A/N: Well here it is everyone, the official return of ToonSchool! Enjoy the episode, and I promise you the wait was worth it! Here's the plot!
Plot:Around the same time Tony meets his crush Charity Azkeal, socialist snob Penelope Lang (Atomic Betty) begins to follow Tony around after being linked to him via a tabloid magazine after the Toonsters perform at Mickey's nightclub the "House of Mouse". Penelope only follows him to boost her popularity, but she ends up invading his privacy and that of his friends, and also putting Tony and Charity's chances of getting together in jeopardy. The gang must find someway to make Penelope leave Tony alone. Meanwhile, Brad and Dash, in danger of failing another history assignment, plagiarize several of Jimmy's old history papers, without realizing that Jimmy had inserted a bizarre passage about a fictional absurd phobia into each paper (to fend off plagiarizers), which leads to hilarity.
Now let's start the return of ToonSchool with a new episode!
Publicity Romance and Phobia Report: Part 1
It was night time in ToonTown, and at the local nightclub, the House of Mouse, the party was about to get started.
It seemed to be your typical night at the House, with guests going in and being greeted by Donald. Just then, a black SUV pulled up to the front.
"They're here!" someone shouted. Everyone turned to see the SUV and knew who it was. Immediately, paparazzi and fans swarmed and started snapping pictures. As they did, the seven members of the local band, the Toonsters stepped out. The members all put on sunglasses, except for Tony.
"Guys, let's not be those guys who wear sunglasses at night," he said. Believing him to be right, the others take their glasses off and started walking towards the entrance. However, without their sunglasses, the camera flashes soon blinded them, and they stumbled and fell into a pile.
"On second thought, maybe we should be those guys for 10 seconds," Tony said as they recovered. The band nodded in agreement, put their sunglasses back on and continued into the club.
Several hours later, the Toonsters were nearly finished with their final performance of the night.
All: If you want it all
Lay it on the line
It's the only life you've got,
So you gotta live it Big Time
The audience cheered at the last beat of the song as the Toonsters then bowed to them. Mickey Mouse then entered the stage and gestured towards them.
"Give it of for ToonSchool's very own band, the Toonsters," he said. The band members then stepped down from the stage and went to join the rest of the ToonSchool gang, where at tables in the audience. As Tony headed towards his seat, someone suddenly bumped into him as he walked.
"Hey watch where you're-" he started to say angrily. But then he got a good look the person: it was a girl his age with a black sideways ponytail, blue eyes, and wearing a blue skirt, grey shirt, and black sneakers with blue legwarmers. Upon seeing her, a warm fuzzy feeling washed over Tony as he stood, clearly lovestruck at the girl.
"Hi," she greeted him. "What's your name?"
"I'm Tiny-no uh, Teeny-ah I mean uh, Tony. Tony Clark," he introduced himself.
"I'm Charity Azkael," the girl introduced back. "I recently moved here from New York, and I'm starting school here as well. Sorry about that back there, I have this thing about not looking where I'm going."
"Yeah sorry for that back there," Tony said nervously. "I can get a little hotheaded at times. Can I buy you dinner to, you know, make it up to you?""
"Sure, I'd like that," Charity said, accepting the offer with a warm smile. "I've always wanted to have dinner with the lead singer of the rumored legendary Toonsters… and the stepbrother and host of Daryl Lente, the current Angel of Darkness."
Tony suddenly stopped right in his tracks, "Whoa, how'd you know about that?"
Before Charity could answer, Bloo came up to the two of them.
"Hey Tony," he said. "Who's the girl?"
"Well she's-" Tony started to say before turned his attention towards
"So where are you from? What's your favorite color? Your favorite food? How old are you?"
Bloo continued to ask question until finally Tony became annoyed and pulled out a can. Pointing it straight at Bloo, he pulled the top off and in an instant, a large twister sprouted out and whisked Bloo away into the distance.
"Sorry about him, he's one of my friends, but he can be a real pain in the butt sometimes."
"I see," Charity said as she and Tony went to a table, ignoring Bloo's calls for help.
"So how did you know that I'm kinda a host to Daryl?" Tony asked as he sat on his seat.
"Well, my dad is from the Dark Realm while my mom is from Brooklyn, New York," Charity explained. "So techinally, I'm kind of a Shadow Human. Plus, I heard all about your EnSoul's battles both in Dark Realm and in Southdale."
"Oh, I see," Tony said with a blush.
Tony and Charity spent the rest of the time there, eating together and talking and getting to know each other. When it was time to leave, Tony paid for their food and offered to give her a ride home.
"Thank's but I only live about a block away from here," Charity replied. "Thanks for the dinner though."
"It was a pleasure," Tony said. "If I see you at school tomorrow, I'll show you around and introduce you to my friends."
"Cool, see ya!" Charity said as she left. Tony stared after her for awhile before Daryl came up to him.
"Seems you've been busy, bro," he said. "Who is she?"
"New exchange student, I'll introduce you to her tomorrow," Tony said. "Tell the gang it's time to go home."
"Right on."
A few minutes later, Tony exited the club with his friends following close behind. He spotted a green heart necklace on the ground. Knowing it must belong to somebody, he picks it up and shout's, "Hey, somebody lose a necklace?"
"That's mine," a voice shouted. Tony turned and saw a brunette girl in a green dress approaching from the right, who took the necklace and clasped on to his hand. "I've been looking everywhere for this. Thank you so much, darling."
"Darling?" Tony said in confusion. Before he could ask, a group of paparazzi swarmed the two and started taking pictures and asking them questions, further confusing the young spy.
The next day, at their Krusty Towers apartment, Tony and Daryl were having breakfast with Ash and Delia. Tony's cell phone had been ringing since that morning, thanks to tabloids calling about a girl named Penelope Lang.
"She's not my girlfriend," Tony said. "I don't even know Penelope Lang. And that's for the record."
Tony then hung up, but just two seconds later his phone rang again.
"Hello," he answered. Hearing the person on the other end, he groaned to the others. "Great, Now they're calling from ToonTown Observer."
Getting back on the phone, he told the caller, "No, Penelope and I aren't involved in any way. I don't even know her."
Tony hung up the phone again and turned to Ash.
"Why do I keep getting calls about Penelope Lang," he said. "Who is she anyway?"
"Super rich young socialite, who goes to our school," Ash informed them. "She's spoiled rotten like Princess and Mindy and has close affiliations with the Snobs."
Tony's phone then rang again, and he, sick of the calls, answered the phone shouting, "I DON'T KNOW HER, LEAVE ME ALONE!"
However, the caller was a kid who had dialed the wrong number, and he started to cry. Tony, feeling guilty, tried to apologize.
"I'm–I'm sorry, kid. I–no, no you have the wrong number."
He hung up the phone again. "Great, I just made a little kid cry."
"Hey guys," Daryl said as he passed his phone to Tony. "Here's a picture of you with that Lang girl with your arms around each other."
Tony took Daryl's phone and looked at the screen and saw a picture in a tabloid of him with the girl he met as he left the House of Mouse. The head of the article said, "TONY GOT YOUNG RICH GIRL AS HIS YO-YO GIRL!"
"What the?" he said shocked as he started to remember. "Wait a minute…"
Flashback: Tony turned and saw a brunette girl in a green dress approaching from the right, who put her arms around him. "Thank you so much, darling."
"Darling?" Tony said in confusion. Before he could ask, a group of paparazzi swarmed the two and started taking pictures and asking them questions, further confusing the young spy.
"Oh my gosh," Tony said, realizing what was up. "She's the girl who's necklace I found last night!"
"Say what?" Ash and Daryl said together.
"I found and returned her necklace to her as I was leaving the club last night, she hugged me and then the paparazzi started taking pics."
"That's all?" Ash asked.
"That's all. She and I are not a couple. I don't even see what the big deal is. All she did was put her arms around me, and millions of girls have done that since I became famous."
He then the turns toward the readers and adds, "And everyone of them special. Seriously."
"Hey boys," Delia said as she came to Tony. "Heard somebody's got a new GF, a new boo, a new shorty."
"Mom!" Ash said, embarrassed at his mother's attempts to use slang.
"The only shorty in my life is Timmy," Tony said.
"Well I heard that you were so crazy about Penelope, you gave her a beautiful necklace," Delia told them.
"What? No I didn't!"
"Then what's with the picture of you handing her the necklace?"
Delia held up a copy of the Daily Toon Tabloid. On the front was a pic of Tony handing Penelope her necklace. Tony started to remember once again…
Flashback: Tony exited the club with his friends following close behind. He spotted a green heart necklace on the ground. Knowing it must belong to somebody, he picks it up and shout's, "Hey, somebody lose a necklace?"
"That's mine," a voice shouted. Tony turned and saw a brunette girl in a green dress approaching from the right, who took the necklace and put her arms around him. "I've been looking everywhere for this. Thank you so much, darling."
A photographer came and snapped their picture together.
"Okay this is ridiculous," Tony told them. "That necklace was hers. I'm just the "darling" hero that found it."
"Well don't worry about it, brother," Daryl said trying to comfort Tony. "You know these things. In a day or two this'll be forgotten on all the magazines and all the blogs."
Suddenly Daryl phone beeped. He took a look at it and said, "And all the vlogs."
The phone beeped again. "And all the Tweets too."
Tony put his hand over his face, exasperated at what was happening to his life.
Later that day, in History class, Lou was teaching the class about the Korean War.
"And to this day, the Koreas sit still separated in a shaky ceasefire, with no activity between them in their Demilitarized Zone," he told the class.
Blossom raised her hand. "So just so we're clear, the Korean Armistice Agreement was not a peace treaty?"
"Nope, it was a ceasefire."
Just then the end-of-class bell rang, and the students packed their stuff to leave.
"And remember class, your term papers on the Korean War are due by Friday," Lou reminded them. He then saw Dash and Brad about to leave and called to them, "Mr. Baxter and Mr. Morton, might you two snappers stay behind for a word please?"
"Ooh," some of kids said as they left. The two jocks then went to Lou's desk.
"What do you need, teach?" Dash asked.
"Yeah, and make it fast, we need to get to football practice," Brad said. "Coach says free period's the best opportunity to practice."
"Well, you might not have to worry about practice for long boys. Here are your tests from last Thursday back," He said as he handed them back a paper each. The boys took a look at the tests and were shocked.
"An 'F'?!" they said in unision.
"Yep, another 'F' for both of you. And I must say I expected you to at least make an effort to learn in my class."
"Oh come on Mr. Pickles," Dash whined.
"Yeah, show a little mercy," Brad agreed.
"That's all I've been showing," Lou said. "But apparently I've shown too much. This is your last chance. If you two don't shape up on this paper on the Korean War, I'm gonna have to ship you out to summer school!"
"Summer school!" they say in unison and horror.
"No! Not that!" Brad cried.
"Please anything but school in the summer," Dash sobbed.
"Then if you want to stay on the football team and out of summer school, you better hit the books and have a good paper on my desk by Friday. Got it?"
The boys nodded solemnly.
"Good, now you can go," Lou said. The boys then left the classroom.
Not long after, Tony was taking the time to show Charity around the school. They soon arrived at the Chill Room, and Tony put his fingers on the fingerprint recognition system, which scanned them and after a few seconds, said "ACCESS GRANTED, Anthony Clark."
"Wait 'til you see this," Tony said as the door opened to show the Chill Room. Charity was amazed by the video games, the TVs, the game tables, the computers, the snack bar, and everything else inside.
"Wow," Charity exclaimed in awe. "My old school never had a 'Chill Room'!"
"That's because no school ever has one," Daryl said as he and the others came up to the two. "You're the girl I saw Tony with last night. The name's–"
"Daryl Lente," Tony interrupted. "My EnSoul and adopted bro."
"It's an honor to meet such a legendary and powerful EnSoul," Charity said as he shook hands with Daryl.
"Thanks," Daryl said.
"And these are, Jimmy Neutron…"
"Hello," Jimmy said.
"Timmy Turner…"
"Hi there," Timmy greeted.
"Danny Fenton aka, Danny Phantom…"
"Hi," Danny greeted her.
"Jake Long, the American Dragon…"
"What up, girl?" Jake rapped.
"Juniper Lee, the Te Xuan Ze…"
"Hi," June said.
"Lilo Pelekai and her alien dog, Stitch,"
"Hiya," Lilo greeted.
"Ha-ha-hi," Stich greeted in his usual manner.
"Tommy Pickles…"
"Wazzup!" Tommy said.
"The PowerPuff Girls, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup…"
"Hello," they greeted in unison.
"Ash Ketchum…"
"Hey there," Ash greeted.
"Bart Simpson,"
"How's it goin'," Bart said.
"And Mac and his Imaginary friend Bloo"
"Hey," Mac said.
"I remember him," Charity said, pointing at Bloo. "He's the little guy last night from the club."
"Yep," Bloo said. "And you never answered any of my–"
Suddenly, Tony got in his face and said, "You annoy her again, I'll peel you like a grape."
Bloo nodded and backed off.
"Well it's nice to meet you all," Charity told them. "I'm Charity Azkael, just moved her from New York City, although I'm a Shadow Human, I'm still starting training my dark abilities. Plus, I have little experience in making friends.
"Well I think you just made your first friends here," Tommy said with the others agreeing.
Suddenly before anyone else can react a giant man grabbed Tony and carried him out of the Chill Room.
"Hey, put him down," Danny shouted as he, Charity and the rest of the gang raced after the man. In the hallways they saw the man still holding onto Tony and standing next to none other than…
"Penelope Lang?!" they all (except Charity) shouted.
"That's right, and a little advice to you: stay away from my boyfriend," she said to Charity, much to everyone's shock.
Needing an explanation for this, Buttercup quickly beats up the bodyguard, freeing Tony as he rejoins his friends.
"What's your problem?!" Buttercup, who had finished beating up the bodyguard, snapped at Penelope.
"Tony is my boyfriend," Penelope said.
"Tony, what's going on?" Charity said.
"Well, I sort found her necklace for her as I was leaving the House of Mouse, some paparazzi got some pics of us together and, well, now everybody thinks we're a couple," Tony explained. "But I have no such interest in her."
"Well, you hear that?" Jake said to Penelope. "He doesn't want you."
"Don't care, I want him," Penelope said. "And what I want, I get."
"Who do you think you are?" Charity snapped at Penelope.
"And your that new exchange student…uh, what your name again?"
"Charity."
"Well Charity, why don't you live up to your name and bring me a decaf cappuccino. Oh, and maybe a low-fat for yourself."
Offended, Charity lunged at Penelope, looking to kick her butt, but was held back by Tony and the gang.
"Walk away, Charity, just walk away," Daryl told her as they and everyone else, sans Tony, walked away.
In the library, Dash and Brad are just sitting with the books, trying to find something for their report. But as always, they can't concentrate on reading them.
"I can't read these boring books any longer!" Dash shouted in agony, but the librarian, Ms. Marpole, hushed them in anger.
"Do we have any other choice? It's this or no football and hello summer school," Brad reminded him.
"Well come on, man," Dash said. "There's gotta be an easier way to get a good grade here."
Just then they heard Jimmy speaking with fellow nerds, Baljeet Tjinder and Sheldon Lee.
"A report on the Korean War," Baljeet said. "Snazzy."
"Well what are you gonna do?" Sheldon asked Jimmy
"This time I'm intending to write my paper on the events preceding, during, and following the Bodo League massacre," Jimmy stated.
"This time?" they both asked.
"Yeah, I wrote several good papers on the Korean War back in the day. I keep them where I put all of my school papers after grading: in my private archives on my computer."
Upon hearing this, Brad and Dash grinned sinisterly.
"You thinking what I'm thinking," Brad asked.
"Yeah," Dash answered and they both chuckled. "Nerdtron's about to get us an easy 'A' on these papers and he doesn't even know it!"
At the gang's lockers in the hallways, Tony is pacing back and forth, now panicking over the thought being Penelope's boyfriend.
"What am I going to do?! I only knew her when I recovered her necklace and now, everyone thought I'm her boyfriend," Tony said.
"Hey, being a boyfriend to the richest student in ToonSchool, second to Princess, does have it's advantages," Bloo said.
"Oh yeah?" Tony said in sarcasm. "Name one thing I like about it ever since we encountered her outside of the Chill Room."
Hearing this, Bloo and his friends starts to reminince Tony's experience.
Flashback: Tony walks outside his classroom and stand waiting for a moment. Suddenly, Penelope jumps in his arms and kisses him on the cheek, as a photographer she hired snaps their picture, much to his shock and disgust.
Daily Toon News
"LOVE OBSESSED!"
Tony is then reading his math book outside, when Penelope suddenly shoves it out of his hands, sits in his lap and puts his arms around him nuch to his annoyance as the photographer appears and snaps another photo of the two.
Toon Press
"CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HER!"
In the cafeteria, the gang is eating lunch together. Tony is eating spaghetti, but is then startled when Penelope appears and starts eating his food as well. They end start to eat the same noodle, ala "Lady and the Tramp." The photographer snaps another photo.
Toon Inquirer
"PARIS-STYLE LOVE!"
After remembering them, Bloo sighs in defeat and said, "You make a very good point. I give up on the positive sides."
Tony then hits his head on the locker in dismay as his EnSoul comforted him.
"Look, we don't like her being your girlfriend, too," Daryl said. "And I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need to find a way to get rid of Penelope."
"Ooh, ooh! I got some, in my "3 Ways to Get Rid of your Fake Girlfriend, Penelope"!" Timmy said as he pulls out a paper from his pocket in excitement.
"You made a list after a few hours?" Jimmy asked in suspicion.
"Hey, I have lots to do other than studying," Timmy protested. "Number 1: "Let WOOHP arrest her for a fake crime"."
Hearing this, Tony then remarked in sarcasm, "Yeah, like that's a great idea."
Imagination: Penelope is being carried away in handcuffs by WOOHP agents.
"No!" she screamed. "I was framed! I didn't do it! I don't even know what I did! Tony, help me!"
The photographer then stops in front of them and she poses as he takes a picture.
"Right, NOT the best idea," Timmy said. "Well how about Number 2: "Flee to Mexico"? My dog Sparky can get you a passport and knows a guy who can set you up with some living quarters ASAP."
"No way," Danny said. "Tony would never leave us like that."
"Yeah," Tony agreed. "And to top it off, I don't speak Spanish."
"Then maybe Number 3: "Fake your Death"," Timmy suggested.
"Absolutely not," Tony said. "Everyone would be devastated if I did that, especially my family. I can't do that to them."
"And besides," Lilo added. "I read that faking your death is illegal."
"Then I guess the last resort, Number Four: "Get Surgery to Turn Yourself into A Girl"," Timmy said. Everyone stood looking awkwardly and somewhat disgusted at Timmy.
"I'm not even going to name any of the countless things that are wrong with that idea," Tony said.
However, Daryl got an idea as he asks to his friends. "Wait a minute, what boy did Penolope dislike to them?"
"Well according to my calculations," Jimmy said. "Girls like her dislike ultra-nerdy boys."
"You mean boys, who wear wide-frame glasses and braces, obsess over math, pick their nose and have other unusual habits?" Buttercup asked.
"Precisely."
"Although that's the obvious dislike for a snobby rich girl like Penelope, why did you ask that question?" Timmy asked in suspicion.
"Because of what my Master told me," Daryl explained. "Not only I need obvious details, but specific ones to make her crack. That way, she'll make sure not only stop her charade, but to leave us alone for good. I just hope she won't outsmart us."
"You worrying too much, Daryl! In fact, that's a great idea!" Bloo said. "Lang will be too stupid to fell for it!"
"I hope so," Danny said. "But there's one problem: Tony looks nothing like a nerd."
"Not a problem," Jimmy said. "I know some guys who'll fix him up with a makeover in no time."
"Who?" Tony asked.
"You'll see. Come on."
Jimmy grabbed Tony's arm and pulled him along to where he'd get his makeover.
"Come on, nerd, hurry up," Dash said. He and Brad were in the computer lab with school nerd Dexter, whom they had intimidated into helping them hack into Jimmy's archives and steal his papers.
"I'm going as fast as I can," Dexter said, afraid. "But Jimmy's got a triple ultra-firewall on this."
"Then break it down," Brad said. "Before we break you!"
Dexter then started typing faster and faster, not stopping until finally, he'd broken down the firewall and accessed the archives.
"I'm in," he said exhausted.
"Good, now move geek," Dash said shoving Dexter out of his seat. He and Brad then surfed through the archives, until they came across several papers of the Korean War.
"Jackpot!" they said in unision as they picked out and printed a paper each. They then exited the lab with the pilfered copies of two of Jimmy's old papers and big grins on their faces.
"Thank you Nerd-tron," Dash said.
"No summer school for us," Brad agreed.
Later that day, at Krusty Towers, Penelope had arrived with her bodyguard and photographer, the former of whom rung the door bell. Daryl then answered the door.
"Ah, Ms. Lang, welcome to me and Tony's humble abode," he said. Penelope looked around and was surprisingly impressed.
"Wow, this place is fantastic," Penelope said. "I must say I was surprised to get Tony's invite, especially since he's been avoiding me for all day."
"Well, you really won him over," Ash, who was sitting on the couch. said. "He figures now it's time to show you the side of him no one ever sees."
"Yeah the side of him that emerges when he gets home," Daryl said.
"Good, Karl, get lots of pics," Penelope said. Karl started taking pics of the apartment.
"Of me, idiot," Penelope snapped. Karl then turned and started taking pics of her.
"First up is our living room, which we always watch TV, play video games, and stuff," Daryl said as he directs them to the mentioned room. "Next is our swirly slide, watch your step."
When they climbed up through the stairs near the swirly slide, Daryl directs them to his room as he says, "That's my room, yeah I like dark stuff, especially at night."
Then Ash notices some familiar merchendise on the floor and asks, "Then is that Shadow Ku-"
"Can we please continue to our main room, please?!"
Daryl then drags Ash out from his room by holding his ear, much to the latter's pain.
"And this is Tony's room," Daryl said as he opened the door. Penelope was shocked to see that it was filled with nerdy action figures, sci-fi movie posters, and even an alien bedspread with matching sheets.
"THIS is Tony's room?" Penelope said in disbelief.
"Tony, where are you?" Daryl asked.
"Bathroom," Tony's voice said.
"He's really fanatical about his appearance."
A few minutes later, Tony emerged from the bathroom, having drastically changed. He wore plain brown loafers, socks stretched up his legs as far as they could go, pants held up with suspenders and plaid shirt, fake braces and wide framed glasses.
"Hi, Penelope," Tony said in a nasally voice.
"Tony?" Penelope gasped. "You have got to be kidding me!"
Tony then started acting like he was gonna cry as he sobbed, "I knew she wouldn't understand!"
As Tony sobbed, Daryl glared at Penelope.
"Great, you hurt his feelings," he said.
Then he approaches his brother as he pulls out something from his pocket.
"Come on Tony," as he rang some bells that he'd pulled out of his pocket. "Come and hear the nice bells."
Tony seemed to calm down a little, as Ash turned to Penelope and said, "You really should apologize."
"I'm…sorry?" Penelope said awkwardly. Tony, now, totally calmed walks over and gives her a hug.
"Thanks Pen-Pen," he said. "You the first girl to have brought out the real me."
Tony then sneezed into his hands, accidentally spraying Penelope in the process.
"Eww," she said, grossed out as the photographer kept taking pics.
"I need a tissue," Tony said as he wiped his nose on his sleeve. Daryl hand Penelope a box of them. She took one and started wiping the spittle of her arm.
"Uh, I put my used tissues in that box," Tony said, at which Penelope grimaced at, throwing the tissue away.
Then just as the boys' plan is working, Ash's mother, Delia came in as she shouts, "Ash!"
"Oh no," Ash groaned in dismay.
"Ash, you're supposed to buy some groceries from the supermarket and-"
She stopped to see Tony's appearance.
"Tony, what happened to you?!"
"Oh, hi Ms. Ketchum," Tony said, trying to stay in character.
"Why are you–"
"This is Penelope Lang," Ash interrupted his mother. "Tony decided to reveal his true self to her, no matter how terrible the publicity would be for him or anyone connected to him."
Realizing what's happening, Delia gives a small grin.
"I see, well I guess I'll go get those groceries myself then," she said as she left.
"Well I get every has their secret and real selves," Penelope said. "If you could see me at first thing in the morning you would freak."
"I think I freak now," Daryl said smugly which earned a glare from Penelope.
"Hey, if you could love for me, I think everyone else can too," Tony said.
"Wow T, haven't you this happy since you became a tenth-level Gordainian," Ash said as he held up a picture of Tony in an alien costume, which utterly shocked Penelope, her bodyguard, and her photographer to the core.
"And what's better is–," Daryl started to say, but when they looked up, Penelope, her bodyguard, and her photographer were gone.
"All right, we did it," Tony said as he hi-fived Daryl and Ash.
Back at school, the gang laughed in the Chill Room after hearing what happened in the Krusty Towers.
"And she actually bought all of that?" Buttercup said in disbelief.
"Yep," Daryl answered. "And when she saw that picture of Tony, she freaked and ran off."
"Wow, you guys did even better than I thought," Bart said.
"I just wish I could have gotten it all on camera," Tommy said.
Then overhearing at the gang's conversation, Charity asks to the gang, "Wait, so you you guys stopped her bogus rumors?"
"Yup! I'm glad I'll never see her again," Tony said in relief.
Just as he said those words, however, Penelope's bodyguard suddenly appeared, picked him up, and carried him out of the Chill Room again.
"Hey!" Daryl shouted as he, Charity and the gang chased after him and ran straight into–Penelope with Karl taking pictures as usula.
"Hey there, Tony-Wony," she said. "You can put him down now, Terry."
"Oh–no," the gang said in disbelief as Terry put Tony down.
"Karl posted the pics he took at your house online, and the fan sites are on fire!"
"Say wha?" Tony asked in fear.
"PENELOPE BRINGS OUT THE REAL YO-YO BOY!" she said as she took Tony's phone, looked up the pics of her with the "real" Tony online and showed them to the gang.
Just then her own phone rang, and she answered it to find the editor of one of the tabloids on the other line.
"No, I told you my romance with Tony is supposed to be private," she said as she walked away with Karl and Terry, while the gang stood looking on in shock. Charity screamed loudly in frustration of the colossal failure of the plan.
"I DO NOT believe this," he shouted as he and the rest continued to look at the pics in utter embarrassment.
A/N: Uh-oh, the gang's plan to drive Penelope away has backfired! Now what will they do? Stick around to find out. And as always, read and review!
