Spin the Wheel (Chapter 4)
Next chappie's here! Sorry for the long wait. -.-
Lucy was sitting down on the couch, playing Megaman X5, about to clear at least half of the game. The show was already live and Minus walked in with a bottle of water.
"Alright, good evening and welcome to –" Minus was cut off by Lucy, who screamed,
"Yes! I'm halfway through the whole game!" She held the remote up high and was standing on the couch.
"…Spin the Wheel, the only place where you can find stupidity by the supposed host." Minus finished, glancing over at his 'friend'. Lucy quickly glanced at him with her hammer taken out.
"I am not stupid!" Lucy retorted
"…You know what? You're right. You're not stupid. You're an idiot."
Lucy glared at him, pointing the hammer already at him. Minus rolled his eyes.
"Alright, you're a cute idiot! Is that better?" He said
"…Whatever. Anyway, be a good friend and tell the audience –"
"If we have any." Minus cut her off. Lucy just glared at him but shakes her head and continued talking
"Tell the audience what's in the agenda." She finished. Minus took out a list.
"Let's see… work on a few drawings, taking out the laundry, and go to –" Minus was cut off when Lucy took the list, a tad embarrassed.
"That's my to-do list…" She said and took out another list. "Ah, here it is. First, we need to call out Cream, for our first part of the segment."
Minus walked towards door that had the cast locked up like it was some sort of jail. Then, he grabbed the microphone.
"Cream, please come out here. Repeat, Cream, come out here." He said and placed the microphone on the table. Soon, Cream was already at the door. Minus opened the door and let Cream out and led her to the main area in the living room. Lucy was waiting with a machete hidden behind the couch.
"Alright Cream. I want to let you know why we called you out here." Lucy said.
"Alright. Why did you call me out here Miss Lucy?" Cream asked.
"Well… this is kinda bad news… but we have no choice. You're fired as fic promoter too." Lucy said.
"Not many audience members replied to that. Instead, we were sued because we threatened half of the world to read, even though it was for a good cause." Minus said.
"Oh." Cream said.
"Yeah. Also, step into that room. That's your ticket to partial freedom." Lucy said pointing to a door labeled "Exit".
"Okay." Cream said and walked into said room. About seconds later, screaming was heard.
"Warning: No animals or people were harmed during the production of this show." Lucy said, holding a bag of cookies. Minutes later, Cream came out, eating a chocolate bar.
"…Wait…isn't Cream supposed to lose her voice or something?" Minus asked. Then, a young midnight blue cat with brown eyes came out in a doctor's vest and it was a boy.
"I just changed her voice to an awesome one." The cat said.
"Yeah, he did." Cream said, but not with her high pitched voice, but with a deep wrestler's voice. Minus and Lucy quickly glanced at each other and then at the cat.
"You were supposed to cut her vocal chords, not make her sound like one of those wrestlers on TV!" Minus exclaimed, waving his hands in the air.
"I'm just a kid. Besides, I'm not trained to cut out vocal chords." The cat said. Minus just placed a hand on his forehead with his eyes closed, shaking his head as well. Lucy quickly turns to the audience.
"Well, while we find a way to fix the problem, the second thing to do for the night is to interview someone! And for that, we're going to… spin the wheel!" She said as she walked over to the wheel and spun it. The wheel soon stops at a question mark. Then, a card pops out from the toaster that was set next to the wheel. Minus raised an eyebrow.
"…Since when did we afford a toaster?" He asks.
"Since after the time where I told you to dive into a volcano." Lucy answered and grabbed the card. "And our victim for the day is a character from the Archie comics, Nicole." The audience cheers as a brown lynx with green eyes known as Nicole walks into the stage. Minus motioned for her to sit down on the couch, which she did. Lucy sat next to her and Minus sits down on a chair.
"Nicole, great to have you here… in your Mobian form since we don't have a computer… which we actually do, but we need it to broadcast…" Lucy started.
"Don't worry about it. My nanites are helping me stay connected and I can stay here in my form for a while." Nicole said
"Great... first question would be: do you like being an A.I.?" Minus asked Nicole
"That's artificial intelligence for some that don't read the comics." Lucy said
"...I think everyone knows that Lu…" Minus said.
"…Are you two like dating or something? You two look like you argue a lot." Nicole asked
"We ask the questions Nicole. Please answer the one Minus asked you." Lucy said, changing subject.
"Hm… well I like being an A.I. and it has its advantages, but also disadvantages as well…" Nicole answered
"Like people fearing you? Reference to your last comic appearance?" Minus answered, which earned a glare from Lucy.
"Minus, we don't need to make guests feel horrible." She said, crossing her arms.
"I'm just asking a question." Minus shrugged.
"…Well, I played along with being possessed but unfortunately, the citizens are afraid of me… and well, going to Mina's concert made me feel upset…" Nicole answered.
"Yeah, it did. Anyway, since you're not feeling well, let's just ask you one last question. Do you like Espio?" Lucy asked, curiosity taking over and well, she was smiling a bit slyly, while Nicole blushed a faint pink. Minus takes out a plunger and puts it in Lucy's mouth.
"...Ignore her. She's kind of crazy." Minus said, shifting his gaze to Lucy, who was trying to take off the plunger from her mouth.
"It's alright, but to answer the question, we were just having a friendly conversation. And well, I felt better when I talked to him…" Nicole answered. Lucy got the plunger out of her mouth and gasped for air a bit.
"They were also having a moment!" She exclaimed happily. Minus and Nicole glanced at her, but Minus gets a dog muzzle and placed it in Lucy's mouth.
"Again, ignore her. She's just crazy." Minus said.
"Alright. Are you sure you guys are not dating or something?" Nicole asked. Minus quickly glanced at Nicole.
"No. We just have this weird friendship which got me some time to get used to it. Anyway, we're done and you can leave through the exit door." He answered pointing at the "Exit" door.
"Thanks for having me here. See you later." Nicole said and warps away using her nanites. Minus just rubbed his eyes with his right hand.
"Alright, we're going to go. Going to watch a Pay Per View online. Review by clicking the button if you dare and entertain yourself by playing video games for ten hours straight. Good night." He said as the show went off the air.
R&R and see ya on the next update!
