It was a beautiful day in Orlando. Everyone was relaxing, until Zenza and Dr. Zora popped up and sprayed red gas towards them, causing them to laugh, "In the way of a clown's giggle" Zenza smiled, "You made a gas that makes humans giggle."
"Don't worry Zenza" smiled Dr. Zora, "I also made another type of gas."
"I bet it would be of good use of alternate fuels." shouted Ninja Man from behind.
Behind Ninja Man, The Griff Gals and the rest of The Cyber Crusaders were following him, "The Cyber Crusaders right on time" Zenza said with an evil grin; "Here's a new gas with a surprising chime."
As she sprayed some green gas on Diamondnix, causing her to fall, "Diamondnix" shouted Ninja Man as he caught the unconscious superhero, "You guys take of Dr. Zora and Zenza, and I'll be by her side till she wakes up."
"Got it, Ninja Man" Power Lord replied, "Time to give Dr. Zora a calming operation."
After they teleported away, the rest of our heroes arrived to the alleyway and changed back. Nick on the other hands was back to normal and was holding the unconscious Dorothy, "She changed back after we landed." Nick explained.
When Dorothy woke up, she saw Nick in a bishie sparkle and a blue background with roses, "I feel like I've seen an angel" sighed Dorothy.
Her friends were getting annoyed because of Dorothy's unrequited love.
During class, the Faith spots Dorothy drawing a picture of Nick and hearts around him. Not wanting to get her in trouble, they took the note and placed it away.
Later at lunch, they spot Dorothy eating her chicken burger while humming, "All I Have To Give". Faith, Ginger, Nadine and Jessie began to worry, "Dorth" Faith said, "Can we talk? It's about your crush on Nick."
"What" Dorothy asked, "I can't help it!"
"That's the problem" Nadine replied, "You need to see a psychiatrist"
"But I don't know a single psychiatrist in Orlando that handles Celebrity Crushes" said Dorothy, "What am I going to do?"
Behind them, a mysterious woman wearing a purple suit gave Dorothy a business card.
Dr. Zachary Rugg
Celebrity Crush Psychiatrist
"Maybe this Dr. Rugg can help us," suggested Jessie.
Dorothy decided to go to him after school because Big G is lecturing on medical dramas, which she hates the most.
After school, her aunt and uncle dropped her off at the building, "We'll be back for you in an hour" informed Mrs. Booth as she and her husband took off.
In the building, Dorothy came up to a nurse, "Excuse Me," she said, "I'm looking for Dr. Zachary Rugg"
"Second floor, second door on the right," answered the nurse.
As Dorothy left for the stairs, the nurse turned her head, revealing to be Zaria.
When she got to Dr. Rugg's office, she saw a middle aged man in a doctor's suit looking at the lovesick Dorothy, "Dorothy Hart"
"That's me," answered Dorothy.
After she sat down, Dr. Rugg looked off her file, "It appears you're madly in love with Nicholas Carter of The Backstreet Boys," he said.
"I am" Dorothy confessed, "And it all took was a little video of him on Fully Booked in England."
"Tell me about Lewis Hightower III" advised Dr. Rugg, "What are some negative things about him."
Dorothy thought it was off topic, but decided to answer it because it's therapy, "That bloody show-stopping wannabe" asked Dorothy, "He's always a stage hog"
Little did she know, is that the words of her mouth zoomed all the way to Studio 25, where Lewis was practicing his dance routine. When the words surrounded him, he shrunk, "All right" shouted Lewis, "Who turned Studio 25 into a giant castle?"
Back at Studio 25, Dr. Rugg had another thing to talk about, "Tell me about Big G" he said
"He's a big mouth who never lightens up!" growled Dorothy.
Then the words from her mouth struck Big G, who was making a list on who to cast for an upcoming teen spy movie. He looked up and saw that he was shrinking, "Alright" shouted Big G, "Who turned me into a rat."
"Officer Alfonso" asked Dr. Rugg.
"He always worries so much" Dorothy answered as she accidentally shrunk him
"And how about everyone else" asked Dr. Rugg.
"Their all a bunch of talent-less twits!" shouted Dorothy as she shrunk everyone.
"I think we're done" replied Dr. Rugg, "You can go home now"
"But it has only been five minutes" said Dorothy.
"I said, "You can go"" growled Dr. Rugg as she left with her backpack on.
After she left the building, Zaria came in, "Nice job on the whole negative feeling therapy" commented Zaria, "I haven't seen anyone with anger so heavily. Looks like posing as a teacher worked like a charm, now she's causing words of harm."
As soon as Dr. Rugg removed his glasses, he removed his latex mask as well, revealing to be an alien hired by Zator. "So what is your fiendish plan to ridicule The Cyber Crusaders?" he asked.
"Simple question that you ask" answered Zaria, "It all started with a gassy task. Dr. Zora made a gas called worthlessium; it is like a powerful hatred plutonium. The laughing gas bit was a way to lure the heroes. With on spray Dorothy will be come a worthless zero."
Outside the building, Dorothy decided to go clear her head as Diamondnix.
Along the way, she saw that the laughing gas has worn off on the good citizens of Orlando.
When she arrived at Studio 25, the place was as quiet as a mouse. As she looked down, she spotted her friends as tiny as mice. As she lifted them and placed them on Alfonso's deck, she told them about her strange therapy session, "There were some strange things about Dr. Rugg" she admitted, "He didn't ask me anything about celebrity crushes and he somehow knew the names of some of the people at Studio 25."
"Yeah" replied Faith, "That seems a bit weird for a psychiatrist."
"Wait a minute" asked the tiny Zanell "Zachary Rugg, Zagg Rugg. He was once a therapist for my father, but got kicked out after Dr. Rugg accidentally."
"This is just like that Larry Boy cartoon, "Leggo My Ego" recalled Ginger, "Where The Alchemist sprayed him with a strange chemical zapped him and made Larryboy feel worthless. I bet that green spray made Dorothy act moody and even more Nickstruck."
"Nickstruck" asked Nick.
"When she becomes completely lovesick for you" explained Griffin.
"Luckily," Princess Selah said, "I was showing The Penguins, Kehlani, and Beatbox Princess Chana's castle when that crazy shrinking has happened. Before Zenza and Dr. Zora abducted them, we hid them in my feathers so they won't get caught."
"When I become queen" said Zanell, "I'm going to make sure he doesn't do any therapy schemes."
"You make a good queen." Dorothy commented as the words of her mouth made Zanell her normal size again.
Looking at her size, Zanell realized something, "If you say something positive about everyone" suggested Zanell, "It could change everyone back."
Thinking quickly, Dorothy came up with something positive for her friends, "Faith," she said to her cousin, "You showed me the wonders of being different and girly girls like me can have a little tomboy every now and again."
With the words from her mouth, she changed Faith back to normal, "Ginger" said Dorothy, "You are the nicest girl I've met, equally nice as Howie D"
Howie D and Ginger chanced back and high fived each other.
"Nadine" confessed, Dorothy, "Remember when you took me to the aquarium to show me how dolphins lived. That was smashing."
"And Jessie" Dorothy admitted, "You really know how to stand up against bullies, even the ones who pick on Donovan all the time."
"AJ is always spicing up fashion, B-Rok shows the importance of getting crazy, and Kevin is so responsible" continued Dorothy as the four boys turned back to normal" And Nick-"
The others became nervous, because Dorothy might do something romantic again, "You are a smashing artist and aquatic lover.
Hearing the words, Nick changed back to normal, "Now that were at the right size" Nick said, "Let's give that phony doctor a scheduled meeting"
Backstreet's Back Alright
At Kolton Dukes Park, they were going around looking for that phony psychiatrist. By a giant eagle robot, Dr. Rugg couldn't help but notice that some of the good citizens are fine, "Did I forget to mention with our side effect powers" Zaria admitted as she blushed with embarrassment, "The laughing gas lasts up to two hours."
"Yes" Dr. Rugg annoyingly replied, "You did forget to mention that. It sounds like they need a laugh therapy"
"Not for long," shouted Centauremerald as she shot an arrow towards the laughing gas ray, causing it to explode and make Dr. Rugg and Zaria laugh uncontrollably.
Before they hit the ground, Dr. Zora teleported them back to the castle, "Someone get me some black tea." laughed Dr. Rugg, "That always calms me down."
Back on Earth, Griffin Girl flew up and grabbed the jar of shrunken Studio 25 victims, "Go on Diamondnix" said Griffin Girl as she opened the jar, "Say something positive about them."
Diamondnix took a deep breath and looked at the shrunken victims, "The Hightowers may be snobbish" she admitted, "But we wouldn't be anywhere in show business if it weren't for them. Big G, he does remind us of the past, like the 1960s when TV becomes popular, Mr. and Mrs. Guidi have always good parental figures since I came here to America Vincenzo does know the true meaning of family, DJ Jalen really knows how to play the turntable, and everyone at Studio 25, they're all smashing!"
As soon as the words struck the victims, they all popped out of the jar and changed back to normal. DJ Jalen, Vincenzo, Cristian, Sarai, Langston, and Elyse knew that had to keep everyone from finding out about The Backstreet Project, so they asked Big G if he could treat everyone to some gelato, "Good idea, Vinny" agreed Big G, "Nonna Aurelia knew a really good gelato shop on Ruddy Street. Everyone, gelatos are on me."
Mr. and Mrs. Guidi were happy because he's finally giving free ice cream to everyone at Studio 25.
Little did they know, is that The Cyber Crusaders and The Griff Gals hopped onto The Hover Cycles and headed off to meet them. "So where is this Ruddy Street gelato shop" asked Ordnance.
"According to the maps" Merazul answered, "It's called The Amber Clove, it was named after a rare Italian leave used for early gelato"
"You guys handle your gelato shop duty" Skipper suggested, "We need to go to Sky High for a lecture on stealth."
Then Selah and The Penguins of Madagascar flew into the sky.
As soon as they reached The Amber Clove, they changed back into their regular forms and decided to get some gelato as well.
Inside, they all decided to order the restaurants famous, "Amber Clove Mega Sundae Challenge" where they have to complete the sundae less than one hour and they get their picture taken on the wall. After they paid for it, they sat down.
Suddenly, the servers came with a sundae with a variety of flavors, topping and was in a big glass bowl.
By the corner, Mr. and Mrs. Booth were finishing their coconut gelato when they spotted their niece, daughter and their friends eating the ultimate sundae, "Dorth is out early" Mrs. Booth said in confusion, "But at least she's doing The Sundae Challenge with her friends."
"Why can't I do that?" asked Mr. Booth.
"Because you did it once and you barfed" recalled Mrs. Booth.
As soon as everyone from Studio 25 came in, they spotted our heroes doing The Sundae Challenge, "I've seen customers do The Challenge, but I've never seen it done by ten people before."
"Why bother" snickered Lewis, "Those Backstreet Bums and Girlies will never win this challenge, they'll get poisoned."
"Man" growled Dorothy as she gulped, "Lewis is such a big mouth."
They froze and saw that nothing happened to Lewis, meaning that talking about her positive emotions about everyone at Studio 25 changed everything back. Annoyed by their enthusiasm, Lewis left, "He doesn't like gelato anyway," recalled Big G, "Now let's get dig into the gelato."
After our heroes finished up the sundae they were a mess, but they still had the energy to smile for the picture, "Okay" said the soda jerk, "Say: Amber Clove"
"Amber Clove" shouted The Backstreet Boys and The Griff Gals as the sodajerk took the photo.
The End.
