Me- Will you tell me now?

Akiro- Later...

Me- Quit messing with me!

Akiro- I'll tell you if you write this next chapter.

Me- Deal! begins typing

Akiro- I should've thought of that six months ago.

The Angry Mob was diligently following the trail left by Melvin and his coach! Well, they were following the trail, at least. Oh, all right! They were sitting around the demolished Home Depot watching TV. "Well, whaddaya expect?" Spyro asked. "We're bored!"

Come on, you've still got to finish the story!

"No!" shouted the Angry Mob, crossing their arms.

Well, why not?

"First of all," Hunter said, "We're starting to get repetitive. We get angry, we beat up the bad guy in a violent and humorous manner, we get pizza, and the ninja goats make a guest appearance."

So? What's wrong with that?

"We need to do something different! Something different yet unexpected!" Elora exclaimed. "And you're not helping!"

But I'm the narrator! I'm just here to tell the story!

"Fine job you're doing." Hunter whined. "You can't even help us get this story on track!"

That's it! I try and I try, but I never get any respect around here. Well, you guys just lost yourself a narrator. I'm going to Tahiti!

"Fine! Go! See if we care!" yelled Spyro.

(a beat)

"Hello? Hellooo?"

"I think he left!"

"Good going, Hunter!"

"Hey! Elora started it!"

"Don't blame me for this! You just egged him on!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Stop fighting, you guys!"

"Who said that!"

"Who said that!"

"Oh, no! Without the narrator, we can't tell who's speaking!"

"We can't even tell where we are! We could be anywhere!"

"Don't worry! Maybe the emergency narration will kick in soon!"

"What emergency narration?"

"Aiieee! Something touched me!"

"That was me!"

"Who are you?"

"I'm the shrimp! Ow! Why'd you hit me?"

"Because you're the shrimp."

"Where is everyone?"

CLICK!

Spyro: What was that?

Hunter: Something happened.

Spyro: (Gasps) Oh no! The story switched to script format!

All: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Elora: Nobody panic! Let's just get out bearings and find out where we are and try to work with the script.

(Angry Mob looks around and sees they're still at Home Depot)

Bianca: This is good, now lets go find Melvin. But we have to go carefully! Otherwise the script might go out!

Hunter: What do you mean?

Bianca: Script format is a very dangerous way to do a story. One error and the entire plot will go down the drain!

Spyro: (Checking 'Rules of Fan Fiction' book.) She's right! Everyone, be careful!

(Angry Mob tiptoes in synchronization along the dotted line. Funny things happen along the way.)

Spyro: D'oh! Okay, who wasn't careful and caused the script to wipe out half the description?

(Shrimpy-looking shrimp raises hand.)

Spyro- No, you're too small to cause that much of a disturbance. Ah well.

(Smacks the shrimp with a bigger shrimp.)

Hunter: Now we have to re-create everything we did on the way.

Elora: How come?

Hunter: For the benefit of the reading audience! We better hurry too, look how many of them left because of the script format by itself!

Elora: Eek! You're right. Hurry people! Re-create the incident!

(Angry Mob sets up temporary stage with scenery similar to the location they are currently in.)

Hunter: Okay, so I was walking along like this...(Walks to center stage.)

Melvin: And I popped out of nowhere. (Appears on stage)

Spyro: So Hunter quickly drew his gun.

(Hunter pulls out gun. Melvin puts hands up.)

Elora: So then Hunter pulls the trigger, and the gun shoots bubbles.

(Hunter pulls trigger; gun shoots bubbles at Melvin in the shape of a beard and mustache.)

Melvin: So I got really mad and reached over to strangle Hunter.

(Melvin reaches out to strangle Hunter.)

Spyro: But then the rest us snuck up behind them in disguise, like so.

(Angry Mob sneaks up behind Melvin dressed as a bush.)

Bianca- And then we did this!

(Angry Mob gives Melvin big wedgie. Pulls underwear over head.)

Melvin (in high voice)- No you didn't! You did something else!

Spyro: Oh, right!

(Angry Mob duck back inside bush. Big mallet pops out of bush. Mallet hits Melvin.)

Melvin: No, not that! You did that funny thing, remember?

Elora: How could we have forgotten?

(Angry Mob surrounds Melvin, makes balloon animals, rubs balloons in Melvin's hair. Static cling causes Melvin to shoot upwards, hit stage light, and bring it crashing to the ground.)

Melvin (Crawling out from under light; slurring) No! No! No! You guysh did that other funny thing! You knowsh, the one with the shpinning and the shlapping?

Angry Mob: Oh! That funny thing!

(Angry Mob ties Melvin to fan blade; turns fan on high. Melvin spins faster and faster making woo-ing noise like Curly. Melvin goes flying off fan blade into passing blimp; pops blimp, falls and lands on target. Blimp lands on top of him, followed by airplane, weather balloon, battleship, elephant, and safe. Angry Mob opens safe. Melvin falls out.)

Spyro: Was that it?

Melvin: Yesh! That wash it exactly! (Groans, passes out)

Sheila: Oh no!

Angry Mob: What?

Sheila: Do you know how much humor was lost in that sequence because of the script format?

Spyro: (Slaps forehead) Crud! How much?

Sheila: Too much! We're loosing readers fast!

Hunter: NOOOO! Our only hope is for the narrator to forgive us for being mean to him and return to save the day! Quick everyone! We must shout pleas of mercy into the sky in the vain hope that he will come home!

Okay, I'm back.

"Wow! That was fast!" Hunter remarked. "So you heard out cries and came back to us?"

No, actually my flight to Tahiti was delayed, so I decided to come finish narrating this chapter.

"Cool." Spyro said. "So why was the flight delayed?"

(At the airport, on the plane)

"Attention passengers, the pilot has been locked out of the cockpit so we are unable to take off until we find the key or unless someone has a paperclip." said the flight attendant.

Inside the cockpit, the gremlin from the Bugs Bunny cartoon was sitting in the pilot's seat, hacking at the controls with a wrench.

(Back in the story)

The Angry Mob gave the narrator a hug. "Aww, thanks for coming back." Bianca said. "And you're just in time too! Check it out, we've captured Melvin!"

Good job! Well, this chapter's over. Good-bye!

"Wait! No! Don't go!" Spyro yelled. "We have to finish the story!"

Don't worry! I'll send in a temp.

Me- So, another chapter down. Hey, where are you going?

Akiro- I've got to narrate the next chapter!

Me-Why?

Akiro- What? You don't remember what you just wrote? I'm subbing for the original narrator!

Me- Oh, yeah.
