A/N: I was reading Big Nate Flips Out the other day.(In case you haven't heard of it, the book itself is relatively new, so don't worry.) The gist of it is: Gina is the yearbook editor, and Nate, Teddy and Francis join the yearbook committee so that Gina doesn't make it all about herself. Nate becomes a photographer, but he loses the camera. Francis was the one who borrowed it, so HE gets in trouble. Then-you know what, I'll just skip to the end. Nate finds the camera, he and Francis are friends again, and Nate takes some KILLER candids at the Trivia Slam. Okay, this is getting kinda long, so I'll wrap up. Oh, and one more thing. This time, YOU, the reader, will write. You have until May 5 to write. If you want to enter, please PM me your e-mail address so I can send you the rules.

Disclaimer: I, daksmyth93, do not own the 39 Clues, Big Nate or the Trivia Slam.


Dan's POV(my favorite!)

I had just woken up. I was in a dark room. Last night's headache came back in full force. That is the LAST time I have spaghetti tacos. I heard someone groan. Amy.

"Amy? Are you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Where are we?" She says.

"Will you two shut up? I can't sleep!" A voice said. Oh, great. I'd recognize that voice anywhere.

"Sorry for interrupting your beauty sleep, Queen Cobra. I forgot how much you needed it." I say.

"Before you two start fighting, have you even taken stock of where we are?" Ian says.

"We're in a dark room somewhere." Ham says

"Gee, I hadn't realized that. Thanks for the info." Nellie says.

"Ow. I am never eating tacos again." Jonah says.

"Oh, quit your yapping. I've eaten worse." Sinead says.

"Yeah, cause you made it." Reagan says.

"ENOUGH WITH THE FIGHTING ALREADY!" A voice yells. It seems familiar, but I can't put my finger on where I heard it. By now we had quieted down. I'm pretty sure everyone else was trying to find out where the voice was coming from.

"That's better. You have been transferred to a secret base somewhere in the Nevada desert. Where there a no malls for miles around." I'm pretty sure that last part was a stab at Nat.

"WHAT?" She screeched.

"Relax. I'm just messing with you." The voice earned a slight laugh from us. It continued, "You're not really in the Nevada desert. You're somewhere in Attleboro. By the way, you might want to close your eyes."

At that moment lights flooded the room, or should I say, hall. A boy, no taller than me, was standing in front of us.

"Told you." He said. "Sorry about last night. The tacos had sleeping powder in them. It was the only way for us to get you guys to be here without a fuss. Don't worry, all your questions will be answered. But first, you all should really freshen up."

As soon as he said that, twelve doors appeared out of nowhere. "Don't worry, they're not torture chambers. They're bathrooms." The boy said.

Fifteen minutes later...

"Alright, now that everyone's feeling fresher now, I'll tell you what you want to know." The boy said. "First, I apologize for sleep-drugging you last night. I also apologize for not telling you my name. My name is Joseph Cahill. Like you, my name says it all. I am a Cahill as well. Just to clear up any confusion, I belong to the Janus branch."

"Awesome! High five, bro!" Jonah said.

" Great. Another show-off." Ian muttered.

Joseph must have heard him, because he said, "For your information, the Janus are not show-offs. We are just wayyyyyyyyyy better than the rest of you. I mean, who else, apart from a Janus, could get full marks in one of their pieces in their Grade 3 Piano exam?"(A/N: FYI, Joseph is my real name. I'm not telling you what my last name is! I really did get full marks in one of my Piano Grade 3 exam pieces, by the way. I actually topped Malaysia!)

"Alright, we get it. You Janus are really talented in music," Amy starts,

"Thank you." Jonah says

"But you suck in everything else. Now can we please get on with this?" Amy finishes.

"I'm just going to ignore that statement. And I could have started earlier if Ian hadn't dissed the Janus!" Joseph says. "But anyway, let's start. You have been selected to be in the first ever Cahill Trivia Slam. And by selected, I mean chosen by Fiske, then getting sleep-drugged and- sorry. And now, without further ado, your teammates are as follows:

Red Team

Amy Cahill

Ian Kabra

Hamilton Holt

Ned Starling

Sinead Starling

Pheonix Wizard

Blue Team

Dan Cahill

Natalie Kabra

Reagan Holt

Madison Holt

Ted Starling

Jonah Wizard

Oh, and one more thing." Joseph said. "As long as you complete the Trivia Slam, you'll be able to leave. If you win, you can get off scot-free. If you lose, however, you'll still be able to leave. The only thing is, well, the other team...let's just say they'll know a little more about you. The embarrassing things about you." You could hear the evil grin in his voice when he said that. "And, believe me, we've got a LOT of dirt on all of you here."


A/N: Done! Send in your entries via e-mail. Quick recap: PM me your e-mail, I'll send you the rules. Simple, right? Oh, and please review!
