Toby was just opening his locker at the beginning of school, and he didn't even flinch when he found a bunch of water balloons falling out and soaking his clothes from head to toe. The pranks on him have gotten a little more frequent for a couple weeks, but he didn't mind at all. Especially since he found a laminated note that said, "Wet's up Handsome McDork, signed... Nia Jaq." Yep, the girl from chapter one is still pulling these shitcks on him. Though they were less gross and painful, but a couple occasions when people were getting suspicious. "Oh, and a little heart. Turn the note." he did so, and saw an invitation to the new Ace Savy Jr movie tonight, with an 'or else'. He smiled and winked off camera to someone we can't see.
"Hey pal." Toby jumped when he heard his friend Grant approach him, he tugged the note away in his back pack and turned to his best friend.
"Hey Grant, what's going on?" he tried to play it cool like nothing was off.
"Oh nothing, just that there's this new dual Bash Bros tournament at the arcade. Winners get two tickets to Dairyworld A-moos-ment park!" he showed Toby a flier for such a video game tournament.
"SERIOUSLY!? Oh to bad I'm busy helping Rhonda with stuff." he wanted to go but, he knew that if he flaked on someone like Nia Jaq, you be turned into flakes. And not the kind that comes in a bowl with milk.
When Grant heard the name 'Rhonda' he immediately went into a dreamy state, just like his father when he use to think about his friend's oldest aunt when he was his age. "Rhonda~" he swooned. When ever he even thinks about her, he goes hazy eyed and starts spouting absolute nonsense. He stumbled away saying, "Oh what's the Easter Bunny doing here in Transylvania on Christmas? "
Toby turned to us and commented on his friends behavior, "Yeah he gets like that whenever he's around Rhonda, he goes goomballed and starts saying things that don't make any sense as per what the author just explained a few in the last paragraph. Too much like that, and he'll never come back from Rhondaville. But that's not important." he continued talking through the 4th wall as he made his way to class, "Look, I like the guy. But Nia really hates people seeing her passionate side, so we decided to keep... whatever is going on between us on the hush-hush. That goes to my friends, adults, and even my own family. I don't expect my self to keep this a secret for long but, I really don't want to incur the wrath of Nia Jaq. One time I accidently broke her skateboard, and she whacked me on the rear with both pieces of it... for an hour... each. Couldn't sit properly for two weeks, I had to tell my family I was the victim of angry bees." He was now sitting in his desk waiting for class to begin, he returned to his conversation with the audience, "While she does leave a sting on me every now and then, but I get more from home. Have you met my family?"
Later tonight
It was six fifteen, a half hour until the movie starts. Toby has just exited his room in a similar outfit his dad wore on a double date he and his wife went on with their older siblings, except his shirt was grey. "Okay, dress sharp, hair nice. I know it's a little formal, but we we're gonna go to this new restaurant called 'The Stop'. It's a bit fancy, but they have amazing food. Okay here's the hard part, getting out the door without my family seeing me." he then slowly made his way to the stairs, looking over his shoulders for any signs of his sisters or brothers. He had to hide from his sisters because of the probable constant dolling they would do to make this a romantic date, though it wasn't that far, but Nia Jaq prefers something small. Not an entrance on a helicopter with a stand of flowers and a chocolate fountain. The Louds were always a tad 'Go big or go home!' kinda people. And he couldn't let his brothers see him like this, because the roughhousing means he had to start his presentation all over again, or the constant teasing that brothers are known for. He made is way down the stairs and immediately out the door, much to his surprise he made it out in one piece so easily. This was a tad unnerving for him.
"Okay that was way to easy, something must be up with my siblings." he checked his watch, "But I have no time for that, I gotta go." he then went over to his bike, and rode off into town to the theater.
But little did he know he was being watched. From the bushes was the little plumbers of the Loud bunch: Ludo and Robin. Ludo brought out a walkie talking, "The choo choo has left the station."
When Toby rounded the corner, a figure was shown from behind a trash can. This was Lyla in a camo unitard, she pulled out her walky talky "Tom Brady is approaching the endzone."
Then Rhonda and Locke were shown hanging from a tree, Locke pulled his listening device out, "Would you quit it with the codes, where's Toby?" he demanded.
Everyone rolled their eyes as they were hiding, Lexi pulled her talky out while she was in a oversize trench coat and big brimmy hat, "he's near the movie theater."
"Poo poo."
"And Randy says you're taking all the fun out of missing his nap time." The oldest twins rolled their eyes at Rhea's translation of their youngest's babble.
With Toby
The middle child of the extra large bunch has just reached the theater, he put his bike on the rack and chained it their. He got a text on his phone, 'Waiting inside, theater 6, look for an extra large popcorn bucket'. He nodded as he entered into the theater. The others followed suit in trench coats and shades.
Toby made it to the room they were playing the movie, he looked for the bucket he was instructed with and saw his 'date' with it. Now he had a huge smile seeing his former bully in such attire.
Nia Jaq wore a black dress that reached her knees, with some slight frills on the hem, and a white bow on her left side. She also wore her black thigh socks and with white flats, she also had a tiny hairclip with a yin and yang symbol on her head that kept her hair in a side ponytail. She even put a little make up on her face. She didn't like getting all dolled up for anything, but the restaurant they were going to afterwards was worth all this glamour. Also from the reaction her outfit had on Toby was an added bonus. She patted the seat next to her, and he was instantly there.
"You actually showed up." she said in a very seductive Asian accent.
"Of course I did, I love the Ace Savy franchise hehe." he giggled embarrassedly.
"Oh so you want to marry it in ten years." she teased while looking away in mock sadness.
Toby tried to remedy his mistake, "No no, that's reserved for someone..." he took her soft hands in his, "special."
Nia smirked at how much this dork was a total wreck in trying to please her, but she loved him anyway. "I was just messing with you, you know how much you mean to me." she said in a loving voice.
"Yeah, same to you." She gave him a little kiss on the cheek, which made him smile.
"There's a pinnacle in the carrot cellar." he let out in a love filled trance, until he got slapped in the face, "thanks, and sorry. " he said as he rubbed his stinging face.
"It's fine, just don't go all McBride on me." Nia told him.
While they were talking, the Louds were in the far back row listening in on their conversation.
"Is that the girl that clocked Toby before?" Remi asked suspiciously.
"Can't be, she looks so pretty and dolled up, blegh." Robin gagged.
"Didn't he call her Nia Jaq? As in the note I found in his room?" everyone looked to Lance in confusion, he showed them the note he found. When they read it, they were shocked at what this meant.
"Wait does that mean?" R.J. questioned. Just then they saw Toby and Nia making out while the ads were still playing on the screen.
"It would seem so." Leroy stated.
"So that's what he's been doing at night for the past few days, going places and trading spit with the toughest gal in middle school?" Ruby wondered. "Nice of bro to snag one."
"Uh guys." Razor told them and they saw the apparent couple in question staring a disappointed hole into their souls.
Gulp. The Louds went as Nia marched up to where they we're sitting with intent to turn them into soup.
Meanwhile with Toby, "Yeah that's gonna get a little rough, so let's just," he then swiped the scene over to him and Nia Jaq watching the opening to the movie. "you didn't kill them did?"
"Nope, just made sure they keep it low key, and to not spy on anymore of our dates."
"So now we're on a date huh?"
Nia turned to the grey haired boy, and pressed her lips to his hard. Which he returned with as much force, or as much as he can.
But in a dumpster in the back of the theater, lay twenty human pretzels, and two babies who were just looking with wonder.
"I can't feel my limbs." They all groaned in pain.
