Time Fixers: Nicktoons of the Future

Episode 9: Cousin Calamity

Plot: It's a child's worst nightmare - for Tommy and Tammy that is. Timmy has invited their cousin, Mickey, to visit... who's the son of Vicky the Babysitter! Like his mother, Mickey is just as mean and evil to his cousins. If bullying and babysitting them wasn't enough, Jimmy has invited Mickey to join the Nicktoons! Will the twins convince their father and friends that this "good-mannered" child isn't who he seems? Meanwhile, Mickey's wild side wins the friendship of Yuki and the Cadets, leaving Crash out. Thus Crash gives up being a stuntman to become a "normal" child.

Part 2

That night at the Turner residence, the twins and Poof are in big trouble after what their friends told Jimmy Neutron...who later called Timmy Turner. Tamm and Tommy sat on the couch as Timmy stood in front of them, scolding his children.

"Creating a villain, putting your teammates in danger, causing a blackout on the city block," Timmy listed off everything they were in trouble for. "What do you have to say for yourselves?"

"But it's not our fault." Tammy said defensively.

"Mickey started it!" Tommy accused, "He-"

"Saved your friends before you two could cause more damage," Timmy finished, "Worse, you abused Poof's power. Even Cosmo and Wanda are ashamed."

On a table near the front door, Timmy's fairies in goldfish form were glaring at Poof with their arms crossed. Poof chuckled nervously and hid behind their castle.

"Shame on both of them," Mickey said, disappointedly while hiding a smirk on his face, "Using their poor yet cool-looking weapon for their own selfish needs."

"And you two do know that Jimmy could exempt you two from the Nicktoons with the way to two are behaving." Timmy sternly explained.

"Yes…" Tommy and Tammy answered, bowing their heads.

"I talked to him and he's gonna give you one more chance," Timmy assured, but still looked stern, "However, you two are grounded for a month. No fan-club… no video games…" he said, grabbing Tommy's game console, "And…no magic."

"Poof?" Poof asked as reappears next to his godkids in normal form.

"You mean Poof can't wis-I mean automatically give us whatever we want?" Tommy asked.

"But Poof needs us or else he'll have Magical Built-I mean, he'll blow up within 24 hours if not used," Tammy explained, aware of Mickey who still thinks Poof is some sort of shape-shifting weapon.

"Then maybe Poof should have a more appropriate owner, someone who can handle things on his own and needs him whenever trouble comes," Timmy said and turns his eyes over to...Mickey.

At this, Mickey grinned happily while Tammy and Tommy gasp in shock. "You wouldn't!" they yelled in shock.

"Sorry, but after what's happened, I think he deserves Poof more than you!" Timmy said and snaps his fingers. Cosmo and Wanda raise their wands into the air. Poof bows his head as he disappears in front of Tommy and Tammy, but reappears next to Mickey.

"But Dad, he's ours." Tammy cried out.

"We love him." Tommy added. "Mickey doesn't deserve someone like Poof."

"Well, until your punishment's over and you learn to be nicer to your cousin, you can't have Poof with you." Timmy told them. "Now go to your room."

"But... But..." the twins began.

"Unless you two have an explanation as to why you want to get rid of Mickey?"

Tommy and Tammy turn their eyes to Mickey who coughed, "Talent show" without their father noticing.

"No," the twins moan and slowly walk upstairs as Poof watches sadly.

"AWESOME!" Mickey said, grabbing Poof and hugging him until the poor fairy baby can't breathe, "I got my own little friend to play with." He holds Poof in the air, "Now we can have all KINDS of fun with my darling cousins." Poof gulped, having an uneasy feeling.

That morning, the twins were sleeping in the bunk beds when Tommy woke up first. He hops out of bed and heads to the bathroom. "Ugh…I had a horrible nightmare last night," he said, yawning, "I dreamt that our evil cousin came to visit and he took Poof as his own fairy godparent..." But when he opens the bathroom door, he screams in horror as a large purple lion roars at him.

As Tommy cowered against the wall, the lion let out a "Poof" and Mickey appeared in the doorway laughing. "Good morning, Cousin." he said cynically. "I was just having fun with my new friend. And you're right, he is awesome."

Mickey hears Tammy yawning, about to wake up. Mickey chuckled evilly, "I think the little miss needs a wake-up call." Poof sighs and disappears, reappearing next to Tammy as a purple foghorn. He blew a loud horn in Tammy's ears as her eyes shot open and she screamed, flying out of bed.

Mickey laughed again as Poof reappeared next to him, frowning sadly. "Thanks again for your special weapon, guys. I'm sure it'll come in very handy the next time we fight a bad guy." he continued laughing as he and Poof leave the room.

Eventually, the two decided not to go to HQ due to Mickey being there and wanted to eat their sorrows away to the least likely place that Mickey, not even the Nicktoons, would hang out at… Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Parlor. "Two Goofy Goober Berry Sunrises for the mister and his sis," a SpongeTron waiter served up.

"Thanks." Tommy said depressively as he and Tammy sat at the bar counter.

The robot gives them their ice cream, but the twins feel too miserable to even eat it. Tammy takes a spoonful, but sighs and drops the spoon and Tommy just keeps poking it. Finally, Tommy had enough and smacks away the sweet dish. "I can't believe this! Mickey has everyone on our side against us! Our dad's on his side, Neutron, our friends, even Poof! That brat doesn't even deserve to have our fairy goduncle."

"We have no choice," Tammy said, looking at her sundae dully, "He's Vicky's son. Like her, he's very manipulative..."

"AND evil!"

"And as long as he has that stupid humiliating home video of us, he'll do anything to make us miserable and get what he wants. He won…"

"No, he won't!" Tommy pounds his fists on the counter, "There has to be some way to prove Mickey isn't what people think he is!"

Then, a young lad enters the bar and sits across from where Tommy and Tammy are. It was a yellow sponge with red hair sticking out and blue eyes, wearing a white shirt, grayish green pants, and white sneakers. Tommy and Tammy stare at him strangely as the boy waves back. Tommy waves back uneasily. "Uh…do we know you?" Tammy asked.

"Ah... welcome back, Creator's son," the ST-Unit greeted to the sponge boy while wiping a glass dish, "It's been a while."

"SpongeBob has another kid?" Tommy asked.

"It can't be," Tammy said, "We already know all of his ki-" but the twins stare when they notice the bandages on his face, "CRASH?!"

The sponge turns to them and speaks in a southern drawl, "Well, howdy Tammy and Tommy. Fancy seein' y'all here."

"Crash? Is that really you?" Tammy asked surprisingly.

"Uh-huh," he nodded, "Oh, and it's not Crash. It's 'Sydney'."

Tommy almost choked as he snickered, "S-S-Sydney? That's your real name?" then, Tommy laughs so hard, pounding on the table.

Tammy lets out some giggles as she also asks, "...And have you always had red hair?"

"Why 'course. Must be cuz y'all always see me in my ridiculous stunt outfit as I stuck to that silly nickname," Crash, now Sydney, states.

Tommy and Tammy stop laughing, realizing how serious he is. "What can I get for you?" the waiter asked.

"One plain vanilla please," Sydney asked to the twins' surprise.

"Vanilla? But Rocky Road's your favorite!" Tammy exclaimed.

"It WAS my favorite." Sydney responded seriously. "But now I'm walkin' on a straight path and givin' up my life of livin' extreme."

"How come?"

Sydney explained, "That last battle made me realize somethin'. That Mickey fella is a lot better at being the extreme one. My friends think he's a lot cooler and Yuki likes him better- not that I ever yearned that way. But if I can never be that good at livin' the dangerous life, then I shouldn't live that way."

"But Crash- I mean, Sydney." Tommy began to explain, but giggled at the name. "That's no reason to give up what you love."

"Yeah," Tammy added. "And besides, Mickey isn't cool or extreme. He's a jerk who likes tricking and blackmailing people and always tries to get what he wants."

"Now, now," Sydney just said in a calm tone. "I know you fellers are just tryin' to make me feel better about myself." he took his vanilla ice-cream and stood up from his chair. "But the stuntman known as 'Crash' is no more. From now on, the normal kid known as 'Sydney' is here to stay."

Tommy snickered more, hearing the name as Tammy glares at him. When the sponge formally known as Crash walked away, Tammy groaned angrily and said, "Now look what Mickey's done. He killed Crash and replaced him with a boring clone."

"Well, it's just Crash." Tommy said until he snickered some more. "I mean, Sydney. I'm sure he'll get over it once Twitchy and Junior talk him out of it." but then his Recaller beeped and he answered it, "This is Tommy."

On the other line was Darry, who told them worriedly. "Hey guys, it's me. Can you come over to my place and bring Crash and Twitchy? We got a bit of an emergency here."

Tommy scoffed, "Why don't you let your new friend, Mickey, do it?!"

"The signals in your Recallers say you're both in Bikini Bottom." Darry exasperatingly said. "And it's important. Junior snuck in here last night and he won't go home. He says he's too afraid because it's underwater and there could be snakes there."

"Great! Another of Mick's ploys…"

Then, Yuki speaks on the Recaller, "Will you quit the 'Mickey being a jerk' and meet us? Mickey's already getting Twitch so you two try to find Crash and meet us in the basement at Fenton Works."

Then the Recaller cuts out as Tommy puts it down. "Great, how are we gonna tell the Cadets that 'Sydney' has left the dangerous side," Tammy said, but stared at Tommy laughing once more. "Oh grow up, will you?" Tammy said and dragged him out of the ice cream bar.

In the basement in Fenton Works, Yuki has hung up the Recaller and Junior is clutching to Darry uncomfortably. "Junior, your parents and sibs are worried sick," he said, "You gotta head back to Bikini Bottom."

"But I can't go back home." Junior cried out as he stayed clutched to Darry's legs. "It's in the ocean. I don't like the ocean."

"You're a sea sponge. You LIVE in the ocean," Kida pointed out dully.

Then a POOF came out and Mickey appears, holding Twitchy by the overalls. To everyone's surprise, Poof was beside him but looking uninterested. "Got Squirrel Boy here," Mickey said, dropping him, "So where to next?"

"We have to wait for your cousins and Junior's older brother," SpongeTron said as he pushed Max away in his walker, "You've seen him?"

Twitchy got up, "No,Ihaven'tseenCrash. He'sbeenmopingaroundallday. ALL DAY!"

"Then, where is he?" Yuki asked, looking concerned.

"Oh, forget about him!" Mickey said, taking out Poof and pulling him up and down like he's a yo-yo. "Let's go out there and fight some bad guys! Be cool and famous, and grab some dough."

"Uh-ah-ah!" SpongeTron pointed out, wagging his finger. "We're not Nicktoons because of the gold and glory. We're Nicktoons because we save the world and help people."

Mickey stares at him and throws Poof aside. "Well, that's BORING!" Mickey complained, lying against the wall, unknowingly pressing a button.

Suddenly, the Fenton Portal opens, creating a swirling green vortex. Junior is instantly sucked into the portal. He yelps and clutches to Darry, bringing him with him. "Darry!" Yuki and Kida cried when both are sucked into the portal as well. Then, SpongeTron and Twitchy are sucked in too.

Poof is about to be sucked when Mickey grabs his "prize", "Oh no you don't!" he yelled, but the two are finally sucked into the vortex.

Max watches in stun as the Portal closes with no way out and Darry's Recaller falls on the metal floor. "Oopsie…" he said.

Back at Bikini Bottom, Tommy and Tammy run after Sydney when he was heading home. "Crash!" Tammy called out. "I mean, Sydney! Wait up!"

Tommy continued to cover his mouth from laughing as Sydney continues to walk away. Tammy sped up and goes in front of him. "Come on, Sydney. This isn't the real you! Where's the Crash we know that LOVES to do extreme stunts and gets hurt really bad without even caring, and loves being part of the Nicktoon Cadets?"

"I told y'all before that the old Crash is long gone." Sydney stubbornly explained. "I'm Sydney. Sydney Ishmael Cheeks-SquarePants. The safest rascal who would never do anything darin' and is always safe." he peels off one of his bandages and winces as the sticky substance pulls at his skin.

"But we really need your help right now." Tommy points out. "Your baby brother is scared out of his square pants right now because of that movie you guys saw yesterday. He's too afraid to come back to his own home."

Sydney sighs, "Well, since I'm changed and no longer into this actiony stuff, I guess talkin' to my lil' brother would be alright."

"Great." Tommy says as he grabs the sponge's hand. "Let's go over to Darry's place," he quietly chuckles, "Sydney."

Soon, the kids head over to Fenton Works, but did not find Darry or any of their friends anywhere in sight. "That's weird." Tammy said as she looked around, puzzled. "Darry told us he and the others would be here."

"Either Mickey told them to go somewhere else more 'fun'," Tommy groaned, "Or...he's showing the vid in front of our friends." He gulped and shuddered.

Suddenly, they hear crying coming from somewhere. "Do y'all hear that?" Sydney asked.

They head to the kitchen where the crying grew louder. "It's coming from the basement," Tammy said, pointing to the lab's entrance.

They head downstairs into the ghost lab where they find Max by himself, crying loudly in his walker. "Max!" Tammy called out as she rushed over and picked Max out of his walker and calmed him down. "There, there, Max. What are you doing down here all alone?"

"If he's here, then where are SpongeTron and Darry?" Tommy curiously asked. "Where's everyone else?"

Somewhere in the Ghost Zone are Darry, SpongeTron, Poof, and the Cadets as they are stranded on a floating crater with specters roaming around. Mickey looks frightened as the specters past them. He screams, "Where the heck are we!? How did we get here? Why is it so dark?!Why are there spooky ghosties here?!"

"'Spooky ghosties'?" Kida repeated as Twitchy chuckled.

"Uh, let me put this in order," Darry sighed, "This is the Ghost Zone! We came here through the portal YOU opened. It's dark and full of ghosts because of the fact that it is a different dimension and home to billions of ghosts here."

"Oh no. If we're stranded out here, we could drown or worse, the snakes might swim here and eat us!" Junior cried hysterically, pulling down his hat.

"We're not in water; we're in the Ghost Zone." Kida reminded angrily. "And in case you forgot, YOU LIVE IN WATER!"

"Well, I'm consi-siddating Mommy that we can move to Texas."

"There's rattlesnakes in Texas," SpongeTron stated.

"EEEK!" Junior shrieked as he clutched onto SpongeTron while Twitchy tried to pry him off of the robot before his little brother crushed him.

During the commotion, Mickey looked at Poof and suddenly got an idea. "Maybe you guys have no way outta here, but I do." Mickey snaps his fingers, "I wish I was outta of this scary place."

Poof sighs and shakes his rattle but the sparkles in the rattle faded, "Poof?"

Mickey opens his eyes to find out he's still in the Ghost Zone. "I'm still here…" Mickey said nervously, but calmed down and snaps his finger. "Come on! Let's move it!"

"Poof, poof." Poof said as he looked at his rattle and glared at Mickey.

"Uh, you do know the Ghost Zone interferes with his magic," Yuki points out.

"So, he can't get us out either," Darry added.

"What?!" Mickey yelled in anger as he grabbed Poof and yelled at him in the face. "Then what good are you?"

"Hey, you can't yell at Poof like that." Darry scolded to Mickey. "He belongs to Tammy and Tommy."

"He BELONGED to Tammy and Tommy." Mickey as he held Poof under his arm. "After all, they said I could have him."

Darry was surprised by this. "What? That doesn't sound like Tammy and Tommy."

"You'd be surprised." Mickey said carelessly. "Now how are we supposed to get out of here?"

Suddenly, they hear a loud moaning. Mickey almost turned white as he glances around to see a couple of ghosts spotting the group of stranded humans. "Stand your ground, guys." Darry instructed as he changed to ghost form. "We can take 'em."

He charges his ghost rays, SpongeTron holds up his plasma ray, Kida steadies her staff and the rest are in a fighting stance. However, Mickey screamed and ran off, surprising the other group who unwillingly follow him with the ghosts giving chase.

Yuki ran next to him as she asked, "Mickey, what are you doing? You're a Nicktoon, you're supposed to fight!"

"You guys fight!" Mickey shouted back. "I'm outta here!"

As Darry flew from behind, he reached into his belt, but could not find his Recaller. "You gotta be kidding me." he groaned.

Back in the Fenton Lab, Tammy and Tommy were pacing around worriedly, wondering what could've happened to their friends. "Do you think a ghost attacked when they were down here?" Tammy guessed.

"One ghost against all of them, that can't be right." Tommy pointed out.

But Max went over to the portal and pointed at it. "Nicktoon!" he shouted.

The twins realize and Tommy pushes a button opening the portal. "They must be in the Ghost Zone, we gotta help them!"

Tammy nods and spots the Specter Speeder. The twins hop inside. Tammy turns to Sydney. "You watch Maxie while we're gone and make sure the Portal stays open."

Sydney grabbed a hold of Max's walker and replied, "Sure nuff." he seemed to admire Max's walker for a second, but quickly shook it off.

Back in the Ghost Zone, the ghosts still followed the Nicktoons and the Cadets. Darry, SpongeTron, and Kida all fire their attacks at the ghosts while Poof stared at Mickey and insists, "Poof and Mickey fight!"

"I order you to shut up!" Mickey yelled as he glared at Poof.

As Twitchy kept the terrified Junior safe, Yuki turned to Mickey and said, "You do know that you're supposed to be helping my brother since you're a part of his team."

"I'm helping." Mickey pointed out with a nervous grin. "I'm helping by making sure my team doesn't mess up."

As the three fight against the ghosts, a green blast suddenly hit the ghosts, causing them to evaporate into mist. Darry, Kida, and SpongeTron turn their heads to see the Specter Speeder drive near them with the twins at the wheel. Tammy was driving as Tommy activated the weapons to defeat the ghosts. "Tommy! Tammy!" Poof cheered joyfully and floated upwards to them.

"Glad to see you, Poofie!" Tommy greeted.

"Hey!" the twins hear yelling from below and look down. "About time you twerps showed up!" Mickey yelled, "Now get me outta this place and give me back my weapon. Your dad gave him to me fair and square!"

"I thought you said Tommy and Tammy gave Poof to you," Darry said suspiciously.

Mickey froze and tried to make up an excuse, "Well...of course they did. Uncle Turner said I was more responsible to handle the stinky shape-shifting baby on my own than those two."

"Oh really? Cuz so far, you haven't helped in anything since we got here," SpongeTron told him.

As the Nicktoons and Cadets look at him suspiciously, Junior notices the misty remains of the ghosts began to reform. "Um...guys?"

The older kids didn't pay attention, more focused on Mickey. Mickey had enough and grabs Poof, clutching him like a present. "Now lookie here, I didn't just fake my niceness so I can ditch military school and blackmail the tweens so they wouldn't snitch on me. I deserve this weapon so I can get WHATEVER I want as long as Uncle Bucktooth still believes me, and I don't want my bratty cousins or you guys to get in my way!"

The Nicktoons are shocked at what Mickey said, but even more shocked to see the thing that formed behind Mickey. Junior's eyes widen in horror as the thing hissed and Mickey hasn't noticed. "So, you geeks gonna back off or will I have to dig up some dirt on you too?" Mickey asked as he stared at them, waiting for an answer.

Junior points behind Mickey and cries out, "S-S-S-SNAKE!"

Mickey finally turns around to notice a large green snake formed by all the defeated ghosts. Seeing this, Mickey got a terrified look as he screamed loudly, "AAAAHHH!" The ghost snake hissed as it stared at Mickey holding Poof. He stares at the fairy baby, and to the twins' shock, throws him aside. "Here! Take him!" he yelled and ran off screaming. The snake hisses and strikes at Poof, but Poof quickly flies away dodging its attacks.

Tommy quickly opens the door to the Specter Speeder and jumps out of it. "Poof!" he calls out as he falls. The fairy baby sees him and 'poofs' away and reappears in Tommy's hands as a new weapon: purple double chain hammers.

The snake hisses as it strikes at the boy, but Tommy moves out of the way and throws the chain hammer, injuring the snake. The snake hisses in pain and rises up with the chain, pulling Tommy out. Tammy quickly maneuvers the Speeder to shoot lasers at the giant snake, but it didn't stun him like the other ghosts before.

Back in the real world, Sydney was waiting for Tommy and Tammy to arrive and bring back their friends. He looked at the clock and said, "Boy, they sure are takin' longer than a snail makin' its way from Florida."

"SponTwon..." Max almost teared up until he thinks of something and moves his walker away from Sydney.

Sydney ponders what to do, "If I were what I previously was, I would barge in to save 'em from whatever they're up against." Sydney was close to jumping in the portal, but froze. He did not notice Max using tools from the lab such as a blowtorch to make modifications to his walker. Sydney then sat on the ground and smiled. "But now that I'm no longer the reckless daredevil I once was, I'll just wait here patiently until they return."

As Max tinkers with his walker, Sydney thinks to himself, "I wonder what it is them normal kids do. Max?" he looks around noticing Max no longer at his side. "Max?" Max then drove his walker toward Sydney who noticed a strange new modification to his walker. "Has that always been there?" Sydney asked.

In the Ghost Zone, the twins were fighting the snake, but to no prevail. As Tommy tried to hold the snake down with the chains of his weapon, Darry and SpongeTron both grab a hold of the chain to try and help, but even with their combined efforts, it was too much for them. As Yuki watched, she quickly turned to the cowering Junior and said, "Junior, I think you should help Tommy and the others. They need your monster strength."

"Monster?!" Junior asked in panic. "Where?"

"Yeah,Junior!" Twitchy said rapidly. "GohelptheNicktoons!Go!"

"But the snake will eat me." Junior cried out. "Just like the one in the movie did to that swim team."

"But remember at the end of the movie?" Kida mentions, "Even though the lifeguard and his sister weren't able to stop the snake, the Navy officer came in time to defeat the snake and save everyone!"

"But I'm not in the Navy," Junior mentions, "If Tommy and Tammy can't stop it, then who will?"

Once Tommy threw the hammer, the snake grabs it with its mouth and threw Tommy and Poof into the air. "Tommy!" Tammy cried as the snake holds its mouth open, waiting for a meal. The Nicktoons gasp in horror as Tommy and Poof (in normal form) are about to fall into the snake's throat when something grabs them before the snake chomps down.

Tommy and Poof open their eyes to see Sydney holding them by the back of their clothes as he stood on Max's walker that was flying through the air by its new rockets. "Sydney!" Tommy called out in joy to see him.

The others were surprised to see Max in a flying baby walker, but even more surprised to see who was with him. "Who is that?" Darry asked, not recognizing Crash in his new appearance.

"It's Crash!" Twitchy shouted as he and Junior recognize their brother.

"Crash?" Yuki questioned oddly. "Seriously?"

Sydney and Max place Tommy and Poof on the ground next to the other Nicktoons. Sydney takes Max and gives him to SpongeTron. "Junior, it's about time you see your big bro handle things," Sydney says and sits on the walker which hovers toward the snake. "Hey, ya scaly varmint!" Sydney called out. "I'm about hogtie you into a big fancy knot!"

Poof changes into a chain hammer again and Tommy throws one end of the hammer toward Crash, who catches it and flies around the snake, who tries to bite at him. Sydney continues to fly around the snake until he reaches the tail. Tommy, Darry, Yuki, Kida, Twitchy, and Junior pull onto the chain pulling the giant snake as it plummets into the crater defeated.

Junior jumps in glee as he claps his hand. "Hey! I conquered my fear!"

Tammy smiled in joy as she shouted from in the Specter Speeder, "You did it! You guys did it!"

"Yeah! All thanks to Sydney!" Tommy said, but chuckled some more.

"No! Not Sydney!" the ten-year-old sponge said, taking out his old helmet from the walker and places it back on his head, "It's Crash! The greatest stuntsponge in Bikini Bottom who was able to conquer this here snakie." Crash hovers back to the Speeder as Tammy drops a ladder for their friends to climb aboard.

Tommy and Poof climb aboard first, followed by the Cadets, Darry, and SpongeTron with Max. They are all aboard as Tommy is able to bring up the ladder. "Are we missing anyone?" Darry asked as he takes the wheel.

"Wait!" a familiar voice yelled from afar. The twins turn to see Mickey running towards the Speeder.

"Oh, look," Tommy said in a sarcastic manner. "It's our cousin who endangered our team and left our friends to be killed by a ghost snake."

"Yeah, yeah," Mickey nonchalantly said. "Are you gonna get me outta here or not?"

Tommy and Tammy look at each other and glare at their cousin, looking at the opportunity. Mickey's smile fell and he says, "Come on! You know I was joking with you guys! You two are my best pals!" The twins still glare at Mickey, knowing the lies he's saying. Mickey fell on his knees and begged. "Please! You gotta get me outta here! If you want, I can quit being a Nicktoon cuz there's no way I'm going through that again! PLEEEEASE!" The twins say silent. Mickey almost wept, "You wouldn't want anything to happen to your good 'ol cousin, right? Right?"

The Turner twins look down at him when Tammy finally says, "We gotta let him onboard."

"WHAT?!" Tommy yelled in shocked, "After all that he did to us…and Poof?"

"As much as it pains me to say it, we have to," Tammy said on her good conscience, "He's…family after all."

"Oh thank you, Tams! Thank you! Thank you!" Mickey said in tears.

Tammy was about to put down the ladder until Tommy stops her. "But only for one price." Tommy added.

"Yes!" Mickey said excitedly, "I'll do anything! ANYTHING!"

"Cough up the disc, Cuz," Tommy said, holding out his hand for the blackmail video. Mickey dug through the inside of his jacket and grinned nervously as he held out the disk with the twins' video. Tommy still held his hand out, "Well, you wanna get outta here or not?"

Mickey was hesitant to give the disk to the twins until he hears a hiss and turns to notice the snake about to wake up. "Here! Take it!" Mickey shouted, throwing the disk toward Tommy to grab, "Now get me the HECK OUTTA HERE!" At this, Tammy and Tommy both grin to each other and chuckle. Tommy throws the disk aside and drops the ladder for Mickey to climb aboard.

Soon, Darry is driving through the Ghost Zone towards home. The Cadets are, however, uncomfortable and did not enjoy sitting next to Mickey, who is still traumatized from his experience. Crash was sitting next to the twins. "So why did you come back to save us?" Tammy asked him.

"Eh," Crash answered as he shrugged his shoulders. "I realized that bein' normal ain't as fun as livin' life to the extreme. Plus if bein' reckless is what helps me keep everyone safe, then I like it!"

"Well, it's thanks to you that we were prevented from being snake food," Yuki said admiringly, pleasing Crash.

"Yeah, you were more weird and less fun as," Tommy held his breath, but spat it out, "...Sydney." He laughs once more at the name.

"Yeah, I guess you can say that," Crash smiled, but Tommy continued laughing.

"Oh quit it, Tommy," Tammy said, "I'm sure a lot of people have the name S-Sydney." Tammy chuckled and began laughing as well.

As the twins continued laughing, Crash chuckled a bit, "Okay, now we know 'Sydney' is my actual name, but it's not really-" but Crash is interrupted by the bursts of laughter by the twins as they fall on the floor laughing. He glares looking really annoyed and holds up the small disk he found in the Speeder.

The next day at the Turner house, the bus arrives next door. A militant comes by and looks at his clipboard, "I'm looking for Mickey." he states when Mickey burst out of the door with his things and back in his uniform.

He stops in front of the militant and responds with a salute, "Present and accounted for, Sir."

"GET IN THAT BUS, PRIVATE!" the militant ordered at the top of his lungs. "We need to be at that academy by 1400! NOW MOVE!"

As Mickey boarded the bus, Timmy and the twins watched from in front of the house as Timmy waves goodbye to his nephew. "I can't believe Mickey did all those things to you guys," Timmy said after Mickey confessed to all the things he's done during his visit (or else Tommy threatened that Poof will turn him into a pig).

"Well, we would have told you what happened." Tommy mentioned. "But he had hold of our really embarrassing video."

"But still, the proper thing to do was to have told me, Cosmo, or Wanda in the first place."

"It was a vid of our first talent show."

"Yikes, that is bad," Timmy realized and clears this throat, "I'm sorry I left you in care of that brat. I was in the exact situation when I was your age and should have known better."

"You said it," the twins agreed.

"Well, hopefully there will come a day when Mickey will become the boy he wants us to believe he is."

"I'll believe that when I see it." Tammy muttered.

"So with Mickey gone, who's gonna be our babysitter?" Tommy asked.

Timmy opens the front door, "Find out yourselves." The twins gulped, wondering who Timmy hired to watch over them. They go into the house to see...Darry on his laptop, eating chips.

"Darry?!" Tammy and Tommy gasp in shock.

Darry turns his head and grins as he snaps his fingers, "What up, guys? Guess from now on Darry Fenton's gonna be doing the babysitting from now on."

As Tammy and Tommy sigh in relief, Timmy began to leave. "Well, I guess everything's good from here. I'll see you all later."

After their dad left, Tammy asked her brother. "Well, it is nice to be babysat by someone who isn't a psychotic jerk. But there's one thing I wanna know."

"What?" Tommy asked.

She turned to Darry and asked, "How did you get to be our babysitter?"

Darry answered, "Well, your dad was running out of babysitters and I needed some cash. Besides, that means we get to hang out even more…Twerps."

"What?" Tammy and Tommy both asked in shock.

"Kidding!" Darry added. The twins smile and hug him with Poof giggling in joy. "By the way, I like the little show you put on when you were little kids. It's a big hit."

The twin's eyes widen in shock as they ask, "What are you talking about?"

Darry opens the browser on his computer that shows a vid online to the twins' horror. "Crash says you gave it to him, and he put it up online in order to thank you for helping him and getting his little brother to come back home." Darry explained as the twins watched the video.

In Bikini Bottom, Crash looks at his computer after uploading the twins' embarrassing video, actually as payback. He smirks and sits back, placing his feet on the desk. "Mess with the bull… y'all get the horns."

The video takes place at the school talent show where on stage was a younger Tammy was dressed in a pink tutu and crown and was dancing around, twirling ribbons. Joining her on stage was Tommy, who ran next to her spinning disks on tall sticks as he clumsily ran around. Afterwards, Tommy accidentally ran into Tammy, causing them both to tumble down and the plates to fall on the ground next to them as everyone laughs.

Back in Dimmsdale, Darry and Poof kept watching, to the twins' shock which worsens after finding the vid already had a million hits and more coming after just a few hours. After the video ends, the twins' watching from their home, scream in horror, "AAAAAHHHHH!"
