(Here is chapter #2. Thanks to Niblick, Stephen V, capm, fatlip565, and sexychicky862 for reviewing chapter 1. We are continuing on with round 1. Note to Niblick: I can't really think of a mission, but I should come up with one in my next story. If you want to see a real mission, check out my story called "Where are they?" Just click on my pen name, then scroll down until you see the title.)
(A/n: The letters underlined means that the letter is out of place, the ones left alone – in black means that it is correct, and the ones that are not there means the letter is not in the word. The x's in the boards mean that the number has either been marked off or been pulled out.)
(Note: I made a mistake in the score before the end of the chapter. The score was actually 100-nothing, just to clarify all the confusion.)
Chuck: Welcome back. We're gonna find out a little bit more about our players, starting with Mathew. How are you, Mathew?
Just perfect, Chuck. How are you doing?
Chuck: I'm fine thanks. Tell me about yourself.
Well, when I'm not in school, I'm usually in front of a TV screen, or out riding off-road motocross, or playing video games, but most of the time, I'm with the gorgeous girl right beside me. And can I really quick say "hi" to my grandpa and grandma who watch the show everyday at home, and might I mention that I watch the show as well at home, and I just love the way Stacy comes up with the stuff when she introduces you. I like it.
Chuck: Oh you do?
Stacy: Why thank you, Mathew. I'm flattered.
Chuck: Good to have you here, Mathew. Hi, Sam. How are you?
Sam: (shakes Chuck's hand) I'm feeling great thank you.
Chuck: That's wonderful. Tell me about yourself.
Sam: Well, when I'm not at school, I'm mostly with my friends Clover and Alex, as well as Mathew at the mall, or just watch some TV or lead a regular teen life.
Chuck: Interesting. (walks over to Clover and Alex.) Hi, Clover. How are you?
Clover: I'm fine.
Chuck: That's great. Tell me about yourself.
Clover: Well, I'm usually hanging out with Alex, Sam and Mathew at the mall, or if I invite them at my house. Sometimes, I'm with them at the beach, or any other particular place.
Chuck: Nice to have you here, Clover. Hi, Alex, how are you?
Alex: Good how are you?
Chuck: I'm excellent. Tell me about yourself.
Alex: Well, when I'm not at school, I'm most of the time with Clover, Sam, and Mathew at school or the beach, the mall, just pretty much the same stuff as Clover and Sam.
Chuck: Nice to have you here, Alex. Okay, before we continue with round 1, we have to give Mathew and Sam a new Lingo board since they got a lingo before we went to break. Stacy will you do that?
