Later at the gymnasium, the new second graders are all dressed in their PE uniforms preparing for gym class.

Coach Pacowski, their new PE teacher, blows his whistle to catch his students' attention. "Good morning, new second graders. My name is Coach Pacowski, and I'll be your new gym teacher for the rest of this school year! Got that?!"

"Sir yes sir!" Winston and Skippy responded like soldiers responding to their generals.

"What about you guys?" Pacowski turned his attention towards the rest of the gym students.

"Yes sir," they responded blandly.

"Do I hear a mouse squeaking?! LOUDER!"

"YES SIR!" the kids screamed.

"Good. Now then," the coach explains, "today we are going to play a game of dodgeball." He picks up a red dodgeball and spins it on his index finger. "But before that we are going to do some stretching as a warm up. Now who would like to lead the stretches?"

"I would!" Lana raises her hand.

"Then come up here!"

Lana walks to the front of the class as told and faces them. "On the count to three! One… two… three… GO!"

The students start stretching with the exception of Skippy who is wondering if he can normally stretch without interference from his superpower. "Okay. Easy now…"

Lana stretches her arms and legs as her classmates follow along. Skippy tries to imitate them, but he accidentally stretches his arm across the gym, disrupting the stretch routine and catching the students by surprise.

"Ah crud," Skippy uttered.

"This isn't good." Lana worried.

"What in the name of fitness?!" Pacowski could not believe his eyes as well as his pupils.

Realizing his mistake, Skippy quickly stretches his arm back. "Phew! Thank goodness no one saw-" He spoke too soon. He notices his classmates staring at him with shocked expressions. "What?"

"Uh…" Lana thinks of a fib. "Boy! The heat inside this gym sure can cause some hallucinations! Am I right?"

"Uh, yeah! Definitely seeing things!" Skippy smiles nervously, hoping the class would buy the lie.

"Fair point," Pacowski agrees.


After the warm up, the gym students are now playing a game of dodgeball.

"Missed me!" Lana calls out after she dodges a ball thrown by Lola. The latter growls in frustration from this.

"Oh Lana." Skippy holds a dodgeball.

"Yeah?" The dirty tomboy prepares to evade another ball.

"Take this!" He throws the ball at Lana.

"Oh no you don't!" The mud-loving Loud jumps out of the way in time. The ball flies toward Claudette who was standing behind Lana and hits her straight in the face. "OWWW!" The French beauty queen yelled in pain.

"Claudette!" Chinah and Jackie run up to their distressed friend.

"Claudette, are you okay?!" Jackie asked in utter worry.

"How do you say…? That smarts!" Claudette exclaims.

"I'll take that as a somewhat yes."

"Huh?" Chinah was searching for Skippy to berate him for causing Claudette's injury, but he is nowhere to be seen. "Where did he go?" she asked, confused.

Unbeknownst to the regional pageant champions, Skippy is on the ceiling inflated with Lana hanging onto his PE shirt.

"Phew! That was close!" Lana is relieved.

"Yeah. I would've been dead meat if I was still on the field," said Skippy.

"I'm hoping nobody looks up."

While Lana and Skippy aren't looking, Jane attempts to throw the ball at the children of the opposing side, but instead she accidentally throws it up and hits Skippy in his inflated back. The forceful impact of the ball pushes the inflated, floating boy towards a pointy piece of wood.

"This is gonna hurt," Skippy comments.

The pointy stick pierces through his inflated belly, causing the trapped air to quickly escape. It was not long before Skippy as well as Lana are sent flying all around the gymnasium due to the escaping air. The students all stop throwing dodgeballs at each other and watch the deflating fiasco with mixed feelings of shock and confusion.

"Thiiis iisss gonna beeeee a loooooong episoooooooooode!" Lana screamed as she held on to the deflating boy's PE clothes to dear life.

Eventually, Lana and Skippy crash into a wall. All of the air had finally exhausted, and both kids fell to the floor. Skippy is now completely deflated and back to his normal size.

Coach Pacowski runs up to them, concerned. "Are you kids alright?!"

"Yeah. I'm fine," Skippy replies. "Please keep this a secret."

"I won't tell a soul."
