So this is how it goes: post one/many/all of your chapter titles here, and comment on the chapter titles of the person above you.
Chapter One: In Which I Find My Milk Missing And My House Invaded
Chapter Two: In Which I Have A History Class Outside Of Class (Or Is It Geography Class?)
Chapter Three: In Which The Last Chapter Continues Directly, I Try To Wave About A Piece Of Metal Perfectly And I Almost Die Gorily
Chapter Four: In Which I Have A Discussion With A Pizza-Obsessed Magician About Ethics And Other Things
Chapter Five: In Which A Lot Of Things Happen: I Go Through A Portal, Eat Nearly Die In A Bathtub, Eat Again, And Talk About The State Of Affairs
Chapter Six: In Which I Brush, Eat (Yes, I Am Doing That Way Too Much), Try To Do Magic, Fail Miserably And Have An ‘Incident’ With A Fruit
Chapter Seven: In Which I Turn Things To Metal, Talk With A Person With Terrible Grammar, Turn Things Back From Metal, Eat (Yes, Again), Talk (Isn’t This Getting Repetitive?) And Nearly Die Again
Chapter Eight: In Which I Wake Up, Sleep Again And Things Happen In Between: Many People Almost Die, Many People Die And A Few People Almost Don’t Die
Chapter Nine: In Which I Appreciate Bikes And Animals, And Talk About Objects (And Runcible Wins A Game Show!) And This Chapter Title Has Two Many And’s!
Chapter Ten: In Which Thendhua Has A Surprise For Us, Thendhua Has A Surprise For Us, And We Interrogate The Captive People From The Society (And Yes, The Repetition Is Intentional)
Chapter Eleven: In Which The Previous Chapter Continues Directly And The Torture Is Explained
Chapter Twelve: In Which Presto, Runcible And I Have A Big Fight, We Interrogate The Captives, And Talk
^where the big fight is a pillow fight. >.>
So, the next person has to comment on my chapter titles (which make an astounding 250ish words all together), and post their own chapter titles.

My favorites of yours:
Chapter One: In Which I Find My Milk Missing And My House Invaded
Chapter Four: In Which I Have A Discussion With A Pizza-Obsessed Magician About Ethics And Other Things
Chapter Five: In Which A Lot Of Things Happen: I Go Through A Portal, Eat Nearly Die In A Bathtub, Eat Again, And Talk About The State Of Affairs
Chapter Six: In Which I Brush, Eat (Yes, I Am Doing That Way Too Much), Try To Do Magic, Fail Miserably And Have An ‘Incident’ With A Fruit
Chapter Eight: In Which I Wake Up, Sleep Again And Things Happen In Between: Many People Almost Die, Many People Die And A Few People Almost Don’t Die
They're amusing in general, but things like 'incident' with a fruit, and pizza-obsessed magicians are especially so.
Here's mine:
Chapter Number One: Concerning Princesses and Peasants
Chapter Number Two: In which Abigail visits the Man In the Wall Who Grants Your Wishes
Chapter Number Three: In which Abigail’s personal furniture and belongings can speak, including her shoelaces, and she and her sister visit the Man In the Wall Who Grants Your Wishes again
Chapter Number Four: In which a cat appears and the two princesses foolishly follow it out of the castle, to be then captured by bandits
Chapter Number Five: In which the bandits get attacked by more bandits
Chapter Number Six: In which Elisa and Abigail meet the mysterious boy
Chapter Number Seven: In which the bandits sack Eddleston and the princesses get away
Chapter Number Eight: In which Elisa and Abigail spend the night with a family of seven cats
(the talking shoelaces, who don't sleep, sing all the verses of 99 bottles of beer on the wall, slightly edited by me so that it has more words, and get interrupted every ten verses or so)
Chapter Number Nine: In which the mysterious boy finds Elisa and Abigail, and they are caught unawares by a giant golden eagle which kidnaps them
Chapter Number Ten: In which they receive a tour of the mountain palace and a new visitor arrives, who turns out to be a complete... well, you know what I mean.
Chapter Number Eleven: In which Eron the bastard son of the Prince of Wales rides dragons... almost.
And that's all I have so far. That's 207 words, but I'm not nearly done yet. Most of them make no sense, or else they are utterly ridiculous anyway. But that's the point, right? Right. I thought so.
And yes, one of my main characters is the bastard son of the Prince of Wales. I was on write or die when I had to invent his backstory off the top of my head, so things got a little strange. Interestingly enough, I'm drinking tea right now called 'Prince of Wales tea.' It's yummy and coincidental.

wow, never thought of using the 99 bottles of beer on the wall! All I ever used was a character singing, "John Jacob Jingle Heimer O'Reilly, his name is my name too!" etc. (John Jacob Jingle Heimer O'Reilly is the name of MC).

These are the chapters that made my friend laugh out loud. The other ones are serious.
Prologue: You Won't Understand this for a While
Chapter...: Lasagna and Why it is Evil
Chapter...: The Chapter Where Plaid Gives a Ridiculously Long Excuse as to Why She Was Late For Class, Which Has a Ridiculously Long Title to Go Along With It. Enjoy.
