheap to buy a one hour time slot instead of a half hour one, so, without further ado; here's Gazzy!!
Gazzy: I demand to know what this is and why I'm here!!
Ellie: You know, for being trained to watch for Erasers and such for your whole life, you members of the Flock are surprisingly unobservant. (sighs and points to flashing sign yet again) You're on Flock Feud! You are the third and final member of the Red Team, so just go take a seat next to Iggy.
Gazzy: Do we get to blow stuff up?
Ellie: We'll see (looks at audience mouthing "no way")
Gazzy: Okay. Whatever.
Ellie: And that, my friends, is the Red Team. After this brief commercial break we will introduce the rest of the Flock! Please stand by.
Ellie: Welcome back! Let's bring out the first member of the Blue Team. He is the male half of Fax/Mang, is brooding and mysterious, and is often mistaken as being emo. Everyone, please welcome the one, the only; Fang!
(many cheers and thundering applause)
Fang: Hey! It's Flock Feud!
Ellie: Finally! An observant contestant! You're right Fang. Welcome to Flock Feud. You are our first member of the Blue Team. Please take the first seat on the Blue Team side.
Fang: Sure
Ellie: Easiest introduction so far! I think things are looking up! So let's introduce our next contestant. Please welcome the Flocks resident beauty expert and chatterbox; Nudge!
Nudge: Who are you? Where am I? How did I get here? Hi Max! Ooh, hi Iggy, Fang, and Gazzy! Now we're only missing Angel! Hey! This looks like a game show! Will we win fabulous prizes? Will they be-
Ellie: Hello Nudge! It's great to have you here! If you could just sit in the second chair on the Blue Team side that would be great. We still need to introduce the Blue Team's final member and explain the rules of the game before we get started.
Nudge: But you haven't told me what this is or-
Ellie: I'm sure Fang will be perfectly willing to explain that to you while I introduce our last contestant.
Fang: (glares)
Ellie: Okay. Let's introduce our final contestant. She is the youngest of the Flock and has more powers than you can count; give it up for Angel!
(Angel walks onto stage and a silver helmet is immediately strapped onto her head)
Angel: Hey! What is this place? And why can't I read anybody's thoughts?!?!
Ellie: Well, you are on Flock Feud, and you can't read thoughts because of the helmet you are wearing. You'll also find that you won't be able to control anyone's thoughts. This is because of the helmet you are wearing, which you will not be able to take off while on the show. This is to prevent cheating.
Angel: (huffs)
Ellie: Please take a seat next to Nudge.
Ellie: Unfortunately, we are out of time because of the show's lack of funding. We'll have to explain the rules next time. Have a great night everyone! (smiles creepily directly at the camera one last time)
The introductions took a little longer than I thought and I didn't want to make it a super long chapter by combining it with the rules. I'll hopefully get to the actual game show in chapter 2 or 3 depending on how long it takes to explain the rules. I'll try to get chapter 2 posted in two or three days.
Please R&R!!
