Bucky and I are hosting the Zombietown Summer Festival of Eating. Zed and Addison are competing against two other teams. I hope Bucky doesn't make her mad because I'll make fun of him if he does it.

"Hello, everybody! I'm your host, multi-hyphenate talent Bucky." said Bucky, making his entrance.

"And I'm his co-host, Callie. We'd like to welcome you to the "Zombietown Summer Festival of Eating." I said, nicely.

"Not Humans or Brains or Anything. Just Regular Food" official barbecue contest."

"I love regular food!" said a zombie man, excitedly.

"Let's welcome team number one, Addison and Zed!" I said, walking over to them with Bucky.

"We will be making grilled pizza," said Zed.

"This is dough made with starter passed down to me and Callie from our alien grandmother. Who knows what secrets it contains?" said Addison.

"So, ordinary pizza made from old dough!" said Bucky.

"Hey!" I said, glaring at him with Addison and Zed.

"On to team number two, Willa and Wynter, who seem to think that they're in a very different contest." We walked over to their area to see them digging a hole in the ground.

"We're digging a fire pit so we can cook the ultimate werewolf delicacy." said Willa, explaining it to us.

"A whole sasquatch!" said Wynter.

They then howled together.

"Bold. Dramatic. Terrifying." said Bucky.

"And onto team number three, A-Spen and Eliza!" I said, happily.

"We have downloaded all of the "not humans or brains, just regular barbecue" recipes, and instead of choosing, we built a machine that can make it all." said A-Spen.

"All you can eat," said Eliza. They made a machine that can cook anything. How can anyone beat that?

************************************************
Zed realizes that they have no chance of winning the contest after looking at what the other teams had in mind.

"Trust me, Zed, these pizzas are gonna be amazing," said Addison.

"Yeah, no, I know. It's just we're going up against a Sasquatch and every barbecue food ever created." said Zed, anxiously. "We need to think bigger."

"You mean like pesto?"

"No. I mean like this! Ta-da!" He pulls out a bottle of lime soda.

"Isn't that the exact type of soda that caused the zombie apocalypse?"

"Desperate times call for desperate measures." The lime soda gets poured into a pizza that was grilling in the grill.

"Zed!"

"Honestly, now that the adrenaline's worn off, I'm not even sure what I was going for."

"What are we gonna do?" She accidentally electrocuted the pizza, which turned it into a monster.

"Okay, that's something."

The monster moans.

"Oh, look, it's got a mouth now."

"Look out!" said Addison, pulling him from their station.

The monster moans a second time and starts wreaking havoc.

"Our barbecue!" said Eliza and A-Spen, anxiously.

"We have to stop it!"

"How do you stop a giant blob of dough filled with meat?" said Zed, asking her.

"We built a machine that can make it all, make it all, make it all..."  They came up with a plan to defeat the monster.

"Hey! Dough bro!" said Addison.

"Come and get it!" said Zed.

The monster roared, heading towards them.

"Kerwhack!" They whacked it into the pit.

Eliza and A-Spen threw the remnants of their machine on top of it.

The monster strains while the machine gets hot.

"Everyone should look away now," said A-Spen, warning us.

We looked away as the explosion happened in the pit.

"Is it over? Did we beat it?" I said, curiously.

"Does anyone smell something heavenly?" said Bucky.

Coach ate some of the pizza and gave it a ribbon. "First prize!"

"Wow! That has to be the first time the winning chef was also the winning food!"

"Actually, when zombies were still eating people, supposedly there was this guy—" said Zed.

We looked behind him to see the Sasquatch. Willa and Wynter were trying to cook him earlier.

"Hey, is this the barbecue party? Willa invited me." said the Sasquatch, asking us. "So, what are we eating?"

Willa and Wynter have nervous looks on their faces alongside the rest of us. What were they thinking? They should've cooked something normal instead of a Sasquatch. At least, the other teams had a chance to win. Never cook a Sasquatch.
