Chapter 5: All Together
Chris along with Chef were preparing to gather the new possible contestants, GLaDOS had already setup what appeared to be a town. Ranging from the Clevelands, Chris had even managed to bring back the Simpsons with the help of GLaDOS.
"Normally I would have said no to this" said Marge, "but seeing how the prize is 200 million dollars that can be used to put forward toward the kids' college funds."
"Uh, yea" said Chris, "that'd do well too."
"Wow, I can't believe the grand prize has become 200 million dollars!" laughed Homer.
Aside from the Simpsons, old Gunther had returned as she came out of the portal with the Ice King.
"Wow, Gunther, we can really win again this time" laughed the Ice King, "boy I hope I am on the same team you are."
"Wha" said Gunther.
"Wha is right" laughed the Ice King.
"Gunther, you arrived" said Chris, "my star from the last season and the season before that."
"Wha, wha, wha?" asked Gunther.
"Oh, the theme, it's going to be a family style theme, meaning the Ice King will be playing a part too" laughed Chris.
"You hear that Gunther, we get to be on the same side" laughed the Ice King.
"Wha, wha" said Gunther.
Hiro soon came out of the portal, along with the other Toyman Winslow Schott.
"So, you decided to come along?" asked Hiro to Winslow.
"Precisely" said Winslow, "when I heard 200 million dollars was the grand prize, I couldn't turn it down."
"So Mr. Winslow Schott is it not?" asked Vlad as he noticed him, "I have heard much about you, listen why not we make an early deal and you sell me some of your gadgets to me?"
"No deal Vlad" said Winslow, "I know your type."
"Aw come on" said Jack, "you can trust my pal Vlad over here."
"Sorry, I got my own priorities" said Winslow as he was rather interested in GLaDOS.
Other families started to appear such as the Freemans with Riley, Huey and Robert.
"Wow, this place is so big granddad" said Riley.
"Hey, there's a clone of our apartment" laughed Robert as he noticed it, "almost as if this is home literally speaking."
Aside from the Freemans, a certain Gordon Freeman entered from a portal stepping out.
"Hey, Gordon Freeman, the Mr. Silent Guy, how about you landing a spot with the Freemans for the next season?" asked Chris.
"What, but he's not even a relative, just because he has the last name Freeman doesn't mean he's one of us" said Huey.
"You want the 200 million dollars or not?" asked Chris.
"Uh, duh" said Riley.
"Then have Mr. Freeman join ya" laughed Chris.
"So, I guess he won't bad talk us back with him being silent" laughed Robert as he glared at Gordon.
"Hey Peter, we're neighbors again!" laughed Cleveland as he noticed his house within GLaDOS was next to Peter's house.
"You're right Cleveland" laughed Peter.
Other families soon begun to come in, as Nigel Uno stepped out of the portal, his father Monty Uno stepped out, and a helmet ended up being placed on him by GLaDOS who then began to reinstall his Kids Next Door tactics, as the helmet was taken off, Monty was a bit dizzy.
"Where the devil are we?" asked Monty.
"I don't know" said Nigel.
Soon Father and the Delightful Children appeared from another portal.
"This is insanity" said the Delightful Children.
"I thought you could have build something as big as this" said Father.
"About time you guys showed up" laughed Chris.
"Wonderful it's him" sighed Father.
"The Unos, we just need your mom Nigel to show up, along with the rest of your gang" laughed Chris.
"Wonderful" said Nigel.
"So how many of us are going to be involved in this season?" asked Bart.
"Quite a number of you" laughed Chris, "I got a few top secrets in store for this coming season."
Indeed a large gathering of families from previous seasons that were with Chris or at least as regular contestants showed up from various portals, GLaDOS was doing her best to setup their homes with creating the material.
"Let's hope things run smoothly" said GlaDOS.
"Uh, Chris this season's going to be a bit different, there are no teams" said Chef whispered to Chris.
"Relax, they'll be represented by blocks, meaning each family that lives on a block will be a team" laughed Chris.
"Oh, I see" said Chef, "well, I better get myself organized."
Before Chris was going to head to where he was going to meet with his secret helpers for the season, Chris ended up meeting with Mayor from Townsville and Ms. Bellum which the Mayor was selected by Chris and the producers to become the Mayor of the town he was going to be in for the season.
"Mayor Mayor" laughed Chris, "wow, that's something I wouldn't have said, you're going to be Mayor of this here town which the producers want you to."
"Oh, I can't believe I'm on reality television!" laughed the Mayor, "Ms. Bellum, do I look fat?"
"No" replied Ms. Bellum.
"Just do what you normally do as Mayor back home and you'll do just fine" laughed Chris.
"Okie dokie" laughed the Mayor.
