Well, I promised a sequel to 'Times Square Takeover' and I'm gonna deliver! Welcome Back To New York, everyone! As always, NONE of what you see here is mine, I'm simply borrowing it for the story. ROLL IT!

(Otto's POV)

Otto's log...Guess where we are again! The Crossroads of the World - Times Square in New York! The crew is back for another go at the biggest party on the planet! Of course we got my sister Reggie; my best bro Twister; Sam, the inventive one; Trish - Ms. Cool and Collective (she's also Sam's girlfriend, by the way), and my lovely girlfriend Clio. Awkwardness - Still putting a MAJOR CHECK-MARK next to that one! So, here's a little recap on what's gone down since we were here last year:

I got my driver's license and I have my first car - a 2008 Pontiac G6...I kinda tricked it out a little, to the way I'd like my dream car to be...

Reggie turned 17 and is already freaking out about college. Rocket Girl, college is still a year away. You got time! Don't stress out, sis!

Twist got to work on the new 'Avengers' movie - 'Avengers: Infinity War'...but that ain't coming out until May of 2018. He's still freaking out that he got to work with a legend in Joss Whedon.

Sam's been working with Bill Nye the Science Guy on helping him fulfill his vision - a more environmentally-friendly world. Lucky...Bill Nye was the scientific voice of our childhoods!

As for Trish and Clio - they're the ones responsible for the lineup tonight here in New York. Listen to this list - Silento, Gloria Estefan, Gavin Degraw, DNCE, Thomas Rhett, Mariah Carey just before midnight...and Rachel Platten comes on with her hits 'Fight Song', 'Stand By You' and a live performance of 'Imagine' before the ball drops! Oh, and get this...No Worries is leading things off with a tribute to Prince! How cool is that? Sam helped out with the rest of the 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' lineup - Lionel Richie partying 'All Night Long' in Las Vegas, Panic! At The Disco and Jason Derulo in New Orleans; Fifth Harmony, Lukas Graham checks in with '7 Years', Shawn Mendes going to 'Treat You Better', Emeli Sande, Mike Posner with his hit 'I Took A Pill In Ibiza', Bebe Rexha, John Legend has 'All of Me', Hailee Stienfeld with 'Starving', Alessia Cara with her 'Wild Things' letting us know she's 'Here' and Flo Rida out in Hollywood with Demi Lovato in St. Maarten. I can already tell that Reg, Clio and Trish are going ballistic. Chill, girls. I already have the ABC app set up. You can watch the show on my iPad. 'I am such a giver', I tell myself.

Oh, did I forget to mention that we found a show to replace 'Phineas and Ferb'? Well, we did and it's by the same duo that made 'Phineas and Ferb'! It's called 'Milo Murphy's Law'. It's about the fictional ancestor of the original Murphy from Murphy's law. Anything that can go wrong, goes wrong around him. The title character is played by none other than Weird Al Yankovic (who also sings the theme song) and there may just be a crossover with 'Phineas and Ferb'!

Chill, Rocket Boy. You're getting ahead of yourself here. Now to check in with Uncle Ryan and we can get things rolling tonight.

(12 PM)

(Twister's POV)

Crowds are filing in, the Pepsi Zero Sugar countdown clock is off and running on the ABC SuperSign, we're all checked in with Ryan Seacrest at Times Square Studios, all decked out in our 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' gear...just about ready to go. Oh, don't tell me, Otto-man...our girls are trying to seduce us again?

(Otto's POV)

Afraid so, Twist. You gotta admit...we scored big time.

(Twister's POV)

We sure did, Otto-man. We sure did.

(General POV)

And indeed Reggie and Clio were trying to put the moves on Twister and Otto! Reggie was dressed like Taylor Swift when she was here to ring in 2015 - black sequined bra, silver jacket, black leather pants and black combat boots. Clio was also channeling Taylor Swift, but from her 'New Year's Rockin' Eve 2013' performance - red sequined jacket, black leather pants and black combat boots. Needless to say - Twister and Otto were stunned!

(Reggie's POV)

Looks like Clio and I have been taking fashion tips from T-Swift...with a little help from Jenny McCarthy and Fergie because our boys are frozen again, just like last year! I've said it before and I'll say it again - can Clio and I help it if we're hot? "Eyes front, Twist," I say as I catch Twister looking at my chest. In case you were wondering...yes, Otto was doing the same to Clio.

(Clio's POV)

"Otto, my eyes are up here, love," I say to my boyfriend. I caught him looking at my breasts for the first time since we started dating. Why'd it have to be tonight of all nights? Otto and Twister, they're cute and lovable...but they're such dorks!

(Reggie's POV)

Yes, but they're our dorks, Clio. And we're lucky to have them.

I teased this through the final 2 chapters of the original and now it's here! The Rocket Gang is back in New York to ring in 2017! Craziness...will...ensue! STAY TUNED!
