WHY CHRIS?! WHY?! HOW COULD THEY DO THAT TO MY CHRIS?! I LOVED HIM SO!!! Nym goes into a corner and sulks, "Darn you Ewing! Darn you! First Maggie and now this?! What's next Tymmie and Karyl's deaths?! (Nym suddenly realizes that Tymmie and Karyl may in fact be next.) "Er, nevermind that Ms. Ewing, hate to give you ideas........"

This chapter is really the final farewell to Chris, who will always live on in our hearts....even if he got royally screwed over on his death scene.

"Haha! Yes I totally slammed Lambert in the head with a tomato!" Exclaimed Tymmie.

"Right on!" Cried Karyl, and the two belly slammed.

"That wasn't very nice." Said Vanessa.

Karyl and Tymmie looked at Vanessa, obviously confused, "Uh, he's evil." Said Tymmie

"And we're evil." Said Karyl

Vanessa seemed to ponder this for a moment, "Oh, ya. I remember now."

However, Chris sat in a corner, his head in his hands, sulking.

Maggie, whom had finally loosened up some and was enjoying herself, walked over to Chris, "What's up with you?" she asked.

Chris looked up, tears in his eyes, "I was just killed off!" he lifted up a copy of book Number 11: The Prophecy, "And for no good reason!"

Maggie rolled her eyes, "Well, I was killed off too, and you don't hear me moaning about it."

Suddenly Veto appeared, "Ya me too!"

And Hector, "Ditto!"

"But you don't understand!" he proclaimed, opening to the page of the book and handing it to Hector.

Hector read the page and his eyes widened, "What the heck?! This is almost the exact same dialog from when I died!" he re-read it, "It is the same dialog! 'I need to be free....'" His face paled, "That's my line!"

Maggie looked at it, "You only got 5 pages?! I got a whole book!"

"And I was the main plot point!" Exclaimed Veto.

"You got screwed." All of the dead, yet not, characters replied.

"I know!" Chris said, pouting.

Catty came up, "Er, uhm, Chris, what are you doing here?" she asked.

Chris's eyebrows rose up, "What do you mean? I was invited!"

Hector was still reading the book, "Hey Catty, you're kind of a jerk."

Catty gave a wistful sigh, "I can't help it, Kyle's so....." She sighed again, battering her eyelashes, "Dreamy."

Maggie looked at her and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her crazily, "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH CATTY?!"

Catty tried to respond, but she was being throttled so hard she couldn't talk.

Nym, deciding to take action, walked over to the cast, she tutted, "It sounds to me like someone needs to express their anger through song."

Chris, Hector, Maggie, and Veto nodded. "Yes we do." Said Chris, narrowing his eyes at Catty, who was very dizzy.

The four dead, but not, characters made their way up to the stage. Chris picked up a microphone, "Hello all, we're the characters who have been killed off-"

"Wait!" Exclaimed Serena, "You were killed off? But why? You're such a cool character!"

Chris's right eye started to twitch, "I know."

Stanton sat, pondering, "And it doesn't seem fair that terrible characters such as Tianna get to survive...."

Now both his eyes were twitching, "I know."

"And it couldn't have helped that Catty goes straight ahead and kisses another guy." Said Vanessa.

"I know!" He said, a vein throbbing in his head.

"That and the fact that you only got about two pages for your death, even though you've been alive longer than Maggie." Came Michael.

"I KNOW!" He yelled, his face purple from rage.

"That and your butt looks fat in those pants!" yelled out Morgan.

"I kn- wait, what?" asked Chris, confused.

Morgan shrugged, "Just pointing out facts."

Hector shook his head and grabbed the mike from Chris, "Anyways, we're going to perform 'Betrayal No. 5, seeing that there are 5 of us-"

"Um, there's only 4." Pipped up Veto.

Hector rolled his eyes, "Fine. Betrayal No. 4." He looked at Veto, "Happy now?"

Veto nodded smugly.

Chris stole back the mike, "And it's about how we shouldn't be killed off! Cuz that's just cruel!"

Nym rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers, "Hurry it up! There's been about 3 typed pages and no song!"

"Er, sorry," Said Chris, who then opened his mouth and began to sing.

Chris: Ladies and Gentleman (He added with a nasty look, 'And Catty.')
This is Betrayal No. 4
One, two, a three, four five!
Everybody's in a book
So c'mon let's die, when an ancient curse comes round the corner
We can get hexed and tie our own noose
But I really don't wanna

Veto: His tears burst like they did last week
Cuz Catty cut him deep
But his death was cheap!
It's all because of Vanessa, Catty, Jimena, and Serena!
And as I continue
You know they're getting meaner!

Maggie: So what can I do?
I really beg and you my Goddess
To me Dying's just like getting hurt, anything to cry
It's all good, but Chris's ending? Let me dump it
And now please set in with the trumpet!

Suddenly, Collin comes in, his hair slicked back and with a beret, hammering a few notes on the trumpet.

Serena looked confused, "Since when can Collin play trumpet?"

Stanton rolled his eyes, "You're just mad that they didn't include a cello solo!"

Serena looked as if she were about to protest, but lowered her head. "Yes. I am shamed." She muttered.

Hector: A little bit of Vanessa to end my life

Chris: A little bit of Regulators by my side

Veto: A little bit of gangsters, is all I need.

Maggie: A little more lines of 'set us free'

Hector: A little bit of slavery isn't fun

Chris: A little bit of parchment to make me gone

Veto: My little bit of closure, here I am

Maggie: Making bad death scenes doesn't make us fans Hector: Betrayal No. 4!

Chris: Jump up and go to Nefandu!
Shake your head when you're found
Then lay your scroll on the ground!
Burn one side left
And one side right
Clap your hands once
And break my heart twice!
And if I look like this,
You're doing it right!

Veto: A little betrayal, to end my life!

Maggie: A little bit of a knife, in my side!

Hector: The removal of leg bands was all I need!

Chris: A little bit of destiny is what I see!

Veto: The river Styx, isn't fun!

Maggie: A couple bits of terror, all night long

Hector: The little bit of Underworld, here I am!

Chris: Messing up my death scene, doesn't make me your fan

Chris than proceeded to do a do-whop kind of dance, motioning to Collin, "The trumpet!" He bobbed his head, "Ya, ya we need the trumpet!" he paused then did some weird kind of bird call, "Betrayal No. 4!"

Veto: A little bit of Jimena, was in my life!

Maggie: A little bit of protégées by my side!

Hector: A little original dialog is what I need

Chris: The end of my part in the series, is what I see

Veto: A little better ending for Chris, would've been fun!

Maggie: A lot cooler rhyming, in this song!

Hector: I didn't think Vanessa, would pull a scam!

Chris: Seeing Catty kissing another guy makes me feel so damned

All: ARRIIIIBBBBAAAAA!

Michael rose an eyebrow, "Hey, there's no Ariba in the song!"

Stanton turned around, "Sh!"

Michael put a hand to his chest, blinking a few times, "I know you didn't just 'sh' me!"

Stanton nodded. "Yes I did."

Michael snapped around his face, "Back off Barbie!"

Suddenly, Tianna entered, "That was my cue!" she exclaimed happily, her and Derry pulling up in the hot pink convertible.

Nym walked up to them, "Hi Tianna, what took you so long?" She said smirking.

"It was the oddest thing, a cow landed on our hood!" Said Tianna, gesturing to the rather large dent in the car.

Nym twiddled her fingers, "Exxxcccceeeelllllleeennnnnttttt......"

"Uh, guys?!" Snapped Chris, tapping his foot.

Everyone turned around, "Ya?"

Chris gestured to himself and the group, "We just finished singing." There was crickets chirping, "No applause? No nothing?"

Everyone in room: Collective shrug.

Chris gawked at the crowd.

Suddenly, there was something that sounded remarkably like chimes, everyone turned around to see that Kyle had entered.

Everyone in room: KYLE!!

Soon, Chris found himself standing alone on stage, everyone fawning over Kyle. He crossed his arms, "New characters." He scoffed, he turned around, "Right guys?"

He soon found that Maggie, Hector, and Veto were also fawning over Kyle. Chris threw down his mike and sauntered off, "I hate showbiz." He muttered.
