Meanwhile, Lu walked into the Nick Arcade and looked around, whistling innocently, passing Truman X, the 'Rats crew, and Gaz Membrane. "Where is he...?" he then saw the boy named Manny she was looking for, but with a blue-haired girl with red goggles. "There he is! But... Who's he with?" she frowned, could that girl had been a girlfriend he already had?
"So, you must be Lu," the blue-haired girl noticed the island girl wandering in the arcade. "I'm Frida Suarez, Manny's best friend."
"Oh..." Lu blinked. "Um... Are you guys dating?"
"Dating!?" Frida couldn't help but laugh. "No way! I like Manny, he's like a brother to me, but we're too much like brother and sister, that'd be totally weird..."
Manny looked over and then smiled. "Oh, hey, Lu."
"You know my name?" Lu was shocked that her new crush somehow found out her name.
"Don't you remember?" Manny blinked. "You told me your name."
"Oh... Right..." Lu smiled sheepishly, turning red slightly.
"Guys, guys!" Timmy Turner rushed over to Manny and Frida. "They just plugged in a new two-player game, whoever can win it gets their name on the bathroom wall!"
Manny looked to the island girl. "Wanna play?"
Lu looked sheepish and stared at the floor. "I never played a video game before..."
"What? Never?!" Manny was shocked, then took Lu's hand. "Man, I gotta teach ya!"
Lu blushed at him.
Meanwhile, Og and his helpers were getting close to Nickelodeon.
"It's 4:00, hurry, guys!" Og called.
"More wind power, Kaitlin!" Maxwell commanded.
"Bossy boots!" Kaitlin scoffed as she tried to make the boat go as fast as she could, which wasn't by much. "It won't go any faster!"
"What do we do!?" Eddy panicked.
"We just have to let nature take its course..." Og sighed.
There was a giant wave coming up.
"Aw, crap!" Kaitlin yelled out as they were about to be ambushed.
Sledgehammer used his tail as a running motor to escape the big wave.
"That's impossible," Og said, shocked. "The motor shouldn't go faster than 50 miles and right now, we're going 70 miles."
"What happened?" Maxwell asked.
"You guys owe me big time for this!" Sledgehammer called as they were getting to Nickelodeon a little quicker to dodge the wave, but they would still take several minutes to make it there.
Lars grinned as he, Pi, Animal, and Sputz had cornered everyone. Cindy hid behind Mike, this looked like the end.
Suddenly, seven-year-old Mina Harper dropped down, shocking the boys, but thye weren't afraid of her, just shocked she suddenly came down. "I think you bullies oughta leave!" she threatened them.
"No way, pipsqueak, mind your own business!" Lars pushed Mina down. "I'm trying to get that duck!"
Mike growled.
"I'm gonna tell my best friend on you!" Mina growled.
"Oh, go ride a Pegasus back to Pony Land, brat!" Lars laughed with his friends.
The goons kept laughing until Vlad appeared behind them, bearing his sharp and deathly fangs.
"Uhh... Lars?" Pi asked, shaking at the sight of a vampire.
Lars kept laughing, then looked annoyed. "What!?" he then saw Vlad and his eyes widened. "V-V-Vampire!"
"Holy crap!" Animal cried.
"Don't let me catch you boys pushing around my friends again!" Vlad hissed in their face.
"We're outta here, vamonos, boys!" Lars called, running with his friends, screaming and nearly crying for their mothers. "AND STAY AVAY!" he yelled, then looked calmly to the little girl he was close to. "Are you alright, Mina?"
"Yeah..." Mina smiled at him, then looked to Mike, Hard Luck, and Cindy. "Are you guys okay?"
Cindy was still shaking and looked very pale in shock. "V-Vampires are real..."
"I sure am gonna miss playin' with 'em..." Hard Luck frowned as Lars and his friends were gone.
Vlad sniffed the air. "That's funny... Vhy do I smell something... There's like... A verevolf around here..."
"Werewolves?" Mina and Cindy asked.
"But there's no werewolves," Mina looked up to her best friend. "Are there, Count?"
"I smell vun, but I see none..." Vlad said sharply.
"I'm sure it's nothing, Count..." Mina soothed him.
"He's your friend?" Cindy asked, a little shaky.
"Yeah," Mina smiled. "We're best friends!"
"Phew!" Mike wiped her forehead in relief, then whispered. "That was close."
"Hi, Mike!" Mina beamed to the tomboy.
"Hey, Mina," Mike smiled. "What's up?"
"Hi!" Hard Luck quacked.
"Hi," Mina smiled to the Cartoon Network natives. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Mike, there you are," Otto rushed over, catching his breath. "Man, you run pretty fast... Is the little duck okay?"
"Hi, Mr. Stranger." Hard Luck smiled at him.
Otto chuckled at that. "Just call me 'Otto'."
"Okay... Otto..." Hard Luck chuckled.
"That dude has the cutest laugh ever, right, Cathy?" Twister smiled.
Cindy rolled her eyes at Twister.
"Mike, I still can't believe you're back..." Otto said to the tomboy. "Did you leave Eddy?"
"Don't get me wrong, I've loved Eddy since we first met... But once I met you... I feel like I might like you..." Mike sighed with her eyes shut, placing her hands over her heart.
"Oh, Mike," Otto hugged her. "I always thought about you."
Mike smiled as she hugged Otto back.
Twister looked confused. "Otto, I didn't know you liked Myrtle!"
Otto and Mike glanced at him, nearly narrowing their eyes.
"What?" Twister got defensive. "What'd I say?"
"Amateur." Cindy facepalmed.
Hard Luck decided to sit on Otto's shoulder. "Are we gonna get somethin' to eat? I'm starvin'!"
"How 'bout the Krusty Krab?" Otto offered, then smiled to Mike, knowing the relationship. "I bet SpongeBob will be happy to see you!"
"Okay." Mike smiled, she kind of had a craving for Krabby Patties once she came here.
Cindy looked around. "Has anybody seen Lu?"
The Nick Arcade...
Manny and Lu were still playing their game at the Nick Arcade, they were at the final boss level.
"Oh, Manny, I can't do it!" Lu cried. "We're gonna lose because of me!"
"Don't think that, Lu, just focus," Manny coached. "We're gonna win... We're gonna win..."
Lu bit her lip, looking anxious as she kept hitting the buttons and twisting the joystick.
"Come on, you guys, you can do it!" Frida cheered on her best friend and her possibly new friend.
