This story is neat... 

Uh... Awkward question... Who's still alive?

THE ZOMBIES:

1. Somebody.

2. Cayke.

3. BHR.

4. Misti.

5. Ruby. 

The CBers stayed up much too late, and Axis got up much too early. At five forty, Axis grabbed Indigo's purple MP3 player and slipped into the gym. Sticking the purple earbuds into her ears, she turned the music up loud and started running through her parkour stunts. She backflipped, front flipped, did five or six chinups, ran back and forth along a beam, then tried to run different paths as fast as she could, using the trash cans, benchs, etc. to help her in her path. By now it was almost eight, so she headed back to the CBers' hangout and watched some TV as she waited for everyone else to get up.

Indigo, Teresa, Brain, Icy and Dee Dee got up next. Teresa started foraging for food in the cluttered fridge, Indigo took her MP3 player back, and Icy and Brain chewed up the carpet, and Axis watched TV. Teresa served the CBers who were already up the remains of Breakfast For Dinner. Air, S.E. and Danie were up next. They shouted a bit at Teresa for giving away the only real, Cayke-created food, then each found their own food. Air cooked herself some slightly burnt eggs, S.E. stole Air's eggs and pretended not to have done it so Air had to cook herself some more eggs, and Danie ate Mountain Dew with Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs. Squeak, Masked Piester, Silvery Ink, Shadow Dragon and Brookeira were the last ones to wake. Silvery Ink ate a bottle of ink, Shadow Dragon ate a cow, Brookeira ate Death cereal and milk, Masked Piester ate a pie and some Mountain Dew, and Squeak ate Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.

The Search-and-Rescue group clustered on the sofa, tying up spiked boots and helmets, zipping up jackets and chattering animatedly. Indigo retreated to the bathroom. S.E. attempted to take a shower using bubble bath. Air sat watching TV and brushing her hair. Silvery Ink, Brain, Icy and Dee Dee played tag in the shower, slipping and sliding on bubble bath. Teresa did her morning stretches. Masked Piester was practicing her evil laugh.

Indigo came out of the bathroom wearing a feminine bussiness suit -- sleek dark pants, a white starched blouse, a black jacket with one button buttoned, and a pair of low-cut black boots with a slight heel. 

"Very professional," Teresa commented. "I'm going to try that." She departed to the bathroom as well.

"You can't fight zombies in that," was all Axis said.

Indigo shrugged and left to the Yellow Room.

Dee Dee came racing, slipping and sliding, across the carpet, with Brain in pursuit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hacker Dee slipped and slid on the ice, followed by Nixa. Baelfire was floating just above the ice and was causing it too melt. "I'm sorry, I'll try not too, I just got mad and then..." Baelfire said.

"Just don't do it again," Hacker Dee grunted, trying to pull herself upright. Nixa grasped her arm and they skated across the patch of wet.

Mr. Evanson led several nervous-looking adults into the CBer's lounge room. "These are volunteers to help you in your work," he explained. "How about you test them to see if they meet your aproval?" The CBers nodded.

The Tech Group got eight volunteers, the Search and Rescue group fifteen, and the Debate Group only seven. Each group went to their rooms to test the volunteers.

Brookeira fought each volunteer in hand-to-hand combat, then each volunteer had to race through the parkour city to save a "survivior" which was really a crash test maniquin. Then the Search and Rescue group rated the preformance and decided whether or not they could help. Air (The Tech Group had already tested their volunteers) did commentary.

"Annnnnd Brookeira does a blow to the head! OOOOooo, that's gotta hurt! C'mon, get up! Or not- you're out!"

Meanwhile, the Debate Group was testing thier volunteers. "Argue with me," Indigo said. She then proceeded to smash all arguments with a torrent of logical reasoning and subtle insults.

"Indigo, insults aren't part of debating," Teresa said as she bent over her fifth page of her slide on why Portugal should join them. 

"Awww," Indigo said. She turned to the next volunteer. "Argue with me."

When everyone had been tested, they went back to their jobs. The Search-and-Rescue group left, The Debate Group teleported to various meetings in classy restaurants with presidents, and the Tech Group made some more time-traveling watches.

Ana, one of the volunteers, had gotten the very best restaurant: it was Steampunkian. There was a long metal counter with red leather stools in front of it, brown leather seats curving around black metal tables, a chandelier hanging with diamonds like a spider web hung with morning dew, and a whole bunch of weird contraptions. Ana sat down with eight leaders and opened up her slim red laptop. She showed a chart and explained it, then ordered some coffee for them all. Sipping her coffee, she noted ten pros for each country, then offered the cons for each country if they were left without the help of the nations that had already been united. Finishing her coffee, she tapped one of her red-painted nails to the chart. "So do you accept?"

They all nodded. Ana smiled and had them sign the contracts. Then folding up the contracts and tucking her laptop away, she paid the bill and left.

The other volunteers weren't doing quite so well. Tonya was trying to persuade only three, and had gotten two, but one kept stubbornly saying something in another language. Luckily, Teresa popped into existence and worked her magic. 

Slight error. I'm not a girl. The "Dee" in my username is a reference to an iconic video game enemy.
