With that, the boat was on its way back, going as fast as possible in time for tonight's show.
Twister waved. "Bye, Hard Luck! I'll miss you, little duckling dude!" he then started to cry.
Reggie and Arnold walked over.
"What'd we miss?" Arnold asked.
"Oh, nothing much..." Sam said, looking back at the newly made couple.
Back in Cartoon Network...
Weasel arrived on the main stage. "Alright, everybody, it's time, let's get this show started!"
"One, two, three, four!" Dexter counted, summoning the Cartoon Cartoon Fridays theme song.
"Oh, no, it's starting!" Mike yelped.
"We're not gonna make it!" Cindy cried.
"Warp Speed!" Og called.
"You heard the man!" Maxwell called to his sister. "Move your fat butt!"
"What did you say, brat!?" Kaitlin hissed.
"No time for that!" Eddy yelled at them.
Mike looked up and her eyes turn red and her fangs popped up. "Move it, I'll make this boat go fast!" she snarled.
Kaitlin and Maxwell worked together to make the boat keep going.
The theme song was just about over as the boat hit a rock, flinging them all out of the boat and making them fly into the studios and they all landed safely on the ground just as the theme song ended.
"Welcome to Cartoon Cartoon Fridays," Weasel introduced, then turned to smile at his young members. "And what an amazing entrance, Lu, Og, Kailtin, Maxwell, and Michelene with your What a Cartoon! friends!"
"Hey, where's Cindy?" Lu looked around.
Cindy yelled out as she kept flying and as Sarah was snootily walking along, Cindy crashed into her, Cindy wasn't hurt too much, but Sarah was now badly battered because of the impact. "Ugh... My head..."
"Hey, Weasel." Mike greeted casually.
"Hello, Mr. Weasel." Kaitlin, Maxwell, Sledgehammer, Hard Luck, and Yoink echoed.
"I'm impressed with your entrance," Weasel smiled. "I was about to ask Sarah to introduce the show, but maybe one of you would like to give it a shot. How about you, Kaitlin and Maxwell? How'd you like to be this week's Cartoon Cartoon Fridays hosts?"
Kaitlin and Maxwell looked eager, this looked like their big chance. They then looked over to Cindy and felt bad for her. Cindy had been in Cartoon Network for almost a year now and still struggled to fit in, but was getting there.
"Hey, Max, you think we should give Cindy a shot?" Kaitlin asked her brother, passing off their once in a life time opportunity.
"Mr. Weasel, could Cindy be this week's host?" Maxwell offered.
Weasel smiled. "I see nothing wrong with that... Come here, Cindy!"
"M-M-Me!? Oh, no, I couldn't!" Cindy backed away. "I-I'm too shy!"
"Come on, Cindy," Mike took her back to the main camera. "The show can't start!"
"Umm... Okay..." Cindy fiddled with her glasses nervously. "Coming up tonight at 7:00 is a brand new Johnny Bravo, followed by Ed, Edd, n Eddy and another Ed, Edd, n Eddy, it's all here on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, here on Cartoon Network!" she announced the best she could, still very nervous that she did that and now the people at home were going to watch the Friday night show they loyally would watch.
"Eddy..." Mike came up.
"Mike..." Eddy did the same.
"I need to tell you something." the two said at the same time, this was a little nerve-wrecking.
Cindy looked between the two pre-teens.
"Mike... I-I like you... You know that..." Eddy said softly. "But... There's Frida... And..."
"I feel the same way about Otto." Mike nodded.
"What!?" Otto Osworth spoke up.
"Not you." Cindy whispered, shushing him, she wanted to see how this moment would play out.
"I... Don't want you to get upset, otherwise... Your brother will come after me..." Eddy said nervously.
"He won't, I promise," Mike soothed him. "I'll tell them tonight. I'm sorry we have to end this way."
"It's okay, Mike..." Eddy said softly. "I'm sorry we have to end this way too."
The two shared a sweet hug. Cindy sighed with a smile, but she still felt empty while everyone else had someone. Eddy had Frida, Lu had Manny, Mike had Otto, Arnold had Reggie, Otto Osworth had Little Suzy...
"Michelene," Weasel came up. "Could I speak to you for a moment?"
"Oooohhh, you're in trouble..." Jimmy smirked.
Mike whacked Jimmy in the face while going to Weasel. "Umm... Yes, sir?"
"I saw that you had went to Nickelodeon..." Weasel told her, firmly at first.
"Weasel, I'm so sorry, don't punish the others, punish me." Mike sacrificed herself.
"I'm not angry, just a little disappointed," Weasel folded her arms. "I heard you once heard your biological sister Jennifer may live in Nickelodeon?"
"Yes, she does..." Mike said with a sigh. "I haven't met her yet though... She works in the local mall with her friends."
Jimmy grinned, it looked like Mike was busted.
"I'm a little angered you went to Nickelodeon, but I won't punish you... In fact, I think I should lift the ban of Channel Hopping," Weasel said then, gently. "But... You'll have to clean up the studio tonight before you leave."
Mike nodded, that was fair, at least it wasn't a horrible punishment. "Thank you so much, Weasel."
"Of course, Michelene... I'm not mad, just disappointed." Weasel assured her before going off.
Cindy wlked over the tomboy. "You okay, Mike?"
"Yeah, I am... Excuse me... I need to go outside."
"Why?"
"Sorry, Cindy, it's private."
Jimmy kept laughing. "You got in trouble!"
Mike ignored Jimmy, walking out.
"Please be quiet." Cindy narrowed her eyes at Jimmy.
"No way," Jimmy ignored her. "What's wrong, Michelene? Did you get kicked out? I hope you did!"
Mike growled. "Shut up, Jimmy."
"Or what?"
Mike just walked off to go be alone.
"Why do you have to be such a pain?" Cindy was very infuriated with Jimmy. She rarely showed anger or hostility toward anyone, but Jimmy and Sarah often pushed her buttons more than anyone else that she's met in Cartoon Network.
"Shut up, newbie." Jimmy growled to her.
"Hey, girly boy, how 'bout you go back to playin' with your dolls?" Sledgehammer scowled.
Cindy smirked as she walked off with Sledgehammer while Jimmy looked angered, he wished Sarah would wake up. "Come on, Sledge, my mom packed me some strawberries for a snack."
"Oh, boy!" Sledgehammer left with her.
Meanwhile, Mike was outside, looking up at the full moon and sighed.
A long black-haired young woman who looked youthful as a young teenager with a white dress came by and saw Mike. "Little one... Whatever is the problem? It's Friday night... You should be with friends..." she smiled down, having an angelic voice.
"Huh?" Mike turned around. "Wait... Who are you and how did you get here?"
"Let's just say I know a big deal about you," the female smiled. "What's on your mind, sweetie?"
"Well, I went to Nickelodeon because I like this boy, his name is Otto Rocket but, I like Eddy too..." Mike explained the best she could to this stranger.
"I see..."
"What should I do..." Mike felt very lost. "I-I mean... I liked Eddy when I first met him, I mean, when I first met him, I kinda like Kevin, but then i realized Kevin's a total jerk... I've dated Eddy for a year until I accidentally went to Nickelodeon and then I met Otto Rocket... I mean... What do I do?"
"What does your heart tell you, honey?" the female asked. "Does Eddy have someone else for himself while you have this Otto Rocket?"
Mike looked at the female, then remembered that Eddy was now in love with Frida. "Some girl that Lu met told me her name is Frida."
"Well, dear... I know you'll miss Eddy, but perhaps this Otto boy will mend your broken heart and Frida can mend this Eddy's..." the female soothed.
Mike looked to her. "You're right... I guess either way, we'll ALL be happy." she smiled then.
The female smiled back.
"I better go," Mike stood up with a smile and started to walk off. "Oh, wait, what's your name?" she looked behind herself, however, the mysterious female was gone. "Who was that...?" she muttered.
"MIKE! You're on in five!" Cindy's voice called from inside the studio.
"Oh, gosh, I gotta go!" Mike zipped off to return to the set.
The female watched from afar as Mike shut the studio doors behind her. "I know you'll do what's best for everybody, Mike... My daughter..." she whispered as Mike went to work.
