Phase Two

Mac's POV

Ok, so once the MSes were thick into writer's block, it was time for Phase Two: Deleting the MS stories. MWA HA HA HA HA! This time it was everyone except for Emilie. She didn't come because she wanted to work me back into the story and because she was still trying to recover the few infintismal shreds of sanity she'd had before Phase One that Whistler and Paul's bickering had brutally torn from her poor mind.

"Okay, so everyone know what to do?" I asked.

"I'm not really sure what the orders are," said Lark timidly.

"We go in there, log-in as Her Royal Perfection Incarnate, Empress Supreme Mary-Sue, which will allow us access to every MS story ever written, and DELETE THOSE SUCKERS!"

"You take way to much pleasure from this," commented Whistler.

"I probably do. Is there a problem with that?" I said, raising an eyebrow and crossing my arms over my chest.

"Um, no."

"Good! Let's go!"

Lark's POV

We were about to attempt something extremely stupid and brave. I was quietly freaking out. I mean, come on. What did we honestly have going for us? We had Em, who was still recovering from Whistler and Paul, we had Mac, a little 13-year-old who was ordering everyone about, we had Artemis, the spunky, hot-tempered Italian girl, we had Whistler and Paul, the two shrimpy red-heads who were constantly singing, arguing and causing general chaos, and we had me. The shy girl who avoids conflict like the plague, is scared out of her blinkin' mind of MSes, and really only joined to get her boyfriend back. I thought that we were royally screwed, but you see, there was this nagging little voice in the back of my mind saying: "Lark! Snap out of it! Where's that Irish temper? Who cares if your spirit's been mostly broken? If you love Itey like you think you do, get off your bloody rump and FIGHT!"

Artemis calls it my inner drill sergeant. I call it hope. In a weird drill-sergeanty kind of way. In any case, it was what caused me to take action, following Em's careful orders to delete the MS stories. I got all stories with a title that started with G-K. Artemis got A-F, Mac got L-P, Paul got Q-U, and Whistler got all the rest. There was a painfully large number of MS stories, so, even dividing them up like that, it took hours. Thankfully it was past the Newsieverse curfew, so all the MSes were in bed, and we didn't get caught. We worked til dawn, and then we all went home to our own sections of the Newsieverse and slept hard.

A/N: Yay! An update! It would have been up sooner if people would REVIEW. Just a thought. CTB!
