"I like your enthusiasm!" Steve smiled as he stepped back to the center of the stage.
The director counted down from three and when he pointed to the stage, the spotlight pointed to to where Steve was to come out and music began playing while the announcer spoke and the crowd cheered, "It's time to play Family Feud! Give it up for your host, Steeevee Harveeeey!"
The crowd roared as Steve walked out, "Welcome to Family Feud, I'm your host Steve Harvey. Returning for the third time is the Wonderland family! And going up against them is the Mills family!"
The camera panned to each side, showing both families as they clapped when they heard their names.
"Let's play Feud! Give me Jafar, give me Rumple!"
As all three men made their way to the two buzzers in the middle of the stage, Rumple deviously smirked and Steve picked up the first card.
"Guys here we go, we've got the top seven answers on the board. Name a reason why Tarzan might wear a black loin cloth."
Rumple immediately pressed the buzzer, "He just went to the bathroom."
Ding.
Rumple's answer appeared on the scoreboard as number two under the title "Hide Skid Marks" and Steve turned to Jafar who replied, "To cover himself."
Ding.
Jafar's answer appeared on the board as number three under the title "Cover Microwang"
The audience clapped and Steve shook his head, "Pass or play?"
"We're going to play, Steve." Rumple said and they made their way back to the Mills family.
Steve walked to Belle, "Well hello Belle, it's nice to meet you. What do you do for a living?"
Belle smiled, "It's nice to meet you too. I'm a librarian in Storybooke, Maine and I'm married to Rumple."
"Oh wow, he's one lucky man. Okay Belle, name a reason Tarzan might wear a black loin cloth."
Belle tucked her hair behind her ear as she thought, "Uhm, to blend in?"
Steve looked back at the board while Rumple clapped, "That was a good answer, sweetheart."
The other family huddled together and started laughing, "Show me 'To blend in' on the board!" Steve called out, only for a big red 'X' to appear instead.
The laughing grew louder and it was as if Cora's better judgement just shut off like a light switch because a sock full of butter flew across the room and hit Jafar in the face, knocking him to the ground.
It got so quiet in the studio that you could hear a pen drop amidst the few gasps from the audience.
Steve's eyes widened and no one moved a muscle.
Cyrus bent down to help him up while everyone else looked at Cora.
Most were furious but Belle had a smirk on her face.
"….We're going to have to take a commercial break everyone. We'll be right back with more Family Feud."
Steve managed to spit out and once the director yelled 'cut' Regina was the first to express herself.
"MOTHER! What in the hell is wrong with you?! We're supposed to be acting like we have common sense!"
Rumple pushed past everyone, teeth grit, "She can't act like it because she doesn't know what it looks like. Dearie, you've just ruined this for all of us. What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Thank you Cora." Belle spoke up before Cora got the chance to defend herself.
Rumple quickly turned on his heel, "What?"
Belle just smiled warmly, "I appreciate you sticking up for me."
Cora had a smug smirk on her face, "You're very welcome, bookworm. It was my pleasure."
Poor Steve was watching in confusion until a stage hand came up and whispered in his ear, causing him to nod a few times and walk closer to Rumple and Cora.
"Apparently, because of your butter sock stunt, more people are tuning in to watch the show. The producers want us to bring a whole new meaning to Family Feud. Would you all be up for it?"
The entire family looked at each other, matching smirks down the line. "
We're up for it." Cora answered.
As Steve went back to the middle of the stage to open the show up again, Cora handed everyone a different weapon; Rumple insisted on using his cane while Belle got a canon to shoot books from. Charming got his infamous sword, Snow got a bow and arrow, Neal and Hook got bats. Regina got a flaming katana, Emma was equipped with a sniper rifle and Henry got a bucket full of butter socks.
"Now…" Cora said as she walked out to the middle of the stage in front of the main cameras, "this," she pointed to both sides of the stage, "is a real Family Feud. Let the fun begin!" She shouted and quickly ran back to her family.
The others weren't expecting a retaliation of this extreme but with a wave of Jafar's staff, they were evenly matched.
"Now wait a damn minute!" Steve shouted. "Let me get off the stage first." He muttered, running off the stage.
The moment he was gone, the battle ensued.
Books, fire, arrows, flaming arrows, and butter socks flew to one side while balloons filled with sand, caterpillar goop, and gems flew across to the other.
The cameras filmed everything and the audience cheered along with who they thought would win.
The producers of the show didn't even cut to commercial break, that's how monumental the fight was.
Twenty minutes later only one family prevailed, ours of course.
Jafar and his clan had to be wheeled out on stretchers, but just as Steve was about to announce the Mills as the winners, police sirens interrupted the show.
"We better go!" Cora panicked, waving her hand and poofing the group home.
"Uh Cora, something tells me we're going to regret that…" Emma warned but was quickly shushed due to the fact that Cora has just gotten an update on her phone that her favorite fan fiction had been updated.
She squealed with glee and ran up to her room, the fight that just happened didn't even phase her.
Regina shook her head and sighed, "I'm going to bed…"
All the guys flopped on the couch to watch the football game while Snow and Belle went off to go shopping.
"Does no one care that we are probably going to have warrants out for our arrest now?!"
Regina grabbed a bottle of wine, pouring a glass before heading upstairs, "Swan, you should get some rest. You have some serious bags under your eyes."
Emma growled, "I swear this family has more issues that can ever be solved…"
