The Quiz Bowl

'Don't ride the riptide.'

Episode 2

Let the Games Begin

The lights came up, the audience began to cheer, and the theme song began to play for Quiz bowl. Tyler and Latrina stepped out from behind the curtain, smiling, as they walked up onto the stage and took a quick bow. They then began motioning for the audience to settle down. Once they had achieved this, Tyler opened the show. "Good evening, everyone here and home! It's time once again, for EVERYONE'S new favorite game show! The Quiz Bowl!" The audience was cued to shout the catchphrase, as well as the alternate title, "DON'T RIDE THE RIPTIDE!!!" Latrina chuckled. "Heh-heh! Yeah, yeah, whatever. Don't ride the riptide. Anyway, without further ado, let's welcome tonight's vic-... Er.. Newcomers!" she waved her blue paw towards the two seated furs, one of which was the winner from before, known as Yellow the Yoshi. The other, was a white Pegasus Clydesdale, who was wearing a pair of jeans and a collared blue shirt who waved politely. "Here they are! Our victoriously returning contestant, is Yellow the Yoshi! And joining him from Tycho city, Skylar Wings!" Skylar and Yellow both waived again. Skylar looked at the audience, and gave them a 'cool wink', making them scream with excitement. Yellow on the other hand, balanced on the rim of his seat, and waved with both hands, shouting "Hiiiii!" to his loved ones, who surprisingly showed up tonight.

Latrina chuckled. "Hehe! I see you are both eager to go, so let's begin. Tyler, give them some categories, please!" Tyler nodded and pushed the button to display the categories on the screen, as well as point options. "First up... We have 'Potty Time', 'Water, water, everywhere', 'Glurg, glurg, glurg...', and finally, there is 'How many flushes?' So, are we ready to begin?" Both contestants signaled their readiness, and Latrina hopped up on her stool next to Tyler. "Then let's begin. Yellow, you won yesterday, so you go first, hehehe..." she giggled.

Yellow looked at all the categories. "I'll take... 'Water, water, everywhere' for four points". Tyler hit the button "For the four points, tell us how much water you can drink without needing to pee... And then prove it!" Yellow looked up with goggle eyes, and knowing how much a Yoshi can take in, he triumphantly said "I can take at least fifty gallons, without a single need to tinkle!" he laughed with a smile. Tyler said "Well then, it time to prove it" A tube came down filled with fifty gallons, and tapered at one end like a hamster's drinking spout. Yellow shrugged and put his lips to it, feeling the sudden pressure of the fifty gallons begin to glug into him. He managed to take it all, pretty much flawlessly, but he had forgotten one thing; He had drunk quite a bit of fruit juice earlier that morning, and this fifty gallons was going to push him over the top! He had reached the 49th gallon, when suddenly, his bladder overfilled with water, broke free. He felt himself spraying pee into the toilet bowl seat below him. His cheeks turned a deep crimson at his embarrassment, and the tube filled with water disappeared into the rafters, as Latrina took over. "Ooooooh... Looks like you can't hold your water, Yellow... That means you lose the four points, putting you at a negative four! Skylar, it's your turn now." Skylar looked up at the categories and his eyes lit up. "I want 'how many flushes', for four points!"

Tyler went ahead and activated the question. "Alright. In this category, you will be shown a picture or series, depending on the question. Your job, is to figure out how many flushes it would take, to go down a common household toilet. Are you ready?" Skylar nodded. "Then let's go ahead!" He pushed the button, and the screen lit up with a picture of a meatloaf. "Okay Skylar, how many flushes would it take to send that down the porcelain throne?" Skylar looked over it and chuckled in a curious way. "I know the answer, since most meatloaves are like my loafs... That would take about 16 to 18 flushes, depending on dryness." Tyler looked down at his card, and smiled. "You are absolutely correct! It would take sixteen flushes to get rid of a meatloaf, so you earn all four points. Yellow, we are coming back at you. What is your choice?"

Yellow looked at the board, and finally settled on 'Potty time' category for four points. Latrina activated the question, and asked "If you eat fifty freeze dried meals, and ingest the water required to rehydrate them, exactly how long should you expect to spend in the bathroom when it is eventually time to go? And for an extra bonus point, how many flushes would you need?" Yellow pondered for a few minutes, counted on his fingers several times, and then guessed. "I would have to say about nine hours--" he was interrupted, by his girlfriend Pink, sitting in the audience. "Yellow, sweetie, you only have eight fingers!" she giggled. Yellow face palmed, and laughed, giving her a thumbs up. "Hehe, yeah, I do!" he blew a kiss to her. "Anyway, my answer, is nine hours, and approximately fifty-four flushes... Right?" Latrina nodded "Yup! And congrats! You are back on the board, with one point to Skylar's four. And now, it's the big guys turn again."

While Skylar was taking his time picking out the question, he wanted techs up in the sound booth to treat the audience to a surprise. Volsar, owner of the studio, had quietly let himself in to see all the fun going on. "Have they gone over Aleck, yet?" One of the technicians shook his head to reply no. "Then I think you need to ping them to do so. After all, if that delicious wolf doesn't redeem himself, it would a be of great shame... Especially to my waistline." The techs looked uneasy at the idea their boss had just put forth, but for pragmatisms sake, they ignored it and just went back to work. One got on to the buds that Tyler and Latrina were wearing, and relayed to them what Volsar had requested. Latrina took on the happy task of reviewing Aleck.

"Hey, guys! While Skylar makes his choice, let's take a look at our last show's loser, who is swimming in the big bowl." the camera panned over, and Aleck, who was soaking wet but had been provided with a bathing suit, swam in the big transparent toilet. He waved politely, then went back to treading water. Volsar drooled slightly at the sight of Aleck. But for his own dignity, he wiped his mouth and nodded. "Good, good. Don't forget to deliver the rating data up to me, with the commercials who used data for my notes!" He slipped out the door, and headed back up to his office to see a waiting guest from the mailroom who had come up earlier.

Back on the set, Skylar had finally made his choice. "I want 'glurg glurg glurg' for four points!" Latrina pushed the activator and read the question to him. "Here is your question! We have polled plumbers, and totaled what they believe are the worst clogs in bathroom appliances. So for four points, tell me. What is the worst clog that can be found in your shower?" Skylar paused for a few minutes, and then finally said "I know this one from experience. Mostly because of a former boyfriend, who was a pure horse, had a cummy hair clog. That has to be the worst thing to clog the pipes." "Right again! You are now up to eight points! Does Yellow even have a chance to catch up?!" Latrina asked the crowd. "Let's see if Yellow can keep himself above the bowl. Yellow it's your question!" Yellow looked at the board and shivered. "I guess I'll take 'Potty Time', for three points... Please?"

Tyler smirked. "Sure thing." At the press of his button, the question appeared, and it read... "In a specific TV show, there was a number of mishaps, flushes, and farts. But in a specific episode, during a musical, a character was flushed. Do you, Yellow, know who the character is?" Yellow looked a bit confused. He bit the tips of his fingers. "Gah, I don't think I know this one..." he whispered to himself. Latrina overheard, and being his family's pet, she showed a little mercy. "Yellow, because you tried proving yourself earlier of your fifty gallon bladder, we've decided to let you risk calling a buddy from your lifeline. Who would you want to call?" Yellow pondered for a few minutes before finally saying "I want to call on my girl Pink, because she may be fond of toilets enough... That means she remembers things like this more than I do!" Latrina got things rolling.

"Okay, its ringing." she said, as the studio was filled with the sound of a phone ringing, then the click of a pickup. "Hello?" a voice asked. "This is Latrina! Heeeey!" she looked into the audience and waved to Pink. "You got called, because Yellow needs some help. And he decided, he needed you for his toilet paper lifeline!" she said. "I am going to hand it over to Yellow and have him explain. You have a minute to help him answer the question. Ready? Aaaaaand... Go!!" She let Yellow layout his problem to Pink, who listened and only giggled once at the content. "Honestly, I don't have a clue, boo. You know that my knowledge about toilets is limited! But I see that I should really help you with this problem... My best guess is... Family guy? I forgot who--" Shortly after, the phone clicked out. Yellow looked over to Latrina and looked terrified, "I don't really know what to go with... I guess I can only go with what she said. Is it Stewie from Family Guy?"

Latrina looked over the answer card. "Correct! And that puts you at five points, to Skylar's eight. Back over to you, Sky!" Skylar looked up and said, "Now, I would like 'how many flushes' for two points, Latrina!" Latrina pushed the button, and the board flipped up showing the next question. The board was displaying three pots of a heavy meat based stew. "Okay Skylar, for two points, how many flushes would it take to send all three pots down the pot at the same time? Teehee... You like these questions, don't you?" she giggled as she asked the questions. Skylar looked up at the picture took notice of all of the ingredients and finally said "Of course I do. Anyways... My best estimate is 8 to 12." Latrina read off the card, "You are in even more luck! We have a video to go along with this one!" she pushed the display button on her console and the screens changed to the image of a rhino in a bathroom, emptying the three pots of stew into the toilet. He then reached for the handle and flushed, and flushed and flushed and flushed, until he had indeed gone 8 times flushing, and most all of the stew had been sucked down the toilet bowl. He had to empty one of the pots one last time, and it did indeed take 12 flushes to send it all down. "Well Skylar, it looks like you get your two points, and you win this round. That means..." she paused and looked over to Yellow. "Sorry, Yellow... You're going to take a ride down the pipes, hehehe!" Latrina chuckled as she smashed the big flush button. Yellow Looked towards the crowd. "Agh! But I'm hungry!" Yellow was sucked down his contestant chair and through the pipes, to splash into the big bowl, with Aleck.

Meanwhile up in his executive bathroom, Volsar was watching the show as it progressed on. When Yellow got flushed around and wound up in the bowl with Aleck, he paused and whispered. "And then there were two..." It would have been more impressive, if not for the squeals for the micros in the toilet below him. He gave a rather loud fart and called down to them. "Shut up, or I'll leave you in there, and go have some Thai food." The squealing lessened, but didn't quiet them down at all. He unpaused the show and was getting into the final moments playful banter, when there came a knock at the door. Sighing, Volsar got up to unlock the bathroom door and deal with the uninvited guest. "I told Alyssa not to let anyone in--... Oh wait, Alyssa is over in the toilet. Well what do you want?" he said as he opened the door and found one of the techs from earlier standing there. "Oh it's you. Let me guess, you brought me the data folder, right?" the tech said nothing, but nodded politely and pointed behind him. "I left it on your desk, sir. I just wanted to let you know that it was there." He said and moved to leave Volsar to his privacy. Volsar grabbed him with his powers and spun him around. "Just where do you think you are going? You have seen far too much, or at least, heard about it. Now let's see if we can't do a little something about this..." Volsar remembered his promise to the micros swimming in the murk in the toilet, and smiled evilly as he forced the tech to change into a bowl of Kaeng Khae, with extra curry and spicy peppers, and dug in. He emptied the bowl quickly, and was burping gently with a gurgly belly, when another knock on the door led to another tech. "Sorry sir, my friend forgot the commercial data for you. Uhh... Have you seen him?" Volsar never wanted to miss an opportunity. He shrunk the poor guy and added him to a dish of ice cream, devouring him rapidly. The curry and peppers did as he had expected and soon the Abra found himself advancing into the bathroom, taking his spot on the throne once again, letting loose and covering the micros in tons of hot gloppy scat. Volsar just kept letting it all flow free adding to his early load, and covering the ten or so micros he had 'played with' earlier. He was letting so much out at one time, he actually felt a small amount of pain as well.

He ended his trip soon, by emptying lots of urine onto to the micros, which was of only a small relief to flow free. Then he grabbed some of the high quality paper, wiped several sheets over his big Abra butt, before standing over the bowl and looking down with a leering look. "Goodbye, you little shits... Hehehnahahaha!" he laughed. He then grabbed the handle and flushed, sending the entire mess spiraling down and away.
