Three words:
GUESS. WHO'S. BACK!
Two years ago I left this story on hiatus and now it's back baby! I don't know for how long but HOPEFULLY long enough for me to finish even the first series before moving on to the second. Everything will still go as planned based on my profile - I'm glad I wrote my plans there just in case. It feels great to serve this fandom again. Here are my long-awaited replies:
Karlos1234ify: I'm glad you did! The story's back so feel free to read it again at any time.
MorbidGinger: Hehe you changed your username. NO one can take Harold seriously. His hilarity meter is way off the top!
Unfinishedsenten: Thank you!
Soup not soap: Nice guest name haha.. And YES! Plenty of NoCo moments to go around. Not exactly romantic so much as it's bromantic. But in the next story I'll be keeping it bromantic because that's where Nemma's now a thing. :D
DamnYouPeopleWithCoolUserNames: I LOVE that name btw. XD Glad we've got some things in common! And YES Owen/Noah friendship is definitely one of the best throughout the series.
My grammar can be a little rusty in this chapter so please bear with me... I doubt this story will get the same love and attention it used to since Chapter 1 but I'm keen on finishing it anyway. I also heard there was a new Total Drama season coming with returning cast members! It better be good. There's a lot that Total Drama needs to redeem for.
Episode 7: Fizzy Juice
It was a dark and stormy night. Lightning clashed just above a certain hangout. Deep within that hangout, in the basement, was a laboratory... a laboratory for lunatics. There a ginger-haired girl was conducting an experiment on her latest product.
"Just a hint of my DNA... and..." Adding another sample, the mixture imploded within the flask, releasing orange smoke. The girl took off her goggles to reveal her identity.
"At last... it's alive! IT'S ALIVE! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
All of a sudden the light turned on, revealing Eva standing outside the basement door.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP! I AM TRYING TO SLEEP, IZZY!" she screamed.
"Oh, sorry!" Izzy apologized. Eva growled and slammed the door. Izzy grinned evilly and lifted her flask onto the dim light.
"Someday... the whole world will know of my Fizzy Juice! I'm going to change the world!" she declared before another violent thunder clashed outside, causing her hangout to get a power outage.
"Dammit!"
"Dude, hurry up in there! I need a bath too, ya know!" Cody nagged as he continued to bang against the door.
"You'll get your bath once I'm finished. GOSH!" Harold shot back. The boy could only glare more and rolled his eyes impatiently.
Cody's Confessional
"Ugh, I HATE it when Harold beats me to the shower! I should've gone last night like Noah did. Ever since he used Anne Maria's stupid hair product, he said he's been getting split ends, dandruff, and an itchy scalp! He's been bathing for at least an hour everyday! Normally I would think it's just poor hygiene, but anything Anne Maria uses only works perfectly on her and ends badly on others," he complained, then started to sniff himself. "I don't really stink. I guess it wouldn't hurt to skip a shower just for today. I have a bake sale to make today and it's not like they're going to smell me."
"You know what? I'm skipping a shower today. I left your lunch on your desk and I'll tell Noah to meet up at the computer lab," sighed Cody. The tech-geek went straight to his room, changed into his uniform, and left the hangout. The moment that door went shut, Harold stepped out of the shower and out of the bathroom.
"Hey, Codester, you can go in no- Where'd he go?" Harold muttered. Putting on his glasses, he searched the entire hangout for Cody before reaching the lounge, where he found a paper bag resting next to his backpack.
"My lunch?" He mumbled as he opened it. It certainly smells appetising, like roast chicken and salsa, and it looked like a burrito. The geek smiled before realizing, "Cody made this?!"
Harold immediately headed for the door, before noticing he was still in a towel.
"Shoot!" He quickly slammed the door, sprinted to his room and came back down with his clothes on and his hair fixed, then left and locked the hangout with his belongings.
Meanwhile, Noah paced across the hallways trying to avoid Courtney's cackling demands. The Vice President kept going on about the potential hazards and health risks the other students may give when making their own sales.
"And what if someone gets deaf after testing Geoff's party supplies, or skin rashes from Dave's skincare products, or food poisoning from Cody's sweets? Do you really think we should trust those insane uncertified people from selling their own custom made products to our school? Hmph! Some president you are," Courtney nagged.
Noah growled, turned to her, and snapped. "First of all, we're ALL insane in more ways than you can count - and don't even think you're not one of them, so don't get too proud of yourself. Second of all, this wasn't my idea, it was Chris' because apparently he couldn't afford to buy most things for our school so we all had to do our own project to make our own product which may or may not be beneficial to the whole school. We need Geoff and his group to make party supplies or your precious prom night will become the greatest fiasco in the school yearbook, Dave and his group to - I quote not make - but order skin and health care products using THEIR money which they use on their part-time jobs for this prison you call a school. And let's not forget that without Cody's sweets, this whole school will be grey, boring and flavorless, which is my schtick.
Chris' ideas are always approved and I'm the one who makes it happen by announcing it to the whole school. If you've got better ideas that doesn't involve spending all of our salaries combined then I'd be happy to hear you out."
"But-"
"Save it! You can tell Scarlett and Cameron then I'll get it from them. Now will you leave me alone!?" Noah finished before stomping away.
"Ugh, talk about lazy. No wonder you don't have a girlfriend," Courtney huffed.
Noah, who still had his back turned, clenched his fists and turned his head slightly. "So. what?" he growled lowly.
"Please, the only girlfriend you'll ever find is someone who thinks and acts exactly like you. But, what're the chances of that happening? I can't wait to watch you come to prom empty-handed." Courtney snickered then laughed before walking away.
The nerd was seething with rage, and it's only ten in the morning. The moment he reached his locker, he ignored his name being echoed from the hallway. The thought of Courtney taunting him of not having a girlfriend got on his last nerve. He slammed his hand against the door of his locker and swung it open, which eventually slapped Cody's face. The force of the door hitting him was so strong it knocked him off balance and pushed him against the floor.
"Ow! What was that for!?" Cody yelled. Noah said nothing and slammed his door shut with a book in his hand, then walked the opposite direction. Cody flinched in fear at the dark aura surrounding him. Even Dawn sensed it from the courtyard. Cody quickly went to his feet and chased him.
"Noah! What's wrong?"
Noah didn't answer and began to walk faster, trying to escape him. Cody grew with worry and picked up the pace.
"Dude!"
He said nothing and walked even faster.
"Noah, please slow do- Hey!" Cody took a deep stride forward to grab Noah's wrist. Thanks to Noah's reflexes, the nerd turned around, placed his hand on Cody's chest and shoved him onto the lockers, catching the attention of the few who stood around them. Cody began to shiver. He wanted to sink to the ground. Trepidation struck his eyes the moment he gazed onto Noah's, despite his hair getting in the way.
"Noah," Cody shuddered. Noah said nothing and leaned in slowly. Cody could've sworn his forehead turned purple.
"O-okay, I'm sorry! I won't ask you what's wrong anymore, I promise!" he cried.
He could've sworn Noah was about to do something horrific or weird... or both. Instead, Noah sighed, loosened his grip on him and leaned back.
"Sorry," he mumbled before letting Cody go completely, then continued to walk slowly and ignored the crowd.
Cody panted slightly, wondering what that whole scenario was about. Shaking his head, he rushed back to Noah's side.
"Were you going to say something else?" he asked.
"I was either going to tell you that I hate Courtney or I'm sorry... but you ruined the moment. Why?" Noah answered, albeit still mad.
"Oh, I thought you were going to do something... a little weird," Cody mumbled.
"Like what? You thought I was going to kiss you?" Noah guessed with a smirk.
The geek blushed. "W-what?! No! I-I mean-!"
"Yeah, not in your lifetime," Noah intervened.
"Oh... uh... ouch?"
"Please, you wouldn't cheat on your girl, Samey now would you?" Noah smirked.
"Huh? We're not exactly dating... I mean she is cute and I'm considering on asking her out and..."
Noah's Confessional
"I gotta say, despite Courtney being such a hindrance on my 'presidential career' and a drag on my life itself, Cody just seems to brighten the mood somehow. It's like he's the best company to have. If I could find a girl who can read me like an open book, I'll ask her out in a heartbeat. And besides, what's so wrong about being a bachelor at prom? Thanks to Courtney, now I just want to stay home playing video games until the entire night is over!"
"Come on, dude, I'm worried about you. Did Courtney tick you off again?" Cody asked softly.
"Wait to go, Einstein. You figured it out real quick, didn't you?" Noah groaned.
"What did she say? Anything she says will get a smack to the face in return!"
"You wouldn't hit a girl," Noah muttered, but smirked at the idea.
"Nah, I'll get Izzy to do it," Cody joked and the two shared a laugh.
"I got to admit, despite everything you've witnessed, you always seem to stick around," Noah pointed out.
"Hey, once a friend, always a friend. And I'll stay loyal right 'till the end."
Noah smiled genuinely. "I'll remember that until I get a girlfriend."
Cody's Confessional
The boy began to panic. "Until he gets a girlfriend? What does he mean by that? What if he does get a girlfriend?! Will we still be friends? Will I still be able to talk to him? Heck will I still EXIST to him!?"
Noah's Confessional
"Even when I'm at my worst, Cody still thinks I'm the best. Never thought I'd say this but friends like him are definitely a keeper for life."
"Um.. say you get a girlfriend... can we still hang out and stuff?"
"Are you Cody?"
Cody said nothing and blinked confusedly. Noah shook his head and ruffled his hair.
"Of course."
"Hey! There you are!" called a raspy voice.
"Yo, Harold." Cody greeted.
"How's the Hairold doing?" Noah teased.
"Ha. Funny. It's gotten better. No way am I doing something stupid like that again," Harold sighed.
"NOAH! HEY NOAH, OVER HERE!" Izzy called.
"Ugh, I need to take this. Do you guys want to come?"
"I'd love to but Zoey, Ella and DJ need me for the bake sale."
"Oh, awesome! What're you selling?" Harold asked.
"Well, Zoey's making cupcakes, DJ's settling for cake, Ella's doing a pie, and I think I was doing cookies? On the side note, I'm also selling CANDY!" Cody squealed excitedly.
Noah and Harold's Confessional
Noah and Harold exchanged grins.
"For someone who flirts with the ladies a lot, dude sure loves his candy more than anything," Harold stated.
"I'll take 'Sweet Cody' over 'Flirtatious Cody' anyday," chuckled Noah.
"Speaking of cookies, DUDE I didn't know you can cook!" Harold exclaimed.
"My sentiments exactly," Noah agreed.
Cody smiled and scratched the back of his head. "Thanks. Anyway, I should get going. Ella designed a uniform for all of us... and I'm not so sure I don't like mine. Just do me a favor and don't look for me when you reach our stall, okay?"
"Dude I'm the president so I'm afraid it's against my code to do that," Noah snickered.
"Well make me an exception for once!" Cody said before running to look for his stall.
Meanwhile, Harold and Noah walked over to Izzy's stall.
"Oh boy, anything Izzy sells can't be good," Harold whispered.
"Duly noted," Noah whispered back before turning to Izzy. "Whatcha got, Iz?"
"Okay, I hope you're wearing socks because they WILL get knocked off when you try this!" Izzy lifted the covers, revealing her latest product. "Tadah! I call it Fizzy Juice!"
Noah and Harold stared at it shockingly. It was an orange-like drink with dozens of air bubbles bursting from the surface.
"Um... is this safe?" Noah asked.
"Of course it is! I tested it out on an intern. That intern ran miles away and never came back! Imagine how much work we could get done just by taking one sip!" Izzy explained.
"That certainly sounds beneficial," Noah commented with sarcasm dripping from every word. "Just follow me for a sec. I think we need to discuss this product with Chef for a moment."
"Can I come?" Harold asked.
"If you don't want to kill yourself with boredom you don't have to. You can stay here and watch," Noah answered. "Come on, Izzy."
Izzy nodded and followed suit.
"I'm on it!" Harold promised. After a few minutes of guarding the stand, Harold started to get bored.
"Hey there, Ginger Biscuit!" called a sassy voice. Harold perked up at the sound of his Leshawna's voice.
"Leshawna, hey!" Harold greeted.
"Watcha doin' here?"
"Oh you know, guarding this stand like my life depends on it," Harold answered.
"Save the 'drama' for someone who cares," Leshawna snorted teasingly.
"Like you?" Harold flirted.
"Harold, you really are something," Leshawna chuckled. While the couple continued to exchange sweet nothings, Courtney snuck up from behind one of the lockers and leaped behind the stand. Taking the bottle, she slipped in an energy drink, causing the juice to fizz up more. Unfortunately, Harold was too distracted to hear it.
"This'll teach Noah and Chris that inexperienced psycho-nerds are nowhere near ready in taking on this sort of business," she mumbled to herself then returned it back on the stand and left.
Courtney's Confessional
"What? You think I'm the bad guy here!? Once they realize how dumb their idea was maybe they'll start listening to me and the entire school will be a hundred times safer especially with me as president! Call me ambitious but I'm just thinking about the welfare and safety of everyone in this school!"
"Hey Leshawna?" Harold began.
"Yes sweetie?" Leshawna answered
"You wanna know what my definition of perfection is?"
"Oh, do tell."
"I just did: you," Harold swooned.
"Hey, lovebirds, how's the stand going?" Noah greeted blankly.
"It's going great. But not as great as my fair Leshawna," Harold sighed. Noah rolled his eyes and gave Harold a slap.
"OH! GOSH! What's wrong with you!?"
"Sorry, I thought you were stuck in your own sick fantasies again. Sorry, Leshawna."
"Don't be. I get freaked out too sometimes."
"Oh, Noah, you should be my first customer!" Izzy demanded.
"Hey, just because Chef said it was okay to sell this crud that doesn't mean I'm going to try it," Noah declined.
"Please!" Izzy begged. "You could use a bit of pizzaz in your life!"
"Yeah, dude, live a little," Harold added. Leshawna nodded in agreement.
"Listen to the geek, Noah-it-all," Courtney stepped in. "You'll never get a girlfriend with that lame attitude of yours."
Noah's rage returned and slammed his fist on the desktop of the stand. Then he snatched a cup full of the juice from Izzy's hand. "Give me that!"
Izzy's Confessional
"Okay since when did Noah get so triggered?" then she gasped. "Could it be? Noah's desperate!? I must find out for sure! It's time to channel my inner E-Scope!"
Harold, Leshawna and Izzy watched in shock as Noah chugged the whole drink down from the large cup.
"I... do NOT... need... a... GIRLFRIEND!" he snapped. As in FULL-ON snapped! He placed his hands underneath the top of the stand and literally flipped it over, causing everyone to gasp in shock. His demeanor change. Even his eyes shrunk and burned with raging insanity. He then snapped a piece of wood from the stand and glared daggers at Courtney.
"Uh...oh..." Courtney mumbled. Within seconds, she was sent running and screaming throughout the school with Noah chasing her. Normally he sucked at sports but WOW can he run fast on a sugar high. He easily caught up to her before slipping and hitting himself against the dead-end lockers when Courtney turned around.
"You're CRAZY!" Courtney screamed.
"YOU STARTED IT, YOU INFERIOR, REBEL-LOVING DRAMA QUEEN!" Noah screamed back. Courtney's screaming and Noah's battle cry were so loud some of the classes were delayed because everyone had to see the ongoing commotion.
"Oh my, that aura!" Dawn commented.
"WOO! Get her, Noah, get her!" Sugar screamed.
"What is going on here?!" Dave exclaimed.
"I think your cousin's gone bonkers, dude!" Tyler answered.
Dave's Confessional
"Man, and I thought I was insane!"
"Izzy! What was in that drink?!" Harold yelled.
"I-I don't know! My Fizzy Juice never made anyone THAT insane before. She knelt to the ground to where the drink had now spilled, slid a finger across the floor, and licked it.
"Ew! That's just nasty, girl!" Leshawna gagged.
"That doesn't taste right..."
"Duh, because it's been mixed with floor cleaners and shoe-dirt!" Harold sighed.
"No! I mean I don't remember putting an energy drink with THIS flavor in it. Someone spite my drink!" Izzy exclaimed angrily.
"What?! No way! I was guarding it!"
"Well maybe you were mostly flirting with your girlfriend to guard it!" Izzy argued.
"Hey, don't blame my fair Leshawna!" Harold shot back.
"I was blaming YOU!"
"Okay, fair enough. But I'm not the one who spite your drink!"
"Then there's only ONE suspect for that!"
"...Me?"
"Duh, of course not! That one suspect is Noah's new victim. Come on, we got to stop them before he literally kills her! I mean, normally I wouldn't care, but you know... the law."
"How do we calm him down!?" Leshawna asked.
"Easy, we just use the one thing that makes anyone sleepy: dairy," Izzy answered then took out a small bottle from her shirt. "And this antidote in case something bad happens. If I can slip this into some kind of liquid like milk, we'll be able to stop him!"
Harold gasped. "I know a place! Follow me."
Harold's Confessional
"Gosh. Remind me never to make Noah mad after he drinks Fizzy Juice..."
Meanwhile, Cody recently took out a tray of cookies from the oven to test if they were ready. "Whoa, you guys! You got to try this!"
"Oh goodie!" Ella chirped before trying one. "Oh my goodness, these cookies taste great! Who knew you were such a good cook!"
Cody smiled and blushed. "Hey, I may have been spoiled by my parents but that doesn't mean I can't do anything. Do you think dipping cookies in milk can make you sleepy?"
"Oh, that always worked on me when I was a kid!" Zoey chimed in. While no one was looking, Cody took a three cookies and stuffed them in his pocket. All of a sudden, everyone in the stand began to hear an echoing cry which was somehow getting louder.
"What was that?!" DJ asked.
"What-or whoever that was, they're coming our way!" Zoey cried. "Wait.. is that... Courtney!?"
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Courtney screamed. Behind her they saw a rabid Noah chasing her furiously.
"Noah!?" Cody stammered.
Behind them were other students following them before panicking at where they were about to collapse.
"Oh my gosh, Zoey look out!" Mike exclaimed.
"NO! NOT THE CUPCAKES!" Owen wailed.
"Cody!" Samey added.
*WHAM!*
The entire stand was in shambles and all the sweets were everywhere. All who were in it were covered in baking ingredients. Everyone went rushing to their aid. Mike and Cameron rushed to Zoey's side.
"Zoey, are you okay!?" Cameron asked worriedly.
"I'm fine..." Zoey coughed then sadly stared at her now ruined cupcakes. "Oh... I spent all day trying to get those right."
"It's okay. Your safety is all that matters," Mike said as he embraced her deeply, causing her to sigh in his arms.
"DJ! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Katie asked while Sadie helped him up.
"Yeah, I'm fi-Oh no! My cake is ruined!" DJ cried.
"It's okay... a sad aura is better than no aura," Dawn assured him then tried a piece, though it was ruined. "It still tastes good!"
DJ smiled and blushed. "Thanks, Dawn."
"Ella!" Topher screamed. When he pulled Ella out, her entire blouse was covered in pie filling.
"My pie is ruined!" Ella sobbed softly. Topher pulled her in to hush her. "Hey it's okay. You can always make another. And I'll sacrifice every bit of perfection I have to help you make it look and taste better," he promised.
"Oh Topher!" Ella smiled happily.
"CODY!" Sierra cried as she dug Cody up from the remaining wood.
"Ah... am I dead...? Wait, where's Noah!?" Cody exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Noah was far from snapping out of his insanity. Duncan rushed over to help Courtney and glared at him.
"You're sick, dude! Once all this is over I'm so telling Chris to have you demoted!" Duncan growled.
"GO AHEAD! I DON'T CARE!"
"Oh I think you care PLENTY, Mister I'll-Never-Get-A-Girlfriend!" Courtney spat viciously.
Noah's rage built up once more. Before he could launch himself onto Duncan and Courtney, a scrawny pair of arms grabbed him from behind.
"NOAH, STOP! PLEASE!" Cody begged.
"Let GO of me, Cody!" Noah warned before breaking Cody's grip. Cody protested, but unfortunately Noah was stronger. Noah turned around and pinned Cody on the floor. The boy refused to give up and clenched onto Noah's black vest. "I said: Let. Go!" Noah snapped and grabbed Cody's wrist. The tech-geek spotted a carton of milk that was still spilling on the floor. He reached for it, then said.
"I... WON'T!" Using all his strength, he splashed what remained of the milk onto Noah's face, which caught him off guard. Then he pushed the nerd off of him until he was now on top. "Snap out of it, dude! What's wrong with you!?"
"There you guys are!" Izzy exclaimed.
"What's going on here?!" Chris stepped in.
"It was horrible! We were baking and then Courtney and Noah chased each other and slammed onto our stand!" Ella explained solemnly.
"Say what!?"
"Izzy what the heck did you do?!" Cody asked angrily while trying to keep Noah pinned. He was definitely losing.
"I'll explain everything, I swear! Harold, hold Noah down!" Harold did as told.
"This was partially my fault and I'm sorry! Someone spite Izzy's Fizzy Juice and I didn't know!"
"WHAT!? Who!?" Harold and Cody both looked at each other then glared in Courtney's direction. Duncan, who was clueless, also glared. "Courtney... what did you do this time?"
"I-It was an accident! I had no idea-" Courtney remained silent while Cody, Harold, and even Duncan kept glaring at her.
Duncan's Confessional
"Normally I like Courtney when she displays a little mischief... but enough to set Noah into chaos mode is just... evil. Just... wow. I can't tell if I'm impressed or disappointed. I don't think I've seen anyone do something more evil than that."
Izzy took a cup on the floor, and mixed the antidote with another abandoned milk carton. "Here, Cody, give him this! It's the antidote!"
"Is this safe?!"
"Is it safer than Noah killing all of us one by one?! Yeah, I thought so. Just do it!" Harold argued.
"IF YOU EVEN THINK OF LETTING ME DRINK THAT-" Noah protested, giving Cody the opportunity to slip the drink into his mouth.
"Shut up and drink!" Cody ordered.
Noah later felt like he was drowning. He immediately broke free and sat up, coughing, causing Cody to lean back and get off his lap. The bookworm groaned and rubbed his temples and his stomach painfully.
"Ugh... what have I done...?" he groaned. He lifted his head only to find Cody staring at him. "L-look, Cody... I... I'm really sorry-" Within seconds he was tackled back down with a hug.
"Don't you DARE scare us like that again!" Cody screamed. Noah blinked rapidly to process these words, then gave in and returned the hug. After letting go, he stared below Cody's face and noticed he was wearing a milky white top with rolled-up sleeves, a cookie beret, chocolate-colored shorts, brown shoes and socks that reached just below his knees. The geek realized Noah was smirking at him the moment he looked beneath his eyes. With his self-conscience returning, he quickly shielded himself with his arms and blushed furiously. "T-This was Ella's design."
"Sure it was..."
"AHEM! Can somebody tell me whose fault this was!?"
Noah looked at Izzy sadly. "Chris... it was-"
"I did it!" Courtney stood up and admitted. Everyone gasped.
"Courtney? Of all people?"
"I slipped an energy drink into Izzy's Fizzy Juice. And... I... I..."
"You're... what?" Noah waited impatiently.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
"Exsqueeze me? I didn't quite hear that," Cody said. Harold snickered alongside him.
"I said I'm sorry okay!" Courtney screamed.
"Whoa, you don't hear that everyday," Harold commented.
"I couldn't agree more," said Leshawna.
"Courtney, for making Noah ruin half of our projects, you are HEREBY demo-!" before Chris could finish, Noah intervened.
"Let me justify that, Chris," Noah ordered. "I've had it with you, Courtney. I knew you hate me but I never knew you hate me that much."
"I just didn't know it would end like this, okay!?" Courtney shot back shakily. Truthfully she didn't know what to say.
Noah sighed. "Fine. Since your position means so much to you, you can keep it. But I'm afraid I'll have to send you on a three-week probation with Chef. So make this a lesson for you: instead of fighting to take my position, why don't you fight to keep your position? I'm getting a bath." Cody and Harold looked at each other and followed.
"Noah, wait up!" Cody called.
"I'm with ya, Noah. Mama would've said the same thing," DJ agreed.
"I need to get my outfit washed..." Ella said.
"Me too," Zoey added.
"Um.. alright. Everyone who's got classes you may head back. We'll be sure to sort this whole sales thing out another day," Chris announced. Everyone agreed and headed back to their designated classrooms.
"Ahh.. finally, that's the stuff," Cody sighed as he sank half his face into the water.
"I'm feeling more tense than relaxed. Why on earth are we bathing together?!" Noah asked.
"Well for starters, we both got filthy and I haven't bathed all day because Harold kept hogging the shower," Cody explained. "Plus Harold said so."
"You really should bathe the night before like I do," Noah smirked. "And I really can't get your new look out of my head."
"Well get it out of your head right now! Wait, what's that supposed to mean?" Cody sneered.
"Nothing. It only proves my point that you're the adorable one of the group," Noah answered blankly.
Cody blushed. "Stop! I'm not cute!" he moaned.
"See? That tone is enough to make even a stone-hearted man blush," Noah commented.
"Like you?" Cody joked.
"Get wrecked."
All of a sudden, Harold came bursting into the room making both guys yelp. "Guys we have a problem!"
"I can see that considering you're invading our privacy!" Noah glowered.
"GET OUT, HAROLD!" Cody screamed while throwing a bar of soap at him.
"It's Owen! He drank Izzy's Fizzy juice! Minus Courtney's ingredient. Now he's eating every item with food on it!"
Shocked, Noah and Cody glanced at the nearby shower curtain.
"Need... FOOD!" came Owen's voice. As he burst into the bathroom, he noticed the shower curtain with cupcake prints on it then whipped it off and began chewing on it.
Noah and Cody's Confessional
"Okay, since when did we have a shower curtain with cupcake prints?!" Noah wondered.
"Uh... about that... Ella gave it to me like she did to everyone else in the group... and the other shower curtain was being washed so..." Cody explained sheepishly.
Noah rolled his eyes and palmed his head. "Ugh... give me a break."
"DON'T WORRY! E-SCOPE'S HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!" Izzy jumped onto Owen and kissed him. She had the antidote in her mouth that time.
"Ew!" Harold gagged.
"And there goes my appetite," Noah groaned.
"Make that 'our'," Cody agreed.
"Done... making out?" Noah asked rather calmly.
"Where are we...?" Owen asked.
"I'll take that as a yes," Noah said softly, before bursting into a fit of rage and threw a hairbrush at them. "NOW GET OUT OF HERE!"
"Whoa, didn't know we were interrupting a 'private matter'... hehe," Izzy chuckled.
"IZZY! OUT!" Noah snapped.
"Alright, killjoy!" and with that she left.
"I can stay right?" Harold asked, leaving Cody and Noah to glare at him. "Fine..."
"Harold wait!" Cody took his pants from the floor and took out a cookie from the front pocket. "Here."
"You made it?" Harold asked.
"Duh."
The geek smiled. "Thanks!" And away he went before closing the door on them.
Cody smiled, dug into his back and took out two more cookies. "Want one, Noah?"
"I don't know... I already lost my appetite," Noah muttered, referencing the intimate display that barged in moments ago. Cody only frowned in response. Then Noah snorted and took the cookie. "Just kidding."
"You know... you got triggered because of the no girlfriend thing right?" Cody guessed.
"I guess..."
"Doesn't that mean you do care?"
"I don't know. I've never had a girlfriend yet. And if I care, then... so what?"
Cody said nothing and took the last bite of his cookie.
So everything, Noah. So everything.
And there goes that. I had to foreshadow Nemma. It's a pretty cute couple after all, albeit I wish Noah played it out better. I suppose I enjoyed writing this chapter. There was some hilarity in there at least. All that matters is man do I miss writing... The next chapter will come soon. I don't know when but it will! The stats in this story have decreased greatly... I hope to change that until the end.
Next episode: Sugar won't stop annoying the Nerds so they try to make her stop.
There's a possibility where the episodes may change or I have to remove one to make the story shorter. That includes the episode I just mentioned. In the meantime stay tuned and we'll see where this goes!
Thanks for reading!
