The setting takes places when 9-Volt goes to high school.

At home, 9-Volt had got the ending for playing Wario Land 3 at night, he quietly exclaimed, "Yes! I've finished the game!". He went to sleep before his mom finds out about him playing at night time.

His mom checks in and said, "GO. TO. SLEEP.". 5-Volt was definitely aware of his son behavior. She strictly doesn't approved him staying up late at night playing video games.

At lunchtime in Diamond Academy, 9-Volt was having a conversation with 18-Volt about the finished game of Wario Land 3.

"So I finished it last night and I've gotten 100% playthrough in one whole month! It was rough, but it was worth it.", responded 9-Volt.

"Nice work man!", exclaimed 18-Volt.

"Thanks. Now...maybe it's time for me to find another game to play with. I mean, I do really like my part time job as a game developer in WarioWare Inc. What other games do you think I should play?", asked 9-Volt.

18-Volt thought about it for a moment and said, "I got an idea. I dare you to play Wario Land 4 in one week...play it on hard and super hard difficulty on separate files…".

9-Volt eye's widen and he was being surprised. "Whoa...Why do I have to do that dare?", asked 9-Volt.

"Because...I want you to be the best gamer who plays hard and works hard in school. I wanted to be impressed by it. I will pay you about...300 coins to play it and finish it in a week.", offered 18-Volt.

9-Volt was surprised about the offer and says, "Okay! It's a deal! You want Wario Land 4? I'll play Wario Land 4 on hard and super hard!".

"Alright man! Just one more thing though…", trailed off 18-Volt.

"What is it 18-Volt?", asked 9-Volt.

"Well...since you've told me that you've gone through a 100% playthrough on Wario Land 3, I decided to add more dare for Wario Land 4. Not only I dare you to do hard and super hard on separate difficulty with separate files, but I also dare you to collect all the CDs and unlock a karaoke on BOTH difficulties. I know you can do it! Please do it! I'll give you...500 coins to do it and another week to do it!", requested 18-Volt.

9-Volt was worried that he wouldn't be able to get through due to having homework that he had to finish if he played Wario Land 4, but he was willing to get 500 coins from 18-Volt due to being paid less from Wario when working as a part time job in WarioWare Inc and having 2 weeks for the sake of homework. "Sure! I'll playthrough the whole game 100% on both difficulties!", exclaimed 9-Volt.

"That's great man! Now it's time for class.", said 18-Volt and they went to class.

After they got out of school, 9-Volt and 18-Volt goes to work at WarioWare Inc. where they're developing a new game.

At break time, 9-Volt and the guys were eating lunch when suddenly, they overheard the conversation from another table.

"Um...Penny...Kat...and Ana...I want you guys to be in my sleepover...if you want…", asked Ashley.

"Wow! That's exciting Ashley! Why exactly do you want to host a sleepover?", asked Penny.

"Um...I wanted to be closer to you guys…", trailed off Ashley.

"Okay...I got another question. Why aren't you inviting boys?", asked Ana.

"I want my sleepover to be girls only...with the exception of Red that is.", answered Ashley.

"That's nice. At least we could possibly share secrets to each other, girls only.", said Kat confidentially.

While the girls were talking about the sleepover, 18-Volt leans in and quietly said, "Did you hear about the sleepover that Ashley's having and it's girls only?".

"Ooh, it's going to be so nice…", thought 9-Volt. Just thinking about it makes 9-Volt drool.

"You really like seeing girls...don't you?", asked 18-Volt.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Sure. I'm fine. So...that's an interesting idea for Ashley. She's usually a loner who likes to do witchcraft, but wow...she just invited a sleepover...for girls only…", trailed off 9-Volt.

"Yeah, I'm sorry that you guys aren't invited.", said Red.

9-Volt and 18-Volt were startled and they turned to Red. "Yeah...you guys aren't invited by Ashley so don't come to her house or call her this Saturday. If you need anything from her, ask her now, Friday, or Sunday. Okay? Good.", said Red and he left the table.

18-Volt got an idea and whispered, "Hey 9-Volt. Do you want to go spy on their sleepover this Saturday? We won't get caught if you're there to help me escape and in exchange, we can do it the other way around where I would help you escape if you're caught. How that's for an idea?".

9-Volt thought about it and in response, he whispered, "That's a good idea, but I'm not able to go spying for three reasons. One, since you dared me to play Wario Land 4 with a 100% playthrough on both difficulties in both files, I'm gonna need to use my time to finish it. Second, I have a lot of homework from other classes so I need to use that time too. Third, my mom is a houseworker and you know how my mom stays up late at night just to catch me playing games at night.".

18-Volt is disappointed, but understood the situation that 9-Volt is having. "Okay…", trailed off 18-Volt disappointedly and they went back to work in WarioWare Inc.

9-Volt thought, "Hmm...while 18-Volt's idea does sound good, there is a higher chances of being caught if I go with 18-Volt...I can't let myself get punished if I'm caught. Besides, spying at the girls just to see their sexy bodies is so hot! And hearing their embarrassment and secrets could be funny...or something erotic…".

When work is done, 9-Volt goes home and at home, 9-Volt was doing homework just to make sure that he got his assignment done in the evening. When he's done doing homework, 9-Volt plans the whole idea of spying the girl's sleepover in Ashley's house.

"There! That's a perfect plan! So...what do you think of that idea Fronk?", asked 9-Volt.

Fronk looked a bit worried and respond with Fronk's head shaking left and right.

"Yeah...I know that the plan has flaws but, I'll never know if don't try it out...", said 9-Volt.

Then, his mom came into the room and said, "9-Volt. It's time for you time to go to bed. I'm serious. Please...make sure you finish your homework before going to bed, okay?".

"I still have 'homework' but okay, I will go to bed when I'm done.", responded 9-Volt.

"Right…", trailed off 5-Volt and she plans to stay up all night just to catch 9-Volt playing his game at night again.

9-Volt continues to plan throughout the night until he perfected it. When he's perfecting his plan, he was going to bed and gets out his Game Boy Advance and plays Wario Land 4 throughout the night while trying to hide it when his mom check him out the whole night. 9-Volt didn't go to sleep that whole night.

The next day, 9-Volt is still playing Wario Land 4 on the breakfast table on a Friday. He seems to get used to hiding his game when his mom is around.

"I hope you weren't playing video games at night because I took your Nintendo 3DS on Wednesday...you'll have it back on Saturday Morning.", said 5-Volt with skepticism.

"Don't worry mom, I didn't play any games last night. I was up studying for today's test and finishing up homework.", responded 9-Volt.

"Okay…", trailed off 5-Volt. When 9-Volt is done eating breakfast, he paused Wario Land 4 game and gets to school.

9-Volt gets into his math class and he thought, "If the math teacher isn't paying attention to us today, I'll play Wario Land 4 without him knowing…".

The bell ringed and the math teacher says, "Okay everyone, here's what are we learning today: Graph theory. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…". 9-Volt is already bored and wants to play Wario Land 4.

When the math teacher is too busy writing the problems down on the board, 9-Volt takes out his GBA and continues to play Wario Land 4. When the teacher is done writing problems on the board, 9-Volt had to make his own short version of the problem in his graphing notebook.

While he's writing down the problem, he got an idea. "Hmm...Ashley's house has how many stories tall? 2 stories? 3 stories? If I draw a house blueprint on my graph notebook...maybe I'll know where to hide when they're trying to look for me!", thought 9-Volt and he's really happy about the idea.

"Mr. 9-Volt? Is there an answer for this problem?", asked the math teacher.

"Um…", said 9-Volt and he gave an estimated an answer to the math teacher.

"That's incorrect. Anybody else got the answer?", asked the math teacher.

"Phew! What else should I do during lunch...I got it! If I want my mom out of the house on Saturday, I will make sure that she got the letter from someone else inviting her over her for some time! And if my mom hires a babysitter, I will plan ahead just in case if that happens.", thought 9-Volt. 9-Volt was done planning for now and he plays Wario Land 4. He to switch classes with everyone inside the school.

In Language Arts, 9-Volt wasn't able to play Wario Land 4 at any time, but did have another idea. "Hm...If I wanted to hide somewhere where I wasn't able to camoflauge...I will have to hide in something...maybe in a cardboard box?", thought 9-Volt.

In history class, 9-Volt is taking a test about the cold war with his classmates. When he's done taking the test, he gets out his GBA and plays Wario Land 4. He was able to get through the 1st non-tutorial boss in hard difficulty. Fortunately for him, the history teacher is sleeping instead of doing the grading for other students.

At lunchtime, he went to the art room and the art teacher asks, "Hey 9-Volt, how are you doing today?".

"I'm fine, thanks.", answered 9-Volt. "Do you have a pink construction paper that has the size of a regular paper?", asked 9-Volt.

"Sure.", answered the art teacher and she goes to get it. When she got a pink construction paper and gave it to 9-Volt, she asks, "Can I ask why do you need it?".

"Um...I rather not tell you...but can you get me a rubber stamp that implies Princess Peach or one of the officials from the Mushroom Kingdom?", asked 9-Volt.

The art teacher was nervous and said, "Um...I'll go see if I have any…", and she runs to get it. She wasn't comfortable of anyone writing a fake letter to somebody else but was willing to do her job of being an art teacher anyway.

9-Volt starts writing a fake letter from Princess Peach to his mom.

When she got the stamp, she says, "Here you go...I got it from the office and they have a rubber stamp that was meant for greetings in the Mushroom Kingdom when travelers came by.", explained the art teacher.

"Thank you...um...I hate to ask you for more...but can you go get me a mail stamp, an envelope, and a sticky note?", asked 9-Volt.

She was surprised about the request. "Um...who are you writing to?", asked the art teacher.

"Just writing to one of my friends.", said 9-Volt. "I want them to at least feel special from me because one of my friends is depressed.", explained 9-Volt.

The art teacher believes in him and nodded. 9-Volt was done writing a fake letter from Princess Peach and he put a rubber stamp on it. Then, he fold his fake letter and puts it in an envelope and seals it. Then, he turned the envelope and write down Princess Peach's address on the top left and his address on the middle of the envelope. Finally, he puts a stamp on his envelope.

"Okay...now to write a fake doctor note...what is my excuse…?", thought 9-Volt and he tries to think of an excuse.

Will 9-Volt think of an excuse to leave class? Or will he simply just ditch school? What happens if 5-Volt find out? Tune in next time for more chapters of "9-Volt and the Sleepover Spies".
