…..Yeah…..

Chapter something-or-other: noob is a nice word

"DUCK!" I screamed.

Zafe looked up. "That's not a duck, it's a chicken…"

Draye pushed his head down. "Well it doesn't matter, just get down!" In a moment of rare bravery Zafe stood up and hurled an apple pie across the bar.

"Ah! Fuck!" came Sneha's muffled cry at being struck full on in the face with a cake.

"This is war, Sneha, there's got to be equal damage!" said Hilaria, wiping frosting out of her hair.

So, what was going on? Well, it's simple.

Food fight. OH yeah. The teams were as follows: Noobs against Us.

The noobs were the three new members: Kontra, Faith and Liah. And damn, I doubt they actually knew what they were doing. This is, neither did we. It evens out.

Anyway, for the fight, we pretty much held up a Food Emporium. Yeah, that was fun. Heheheh.

"OW! DAMMIT!" I screamed as a pizza buried my hand. Off to my left Bat had set up a mini cannon and was mechanically loading it up with Snapple bottles. The sound of breaking glass rang through the bar as the bottles hit the opposite wall.

"WOMAN DOWN! REPEAT, WE HAVE A WOMAN DOWN!" yelled Azulcat as Night was taken out by a pear in the ear. Draye launched a hail of chestnuts from a slingshot.

Through the deadly rain of food products, I spied Kontra stand up and start drizzling ketchup in our general direction, followed by Liah, grinning madly, who began to fire uncooked spaghetti through a machine gun. Oh, fun.

"Oh, CRAP." I looked over curiously. Azulcat gave me a look of mixed utter disbelief and held-back laughter. She pointed to her own nose, where a strand of hard spaghetti was lodged. Zafe shook with laughter at Azulcat's predicament.

Bat rolled her eyes and yanked the spaghetti out. "Come on, this is war! No time for this!" she said, and was instantly forced to eat her own words as she took a hit to the stomach. By a coconut, no less! Embarrassing.

"DEATH TO THE AUTHORS!" screamed the large mob outside. It was mostly comprised of Eragon characters.

"DAMMIT!" screamed Faith. "YOU INTERRUPTED OUR WAR!"

"YEAH!" shouted Hilaria and Sneha. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?"

I elbowed them. "Don't say that, we were losing!" I hissed.

"You WERE?" yelped Liah, looking absolutely delighted. Kontra smacked her upside the head. "Yeah, couldn't you see them losing troops by the minute?"

The mob roared. "Uh, guys, can we get back on topic?" Azulcat asked. "WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE."

Without a word Night handed out glow-sticks. "Um…?" I asked. Mine was pink.

"Crack 'em," she said. Bat shrugged and cracked her glow-stick. The rest of the MPS followed suit. Night then proceeded to charge the mob, screaming and waving her fluorescent blue stick. The mob was silent. They parted, not wanting to get hurt by the apparently crazy person. She passed through the crown without injury.

The light bulbs flicked on. We looked at each other, shrugged, and ran screaming into the mob.

Half a block away, we stopped. "DAMN, those characters are stupid!" Draye said.
