Author's Note: I am back! And I have another chappie! Mwahaha! Since I'm running out of ideas, this chappie will mainly be focusing the talent contest… and some new characters. But for now, my traditional shout outs!

British Rose- Thanx for liking my story. Stupid gettin' ready to move. (Pouts) I'm glad that I've got good dialogue interaction and I kind of like the lesser characters. You'll also be seeing more of Crazy Joe, but you'll find him later on. Okay, I'll see if I could get a little more description, and I'm glad that it's great so far.

Lav'O'Dolphin- A'ight, so the thing is called a cue. I think it's cute too. And you hit the ice cream thing right on the spot. How'd you know?

On wit da story!

Chapter Eleven: Talent Show Night Part One

Today was Friday; the day of the talent show. Ronnie and Lenny had been practicing their dance, and they had gotten it perfected. So, in other words, they were ready for the talent show.

"I can't believe it!" Lenny said. "It's Friday!"

"Yeah." Ronnie said. "And we go on that talent show thingy… with a lot of people watching."

"Yeah." Lenny said. "Against two other contestants… what if we don't win the contest? What if someone else gets the money? What if…?"

Lenny's train of 'what if' questions were silenced by Ronnie putting a fin to his lips. "Don't think like that!" She said. "Besides, if you don't get the money, you'll just have to stay with me and find a job until you get three thousand clams." She smiled. "Not that I'm complaining or anything."

Lenny sighed. "I guess you're right, I shouldn't be worrying. But still, I can't help but think about it."

"Oh don't worry." Ronnie said. "I bet I can get your mind off things for a while…"

Ronnie was getting closer, and just as Lenny was about to say something…

Ding dong!

'Man!' Lenny thought. 'Why'd the doorbell have to ring now?'

"I guess I'll get the door." Ronnie said.

Lenny watched until Ronnie's tail disappeared around the corner.

'Hey… she's got a blue line across the tip.' Lenny thought.

Meanwhile, Ronnie was answering the door. She thought that it was either Andre or Jamel, seeing as how no one else came around, so she answered the door with an annoyed,

"Yeah, what do ya want?"

To that a voice responded,

"Aww, c'mon. That's no way to treat a friend, much less a family member."

Ronnie looked up in surprised delight. She had known that voice all too well; it belonged to her big brother.

"Ricky!" She shouted, hugging her brother.

"Hey there sis." Ricky said, returning the hug. "Did ya miss me?"

"Of course I did!" Ronnie said, breaking the hug. "Where have you been?"

"Oh, you know." Ricky said. "Here and there. But enough about me. Look at you! The last time I saw you, you were smaller than me! But now… you're almost as big as me! Almost."

"Oh Ricky." Ronnie said with a smile.

Ricky sniffled and pretended to wipe his eye. "My little sister is all grown up and pretty."

"Shut up." Ronnie said. She was still smiling though.

"So…" Ricky said with a teasing smile and voice to match, "You got a boyfriend?"

"No!" Ronnie said. "I've got a friend that's a boy, if that's what you're asking."

"Uh-huh." Ricky said, not quite believing her. "So, can I come in?"

"No, you have to stay out here." Ronnie said sarcastically. She then added in a less sarcastic tone, "Of course you can come in!"

So, Ricky and Ronnie swam into the ship. Lenny was nowhere in sight.

"How's your friend Shelly doing?" Ricky asked, sitting on the couch.

"I dunnow." Ronnie said. "I haven't seen her around that much. But I do that she works at this place where you can play pool." Ronnie paused and thought for a moment. "Maybe I should visit her one day."

"Maybe you should." Ricky said. "I'd like to see how she turned out."

"Oh, she looks the same as always, only much bigger." Ronnie said, sitting next to her brother. "So, why'd you come to visit me today?"

"Well, I heard that there was a talent show today." Ricky answered. "And when I heard that it was in this city, I thought 'hey, why not visit my little sis too.' So, here I am."

"Cool." Ronnie said.

"I feel very jealous of the creatures in that contest." Ricky continued. "Especially since one of the contestants might win a million clams." He paused a moment, shaking his head. "So, are you gonna watch the talent show too?"

Ronnie began to laugh, confusing Ricky very much.

"What?" he asked. "What's so funny?"

Between gasps for breath and laughter, Ronnie managed to say, "I won't be watching the show, I'll be in it!"

"Really?" Ricky asked, surprised. "Wow! What're you doing for the show?"

"Just dancing." Ronnie said casually. "Salsa dancing."

"You've finally mastered it?" Ricky questioned. "'Bout time! I thought you'd never get it right!"

"Yeah, I know how to dance." Ronnie said. "So in your face!" She added, sticking out her tongue.

"What made you do that?" Ricky asked in feigned sadness. "You hurt my feelings."

"You know why I did that." Ronnie said. "Because while I was learning, you said that I'd never learn to dance it."

"And now I'm eating my words." Ricky finished. "You still hurt my feelings, though."

"Aww, I'm sorry." Ronnie said, pretending to comfort him. "You need a hug?"

"Uhh, no. I think I've had enough hugs for the day." Ricky said, getting up from the couch. "Right now, I need some food. Could you point me in the direction of the kitchen?"

"Sure." Ronnie said. "Go straight down the hallway and turn left."

"Thanks." Ricky said. "Be right back."

Ronnie watched with a smile as Ricky headed for the kitchen. She liked her older brother; he was always so easy going and fun! He could be a bit protective though…

'Protective?' Ronnie thought. 'Oh no! I forgot to tell him about Lenny! Oh well, maybe they'll like each other…'

So, Ronnie began to watch TV, hoping for the best. Maybe nothing would go wrong… maybe something will. Only time would tell.

Scene Change

Cody swam through the hallway of the 'Love Boat.' He was looking for his friends; the friends he began to hang out with since Lenny had gone.

"You got any fours?"

"Go fish."

Cody looked in the door. There, in his room, were three sharks playing 'go fish' over a pull-out plastic table.

"Hey!" Cody said from the doorway. "Who said you guys could use my bedroom as a hangout?"

"Aww, c'mon Cody." A Great white that was playing said. "Your room is so nice."

"Uh-huh." Cody said, swimming in his room. He sat down next to the shark that wasn't playing.

"You got any sixes?"

"Go fish."

"You got any threes?"

"Go fish."

"You got any…"

"Arrgh!" Cody yelled. "I'm tired of this! Get a card all ready!"

"Hey, go fish takes a long time to play." The Great white that was playing said. "It takes a lot of talent and especially takes a long time when professionals play…"

"Yeah," The Great white that wasn't playing commented sarcastically, "It takes a lot of talent to guess what card number the other player has. And how can you be a professional go fish player? It's not poker!"

"Yeah, but it's as hard as poker." The Great white that was playing said.

"Oh yeah, it's hard." The Great white that wasn't playing said. "'Oh no, I have to match two cards to win and guess if the other guy has a five or not.' Hard as poker my…"

"Shut up!" Giuseppe shouted. "I just wanna play go fish in peace! And stop wit' da sarcastic comments, Jimmy! You're just mad 'cause you can't play dis game!"

"No I'm not." Jimmy mumbled.

Jimmy was the shark that wasn't playing go fish. He was a friend of Cody's, but not much of a friend of Lenny's, though he did hang out with him a little. The shark that was playing was called Michael. He wasn't Lenny's friend, but he did hang out with Cody after Lenny was gone. And, of course, we all kind of know who Giuseppe is.

"C'mon guys," Michael said, "can't we just play the game?"

"Eh, I don't feel like playin' anymore." Giuseppe said, putting his cards down.

"Me neither." Michael said. "It's so boring around here."

"That's why I've got a surprise for all of us…" Cody said in a hinting voice. "But hey, you might not like it."

"What is it?" Jimmy said. "I don't care what it is, just as long as it doesn't involve cards!"

"Okay, here's the thing." After Cody said that, he pulled out a flyer. "In a city near here, there's this talent show. They'll have a group of three creatures doing stuff…"

"Not interested." The other three sharks said.

"Why not?" Cody asked.

"Because, a talent show just doesn't seem like fun." Giuseppe said. "Besides, you didn't even ask da boss."

"Yes I did!" Cody said. "When I asked him, he didn't seem to care."

"He's been like that since Lenny left." Jimmy remarked. "I think he's still beating himself up for sayin' he can't come back home."

"Yeah." Michael and Giuseppe sighed.

Cody could see that everyone in his room missed Lenny, and wanted to see him again, so he said,

"Oh well, we won't go to the talent show. I just thought we could see Lenny on the way…"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up there!" Michael said. "Whaddya mean by, 'I just thought we could see Lenny?'"

Cody smirked. His plan had worked! "Oh nothing. I just thought that since the city holding the talent show was the closest near her, that Lenny probably could've went there and heard about the talent contest. And if he heard about the talent contest…"

"Then he might be there tonight!" Michael said.

"But, there's a chance that he might not be there." Jimmy said.

"Let's take that chance then!" Giuseppe said. He turned to Cody. "So, Cody, when and where is the talent show?"

"It's at a place called 'Poetry Corner', and it starts at eight thirty." Cody said.

"I guess we'll leave at eight 'o' clock then." Giuseppe said.

"All right!" Jimmy said. "We're going to a talent show!"

Cody smiled, and swam off to do other things. He hoped to see Lenny again, because like most of the mafia, he was worried about him.

Scene Change

Ricky swam through the hallway, heading for the kitchen.

'She said to take a left right…?' he thought. 'Yeah, she said take a left… oh look! I'm here!'

Ricky swam into the doorway of the kitchen, making his way towards the refrigerator. He stopped suddenly when he saw the fridge door open, and a tail fin sticking out of it.

'Who is this?' Ricky thought.

Ricky cleared his throat, trying to get the shark's attention. When that didn't work, he tried another way.

"Who're you!" He shouted.

His sudden shout startled the shark, making him bump his head.

"Oww!" Ricky heard the shark say.

'That got his attention.' Ricky thought.

"Jeez Ronnie," Lenny said, rubbing his head. "You almost gave me a heart attack…" he stopped when he saw Ricky. "You're not Ronnie!"

"No, I'm not." Ricky said in a suspicious tone. "And how d'you know my sister?"

"Your sister?" Lenny asked, confused.

"Yeah, I'm her brother." Ricky said. "Now could you tell me how you know my sister?"

"Umm… okay." Lenny said. "I'm a friend of hers."

"A friend of hers… all right." Ricky said.

"I'm also her dance partner for the talent show…" Lenny said. "It's salsa dancing."

"Oh really?" Ricky said. "You do know the close proximity you have to my sister while you're dancing, right?"

"Yes…" Lenny said, blushing.

"Good." Ricky said. "And since you know that, I just want to let you know something." Ricky went up to Lenny's face, which kind of scared him. "Touch my sister in any way that isn't related to dancing, and you're dead." He said in a menacing tone.

Lenny nodded his head, and quickly swam out the kitchen.

Ricky chuckled to himself, and then tried to find some ice cream in the freezer. 'He seemed to get my message.' Ricky thought. 'Let's see him try to mess with my sister now.'

Meanwhile, Lenny came rushing into the living room.

"I see that you've met my brother." Ronnie said. "He went into 'protective big brother' mode on ya, didn't he?"

Lenny nodded his head, a scared expression on his face. "That guy is scary!"

"Aww, don't worry." Ronnie said. "I'm sure that whatever he said to you, he was just joking."

"Nuh-uh!" Lenny said, shaking his head. "I'm sure he meant it!"

"Maybe he did." Ronnie said, chuckling silently.

At that point, Ricky swam into the living room, holding an ice cream carton and spoon.

"Hey, Ronnie! Didn't mama always tell you to stop buying rum flavored ice cream?" Ricky said, eating the rum flavored ice cream as he spoke. "You know it makes people forget stuff, and this company always puts extra rum in it!"

"Rum flavored ice cream?" Lenny and Ronnie chorused. "That explains everything!"

"Explains what?" Ricky asked. He tried to hold back a smile when he saw the expressions on their faces. He knew he had hit an embarrassing subject, and wanted to see how they would respond.

"Uhh…" Ronnie said, "…Ask Lenny!"

"Me?" Lenny asked.

"Yes you!" Ronnie said. "You're the one who got the ice cream!"

"You're the one who brought it in the first place!" Lenny said.

"I thought it was vanilla!" Ronnie said.

Ricky floated back and watched with an amused face, laughing silently. 'Maybe I should've gotten popcorn instead of ice cream.' He thought.

"It's not my fault you thought it was vanilla!" Lenny said. "It's also your fault the thing happened because you happen to be a big chocolate sauce fanatic…"

"Hey, I resent that." Ronnie said. "I'm not a chocolates sauce fanatic, I just happen to like chocolate. And it seems to me that you like chocolate sauce too, only not on ice cream."

"Hey!" Lenny protested. "That's not fair! You can't bring that up!"

"I just did." Ronnie said, crossing her fins and smirking.

"Ahem." Ricky said, causing Lenny and Ronnie to stop talking. "Are you going to tell me what happened? And what's all this talk about chocolate sauce?"

Lenny was thinking of an excuse to say, while Ronnie knew exactly what to say. She was going to make Ricky ask Lenny a question she knew he couldn't answer.

"Well, about the chocolate sauce," Ronnie said, "I was joking him by saying that he doesn't like it on ice cream."

"He eats it from the container?" Ricky asked.

"Nope." Ronnie said.

"Well what does he like it on?" Ricky asked, getting confused.

"Why don't you ask Lenny that?" Ronnie said with a smirk, looking at Lenny. "He can answer you, can't ya Lenny?"

Lenny was staring at Ronnie, open-mouthed. He knew what she had done; she had made Ricky want to know about the chocolate sauce thing, and she knew he couldn't answer without remembering Ricky's threat.

"Well?" Ricky asked, looking at Lenny. "What's with this whole chocolate sauce thing?"

Lenny began to stutter things and begin incomplete sentences. Ronnie was watching and trying not to laugh, while Ricky was watching with an amused face.

'Apparently something happened that they don't want me to know about.' Ricky thought. 'I think this Lenny character already did something that contradicted my 'touch my sister and you're dead' thing.'

Finally, Lenny thought of an excuse. "I like chocolate sauce on waffles!" he blurted out.

"Waffles?" Ricky said in disbelief.

"Yeah, it's weird, and Ronnie was blackmailing me with it." Lenny lied.

'Dang!' Ronnie thought. 'He thought of an excuse!'

"But," Lenny continued with a glance in Ronnie's direction, "I've got something too. Ronnie also had a part in the chocolate sauce thing. She can tell you about what happened after that, I can't remember."

Ronnie glared at Lenny. Now she was going to have to explain about the chocolate sauce thing. It's hard telling your friend's brother about things that happened, but it's even harder if you're related to the guy!

"Is there something going on that I should know about?" Ricky asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Umm… no!" Ronnie said.

"Then why won't you guys tell me about the chocolate sauce thing?" Ricky questioned.

"Oh, I'll tell you." Ronnie said, finally thinking of an excuse. "It's because we looked like little kids and got chocolate sauce all over our mouths." It was the truth, but not the whole truth.

"Uh-huh…" Ricky said, not quite believing what they were saying. "Well now that that's settled… could you give me a tour around the city?"

"You'll have to get Lenny for that." Ronnie said, getting Lenny back for sticking the question on her. "I'm gonna go see if I can get Shelly." And with that, Ronnie swam out the door, looking for her friend.

Ricky and Lenny just floated there. Finally, Ricky broke the silence by saying,

"So, are you gonna show me around or am I gonna have to find another tour guide?"

Lenny nodded his head and motioned for Ricky to follow him. Even though he was still freaked out because of the whole, 'touch my sister and you're dead' thing, he knew that it was a big brother thing, and Ricky seemed like a fun guy to be around.

Scene Change

Lenny and Ricky swam towards the city. Lenny was talking while Ricky just listened.

"And after that, I should show you my friends, Jamel and Andre." Lenny was saying. "They tease me sometimes, but they're fun to be around, and how I met them is a long story…"

"How'd you meet them?" Ricky asked.

"Like I said, it's a long story." Lenny said.

"I've got time." Ricky said while shrugging. "I'll be here for three days."

"Well, okay." Lenny said. "Here's the story. I was kicked out of my house, and so I had nowhere to go. So, I kept swimming until I got to this city, and decided to ask for directions. So, I found this night club and Jamel was able to get me in, and that's how I met him."

"So, you met Andre next?" Ricky asked.

"No, actually I met Ronnie next." Lenny said. "You see, while I was in the club, this guy named Markie came and slashed me with a knife after knocking me out cold, and that's when Ronnie said that she found me and threatened Markie that if he didn't put me down, she'd punch him out."

Ricky chuckled. "He put you down after that, didn't he?"

Lenny smiled and said, "He sure did. I couldn't believe that even though she didn't know me she actually threatened to punch him out. And I didn't think about that until now…" Lenny paused and saw that Ricky was giving him a look. So, he said quickly, "And so she took me in, gave me stitches, and when I woke up, I was in this bed and ate pancakes."

"I see." Ricky said with a smile. "So pretty much, after that, you became my sister's novio."1

"Huh?" Lenny asked. "What's a novio?"

"Ask Ronnie, she'll tell you." Ricky said. "So, after that you met Andre, right?"

"Yeah." Lenny said. "He found where Ronnie lived and told me that he was sorry for what his cousin did. And after that, we became friends."

"All right, that explains everything." Ricky said. "So, d'you think you could find your friends…?"

"Hey, Lenny!"

Ricky watched as he saw two leopard sharks and a white tip swim towards them. "Who're they?"

"Those are my friends." Lenny said.

"Hey, Lenny!" Jamel said.

"Hey Jamel." Lenny said. "Hey Andre."

"Hey." Andre said.

"Okay, forget the hellos for a second, I've gotta show you someone!" Jamel said. He pointed over to the leopard shark next to him. "This is my brother J.T. He came from another city and he's cool and…!"

"Whoa, Jamel!" J.T. said. "Keep the intro short and sweet, a'ight? I'm not that important."

"Yes you are!" Jamel said. "You're cool!"

"Yeah, whateva." J.T said, rolling his eyes. Then he turned to Lenny. "So, you're Lenny?"

"Yup." Lenny said. "Nice to meet you."

"And I see that Jamel's not the only one who brought someone with him." Andre commented. "Who's he?"

"Oh! You guys, this is Ricky." Lenny said. "Ricky, these are the guys."

"How's it goin'?" Ricky said.

"How do you know Lenny?" Jamel asked. "You his friend or somethin'?"

"Actually, I just met him." Ricky said. "He knows my sister Ronnie, and I met him in her kitchen."

"Your Ronnie's brother?" Andre asked.

"Yup." Ricky said casually.

"Hmm, I thought she was an only child." Jamel said. "Anyway, since you're her brother, there are some things you should know." He added with a smirk directed towards Lenny.

"Like what?" Ricky asked.

"Okay." Jamel said quickly. "I was delivering this pizza, and I forgot my tip so I went back to get it, and when I came back Lenny and Ronnie were… oof!"

Lenny had tackled Jamel and covered his mouth, preventing him from saying anything. Andre and J.T. watched this and laughed, while Ricky floated there and looked confused.

'Lenny and Ronnie what?' he thought.

Lenny was still wrestling with Jamel, and said was saying to him, "Don't you say anything about that!"

"Why not?" Jamel said, his voice muffled.

"Because he threatened me!" Lenny said, uncovering Jamel's mouth.

"Ah, I see. He went into 'protective big brother' mode on you, huh?" Jamel said.

Lenny nodded his head and Jamel laughed.

"What'd he say?" Jamel said. "'Touch my sister and you're dead?'"

"Yup." Lenny said.

"All right, I won't tell him." Jamel said. "But when he finds out on his own, you should know that you're in trouble."

"Thanks for the tip." Lenny said.

"Hey! Are you guys gonna give us a tour or nor?" J.T. called out.

"Yeah! We're comin'!" Jamel shouted back.

So, Jamel, Andre, and Lenny proceeded to give J.T. and Ricky a tour of the city.

Scene Change

Ronnie swam into the 'Pool Place,' looking for her friend Shelly. She was looking around, when suddenly a shark grabbed her from behind.

"Hey there girly." He said in a gravelly voice. "You come around here often?"

"No." Ronnie said, trying to wriggle free from the shark's grasp. But she wasn't able to get out.

"Ya know, you're pretty." The shark said. "How's about you and I go get a soda?"

Ronnie was able to wriggle free, and gave the shark a glare. "No." She said, getting annoyed.

"Aww, c'mon." The shark said, reaching out to touch her.

Ronnie slapped the shark's fin. "No." She said in an extremely annoyed tone. "Now leave me alone. I've got two friends and a brother who wouldn't like the way you're treating me."

The shark just laughed and said, "Oh really? And who are these friends that you speak of?"

"One of them is Shelly. She works here." Ronnie said. "The other one's name is Lenny…"

The shark put on a surprised face. "Lenny?" He asked.

"Yes, Lenny." Ronnie said. "How do you know him?"

"Everybody around here knows him! He's a pool shark! He beat Willie at a game of pool in only one try!" The shark said. "All you had to do was say that you're him!" He added, moving out the way. "I'll just go back to playing pool."

Ronnie watched as the shark swam away to a pool table. 'Lenny's a pool shark?' Ronnie thought. She continued to look for Shelly, and because she wasn't paying attention, she bumped into somebody, also knocking over the shark's cup.

"Oh!" Ronnie apologized. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to… well… here." Ronnie picked up the cup and placed it on the table. "Sorry again. And hey, d'you happen to know where Shelly is?"

"You've found her."

Ronnie looked up and saw that she had found Shelly all along. Shelly seemed to recognize Ronnie too.

"Ronnie?" Shelly said in surprised voice. "Is that you?"

Ronnie nodded her head and smiled slightly.

"I haven't seen you in a long time!" Shelly said. "Sure, it's probably only been a month or so, but that's still a long time! Well, don't just float here! Come in, sit down, and get a soda!"

"That's okay; I'm not very thirst…" Ronnie began, until Shelly cut her off.

"Oh no, I insist." Shelly said, taking Ronnie by the fin and leading her to a table in front of the bar. She took out two sodas and gave one to Ronnie, keeping the other for herself.

Ronnie rolled her eyes and decided to drink the soda anyway. That was one personality trait that she like about Shelly; she wouldn't take no for an answer.

"So, what brings you here?" Shelly asked. "Don't worry about the drink, it's free."

"Well, I came here because I wanted to invite you somewhere." Ronnie explained. "Do you know about that talent show going on tonight?"

"Yeah." Shelly said. "Don't know if I'll go though."

"Would you change your mind if you knew that I was gonna be in it?" Ronnie asked with a smile.

Shelly gasped. "You're gonna be in it? Well in that case, I'll be there!" She paused to take a sip of her soda. "So, what're you doing?"

"Salsa dancing." Ronnie said.

"You finally mastered that dance?" Shelly asked.

"Why does everybody keep asking me that?" Ronnie said in an annoyed tone.

"Sorry, but it's just that… nobody ever thought that you'd get it right." Shelly said.

"Well, I did, so in your face!" Ronnie said childishly, sticking out her tongue.

Shelly stuck out her tongue too; just like they used to do when they were kids. She laughed and said, "So, who's your partner?"

"This guy named Lenny." Ronnie said.

"Lenny?" Shelly asked. "You mean the guy who finally beat Willie at his own game?"

"He must really be somethin'." Ronnie said.

"He sure his! He's a pool shark!" Shelly said. "So… you like him?"

"Maybe." Ronnie said.

"Oooh." Shelly said, smirking at Ronnie.

"Stop it!" Ronnie said. "It's not that serious!"

"Riiiiiight." Shelly said, still smirking. "Well I'll tell you something missy, if it's not that serious, I'll take him off you fins. You wouldn't mind that, now would you?"

Ronnie glared at Shelly. "Shut up."

"You know it's true." Shelly said. "And I will not shut up. I have freedom of speech." She stopped and stared and Ronnie with an annoying smirk.

"Fine, it's true!" Ronnie said. "Just stop staring at me like that!"

"Ha! I knew I'd get you to confess!" Shelly said triumphantly. "I'm just cool like that."

"Don't make me hurt you." Ronnie said in mock anger.

"Sorry." Shelly said with a half smile.

"Well, I guess I better be going." Ronnie said. "I've gotta get ready and… my brother came to visit me today."

"Ricky's back?" Shelly said as she watched Ronnie nod her head. "Well then, I'll see you at the talent show…hey!" Shelly swam up to two barracudas that were fighting. "Sorry about this Ronnie! See you later on!" she called back to Ronnie while trying to break the two up.

Ronnie chuckled and shook her head as she swam out the door. She had seen why she was considered perfect for this job. So, swimming back to her house, she got ready for the contest.

Scene Change

Markie swam up to Willie, who was swimming through the city.

"What do you want?" Willie asked.

"Remember how I said that I could get revenge for you?" Markie said.

"Yeah." Willie said. "You said to meet you on July second."

"Well, I need you to go with me to the talent show." Markie said. "I thought we could wait until July second, but this way, we can get him early."

"How?" Willie asked. "Don't we also want to get his girlfriend?"

"Exactly." Markie said. "You see, he and his girlfriend will be in the talent show. When they get out, we'll kidnap his girlfriend, get him to come to us, and beat him up. Easy as that."

Willie grinned an evil grin. "I like the way you think. But, there's one problem. The guy's friends will notice us."

"Exactly the reason why we're getting those shady trench coats." Markie said. "Now c'mon!"

So, as Willie and Markie swam to the costume store to start trouble, other creatures had no idea of the plan that was going down.

TBC…

Bum, bum, bum! Markie's plan is gonna go into action! What's he gonna do to Ronnie? How will Ricky be of importance in this story? And what about the mafia? Will they see Lenny in the talent show? Only one way to find out, and that's to stay tuned for the next chappie!

Novio- Spanish word for boyfriend.

And for all those who told me what the words I didn't know were, thanx for putting up with my stupidity. Plus, I've updated my profile so you can see my new characters' profiles.

R&R pleez!
