Author's Note: Sorry I took so long to add this chapter! I've been very busy. Anyway, I hope these last 2 chapters make up for it.
Weakest Link
The commercial break comes to an end and the shows returns. The light flashes and the sound effects become louder. Only Lucy, Ricky, Ethel, Fred and Bob remain.
"Lets continue to play, the Weakest Link!" Anne says. "We'll start with the strongest link from the last round. That's...Lucy?"
"Yes, it is me. No need to be surprised," Lucy smirks.
"Oh? I have every right to be surprised. It is not every day that annoying pests on this show become the strongest link," Anne says.
"Well! I never-" Lucy begins.
"Yeah, and I can see why," Anne laughs. Lucy sticks her long tongue out at Anne.
"Now. Lets play the Weakest Link!" Anne says. "Lucy. What baseball team won the World Series in 2000?...uh oh."
"We are not past the year 2000!" Lucy yells.
"Here we go again!" Anne sulks. "Just answer the question, Lucy!"
"Okay! Okay!" Lucy says. "Well, I know Fred loves the New York Yankees. If it was around 2000 they would probably win. But of course it isn't the year 2000. It is 1954..."
"LUCY!" Anne yells.
"I'll say the New York Yankees! Final answer!" Lucy says.
"Final answer? Well, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire wasn't made until way after 1954. How'd you know to say final answer?"
"What is Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? All I said was final answer!"
"Oh Lucy," Anne says. "Anyway. You got your answer correct."
"Hah!" Lucy says. Anne ignores Lucy and turns to Ricky.
"Ricky. What reality TV show involves 16 people becoming isolated from civilization where they vote a castaway off every 3 days?" Anne asks.
"Uh...gosh, I don't know," Ricky says. "I'll say 3 Day Vote Off?"
"That is a nice name for a TV show, but incorrect!" Anne turns to Ethel. "Ethel. Who is the host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"
"Oh no! Not this again!" Lucy interrupts. Anne eyes Lucy evilly. Lucy smirks back.
"You're answer, Ethel?"
"Gosh Anne," Ethel begins. "I don't know."
"That's what I figured," Anne sighs. "Fred. Who sued Joe DiMaggio for divorce?"
"His wife. Marilyn Monroe," Fred answers.
"Correct!" Anne says.
"Bank!" Bob yells.
"Bob. Who won an Academy Award for the movie, 'The Country Girl'?"
"Grace Kelly," Bob answers.
"Correct!" Anne says. "Well, team. In that round you banked a disheartening 1,000 dollars."
"Well it is certainly better than nothing!" Lucy says.
"Yes, unfortunately your BRAIN is full of nothing," Anne says. "Whose brain...besides Lucy's...is smaller than a peanut? It is time to vote off, the Weakest Link!"
The voice that the contestants can't hear speaks, "Bob is the strongest link in this round. He banked 1,000 dollars and answered his question correctly. Lucy is the weakest link in this round. Only because Ethel and Ricky are tied for the weakest link and Anne hates Lucy."
"It is time to reveal, the Weakest Link!" Anne announces. "You know what that means, right Lucy?"
"Yes I do," Lucy says. "Bob."
"Bob," Ricky says.
"Bob," Ethel says.
"Bob," Fred salutes Bob Hope.
"Ricky," Bob says.
"Lucy. Why have you chosen Bob? He answered all of his questions correctly. Unlike you," Anne says.
"Yes. But the 4 of us are close friends. I couldn't vote for one of them yet," Lucy says. She walks over to Bob with a 50's camera.
"What are you doing?" Anne asks.
"Well, as long as Bob is leaving, I want a picture with him," Lucy says.
"You are going to take a picture with a camera like that?" Anne says.
"Yes. This is a very nice camera," Lucy responds.
"Yes it is...for a piece of crap," Anne laughs.
"Well excuse me!" Lucy holds the camera in front of Bob and her and takes the picture. Lucy hugs Bob, "thank you!" Lucy walks back to her stand.
"Bob, with 4 votes, you are sadly, the Weakest Link," Anne says. "Good bye, sir." Bob leaves the room.
"The strongest link from that round was Bob. But since he is gone, we'll start with the second strongest link. That's Fred," Anne says. "Lets play, the Weakest Link!"
"Fred. In an annual football game of 1954, the score was 27-20. Who won, the army or the navy?" Anne asks.
"The Navy," Fred answers.
"Correct!" Anne turns to Lucy. "My favorite contestant!" Anne does a fake smile.
"Nevermind. Nevermind," Lucy says.
"Which Oxford medical student broke the four-minute mile in 1954?" Anne asks.
"Roger Bannister," Lucy answers. "Now you are in our year."
"Correct!" Anne rolls her eyes. "Ethel. What type of transplant was first performed in 1967?"
"Now she's leaving our year," Lucy says.
"Mrs. Ricardo!" Anne yells.
"I'll say...well?" Ethel places her fingers on her chin. "I guess, it could be the heart."
"Correct," Anne says.
"Bank!" Ricky says.
"Ricky. Who sang Some Where Over The Rainbow? Do not give me her stage name," Anne says.
"Judy Garland? Huh. I believe it was...Baby Gumm? Wait wait...that was her nickname," Ricky says. "Frances Gumm!"
"Correct," Anne says.
"Bank!" Fred yells.
"Okay. In that round, you would've banked 3,000 dollars," Anne begins. "But because Fred yelled bank before I could speak, you banked a remarkable 4,000 dollars. Each of you answered your question correctly. But it is time to vote off the Weakest Link!"
"The strongest links in this round are Ricky and Fred. The weakest links are Lucy and Ethel," the voice that the contestants don't hear speaks. "But how will the votes follow?"
"It is time to reveal, the Weakest Link!" Anne says.
"Fred," Lucy says.
"Fred," Ricky says.
"Ricky," Ethel says.
"Ricky," Fred says.
"Hmm," Anne smiles. "We seem to have a tie here. Usually, the strongest link would decide who leaves. But, we have two strongest links. So, I decide who leaves." Anne turns to Lucy and smiles evilly.
"No! Not me!" Lucy gasps. Anne begins to laugh.
"Fred. With my vote, you are the Weakest Link! Good-bye!" Anne says. Fred leaves the room.
"Fred?" Lucy says. "Why were you looking at me?"
"To scare you, you idiot!" Anne says. "That is the only reason why I kept you!"
"What?"
"I voted off the smartest one on purpose," Anne says. "It is time for a commercial break!"
