Justlovekickinit: Thanks, im glad you like it. And that doe ssoudn like Nikki. NA dit;s strange cause I kinda base Nikki off of my sister like some lines that she says it's lines my sister says. And it's funny cause just last week she threatened to beat up this kid with a toy baseball bat she got from Family dollar.

Grapejuice101: Thanks.

Dragonking19: thanks.

Bonjour10: Same. And yes Subway and taco Bell are the only two fast food places I ever go to, I don't trust any others.

I walked over to the guys who were admiring the go-cart in its display window.

"Hey guys" I waved walking over. I had just come back from the beauty college with Kim and right now my hair looks like my tongue after I eat a whole skittles bag.

"Uh Nikki, why is there a rainbow in your hair?" Jack asked.

"Well, Kim and I…" I trialed off when I noticed Kim wasn't next to me "Kim!" she trudged over form behind the building.

Whoa!" all the guys screamed.

"Kim, wow! You look… different. Hot date tonight?" Milton asked.

"With a clown" Jack added.

"Go ahead and laugh but I just got us 10 dollars closer to getting that go-cart" Kim said matter-of-factly, waving the money in the air.

"So did I" I showed them the money. "The Welford Beauty College is paying people to be there practice dummies.

"Oh, Chewy goes there" Jerry reminded me.

"Oh yeah, didn't he have to cut grandma's mustache for and assignment?" I ask.

"Yeah" he turned to the others "It was for his final. He went through three pairs of scissors, but he got most of it"

"Alright time to kick in" Milton said as we made our way into the dojo and pulled out a small jar we keep the money in.

"I made 40 bucks by visiting my great-aunt Betty, every time I go, she thinks it's my birthday and give me money, I went four times yesterday" he announced putting his money in the jar.

"And I went twice" Jack said placing his money in the jar.

"Cindy Connors gave me 10 bucks to stop asking her out in front of her boyfriend" Eddie said putting his money in the jar.

Then Milton pulled out a purple piece of paper "Someone put and I.O.U. in here"

I took it and read it "Took five bucks to buy a foot-long at Captain Corndog's. It's dope Yo. Whoo-oo!" I glared at Jerry.

"Who would do something like that?" Jerry asked munching on a corndog.

"Jer!" I shouted snatching the corndog away. "That's our go-cart money, not for you to buy corndogs" I looked at the corndog. "Now it's mine" I took a bite.

"Come on, Jerry you're the only one who hasn't contributed to the go-cart fund" Jack pointed out.

"I don't have the talent to make money. I even tried selling doors, door-to-door. You know how hard it is to find a house without a door?" Jerry asked.

"You guys are never gonna believe how I just made 10 dollars' Rudy said as he walked into the dojo with the most ridiculous hair I have ever seen. Scratch that the second most ridiculous air I've ever seen. Right next to Kim's.

"Uh practice dummy at the Welford Beauty College?" Kim asked.

"No, I sold my old golf shoes. What's this about a beauty college?" Rudy asked. Oh Rudy.

XXXXXX

When I agreed to do this whole practice dummy thing with Kim I didn't think it could get this bad, not only did my hair look like a rainbow but now it was sticking up like it does in those cartoons when someone gets electrocuted. And Kim's was worse.

We walked into the dojo where Milton and Jack were sparring and as soon as they saw us they screamed.

"Another ten bucks to the go-cart" Kim waved the money.

"Another twenty" I corrected showing them my money.

"Has Jerry put in any money yet?" Kim asked them.

"I haven't seen Jerry in two days" Milton admitted.

"He seemed normal when I saw him this morning" I told them. Then there was a tire screeching noise coming from outside.

We all ran out to see someone pulled up in our go-cart. Then stepped out none other than Jerry.

"Oh hey, you guys. You like my new ride?" he asked.

"You bought our go-cart?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, I, uh, I decided to go solo" Jerry told us and tossed me his helmet.

"Two days ago you couldn't go solo on a gumball" Milton said.

"Seriously, where did you get the money?" I asked.

"I got a job delivering meatballs for the meatball king" Jerry said before his phone went off. "Hello? Oh yeah, yeah. I told you three times I delivered the thing to the guy at the place… okay, okay" then hung up.

"You know what, Chiquita? Why don't you go get yourself fixed up" he handed me some money.

"I can fix you" I shouted jumping towards Jerry but Jack caught me.

Jerry got back in the go-cart and drove off.

"I really wanna be mad at him, but he looks so cool" Milton admitted.

"I'm gonna kill him" I muttered.

XXXXXX

I sat crossed armed at Falafel Phil's with Jack.

"I still can't believe that Jerry bought our go-cart" Jack said.

"This goes way beyond some go-cart. Every since he go that dumb job, he's been a whole different person. If he calls me Chiquita one more time I'm going to murder him" I slumped in my seat. "Do you know what Chiquita means" Jack shook his head. "I looked it up. It means Tiny and/or dainty"

"Okay, two Falafel for- oh! Holy Ganoush!" Phil shouted touching his head.

"I know Phil. My hair looks like a rat's nest"

"I can fix this. I've seen worse" Phil said pulling down his apron "Do you mind if my hands dance with your harr?"

"Phil, do you even know anything about harr?" Jack mimicked.

"Don't you worry, baby. I know what I'm doing. I'm frosting Tootsies tips as we speak" just then tootsie walked out of kitchen. "No, tootsie, you're not ready yet! Five more minutes. Back under the lamps" as soon as tootsie left Phil started to do my hair.

"Phil, you've got a customer" Jack said pointing to the really tall guy who walked in.

"Hello mister Dirk, what brings you around t the town?" Phil asked sheepishly.

"It's time to pay your bill" he told Phil.

"Please, I need more time" Phil begged.

"You're outta time and I Ain't playin' games."

"Games? I love games. Let's play hiding and the seeking. I'm going to go hide-" Phil tried and failed to change the topic.

"Alright that's it" the tall guy went to through a punch but Jack caught it as I jumped up and blocked Phil form the guy.

"You probably shouldn't have done that" Jack said smirking. Then easily Jack kicked the guy out, literally.

"Phil who was that guy?" Jack asked Phil.

"He collects the money for the meatballs that I do not need, but I'm forced to buy" Phil explained.

"From who?" I asked.

"The meatball king" Phil told us.

"The meatball king?" Jack repeated.

"That's Jer's boss!" I clarified to Jack. "We have to go find him"

XXXXXX

After looking at home for Jerry we picked up Kim then went to the dojo

"Is Jerry in here?" I asked as we ran in.

"Yeah, he's in the locker room" Milton told us.

Then Jerry came walking out in a tiger gi "Uh, what are you wearing?" Kim asked.

'A custom made gi" Jerry told us "My new boss got it for me. Check it" he pressed a button and it roared.

"That is the tackiest gi I've ever seen" Rudy said pointing to it. "I mean, where would one even go to buy such a thing?" he paused "in a medium"

"Jerry, your new boss is forcing people to buy meatballs. He's acriminal" Jack told him getting back on the subject.

"Huh, sure he is" Jerry said not believing it. "You know what? You guys are just jealous cause I've got-"

"The Meatball King stole Tootsie!" Phil shouted as he ran in, cutting off Jerry.

"What?" Jerry whispered as he took the note from Phil. "'Give me my money or the goat gets it. The Meatball King'. That doesn't prove anything. You know how many Meatball Kings there are in the world?"

"He took Tootsie" Jack said.

"You know how many Tootsies there are-"

"Jer!" I cut him off slapping his arm.

"I get it. I'm working for a criminal!" Jerry admitted before he walked away with the fake tiger tale on his gi spinning.

"Ohhhh, I gotta get one of those GIs" Rudy mumbled.

XXXXXX

"That's right, officer. Tootsie's a goat" Rudy said into the phone as we all sat around him waiting for him to finish. "Oh. Okay then, thanks. Take care" Rudy hung up and looked at all of us "Yeah, they're not going to help us"

"I'll never see my tootsie ever again" Phil sobbed as he slumped down in the chair between me and Kim.

"It s okay Phil, let's look at her photo album again" Kim offered.

Phil nodded and flipped it open "Oh, this is my favorite. It's from her Baaa-mitzvah"

"This is all my fault" Jerry said as he stood up. "I just saw an opportunity to make some really good money, I didn't realize what I was doing"

Okay, I must figure out a way to pay this ransom" Phil decided.

"And then what?" I stood up "You'll just go back to overpaying for meatballs that you don't even need"

"She's right, we have to stop him" Jack agreed.

"But how?" Phil asked.

"Yeah, it's not like I can just stock my phone onto my chest, go into the meatball Kings office, record his confession, and then take the evidence to the police department"

Oh and that gave me the best Idea ever.

"You guys really think this is gonna work?" Jerry asked as Milton glued the phone to Jerry's chest.

"Absolutely, well record the whole confession here at the dojo" Milton explained to him.

"Got it" Jerry nodded. Then his phone went off "Oh ho ho Cindy Meyers" Jerry said smirking "I gotta take this" he ripped the phone off his chest and held it up to his ear "Yo ho ho, what it do girl?"

XXXXXX

I sat in the dojo next to Jack with everyone else around a phone we had hooked up to a speaker and a recorder.

"Ok, I'm going in" Jerry whispered through the phone.

"What do you wanna see me about Jerry?" the Meatball King asked "I'm busy"

"Well, uh, you know, I was, uh, I was just in the neighborhood and I was wondering what you thoughts were on you know crime and all the other stuff, particularly vis-a-vis, uh, you know goat stealing and before you answer can you please state your full name" I face palmed, could you be any more obvious.

"Jerry, I don't have a lot of time for this, is there a reason why you're here?" The Meatball King asked

"Yeah there is King, I know you goat-napped tootsie, I was the one who told you about her, I want a piece of the action" Jerry said before there was a beep signaling that Jerry hung up.

I starred at the phone wide eyed "That idiot" I muttered.

"Oh no, we got disconnected!" Milton exclaimed.

"What we should do?" Phil asked.

"Call him back" Kim shrugged.

"Yeah" We all shouted. We sat there waiting for Jerry to answer when a thought dawned on me.

"Um, guys, how's Jerry supposed to answer the phone with the Meatball King sitting right in front of him?"

We all shared a look "Hang up! Hang up!" everyone shouted.

Kim tapped the screen but it froze "Um, it froze" Kim said slowly.

I started crazily tapping the phone until the voicemail sound went off.

We all sat in the dojo anxiously waiting for Jerry to return and when he did he was covered in suds and looked like he was caught in a fire. He sat down and explained exactly what happened from when he hung up to when he arrived here at the dojo.

"What I don't understand is why you're covered in suds?" Kim asked.

"Well, just before I almost burst into flames, I ran through the car wash where I realized two things. One, you know that blow-dryer at the end? It can literally blow your freckles off. Two, the Meatball King was talking to his boss on the phone today and he was scared to death of him."

"How does that help us?" Jack asked.

"He's never seen the guy! They call him the schnoz" Jerry told us.

I chuckled "The Schnoz?"

"Why do they call him that?" Milton asked.

"Because he's got one gnarly looking honker" Jerry said. Then a thought once again dawned on me and by the look on everyone else's face they had it too. We all looked over at Rudy smirking.

"What?" Rudy asked.

XXXXXX

So that night Milton, Jack, Kim, and I all got dressed up in jumpsuits pretending to be the 'Schnoz' henchman, which was Rudy. We stood behind a building awaiting our signal form Jerry.

"Some you might even know" Jerry said which was our cue to walk out.

"Oh yeah? Like who?" The Meatball King mused.

"The Schnoz" Rudy shouted in an ancient as we came into view. "I would've been here earlier but I got lost in all this fog."

"I swear on my mama's meatballs If I knew Phil was a friend of yours, I would have never disrespected him" The Meatball King said looking scared. "Dirk give him the goat"

Rudy knelt down in front of Tootsie "Tootsie, welcome back to the family."

"Let's go Tootsie" Phil said and the two walked off.

Rudy stood up and I went wide eyed at his bare upper lip "You don't know how lucky you are that not a hair on tootsie's—the goat ate my fake mustache didn't it" Rudy said in his normal voice.

A guy came at Jack but he kicked him over a table and began the fight.

I had just got my guy down when I heard Milton shout "Rudy! Meatball Bazooka!"

I turned and saw the Meatball King whip out a Meatball Bazooka and shoot it at Rudy. But nothing hit him because Jerry jumped in the way. Rudy got up and fought off Dirk. Then The Meatball King cocked the Bazooka but before he could shoot anymore meatballs Joan in an orange jumpsuit came flying out of the air vent and tackled The Meatball King.

"This is where we go our separate ways" Joan said to Eddie who just came out of the air vent as well. "Good luck kid" Joan said before she ran off.

"Bye, Norma!" Eddie shouted. Norma? I do not want to know that story?

The Meatball King stood up and straightened his jacket while he walked up to us. "I can't believe you did this to me, Jerry! I treated you like a son. You were like family"

Jerry scoffed "You're not my family. These people are my family"

"All I know is your family's crazy! Let's get out of here guys" then the Meatball king and his henchman left.

"Oh, Rudy, I found my receipt, I did pay for that pretzel" Eddie said excitedly to Rudy.

"Oh yeah, let's see it" Rudy said holding out his hand.

"I don't have it. Joan ate it" Eddie told him.

"Here we go. First you steal and now you're lying. I've got a guy that deals with liars" Rudy flung his arm around Eddie's shoulder and guided him away. I really don't want to know that story.

"I just want to say how sorry I am" Jerry apologized to us. "let the whole job thing get to my head and money should never be more important than friendship"

I stood up its okay I forgive you, but if you ever call me Chiquita again I'll rip out your tongue" I threatened.

"Got it" Jerry agreed.

"But in the end you were the one who came up with the plan to get tootsie back and it all worked out" Jack said standing up as well. "And on top of that you got yourself a go-cart"

"No, we got a go-cart" Jerry corrected.

I smiled and high fived Kim as we all cheered. But it was overtook y Joan screaming as she drove away in our go-cart. "Two hours to Mexico, losers!"
