Universal Runners: Countdown II 2014
Greatest School for Toons
In one of the class rooms of Fils-Aime Moffitt School, Tony and Itzal were busy discuss themselves and what they had different and in common to each other.
"So you got your Runner powers when you were hit by lightning and wearing your RunCom," Tony asked.
"Yep, and Daryl was split off from you how again?," Itzal asked.
"We split up thanks to a special artifact from Master Gared. However, we must merge to retain our separation."
"Wow, that sounds crazy."
"I know. And you know you resemble him almost to a tee. In both personality and appearance."
"Almost like a doppelganger."
"Man…"
Just then they heard snickering coming from behind the teacher's desk. Tony then walked over to it, and pulled out none other than…
"Bloo! What are you doing spying on us?"
"Spying is a strong word, I prefer eavesdropping and also, the last thing I need is two of you getting on my case," he said. Next thing he knew, Bloo was thrown out of the room by both of them. He glared at them as he shut the door. "Jerks!"
Later, in the Mid-Zone Lounge, the UR cast was reclining, resting for awhile.
"Man, you know it's good to kick back and relax sometimes," Jordan said.
"I know what you mean," Bren said.
"Probably because that's all you ever do," Zeus quipped.
"Shut up, Twinkle-Starr," Bren snapped.
"Okay, okay, cool it guys," Calla said. "But you know I'm eager to get back to filming UR soon. I don't want to be on hiatus forever you know."
"We know just how you feel," a voice said. The UR cast looked to see the ToonSchool gang walk in.
"Hey guys," Jordan greeted them.
"Hey," Daryl said. "We know just how you feel about being on hiatus, and how painful it could be."
"Yeah, we were gone for a whole year due to production issues with the Revolution Wars special," Blossom said.
"Yeah, that was painful, dawgs," Jake said. "But we managed to return in the summer and put out a bunch of new episodes."
"Yeah, but now we're on hold again for about three months now, due to Runner and Nash focusing on UR and the Arcanum special," Jimmy added in.
"But hopefully, we're gonna get back to work soon, and have Season 1 finished by Summer 2014," Bubbles put in.
"Hopefully," Jordan said. "In the meantime, here's a couple of clips for future episodes."
Scene #1:
"I don't get it, man," Tony said to Adam. "You said we were genuine talent before, man. Why do you need more time to think?"
"Well, I do think y'all are genuine," Adam responded. It's just when I was looking up your videos on the web, I saw one of you dressed up in those costumes singing about your favorite foods and stuff."
"Hey, that was a just one-time thing," Danny said. "A friend of our hired those kiddie entertainers, the Bubba-Gammas for his niece's birthday, but they cancelled the day before, and our friend asked us to fill in."
"Yeah, it was just a favor to a friend," June said. "We take our music very seriously."
"That's right, we're really serious musicians. Honest!," Bubbles said.
"I'm sure, but, it's just with you dressing up like that and singing songs like this one, it's not the image I'm looking for for the label," Adam said. "So I'm gonna need to do some serious thinking on this one."
The Toonsters looked down in disappointment. Just then, Vicky, Princess, and Mindy ran up in front of them, and started singing a Britney Spears song, hoping to impress Adam. Unfortunately, they were way off-key:
All:(off-key) Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
"Uh, you might wanna start running for you're car, like right now," Timmy said. Immediately, taking his words to heart, Adam ran to his car, used his rubber-like powers to slip through the window, started it up and drove off. The three Snobs chased after him, still singing horribly, and still failing to impress him.
"Get away from my car!," Adam shouted.
Scene #2:
Tony picked up his phone as the gang watched.
"Hello?," he answered. "Oh, hello sir. Yeah she's here, why do you need to–oh I see, I get her here."
He turned back to the gang.
"Hey Bubbles, it's for you."
Bubbles, afraid that she knew who was on the other line, took the phone from Tony.
"H-hello?," she said trembling.
"TWO D'S AND FOUR F'S?!," the angry voice of Professor Utonium rang throughout the room. "I am most disappointed in you, young lady!"
"But Professor, there has to be an misunderstanding about this!"
"There is no misunderstanding about you doing so poorly in all of your classes."
"But–"
"No buts, Bubbles. You've proven here that you can't be trusted here with this band and these distractions! I'm sending you to boarding school back in Townsville!"
"But don't I get a say in this?"
"NO!"
Utonium hung up and started to tear up as the gang watched.
"Bubbles are you okay?," Mac asked.
"What happened," Tommy added.
"Are you grounded?," Lilo asked.
"Worse…," Bubbles said softly before crying out, "THE PROFESSOR'S SENDING ME TO BOARDING SCHOOL BACK IN TOWNSVILLE!"
The whole gang gasped in shock and horror. Bubbles, the heart and soul of their circle, was being sent away?
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!," Timmy cried out so loud that it could be heard from space.
"That doesn't look good for you guys," Jordan said.
"Yeah, but it all works out in the end," Mac told her.
"Yeah, but you'll have to wait and see how for yourself," Lilo said.
"But it hopefully won't be too much of a wait!," Buttercup added.
"And it looks like we have another performance coming up by the Toonsters, who have already left to get ready," Jordan said.
"Yeah, this song is a special one that tries to disuade bullying and reaches out to not just the bullied, but the bullies too," Daryl said.
"I know. So here, singing Britt Nicole's 'Gold', here are the Toonsters," Jordan said as the scene chenged.
Outside at the performance stage, the crowd cheered loudly for the next performance. Soon, upbeat pop music started as the Toonsters took their places onstage. Bubbles then kicked things off with the first lines:
All: Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bubbles: You were walking on the moon,
Now you're feeling low oh oh...
What they said wasn't truuuue, you're bea-tif-ul...
Sticks and stones break your bones,
I know what you're feeling
Words like those, won't steal your glow,
You're one in a million
All: This is for all the girls,
Boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told,
You're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high,
It's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows,
You're worth more than gold
(Gold, gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold, gold, you're gold)
The rest of the band then took their hand at singing the next lines.
Danny: Well everybody keeps score,
I bet you're gonna looose...
Timmy: Just ignore,
They don't know the real you
June: All the rain in the sky,
Can't put out your fire
Jimmy: Beyond the stars out tonight,
You shine brighter!
All: This is for all the girls,
Boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told,
You're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high,
It's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows,
You're worth more than gold
(Gold, gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold, gold, you're gold)
Tony and Jake then took to rapping the hook.
Jake: So don't let anybody tell you
That you're not loved
And don't let anybody tell you
That you're not enough
Tony: Yeah there are days when we all feel like
We're messed up
But the truth is that
We're all diamonds in the rough
Bubbles: So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen
Inside and out
You glow like the moon, You shine like the stars
This is for you, wherever you are...
(Yeah... yeah, eh, yeah
You're goooollllld...)
All: This is for all the girls,
Boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told,
You're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high,
It's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows,
You're worth more than gold
(Gold, gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold, gold, you're gold)
Bubbles: So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen
Inside and out
The song ended and the crowd cheered illustriously for the Toonsters who took a bow to the crowd.
"Thank you very much everybody," Tony said.
"And remember, you're all worth more than gold!," Bubbles said. "Happy New Year!"
The crowd cheered as the band left the stage.
