A/N: ToonSchool's first season has just two episodes left! Here's the next one. So read it and weep…or laugh, whichever you choose.
Plot: After seeing their friend Sheldon in a funk over the prospect of losing his robotics blog on the school website, Tony and the gang encourage him to retool it to focus on what goes on in the lives of the student body. However, after uncovering some footage of Jenny helping June with a zit problem, Bloo encourages him to post it instead. It soon becomes a viral hit, prompting them to start a tabloid-like web show where they catch students at their most embarrassing moments and expose some of their deepest secrets. While they and their show become massive online hits, they also alienate their friends (who end up as recurring victims on the show), who soon become determined to bring them down no matter what.
Meanwhile, Bubbles and Lilo discover the popular online shopping site CloudStore, and quickly become addicted to shopping from it, forcing an eventual intervention from the gang.
Embarrassin' Bloggin': Part 1
It was another regular day at ToonSchool, the best school for toons. In the cafeteria, most the ToonSchool gang was eating their lunch with Jenny Wakeman, and the Carbunkle brothers, Brad and Tuck, when Bubbles and Lilo came running up carrying new machine.
"Hey, guys, check out what we got here!," Bubbles said excitedly.
"What's that you got there, ladies?," Tony asked.
"Probably another useless and pointless gadget if you ask me," Buttercup replied.
"Well, you know how the Kids' Choice Awards have all that slime?," Lilo asked.
"Of course, who wouldn't know that?," Daryl replied. "Why?"
"Well, this is the world's most compact Slime Making machine! Check it!"
Bubbles then pressed a button on the side of the machine and green slime shot out of the hole of the machine covering everyone and their food in slime. Blossom then turned the machine off.
"Well, at least it works," she said.
"It totally slimed us," Tommy said.
"And our food too," Jake added.
"Oh, but don't eat the slime!," Bubbles said.
"And why shouldn't we eat the slime?," Brad asked suspiciously.
"Because the instruction manual says unlike the KCA slime, this slime is toxic and can cause internal bleeding."
Upon hearing this, everyone pushed their slime covered food to the side.
"I think I just lost my appetite," Danny said uneasily.
"Me too," Jimmy agreed.
"Me three," Mac added.
"So why and where did you buy a machine that poisons everyone's lunches?," Jenny asked.
"From that new online shopping site, CloudStore," Lilo said as she and Bubbles pulled out catalogs of the store. "There's all kinds of cool stuff you can buy there."
"Yeah, like a universal RC remote, or dice washers, or all-purpose crayons for drawing!," Bubbles giggled. "Cool, right?"
"Yeah…," everyone said. Just then, Sheldon Lee approaches, looking very upset about something.
"Hey guys…what's with all the slime?," he said.
"Lilo and Bubbles' new slime machine," Tuck said. "Don't eat it though."
"Hey, Sheldon," Tony said, before noticing his bad mood. "What's wrong?"
"It's the guys in charge of the school website, ToonZoom," Sheldon replied. "My robotics blog has become a dud to them. If I don't find something fresh and interesting to post that the student body will in enjoy, they're gonna discontinue my blog."
"That bites!," June said. "Why are they killing your blog?"
"Apparently my instructing on robots and my ramblings about my love for Jenny aren't appealing to the student body."
"And I can see why," Jenny said.
"What you need is to add something fresh and new to the blog," June suggested.
"Yeah, something hip and cool, man. You do that and your blog will bounce back in no time!," Bart put in.
"But what?," Sheldon asked.
"Why not report on what the students do in their daily lives here?," Tony suggested.
"Yeah, there's plenty of students coming and going through this school every day," Daryl said.
"And some of their lives can be pretty exciting," Jenny added.
"Like yours, right Jenny?," Brad said.
"Um…yeah I guess."
"And I'll help you out," Bloo said.
"You? You rarely help anyone out but yourself, Bloo," Ash pointed out.
"Yeah, but he needs me, considering 'cool' is my middle name."
Everyone looked awkwardly at him, as Ash said. "Right, whatever you say, Bloo."
Later, in the room where ToonZoom was managed, Bloo and Sheldon arrived and got on a computer.
"I got the footage!," Sheldon exclaimed. "If it's any good, I can convince the ToonZone editors to let me keep my blog on the site!"
"Well, let's see what you have," Bloo said. Sheldon entered the disc into the computer and footage of an interview with Gaz Membrane came up.
"Hello," Gaz said on the screen. "I'm Gaz Membrane, but you already knew that."
"Now, Gaz," the voice of Sheldon said on-camera. "I understand you collect something."
"Yes."
"And what is that thing?"
"I collect the skulls of dead animals?"
"Uuuuugh, that's kinda creepy dude," Bloo said. Sheldon shushed him as the interview continued.
"Like what kind of animals?," the on-camera voice of Sheldon said.
"Animals such as dogs…," she said as he held up a dog's skull.
"Cats…," she said, holding a cat's skull.
"Rodents," she said holding up a squirrel's skull. Bloo was getting unnerved by the creepiness in the interview…until he noticed something in the background.
"Hey, hey," he said.
"What is it?," Sheldon asked, confused.
"Rewind the video, kill the sound, zoom in into the background and replay it," Bloo told him, pointing at what he saw. Sheldon did just that and saw what Bloo had seen: June was with Jenny, who was using her body's shiny, reflective surface to look at her face as she squeezed on a part of it.
"Check it out, June's squeezing on a pimple, a zit. And Jenny's helping her, too. Now that's what the students here wanna watch! Kids caught on camera! Put that on your blog if you want it to be hot and popular!"
"Uh, I don't know, Bloo," Sheldon said uneasily. "I mean, it's Jenny helping June pop a pimple. Putting it in that kind of context is kind of mean."
"It's kinda news! Come on, Shel, you wanna be a loser the rest of your life?," Bloo asked.
"I'm not a loser now, Bloo!"
"Riiiiight, what was I thinkin'?," Bloo said as Sheldon thought about this uneasily.
Sometime later, in the halls, students had gathered those with laptops everywhere, watching Sheldon's blog's newest entry, with him and Bloo providing commentary.
"Now here's the girls. So just wait for it…wait…wait…," Sheldon said in the video in the moments leading up to the squeezing part.
"And…there it is! The squeezing!," Bloo added in the video. "Let this be the message folks, puberty is not pretty."
The students watching laughed at what they'd seen, finding it very hilarious. Meanwhile, Danny and Ash were walking down in the halls, when Bubbles and Lilo called to them, "Hey, Danny, Ash! Come here!"
"Hey girls, what's up?," Danny said as they both approached.
"We want to show you what we got!," Bubbles said.
"What is it?," Ash asked.
"Just come towards us and you'll see," Lilo said.
"Okaaay…"
The two boys walked towards them for a bit and then stopped.
"Come closer."
They walked closer.
"Closer."
They walked even closer.
"Closer!"
They walked as close as they could when suddenly…
"BACK OFF! BACK OFF! YOU HAVE COME TO CLOSE TO THIS PERSON!," electronic voices said as an alarm sounded, causing the boys it attracting the attention of everyone in the hall to the four.
"Hey, we didn't do anything!," Danny said to the people gathering around. "Can you kill those please?"
Bubbles and Lilo then deactivated the alarms, and the crowd began to disperse.
"Check out our Security Alarm Bracelets," Bubbles said as they showed them bracelets that were shaped like police badges.
"From CloudStore?," Ash asked.
"Yep! And they came with these Ultra-Bright Flashlights!," Lilo said as she shined a light in the boys' eyes.
"AAAHHH! Whoa, that's bright!," Danny said, temporary blinded. "Don't you guys think you two are buying too much stuff from CloudStore?"
"No way, we can stop whenever we want to. By the way can we borrow some lunch money?"
"Sure, how much do you need?," Ash asked.
"$39.95 plus tax," Bubbles replied, causing the two boys to stare at her and Lilo.
Meanwhile, Sheldon and Bloo trudged through the hall, arguing about something, when Yin and Yang almost bumped into them.
"Hey Sheldon, Bloo," Yang said. "Great stuff on the ToonZone."
"Yeah, that footage of June and Jenny was top-notch stuff man," Yin added.
"Wait…you liked our pimple post?!," Sheldon exclaimed with glee.
"Wicked!," the two rabbits said together.
"Thanks."
"Hey dudes, funny stuff on on the ToonZone," said Corey Riffin as he passed by.
"You liked it?"
"Loved, bro!"
"See, what did I tell you?," Bloo said to an ecstatic Sheldon. Just then, a group of older kids (two boys and a girl) approached them.
"Sheldon, over here," the first boy said. Sheldon and Bloo approach them with the former looking uneasy.
"Listen guys, if this is about the new post on my blog, I–," he started to say.
"Relax, Sheldon," the first boy said.
"We're not kicking you off the ToonZone," the girl said.
"You're not?!," Sheldon exclaimed.
"Nope, that video of June and Jenny you posted: over 100,000 views…and counting!," the second boy said.
"100,000?!"
"Mmm-hmm. You keep posting stuff like that, you can stay on the ToonZone for as long as you want."
"And your friend here can be your partner," the girl said.
"And you can use the junior members to assist you in your pursuit for juiciness if you want," the first boy said.
"The ToonZone Padawans?!," Sheldon exclaimed.
"Yep. Well we gotta go. Can't wait for the next post, fellas!"
The three kids took their leave as Sheldon and Bloo celebrated. As they did, Ben and Gwen Tennyson, Lisa Simpson, and Dennis Jackson approached.
"So it's you two who posted that pimple-pop vid?," Ben said. "Totally rad, guys!,"
"Thanks, I'm glad you guys like it," Sheldon said.
"I don't. I think that was just mean," Gwen said.
"And exploitive too. The kind of thing that tabloid writers do all the time," Lisa added.
"Oh, come on you guys, quit raining on our parade. Thanks to that video, Sheldon and I are a hit!"
"Yeah," Sheldon agreed. But just then…
"SHELDON/BLOO!," two very angry voices rang out. Everyone looked over to see June and Jenny with fierce, furious glares directed right at the two.
"Yeah, and y'all about to get hit," Dennis said. Sheldon and Bloo shrieked and ran for the door at the end of the hallway, but June got there and shut it just as Sheldon opened it, while Jenny came up behind, blocking their escape.
"Uh, hey Jenny, June. What's up," Sheldon said sheepishly as the two girls continued to glare at him and Bloo angrily.
"Hey, ladies, still rocking that chin zit?," Dennis asked, at which the girls moved to punch him, causing him to back of and say, "Hey, hey, you hit me, I'll sue you for all you got!"
The girls sighed as they turned back to the boys.
"I can't believe you posted that video online of me playing with my zit," June groaned.
"And me helping her!," Jenny added.
"Well, you and the guys said to make the blog about the students and what goes on in their lives," Sheldon said.
"But not what grows on my face!," June said.
"Oh, come on, it's got 100,00 views and counting! It's real hot!," Bloo pleaded with them trying to make them understand.
"Look, we said to get footage of the students of what goes on in their lives, not embarrass and degrade them like a tabloid!"
"Yeah, I mean, seriously Sheldon, does being popular mean that much to you?," Jenny asked. Sheldon and Bloo glanced at each other on this.
Later, on the ToonZone website, a new web-show was streaming as the gang was watching.
"Welcome to Toonarazzi!, the hottest new ToonSchool student-run gossip web-show on the Internet!"
"Where there's conflict…"
"Where's there's controversy…"
"Where there's just plain juicy craziness…"
"You can find it here on Toonarazzi! Starring Sheldon O. Lee…"
"And Blooregard Q. Kazoo!"
The gang and several other students, who were in the Chill Room reacted with disgust at what Sheldon and Bloo were doing as the show continued.
"Coming up, an update on the pimple-popping pals. Juniper Lee's pimple: Shrinking…or growing?," Bloo said as a photo of June came on screen. Timmy reached out to touch it, only to have his hand slapped away by June.
"Don't touch it!," she snapped.
"Also, do Tony Clark and Darrell Jackson share a chocolate addiction?," Sheldon said as a photo of the two with a giant chocolate bar together flashed on screen.
"Does Gaz Membrane collect the skulls of dead animals? Maybe…"
At this, the gang and others nodded their heads, knowing that that was most likely true.
"Also, is it Splitsville for Bart Simpson and Dionne Jackson?"
"All this, and much more coming up on Toonarazzi! Starring Sheldon O. Lee…"
"And Blooregard Q. Kazoo!"
Tony paused the feed, as he snapped, "I'm gonna kill'em!"
"Not if I get them first!," Buttercup agreed.
"And Bart and me are not Splitsville!," Dionne Jackson said.
"Well…," Bart said seemingly uneasily.
"Bart!"
"Kidding, Di. I'm kidding."
"And me and Darrell are not addicted to chocolate," Tony said.
"We eat a moderate amount everyday!," Darrell pointed out.
"Let's go find them and settle this right now," Daryl said, as everyone grabbed their things and left, save for Bubbles and Lilo, who were still reading their CloudStore catalog.
"Bubbles, Lilo, you guys coming?,"
"Naki Bibba," Stitch asked.
"We'll catch up," Lilo said. "We just need to-whoa, look! Inflatable Pajamas!"
"I'm on it," Bubbles said with glee as she took out the phone and dialed CloudStore. Stitch and everyone simply groaned and left without them.
Elsewhere, in the ToonZone website room, Bloo and Sheldon were taping their live-feed web-show with a mass of senior and junior members with them.
"Okay, so what do we got for today in gossip, fellas?," Bloo asked.
"Hey, we got Bubbles and Lilo with another CloudStore order!," one junior member said.
"Wait, isn't that their seventh order this week?," Sheldon asked.
"Eighth, actually. Check it!," the boy said as the footage appeared on a TV screen:
"Where is the Flubber Ball? We ordered it along with the Moonwalk Boots?!," Bubbles whined.
"It was supposed to come by lunch! Aw, man! And what about the Chameleon Costume it was- hey what are you doing tapping this?," Lilo said, nothing the camera.
"It's for Toonarazzi," an off-screen voice said.
"Well go away, we have no comment," Bubbles said as she and Lilo signed for their stuff to the delivery guy, and stormed away.
"Man, those two have a prob-blem!," Bloo said as Sheldon wrote this info on a markerboard.
"And I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that blonde is not Bubbles' natural hair color," Sheldon said, generating some laughs. "Anything else, anyone?"
"Well, work has it that Ben Tennyson and Dash Parr are secretly running hallway races in-between classes and-," a senior female member said. But just then the ToonSchool gang, and a group of other students stormed into the room.
"Hey, snotbrains!," Tuck growled.
"Darrell and me are not addicted to chocolate!," Tony said.
"Uh, guys what are you doing? We're in the middle of taping our show!," Sheldon said.
"And Bart and I are not Splitsville!," Dionne snarled.
"Well, we…," Bart said.
"What's that?!"
"Kidding again, Di."
"Hey camera guys, are you getting this? This is some great stuff we got here!," Bloo said.
"Sheldon, Bloo! You keep this up, you're not gonna have any friends left if you keep exploiting us for your stupid blog!," Jenny snapped.
"Okay, looks like we got Jenny…having a major…machine…meltdown," Bloo said as he wrote the stuff down on notes.
"Is he serious right now?," June said in astonishment.
"Okay, this is ridiculous!," Brad snapped. As a result, the gang and the other students had engaged in a loud, overlapping argument match with Sheldon and Bloo, which went on for several minutes.
"STOP!," Tony shouted at the top of his voice, silencing the fight. He then turned back to Sheldon and Bloo as he said, "This is your last chance, guys. Are you gonna stop this Toonarazzi thing or not!"
Sheldon and Bloo glanced at each other again.
Later, at Krusty Towers Apartment 7K, Tony and Daryl watched with disgust at Sheldon and Bloo's decision to continue their web-show.
"Coming up on Toonarazzi, Yo-Yo Boy, his shadow counterpart, and multiple students caught on a psychotic rampage in the ToonZone room!," Sheldon said as slowed-down footage played of the gang and others yelling and screaming in a reddened backdrop.
"Is anyone safe anymore?," Bloo said at the end, as Tony and Daryl continued to watch and growl in both disgust and anger.
A/N: Whoa, Bloo and Sheldon have taken this tabloid reporting way too far! Will the others be able stop them? Will Bubbles and Lilo overcome their CloudStore addiction? And is it just me or is Gaz even creepier than before? Find out on Part 2, coming soon!
