*Tuxedo*

Pythor sighed as he tapped his tail and looked at his Rolex impatiently. Ten minutes. Usually it takes shorter for someone to try on a tux. He then knocked on the door to the changing room.

"Lloyd," he called through it, "is everything alright in there?"

"Yeah, fine," the Green Ninja answered from behind it.

"Well, I asked because you've been in their for ten minutes now. You need help with your tie or something?"

"Why would I need help with a clip-on?" Pythor's face sudden became paler.

"Uh, Lloyd? It's not the…zip of trouble, is it?"

"Pythor, I'm even screaming my head off."

"Well, if that's not the problem, then what is?"

"…I feel like an idiot in this thing, okay? I'm afraid the guys are gonna laugh at me." The Serpentine then sighed with relief that it's not the zip of trouble.

"Don't worry. If any of them do, I'll punch him in the nose for you."

"Hey!" Kai snapped from his chair as the others looked up at the Anacondrai nervously.

"Well, if you don't want that," Pythor said to him with a look, "then don't laugh!"

"Alright," Lloyd sighed before the door opened. He then came out dressed in a white tuxedo complete with a yellow rose. The others just stared at him in awe.

"Somebody say something," Lloyd then asked half a minute of silence later. "Don't leave me hanging here."

"Wow," Jay said.

"Lloyd, you look good," Cole stated.

"My calculations indicate that you now have a 87.5% greater chance of attracting some lovely ladies at the party," Zane concurred.

"That's what I'm afraid of," Lloyd groaned.

"You're don't still have issues with cooties, do you?" Kai asked with annoyance.

"No, I'm over those," the blond answered. "It's deciding who to dance with first I'm worried about."

"Oh…"

*Lab Explosion (parody of the Penguins of Madagascar episode Jiggles)*

Pythor jumped with a cry of surprise when there was there was a muffled BOOM that shook the house, almost spilling his coffee all over the newspaper. He let out an irritated growl before turning to the living room.

"Skalidor," he called to the Constrictai lying on the couch reading a magazine, "what did I say about weapons-testing in the house?"

"It wasn't me," he answered, not taking his eyes out of the book.

"I think it was Acidicus, Pythor," Skales explained before he, Fangtom, and Pythor turned to the armored door across the hall from the kitchen and living room.

"Yeah, now that I think about it," the Fangpyre stated, "he's been in his lab all night." Pythor then got up from his chair.

"Acidicus?" he called. "Is everything okay in there?" The door then opened to reveal a black, smoking Acidicus coming out.

"Everything's under control, guys," he answered in a dazed state. "Just used too much…nitro…glycerin…uhh." He then fainted facedown.

"I think I better get the first aid kit," Fangtom said before slithering off.

*Belly-Flop Buck*

"WHOA-AAOO-OOOAAA!"

"Hang in there, Cole!" Jay called out to the Black Ninja. "You got him on the ropes now!" Cole obeyed and took a strong grip on the reins. The wild palomino continued to buck, wanting to get him off of his back. Pythor pulled his tan cowboy hat over his eyes.

"I can't watch," he whimpered. "Tell me when it's over."

"Hey, guys!" Cole then called out to the other Ninja and Serpentine Generals. "I got it! I got it! I—DYAAAUUUGGGHHH!" Cole screamed as the horse bucked him off so hard that he flew right over the fence and did a flailing belly-flop right into the lake on the other side with a loud SMACK!

"Ooooooohh…" the group groaned with winces as the Black Ninja slowly sank into the watery surface.

"He got it," Lloyd and Skales groaned with the "Yeesh…" look as Pythor lifted his head up.

"What happened?" he asked, looking around. "What did I miss?"

"You don't wanna know," Kai and Fangtom answered simultaneously.
