Twenty-one years after the events of the 1997 movie, a certain fast food restaurant known for its "good burgers", secret sauce, and of course, the witty cashier named Ed who would say his famous catchphrase "Welcome to Good Burger, Home of the Good Burger. Can I take your order?" is now a multi-national fast food monopoly with franchises all over the world. However, surprisingly enough its US franchise base is very small, with only a handful of Good Burger restaurants located within the continental United States. But that is about to change as several local eating establishments that were once prime hangouts for kids, adults and families from Los Angeles to New York have declared bankruptcy due to new competition as Good Burger opens up new restaurants in many locations around the Schneiderverse and eventually forces each one to go out of business. But what does this mean for the business owners and communities who will be affected? Will the key people who frequented these establishments return and help fight back? Will the Good Burger executives become too power hungry and take their monopoly too far? And if so, who will step in and help bring Good Burger back to its core values it founded itself on?
My goal for this story is to explore these questions and more as I begin this adventure of bringing all the Nickelodeon shows created by Dan Schneider (e.g. All That, Kenan & Kel, The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious, Sam & Cat, Game Shakers) together for an epic crossover that is bound to be an adventure, not only for the characters but you as the reader and myself as a writer. The details are a little bit sketchy right now, but the main premise of the plot will involve the local fast food restaurants and establishments in each show (e.g. Bots from Sam & Cat, the Premiere Theater from Drake & Josh, the Groovy Smoothie from iCarly, the Clam Jumper from Game Shakers) declaring bankruptcy and ultimate closing because of declining business as a result of Good Burger opening new franchises near them. The goal of this now multinational monopoly is to be become the largest fast food chain in the entire world. How will the establishments operate under this new ownership and how will the communities they serve be affected? The casts from each show will play a major role in reclaiming their local businesses in a clash between local communities and corporate greed as they attempt to save their favorite businesses from closing. In addition, I would also like to create a subplot involving Kel Mitchell embarking on a transformative journey to discover his true identity, as he revisits all of his characters (e.g. Double G, Coach Kreeton, Ed from Good Burger and himself as Kel Kimble) and endures the trials and tribulations of discovering his true self. Along the way, he reunites with his old best friend Kenan who provides him with the "voice of reason" as he embarks on this transformative journey. But also, Kenan still has a lot of crazy schemes up his sleeve and the two of them get into a lot of trouble along the way. How exactly will this part of the story play out? You'll just have to stay tuned.
As this is my first FanFiction story, I may be asking you for help coming up with plot points and sublots, developing a conflict and perhaps building on the existing characters and developing some new characters. And now, without further ado, sit back, relax and enjoy the ultimate DanWarp crossover event, GOOD BURGER TAKES OVER THE SCHNEIDERVERSE!
