Jeremy rang up Mason's cell phone, but it was turned off.
"Rats, he's on stage!" said Jeremy.
Meanwhile Mason was on stage introducing the next act.
"Up next is a duet of the song "Last Christmas" by ULRICH AND YUMI!!!" smiled Mason clapping his hands.
Mason walked off stage and he opened his phone and recalled Jeremy.
"Yo..." said Mason again.
"Mason MAKE SURE NO ONE LEAVES THE BUILDING ACCEPT FOR ULRICH AND YUMI!" sadi Jeremy.
"Okay...." said Mason hanging up.
"Yumi started singing, and after the song was over they went to the curtain side. The crowd went berserk as Yumi and Ulrich left stage.
"Okay folks! Up next we have...... Karate with Hiroki!" smiled Mason walking back stage.
"Good job guys!" smiled Emily.
"I thought you handled lights.." said Yumi.
"Sort of... I actually manage the positioning." said Emily.
"Oh." said Ulrich.
"Uhhh.. can I talk to you both? "asked Mason.
"Whats up?" asked Ulrich.
"Out little friend XANA popped his head up at the wrong time..." whispered Mason.
"Okay we'll get going." said Yumi.
"Watch out there's robots outside." said Mason.
Ulrich and Yumi ran out and battled a few of the robots until they got to the factory.
"Okay hurry up and get to the tower!" said Jeremy.
Meanwhile the show was starting to end with the last few acts remaining.
"Oh boy." said Mason.
"What's wrong? "asked Mr. Ames.
"Ehhhh sir... can we delay the show, and have an intermission for our crew?" asked Mason.
"Sure why not? Your the host!" smiled Ames telling his assistant.
"There will be a five minute intermission for our crew." said a random voice.
"You guys really got to hurry!" thought Mason.
Meanwhile on Lyoko, the warriors weren't doing so hot.
"Jeremy, were stuck and can't get to the tower!" yelled Odd.
"Hold on...Aelita make a distraction!" said Jeremy.
Aelita created and false clone of herself and sent it running into the swarm, the monsters started firing on them while the Lyoko warriors came from behind and wiped them out.
"Okay....Jeremy were by the tower." said Odd.
"Good." said Jeremy.
Aelita walked in, but she didn't go in.
"Jeremy we have a problem!" said Aelita.
"I know, XANA coded the entrance, I'll have to decipher it." said Jeremy.
"I hope Mason's distracting them good enough!" said Odd.
Back to the talent show, Mason was starting to panic because there were only two acts left.
"I have an idea!" said Mason calling Jeremy.
Jeremy heard his cell phone ring and he answered it.
"Hello." said Jeremy.
"Jeremy activate a tower!" said Mason.
"Why?" asked Jeremy.
"Trust me on this...." said Mason.
Jeremy activated another tower and it turned the bright green.
"Okay what do I need to do next?" asked Jeremy.
"Send the spectre to lock all the doors..... they're electronically locked." said Mason.
"Okay!" said Jeremy typing in some data.
"Great thanks!" said Mason.
"Mason... what are you doing?" asked Emily.
"Eeep!" squealed Mason.
"What? What is it!?!?" asked Jeremy.
Mason turned around, turned off his cell phone and started getting nervous. His hands started getting sweaty and his face a little purplish.
"Uhhhh... just calling someone......." said Mason fiddling with his fingers.
"Who?" asked Emily.
"Ummm......well......the Courthouse." lied Mason.
"Why the courthouse?" asked Emily.
"Because......because I wanted to find out Ulrich's Birthday." sighed Mason.
"Ulrich's Birthday? " asked Emily.
"Oh yeah... I mean he's my bud and all...." said Mason.
"I see....." said Emily.
"Well, I guess I have to go back on stage now." smiled Mason pacing towards the stage.
"End of five minute intermission, now our last act of the show...... tap dancing!" smiled Mason walking back off stage.
Mason started panicking and tapping his fingers on a table.
"What the crap...... what's taking so long?" asked Mason to himself.
Meanwhile back on Lyoko the Lyoko warriors weren't doing so hot....
"Jeremy we need a new plan NOW!!!!" said Odd.
"I TRYING!!!" said Jeremy.
Then Jeremy heard his cellphone ring.
"Hello?" asked Jeremy.
"You really need to hurry Jeremy!" said Mason.
"We are in a pickle right now." said Jeremy.
"WELL LIGHT A FIRE UNDER IT!!!!!" yelled Mason hanging up.
Mason started pacing back stage.
"Settle down it looks like your about to have a heart attack!" said Emily.
"Ehhhhhh....." said Mason.
after five minutes Mr. Ames came up to crew.
"Ready for the final act?" smiled Mr. Ames.
"What final act?" asked Emily and Mason.
"Dancing." smiled Mr. Ames.
"By who?" asked Mason.
"By the winner of course!" laughed Ames.
"It's time already?" asked Mason.
"Yes, then crew and cast goes to dance then we all go home." said Mr. Ames.
"Goodie." sighed Mason.
"Looks like your ready to go on." said the director.
"If it was up to me, there would be no contest." thought Mason.
Mason walked out with an envelope.
"I hoped you liked our show because we have our winner!" smiled Mason opening the letter.
Mason smeared the ink on purpose ans pretended not to be able to read it.
"Whats wrong?" whispered the director.
"It's smeared!" said Mason.
Mr. Ames walked on stage with another envelope.
"Our winner is.......Mr. James with his dog." said Mason.
After the winning ceremonies the director walked up to stage and did the final closing and then the peole started to flood out.
"Hey....THE DOOR'S STUCK!" said one guy trying to pull open the door.
"Perfect..." said Mason under his breath.
"Don't worry we can reactivate the doors!" said a security guard.
"Oh booooooy...." said Mason quickly pressing in numbers on his phone.
"Jeremy you really got to move fast!" said Mason.
"Don't worry, Aelita just deactivated the tower." smile Jeremy.
People unlocked the door and saw scrap piles outside.
Mason let out all his breath and he smiled as the director shoved all of the people to the reception.
"It's a shame you didn't win." said Mason taking a sip of soda.
"Yeah...but it's okay...." said Ulrich and Yumi.
"Does this means your going steady?" asked Odd.
"Ummmm.....yeah." blushed Ulrich.
"CONGRATS TO THE TWO LOVERS!" smiled Mason raising his glass into the air.
"CONGRATS!" said Aelita, Jeremy and Odd clinking their glassees into Mason's.
"Maybe you and Aelita, plus Mason should date too!" smiled Odd.
"Don't push it Odd...." said Mason, Jeremy, and Aelita.
