Welcome back, dear readers! I probably should have waited a few days before posting the next song fic, but I want to get them all done before I go back to college in about a week and a half. This one is based on the song from the Spongebob Squarepants Musical, "Hero is Our Middle Name". This is the last one from that musical, I promise. Unless I get an idea. But that probably won't happen. Anyway, see you at the bottom of the page.

Hero Is Our Middle Name

Takes place after Nora's first world meeting, after defeating her second player, after hurrying into Germany's house to avoid talking to Prussia, and before Nora's second player escapes. Jason and Tokyo take a break from studying for Jason's "become a capital" test to boost Nora's confidence in her ability to stop world war two.

"Haha-wow-I'm-just-going-to-go-to-bed-now-I'm-tired-from-all-that-fighting-Germany-you-can-put-my-2p-in-your-basement-wow-I'm-tired-goodnight!" Nora rushed past Prussia and up the stairs.

Prussia looked at the Axis trio. "Who the heck was that?"

Nora hurried up to the bathroom she had put Jason and Tokyo in, knocked three times, and said quietly, "July 28th".

"Isn't it funny that the date you chose a year or two ago ended up being the release date for one of the worst animated of 2017?" The Author asked derpology.

"That movie wasn't even a thing when I chose the code word," derpology replied.

"Yeah, I know. Still, it's funny. Funnier than the movie, anyway."

"Have you even seen that movie?"

"Have you?"

"…Fair point."

Jason and Tokyo peeked open the door. "Care to explain what that was all about?" Jason asked.

"What the heck did your brother say?" Tokyo asked in Japanese.

"What the heck did she say?" Jason asked in English.

"What the heck did your brother say?" Tokyo asked again in Japanese.

"What the heck did—"

"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH," Nora put a finger over Jason and Tokyo's mouths. "SSSSSshush. I'll explain everything in my room. Come on." Nora led the capital and soon-to-be-capital to a bedroom.

"This is my bedroom, actually—" Tokyo began.

"I told you to shush! Now, here's what happened…"

Nora explained everything that had happened to her since the world meeting. If you want to actually know what that means, you'll have to be a good little reader and read derpology's story.

"You met Mother Nature?" Tokyo gasped.

"Was she in your animation and mango series?" Jason asked.

"Yes, I met her, and no, she wasn't," Nora replied. "I mean, it's nice to have a decent parental figure in my life, even if I'll probably never see her again. But you're both missing the point!" Nora began to pace in front of the two of them. "I thought I'd just have to deal with years of prejudice against minorities and cultural differences, but now I have to deal with these almost supernatural second players!" Nora flopped onto the bed and covered her face with her hands. "I don't think I can do this…"

"Hey, hey…" Jason uncovered Nora's face. "That might have been the case when you were going it alone… but you have the two of us! That's something, isn't it?" Jason pulled Nora into a sitting position. Music began to play. "If you want the war to end tomorrow, wallowing in sorrow won't get you anywhere! You'll find all the strength you need inside, like a sea god riding tides! Don't let your moment pass by, come on! Hero is our middle name!" Jason clapped his hands, Tokyo bouncing to the music. "Fixing trouble is our game! Just give it the old know-how!" Jason put a finger to his temple. "There's no better time than now! Don't give up and don't give in!"

"Hai!" Tokyo joined in. "If you're thinking 'sink or swim'-"

"How is she speaking English?" derpology asked.

"Sh!" The Author shushed.

"Oh, yeah!" Jason cheered. "Courage is your claim to fame when 'hero' is your middle name!"

"And 'hero' is our middle name!" Jason and Tokyo high-fived.

"That's nice, you two, but my middle name is… well… it doesn't matter," Nora said, getting up and pacing again. "My history books aren't just a prediction; it's not science fiction, there's nothing I can do at all—"

"Why are you waiting for the bottom to fall?" Jason asked. "Not the time to drop this big blue ball!" Jason held up a globe. "All for one and one for all!"

"All for one and one for all!" Jason and Tokyo cheered.

"All for one and one for all!" Nora smiled slowly, getting into the song. "Hero is my middle name!"

"All right!" Jason cheered again.

"Fixing trouble is my game! Just give it the old know-how!"

"There's no better time than now!" The three of them sang.

"And 'hero' is my middle name!" Nora pumped a fist. "Alright, guys, let's do this! Three heroes, to the rescue!"

"Team of Tres, to the top!" Tokyo cried.

"Us, go!" Jason cheered.

The music swelled one more time. "So come on! Hero is our middle name! Fixing trouble is our game!"

"Just give it the old know-how!" Nora put a finger to her temple and winked.

"There's no better time than now!" They all sang. "Don't give up and don't give in, if you're thinking sink or swim! Courage is your claim to fame when hero is your middle name! And hero is our middle name! And hero is our middle name! Hero is our middle name!" The music stopped.

Germany poked his head into the room. "Um… I put your second player in my basement, Suko. Were you three just… singing?"

Nora, Jason, and Tokyo looked at each other. "…How much did you hear?" Nora asked.

"Something about heroes? Also, don't say 'hero', Jason, your American is showing. Normally," Germany returned his gaze to Nora, "I'd make you come downstairs and introduce yourself to my brother, but given everything we've been through today, I'll allow you to go to bed. Guten Nacht."

"Good night," Nora, Jason, and Tokyo chorused in their respective languages. Germany left the room.

"We should probably stop singing about our plans," Nora said.

"Yeah," Jason said.

"Hai," Tokyo said, no longer speaking English for the sake of a song.

They went to their respective bedrooms and fell asleep.

The date "July 28, 2017" is the date the Emoji Movie came out. Last I checked, it had, like, two percent on Rotten Tomatoes, give or take. The more you know.

I found these lyrics online, but the actual recording of the song may be slightly different, with more dialogue and/or lyrics. Still, it's a cool motivational song. I hope you liked it.

So, what did you think? Leave a review, tell me what you thought, and I'll see you again soon; maybe even tomorrow! Until then!
