Well here it is! The first original scenario in the story (if you don't count the first four chapters)! Sorry if it took a long time. I had some really bad writer's block. This scenario was suggested by guest reviewers, Deanna and Me. The latter said this:

"at the fourth chapter you said that we could make up our own situations to put Grojband and Jackie into. So here is mine: I would like for Jackie and Grojband to go into cyberspace and maybe some king of new character asks them to do a gig in cyberspace so they need a way to get Tracy there and make her go diary. Please make this and I hope you like my idea."

So here is the scenario put into a story format! Hope you all like it! BTW, stick around to read the author's notes at the bottom. I have an announcement to make.

Chapter 25

Caught in a Web

One afternoon, Jackie, Laney, Kin, and Kon were sitting around the garage watching videos online. On the screen there was a girl holding a dog on a leash.

"Go!" the girl said.

The dog started running causing the girl to fall and hit the pavement.

"Bwaah!"

"Wow, that looked like it hurt." Laney noted. "People actually like this video?"

Jackie nodded. "It just shows what a messed up society we're living in."

Kin pointed to another video. "How about this one?"

Jackie clicked the link and this time there was a video of a cat playing the keyboard.

"There's no way that that's real." Laney decided. "A cat couldn't be that good at playing keyboards."

"Yeah, especially not if he's better than me." Kin added.

"Of course not Kin." Jackie poked Kin in the nose. "Nobody's better than you."

Hearts popped out of Kin and he smiled big.

"Ooh! Click on that one Jacks!" Kon pointed at the screen. "That one's called 'The Best Video Ever'!"

"Well…"

"C'mon! Click it! Click it!"

"Okay! Okay!" Jackie moved the mouse over to the video and clicked on it.

When the video loaded, it showed a guy with red hair dancing to a familiar tune. Jackie, Laney, and Kin all groaned for they knew what that meant. Kon, however, was overjoyed.

"Yes! I love this song!" he started dancing as the guy in the video sang.

We're no strangers to love

You know the rules and so do I

The music stopped once Jackie closed the browsing window.

"Aww…" Kon whined. "I was listening to that! Besides it said it was the best video ever!"

"Kon, they only say that so you'll watch it. It's called trolling." Jackie explained. "It's when someone says that a video is good leading someone else to click on it. But when they watch it, it turns out to be that old music video and then they feel gullible and stupid."

"Oh."

"Man, everything on the internet nowadays is either old and played-out or stuff that's copied and redone." Jackie sighed. "Face it guys, there's nothing good online anymore."

Corey entered the garage after hearing the whole thing.

"Not for long Jacks!" he said. "Because Grojband is going to rule the entire interwebs!"

Laney stood up. "Um, how exactly do we do that Core?"

Corey put an arm around the red-head and she blushed.

"Easy Lanes! First, we upload a video of us rocking out a tune online. Then we get a ton of people to watch it and like it. Once our video becomes popular, so will we!"

"So we have to make another music video?" Jackie was uneasy. "I don't know Core. Remember what happened back in Chapters 12 and 13?"

"Yeah, but it's not like we're going inside Tracy's dreams again. And this time, there won't be any crazy special effects to give anyone nightmares! As long as the song we play is awesome enough to get millions of people to like it, Grojband will be huge!"

"Ooh! Ooh!" Kon raised his hand. "Then can we do that song sung by that red-haired guy that makes people feel gullible and stupid?"

"NO!" everyone else shouted.

Soon, the band had taken their positions on stage and Jackie filmed them playing one of their songs. Of course, they didn't have any lyrics at the time but Corey said they would fix that after they became famous. Jackie took the footage and after a bit of editing, she posted it to the website. Corey looked over the video and got excited.

"It's perfect! Now we just have to wait for the views to roll in!" Corey leaned back in his chair.

"Look Core, our music video is cool and all…" Laney began. "But, how can we be sure that millions of people will watch it?"

Corey just scoffed. "Chill dude! I've already sent the video to everyone we know and asked them to share it with everyone they know! They'll all be going wild for Grojband's music! And let's face it, who wouldn't?"

Meanwhile, Tracy was in her room using her laptop. Like Grojband, she was also trying to become popular by uploading videos online. Except in her case, it was mainly to become popular with Rick. She was currently posting her first video which was of herself bragging about how pretty she was and how others should be jealous of her beauty. Macy was standing right beside her.

"There!" Tracy clicked the submit button. "My first video has been uploaded for the whole world to see! Now let's see how high my subscriber count is!"

Tracy went to her account page and was angered when she found out she only had one subscriber.

"What?! My channel has been up for a whole minute!" she complained. "Nobody has subscribed to me?!"

"Um, I have Tracy." Macy smiled.

Tracy ignored her. "Hm, maybe if I take down my video and upload it again, I'll get better results…"

The selfish teen was about to re-upload her video when she got an email with a link attached to it.

"Huh? What's this?"

Tracy clicked on the link and to her surprise and disgust, it sent her to Grojband's new music video.

"Ewww!" she covered her ears and looked away. "It's horrible! Awful! Make it stop!"

Macy took a look at Tracy's computer screen.

"Grojband posts stuff online too? Huh, I wonder why they would send you one of their videos?"

"A big fat who cares? I'm not about to let Grossband become more popular than me! I'm disliking their dumb video!"

Tracy clicked on the thumbs-down icon below the video, giving it a dislike. She tried to dislike it again but the website wouldn't let her.

"Ugh!" she groaned. "Why are you not allowed to dislike something more than once? They should let you dislike a video as many times as you want to show how much you hate it!"

Macy thought about it.

"Hm, well you could create another account and use that one to dislike the video a second time."

Tracy stood up and smiled evilly.

"Yeah, that just might work. But I want Mirojband to have way more than two dislikes! No, in order to bring them down, I need to dislike them a million times! After that, I'll be satisfied."

"Great plan Tracy! But, making a million accounts is going to take a long time…"

"A long time for you, you mean." Tracy pushed Macy into her computer chair. "GET TO WORK!"

Macy obeyed and immediately started making more accounts for her demanding best friend.

A MILLION IS A BIG NUMBER!

A few hours later, Macy had finally finished creating a million accounts for Tracy. With each one she finished, Tracy reminded her to dislike Grojband's video and to add a mean comment as well. Just like the dark-haired girl had planned, the video soon had one million dislikes.

"There!" Tracy said. "Now Fromojband's online career is ruined! And I have a million different accounts to upload my videos to!"

Macy grasped her hand, which was cramping from using it too much.

"Yep! You sure do Tracy! Heh, heh…"

"And now to make sure everybody knows who I am by uploading my first video to all of my channels! MACY!"

Macy nodded and started using her other hand to do Tracy's bidding.

Back in the garage, Grojband had just finished rehearsing their music for their next gig (once they got one). Jackie stood up from her chair and clapped as their last song ended.

"Great rehearsal guys! Your new song sounded amazing!"

"Despite the fact that we still don't have lyrics…" Laney hinted while glancing at Corey.

"Aw, lyrics will come along eventually." Corey shrugged and went over to Jackie's laptop. "In the meantime, let's see how our video's doing."

He refreshed the page with the band's music video.

"I bet by now, we're sure to have a million…" he gasped when he saw what was on the screen. "Dislikes?! But how? We sounded perfect!"

"Could it have something to do with our lack of words in our song?" Laney guessed sarcastically.

Corey clicked on the link to the videos' comments and started reading them.

"AAA! The comments are even worse!" he handed the computer to Jackie. "Read what it says!"

"'This band and their lame music is enough to make my ears bleed.' Ouch."

"Keep reading!" Corey encouraged and Jackie read several other comments.

"'I am guessing the kid with blue hair is the lead singer. Judging by how bad his guitar playing is, his singing voice must be even worse.'"

Corey clutched his heart. "Ow! It hurts! It really, really hurts!"

Jackie kept reading.

"'The dude with the bass is extremely ugly. Now I know why he is wearing makeup. Not that it makes him look any better. LOL.'"

"What?!" Laney was outraged. "That's not funny! And I'm not a dude!"

"'Can somebody tell me how many chins are on that stupid drummer? Because I lost count after twenty. Also, I am assuming that the dork playing keyboards is his twin brother. Mainly because they both stink equally XD.'"

Kin and Kon had tears in their eyes and they hugged each other.

"'Grojband? More like Grojbland. Their music makes me want to throw up. I wish that-"

"Stop! Enough! Please! Why are you still reading those things?!" Corey pleaded.

Jackie put down the laptop. "So you guys have a few haters. Big deal."

"A few?! Jacks, there were one million dislikes! That's like, ten times the population of Tranquil Town!" Corey panicked. "What if we're the most hated band in the world?"

That's when Jackie's laptop flashed and she and the others were teleported out of the garage and into a strange new place. A place with pixelated walls, floating video screens, and absolutely no ground to stand on. But somehow, the five teens were floating in mid-air.

"Where are we?" Kon wondered aloud.

"I have no idea." Jackie confessed. "But it definitely doesn't look like home."

"Oh, but it is your home now!" a voice boomed from a distance.

"Who said that?"

There was another flash and this time a floating throne showed up with a pixelated figure sitting on it.

Grojband hid behind Jackie as she spoke to the person.

"W-Who are you?"

"I am King Chip." He said. "That's short for Microchip. You must be that band I've heard so much about."

Jackie looked around. "What is this place?"

"This is the kingdom of Linkrot." King Chip explained. "This is the place where the worst videos of all time are locked up so they don't disgust users of the Internet any longer. Usually it's because they're stupid or because they're boring…but sometimes it's because of…their high dislike rate!"

Corey came out from behind Jackie. "Yeah, that's really cool. Hey listen, it's been nice meeting you and all but we really need to get back to our world now, so can you show us the way?"

"Back to your world?!" King Chip laughed. "You're not going anywhere! If you five were summoned here, then that means you created a video so terrible that it made people's eyes melt! And besides, I already know that in the past few hours you all received one million dislikes on your recent upload! That means you all have to stay here and be imprisoned for eternity!"

Grojband gasped.

"Wait a minute!" Jackie interrupted. "You mean you're going to keep my band in this creepy place forever just because their video wasn't that popular?"

"That's right. What's your point?"

"Well, let me ask you this. Did you even watch their video all the way through?"

"Um…" the king stood still in thought. "Well…no…it's not really my job to watch videos, just to imprison them."

"Then how do you know that it was that bad?"

"Well, because…because…" King Chip beamed. "Because it has one million dislikes! Obviously it has to be bad!"

Corey got an idea. "Okay then. How about this? We'll put on a wicked show for you right here, right now! If you like it, you have to set us free. If you don't, then you can keep us."

Laney, Kin, and Kon gasped at Corey's offer. King Chip scratched his chin.

"It seems like a reasonable offer. Very well then. You have a deal."

"Yes!" Corey cheered.

The digital king snapped his fingers giving the band their instruments and a stage to play on.

"All right go ahead. This song had better be good. And it had better have good lyrics."

Corey rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled nervously.

"Oh yeah, heh…about that…see, we don't actually have lyrics to this song."

The king was furious.

"What?! No lyrics?! No wonder so many people hated you! That settles it! I hope all of you packed clean clothes because you're going to be here for a long time!"

"Wait!" Corey cried. "We can get lyrics! We just need a little time!"

"And how may I ask, are we going to get lyrics from Tracy when we're stuck in this crazy place?" Laney asked.

The two of them heard Kon singing from behind them. They turned around and saw him dancing to the same music video they watched earlier that day.

"Kon! Would you stop singing that stupid song?" Corey stopped for a moment. "That's it! I know how we can get our lyrics! We need to make a brand new music video! Just like our first one, except this time, we have to make sure people hate it! Preferably, one person…hey King Chip! Mind if we borrow some camera equipment?"

King Chip shrugged. "I don't see how this is going to help you escape your fate, but I can't resist filming a good video."

He snapped his fingers and gained a camera.

"Oh you'll be filming a video all right." Corey said. "Just not a good one."

DIGITIZED TRANSITION!

Macy was completely exhausted after uploading Tracy's video to all of her channels.

"There you go Tracy…" she panted. "All done…"

Tracy squealed as Macy fell to the floor.

"Now I'm sure to be the most popular girl on the web! I bet every single person in the whole world has clicked on my video and given it a thumbs up! This day couldn't get any better!"

Just then, Tracy received another email that contained a link to a video.

"What's this?" Tracy read the message. "'Rick Salary's Proposal to Tracy Matthews'?! OMG! He's asking me to marry him on a video? That's so romantic! I have to watch it!"

Tracy clicked on the link hoping to see the boy she loved on the screen but instead, she saw one of the boys she hated.

"Hey there fellow viewer! Corey Riffin here! And you've just been…GrojRoll'd!"

Tracy was stunned. "What?!"

"Hit it!"

Corey and the band started playing a familiar song.

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Tracy covered her ears.

"No…no! I hate this song! And I hate Grojband even more! I came here to see hunky Rick Salary but instead I got Rick Astley?! I've been trolled by my sister's stupid band?!"

The teenager blasted into the air surrounded by pixelated squares. She grabbed her diary and wrote in it causing her laptop to shoot out fire. When she finished, her flaming pen burned out and she fell toward the ground. Corey's hand came out of the computer screen and he caught the diary. He pulled it back into the cyber world and read through it.

"Get ready Chip, cause this next song almost guarantees a thumbs-up!"

The band started playing their new song.

You sent me a message but I didn't reply

Because it broke my heart and made me cry

Your face is even uglier than a scab

But I always end up finding you in a new tab

One million dislikes will lead to five

Cause I'm gonna delete you from my hard drive

You pushed my buttons, now I'm mashing my keys

You're just like a virus but you have real disease

Get out of my head! Why can't you see?

That you and I will never have real history

Yeah!

Jackie and King Chip applauded and the latter stood up from his throne.

"Now that's what I call a viral video!" he exclaimed.

"Thanks! So, you really liked it?" Corey asked.

"Absolutely! I don't even know why someone would dislike you in the first place!" the king pulled up a screen with a list of recent activity on Grojband's video. "Besides this T. Matthews person…"

"Who?" Jackie said.

"You know, tmatthews1, tmatthews2, tmatthews3…come to think of it, all of the dislikes are under this name. The only difference is the number…"

Jackie snapped her fingers. "Ah-ha! So it was Tracy who disliked you guys so many times! I should have known!"

Chip closed the page he was on.

"Oh well, as far as I'm concerned, your song was great! You all are free to go!"

Grojband cheered and gave each other high fives. A portal came up and Jackie and the others took their leave. As soon as they were gone, King Chip looked over at the video screen with the red headed singer.

"Drat! I should have made them stay! Now I'll never get that overplayed song out of my head!"

The gang finally arrived back at their garage. The first one to speak was Laney.

"Sorry the whole 'viral video' thing didn't work out Core."

"You know what Lanes? I'm actually glad that it didn't." a spotlight shined on the blue-haired singer. "The internet is a cruel place filled with cruel people. You might try uploading something to a website just to get attention and everyone will bring you down for it. And even if they do take pleasure in what you created, sooner or later, they'll find some cat video to watch and forget the whole thing. If we want people to respect us, we need to show them who we really are instead of just putting a thumbnail over our real faces."

Kon was sitting on the couch watching the video of a cat playing the keyboard.

"Man, why don't we have a cat who can do this?"

"Because Kon, we already have an awesome keyboardist." Jackie poked Kin in the nose. "And a cat can't ever replace him."

Kin went love-struck and fainted.

"Thanks for coming out everyone!" Corey shut the garage door.

Okay so now that you're done reading the new chapter, I can finally make my announcement. I realize that we are just getting started with all of the original scenarios and everything but due to the high number of requests I have received in the past few days, I actually want you all to stop leaving requests for a while. Don't worry, I'm not angry about how many suggestions I got, in fact it's actually kind of nice. The point I am trying to make is that there are so many suggestions right now that I need to catch up on my writing. So for now, please don't request anything until say, Chapter 33 so I can get all of the previous suggestions done. Thanks for your support and I'll see you next time!
