A/N: As would Pit in Kid Icarus: Uprising would say, "Sorry for keeping you waiting!" Here's the plot for this episode to get you started!
Plot: When Mickey realized that the teachers and staff are not getting along very well, he decided to organized a team building program. While all the teachers and staff are busy, Tony tries to make up to Vice Principal Prickley from his last prank by organizing a school seminar on bugs and Bug-type Pokemon. But when Timmy accidentally set the bugs free, the ToonSchool gang tries to round them up before they destroy the whole school and at the same time, don't let the teacher's team building program be disturb by bugs.
So, what are we waiting for? Here comes Part 1!
Buggy Teamwork: Part 1
Near at the cafeteria entrance, Tony is holding a water balloon tied to a fishing pole at the top of the doors as he said, "Okay, who is the next victim of my Water Balloon of Slippery Doom? Will it be one of the Snobs? Will it be one of the nerds? Or will it be one of the killjoys?"
When he heard some footsteps outside the cafeteria, he quickly hides behind one of the doors and closed his eyes. When the figure enters the cafeteria, he quickly let go of the handle of the fishing pole, dropping the balloon onto the figure. He then quietly celebrates his successful prank as he said, "Yes! Tony Clark is on the roll today! Now the question is who is my latest victim of my Water Balloon of Doom?"
But when he takes a peek after he climbs down the ladder, his eyes widened in horror as he saw his latest victim turns out to be Vice Principal Prickley, who is now wet thanks to Tony's water balloon and now very angry. "Okay, maybe I should count that as 'awesome' and 'I'm so in trouble' list," he whispered to himself as he quietly slips away from his hiding place.
"I know one hooligan who did this," Prickley said to himself when he quickly saw Tony runs out of the cafeteria, but he quickly catches him by his collar. "Not so fast, Clark!"
"Hey, Mr. Prickley! You know that joke was just a joke, right?" Tony sheepishly asked with a fake grin on this face.
"Do I look like I'm joking around?" Prickley asked in a strict tone, which Tony replies with a nodded no with fear, "I thought so. My office, now!"
He then dragged Tony to his office, much to his frustration when he winces in pain.
"Come on, Mr. Prickley. It was an accident!" Tony tries to reason with his vice principal as they were about to reach their destination.
But, Prickley didn't believe his excuse as they get to his office. "Save your excuses, Clark. You're going to once I'm done-"
Before they can enter the office, all of the teachers and staff start swarming on him in anger, which they began to complain as Minnie reminds him, "You said that the props have arrived, but they said it could take a while!"
"And how about that paperwork I asked for?" SpongeBob demanded.
"I'll deal with your problems after I deal with Tony's water balloon prank," Prickley said as he's about to enter his office, but he was stopped by Professor Oak, who also complained, "Well, what about the shipments on the Pokémon food? I'm worried about them in the Creature House and it's still not arrive yet."
"Excuse me! What about me? With all the paperwork in my classroom, I'm like a needle in a haystack which I can't find my way OUT of the haystack," Sandy complained.
Then, Daisy quickly pushed Sandy and said, "Hey, Miss Karate Chops-a-Lot! He's supposed to help me with the schedules! How am I supposed to go to the spa with those cramped schedules on my desk?"
"And those broken instruments aren't going to fix themselves, you know," Sunny added.
"Hey! Who said you're butting in?" Daisy asked in anger.
"Who said you have to be bossy?" Sunny asked back to Daisy, which the two start arguing on each other.
"Hey! Can you two stop fighting for once? I have to tell Prickley about the small problem in the choir recital!" Squidward said to the arguing teachers.
"Well, maybe the real problem is you if you keep butting in, Mr. Grouchy!" Daisy said to Squidward, which he became offended at his mock name and joins the argument with Sunny and Daisy.
Can't take this fight any longer, Prickley quickly said to the teachers in anger, "Would you wait? I still have to deal with Clark here, so why don't you wait your lazy butts off and I'll deal all your problems later!"
Angry at what Prickley said to them, he along with the other teachers now started to argue each other. Seeing this predicament, Tony quietly slips away from the teachers as he flees from this scene as he passed Janitor cleaning the floors.
"Hi, guys!" Janitor happily said to the teachers, but noticing that they didn't noticed him as they kept on arguing, he then said, "Bye, guys!"
As he left, he walked passed Mickey, which he also saw the fight and became angry at what he saw. "Okay, enough! What's happening here?"
The teachers then began to file some complaints about each other to Mickey. But since they telling the principal in unison, Mickey can't understand them as he ordered, "Stop! Listen, this fight has crossed the line! I think it's time to put this situation under control and put this team back in order!"
"And how do you propose to do that?" Squidward asked in annoyance.
Mickey thought about it for a minute and said, "By bringing this team back together. What we need here is a team building conference!"
"Huh?" the teachers wondered.
"Yeah, with this program, I assure you that we can solve any problems in our way by working together as a team," Mickey happily explained, "So, who's in?"
The teachers stared at Mickey for a moment, and then they quickly continue to argue each, much to Mickey's dismay.
"I better announce about this," Mickey muttered as he heads straight to his office, hoping to patch this up.
In the teacher's lounge, the teachers are all wearing some team building uniforms, but they are still arguing each other when Mickey entered the lounge and saw the teachers.
"People, people, please, please! We're here to treat each other with respect and dignity," Mickey calmly told the teachers, but they didn't hear him, forcing Mickey to ordered in anger, yet calm tone, "So, BE QUIET AND LISTEN!"
The teachers stop arguing as they became scared at Mickey's tone at them. "Now, I brought in a gentleman who will help us improve our group dynamics," Mickey said as a man wearing a green suit and glasses entered the lounge.
"Everyone, I like you to meet Mr. Roger Doofenshmirtz," Mickey introduced to a man behind him, which everyone starts to laugh at him for his silly last name.
"Yes, I know. My last name is funny, I get it," Roger said as everyone keeps on laughing at him until they stop to focus on the matter today.
"Uh, Jumba want to ask. Are you related to Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz by any chance?" Jumba asked.
"Yes and rest assure, I'm not like my older brother," Roger explained to the teachers.
However, Dr. Wakeman didn't laugh at Roger. Instead, she became smitten, quickly approaches him and introduced herself, "Hi, I'm Nora. I can't wait to put myself in your hands."
"Hello, Nora. Nice to meet you, too," Roger said to Dr. Wakeman, which she sheepishly laughs in a love struck matter.
Seeing Dr. Wakeman is in love with Roger, the girls react this moment with happiness as they said, "Aww!" However, the guys watch them in disgust as some of them pretend to gag, which the girls smack their heads in annoyance.
"Ouch!" the guys wince as the girls scoffed at their behavior on this moment.
In the hallways of ToonSchool, Tony is escorting some researchers around the school as he said, "You are going to love this school a lot better than the World Insect Fair in ToonTown Park."
"Oh, it's lucky that I ran into you, young man," the researcher said to Tony, "It's unfortunate about the ToonTown Park. Built on the former haunted hospital and graveyard, you said?"
"Yeah, they have a lot of problems over there. Trees coming to life, ghosts kidnapping unsuspecting teenagers, and I don't want to mentioned what's under the bridge," Tony lied to one of the researchers, which he's somehow convinced to his story, "Or as here, we have a big space for your conference and finest teachers and staff of all of ToonTown."
However, he spoke too soon when they saw Janitor, trying to untangle himself from the phone cord as Daryl watched in disbelief. "And him," Tony added.
As he watched his adult friend trying to get out of his tangle situation, Daryl asked in suspicion and disbelief, "How exactly did you get tangled in the phone cord?"
"Well, it started when the phone rang on Daisy's desk, I tried to get some paper on the other desk, and from there, it's all downhill," Janitor explained as he finishes untangling himself.
"Hey, Janitor. I've got a big conference for you to book," Tony said to Janitor, knowing that he's the only active staff of this school since the teachers and staff are currently busy with their team building conference.
As the researcher puts down the box he's holding on the desk in front of Janitor, the Clarks move away from the adults to have a private conversation. "Hey Tony. What are you doing?" Daryl asked.
"I'm doing the mature thing. I'm making up to Prickley for accidentally drop a water balloon on his head," Tony explained, "Besides, that water balloon isn't for him, though."
Daryl suddenly gave him a glare, knowing that he's lying again, but Tony said in defense, "Hey, I swear! It wasn't for him this time. Honest!"
"Hey guys! What's going on?" Timmy asked as he, Jimmy, and Ash walk over the Clarks.
"Oh, just that my brother 'accidentally' made a wrong target today," Daryl said as Tony glared at him in anger.
"It really was an accident!" Tony snapped as Janitor positions the box that the lead researcher is holding.
"So uh, what kind of conference is this?" Janitor asked.
"Oh, my colleagues and I are entomologists," the researcher said.
"Here at ToonSchool, we don't care what kind of religion you are," Timmy said to the researcher, not knowing what he and his colleagues really are.
However, Jimmy knows what he means as he said to Timmy, "Actually, entomologists study bugs."
"Bugs?" Timmy repeated in fear, not knowing where Tony is going with this.
"Plus Bug Pokémon. You'll be amazed in what you can find around the world, especially Pokémon," the entomologist mentioned as Timmy sheepishly laughs to hide his fear.
"Cool, I want to see those, don't you Timmy?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, cool..." Timmy sheepishly said, trying to hide his scared tone to his friend.
However, Janitor isn't fazed at all as he said, "Well, did you know that I was formerly known as professional bug catcher? Yup, I can take on some nasty and scary bugs anytime, anywhere."
However, when he opened the box to take a closer look, he quickly startled at what he saw and shouts, "WHOA, INSECT ALERT!"
The kids and the entomologists are startled a little bit as Janitor continues in panic, "Someone grab my mask and pesticides!"
The lead entomologist became confused at what he said as Tony nod his head with his expression mixed in dismay and amusement.
Back in the teacher's lounge, Roger starts the conference as he said, "Co-workers are like family. You don't get to choose them."
Dr. Wakeman pretends to laugh as she was still smitten as Squidward said in frustration, "Well in some cases, co-workers are family. In this case, some of them are currently in a relationship with a school principal."
Knowing what Squidward is talking about, Minnie frowned at him as he continued, "Mickey always deal Minnie's problem first before us because she's the principal's boyfriend. Some might say it's favoritism."
"You mean boyfriend-tism," SpongeBob corrected.
However, Minnie ignored SpongeBob and threatened Squidward in anger, "Oh, I'm about to give you a smack-matism."
The two teachers start to argue once again until Roger stops it and said, "Okay, this is getting out of issues."
"Yes, and when issues get out, we're gonna have a steel cage match," Prickley added as he tries to stop the argument, which doesn't help as Squidward and Minnie continue fighting. Luckily, Prickley finally stops the fight as he motions them to stop talking.
"Could we just get on with it, Mr. Doofenshmirtz?" Prickley asked in frustration.
"Now that I think about it, is your last name Drusselstienian?" Sandy asked to Roger.
"Why, yes. In fact, Drusselstien is my home country," Roger agreed, "And I have to say, I'm impressed."
"Thanks. I took a little Drusselstienian back in high school," Sandy said to Roger.
"Wow. Which I'm sure wasn't very long ago," Roger said as Sandy silently giggled.
However, Dr. Wakeman steps in and angrily shouts to Sandy, "Step off, Karate Freak. He's mine!"
Sandy silently agrees as she backs away in fear. Ignoring this awkward moment, Roger then continues the conference, "Okay. All right everyone; let's move on to an exercise to help us with trusting each other."
"It's not that lame old fall in thing, is it?" Barkin snickered.
"It's not lame!" Roger snapped, causing Barkin to keep quiet in shock.
"Hey, everyone, let's pair up," Roger called as they followed and find a partner for this exercise. However, Dr. Wakeman holds Roger's arm in love struck, which Roger said to her, "Um, I meant with the other teachers."
Realizing what he said, Dr. Wakeman lets go of his arm and go to Jumba's side, secretly disappointed about it. After the teachers found their partners, Roger instructed, "Ok, good. All right, so now one person stands with their back to their partner. I will say "go," and then you will trust that your partner will be there to catch you. "
"Well, it looks like it's just you and me," Jack said to Lou as they prepared themselves for the exercise.
"Everybody ready?" Roger asked, which everyone answered yes, "Go!"
Everyone then fall down on their backs, which their partners catch them in time. However, Lou didn't fall like the others as Jack waited impatiently for him.
"Um, Mr. Pickles, is there a problem?" Roger asked.
"No, no problem. Just don't want to fall," Lou answered.
"Are you saying that you don't trust me?" Jack asked in suspicion.
"No! It's just that I don't want to throw off my back again," Lou said in defense, "And don't even let me mentioned about my upper backaches."
Seeing this problem, Dr. Wakeman have an idea as she said to Roger, "I got this."
Barkin let her go to let her help Lou for the exercise. "Look, Mr. Pickles. Why don't you imagine in your happy place? That always get my fears away in situations like this," Dr. Wakeman suggested.
"Yeah, my... happy... place..." Lou said in daze as he imagines what Nora suggested. But he was so dazed, that he fainted and fell down in front instead of back that Dr. Wakeman and Jack intended.
"Close enough," Roger said as they shrugged at what they saw.
In the Creature House, Jimmy is entranced by the insects in the cages as he said in excitement, "I can't believe I'm face to antenna with a coleoptera esetari al borum!"
Tony and Timmy became confused at what Jimmy said as they turned around with confused looks on their faces. "English?" Tony asked.
"No, Latin," Jimmy corrected as he was still mesmerized by the bugs.
"Do we look like we know Latin?" Timmy asked in disbelief, knowing that their friend isn't paying attention to them.
Daryl just sighed at Jimmy's fascination on bugs and said to the boys, "It's a beetle that eats wood."
"Oh. Thanks, Daryl," Tony said as he went back to keep staring at the window.
Like Jimmy, Ash was also mesmerized by some Bug Pokémon, but not too much as he said, "If you think that's interesting, check out this Joltik. It can use Electric and Bug-type moves at the same time."
"Why am I not surprise," Timmy said in bored, yet sarcastic tone.
"Now remember, Dr. Antennae said to keep the room warm for the bugs," Jimmy reminded as he walks around to see more bugs.
"Got it. I also ordered a hot fudge sundae," Tony said as he keeps staring at the window for his delivery, but he turned around as he saw Jimmy glaring at him about he ordered an ice cream dessert, "For the bugs."
Jimmy rolled his eyes as Timmy approaches the cages and said to the bugs in a mocking tone, "But somebody got 8 arms and can't hold a spoon."
Timmy laughed at first, but the bug jumps out at him, which he quickly startled at it and fell backward. The boys heard the commotion as they became shocked as they saw the cages got knocked down thanks to Timmy's startling shock, causing all the bugs and the Bug Pokémon got out and start roaming around the Creature House.
"Oh, no, oh, no! No, oh no! The bug got out!" Jimmy said in panic.
"Quick! We got to pick them up before they got out of the Creature House," Daryl said in the same tone as they try to pick the bugs up.
"Relax, they're all stuck in the Creature House and it's heavily guarded to keep all the pets and Pokémon in here. What are they going to do? Open the door?" Tony said in a positive tone.
However, his positive confidence turned sour when he saw the bugs that Jimmy mentioned earlier are eating the door, causing all of the bugs to get out of the Creature House.
"No, just eat it!" Ash said as he, Timmy, Jimmy, and Daryl left the Creature House to chase the bugs through the hallways.
"When I said I want to make up to Prickley for that prank, this is not what I have in mind," Tony remarked as he followed his friends to chase the bugs.
A/N: Yeesh. I hope they can catch the bugs in time before the teachers are done with the team building conference. Do you want to know what the surprise I've been keeping? You can find out in my deviantArt profile soon, I promise! For now, stay tuned for the next part!
