Alex Trebeck: Ken Jennings, for the final Jeaprody! question, the answer is: She doesn't own Tortall, its characters, Uncle Bumpo, Jeaprody, or you.
Ken Jennings: Uh...who is Kiroscura?
Alex Trebeck: Correct!
A/N: Hooray! My first non-family review! Darth Tater, awesome name! And trust me; I've thought about it. Also, as always, spoilers for Trickster's Queen. Now, on to chapter 3!
"Uncle Bumpo! Uncle Bumpo! Everybody loves their favorite uncle! Uncle Bumpo!" The cheery group skipped up the hill overlooking Pirate's Swoop arm-in-arm, singing in the range of chipmunks on speed. Alanna trudged behind them.
"Hey everybody! We're here!" shouted Uncle Bumpo. The group got to work spreading out a joyful blanket, a cheery basket, and yummy-in-your-tummy foods.
Everyone shoveled the food down their mouths making ridiculous "yum!" sounds all the while. Except, of course, Alanna.
"Out...of...my...HEAD!" She screamed, hitting her head in pain. She hated the Uncle Bumpo theme song, and, in some cruel, ironic twist of fate, it was now stuck in her head. No one noticed her; they were too busy watching Uncle Bumpo propose to Kel.
"Kel," he said dreamily. "I love you. Will you marry me? We can have little baby Bumpos!"
Kel smiled back. "Of course I'll marry you!"
Alanna gaped. "You've only known the man for six hours!" Everyone ignored her. Alanna tried again. "What about Dom? Aren't you supposed to have some 'secret crush' on him?"
Kel's face darkened for a moment, as if she were trying to remember something. She spoke in a soft, vacant voice.
"Who's Dom?"
