AN: Set in the episode "Bully 4 U", in the middle of the conversation about what Buzz should do about his bully. Also, don't own anything you recognize, but I do own Caruso's idea.
Caruso silently watched as Roger used the two dinosaur toys to confuse Buzz even more than he already was.
Sure Buzz wasn't as beautiful as him, hardly anyone was, but given enough time he could at least make him a little above average. Of course, his friends wanted this problem solved soon, and it would take at least a week to change the green-haired weirdo into a Casanova like himself...
Hm. So making Buzz un-bully-able that way was out... what other way was there?
He stood silently, hand to his chin in a thinking pose that accented his fabulous hair.
Caruso cast his eyes about the room. Fiona wasn't bullied because she was a girl, and normal. Buzz couldn't use that. Roger wasn't bullied because he was a genius, which Buzz also couldn't be. Max wasn't because he was a football star...
That was it!
Not football of course, Caruso doubted the noodle-armed Buzz would last five minutes in a real game, but the idea of being so impressive that he was beyond a bullie's reach...
"Guys, I've got it!" Caruso excitedly cut in, not caring that he had just stolen all attention from Fiona. That didn't matter; his idea was probably better than hers anyway. "Buzz doesn't have to go dino on him, we can!"
He was met with incredulous stares.
"No, listen!" He continued when Fiona made to open her mouth. "We'll all get out of school early somehow, and then we'll wait for this bully to come out. When he does, we'll all come out of the forest in dino mode except for Buzz; he'll be human. Oh! And he can ride Max! Buzz riding a T-rex!"
The others watched in stunned silence as Caruso laid out his plan, not quite sure what to make of it. Ridiculous as it sounded, it was also enticingly funny...
"But he can't just look like his normal self," Caruso mused, not even looking at his friends anymore. "Should we go medieval, or tribal?" He glanced at his green-haired classmate out of the corner of his eye, "tribal," he decided immediately, nodding to himself as if to confirm. "We'll need a spear."
An image of Buzz, two stripes of warpaint under his left eye, spear raised valiantly above his head and his mouth opened in a silent warcry, green mohawk blowing majestically in the wind, seated upon a roaring t-rex entered their minds unbidden.
It was very tempting.
But then Fiona and Roger just had to go and be logical.
"We can't do that!" Fiona snapped once her mind had managed to process the entirety of that stupid idea."First of all, we can't come out of the woods; our school isn't even near the woods!"
"That's your problem?" Roger asked incredulously. "Not that he wants us to go dino in the middle of the day just to scare some guy?!"
"Roger's right," Max agreed a bit reluctantly. "The right way to deal with this would to be the bigger man and not respond..."
Buzz and Max shared a sidelong look. Yeah, it was wrong... but it would also be unbelievably hilarious.
Maybe it they did it later in the day, when less people were around...
