Hey, hey, less than one percent of the world! (Hey, did anyone bother to find out the world population?) I'm going to try and update as often as I can to make up for putting this story on hiatus for...three months? As you can see, I am very forgetful.

Shoutouts to CC Rainbow Unicorn and Lake Blue1! (I fell off my chair when I saw that they both came back to the story) Though I'm not particularly happy that Lake Blue is willing to wake me up at five in the morning (see her review for reference) -_-


After yelling at the penguins, return of the giant air horn, fake explosions, and dressing up in a Herbert suit, Astra managed to get everyone to be quiet mostly because of the Herbert suit that scared them into silence. The EPF agents would've put the studio on lockdown if Gary didn't see Astra dragging that suit into the building moments ago.

"What's that Herbert suit for?" Gary had asked, watching Astra lug the heavy thing inside, muttering rude things about Herbert's obesity and getting him a personal trainer. She had heard that exercising can improve your mood.

That's not a bad idea, she thought to herself. Maybe some physical training can whip Herbert into shape so he wouldn't be so grouchy and keen on destroying Club Penguin. Is it being self-conscious of his weight that makes him so "evil," if you could call what he does "evil?"

"Uh, Astra?" Gary snapped her back into reality before an argument could result in her head from her pessimistic side on why she shouldn't try helping Herbert about his weight. Personally, she agreed with the pessimistic side. "Should we send you to a psychiatrist if you're going to argue with yourself again?"

"Hey!" Astra protested. Okay, so this wasn't the first time she fought with herself (Like Peeta did in Mockingjay. Making a Hunger Games reference here). "Fighting with yourself is completely normal! Everyone does that, but they're too chicken to admit that they do!" (Heh. Jonathan the Chicken)

G didn't seem to convinced by this, but he seemed to disregard his thoughts at Astra's murderous glare because he quickly repeated, "What are you doing with the Herbert suit? Didn't you wear that on Halloween? Are you sure you don't have to see a psychiatrist?"

Astra scowled at the last question. On Halloween a couple months ago or so, she decided to go as the scariest being ever known to the penguins of Club Penguin: Herbert Percival Bear, usually the cause of any terror on the island. That caused almost all of the trick-or-treaters she encountered to scream, drop their candy, and run. In the end, it was Rookie, surprisingly, who whipped off the Herbert mask off Astra's head after she said, "Give me all your candy or else." She meant it as a joke, but Rookie took it seriously and, since he loved candy so much, he managed to unveil the penguin who was dressed as Herbert. Unfortunately, the rest of Halloween night wasn't too great because Gary thought there was something wrong with Astra solely for the fact that her costume was the EPF's main enemy.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, I DON'T HAVE ANY MENTAL PROBLEMS!" Astra exploded, putting on the Herbert costume. "Just tell the other agents not to panic because 'Herbert' is in the building," she grumbled, walking into the set of the talk show.

Now everyone was frozen in place, staring at "Herbert," who somehow managed to break in despite the EPF agents guarding the building. Astra could practically hear the question going through their minds: Why isn't the EPF doing anything to stop Herbert?

"Don't worry everyone, I'll save you!" Rookie exclaimed, springing up from where he had been rocking back and forth on the ground, slightly traumatized by the "Astra-is-a-ghost" event.

"Rookie, no!" someone yelled at him, but he was already charging at Astra. Obviously, he didn't get the message to not panic when "Herbert" came in. Rolling her eyes at Rookie's foolishness, she raised a flipper and held him back with the costume's paw. With her other flipper, she removed the mask and shook her hair out of her eyes.

"Are you done yet, Rookie?" she asked him boredly, tossing the head piece aside. Herbert's ugly head rolled along the floor and stopped right in front of Skye, who let out a short, high-pitched girly scream. "I want to take this costume off. Herbert's too fat and all that cloth on the suit to make the costume realistic is hot and itchy."

"I'm not done yet with you, Her-wait, Astra?" Rookie stopped running in place for a moment and stared at her before backing off immediately.

Astra unzipped the costume and kicked that away too. She grabbed the megaphone with enhanced speakers and yelled into it, "WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO DESTROY THE SET?! AUNT ARCTIC WON'T BE HAPPY WITH YOU!"

Somehow, a majority of the film equipment managed to escape any damage, but Aunt Arctic had been knocked unconscious and ended up having to go to a hospital for medical treatment. Before chaos erupted, a tiny light bulb had hit her head. How that happened, Astra had no idea, but it managed to hit her at the exact spot that could knock a penguin out. Since she wasn't available, everyone panicked because their director couldn't give any advice to help with the setup.

After yelling at all of the penguins to clean up and having to put some troublemakers who tried to start a food fight in line with the giant air horn, Astra's current situation was catching the duck PH had yelled at Jet Pack Guy about earlier.

"WHOEVER LET IN THE DUCK IS SO DEAD!" Astra declared, leaping over a crouching Dot, who seemed to be the only one with any common sense so far. It was her idea to send Aunt Arctic to a hospital when everyone else was standing around, muttering, "What are we supposed to do? I'm not a doctor. Are you?"

"About that," Dot said, standing up just as Astra tackled the duck down to the floor. Dot nodded towards the animal Astra was holding. "I let in the duck. Aunt Arctic was mumbling something about a duck being able to help her when she spazzed out before falling unconscious, so I thought that if I brought in a duck, it would calm down her hysterias."

Okay, scratch that about Dot being the only one with any common sense. It seemed like everyone was off their rocker today, and that included Aunt Arctic. No matter how much respect Astra had for the Director of the EPF, she was off her game too.

"Just get this duck out of here," Astra grumbled, handing it to Dot. Glancing around quickly at everyone, she made sure that the cameras were in place and Rookie was sitting in his chair before heading to the bathroom. She needed to go now.

When she just began to relax and stopped worrying about someone messing up on set, the doorknob wouldn't budge. And the bathroom door wasn't locked.


Why does all the bad stuff happen to me? I was locked out of the bathroom once (my sister's idea of a practical joke, but then she had to go moments later and she wasn't inside), but I've never been trapped in one. This actually happened to my friend's sister, and he had to run through the door to open it.

I still don't remember what I wanted to say in the last chapter...
