Spike woke up before any dude did, and...he can't go back to sleep, so he got up and strolled into the woods. "Hey!" Spike heard. He turned and saw Gumball fully awake. "Sup man." Spike said. "Didn't catch your name yet." Gumball said. "Spike. Name's Spike." the dragon introduce. "Gumball. Nice to meet you." the blue cat said. They both shook hands, but Spike had an idea. "Hey, I got an idea!" Spike said.

"And what is that?" Gumball asked. "How about we have an alliance?" Spike suggested. "Alliance? Doesn't that always end badly?" Gumball asked, but Spike shook his head. "Naw, man. We can be like a good alliance and protect the people who actually deserve to stay in the game!" Spike said. Gumball rubbed his chin, then gave a nod. "Alright, but don't we need one more person?" Gumball asked.

Spike rubbed his chin as well and shrugged as he said "How about Timmy? He seems like a nice dude." Spike said. "How are we gonna get him in our alliance?" Gumball asked. "I don't know, but whatever this challenge is, we can try to convince him to join us!" Spike said. "Alright, it's a deal." Gumball said, but behind the bushes were Panini and Anais. "I told you they were bad!" Panini whispered.

"They seem pretty calm to me." Anais whispered back. "We need to stop them from eliminating people!" Panini said. "I still think you brought me here to spy on the crush of yours." Anais said. "I do not have a crush on him!" Panini whispered with anger. "Right..." Anais stretched the word. "CAMPERS!" the intercom yelled. "MEET US AT THE CAMP!" "Well, looks like we got another challenge." Spike said. "Wonder what it is..." Gumball said.

"It's Lewis." Spike answered. Gumball made a small chuckle and they ran back to the camp. "Come on!" Panini said. They left the area and followed the two.


Once they made it, Lewis was filled with smiles. "Hello everyone!" Lewis said. "Can you hurry up please?" Frankie asked. "Looks like little Miss Party Pooper decides to go first in a singing contest." Lewis said. "A what?" Gumball asked. "A singing contest. You guys must pick a song from this top hat." Lewis said as he brought out a hat.

"If we win?" Gumball asked. "No elimination, but remember this: their will be a twist coming up. Just warning ya." Lewis said. "Rules?" Mordecai asked. "You must pick six people to sing. It's kind of like a tournament. Last person with good singing skills in it for the team." Lewis said. "How much time?" Wanda asked. "Until tonight, so hurry up." Lewis said. The team spread out and...discussed things.

(Team Bombers)

"Okay, who's going first?" Mordecai asked. "Obviously not me." Benson said. "That's because you got no skills!" Marceline said. "Ooooooooohhh! She owned you man!" Mac said. "And I'm sure you can't sing as well, missy!" Benson said. "I think you haven't seen my bass-axe yet." Marceline said. "Come on guys! Who's going?" Spike asked. "I have stage-fright." Mac said.

"I thought you hated me." Spike said. "I was stressed out because of Bloo." Mac said. "Right..." Spike said sarcastically. "I can go." volunteered Isabella. "You do have skills, right?" Gumball asked. "You think I don't?" Isabella asked. "No! I was just wondering-" "You think boys are better than girls?" Isabella interrupted. "No! I just thought-" "Dudes are better?" Isabella interrupted again. "Forget it. Apparently, girls are more uptight then men." Gumball said.

"How dare you!" Isabella said. Mordecai and Finn laughed at Gumball's joke. "Alright, it's Isabella, and who else?" Spike asked. "I could." Finn said. "Alright, and?" Spike continued. "Maybe I could." Gumball said. "I guess I'm going as well." Spike said. "And me." Marceline said. "Might as well." Timmy said. "Alright! That's six people!" Spike said. Before they could walk off, Chowder got a hold of Spike.

"Hey, could you do something for me?" Chowder asked. "What's that?" Spike asked. "Could you make sure that Panini stays away from me?" Chowder asked. "The slightly older bunny?" Spike asked. Chowder shook his head yes. "Why?" "Because every time I wake up, she's sleeping next to me!" Chowder answered. "Alright! Got your first marefriend!" Spike said.

"Um...I thought it was girl-friend?" Chowder asked. "Mare means girl." Spike said. Chowder made the "Oh..." sound as he realized what it meant. "Well, could you?" He asked again. "Only because we're buds." Spike said. "We're friends?" Chowder asked. "Why not? Your a chill dude." Spike said. "Okay. Come on!" Chowder said. They both ran to catch up, but Chowder ran out of energy five seconds later.

(Team Clockwise)

"Who's going?" Darwin asked. "Don't look at me, I can't sing." Rigby said. "Can I try?" Cosmo asked. "Cosmo, and who else?" Darwin asked again. "I'm only singing for Chowder." Panini chimmed in. "And I'm not that bad. Might as well." Phineas said. "So, we have me, Cosmo, Panini, and Phineas. Anyone else?" Darwin asked. "I have more singing skills that swag its self." Rainbow said.

"I'm sure I have more skills than Lil' Miss Pegasus over here." Gorgonzola said. "That's six people! Let's go!" Darwin said. "Wait...what did he say?" Rainbow asked. "I have more skills than you." Gorgonzola said. Luckily, Frankie was fast enough to grab Rainbow before she could take off. "Hold your anger, Rainbow Dash." said Frankie. "You might need it for the competition.

"Alright." said Lewis. "Pick your songs." The twelve people who were chosen picked their songs.

000

"Never heard of this song before." Spike said.

000

"What is this piece of junk?" Gorgonzola asked.

000

"-don't hurt me, no more!" Gumball sang.

000

"Who'd write such trash?" Rainbow asked.

000

"Eh, sucks...but not bad." Marceline said.

000

"This...sounds awesome." Darwin said.

(Tonight...)

"Hello, Readers! And welcome to Epic Cartoon Idol! These are the rules: People will go against each other on a tournament. Since it's six people on each team, they will battle each other out. Who ever we decide who goes gets to go to the next round. Plus, when the names are announce, they will be highlited with black. Like: Panini. Whoever is the last person on the tournament wins. Got that? Okay! With the help of Joe and me, then we can start the road!" Lewis said.

"This challenge, is a Team Deathmatch." Lewis said. "Wait, that's not fair! They only practice one song!" Bloo yelled. "Does it look like I care?" Lewis asked sarcastically. "First up, Spike Vs. Darwin!" Spike and Darwin approached the stage...and Darwin was sweating water. "What are you guys singing today?" the host asked. "Can't hold us by Macklemore SUCKA'!" Spike yelled randomly. "Nice. Alright, begin." Lewis said.

('Ello Readers! This song, you may have heard on the radio and the song may slightly change, but it's Can't hold us by Macklemore.)

(Music starts.)

Spike: Yah, alright okay.

Spike: Return of the mac, get up!
What it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't.
Looking for a better to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the internet and checking a new hit me,
GET UP!

Spike: fresh out pimp strut walking,
little bit of humble, little bit of cautious,
Somewhere between like rocky and cosby
sweatergang; nope nope y'all can't copy
YUP!

Spike: Bad, moonwalking,
this here, is our party, my ponies been on broadway.
And we did it our way. Grown music,
I shed my skin and put my bones to everything I record to it,
and yet I'm on!

Spike: Let that stage light go and shine on down,
got that Bob Burgers and Plinko in my style,
Money,
stay on my craft and stick around
for those pounds, but I do that to pass the torch
and put on for my town.
Trust me!

Spike: I'm a I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, boss hustler!
Chasing dreams since I was fourteen with the four track,
BUSSING, halfway cross the city with the
back-a-pack (x2)
Caution, labels out here.

Spike: Nah they can't tell me nothing,
we give it to the ponies,
spread it across the country. Labels out here.
Nah they can't tell me nothing, we give it to the ponies,
spread it across the country.

Darwin and Spike: Here we go back, this is the moment,
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'till it's over so we put our hands up
Like the ceiling can't hold us! Like the ceiling can't hold us!
Here we go back. this is the moment,
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'till it's over so we put our hands up
Like the ceiling can't hold us! Like the ceiling can't hold us!

Darwin: Nah, can I kick it? Thank you. Yeah, I'm so-so greatful!
I grew up, really want gold fronts but thats what you get when Wu Tang raised you.
Y'all can't stop me, go hard like I got an 808 heart beat
And I'm meeting at the beat like you gave a little speed
to a great white shark on shark week-
-RAW!

Darwin: Tell me to go up. Gone! Deuces goodbye.
I got a world to see, and my girl she wanna see Rome,
Ceaser will make you a believer. Nah, I never ever did it for a throne.
That validation comes from giving it back to the people.
Nah sing a song and it goes like:

Darwin: "Raise those hands, this is our party.
We came to live like nobody was watching
I got my city right behind me, if I fall,
they got me then from that faliure gain humility
and we keep marching ourselves!"

Darwin and Spike: Here we go back, this is the moment,
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'till it's over so we put our hands up
Like the ceiling can't hold us! Like the ceiling can't hold us!
Here we go back. this is the moment,
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'till it's over so we put our hands up
Like the ceiling can't hold us! Like the ceiling can't hold us!

(Music Solo?)

Darwin: Let's go!

Spike: Na na na na na na na na!

Darwin: Aaaaaaaaaaaa!

Spike and Darwin: And all my peple say!

Spike: Na na na na na na na na!

Darwin: Aaaaaaaaaaaa!

Darwin: Ma-kull-more!

Darwin and Spike: Here we go back, this is the moment,
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'till it's over so we put our hands up
Like the ceiling can't hold us! Like the ceiling can't hold us!
Here we go back. this is the moment,
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'till it's over so we put our hands up
Like the ceiling can't hold us! Like the ceiling can't hold us!

Everyone's mouth was hanging...literally. It was resting on the ground. Once every one fix themselves up, they clapped in happiness and awesomness. "That...was awesome! Definetly Spike." Lewis said. "Darwin gots my vote." Joe said. Lewis gave a small chuckle and pulled out his megaphone. "Alright! Sit at the benches. It's a tie!" He ordered. Spike and Darwin cheered and they ran off the stage. "Alright! It's Panini vs Isabella next!" Lewis yelled.

Isabella and Panini both brought up microphones and they had their smiles on. "Alright, what'd you grab?" Lewis asked. "Hit 'em up style by Blu Cantrell." Isabella said. "This is for you, Num Num's!" Panini said. Chowder shivered in fear and looked at Spike, but once he got the approval from him, Chowder sighed in relief.

Isabella: While he was scheming
I was beamin' in the beamer just beamin'
can't believe that I caught my man cheating
so I found another way to make him pay for it all

Isabella: So I went to Neiman-Marcus on a shopping spree-ah
And on the way I grabbed Soley and Mia
And as the cash box rang I
thought everything away

Isabella: (Oops)
Panini: There goes the dreams we used to say

Isabella: (Oops)
Panini: There goes the time we spented away

Isabella: (Oops)
Panini: There goes the love we had
but you cheated on me and that's worth THAT now

Isabella: (Oops)
Panini: There goes the house we made a home

Isabella: (Oops)
Panini: There goes you'll never leave me alone

Isabella: (Oops)
Panini: For all the lies you told this is what you owe

Panini: Hey Ladies,
when your man wanna get buck wild
just go back and hit 'em up style
put your hands on his cash and
spend it to the last dime for all the hard times

Panini: oh
when you go then everything goes
from the crib, to the ride and the clothes
so you better let him know that
if you mess up
you gotta hit 'em up

Panini: While he was braggin
I was comin' down the hill and just draggin'
all of his pictures and his clothes in the baggin
I sold eveything else til there was just nothing left
and I paid all the bills about a month too late
It's a shame we have to play these games
the love we had just fade away, away

Panini: (Oops)
Isabella: There goes the dreams we used to say

Panini: (Oops)
Isabella: There goes the time we spented away

Panini: (Oops)
Isabella: There goes the love we had
but you cheated on me and that's worth THAT now

Panini: (Oops)
Isabella: There goes the house we made a home

Panini: (Oops)
Isabella: There goes you'll never leave me alone

Panini: (Oops)
Isabella: For all the lies you told this is what you owe

Isabella: All of the dreams you sold
Panini: left me out in the cold
Isabella: What happened to the days when we used to trust each other?
Panini: And all of the things I sold
Isabella: Will take you until you get old
Panini: To get 'em back without me
Isabella: Cause revenge is better than money and friends!

Isabella: (Oops)
Panini and Isabella: There goes the dreams we used to say

Panini:(Oops)
Isabella and Panini: There goes the time we spented away

Isabella: (Oops)
Panini and Isabella: There goes the love we had
but you cheated on me and that's worth THAT now

Panini: (Oops)
Isabella and Panini: There goes the house we made a home

Isabella: (Oops)
Panini and Isabella: There goes you'll never leave me alone

Panini: (Oops)
Isabella and Panini: For all the lies you told this is what you owe

Everyone cheered as Lewis and Joe rubbed their chins. "Hmm...what do you think Chef?" Lewis asked. "It appears that Isabella has caught my attention." Joe said. "Hm, hm, I agree." Lewis said, then grabbing his megaphone. "PANINI! GET OFF THE STAGE! YOU LOSE!" Lewis yelled. Isabella cheered and Panini started to grow tears in her eyes. "Can't I just get one more chance?" she asked. "Does it look like I'll give you another one?" Lewis asked sarcastically.

"So is that a-!" "No. Get off." Lewis said, pointing towards the benches. Panini pouted and her tears quickly left. She stomped her way off the stage and sat on her team. "It's okay Panini! You'll feel better soon!" Cosmo said. "Really?" Panini asked, looking at Cosmo. "Yeah! With some Churrios and Pretzels, it would make you feel all better." Cosmo said. Panini rolled her eyes and looked back at the stage. "Next, Gumball vs Gorgonzola!" Lewis said.

Gumball and Gorgonzola approached and Gumball was beyond happy. What was it called? Excitement? "Song?" Lewis asked. "What is love by Haddaway." Gumball said. "Alright! 80's music! Or...2000's music? Just go." Lewis said.

Gumball: What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

Gorgonzola: Baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt-

"STOP!" ordered Lewis. "Please...stop. You, Gorgonzola, have ruined the most epic song of all times. Get the fudge off my stage." Gumball, or pretty much everyone else, laughed until the throats started to burn. Gorgonzola's candle started to burn brighter and got bigger untill a tiny bit of the huge flame got on the curtain. That's when the stage started to catch on fire. "My stage!" Lewis yelled in fear. That's when he looked at the camera.

"Stop the film! STOP THE FILM!"
