Hey ya'll! An update? Already? Why yes, yes it is! Apparently the special episode didn't turn out as special as I thought it would be so I'm redeeming myself with this chapter/episode. I thought of a running gag: Noah's arguments constantly being interrupted by someone or something. It's perfect.

Reply time!

LinkonPark100: Thanks! I'm glad you didn't get confused. And it looks like the group became good friends with the Bottom Dwellers!

AdversityTwins-RealityTVBros : Thanks!

CVluvFoxy: It's cool, bro. I appreciate your opinion. And you'll never know… until the last episode of the first season or 'book'.

Aztec 13: As you know, I will be making The Ridorkulous Sequel after I finish this one. And yes, the second season will contain some of the Ridonculous Race characters… spoilers!

All the spoilers are on my profile for the next part of Dork Squad. Don't view it if you know you'll get bored by this story. And don't get too excited either. That won't be coming in a while. So here's the next episode!

I'm warning you, this episode might have awkward scenes which might turn out to be a bit funny.


Episode 6: Fresh Hair

It was dark in the school grounds. Everyone was asleep – well, almost everyone anyway. Back in the Nerd Hangout, two pairs of feet tiptoed to the back of the small building. One of them held a bottle in their hand. And the other opened the window.

"Shhh," Duncan hissed. "This is all part of the plan right?"

Courtney looked at him evilly and nodded. "You bet! It was really sweet of you to come up with this idea for me."

"Please, babe. If it's one thing we have in common: it's making sure those nerd get jinxed," Duncan whispered. Courtney squealed softly and kissed him.

"At times like this, you really make a good boyfriend! Now quick, swap the shampoo before we get caught," she hissed.

"You bet." Duncan slipped into the bathroom and went in the shower cubicle. Then he replaced one of the shampoo bottles with the one he held in his hand.

"That'll teach those nerds not to mess with my lady," he told himself before slipping out the window. It was as easy as breaking out of juvie.

"That was almost way too easy," he whispered and gave Courtney a high-five, to which she returned in delight.

"You really are the best. Let's go!" Courtney said one last time and the couple made a run for it. And the bottle stayed there like it should.


The sun rose across Fresh High. Not everyone woke up to its natural light. In fact, nobody cared about it at all. Meanwhile, Harold woke up early and jumped out of bed.

"Gosh, what a dream," he yawned. "I had this weird dream where Noah was tap dancing. Hah, I wish I could see that in real life," he told himself as he put on his robe and headed for the bathroom.

As he stepped into the shower in his birthday suit, he slowly reached for the nearest shampoo bottle near him. he shook it and realized it was almost empty. He glared. "Okay, who's been using my shampoo!?" he asked, his loud voice echoing through the walls. There was no answer.

"Noah and Cody know better than to use my stuff," he grumbled to himself. Knowing that it's almost finished, he took off the cap and placed the entire liquid on his head. It stank. It was brown. It had the consistency of….

Harold's eyes widened in horror and he shuddered underneath the showering water. Within seconds, he released a scream that nearly woke up the entire school. Back in their rooms, Noah and Cody shot out of their beds. They got out of bed and left their rooms to meet up.

"W-What was that!?" Cody stammered in shock.

"Whatever it is – or whoever it was is more like it, this is the wrong time for me to wake up!" Noah answered.
"What do you mean?" Cody moaned while rubbing his still tired eyes.

"I mean Chris asked the student government to organize the decorations for prom. This is the agony of being president," he answered tiredly.

"I feel sorry for you, dude. But not more than whoever nearly split our ears with that scream!" Cody whined.

"If my hindsight is correct, I'm guessing it's Harold," Noah groaned. He walked to the bathroom with Cody following. Once they reached the door, Noah started to bang on it.

"Harold!" Noah shouted.

"DON'T COME IN!" they heard him scream from the other side. Noah growled. Then he grabbed Cody and aimed his head for the door.

"WAH! Noah, what are you-!?"

"HAROLD, YOUR CONSTANT SCREAMING AND COMPLAINING IS MAKING ME ANTSY!" And with that, Noah rammed Cody's head into the bathroom door. It worked. It broke. Noah didn't care… except for the fact that he hurt Cody's head. The boy's teal blue orbs were rolling around his eyes dizzily.

"Sorry, dude," Noah apologized blankly.

"It's okay, Noah, I know you did it because you love me," Cody said groggily before passing out on the floor. Noah rolled his eyes and pulled the shower curtain. Then he smelled something awful.

"Oh! Talk about Owen pooping in the shower! What happened to you?" Noah gagged.

"That's what I WANT TO KNOW!" Harold snapped. His head was covered in… waste. It was horrible. "Which one of you a-holes was it!?"

"What're you talking about?" Noah asked, his voice rising in anger.

"I'm talking about my shampoo! Which one of you dundernerds swapped my shampoo bottle with a bottle of feces?!" he demanded while showing Noah a bottle with the same label but with different contents in it.

"As hilarious as that question sounded, I can assure you it wasn't me," Noah answered lowly. "And I'm sure it wasn't Cody either."

"Oh don't play coy with me! I know you hate me!"

"I do but I wouldn't do something like that unless it came to my head! And I only thought of doing the same thing just now!"

"I'm calling you a liar!"

"Who are you calling a liar you pathetic excuse for a-"

Cody came in between them, wobbling. "Ladies, ladies, please, you're both pretty." And he passed out again.

"He's right. But it's obvious I'm hotter," Harold informed.

"You're right. You look way hotter with that crap burning on your head like acid," Noah deadpanned. Harold remembered this and screamed again – even louder than before. Noah covered his ears in pain and Cody woke up once again.

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF PEACE AND QUIET WOULD YOU STOP!?" Noah shouted.

"Yeah, just wash it off or something!" Cody cried while covering his ears painfully.

"Even if I do wash it off, the odor will still remain! Quick, give me your shampoo!" Harold begged.

"No," Noah and Cody said.

"Come on! Help a man out here!" Harold cried.

"Just because we share the same hangout doesn't mean we get to share the same stuff. Wash your hair and buy your own shampoo. I'm going back to bed," Noah groaned. All of a sudden, they heard an alarm go off in Noah's room. "URGH! Now look at what you did! Now I won't get to sleep for ten hours straight!" he snapped.

"I'm going to bed too… I'm too tired for this," Cody moaned.

"Can't you smell the 'aroma'? it smells like Owen's s***," Noah pointed out.

"I'm too tired to sense anything but sleep. The way you banged me on the door gave me a migraine and damaged my olfactory nerves. Will you carry me?" he pleaded.

"Cody, I am not going to-"

"Zzzz," Cody snored as he slumped to the bathroom floor, sleeping. Noah groaned in frustration and carried Cody on his back.

"Guys come on! At least help me wash it off!" Harold pleaded once more.

Knowing he'll risk getting his hands dirty over nothing, Noah turned his back on Harold and walked out the door. "Oh yeah, we're definitely out of here."

"GOSH! Idiots!" Harold snapped. He didn't know what to do. His friends abandoned him. It ticked him off. "Fine! I'll wash it off myself!" And with that, he turned on the faucet.

As he reached his wardrobe, he opened it and found a beanie Beth gave him as a sign of her affection. If he wanted to hide the stench, he had to hide it in a hat.

"It's better than nothing." He shrugged and put the beanie on his head. It was magenta and it had stars all over it. He looked ridiculous. He checked Noah's and Cody's rooms. Cody was fast asleep and Noah already left before him. He grabbed his jacket and headed out the door.


A lot of students were walking tiredly throughout the morning. Some of them were still asleep, not caring if they had classes or not. Nobody did. It was a weekend. Harold found out that the shops were closed, much to his frustration.

"Oh! Where am I going to get some shampoo around here!?" Harold groaned. A few classmates who passed him looked at him suspiciously. DJ, B, Beardo and Leonard are some of the few who passed and noticed his stench. Even Scott passed by him with a smirk of suspicion.


Scott's Confessional

The boy crossed his arms with a smug grin. "Man, and I thought I was the smelliest person in the group."


Harold kept on walking until he bumped into Anne Maria.

"Hey, watch where you going, you buffoon!" she barked.

"Sorry. Here, take my hand," Harold said and offered her his hand. Before Anne Maria could grab it, she pulled her hand back and gagged.

"Ugh! What is that putrid aroma!?" she asked with her nose covered.

"It's… my hair. Someone played a prank on me and I want to know who!" Harold informed. "By any chance, do you know any open shops that sell shampoos?" he asked politely.

"Hmm, I don't have shampoo. But I do have a hair spray that can get rid of that stench," she answered.

"You do!?"

She nodded.

"Oh please show me, please! I beg of you! I can't stand the stench as much as you do. PLEASE!" he sobbed and knelt down to grab Anne Maria's leg.

"Hey! Hand off the legs, brother! I'll do it," she said, accepting his offer.

"Awesome!" Before Harold could hug her, she gave him the hand.

"Don't hug me and I'll help you!" she immediately said.

"Right, of course!"


Noah, Courtney, Scarlett and Cameron stood before Chris, as well as some of the minor officer students of the school. There was Sky, the leader of the sports committee. Rodney, DJ and Dawn were in charge of keeping the school grounds safe, as well as the animals. There were Geoff and Bridgette, who never thought they would be the leaders of a party planning committee. Enough said.

"Okay, guys, let's get this party started!" Geoff started. Then he grabbed a list and unrolled it.

"First off I want Noah and Courtney to put up the hanging decorations. Cameron and Scarlett will handle the lower decorations. Rodney will handle the plants. DJ and Dawn make the food. Sky, you test for safety precautions. Bridge and I'll think of the rocking tunes that'll make this party rock its way to the roof!" he announced.

"You still got it, Geoff," Bridgette swooned.

"Don't I always? Come on, people, let's do this!" Geoff finished.

"Yeah!" said everyone but Noah and Courtney.

"I'd like to object!" Noah and Courtney interrupted.

"Sorry, no objections," Chris said while wearing his usual grin.

"Let the couple speak, Chris," Geoff insisted.


Courtney's Confessional

"COUPLE!?"


Noah's Confessional

Noah growled until he snapped and punched the bathroom mirror. It broke and the camera's screen cracked.


"Why am I paired with Little Miss Drama Queen?" Noah questioned.

"And why am I with Mr. Snarky Know-It-All?" Courtney asked snobbishly.

"You two are paired together. No excuses, capiche?" Chris answered.

"But-" they both said.

"LET'S GET TO IT, PEOPLE! CHAP CHAP!" Chris ordered.

"Argh! Just so you know, I'm not working with you," Courtney growled.

"The feeling's mutual," Noah growled back. Courtney smirked and gave Noah a bucket of streamers. "Here, go hang these while I go get some more," she ordered him.

Noah rolled his eyes. "Sure, I go hang these like the responsible president I am, while you go bludge off somewhere just to be Duncan's hoe. I get it," he replied dryly.

Courtney looked back at him and glared. "WHY YOU LITTLE!?"

"Save the feud after I demote you, honey. I know you were behind Harold's shampoo bottle being replaced," Noah deadpanned spot-on.

"W-what are you talking about!?" she stammered.

Noah smirked and huffed. "So it was you."

"It was not!"

"Here's something you don't know, Courtney. The fact is I never knew it was you until you pointed out the obvious. And because you did, I got my answer. Thanks for letting me know. I can't wait for a revote," Noah said smugly before turning his back on her. Courtney turned red in anger and began to steam up.

"Are you going to stand there with your position at stake or are you going to help me so I can defend your position?" Noah called.

"I'm coming!" Courtney snapped and stomped to the nerd's direction.


Courtney's Confessional

The girl kept pulling her hair out in frustration. "How did he figure that out!? Ugh! Of course… he's a freaking nerd. And I'll help him alright… I guess it's time I teach him a lesson on how to hang himself," she said before chuckling evilly.

"What? I'm doing this for my position."


Noah's Confessional

"There is no way I'm defending her position, even if she does help me. This is the payback for all those times she tried to sabotage me and my comrades! If she wants to play with fire, then she'll get what's coming to her… and I never thought I'd say this but: I'm avenging Harold."


Anne Maria led Harold to her dorm. It was full of pictures of her favorite divas, actors, and… Vito? On the middle where her bed lies, a huge portrait of Ezekiel hangs just above her bed. Harold's eyes widened. There were cans of spray cans and lotion bottles on her dresser. In fact, it was loaded with make-up. The entire room was pink and it was filled with pungent perfume. It was so strong, he couldn't smell his own hair anymore. But it made him want to hurl.

"So… where is it?" Harold asked. Anne Maria looked through her drawers and took out a can of hairspray. "Aha! Here we go." She gave the can to Harold.

"This won't just get rid of the odor on your hair, it'll make your hair look even more attractive! The ladies will be swooning over you!" she explained.

"No kidding?" Harold asked, smiling.

"You betcha! And the only thing that could wear it off is-"

"No need to know that. Thanks for the offer!" Harold turned and left the room.

"HOLD IT!" Anne Maria shouted.

"Yes?" Harold halted.

"You still owe me a small fortune," she answered.

"Uh, sure. What do you need?" Harold asked.

"A thousand bucks," she answered. Harold remembered the beanie Beth gave him and took it off. Then he sprayed it with the can Anne gave him. It lost its stench.

"Here, take this. It's pink, just like your room," he stated. "And Beth told me she got it from a famous clothes designer from Milan. Beth bought it with her million bucks instead of helping out her boyfriend, Brady." It was obviously a lie. But Anne Maria bought it anyway.

"Deal! Now get lost!" she took it and pushed Harold out of her room.

Harold went to the boys' bathroom and stared at the mirror, then at the can. "Can't believe she bought that. Now that I tested it on that beanie, I guess I can test it on my hair. If I get bald because of her, I'm gonna file Noah a complaint!" he told himself. He opened the can and without hesitance, he sprayed his hair with it. Then he took a look at the mirror and was beyond shocked.

Anne Maria was right: it does work! Not only that, his hair looks shiny and flawless. He couldn't believe his eyes. "Gosh… I look awesome!" he exclaimed. He took out a comb and combed his hair up with ease. "Whoa, it's got the consistency of hair gel too! This stuff works!" he said impressively before kissing the can.

Harold kept the can in his pocket and walked outside. He began to strut his way down the hallway like a 'cool' guy would. Some of the girls looked his way and smiled. They even went in his direction and circled him.

"Harold… is that you?" Beth asked.

"Oh my gosh, Harry, you look so handsome!" Lindsay commented.

"I like your new look," Ella said sweetly albeit she's not attracted to him.

"Me too! Was that why you screamed earlier this morning?" Zoey wondered.

"Who cares? It's amazing!" Sierra said. Then she shrugged. "But I like Codykins' hair better."

"Your hair… it looks amazing! It's even more flawless than mine!" Dakota commented enviously.

"Okay, Harold, I like so take back what I said about you before. You're a good guy!" Amy commented.

"OMG, you have to teach me how to wash your hair!" Katie pleaded.

"Uh, hello? Harold has to teach me first, Katie. I get first dibs!" Sadie called out.

"Uh, like no way, Sadie. I was here first!" Katie argued.

"Well I got dibs first!" Sadie argued back.

"YEEEHAAAW!" All of a sudden, Sugar came to him and ripped his shirt off.

"Forget that! I want his shirt!" Then she stared at his hair. "AND HIS HAIR!" she shouted this time.

"Hey! Ladies, ladies, don't fight over me. It's obvious I'm too hot for any of you right now. But I appreciate you all appreciating my newly awesome style," Harold said. He was shirtless now. Katie and Sadie started to breathe heavily until they fainted.

"That figure… you could be a runway model, Harold!" Dakota suggested.

"Can I have a lock of your hair? I want to examine it for a bit," asked Sadie, who just recovered from fainting.

"I want two locks of hair!" Katie shouted.

"I WANT ALL OF HIS HAIR!" Sugar shrieked.

"NO! NO STEALING! But I will hang with you ladies for a little while longer," Harold stated.

"Sounds good enough for me," Amy said.

"I'll go with you!" Katie squealed.

"Me too! Pick me!' Sadie squealed as well.

"I'm going too!" Beth said.

"If she's going, I'm going!" Lindsay added.

"You can all come with me if you wish," Harold said.

"I'm not. I still like your hair though! I'll catch you later," Sierra informed.

"I have to go too. Mike's looking for me right now. Bye!" Zoey said. Ella nodded and walked away with Zoey while humming her favorite tunes.

While Harold walked with the ladies along the hallway, Leshawna found him and was about to greet him with a wave. "Hey, Sugar Baby!" she paused for a moment and caught Harold hanging out with a group of girls.

"And so in the forest I was all 'You make me sick!' and Noah was all 'And you—AAAHH!' That was one of the best moments of my life!" Harold said.

"Wow, who knew Noah wasn't so good at debating. I didn't know you were better," Amy purred.

"I was always better than him," Harold said proudly as he and the girls laughed together and walked past Leshawna.

"Harold!" Leshawna screamed. There was nothing and Harold completely ignored her. Then she glared.


Leshawna's Confessional

"Ain't NOBODY gonna steal my man! And what is with his hair anyway!? It's not the same hair I loved when I first fell for him," she snapped


Cody was in the kitchen of their hangout, preparing himself a meal. Unknown to everyone, even Noah, Cody can cook. He was pretty darn good at it too. He made himself a nice bowl of ramen and set the table to his own liking. He took his own serving and sat on the table to eat.

"I wonder where Harold is," he asked himself and took a sip at his soup. All of a sudden, the door burst open before him, revealing Harold. The boy wore a black blazer over his uniform and dark shades on his eyes to match. His hair was just as shiny as his shoes and it was combed in a slicked back style. He even wore some of his rings like he did when he was a Drama Brother. Cody paused from eating his noodles and looked at him with a funny expression.

"Harold?!" Cody started.

"That's right, baby! It's me," he answered.

"You look ridiculous," Cody chuckled before taking a bite from his dish.

"Says you! A—Hey, where'd you get that? It looks good," Harold said.

"O-Oh I uh… I ordered a takeout from the school canteen," Cody lied. Why does he need to hide something like that anyway?

"Funny, I don't remember the canteen selling those. I'll order them one day. Anyway, I'm hot now!" Harold announced.

"Gee, I never noticed that before," Cody commented sarcastically.

"And the ladies are swooning over me," Harold continued.

"I can't imagine why."

"And it's all thanks to this thing!" Harold finished and brought out a can of hair spray. Cody looked up, showing disinterest. "Where'd you get that?" he asked anyway.

"I got it from Anne Maria! All it cost was a cheap beanie," Harold answered. "I bet you want it, don't you?"

Cody paused from eating. "Well I—"

"Well you can't! It's mine now and mine alone. With it, I can become the school's most handsome playboy!"

"Okay, now you're going a bit too far," Cody muttered and got off his chair to go to Harold.

"Am I? Isn't this what you always wanted?" Harold asked almost rudely.

"It used to be, but now it's nothing. I'm tired of figuring out ways to chase girls. Besides, I've found my girl. And don't you have yours to impress instead of dozens of other girls who don't even like you for who you are?" Cody asked.


Cody's Confessional

"Okay, I know what you're thinking: That's so out of character for you, Cody! Well it's not. I learned my lesson when it comes to the ladies. Plus I found my girl: Sammy. When I find someone, I won't search for anyone else. That's how loyal I am," he said. Then he looked down sadly. "And I guess that also meant I never had a thing for Gwen at all. But I'm over her. I honestly never cared about her that much anyway."


"I don't know what you mean."

"Have you even showed Leshawna your new hairdo?" Cody asked.

Harold shrugged. "No. It's not like I care either."

"But she's your girlfriend!" Cody yelled.

"Yeah but we don't hang much anymore and I'm sure she understand that we're through. Anyways, I better go. The ladies are probably already looking for me right now," Harold said.

"That's—you're just so-! Gah!" Cody took a deep breath and held his hand out to Harold. "Can I at least look at the can? I want to see if the side effects include you becoming an insensitive jerk," Cody said as calmly as possible. His glare gave his temper away.

"Who are YOU calling an insensitive jerk!? This miracle worker has totally changed my life! If you so just lay your hands on it to get rid of it or use it for yourself, I will give you a wedgie up the flagpole! Got it?" Harold threatened.

Cody looked at him fearfully. "H-Harold…?"

"Don't Harold me, buddy, otherwise I'm quitting the group! But before I do, I'm getting a shower. I need more of this! All that germy bacteria and humid air causes my hair to sweat and wear off the effect. Ciao!" Harold said and went to the bathroom to have another bath.

"What about leaving?"

"I'll save that for after I take a shower. And you better not try to take this baby from me or else! Are we clear?!"

"Crystal," Cody said, his fingers crossed behind his back.

"Good," Harold said and walked straight to the bathroom.


Cody's Confessional

"Okay, not only is Harold an insensitive jerk, he forgot his loyalty towards his best friend and his girlfriend! He and that spray can are as clingy as Anne Maria and her spray cans. I'm going to have to take that can from him. But it's not going to be easy… especially when Noah's not around to help me. The guy's probably having more fun than I am right now."


"A little higher, Courtney!" Noah nagged from above. Courtney groaned and pulled the lever to raise the ladder higher. Noah reached out for the ceiling and hung a streamer over the hook. He was tired. He was a bit sweaty from the job. And he was about to finish the last corner of the wall with streamers and balloons. Meanwhile from below, Courtney had ordered a bucket of glue from Duncan, who snuck in just to give it to her. She placed the bucket next to the ladder.

"Hey Noah! I think you missed a spot for the balloons!" Courtney called out.

"Do I look like an idiot to you, Courtney?" Noah deadpanned, still not looking at her.

"No, because I think one fell down. Right… HERE!" On cue, she kicked the ladder and Noah fell off screaming.

"Whoaaaaahhh!" Noah screamed. Everyone in the gym looked at the frightening incident. Noah kept on screaming until he fell into the bucket of wet, white glue. Courtney snorted and tried to hold back a laugh.

"Chris! We got a man down here!" Courtney asked, faking her worry. Everyone in the gym circled and looked down on Noah. The president groaned and spat out some glue that was still in his mouth. He got off the bucket with celerity and tried to get the glue off his body and face.

"Are you okay, Noah? You're looking a bit white, dude," Geoff said worriedly.

"And sticky," Cameron added.

"What happened!?" Bridgette asked worriedly.

Noah wiped the glue off his face disgustingly and glared daggers at Courtney. "That's what I'd like to know," he growled.

"Noah, you're dismissed today so feel free to take a shower. Everyone get back to work!" Chef nagged.

"Are you going to be okay, Noah?" Scarlett asked. Noah answered her question with a death glare. "I'll take that as a maybe," she muttered.

"Don't worry, Noah, I'll take care of everything for you," Courtney said in a fake-sweet voice.

"Good one, Courtney. I can't wait for Karma to strike you back," Noah grumbled.

"I'll look forward to it."

Noah growled and stomped away from the gym. She won this round.


Harold finished his shower and hid his can away in his secret stash. Not even Cody nor Noah know where it is. He put his clothes back on and headed for the kitchen. Cody finished washing the dishes and brought a towel with him. He even undressed himself until he was only wearing his boxers.

"It's my turn. Where's the can?

"It's in the bathroom – somewhere where you'll never find it."

"I don't intend to look for it. Do you want some ramen?" Cody asked.

"No thanks. I'm having a multiple date with the ladies!" Harold said before putting his shades on and exiting the hangout. Cody rolled his eyes and groaned. "Now I know how annoying I was when I was like him," he muttered disappointedly.

As soon as Harold left, Cody ran into the bathroom and hung his towel. He faked going for a bath. He forgot to lock the door too. He didn't feel the need to because he wasn't going to bathe. He wanted to go back and fetch his clothes, but he didn't.

"I gotta find that hair spray!" he hissed to himself. He looked everywhere: the cabinets, the bathtub, the toilet. There was nothing there. He groaned. Harold couldn't have lied to him. He strictly keeps his bathroom belongings in the bathroom… or his pocket. He was going to check Harold's room when all of a sudden, he heard their front door opened. His eyes widened in horror and he hid in the shower cubicle without even thinking. He thought it was Harold.

It was Noah.

"Stupid planning, stupid glue, stupid Courtney getting on my butt all the time," he grumbled to himself. He went to his room, searched for a clean uniform and a towel, and headed for the bathroom undressed. He placed his sticky clothes in the washing machine and all he wore was his boxers. He placed a towel around him, looked around for Cody or Harold and saw a pot full of ramen sitting on the stove.

"I wonder who made this," he mumbled to himself. It looked good to him. He shrugged and headed for the bathroom. He thought Cody and Harold had left.

Cody heard the bathroom door open and started biting his fingernails. Then it became quiet for some reason. With hesitance, he opened the shower curtain and bumped into Noah. They both landed on their butts and gave each other a long stare.

"N-Noah?!" Cody screamed. Noah noticed this and saw Cody standing before him in the shower.

"C-Cody!?" Noah stuttered. The two pointed at each other and shrieked embarrassedly like a couple of school girls. Cody took his towel and covered his body with it. "W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, NOAH!?" he shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"Me!? I should be asking YOU the same question! Why didn't you lock the door!?" Noah argued back.

"I forgot to-"

"WHAT KIND OF IDIOT FORGETS TO LOCK A BATHROOM DOOR!?" Noah interjected.

"WHAT KIND OF IDIOT FORGETS TO KNOCK ON A BATHROOM DOOR!?" Cody retorted.

"Oh don't give me any of that! And stop covering your body like a girl, you wuss!" Noah screamed.

"Shut up! I'm naked, okay!?" Cody screamed.

"Last time I checked, wearing your boxers alone doesn't mean you're naked!"

Cody's eyes widened and blushed madly. "YOU WERE CHECKING ME OUT!?"

"I was not!" Noah screamed. He only glanced. And that was it.

"What color is my underwear!?" Cody interrogated angrily.

"Bla-"

*SLAP*

"OW!" Noah exclaimed.

"STOP TALKING, YOU PERVERT! Wait, what happened to you?" Cody asked calmly and observed Noah's face. It looked like it had glue on it.

"Glue, Courtney, you get the idea," Noah answered angrily while rubbing his sore cheek.

"Is that why you ended early?" Cody asked.

"Uh no. I was dismissed because I didn't feel like helping, genius. Forget this. Hurry up with your bath," Noah said and headed for the door.

"I wasn't going to take a shower," Cody said.

"Really," Noah said skeptically and turned to look at Cody. "Would you care to explain why you're so underdressed?"

"It was an excuse to make Harold think I was taking a bath."

"And why would you do something ridiculous like that?" Noah deadpanned with his hands on his hips.

"It's Harold. He found this new hair spray and now he's turned into an insensitive jerk," Cody explained.

"Isn't he always an insensitive jerk?" Noah asked dryly.

"To you maybe, but to Leshawna!? Leshawna!?" Cody shouted.

"Okay, now that's not Harold," Noah pointed out. "So you think the hair spray had something to do with it?"

"It should. Anne Maria gave it to him and-"

"Of course… everything Anne Maria owns that's related to hair usually doesn't end well," Noah stated. "Her products are meant for her and her only. She offers 'small fortunes' for a reason."

"Either way, that still sounds wrong," Cody muttered. "So you'll help me?" he asked.

"I will. But for now, get out," Noah said and pointed at the door for me to leave.

"I dunno… I could use a bath too you know."

"OUT!" Noah snapped and kicked Cody out the bathroom.

"Okay, fine, Mr. Bossy," Cody shrugged and went to his room to get changed.

Later on, Noah finished his bath and Cody served him a bowl of ramen as comfort food. Cody took a chair and sat next to his friend. Noah had an ice pack held on his face.

"I'm sorry for slapping you, Noah," he apologized.

"It's fine. I'm sorry for barging in. But seriously, you should've locked the door," Noah groaned.

"I didn't know you would return early," Cody whined.

"Whatever." He took a sip from the noodles. "So what you're saying is- Mmm this is good. Where'd you get it?" he asked genuinely. Cody gasped at how calm he suddenly was.

"I uh.."

Noah smirked at his stammering. "You made it, didn't you?"

Cody scratched his head and his ears turned red. "I didn't-"

"Don't lie to me. I know you made this," Noah teased before taking another sip.

"Don't judge me."

"What're you talking about? I like it. Why didn't you tell me you could cook?" Noah asked.

"I just thought it was too personal. Anyway, we need to take that can from Harold. It's the only way he'll turn back to normal!' Cody explained.

"Not gonna happen. That can is like a host to Harold. He'll hold on to it, and maybe even secure it from anyone who wants to take it from him. I'm guessing it's because we didn't allow ourselves to loan our stuff to him. Like that'll change anything," Noah said.

"We need to get that can and give it back to Anne Maria!" Cody planned.

"I don't know… I've got better things to do like getting back at Courtney," Noah said.

"Noah!"

"Fine, sabotage later. Where's that can?" Noah asked.

"It's in the bathroom."

Noah shook his head. "It's not in there. Maybe he brought it with him."

"No, he didn't. it's still in there. I know it," Cody answered back.

"If you're right, we're golden. If not, then we'll need a plan to get it out of Harold's back." Noah finished his ramen and went to the bathroom with Cody following behind. For several minutes they couldn't find it.

"It's not here," Noah deadpanned.

"This can't be right!" Cody cried.

"You're right," Noah said before thinking. "Unless…" he walked slowly around the walls and felt it with his hands. Then he suddenly stepped on a tile a secret compartment opened from the wall, revealing Harold's bath needs.

"Bingo," Noah muttered.

"You found it!" Cody exclaimed. Then he pushed Noah out of the way and grabbed one of Harold's soaps. "Now I can figure out what brands of soaps Harold uses," he said before laughing evilly.

"You still want to know about that?"

"I want to know how he keeps his skin so smooth. Leshawna told me that it was."

"Your skin is smoother than his so there's no need to be envious. And you do know he washes his butt with that thing right?" Noah informed.

Cody's eyes shrunk and he flailed the soap off his hands. "EW! How'd you know?"

"He told us. Remember?"

= Flashback =

"Harold, truth or dare!" Cody said.

"Truth!"

"What soap do you use?" Cody asked.

"What the heck?" Noah commented.

"What he said. What kind of a question is that!?" Harold asked angrily.

"I'm just curious." Cody shrugged.

"I'm not telling you. All I'm saying is I wash my butt with it so you can't lay your hands on it," Harold stated.

"Okay, why am I hearing this?" Noah questioned grossly.

"I'm sorry I asked," Cody mumbled.

= End of Flashback =

"Oh…" Cody cringed at the thought of that truth. "You know what, I'm glad I asked." The boy placed his hand in and took out a familiar can. "Got it!" Cody exclaimed.

"Wait to go! Now quick, let's get out of here before-"

The door opened before Noah could finish his words. They heard Harold humming and his footsteps loudening. Noah and Cody started to panic. Using his quick wits, Noah headed for the window and opened it carefully.

"Shh," he hissed and let Cody get out the window first. Noah followed after with the not-so-secret-anymore compartment left wide open. Once Harold opened the door, his eyes widened knowing his spray wasn't there.

"NOAH! CODY!" he screamed.

Once Noah and Cody approached Anne Maria's door, Anne Maria answered it and glared. "You boys just woke me up from my beauty sleep!"

"Sorry, not sorry," Noah said. "We want you to have this back. Ever since you gave it to Harold, he's turned into a selfish freak!"

"We want to know how to stop it, please!" Cody begged.

"Easy, just drench his hair with water and you're good to go. Now get out of my room!" Anne Maria barked.

"Thanks! And by the way, that beanie was bought for no more than ten bucks," Cody informed before leaving. Anne Maria realized this and threw the beanie in the trash. "WHAT?!"

"Okay, so all we have to do is wash Harold's hair and he'll be back to normal! The only question is how?" Noah said. Cody thought for a moment and grinned at his new idea.

"Water guns?"

Noah looked at him and grinned back.

"I love it when you get devious."


Harold stomped around the school courtyard, searching for Noah and Cody.

"Alright, you peons, where are you!?" he growled.

"Yo, Harold!" called a voice. Harold turned around and saw Cody and Noah holding two water-loaded Nerf guns.

"Where's my hair spray!?" Harold snapped.

"Oh we got rid of it. And you're next!" Cody screamed and started shooting water pellets at Harold. Harold immediately dodged them by flipping over and under them. Noah started to shoot as well.

"This is for your own good, Harold! Give up already!" Noah shouted.

"Never!" Harold ran towards them and snatched Cody's water gun. Then he pushed the boy to the ground. "It's just you, and me."

"Cody!" Noah yelled.

"Go on without me, Noah, and finish him off!" Cody ordered.

"Silence!" Harold hissed and shot Cody with his own water gun.

"You shoot him again, and I'll have your head flushed down the toilet!" Noah threatened and aimed his water gun at Harold.

Harold glared and grabbed Cody to point his gun at him. "You take a step closer and the boy gets it!"

Cody shuddered. "Uuuh… with the gun that close, I think I might drown if he pulls the trigger! Noah, a little help!"

Noah started to get sentimental and hesitant. It was all up to him now. He had to save Harold and Cody. He glanced behind Harold and saw Leshawna waving her arms at him. Then he looked at Harold seriously and dropped his gun.

"You win," Noah lied.

Harold grinned. Then it disappeared when Noah kicked his own gun and it smashed onto Harold's face. The gun went flying out of his hand and he landed on the ground. Cody was released and the boy crawled away from Harold and onto Noah's side.

"Dude, that's some mad skills you got there!" Cody commented.

"Hey, it's all about strategy," Noah replied.

"UGH! I've had enough of this!" Harold snapped and took his gun. Then he aimed it at Noah and Cody. Cody fearfully held Noah, while Noah looked at him daringly.

"Any last words!?" Harold roared.

Cody screamed and buried his face in Noah's chest. Noah held his friend and grinned. "FIRE!" he shouted.

Harold's eyes widened and looked behind, only to find Leshawna pointing her gun at him. She smiled and pulled the trigger. Water gushed out and soaked Harold completely. The boy fell to the ground while Noah and Cody closed their eyes and held each other, knowing they were hit too. Everyone came in to see the situation.

"Oh no, Harold!" Amy cried.

"What happened?!" Katie cried.

"Aw dang! He's not hot anymore guys, let's leave him alone," Sugar sighed.

"Aww…" everyone else groaned and sighed while walking away without a care.

"Noah! Are you okay?!" Owen asked worriedly.

"I'm fine."

Samey managed to step in and noticed that her friends got into a fight. "Cody, Noah… Harold? What happened?"

Harold groaned and rubbed his head. His hair was no longer shiny. In fact, he was back to normal again! "That's what I want to know."

"Harold! You're back!" Cody screamed and launched himself onto the taller geek.

"Back…? From where?" Harold asked, still clueless about the whole situation.

"Baby, I'm so glad I got you back!" Leshawna cried and pulled Harold into her chest. Then Harold remembered everything. "Leshawna, you saved me... And I... I'm so sorry, you guys...! I shouldn't have been so selfish and... rude. I turned into a Duncan clone!" he cried.

Leshawna hushed him with a kiss, to which Harold returned. "It doesn't matter anymore, honey. As long as you're back to normal, I'm happy! It'll take a lot more than a can of hair spray to take you away from me!""

Harold could feel himself smiling. "So, we're still cool?"

Leshawna kissed him again. "Does that answer your question?"

"Yes!" Harold exclaimed and kissed her once more.

"We're sorry for not sharing our stuff with you either, Harold," Cody apologized.

"Don't sweat it. It's my fault for trying to invade your privacy," Harold assured him.

"That doesn't matter anymore, dude. Now that we have you back, it's time to get my revenge!" Noah grinned evilly as well as Cody.

"This isn't about me, is it?" Harold asked.

"Nope. All I need is a pool full of green jelly, if you know where I'm going with this. And I need you to help me round up the whole school," Noah said and winked at Harold and Cody. Harold and Cody got the idea and grinned evilly as well. Samey and Owen looked at each other uncomfortably.


"JUMP, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP!" everyone cheered. Chris and Courtney were on the highest diving board possible. Noah, Cody and Harold got a front seat view and set their thumbs up. Then Chris shoved Courtney and she fell into a pool full of green jelly.

"AAAHHH!" Courtney screamed before splatting onto the green, wiggly substance. A lot of students managed to record that on their phones. Harold recorded it on his camera while Noah and Cody pointed and laughed.

"Not the hair!" Courtney sobbed.

"Now that's what you call, Karma, honey!" Noah laughed. Courtney realized that this was his idea and growled horridly.

"YOU!" she roared.

"Oh man, this is just priceless! Even the payment to watch this was priceless – literally!" Cody laughed.

"I couldn't agree more!" Noah shouted.

"Say, where's Duncan? I wanted to see him hugging a Celine Dion music store standee without Courtney defending him," Harold asked curiously.

"Yeah, I gave him a better place to be for the day."

Referring to that last statement, Duncan was in detention and was forced to write a thousand word essay without the repetition of several words into one sentence. And Chef was there to make sure he writes it properly. The boy groaned in frustration.

"This bites."


Yeah… that ending might offend the Courtney and Duncan fans. I'm a bigger fan of Duncan than I am with Courtney. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who wanted to see Courtney jump in a pool full of green jelly. If she did, she would've saved her team, which was a good thing. And man, I liked her in Season 1. Then she became one of my most hated characters since the second season.

But she got what she deserved in this chapter… I mean causing Noah to nearly fall to his death onto a bucket of glue…that's just way off. And maybe if they didn't turn her into a witch then I wouldn't have made her this way in the story. She had me fooled that she was too nice back in the first season apparently.

And Harold being evil… whoa, that came out of nowhere. And poor Anne Maria… she just got scammed. And hopefully Beth won't be asking Harold about that beanie anytime soon.

I'll try not to make Courtney's nor Duncan's punishments too harsh. Duncan's growing on me and I kind of like him now. I hope you didn't find some scenes too disturbing or weird. This story is STRICTLY bromance among the nerds. And hopefully this chapter was better than the last. The next one won't be coming as easily as this one did. So in the meantime, read, review, whatever. No flames, yadda yadda yadda.
