In a Japanese temple, an emperor was enjoying his tea when a bunch of ninjas popped up and attacked the emperor. As they were about to steal the emperor's valuable jewels, one of them started observing one of the vases, "Cut" shouted Big G, "A. J you ruined the shot. Ninjas don't stare at old vases from the music video for one of Mariah Careys music videos!"
"Come on" A. J said as he took off his mask, "I love looking at antiques"
Worried that his father would lose control again, Mr. Guidi decided to talk to the boys, " "This is why we never let him do any directing" Mr. Guidi explained, "He usually acts like a prima donna director. He wants everything to be perfect, that means no misses, no mess ups, and no giggles."
"We're trained to be extras" Kevin smiled, "As long as they don't see our faces, we don't want the fans to freak out."
In the corner, Vincenzo was recording them getting into character for the production of, "The Little Nest" where The Backstreet Boys were being extras for the American filming. After they finished up the scene, both Big G and Vincenzo shouted, "Cut and Print!"
Realizing that he has been heard, Big G turned his head and spotted his grandson filming their production, "Vinny" asked Big G, "What are you doing with that camera?"
"It's for my AV assignment" Vincenzo answered as he adjusted his new glasses, "The teacher told me to film the life in a TV studio"
Big G was okay with it, as long as they do it outside.
After The Backstreet Boys changed into their regular clothes, they caught up with Vincenzo by the classrooms, "So A. J" he said, "Any word from Harmoni"
"She landed a role in the Hauntleywood production, "Bite Another Day"" answered A. J "She's playing a double agent named, "Mina Frennoll "."
"That's cool," replied Vincenzo as he came into the room as turned off his camera.
In the room, The Griff Gals were giving them a lecture on the different types of villains, "Okay now" Faith said, "Mystic Art villains are masters of fancy spells, dark wizards and warlocks seek out dark magic, Supernatural warriors have psychic powers, magician villans have weird powers like casting illusions, teleportation, and ghosts are crazed creatures of darkness from another world. Now, what else do you know about villains?"
Kevin raised his hand with a quiet mouth, "Yes, Kevin" asked Faith.
"Some villains have a variety of weapons and tricks up their sleeves," answered Kevin.
"Correct" replied Faith, "And can the rest of you of you name at least one villain in the categories."
"Madame Merlgana" B-Rok answered. "The archenemy of the Princess Dynamite Patrol"
"From Grimm Brothers fairytales" "Rumplestilsken" Howie D answered
"El Sydney from the Goosebumps episode, "Bad Hare Day" A. J answered.
"Gentleman Ghost of Batman" Nick answered.
Faith was delighted because they did their superhero homework. As Private was going through Vincenzo's stuff, he spotted his camera and took it out, "Be careful" shouted Vincenzo, "I can't get a bad grade on this."
"What are you doing with this anyway?" asked Private.
"I'm doing an AV doc on life at Studio 25." Vincenzo explained as he adjusted his glasses, "And I need to film for my AV class and I decided to do one about The Boys being judges on LADUWS"
Ginger then noticed his new glasses, "I like your glasses" Ginger commented, "It looks good on you."
"Thanks" Vincenzo replied as he adjusted them, "While you guys were away in Colorado, I was having a little vision trouble. First I walked into the girls' room on accident, then I keep grabbing the wrong items and I accidentally broke Dad's makeup kit, thinking it was a box of useless junks."
In the green room, Nella is having her head in the clouds again, coming up with new pranks. "She was thinking either putting hot peppers in the Up With Cakes onion soufflé, play what's New Pussycat on Myla's Music Class, or switch the seal food with beach balls."
"We've got something better" Jessie said to her sister as she walked in, "Maybe you can help Vincenzo on his AV homework assignment."
"What's AV?" asked Nadine,
"AV means Audio Visual" answered Jessie, "Nad, Fay, Gingy, and Dorth are helping Vincenzo interview the hosts of the Friday Night Lineup."
"Can I show off my new cartwheels?" asked Nella, "I'm getting ready for when The Muppets come for Circus Week."
"Si" answered Jessie as she hugged her sister.
Meanwhile, on the set of Up With Cakes, Vincenzo was interviewing his grandfather about the changes The Backstreet Boy made since they came here, "And of course we had to keep Nicholas Gene Carter from pranking everyone in the studio," Big G finished, "We don't want to turn this place into Professor Carter's Circus Nirvana"
As he sat down, he felt a whoopee cushion. Nick and B-Rok laughed from behind, "You two scoundrels" shouted Big G, "Why can't you be the boring and dull ones instead of The Playful Ones?"
"Grandpa" replied Vincenzo, "Camera."
"Finally" Lewis shouted from the bleachers, "Something worth regaining friendship, recording Big G yelling at Frick and Frack for the whoopee cushion prank is a great way to reconnect."
"Forget it, Lewis," growled Vincenzo; "I'm deleting this footage thanks to my brilliant video editing skills."
"Oooh" laughed Lewis, "I'm so scared. By the way, those are the ugliest glasses I've ever seen. It sounds like Big G has been cloned."
They were so mad at Lewis's insults that they decided to give him an old fashioned punishment.
Ten minutes later, he was in the kitchen peeling potatoes, "Do I have to do this" complained Lewis, "This is Hightower property"
"They say that peeling potatoes is a sailor's punishment" Big G answered as he took a sip of his super hot cappuchino, "And I don't want you ruining Vincenzo's assignment nor make fun of his new glasses."
"Why bother" replied Lewis, "He looks like you with hair."
After they left, Vincenzo started filming a little food lecture that Chef Pablo is doing, "Hey Zio Pablo" shouted Vincenzo, "What do you want to say to my class about TV studio cooking."
"Wash your hands," answered Chef Pablo, "Use napkins, and separate trash and recyclables."
"Grazie" replied Vincenzo as they took off.
"Courtesy of Draft to Craft Studios" Nadine said,
Meanwhile in another part of Orlando, Selah was flying through the skies when she spotted some goblins stealing from a candy truck. She had to warn her friends and fast.
Back at Studio 25, our heroes were wrapping up a reenactment scene of The Godfather, "Cut" shouted Vincenzo, "That's a wrap"
"Zanell" wowed B-Rok as he adjusted his tie, "You look like a Mafia princess"
"Yeah, well" Zanell replied as she took off her hat, "I may be a bad actress, but I can mimic my father's tyrannical behavior."
"You really know how to mimic your old man," commented Faith
"Plus The Backstreet Boys look dashing in those white suits" Dorothy cooed as she turns to her favorite Backstreet Boy, "Especially, Nick."
"Don't get too much of me now Dorothy" Nick replied nervously.
"Do you, don't you want me to love you" shouted Selah as she came through the window, "Faith, it's The Sugar Goblins, their at it again."
Faith and the other Griff Gals remembers The Sugar Goblins from when they saw Sweet Surfer live in London. Luckily, everyone thought it was all part of the act along with their surprise appearance as The Griff Gals, "What I remember from goblins" Dorothy said, "Is that they have a bloody sense of humor"
"Looks like it's time for a dental checkup" suggested Nadine.
Backstreet's Back Alright
They found The Sugar Goblins eating up all the chocolate and littering the roads. In order to stop the candy craving madness, Illusioner casted an illusion of a giant cupcake. The Sugar Goblins were completely fooled by the illusion and Ordnance did his supersonic scream. "Excellent" smiled Griffin Girl, "We also remember that Sugar Goblins are completely gullible
"Well" Ordnance said, "We're not very gullible, unlike when Nick, B-Rok, Howie D, and Kev were bamboozled by Pinky and Brain into making Brain the leader."
"Well being leader doesn't matter" Merazul explained, "We're all an ensemble."
"I hate to burst the alignment lecture" Ninja Man replied, "But Sugar Goblins at 3 o'clock."
Before The Sugar Goblins had a chance to attack our heroes, Selah grabbed a goblin, "I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you" shouted Selah.
"Princess Selah of The Helskelter Griffin Tribe" asked the goblin, "What bring you to The Human World."
"Helping my Earth friends," answered Selah as she dropped the goblin into the trash.
Thinking that their might be leftover cupcakes in there, the other Sugar Goblins lifted it up and carried it away, "Looks like they got it under control." Selah said, "Now all that's left is Vincenzo's project and LADUWS Nature Week."
"Not before a little cleanup" Rubyhane replied as she used her superspeed to round up all the trash and placed them in a garbage can.
When Friday night came, it was another episode of Let's All Dance Until We're Sick. This week their doing Nature Week, E-Wave. As everyone was getting ready to present the eco-friendly dances, Big G spotted our heroes dressed as hippies. "Hey Hey Giani" greeted the ten of them, "How much nature did you see?"
Big G was petrified because of the clothes they wore, but Vincenzo thought it would be a good chance to spruce up the show if they dressed as hippies. Big G may have feared about impacts of The Hippie Movement, but remembers the phrase, "The Show Must Go On" so he decided to let them wear their hippie apparel for the show.
Faith and Jessie did a hip hop routine to Destiny Child's Survivor while Kaia, Kaden, Ginger, Nadine, and Dorothy did a tap routine to Rusted Root's Send Me On My Way.
As Vincenzo was getting ready for his Quickstep One Bad Apple, he told Ginger that he got an A on his project. "They'ed even especially like the part where Nella did her little cartwheels and gave me an autograph pic of the musical guest, Teensicle" Vincenzo finished.
Ginger was proud of her boyfriend for doing his best and for accepting his new glasses.
The End.
