I've been writing FOB and MCR stories (mostly MCR), so I'm completing it with Fever-era Panic!, basing it somewhat off my scenario a few days ago.  Please don't hate on Brendon, thank you :) (Also HOLY CHEEZ WHIZ 1k READS?!)

The lights flickered... and then went out.

"Ok, who forgot to pay the power bill?" Ryan asked. 

"Jon!" Brendon answered.

"Why me?" Jon asked, sounding hurt.  "I'm broke."

"Because I spun the Wheel of Fate and it landed on you," Brendon said.  "Whoever the Wheel lands on has to do the next thing to be done, whether it's taking out the trash, spiking the punch, or in this case, paying the power bill."

"I'll pay for it," Spencer offered.

"Guys! Let's stop arguing over who'll pay the bill, and just PAY IT," Ryan interrupted.  There was a long pause, so long that a cricket would have chirped, if there had been a cricket in the house or outside it. 

"Are we seriously ALL broke?" Ryan cried, breaking the silence. 

"Yep," Jon, Brendon, and Spencer said simultaneously.  Then, the holy sound of Ryan Ross facepalming.


"Why don't we ask Pete and Fall Out Boy if we can borrow some money?" Spencer suggested. 

"OR Brendon continues working at Tropical Smoothie Cafe to pay our bills," Ryan added. 

"I'd love to, but one problem: Tropical Smoothie probably lost power too," Brendon reasoned.  "So we have no way to earn money, which means no paying this bill anytime soon."

"I can't stand this.  I'm gonna talk to the power company," Jon cried, heading towards the door.  As soon as he opened it, a shower of wet leaves blew into his face, and he stumbled back, shutting the door.  "A hurricane? IN CALIFORNIA?! Well... I guess it COULD happen."

"HEY HEY, WE ARE A HURRICANE--" Brendon sang, then broke off.  "Whoa, that could be a good song lyric!"

Spencer shook his head.  "Nah.  It's not about dating girls."

"Guess we're stuck here until the power comes back," Ryan sighed, collapsing onto the couch.

"Yup," Brendon agreed, plopping down beside him. 

"WHO WANTS BOARD GAMES?!" Jon cried enthusiastically.  He was carrying an armful of various board games in boxes.

Just then, the lights flickered on.

"ALL YOU SINNERS STAND UP SING HALLELUJAH!!" Brendon cheered. 

"YESSS!" Ryan and Spencer cried.  Spencer sideslammed into Jon in his joy, knocking the board  games out of his hands. 

"Aww, cmon!" Jon cried.

Suddenly, the lights flickered again... and went out.

"AWW CMON!!" 

"WHO WANTS BOARD GAMES!?!?"
