Sorry it's been a while. I have just completed my ninth day of ninth grade, and so far it has been very hectic. But I have developed a schedule that will ensure more consistent updates. Please see the author's note at the end of the chapter for details.

In answer to TulipBook's thoughtful review, I would just like him/her to know that I will be keeping the format the way it is. I considered both of you suggestions when I was starting out and I decided that I wanted to make it more like my readers are watching a show or reading a script rather than an actual story. And it's sort of hard to do that and have a particular person's POV, so it's just staying the way it is.

Yay! Weird, Word doesn't recognize yay as a word. What was I going to say again? I don't remember. Grr…Hmm…Do I have anything else to say?

Nope! To chapter three!

(Lights dim. Corny theme music plays. A single spotlight hits center stage.)

Ellie: Good evening everyone and welcome back to Flock Feud! Just a reminder, our two teams are the Red Team the Blue Team. The members of the Red Team are Max, Iggy, and Gazzy. The members of the Blue Team are Fang, Nudge, and Angel. We left off after finishing the second question of the first round, and the Blue Team is leading two zip.

(silence)

Ellie: You know, it would make me and Steve the prop card holder really happy if you cheered when we held up a card that says "applause and cheers" for once. A little audience participation is never frowned upon in both the game show and talk show circuits.

(more silence)

Ellie: You know what? I take back my previous offer! If you don't follow every single cue card for the rest of this show, not only will you not get paid, but you won't be able to stroke Fang's wings!

(gasps followed by thunderous applause and cheers)

Ellie: That's the spir-

Fang: You told them they could stroke my wings if they followed your stupid cue cards?!?!

Ellie: Fang! How nice of you to show your emotions for once. And my cue cards are not stupid! How dare you say such a thing. Yes, I did tell them that they could stroke your wings, and guess what? There's nothing you can do about it!

Fang: Wanna bet?

Ellie: Actually, no. First, I don't have any money, so we would be betting with lint. Second, what I want to do is get back to hosting my game show.

Fang: Whatever.

Ellie: Okay people, let's get down to business. Our third question is: What is Fang's biggest fear? And it CANNOT have anything to do with Max, needles, doctors, lab coats, schools, crates, you get the picture.

Fang: This question isn't fair!

Ellie: Oh Fang. I thought we already went over this. I get to decide what the questions are, and if I want to ask the Flock what your biggest fear is, so help me I WILL!!

Iggy: Wow. You do have anger management problems.

Ellie: Oh pish posh. That is absolute poppycock, utter twaddle speak. You my friend are a wingnut for thinking I have "anger management problems."

Iggy: You're right. I ama wingnut because not only do you have anger management problems, you also are completely crazy.

Ellie: Thank you!

Iggy: It wasn't a compliment.

Max: Can we just get on with the show?

Ellie: Oh, right. The show. Let's get on with it!

(Red Team buzzer sounds)

Ellie: Your answer?

Gazzy: Umm…Is it Max's cooking?

Max: Hey!

Gazzy: Well it's true.

Iggy: Gazzy's right Max. You can take on crazy megalomaniacs and their henchman, you can make all of us shut up by only saying a single word, and you can fly the fastest out of all of us, but the one thing that you absolutely cannot do and will never be able to do is cook.

Max: That's not true! I cooked with Ella and my mom in Mexico and you guys said it was great.

Iggy: But you had help.

Max: Yeah, but-

Ellie: Yeah, but means no! Let's get on with it! Unfortunately Gazzy, that is not the answer. As true as that may be, sorry Max, that answer has to do with Max which is one of our forbidden categories. Blue team?

Nudge: I know! I know! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!

Ellie: How about you Fang?

Fang: I refuse to answer this question.

Nudge: Please pick me! I know the answer! I swear! Pretty please with cherries on top?

Ellie: How about you Angel?

Angel: I'm not sure. I would know if a certain somebody (cough-you-cough) didn't give me this stupid helmet.

Ellie: It's not stupid. It's to prevent cheating.

Nudge: PLEASE pick me!!!!!!!

Ellie: Okay…How about you Nudge?

Nudge: Fang is afraid of icing. The icing they put on birthday cakes! Once we were like at the park and some kid was having a birthday party and they invited us to join them. And they had this HUGE cake with lots of butter cream frosting. It looked so, so good. But Fang didn't want to go over there, and Max listened to him, as usual, so we didn't and that night I heard he and Max talking and he said that he was scared of icing. Isn't that absurd? I mean, who doesn't like icing? Well, I guess it's okay if you don't like icing, I mean, the super sugary kind is sort of gross actually, but who's scared of icing? Well, Fang I guess. But I think it's crazy. What scares him about it anyway? Does he think it's going to like jump out at him or something or-

Ellie: Okay Nudge, we get the picture. And yes, that is correct!

Fang: That is not fair!

Ellie: I thought we already went over this Fang. Whatever I say goes. And why isn't her answer fair? It's right, isn't it?

Fang: No it isn't.

Ellie: Well I guess you wouldn't mind this huge cake drenched in butter cream frosting that a kind fan bought us for the premier of this show. And I guess you wouldn't mind being the one who blows out the candles either. That is, if you're not afraid.

Fang: Of course I'm not. I'm not afraid of anything.

Ellie: Good! Wheel out the cake guys!

(very large cake is wheeled out)

Ellie: Okay. So if you guys could just gather around and let Fang in the center, then we can get this party started.

(Flock moves to center stage, Fang suddenly looks queasy.)

Ellie: Fang, are you all right? You look a little green.

Fang: (gulps) I'm fine. Bring on the frosting.

Ellie: Okay, then blow on the count of three. (turns to audience) Count with me!

Random audience member: We're not on Dora!

Ellie: Do you want to touch Fang's wings?

Same audience member: Fine.

Ellie: Ready?

Everybody: 1…2…3!

(as Fang blows, Ellie pushes Fang into the cake with the help of the flock, minus Max)

Fang: Oh my god! There's frosting all over me! Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff!!!!

(everybody but Fang and Max laughing hysterically)

Ellie: Sheesh Fang. No need to blow a fuse. Besides, I thought that you weren't afraid of frosting.

Fang: Well…

Ellie: It's okay Fang, we accept you for who you are, be you afraid of frosting or not. Right flock?

Max: Right.

Rest of flock: (still laughing hysterically)

(Max gives death glare)

Rest of flock: Umm…right.

Max: That's better.

Fang: Umm…can you get the frosting off me? It's so creepy.

Ellie: Okay Fang. I've had enough fun torturing you….For today.

Fang: Oh great.

(Fang is taken off stage)

Ellie: Okay, not that that's over, we will get back to the show. The Blue Team now leads 3-0. Red Team, this means that you have to answer this question correctly and win the challenge in order to take the lead. Now, the question is how did Fang figure out how to get rid of the Flyboys when Max, Nudge, Angel, and Total were in Germany.

(Blue Team buzzer)

Angel: By using that machine gun he was bragging about as soon as we got back?

Ellie: I'm sorry Angel. That's incorrect. While using the gun did take out a large number of Flyboys, that is not how he managed to kill the rest of them. You have ten seconds to come up with an answer before we pass to the Red Team.

Angel: Okay.

(Nudge and Angel conferring.)

Ellie: Time's up you guys. Do you have an answer?

Nudge: Well we couldn't really remember. I mean, we remember him telling us, and saying that it was awesome and we're pretty sure it had to do with water or gasoline or something. And there was probably a big explosion that made Gazzy and Iggy really happy, and we think that it made him really happy to destroy all of them but we don't really have an answer.

Ellie: You know Nudge, a simple "no" would have sufficed.

Nudge: Well we were just trying to tell you what we were thinking and-

Ellie: Okay Nudge. I get it. Red Team?

Gazzy: Oh it was awesome! So Fang told us to fly out over the ocean and then drop really suddenly. Hitting the water hurt pretty badly, but it was so worth it! Flyboys were short circuiting everywhere, it was amazing!

Iggy: It was so cool! We could feel the electricity in the water, even though we swam pretty far away. It was simply epic.

Max: (under breath) boys…

Ellie: That is correct Red Team! You are finally on the board. If you win the challenge you will take the lead! That's all the time we have for today folks! Next time on Flock Feud we will have our very first challenge. Hopefully Fang will have recovered from his "frosting episode" by then. And I have been told by the producers that our sponsors have a special presentation as well. That should be interesting…Anywho, see you next time on: Flock Feud!

So as I mentioned above, I'm a rather busy person. Just because I haven't updated doesn't mean I don't love you. I truly love every one of my reviewers (just not in a creepy way) I am going to try to update stuff on fanfiction on Fridays or Saturdays. One week will be Flock Feud. Obviously that is this week. Next week I will update Family Affairs (please check it out if you already haven't!), and the week after I will work on the story that I am going to debut on fictionpress soon. I know that seems fairly infrequent but A: I have a life even if it involves a lot of reading novels and fanfiction and B: I want to give fair time to all three of my projects.

So, I'm hoping for ten reviews this chapter. A lofty goal I know, but I believe in most of you. So, please, por favor, sil vous plait, per favore, asseblief, bitte, vinsamlega, os gwelwch yn dda, alsjeblieft, zayt azoy gut review! And yes I did just say please in ten languages. Those languages are: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Afrikaans, German, Icelandic, Welsh, Dutch, and Yiddish!

And check out my profile. There are special instructions and I'll dedicate the next chapter to the first person to follow them.

To sum it up : R&R!!
