Angel: Yellowdrake26 has drawn Amy in her Halloween costume from Dawn of the Driscoll in the spirit of Halloween, go ahead and check it out! Unfortunately, I still can't celebrate even though I'm in my twenties! *annoyed look* And the two Halloween episodes from season 2 will unfortunately not get released until later ^^' Oh well.

A blimp is hovering over the school as it says 'McFistival of Pride' on it, but McFist's face has replaced the letter I.

"The McFistival of Pride parade," Randy, Howard, and Amy are sitting on the steps as they watch several students making a carp float for the parade. The boys have their keytar and beats while Amy is holding her microphone in her hand. Howard has his hair done so that it's sticking upwards. The brunette has her contacts on and her hair is down. "The crown jewel of the Norrisville parade season. And when we shred all over the school float..."

"It's gonna melt everyone's faces off! Norrisville, are you ready for...30 Seconds to Math!" The two play their instruments for a few brief seconds and Amy laughs at them. They look up at the inattentive students still putting on the finishing touches on the float.

"They aren't ready, none of 'em. Not Heidi, not Bash, not Stevens," Randy counts off.

"Not Bagel."

"Definitely not Bagel," Randy does a double take, looking to Howard. "Who is Bagel?"

"Are you kidding me?" Howard asks in disbelief. "Ranginald Bagel, the most annoying kid in school. Thinks he's a standup comedian."

"Yeah, his jokes are...well...that's him over there," Amy points up ahead to Ranginald, who's standing behind Morgan as she's painting the float.

"Morgan, stop me if you've heard this one," He starts off with a grin.

"Stop," She mutters, and not in a good way.

"Why can't a sunken ship be in a parade? Cause it won't stay afloat! Get it? Afloat!" He laughs, and is the only one laughing.

"That kid's name is not Ranginald Bagel," Randy glances to the two. "No one's name is Ranginald Bagel."

"I'm Ranginald Bagel!" He exclaims to the annoyed students. "You've been great! Now, if you'll all excuse me, I've gotta take five to make two, if you know what I mean."

No one really laughs or even acknowledges the joke. "What I mean is I've gotta take a poop."

"Ranginald, just go," Morgan tells him in annoyance, clenching her fists. Everyone else looks just as annoyed.

"Good night, everybody!" He runs off and the three just watch him leave.

"Even I don't like him, and that's saying a lot..." Amy sighs a bit. And yet she's class president.

"Wow, this is bad," Randy says in worry for some reason.

"Oh, wait till he does his cafeteria bit. Twenty minutes on how chili isn't cold!" Howard states in ire.

"No, I mean, remember when we were all bro-snatched by that swamp wizard Catfish Booray?"

Catfish stood with purple evil eyes and Randy yelped in alarm. "Well, how you doing over there, partner? My name Catfish. Catfish Booray."

"Hello, Mr. Catfish," Randy waved to him. "My name is Ran...ginald Bagel. Ranginald Bagel, that's me."

Randy cringes as Amy holds her head in disbelief. "Wait a minute...you told a crazy man that kept us in cages that your name is Ranginald Bagel? And yet you didn't even know that Bagel existed until now? How did this not get brought up?"

"I panicked!" He whines slightly at the girl. "I didn't even know Bagel was a student here! I couldn't tell him my real name!"

"So he thinks your name is Ranginald Bagel, so what?" Howard crosses his arms carelessly.

"So Booray saw me transform into you know who. And he saw Amy transform into the you know what too, and he knows what she looks like!"

Howard just stares up at them. "Who?"

"The Ninja and Kunoichi," Randy answers blankly, earning a nod from their friend. "He thinks Ranginald Bagel is the Ninja," He facepalms himself. "We've gotta go to the swamp and set him straight." They're about to go when Howard pulls them back.

"I'll admit, usually you guys wonk everything up."

"Excuse me?" Amy asks in annoyance that he's blaming her for everything. She's only caused like 3 things that counted in their books, what else has she done to wonk everything up?

"But this one, I think we're good," Howard finishes off with a grin, but the two have worried looks. "No way it's coming back to eat our cheese."

"...You're right," Randy replies after taking a moment to think about it. "I mean, it's ridiculous. Booray and McFist in the same place at the same time," He chuckles at the thought.

"Actually, there can be a few scenarios that are probable if either one makes the choice to-"

"Hey biffer!" Heidi calls out, interrupting Amy and waving to her. She's holding up her camera as the brunette looks at her friend. "Any chance I could get a quick interview about you singing in the McFestival of Pride parade today? Some have said it's the latest cheese!"

"Erm," Amy bites her lip, looking away. It's true that she is singing with the band today, since she is a member...but it's something she'd rather not have brought up because she's so honkin' nervous about it. She's performing for the whole town, after all, and it's a lot of pressure. Luckily she's not alone, but performing is the last thing on her mind right now.

"She would love to!" Howard pushes her forward slightly, and she glances over her shoulder to glare at him. "Glad that conversation's done."

"This isn't over," She whispers to them before turning to Heidi to answer a few questions.

"Howard," Randy shakes his head at him.

"What? She was boring me. Smith doesn't know what she's talking about, there's no way this is gonna come back at us."

The taller boy rolls his eyes at him, glancing at Amy. She seems really nervous about the performance later today...


Viceroy is at a local shack that he and Booray just both happen to eat at. "I was just enjoying my all-you-can-eat crawdads the other day when I overheard Mr. Booray here making a rather convincing case how-"

"I know who the Ninja and Kunoichi be," Booray interrupts the evil scientist. "That skinny mullet and his girlfriend done sliced up my gris-gris," He holds up his stitched-up pouch, but McFist is enjoying his bucket of lobsters meal, wearing a bib.

"Mm, these lobsters are great, Viceroy," McFist points at one in his hand. "Don't know why they make them so small but I like 'em!"

"Sir, we took two canoes and a fan boat to get down here," Viceroy informs him. "Isn't there something you wanted to ask?"

McFist clears his throat, stopping himself from eating. "Yes. Do these come with hush puppies?" He holds up a lobster, grinning.

"Oh, I'm awful glad you asked that, Mr. Robot Hand. You know them hush puppies, they don't come with it," Booray grins, shaking his head. "They're an extra charge. But they're worth it," He chuckles evilly and Viceroy sighs, facepalming himself.

"Something besides hush puppies," He silently rolls his eyes.

"Right," McFist spits out the lobster in his mouth, leaning in. "So who's the Ninja?"

"You bring what I asked for?" Booray simply glances at the evil scientist instead of answering the question. Viceroy huffs and holds up a McFist Pad as payment for the information. "Ooh, McFist Pad!" He lunges forward, but Viceroy moves it away from him. Booray falls onto the floor with a thud. "This the new one, right?" He points at the device.

"OF COURSE IT'S THE NEW ONE!" McFist screams at him, mostly out of frustration. He's been wanting to know their identities for months now, and yet the person who can tell him is stalling. "Now tell us who the Ninja and Kunoichi are!" He slams down a fist, knocking down his bucket of lobsters.

"The Ninja be...Ranginald Bagel!" Booray stands up, getting the attention of everyone else as he said that out loud. "Oh, I don't know who the Kunoichi be, but look for a little cher with brown hair and glasses." He snatches his payment and runs off, cackling maniacally. He then gets onto a boat and speeds off, the two just staring after him.

"Ooh!" McFist slams down his fists on the table out of anger. "All that and he didn't even know who the Kunoichi's real name is?! Anyway, I'm in! Viceroy, bring me the head of Ranginald Bagel and any brunettes with glasses. Also, wanna go halfsers on another bucket?" He holds up the empty bucket.


"I can't believe I almost skipped the parade to prevent something that could never happen," Randy laughs to Howard.

"I wouldn't say that," Amy approaches them, having finished with Heidi. "Bad guys tend to hang around the same joints, so you never know, Randy."

Their Nomicons flash from their outerwear and they glance at each other. "Probably wants to congratulate me for keeping myself out of trouble," Randy stands up and Amy follows after him. They jump into the bushes and open their books, falling onto the tree.

The two are falling into a mouth and then flowers open up, revealing the two of them. "What the juice?"

"Huh?" Amy looks around. Then they look forward and see two Ninjas sniffing flowers. A group of monsters approach them, and the two gasp. However, everything suddenly freezes and a scroll opens to reveal the message.

"The Ninja and Kunoichi who look the other way fail to see the attack. Got it, Ninja Nomicon. If there's an attack, we'll keep our eyes open. But since there isn't, we've got a parade to get to. Ames, you sure you can do it?"

"I'm sure, I just...have to stop thinking about it," Amy smiles a bit. The flowers have moved them across the bridge and then time begins, the monsters beating up the two Ninjas. "But I really think we shouldn't-"

"So is there like a button to vloop out of here? Like a switch?" Randy looks over the edge and then both of them are swallowed up by the flowers.

Randy and Amy walk back to the impatient Howard. "Nomicon says we're all good."

"Wow, that's a load off," Howard glances away. Amy sighs wearily, shaking her head. If they weren't going to see the possible problem, then she'll just wait until it backfires on them. He then skids to a stop in front of them. "Now let's deal with something important. Serpentine or Reverse Upstairs-Downstairs Hurricane?" He practices the moves in front of them.

"Why give the crowd half a show? Do both!"

"By the way, give me your glasses, Smith. I'm not having us look like shoobs if you wear them on the float," Howard holds out his hands as she rolls her eyes, taking them out.

"I think I'd rather give them to Ran than to you. No doubt you'll sit on them or something like that."

"Relax, she'll be fine as long as she has her contacts." Randy fist bumps Howard when a scream interrupts the moment. Amy moves out of the way as everyone runs in a stampede, trampling over Randy and Howard. Their bodies literally make a dent in the steps. They look up to see a large robot grabbing Bucky.

"Where is Ranginald Bagel and a brunette with glasses?"

"H-He went to the lavatory, and there's a brunette that usually wears glasses over there!" Bucky points to Amy, who is still holding her glasses. The robot throws him away, Amy looking at the direction he went in disbelief.

The robot jumps past the boys, snatches Amy, and cuts open the door with his axe, creating a hole. Amy screams as she looks at them.

"Help me!"

Randy gasps and lunges forward, but Howard grabs his legs, and he falls onto the steps. "You're gonna Ninja-out, aren't you?"

"It'll be fine," Randy waves it off, getting onto his feet. "We don't perform till 3:30, and Ames is in trouble. And by my watch, it's only Ninja o'clock," He pulls out his mask with a big grin. "We'll meet you on the float."

"No!" Howard exclaims as he watches the taller boy run off.

"Don't forget my keytar and her mic!" Randy calls out as he runs into the school. Howard groans, an eye twitching at the fact they basically abandoned him.


The parade begins as Bash pops a balloon with his crown. The remains fall on McFist's face. "I popped it!"

He pulls it off with a groan, placing a fist to his cheek. Both he and Marci are in king and queen attire. "I hate this," He grumbles out loud.

"Oh, don't be such a Grumpy Gabe," His wife smiles, tugging at his robot arm. "Show everyone that big smile of yours."

Viceroy, dressed as a jester, slides up to McFist's left side. "Operation Sliced Bagel and Smart Brunette proceeding according to plan," He points at Norrisville High, smoke coming out from the building. McFist snickers in glee.

"Oh, now that's my happy Hanny," Marci comments as Bash pops another balloon, enjoying himself.

Sundown lugs a bucket of water to the janitor's room when the Ninja bursts out of it. He accidentally sprays the janitor with the water, who's panting.

"Destroy Ranginald Bagel and brunette with glasses!" The robot bursts open a wall, running forward.

"Ninja Tripping Balls!" Ninja tosses a few onto the ground, and the robot trips on them. He drops Amy and she falls onto the floor. The robot goes right over to Ninja, who kicks him right outside. Amy sits up and she lightly taps her foot as she crosses her arms at Ninja. "Okay, you were right. Now come and help me!" He holds out a hand to her.

She takes it and he helps her up. He opens a locker for her and she steps inside, transforming quickly.

"I told you so," Kunoichi tells Ninja, pointing a finger at him.

The robot stands up. "Destroy Ranginald Bagel and brunette with glasses!" He runs back inside the school, right past Howard who was carrying his beats, the keytar, and the microphone. Howard groans as he rolls his eyes, continuing down the steps.

"And he said-" Bagel is interrupted by Ninja and Kunoichi skidding into the boys' bathroom. But since they couldn't stop thanks to the slippery floor, they crash into a heap on the floor.

"Okay...that hurt," Kunoichi squeezes her eyes slightly, rubbing the top of her head.

"Ninja! Kunoichi!" Bagel runs up to the two. "Great to see you in the second floor bathroom," He helps the two onto their feet. "Here's one for ya: when is a Ninja good at sticking things on a wall?" He nudges the duo.

"Ugh, no time," Ninja grabs him and directs him to look out the window. "Don't panic, a robot wants to destroy you because he thinks you're me. Make that robots."

Kunoichi peeks outside to see more robots running into the parking lot towards the school. "Oh, great," She groans at this, turning to the boy. "Look, we'll protect you from them, okay?"

Bagel blinks twice at them. "When you a tack! Get it?" They both facepalm at this, turning away from the window. "A tack!" He laughs at his joke, slapping his knee. "I'm sorry, what now?"

"A killer robot is coming to get you!" They both exclaim into his face at the same time, his hair flying. How did he not get that warning?

A robot suddenly bursts into the bathroom. "Destroy Ranginald Bagel and brunette with glasses!"

"You've been great, everybody! Goodnight!" He opens up the stall, about to hide in there.

"No wait," Ninja pulls him to his side. "Check it. "Ninja, Ranginald Bagel," Ninja points to the boy. "Same place, same time. Not the same person. Call off the attack."

"Destroy Ranginald Bagel!" The robot slams down its weapon and they jump away, briefly landing at the wall. When they reach the other side, Ninja and Kunoichi kick the robot into a urinal, breaking off the head.

"Maybe it doesn't appreciate comedy," Bagel shrugs slightly.

"That's not it," Kunoichi shakes her head, turning to her partner. "These things aren't like regular robo-apes. They're not gonna listen to us because of their direct orders." She glances out the window, releasing her hair. "I have an idea on how to get out of here. Grab on."

"What do you use on your head? Super fertilizer?" Bagel jokes, laughing yet again. She and Ninja have blank look on their faces. She kicks open the window and spins part of her hair around. She tosses it and captures a tree.

"Hang on!"

She jumps out the window, bringing the boys along with her. They spin around the tree. "And I thought the cafeteria on chipped beef day was a tough room," Bagel comments as they land in a branch, Ninja hanging on by two legs. Kunoichi scoops up her hair, sitting next to Ninja. "Nothing. Nothing on chipped beef."

"How can you make jokes at a time like this?" Ninja asks in exasperation.

"It's a defense mechanism, I do it when I'm nervous or happy or if there's silence, that's the worst."

"At which none of them involve funny jokes," Kunoichi pinches her nose, weaving her hair back into the braid.

"Destroy Ranginald Bagel and brunette with glasses!" Two robots chase after a trio of students underneath them. Thank goodness Amy is the only brunette in school with brown hair and glasses. There is already a minimal amount of people in school that have glasses.

"I totally wonked it. Those bots will keep coming till I prove to McFist that Ranginald's not the Ninja," Ninja looks to Kunoichi at a panic as she finishes up tying her hair.

"Yes, but we both know that McFist is where?" Kunoichi smirks, hands on her hips. He gasps in realization.

"That's it, the McFistival parade!" He looks up at the same blimp passing by.

"No idea what you're talking about," Bagel shakes his head as they get down from the tree. "But I got 6 solid minutes on parades."

Ninja snatches him by the scarf, and he lands nearby. "Let's go!" He snatches Bagel by the back of his collar and they run away. A robot cuts the tree they were in.

"Destroy Ranginald Bagel and brunette with glasses!"


"This is the most boring race ever," McFist states as he's barely paying attention.

"I don't think it's a race," Marci tells him as the robo-apes and a float go by.

"Whatever it is, make it go faster!" McFist shouts, standing up.

"That's no balloon! That's my sister!" Unfortunately for both Kunoichi and Ninja, they had to listen to Bagel's jokes the whole way over. This is one of the times they wished that their suits came equipped with duct tape. "See, 6 minutes on parades!"

Thankfully, Ninja sees a float and runs towards it. "Longest 6 minutes of my life."

"That's because it was seven!" Bagel exclaims and Ninja throws him onto a pile of McSquiddles. They jump and land beside him.

"You just had to say his name out of all people," Kunoichi sighs deeply, wanting this to be over soon.

"So you think we lost those robots or what?" Bagel asks the duo when suddenly a robot lands in front of them.

"I'm gonna go with or what?" Ninja looks up at it.

"Good answer," Kunoichi replies nervously as her partner grabs Bagel and jumps off the float. She follows on foot as the robots chase after them.

"Or what? That's great!" Bagel exclaims as they weave through the crowd. "Can I steal that?"

"No!" They both answer in unison, and Ninja sees Luigi standing by with balloons. They hide behind the helium tank, Ninja covering Bagel's mouth. The robots run off and they both give sighs of relief...until a robot comes back and slices away all of the balloons.

"Destroy Ranginald Bagel and brunette with glasses!" He raises the axe in the air and they step back as the tank is impacted. Everyone nearby runs away as the robot explodes into pieces, landing around poor Luigi.

"My balloons, they go pop pop..."

The Twirl Team is walking in front of the float the school painted, with Howard on top of it. He looks around for his friends, growing impatient. Flute Girl stops playing the flute.

"Hey, everybody, looks like Weinerman got abandoned," She teases with a grin.

"Kick him when he's down zing!" Bucky plays a tune from his triangle as the band members laugh.

"Wrong per uz, Flute Girl," He spins his guitar sticks into the air. "I'm just gonna get everyone warmed up with a sweet drum solo. Then it's face-melting time." He taps a button to play a beat, his friends running past the float.

"Drum solo, classic Weinerman stall. Just keep 'em buddy, buddy. We'll be there soon."

The robot appears in the crowd in front of them, spinning its axe. "Uh oh!" He throws Bagel as the axe goes over their heads. Bagel screams as he goes flying above the duo. The axe pierces a robo-ape, and it falls onto the ground.

"Axe and you shall receive," Ninja states as Kunoichi releases her hair again, throwing it into his hands. He catches it and spreads it out so that Bagel lands on her hair like a trampoline.

"Ha! I'm stealing that one!"

"Will you stop giving him jokes?" Kunoichi deadpans at her partner.

"No you're not!" Ninja snaps the hair so that Bagel goes flying because a robot had stood in front of them. "Ninja Boom Ball!" He tosses it at the robot and destroys it, but then the two get surrounded by robots. "Bring it on!"

They jump from a weapon that hits the road. "Ranginald Bagel Ninja'ed out. Why didn't you plan for that?!" He turns to Viceroy angrily.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Viceroy sags his shoulders in fake disappointment. "Oh, wait, I did," He taps an app from his McFist Pad, giggling evilly. Missiles from a robo-ape balloon come out of his butt, flying towards the group. Then another group of missiles fly out of a Whoopee balloon, flying towards the trio. Bagel screams as Kunoichi scoops up her hair and Ninja grabs the boy's arm. They run away as the missiles land, robots running out of the blast. Bagel screams as the two dodge the robots and missiles. Suddenly, the robot behind them cuts off Bagel's belt.

"Hey! Ow!" He screams as he grabs onto his pants. A robot is standing in their way, but they slide underneath it so that the robot behind them slices it in half. Then it turns around to see the two partners.

"Ninja Air Fist!" They both fire it at the robot, knocking off the head and legs. Ninja turns to his side to see that Bagel is no longer there.

"Ranginald?"

"I think he hid from the Air Fists," Kunoichi glances around for him.

They find him whimpering, hiding behind a float. The two land in front of him and Kunoichi examines his features. He looks like he's seen a ghost.

"Ranginald, you okay?" Ninja waves a hand in front of him. He stands up in alarm, his pants falling off. Kunoichi yelps, covering her eyes with her hands. He pulls them back up tightly, bawling his eyes out. "You got a joke for me there, Rang?" Ninja tries to comfort him, a hand on his shoulder.

"A joke?" He grits his teeth and Kunoichi looks at him wide-eyed. "You want a joke?!" His eyes look crazy. He then grabs the two and shakes them. "I was almost sliced in two by a giant robot! Pardon me if I don't find the humor in that!"

His pants drop again and he pulls them back up. "Wow," Kunoichi murmurs, glancing at her partner as her hair is a mess from the yelling. Ninja turns around and stands behind her, working through her long hair.

"I just wanna make people laugh!" He cries out, tears falling down his cheeks. Kunoichi glances over her shoulder as both of them have an idea.

"Wait a minute. Ranginald, I think we can fix this," He puts an arm around the boy, pulling him forward to them. "But we need you to make people laugh. Think you can do that for me, buddy?"

"...Have you heard the one about-"

"No no! Save it," Ninja interrupts, grabbing him and jumping as the robots have found them. Kunoichi flips over them.

Howard is still playing the drums, but is sweating as his arms are getting tired. He eventually falls on top of the float out of exhaustion. His friends land in front of him and he looks up at them. "Ninja, Kunoichi, thank cheese! De-suit and we can-" He clutches his stick as he sees Bagel behind them. "What's he doing here?"

"Say hello to your new opening act," Ninja gestures to Bagel, who has a McFist balloon behind his back to help keep his pants up. He then snatches a microphone, to Howard's disbelief. "Norrisville, prepare yourselves for...the comedy stylings of Ranginald Bagel."

"Ranginald Bagel!" Howard holds his head.

"Ranginald Bagel," The robots look up at the float.

"Ranginald Bagel?!" McFist exclaims as he sees the boy grab the microphone.

"Ranginald Bagel is my name," He introduces himself. "And comedy is the thing that I do that rhymes with name."

"What have you done?" Howard hisses to the two as they just watch.

"I know we wanted this, Howard, but he needs it," Ninja states to the frowning obese boy.

"Trust us, this is what we have to do," Kunoichi states, hands on her hips.

"Two robo-apes walk into a building. You think one of them would've seen it!"

A robo-ape from the audience laughs. "But the Ninja's-and Ranginald's-Ranginald Bagel can't be the Ninja! I knew that swamp elf was nuts! And he was probably wrong about the Kunoichi too!" He slams down his fists.

"Oh, this isn't over yet," Viceroy presses another app from his McFist Pad, which is set to destroy the two Ninjas.

"Destroy Ninja and Kunoichi!" The robots' eyes turn red. Another missile emerges from the Whooopee balloon and then the blimp. The two look up and see the advice from the Nomicon.

"The Ninja and Kunoichi who look the other way fail to see the attack." They turn around to the robots running up to the float. They start to climb up to the duo. "But we're looking right at the attack. We see it? How do we stop it?"

A doodle broom moves away to sweep everything but four words. "Looks the other way!" They see a cannon nearby.

"That's it!" Kunoichi smiles, pumping her fists.

"Ninja Wisdom Flip!" Ninja and Kunoichi flip away, throwing fire and lightning at the cannon. The student managing it runs away as they activate the cannon, and it fires. It goes straight through the Whoopee balloon and then the blimp, both of them exploding. Ninja grabs Howard as Kunoichi throws her scarf. They capture a pole and jump off just in time as the entire float is destroyed.

"Ninja! Kunoichi! Ninja! Kunoichi!" The crowd cheers, the fire melting all of the robots. McFist groans out of frustration, dismayed by all the damage.

"Well, on the bright side, this was the best parade ever," Viceroy smiles, gesturing to the flames.

"I HATE THE BRIGHT SIDE!"


Randy and Amy walk back up to their friend, who's looking at the damage. "Ranginald got our glory and the McFistival of Pride parade went up in flames," Howard grumbles once they join his side. "I hope you both learned something from all this."

"Oh, I did," Randy speaks up. "And that is...that is..." He taps his chin. "Hang on a second, it'll come to me."

"Is it to not give out a name when facing a crazy swamp guy?" Amy crosses her arms, glancing at him.

"No, I don't think that's it..."

"Did you hear the one about the robo-ape who got fired from the banana farm?" Bagel is asking a couple of robo-apes. "He was throwing out all the bent ones."

"That joke is offensive. Get him!"

Bagel runs off screaming, right past the three. Amy's eyes widen in alarm. "Uh, it's on the tip of my tongue. I know I learned something."

"Was it to not assume that a bad thing won't happen?" Amy raises a brow at him.

"I kid! I kid! That's what I do!" Bagel shouts as he's still being chased.

"You know what? As soon as we rescue Ranginald, I'm sure we'll remember it," Randy speeds off and transforms, Amy following after him. Once she transforms, she counts off.

"And in three, two, one..."

"Rescue Ranginald!" Ninja returns back to Howard. "Don't look the other way! Lesson learned!"

Kunoichi facepalms herself at this. Bagel lets out a scream as Ninja stands there. Howard groans at him, gesturing to the chaos.

"Would you go help him?"

"Right, we're on it! Ya!" The two run off side-by-side.

"Goodnight, everybody!" Bagel calls out as fireworks in the shape of the two Ninjas appear in the sky.


Since the parade went up in flames, Amy managed to convince the principal to let 30 Seconds to Math perform outside the school. The stage has been set up as the three are waiting backstage to wait for their announcement. Amy is gripping her microphone in her hands, pacing around and taking deep breaths.

"You okay, Ames?" Randy raises a brow at her.

"Ah, I'm okay. We got this. No problem..." She murmurs to herself. Howard hums to himself, smirking as he gets an idea.

"What if I told you that in exchange for helping us out like you should be, I could help you with this whole stage fright thing?"

"It's not stage fright," She defends to him, crossing her arms. "But I am interested in hearing this plan."

"The only thing you have to do is get up there and let me handle the rest," Howard gestures to himself and they glance at each other. "Relax, when was the last time I let you down?"

"Howard," Randy starts off.

"You know what, don't finish that," Howard holds out his hand.

"I guess I don't have much of a choice but to trust this so-called plan," Amy sighs a little.

"And now, it's time for 30 Seconds to Math, featuring our class president, Amelia Smith!" Principal Slimovitz announces and the three share their handshake before walking onto the stage. Amy puts a hand near her eye as the light is slightly blinding her. She looks at the crowd nervously as Howard takes the mic from her.

"Who wants to hear Amy and Randy sing a duet?!"

The crowd cheers as their eyes go wide, glancing to each other. "Duet? Me and Ran? But we had a solo planned-"

"A-A duet? As in together? As in me and Ames, singing a duet?" He stammers nervously. "Yeah, um, let's not do that," Randy answers, rubbing the back of his neck. Not that he doesn't want to, but this was kind of putting them on the spot here. Howard ignores them and turns to the crowd again.

"Come on. Amy! Randy!"

"Amy! Randy!" The crowd cheers along except for Theresa, who grumbles and crosses her arms.

"Oh my cheese! A surprise duet from 30 Seconds to Math from Amy and Tandy!" Heidi says into her camera. Randy glares at Howard.

"Dude, this is your worst idea ever."

"I'll make it up to you guys later," Howard nudges the two, even though they know he won't. Amy sighs, looking up at Randy.

"Let's just give them what they want. If we don't, that makes us look like shoobs."

He growls in defeat, knowing that she's right as he's handed another microphone. He and Howard start playing, some people clapping along.

Monday well baby I fell for you

Tuesday I wrote you this song

Randy looks right at Amy as she lightly snaps her fingers.

Wednesday, I wait outside your door

Both of them smile at each other at how well their voices sound together.

Even though I know it's wrong

His fingers play a bit faster on his keytar.

Seven days a week

Amy smiles as she feels a little bit more confident now. And yet it was because of Howard that they're even in this situation.

Every hour of the month

She grins at her friends.

Gotta let you know where my heart is coming from

She then turns to Randy, still snapping her fingers.

I shouldn't feel this way

But I gotta say

The audience cheers, waving their hands.

Baby gotta let you know

Bucky bounces up and down a bit.

I will try everything

To make you come closer to me

Amy comes closer to Randy's mic as they both sing into it. Julian and Theresa both frown, but continue enjoying the music.

Baby till you believe

It's not just a phase

She backs away from Randy slightly, smiling at him.

How can I get it through?

You're the one I can't lose

"Whoo!" Heidi shouts from the front of the crowd. Howard rolls her eyes at her.

I'll try 365 days

365 ways to get to you

Howard does the Serpentine first.

To get to you, you, you, you, baby

Amy giggles as she shakes her hips.

Every second

"Yeah!" Someone shouts from the crowd.

Every tick-tick of the clock

Every second

Randy stares at the back of Amy's head, still playing. This song reminds him of his feelings for her, not that he'd ever admit that out loud.

I want you all to myself

All to myself

Howard then does the Reverse Upstairs-Downstairs Hurricane, grinning widely.

Every second, every tick-tick of the clock

I just can't help myself

Amy looks up at Randy, both of them smiling.

Feeling kinda guilty

But girl, I can't stop

I don't want nobody else

She joins his side, the two singing right to each other.

No one else

No one eh-eh-eh-else

Principal Slimovitz spins himself around, hollering happily. "Ha ha!"

I will try everything

To make you come closer to me

Even McFist and Viceroy clap along to the beat.

I'll try 365 days

365 ways

To get to you...

Everyone from the parade cheers as Amy waves to them. "We are 30 Seconds to Math!" All three members exclaim, the boys sliding onto the ground. Amy pulls them up, wrapping her arms around them, laughing.

"What a honkin' performance from 30 Seconds to Math!" Heidi smiles into the camera, the three waving to the crowd.

"So this is what face-melting others feels like!" Randy grins widely.

"We rocked it," Howard brags to them. "All thanks to me."

Amy smacks the back of his head and he glares up at her, rubbing his head. The two wave without paying any mind to him. That was the first time they sang a song together, and it was so powerful! It was like goosebumps just everywhere.

As much as she hates celebrating anything with McFist's name in it, this was definitely something to remember.

Angel: The song they sung was 365 Days from Victorious.
