Jamie was busy applying her makeup for the next episode of The Business Model when she saw on her Twitter the newest sitcom length episode of the documentary she used to be on. She watched it to see what new scenes had been added, but during the part where she gave the audience a tour of the then-new office, she started feeling strange.

"Maybe I'm just missing the old place." she said, "I just need to move on."

Nerdcore was driving along when suddenly he heard his engine having trouble. He looked up and saw a sign that said that the next service station wasn't for another 20 miles. He pulled over, turned on his hazard lights, and pulled over to at least look over the engine. He recalled in driving school that the sound he heard indicated a fuel issue, so he opened the hood and tried to diagnose the problem. It didn't take him long to notice the condensation on the fuel pump.

"How did water get in my fuel tank?" he asked himself. He was unsure until he remembered Straight Edge's 'gift.' He looked at the now-empty gas can Straight Edge gave him and saw, sure enough, colorless, spherical droplets on the top in addition to the flat, brown droplets on the bottom. He pulled out his iPad, went on Facebook, grumbled about how difficult it was to change the name from Hip Hop to Nerdcore, and messaged Straight Edge—

"I know what you did." He then exited the app and called a towing company.

When the tow truck arrived, he decided he would look at what Straight Edge's avatar, MCR, left his avatar. He went on and found a box of flaming avatar poop on his doorstep.

"Haha." said the turtle avatar, "Very funny, MCR." He then received a Facebook notification, a message from Straight Edge saying—

"Revenge is a dish best served cold."

"Why?" replied Nerdcore.

"You totally ruined my reputation. Do you have any idea how much the phrase 'Shut up, Straight Edge' is trending online?"

"No."

"Check my Facebook and the MyMusicShow hashtag on Tumblr." Nerdcore went onto his Tumblr and, sure enough, one of the most recent posts on the hashtag #mymusicshow was a gif of Indie telling Straight Edge to shut up. It had 16 notes on it, some of which were reblogs and some of which were favorites. He looked on Straight Edge's Facebook, and found a couple posts saying "Shut up, Straight Edge!"

"Dude, I'm sorry." messaged Nerdcore, "I just didn't want Scene to be a victim."

"It's too late for sorry." replied Straight Edge, "All I need now is revenge."

"Are we talking a series of practical jokes or actual harm?"

"Just some pranks. I mean, I'm Straight Edge, I wouldn't actually commit violence, especially for this petty matter. I just want to do to you what you did to me; keep you from the girl you love."

"How do you know about Idol?"

"I saw the show. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what happened. Just, watch your back. You never know when I'll strike." With that, Straight Edge signed off.
