Is That Your Final Answer?
Disclaimer: I do not own Wicked or any of it's characters.
A/N: Thank you so much to those of you who reviewed/subscribed! I will try to update at least once every week but, you all know how it goes sometimes! Sorry this one took so long, my Microsoft word was acting up.
"Hello again, and welcome back to the game show 'Is That Your Final Answer!' with me, as your host, and the cast of Wicked as your contestants! Please, ladies and gentleman, put your hands together for the main characters of Wicked!"
The audience roars with applause, but they are stopped so the announcer can add to the introduction. "I'm sorry," she says, "It seems as though I didn't read the entire introduction. It says, 'put your hands together for the main characters of Wicked, and Boq!"
This time, the applause is greatly lessened.
"Wait! Wait a minute!" A small voice rises up from the stage. "Am I not important?" Everyone turns to recognize
"No, just- you're not a main character and you're voice is too high for a grown man, now excuse me, I have to announce the first game!" The hostess says with confidence.
"I may have a voice that's-"
"Okay," Areyoufeelingwicked begins, ignoring the small man, "for this first game, everyone's going to start out with xero points. Everyone except for Boq, just because he doesn't have a last name."
"I do to! Many people say that it's Riddle!" The munchkin protests, gaining a few cheers from the crowd.
"Yes, but they only say that because it's a riddle as to what your last name is...does that make sense?" Another audience member shouts.
"Alright, alright, that's enough of that nonsense!" Our host interrupts, yet again."Our first game will be a contest! And to tell you more about this game, I'd like to introduce you all to YeroismyHero! Now, there were many similar ideas sent in, but we're going to start out with this idea, just to give our players a chance to warm up!"
The hostess walks over to the audience and finds a chair to sit in. "Now, tell us about this game!"
"Well," YeroismyHero begins, "they are going to try and eat six Saltine crackers within one minute!" A round of applause promptly follows the explanation.
Just as the players get up to begin, an out of control grammar/english Nazi jumps up. "WAIT YOU CAN'T DO THIS!"
"Why not?" Fiyero replies nonchalantly,
"Because you're in the wrong tense! This chapter is supposed to be passed tense!"
For the first time since beginning the show, Elphaba decides to speak up. "Actually, she's right, you're supposed to-"
"Okay, alright, let's begin! I'll write differently!" The author promised.
"Thank you!"
"Does everyone have their crackers?" The contestants nodded while eying their challenge. "Now, you have one minute to eat all six and if you drink any water, you're disqualified. Ready? Set! Go!"
The timer set off, leaving everyone but Fiyero, trying to figure out what to do. The winky prince, however, confidently started the challenge by shoving four of his crackers into his mouth. The Winky chewed for a minute, frowning, as he realized that the task was more difficult than he first thought.
Meanwhile, the rest of the cast was just beginning to take their first bites. All except for one, that is. "Excuse me!" Nessa called, "I can't reach the table top!" She wheeled up closer to the table, but this did not help her a bit.
"Okay, hold on." Elphaba brushed the crumbs off of her area, although there were few, for she had only consumed half a saltine. The green girl picked up and moved over to assist her sister. "Here," she said, handing Nessa the plate and holding the water for her.
Elphaba's actions earned a few snickers from Fiyero, even through his thoroughly stuffed mouth, and Galinda.
"Thirty seconds left- Galinda, you're disqualified." The audience turned its attention to the blond, who was taking small, dainty, sips.
"No, I'm not," she protested, continuing on in the same way.
"Yes, you are- twenty seconds."
At this time, Boq had completely given up and Fiyero only had two remaining crackers. "Almost done!" He said proudly, swallowing his first bite and sending a few crumbs onto the table. This, does not go unnoticed by the crowd and it does earn a few disgusted sounds from amidst the seats.
"Ten seconds left."
Elphaba looked up at Fiyero, who was directly to her left, just in time to see him slip one cracker into his mouth and the last onto Boq's plate. "Hey!" She stood up. "I saw that! You cheated!"
Meanwhile, Boq was too busy with his own frustration and tears to notice that Fiyero had indeed slipped an extra wafer onto his plate.
"Five seconds."
The green girl crossed over to the prince angrily. "Take that back!" She reached across him to grab the saltine from the munchkin's plate but Fiyero grabbed her wrist before she could slip it back into his hand. They exchange angry looks just before the buzzer sounds.
"Oh dear, that didn't go very well," the host says in a worried tone. "No one finished with out being disqualified."
"I finished!" Fiyero called out, swallowing quickly.
As soon as the arrogant prince opened his mouth, Elphaba took the opportunity to shove the remaining wafer into his mouth. "There, that's better."
"Well, I don't see how we can give any points away- Boq, would you stop crying, it's over okay? Sheesh! Almost everyone cheated! What- okay, I guess we'll let this one slide, but next time, please let's refrain from cheating!"
There is a small pause wherein everyone turns they're attention to Fiyero, who is flicking cracker crumbs at Elphaba. The witch scoffs and reaches over to smack him with her book that she had already retrieved. "Oz, some people have no manners..."
Finally the hosts voice comes back over, breaking the awkward moment. "Well that's all for today, thank you for tuning in and we hope to see you next time on 'Is That Your Final Answer?' Goodnight!"
