Chapter 18 - The Conspiracy

"It's P-sychiatrist!" Wakko blurted out

"We'll accept that!" Pat got the confirmation from the judges.

Wakko continued to fidget around while Pat came over to congratulate him.

"Congratulations Wakko, you've won $2,000, you're tied with Barb..." Then Pat realized Wakko was all jumpy. "What's wrong?" he asked

"I have to potty!" Wakko ran off-stage while the audience laughed a bit. Pat himself couldn't hold back a few chuckles.

"Well, We'll take another break, when we come back, hopefully Wakko will be done his! Don't go away!" Pat smiled as the cameras cut away.

A few minutes later, Wakko came out of the men's room (And yes, he did wash his hands) Only for Mark the contestant Co-ordinator to meet up with him.

"You OK, Wakko?" asked Mark

"I'm better now. Probably shouldn't have had that pepsi."

"Don't worry about it. Listen, everyone's backstage, we're gonna do something special in the next round, so come with me." Said Mark

Wakko was a little bit nervous.

Mark led Wakko into the greenroom, where Pat, Vanna, and Barbie were all there.

"What's going on?" asked Wakko

"We gotta get that polyester numbskull out of here." Said Pat

"I'm willing to let him win a round just so he can be happy." Said Barbie

So the group devised a plan to get rid of Baloney.

The cameras began rolling again to signify the beginning of Round 4.

"Welcome back, everybody. Thankfully, Wakko has done what needed to be, so let's get ready for round 4, and the category is Thing."

"And Baloney, You get to go first!" said Pat

"Oh, goody!" Baloney again tried to spin the wheel, but this time it automatically spun and landed on the 250$ space.

"Ok, Baloney, Guess a letter."

"Hmmm...Is there an X?" asked Baloney

"Yes, there is a D, 250$ for it." Said Pat, While Vanna lit up the puzzle.

[D][ ][ ]

Baloney was a little bit confused.

"But D isn't an X." Said Baloney

"Ok, you'll spin the wheel!" Said Pat, ignoring Baloney.

The wheel spun automatically and landed on 200$.

"Um...Is there a Q?" asked Baloney

"Yes! there is a G, a 200$ for it." said Pat

[D][ ][G]

"Hmmmm...What do I do here?" asked Baloney

"Yes! That's right! Dog is the answer!" the studio clapped for Baloney as Vanna lit up the last letter to reveal the word Dog in the puzzle.

Pat came over to congratulate Baloney.

"Congratulations, You've won 450! and a special prize! Tell em, Charlie!" Said Pat

Then Charlie made the announcement.

"Baloney! you get to take a free Ride in our Wheel of Fortune Catapult!" Said Charlie

"Oh, Fun, fun fun!" Baloney jumped into the catapult's scoop to be launched.

"Ready, Baloney?" asked Pat

"Sure am, Pat! Let's have some Fun, fun, Fun! Yay!" Baloney remained oblivious to the fact that his opponents and the staff had totally conspired to get rid of him.

Then Pat pulled the lever, and Baloney was flung out of the studio and thousands of miles away.

"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Baloney smiled as he was flung away.

As he disappeared, the studio sighed a breath of relief.

"Oh...man. Now we gotta take another break, we'll come back! don't go away!"
