Me: Heh...hi guys
Iggy: Yeah, hi. How long has it been, Bell? Like, FOUR MONTHS?
Me: :( I'm sorry...I just kinda put off writing this for such a long time because of writers block. It was like 'I can't think of anything so I'll do it later...' but I never got around to it. However, I've been getting random reviews for this, so I sat myself down and wrote something...and it worked!
So, here's the next chapter. Jeez, I hope I still have readers
Iggy: I hope you don't
Me: -sigh- sorry everyone! I'll try to update more frequently. In fact, I'll start the next chapter now as proof :)
Iggy: you'd better
Me: Alright, here it is. Just know that I don't own anything. There are a lot of random references in this chapter...
Hope you like it :)
Fang: So…why have we all been called to sit around this table?
Gazzy: Are we, like, becoming the new Knights of the round table…but instead of armour we wear snuggies?
Max: If that's why we're here, I'm sooo gone-
Shelly: This has nothing to do with snuggies! It's to do with the freaking progress of this book!
Nudge: But everything's going fine! We're halfway through the book and-
Shelly: Nudge, does that look fine to you? -points at Gazzy-
Gazzy: -has dropped out of his seat and is rolling on the floor wrapped up in his snuggie- -cackles maniaclly while trying to wrestle himself out of the fabric-
Nudge: Uh…
Shelly: Or that? -points at Max and Fang-
Max: -is sitting on Fang's lap and making out-
Nudge: …
Shelly: Or what about that?
Iggy: -bashing his head against the table- Llama, -bang- llama, -bang- llama, -bang- cheese -bang- ...
Nudge: So…
Shelly: So what?
Nudge: What's your point?
Shelly: -groans-
Angel: Excuse me, Shelly, maybe you should tell them about the prize.
Flock: PRIZE?
Gazzy: IS IT A SNUGGIE?
Shelly: No-
Gazzy: Talking llama?
Shelly: NO-
Gazzy: Bagel?
Shelly: Gazzy, no-
Gazzy: Ari in a Christmas stocking?
Shelly: What? No-
Gazzy: OH! OH! OH! I know. It. Is. A…..MAGICAL TALKING LLAMA!
Shelly: You already said that and I said no!
Gazzy: What about-
Shelly: For the love of God it's this! -places a large box of doughnuts on the table-
Gazzy: Where? Where's the llama?
Shelly: There is no llama! The prize is the doughnuts!
Iggy: Is there a llama inside the doughnuts?
Shelly: NO- that's it, I'm not getting paid enough. I quit. -leaves-
Iggy: Was about time. He was here for too long.
Director ?: Alright, looks like I'll fill you in on what Shelly was trying to say. So, the doughnuts-
Gazzy: Are you the Riddler?
Director ?: What? NO!
Gazzy: It's just…the question mark-
Iggy: The riddler doesn't exist, Gazzy! You need to quit watching Batman!
Gazzy: He does too! And NEVER!
Iggy: No he doesn't! And you shouldn't watch it!
Gazzy: DOES TOO! And you're just jealous because you can't watch it! HA!
Iggy: …
Nudge: And he pulled the blind card…
Max: Guys, let's listen to what the Riddler has to say.
Gazzy: SO YOU ADMIT THAT THERE IS A RIDDLER!
Max: I-
Iggy: You're a traitor, Max! The real Max would never admit that there was a Riddler!
Max: Fine, you caught me...I'm the riddler!
Gazzy: -gasps- Max was the Riddler the whole time!
Fang: That's news to me…
Iggy: Wait, so if Max is the Riddler, then that means she's really a guy…AND FANG REALLY IS BI!
Flock: O_o
Fang: Thanks a lot, Max.
The Riddler (Director): EVERYONE BE QUIET BEFORE I, uh…use my Riddler powers on you!
Gazzy: The Riddler doesn't have any powers! And Max said that she's the Riddler!
The Riddler: Ok, whatever, just listen. Here's the deal, we're going to keep track of your stuffups from now on and whoever messes up the least gets these doughnuts.
Max: And why do we care about the doughnuts?
The Riddler: Because J.P. has locked us in this room until we get up to chapter 84…and there's no food in here because he's a jerk.
Flock: O_o
Max: You're kidding!
The Riddler: No. I'm not. We're really stuck in here. So, you guys had better get through this unless you want to starve to death.
Iggy: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIEEEE!
Max: Thanks for those words of encouragement.
…
"I'm ok now," I said, lying through my teeth. 'Maybe it's a stomach bug or something.' Yeah, the kind of stomach bug that gives you brain cancer. The kind of bug you get when your whole genetic make-up is about to unravel. The bug you get before you die.
Iggy: -mutters something-
Max: What was that, Iggy?
The Riddler: Congrats, Max, you lose first.
Max: HEY! It was-
The Riddler: NO DOUGHNUTS FOR YOU!
Max: But-
The Riddler: NO DOUGHNUTS FOR YOU!
Max: BUT-
The Riddler: NO. DOUGHNUTS. FOR. YOU!
Max –glares at Iggy-
Iggy: -smirks- I just said that you were such a drama queen!
Max: Hey, that brain explosion hurt like a bitc-
Fang: A big pain the butt. Right, Max?
Max: -bites lip- Yes, Fang. A big pain in the butt.
Iggy: Otherwise known as a B****
The Riddler: Everyone quiet or you'll lose your doughnut privileges too!
Flock: -is silent-
…
And now I was gulping, trying not to cry. As if I hadn't experienced enough emotion already this morning. I muttered a swear word to myself. After I'd heard Angel cussing like a sailor when she stubbed her toe, my new resolution was to watch my language-
Iggy: -cracks up- How's that been working out for ya, Max?"
Max: -glares- Very well.
Iggy: Wait, I didn't say-
The Riddler: And Iggy's out now. Four more left.
Iggy: I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!
Gazzy: -snickers quietly-
Max: I heard you! You're such a f****** jerk!
Iggy: -snickers- And not only have you lost your doughnut privileges you've also stuffed up Angel. Nice going Max.
Max: That's it. I have nothing to lose! -attacks Iggy crazily- -she and Iggy fight on the floor-
Nudge: Should we stop them?
Fang: And lose the chance to watch Max rip him apart? No way.
The Riddler: Break it up, Fang
Fang: No.
The Riddler: I'll take away the doughnuts
Fang: ...
The Riddler: You heard me. I'll get rid of them
Fang: ...the answer is still no.
The Riddler: I'll dump them in the toilet
Fang: …...No.
Gazzy: FANG! I don't want my doughnuts dumped in toilet water!
Angel: Fang must like to drink toilet water.
Gazzy: Makes sense. His name reminds me of that dog from Harry Potter.
Fang: -facepalm-
Angel: Fluffy? Fang isn't that scary and menacing…maybe he's more like a my little pony!
Fang: -stares at Angel-
Gazzy: No! Hagrid's dog Fang!
Angel: Oh yeah! Fang is like a black dog…but he's more like a my little pony.
Fang: Dammit! That's it! -breaks up the fight-
Angel and Gazzy: -highfive-
…
'Oh my God!' I muttered, staring at the lights below us. New York City is at the bottom part of a long, thin island – Long Island, actually. You could never tell exactly where it began and ended-
Nudge: Alright, I have a question. How is this -gestures to small, miniature version of New York- helping us shoot this? It's, like, tiny and Max is describing how big it is! It makes no sense. Why can't we just go outside and fly over New York and-
The Riddler: There goes Nudge's doughnut privileges! And we can't go outside! We're locked in, remember?
Nudge: Oh yeah…
Gazzy: RRRWWWAAARRR! -stomps through the city- RRRWWWWAAAARRRR!
Fang: Stop stealing my lines!
Gazzy: It's not much of a line…more like a word.
Fang: It's my word.
Max: Aw, poor Fang -eyeroll-
Fang: -shrug- Fake sympathy is better than no sympathy at all
Max: Not really.
The Riddler: Looks like we have to rebuild the city…
Max: Forget that. We can't keep filming under these conditions. I say we go on a hunger strike.
Fang: -facepalm- But we have no food! That would be redundant.
Max: Oh yeah…
The Riddler: But she's right, we can't keep filming and-
Dr. M: -comes in- Who wants cookies?
Flock: -stares-
Dr. M: What?
Iggy: Where did you get…
Max: There's supposed to be no food in here! We're locked in!
Dr. M: The door was unlocked…
Max: -looks at the Riddler- YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHECK IT!
The Riddler: I thought…my bad -smiles innocently-
Iggy: WE'RE FREE! Karaoke time!
Everybody's freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to feel good
Everybody's freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to feel good
Everybody's fr-
Max: EVERYONE RUN! -Flock, Dr. M and The Riddler leave-
Ari: -appears from behind the set with J.P's master keys- I knew that it would work. Now the doughnuts and the cookies are mine! MIIINNNEEEEE! OM NOM NOM! -eats-
Me: OM NOM NOM!
Iggy: ARI STOLE MY COOKIES!
Me: -laughs- He's sneaky. At least he let you out of that room. J.P. did'nt give you any food!
Iggy: -laughs-
R&R?
-Bell and Ig
