All right, before I begin the chapter, there are two things I like to address.
One, I want to say that whilst I work on this project, I'm also working on some Nicktoon one-shots, check them out when you can.
And second, I have been receiving a few complaints saying "When are you going to do this episode", or "This episode is in Season 1, what is taking you so long?" or even "Do you really need this unnecessary filler chapters when you can combine them into one freaking chapter?" Well, I like to put in a response to this.
First of all, as I said in Chapter 3 or 4 of the story, I did warn you guys that there's going to be a mix-up of episodes, so some Season 2 or Season 3 episodes are going to be in Season 1 to follow a timeline. Second, while some episodes aren't necessary for Rhonda to be in, I just want to have a timeline continuum for the stories to make sense, you see? So, the reason these episodes you are waiting for aren't up yet is because I don't want to have a MAJOR timeline skip and possible plot holes as a result! That's the reason why I started Rhonda and her friends in third grade, you see? As for why I don't combine these chapters and make them one chapter... I like to follow a new episode continuity, so keep in mind, while I do agree that some prologues for major episodes are short while being told via flashback, I feel that they set up nicely for a new adventure. Now, a question I want to ASK you guys... are you actually READING the chapters all the way through, or are you just skimming them? Be honest with me.
So yeah, in conclusion, if I followed the way the episodes went, I'd have a lot of plot holes and major timeline skips. Are you guys getting what I'm saying? That's why we have a continuing story with the episodes. Are you guys FINALLY understand this? If you don't get it... then I'm sorry, but I don't know how to help you with that.
Anyway, here comes another musical episode! It's sort of going to be having the episode of 'Partners' as a little bit of a side story, BUT it's going to set up for the end of the first season arc, as you may call it. Anyway, enjoy!
As I was going to bed that night, I sighed as I looked up at the ceiling. The voice in my head... why was I always hearing it. Why did I suddenly hear it when Olga was around? Was the voice the cause of these headaches?
I decided to let sleep take me. Maybe all the answers lie within my own dreams...
There I was... wandering around in my own dreams. I noticed a door nearby... it wasn't the door I was looking for, but I decided to enter it anyway. Maybe the door I was looking for was in it. I opened the door and walked inside.
I looked around the area as I saw a few doors around me. I tried to find the door the voice specified, but it seemed to be hard to find.
I then noticed another door that was marked 'Musical Dream'. Curiously, I decided to open it as I suddenly fell in.
I slowly looked around at the darkness when all of a sudden, I saw Nadine, Phoebe and... me? We were all wearing 1920s suits with top hats and canes as music started up.
"Hey, Rhonda, you're nervous about confessing to Arnold, aren't you?" Phoebe asked the dream me.
"I sure am!" my dream version self said.
"Yet, despite your popularity, I don't have a word to describe your cowardice!" Nadine said to the dream me.
"Well, I do!" Phoebe smiled.
"You do?" Dream me asked in curiousity.
"Why, yes!" Phoebe gave a big smile.
(To the tune of 'Tubular Boobular Joy' from 'Mystery Science Theater 3000')
(Phoebe)
You're scaredy-baredy
Tongu-lous-twisted-ous
Cowardly-louderly scared!
(Rhonda)
You say I'm a coward,
A blue bellied Howard?
(Phoebe)
As long as you aren't paired!
(Nadine)
Is she doomed to failure,
Just like the sailor
Once known as Popeye?
Phoebe smirked as she picked out a book from a tall bookshelf that appeared behind her.
(Phoebe)
Well, be honest with yourself,
Up in this tall bookshelf,
You'll see that I never lie!
(Rhonda, Nadine, Phoebe)
It's an honest to God,
A just recently flawed,
Relationship doomed to fail!
But hopefully they're friends,
Will remain 'til the end,
Just like Chip and Dale!
But don't give up, Rhonda,
You're like a Honda,
Chugging away to your boy!
(Nadine)
Don't worry, Rhonda!
(Rhonda)
I'll never give up!
(Nadine)
Give him that first kiss
(Phoebe)
Just make the first move...
And then, Nadine and dream me sang four long words at the same time as Phoebe singing some rhymes.
(Rhonda and Nadine)
Don't, I/you, play, this, plooooooy!
(Phoebe)
Don't be a coward,
Just be forward,
No tongue-twisting,
No more resisiting,
Please kiss the boy,
Try not to be coy
And don't try to play this ploy!
Hai!
As soon as the song was done, a curtain went down as I waited for the scene to change. A few moments later, I saw a new scene, this time with Olga on center stage. This time, I heard a new song play as Olga looked up.
(To the tune of 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen')
(Olga)
I've been alone for so long for years,
Not a one to look down to
I have horrible parents,
Ones that don't have a clue.
All I wanted in my life
Was just a younger sib...
It may come true,
I know now, it's a fib.
Will I ever be all alone,
Be alone with just my trophy throne,
Will I ever just be for show?
A dream me then appeared next to Olga as she patted her on the shoulder. Olga looked up to her and smiled.
Maybe not anymore!
(Rhonda)
Let it out,
Let it out,
Just vent it out in the open!
Let it out,
Let it out,
I'm helping you in your moment!
Please, Olga,
Ditch your family while you can!
Let them rage all they want!
It's your life and you're your own woman!
The song ended as the curtain closed. The curtain opened up to reveal Curly with dream me, Nadine and Phoebe watching as Curly coughed.
"We need to save Tucker from Lana Vail as soon as possible!" Curly said. "We need to be... ready!"
Curly then held a pose as he started to sing.
(To the tune of 'The End' from 'The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh')
(Curly)
He's captured by the Lana girl, and held against his will,
I can hear him holler, like he's a steak on the grill!
They'll force him into labor until he's sweating cubes!
He'll try to jump over the wall, but no, he'll be caught by tubes!
Curly then turned into a snake as he wrapped Phoebe and Nadine as he spat out bubbles.
Surrounded by the horrid gang, there's no chance to get out!
"Help, please help!" is all he'll say, and maybe even shout!
Curly then jumped around dream-me as he shrank literally in fear.
You won't recognize him, because of his skin and bones!
He's shrink some sizes smaller, he even lose his tones!
Dream Curly then unshrunk himself as he sniffled.
He's been kidnapped...
By Marcie, we've lost our good friend.
You can say bye to Tucker,
He's headed for...
Curly sniffled.
...the end.
Curly fainted as the curtain closed. About one more minute later, the curtain opened up, this time revealing the dream me as I was looking up in the sky as I noticed Arnold next to me as the spotlight shined on him as a song started to play.
(To the tune of 'Never Give Up' from 'SpongeBob Squarepants')
(Arnold)
Rhonda, this sky is pretty...
But not like your cute little face
Don't you plainly see that this is the case?
Please, oh please, come talk with me
I had a very rough day you see...
Sit with me, and I'll talk, about this, very, very, very,
Very rough day! I had a rough day!
Just hear what I have to say!
I had a very rough, rough day!
(Rhonda)
I'm willing to listen to every word you say,
For you see, I too had a very rough day!
And we both need the comfort...
Your sewer king, my shopping, a stressful day for us,
Our days have felt like, they've been put on the bus!
You need me, like I need you, we need us,
Just hear what I have to say!
I had a very rough, rough day!
(Arnold)
I now see,
We both need each other terribly!
(Rhonda)
Looks like we had a little buddy moment!
(Arnold)
We do have that little attachment!
I think we have a big connection,
But I'm not sure what type of affection
(Rhonda)
Maybe it's of friendship or something more, I should think,
I mean, would you like to come in maybe to eat something or for a drink?
"I have to shop, but thanks, Rhonda." Arnold said, hugging dream-me as I saw her blushing a bit, then she hugged him back.
I guess we should probably go, we should go for today!
This is the part where we part our separate ways.
(Arnold)
For now, we should part our separate ways!
I could have sworn Arnold gave dream-me a sweet kiss on the cheek as I blushed. If only that happened in my real life...
(Arnold and Rhonda)
Take a deep breath, in an emotional way!
Because with these sounds is how we say...
I saw Arnold and dream me walking off stage as the music was finishing up. I noticed the door opening up as I went back inside, the little concert about over.
I was back in the dream world once again as I closed the door. I tried to look around until I finally spotted the black door, with three question marks labeled on it. I knocked on it as I leaned towards the door. "Hello? You said come find the black door to find answers."
"Heh, what kept you?" The voice said, in a sarcastic tone.
"I went into the wrong door." I groaned.
"Of course you did." The voice said sarcastically.
"I did!" I frowned. "Look, just tell me who you are, and if I can come in!"
"I would but... you took too much time. It's morning now, and you're going to wake up. Don't worry, you'll come back here the next time you either fall unconscious or go to sleep." The voice said.
"Wait!" I said in shock, but I didn't have time as my eyes started to blank out...
...and I woke up to my own alarm clock. I groaned as I turned the alarm off. I yawned as I looked outside. It was a Sunday morning. I smiled a bit as I decided to just spend my Sunday alone in my room.
I was just about to pull out one of my James Bond books when I heard a tapping on the window. I noticed one of Arnold's pigeons tapping on my window. I opened the window as it offered me its foot. I untied the note and read the contents.
'Hi Rhonda!
Arnold here to invite you, along with the other kids of my neighborhood for a magic show I'm doing for the afternoon. Now, Gerald probably told you how my magic act was lousy. Still was a little sore I ripped his shirt attempting to saw him in half. He was glad I didn't do his whole body. At least it was different from the talent show idea we had, singing one of Dino Spumoni's songs... oh yeah, I never told you the story of the time Dino Spumoni actually came over to live in the boarding house for a while, didn't I? Well, he and his partner, Don Reynolds, came by to live in the boarding house, because they used to live there when they were first starting out. They had a bit of a falling out because they couldn't agree on what the other wanted, so they tried to go solo. Dino was good with music, but not lyrics, and Don vice versa. I remember Gerald and I having our second falling-out, and it almost turned similar to Dino and Don's battles. We managed to sing their combined song for the talent show, and in a way, we got the two back together and forgiving each other...
Okay, I started rambling a little long there. Running out of space for the invitation. Please come to the magic show whenever you can. If you can't make it...
Back'
"Back?" I paused as I looked at the last word, then realized. "Oh. Flip it on the back."
I flipped the back of the paper.
'...I fully understand. If you can come though, that's awesome! No need to reply to this, I'll see you when I see you.
Arnold'.
I giggled at the sight as I smiled. I can definitely get ready for Arnold's magic show. It'll be really interesting... for sure. So I decided to get myself ready for the day.
There's the forty-ninth episode! How do you like it? The next and final chapter of Season 1 (don't worry, the story isn't going to end on Episode 50/Chapter 51, as there is going to be a lot more going on) is coming soon, so don't miss it! Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
