In her office, Zarina was going over a few files on the dancers when Cristiano came in. "Zarina, I was thinking," he said, "perhaps The Backstreet Boys could come up with the weeks. They say anything is possible with them."
"I'm not sure," Zarina replied. "I heard that your people's writing department is responsible for the whole operation."
Cristian smiled about what she meant. "Don't you worry your redhead, baby," he replied. "I'll be watching the boys for a while."
Later, he found the Backstreet Boys giving dance rehearsal to some of the contestants. They were dancing to their hit song "Get Another Boyfriend" when they ended it with a pose. Everyone was worked up from the two-hour rehearsal.
"Congrats on the dance number," commented Cristian. "Now take a water break, everyone."
After the contestants left, he told the Backstreet Boys to come here. As soon as Cristian told them about the creator's block the writers of the show were having, they agreed to fill in for them. Though they just started filling in the writer's shoes, they already came up with two themes - Beach Week and Backstreet Week. Cristian thought that those were great ideas because Florida has many beaches and that the show wanted to give the judges a chance to perform.
"How many writers are there?" asked Kevin.
"Just three writers," Cristian answered. "Mostly Big G is firing the non-relatives for cutbacks. He's keen about his family."
"So am I," Howie D interrupted.
With one look with each other, they agreed to help come up with ideas for the themes of the week, "We gotta go," said Kevin. "We need to pick up Faith, Ginger, Nadine, Jessie, and Dorothy at Sally Ride Middle School."
After they left, Cristian told Big G and Mr. Guidi about the Backstreet Boys' creative errand. Big G was annoyed because there was supposed to be twelve themes and not fifteen, "Dad" said Mr. Guidi, "We figured that the Backstreet Boys and the backup dancers could give an individual demonstration with the audience. Plus, we're making cutbacks."
"Right," Big G replied. "Mostly I'm going to show reruns of old TV shows Studio 25 filmed."

Meanwhile, at Zator's castle, Zaid was polishing the pots when he spotted a zookeeper-like bounty hunter. "Who are you suppose to be?"
"I am Zayne," the hunter answered in an Australian accent. "Emperor Zator sent me to unleash destructions at zoos thanks to my lion bots. So bug off, mate."
Poor Zaid didn't like it.

At Sally Ride Middle School on Earth, the Backstreet Boys were there to pick the girls up. As they were leaving, Ginger's mom, Koken Chirohiro, and their science teacher began to worry. Local group Ruff and Tumble were supposed to perform for the school's 25th anniversary. Unfortunately, the lead singer's grandmother got sick and couldn't be there. She decided to go to The Tiki Hut for dinner, hoping she would find them there.

Later at The Tiki Hut, they started coming up with ideas. They tried ballet and toys, but Jessie and A.J. thought it was too silly. Then Dorothy tried Romance, but they all knew that it would be out of control. The more they worked, the more pressure they got. As they were thinking, Mr. Booth gave them some sundaes on the house.
As they were eating their sundaes, they wondered why would Mr. Booth just gave them sundaes, "You're like the Beatles of boy bands," Mr. Booth said. "You deserve to have free sundaes."
With the words from his mouth, they decided to let one theme be Beatles Week. Kevin then came up with the idea of Hometown Week because they needed to remember where they came from, "That's true," B-Rok agreed, "We can't forget Kentucky."
"What about Backups Week?" asked Jessie. "You said to give the judges a chance. Why not backup dancers too?"
"This is good money-saving," replied A.J. "And Backstreet Week."
"Remember your music video 'Backstreet's Back'?" asked Ginger. "You guys were monsters. So perhaps...Monster Week."
"Good one, chicha," replied Howie D.
By the time they finished their sundaes, the sundaes started to glow. Luckily, no one was in the kitchen thanks to a birthday party for one of the chefs. They were all celebrating in the employee lounge. They snuck into the kitchen and transformed.
Backstreet's Back Alright!
Rubyhane teleported them to their hover cycles and they took off.

By the time they got to Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens, the whole place was a mess. Tigers were wrecking snack carts, elephants were destroying benches on accident, and bears were knocking down signs. Then they got the idea that another theme should be Nature Week, to remind everyone that helping the environment is very important, "That's good and all," shouted Centauremerald as she got out a bow and arrow, "But maybe a little archery skill will show you the way!"
Everyone thought that Centauremerald was going to kill some elephants, but really, a net popped out of the arrow and covered them. She assured them, "A little trapping power."
Ordnance was so annoyed by Centauremerald's trick, he accidentally stubbed his foot on a zebra podium and did a really loud scream. Centauremerald quickly recognized it as a supersonic scream.
Soon, they could see Zayne and he had trapping equipment. "Poor humans," he said with an evil smile, "trying to liberate some packederns from a hunting net. I was going to do that first and make soup out of them."
Our heroes were disgusted by Zayne's cravings for elephant soup. With his laster knife, he freed the elephants. Zayne used his acrobats to hide on the elephant and hide somewhere in the Zoo.
Ordnance, Ninja Man, Centauremerald, and Diamondnix decided to go to the movie lot, Top Speed, Griffin Girl, Illusioner and Rubyhane decided to go to the reptile wing, and Power Lord, and Merazul decided to go to the monkey wing.

By the vast movie lot, the projector was playing the movie version of Socs. Then they came up with two new themes - "Movie" and "'50s".
"And because of Dorothy's British accent," Ninja Man said, "we'll do an international week."
"You realize that she's younger than you," Ordnance reminded him.
"I know" Ninja Man replied. "But we can still be friends."
Diamondnix was touched by Ninja Man's suggestion, and then she spotted the lions tearing up the place. Thinking quickly, she made an ice prison around them, "Alright, Dorothy," commented Centauremerald.
Power Lord and Merazul both needed a way to get in the monkey wing. Power Lord couldn't break down the door, because that would be destruction of personal property. Above them, they saw an open window. This was their only chance to get in. Thanks to a little lift from Power Lord's super strength, Merazul got in and opened the door.
They looked around the place, only to find an old flier for a circus.
Cirque De Carnevale presents,
Fairytales of Flight
"We have two more inspirations," Power Lord said. "Cirque du Soleil and Fairytales."
Merazul was amazed by Kevin's inspiration. Without a single trace of Zayne, they decided to leave.

At the reptile wing, Top Speed, Griffin Girl, Illusioner, and Rubyhane were looking around when they spotted Zayne releasing crocodiles. "Crikey," he said. "You guys are ruining my animal liberation."
"Liberation?" asked Illusioner. "More like animal wreckage."
Just as Zayne was about to grab hold of him, "Illusioner" faded. It was an illusion set up by the real Illusioner. "Looking for me?!" he shouted as he kicked Zayne.
"Nice trick, Howie," commented Rubyhane.
After she used her fairy dust to transport the crocodiles back to their habitat, she used it again to find the others at the gift shop. They all gathered up all the animals and placed them back into their habitats, except for the spider monkeys, who were on a tumbling tree. After Rubyhane and Top Speed saved the falling monkeys, the tree started falling.
"Quick, Ordnance!" shouted Centauremerald/ "Use your sonic screaming!"
With one scream, the tree flew into the air and landed in another area.
"A screaming sensation I am," Ordnance said.

At the Reptile Wing, Zayne was summoned at once by Emperor Zator. He teleported to Zator's castle.
In his castle, Emperor Zator was angry at Zayne for failing him. As punishment, Zator made him clean the stables, which he hated doing.

On Earth later on, our heroes were driving to The Tiki Hut. They needed one more theme for the dance show. Thinking about their experience these last few months, they decided to do Superhero Week. The only problem was now, what were they going to tell Mr. Brand and Big G?, "We'll just tell them that we're fans of the Cyber Crusaders and the Griff Gals."
At The Tiki Hut, they saw Ms. Chirohiro. She explained to them about the 25th anniversary and was wondering if they could be the replacement act. Figuring this would showcase the show, they decided to do it.
XxoxX
The next day at Sally Ride Middle School, Mrs. Chirohiro was going up. Everyone was happy because the Backstreet Boys made it the best anniversary ever. Vincenzo and Lewis were in the audience as well, "I'm telling you," Lewis said to Vincenzo, "those Backstreet Boys are nothing but a pain. Your grandfather seems to hate them."
"Lewis," replied Vincenzo, "they're not bad boys. Plus everyone liked the theme ideas for LADUWS."
Lewis growled, but everyone cheered.
The End.
