I do not own any of the characters except for Arabella.

~Arabella's POV~

I watching the boys play basketball game. It looks like Milton was blocking the other player on the other team but it was unsuccessful and the guy got a perfect shot. "Time-out, guys. Come on, time-out. Time-out." I hear Jack said. I was listening into the conversation.

"All right, the good news is we've already got our highest score of the year."

"That's right... nine!" Kim cheered and the others cheered as well.

"We got time for one more shot. What do you say we go out with style?" Jack suggested.

"Oh, yeah, yeah." Jerry agreed getting pumped up.

"Yeah, just not to trip on Eddie's shoelaces for the last time, Jerry." I snickered at him. Jerry groaned and tick his teeth.

"That won't happen again." Jerry assured, "Give me the ball. I'm feeling it, man! Woo!"

"You haven't scored in five games." Eddie pointed out.

"Do not give me the ball. I'm not feeling it, man!" Jerry corrected himself as he was changing his mind.

"Well, I can't take it. I've had four guys covering me all game." Jack said. "And one of them is Jerry."

"No one's guarding me. I wanted to be part of something." Jerry stated.

"I don't want that germ-infested ball. Did you see what number 11 was scratching before he shot his last free throw?" Milton said.

"No, but I'm concerned for you." I said.

"Well, I guess it's time for me to pull out some of the old Globetrotter magic." Eddie stood up, throwing an invisible ball into the hoop.

"That's great. You're going to do some of your uncle's moves?" Jack asked hopefully.

"Who's his uncle?" I asked.

"Only Big Easy." Eddie said proudly, "One of the biggest stars of the Harlem Globetrotters."

"Are you kidding? I love those guys." Kim smiled excitedly.

"All right, all right, it's settled." Jerry said, "Eddie's getting the ball and I'll cover Jack. Woo!"

"Eddie, remember." Jack said as they spread out to the court. "Let's go out with style."

"Style, my man." Jerry cheered, "Let's get it, woo!"

Jack passed Eddie the ball and he dribbled it towards the goal. But he end up missing the throw and the ball end up hitting the fire alarm. "Okay, everybody, remain calm. There will be no panic. No run... oh!" Milton yelled but he was interrupted when Marge knocked him over while running out of the gym.

"Too much style?" Eddie asked awkwardly.

"Are you kidding me?" Jack laughed, "Now that's how you lose a basketball game!"

Don't you get all tough with me, I'm saying won't you come kick it with me? and we can have a ball, run up the wall, this is how we do, and no matter how much, I chop and punch, it's not as cool as kickin' it with you.

Here we go, let's start the party, chop it up like it's karate.

everybody, don't you get all tough with me, I'm saying won't you come kick it with me? and we can have a ball, run up the wall, this is how we do, and no matter how much I chop and punch, it's not as cool as kickin' it with you.

I walking up to Kim, Jerry, and Eddie with a lunch box, just as Marge spooned in some brown gunk into Jerry, "Uh...Is this brown stuff pudding or gravy?" He asked.

"Yes." Marge answered.

"Hey, great game, dude." Jack cheered as Eddie came up to us.

"Yeah, what's up, man?" Jerry added with same enthusiasm.

"What can I say? I'm a showman like Big Easy." Eddie said proudly.

"Big Easy of the Harlem Globetrotters?" Marge asked him.

"Yeah, he's Eddie's uncle." Kim replied.

"Woo! That man's got a thing for me." Marge said while grinning as we all look at each other with a disturbed looks.

"Really?" Eddie asked in disbelief.

"I went to a game two years ago. And for some reason out of all the women in the stands, he spotted me." Marge said as she had a dreamy look on her face, "

That was one magical night. Oh he asked me to be his girlfriend, but I just couldn't just pick up and travel the world with him, I told him I have a career."

"But, Marge, you're a..." I trailed off but Marge interrupted me, "I didn't say it was a good career."

As she signal us to go to an empty table, then I looked over to see Milton was just walked into the cafeteria.

"Guys, guys!" Milton shouted at us and ran over to the table, "I just heard the Principal say they're shutting down the Intramural Basketball Program

because the school's out of money.

"What?" The boys exclaimed at same time, "I can't believe it." Jack continued.

"Please. This school's been hurting for money for a long time." Kim scoffed, "They're renting half the cafeteria to the senior citizens' center."

"Oh, that reminds me... it's Tango Tuesday." Jerry smirked and some tango music started to playing, as Jerry walked over to join the oldies dancing. "Harold, Harold, Harold...I got this, I got this." He shooed an old man away. "All right, Estelle, let daddy drive."

I watched in amazement, As Jerry was dancing with the old lady, then he drop her to floor.

"Yo, Harold, a little help." Jerry asked nervously.

...[̲̲̅̅(̲̅ ͡ ͜ʖ ̲̅͡)̲̲̅̅]

We were all watching Rudy perform a routine and he let out several "hiyah" before turning to us, "All right, your guys' turn."

"No "huas" for me." Eddie said walking over to Rudy, "Last time I did that, I pulled something in my bathing suit area."

"Look, if you guys are mad about losing your basketball program, then do something about it." Rudy said, "Why don't you come up with a

fundraiser? I'll be the first one to..." as he pull out his wallet,

"It's five thousand dollars." Kim informed him.

"Are you insane? I was gonna give you like three bucks." Rudy exclaimed, "Basketball is dead. Let it go." Closing his wallet then we walked over to the benches.

Rudy walked over to us, "All right, look, that's a lot of money.You just got to come up with a creative way to raise it."

"I'll be blunt you guys kinda did suck." I added to the conversation.

"Wow, Belle." Jack said looking at me with disbelief expression on his face.

"What, I ain't gonna lie about it, that's what I saw." I responded back.

"The debate team makes a lot of money selling those chocolate bars." Jerry suggested.

"Yeah, they do." Milton inhaled.

"You guys think we can sell enough chocolate to save our basketball program?" Jack asked skeptically.

"Of course we can! I'm a natural salesman and I'm going to help you guys." Rudy said in convincing tone.

I turned to look at Jack, "Why do I have a feeling he's gonna shout at us."

...[̲̲̅̅(̲̅ ͡ ͜ʖ ̲̅͡)̲̲̅̅]

~No One's POV~

The dojo has been transformed into the group chocolate bar HQ, and Rudy was going all in it. He was wearing a suit with his hair slip back, and there was a big chalkboard, where they would count the amount of bars they sold.

"You guys have been on the phone for two hours without a single sale." Rudy said angrily.

"Calm down, Rudy." Jack said.

"I will not calm down!" Rudy screamed slamming his hand on the table, "I need winners! All right?"

"Why is your hair all greasy?" Kim asked him.

"Uh, it's not grease, it's sell gel. All right?" Rudy scoffed bringing his hand over his hair. As he put his hand on the chalkboard and end up slipping off, he fell to the ground.

Eddie stood up from his seat, "Rudy, are you okay?"

"Of course he gets injured." Arabella muttered and sighing at this.

"Of course I am, Kim." Rudy yelled standing up, "Let's move some product!"

Jerry stood up and run over to ring the bell, "You got it." And Rudy got delighted, "See? See there? That's

what I'm talking about. Jerry's first on the big board.

He just sold a box of chocolate." He said proudly.

"Sold?" Jerry said confused "I thought you rang the bell every time you ate a box of chocolate." He showed them his brown teeth covered in chocolate.

"Get back to your phone!" Rudy yelled angrily, "What is wrong with you people? I bought thousands boxes

of candy for us to sell!"

"Question one, why did you bought so much?" Bella asked in confusion looking at the boxes and back to Rudy.

"We're doing the best we can, Rudy." Jack defended of them.

Rudy started to mock Jack. Milton looked at Rudy with a concerned look.

"Do you know what? I'm out of here." Jack snapped standing up and the others as well.

"No, no, wait wait, wait, guys. You can't quit." Rudy plead to them as they stopped, "Because you're fired! Now get!"

Bella shake her head at this, she and the others walked out the dojo doors.

... [̲̲̅̅(̲̅ ͡ ͜ʖ ̲̅͡)̲̲̅̅]

~Arabella's POV~

"I'm not happy about quitting, but Rudy was totally out of control." Jack said as we walked through the mall, "I mean, who limits people to 20-second bathroom breaks?"

"It takes me that long just to light the candles." Eddie said we looked at him weirdly, "I have to set the mood

for my shy bladder."

"I did not need to know that, Eddie."

"Whoa!" Milton suddenly exclaimed walked over to a poster, "Guys, look. The Harlem Globetrotters are coming into town." He picked up a flyer, to show us it. "Eddie, maybe your uncle could help us!"

"Yeah... maybe." Eddie said nervously.

"Dude, we could get the Trotters to do a fundraiser or something." Jerry suggested.

"We could have an exhibition game at our school and, we could raise enough money to save our basketball program." Kim continued with hopeful grin.

"That's perfect."

"That's a good idea."

"Whoa. That's it."

"Let me see this." Eddie grabbed the flyer, "Huh-uh, nope. See, this is exactly what I was afraid of. These are different Harlem Globetrotters. We should probably go eat, you know—"

"Eddie, Eddie, dude." Jack stopped him, "Come on,

man. That's your uncle Big Easy. Call him for us!"

"I can do that." Eddie said, "I'll meet you guys inside.

I'll call him right now."

We walked into Falafel Phil's as Eddie called his uncle. Jack slid into a booth and I slid down beside him and moved close to Jack as he put his arm around my shoulder. The other sat across from us.

"The Globetrotters are even having a trick shot competition at the Mall, and the winner gets to meet them." Jerry read the from flyer.

"That's so cool." Jack said sliding his arm from my shoulder to my hand underneath the table.

"That's so cool." Phil agreed walking to us lightly slapped the flyer a little, "The Globetrotters

think they're all that. They're not the only ones that

can spin things on their fingers. Check it, check it. One two-two."

Phil spin the tray on one finger and it was good, "Pretty good, Phil." Milton praised him.

"Yeah, I'm just warming up." Phil said, continues to spin it faster until he lost control and ended up from crashing into something in the kitchen.

"That's was something." I said in shock.

"Bad news, guys." Eddie said walking into the restaurant, and towards us, "My uncle must have changed his number. There's nothing I can do."

"Guys, there might be another way to get to him." Jack held up the flyer.

...[̲̲̅̅(̲̅ ͡ ͜ʖ ̲̅͡)̲̲̅̅]

"Welcome to the Globetrotter trick shot competition."

The crowd cheers.

"Next up we have Milton Krupnick! Who's going to do something he calls the Blind Whirling Dervish."

Milton who was blindfolded and started to spin around with the ball making weird noises before throwing the ball away and it resulted in a loud crash.

"Oh, he just broke the windshield on...That is my car!" The announcer glared at Milton and the three judges gave Milton zeros.

"Oh, guys, that was so close." Eddie said, "Hey, let's get out of here." He pointed to leave and jumped down trying to leave.

"Eddie, you're up." Kim informed the boy who was handed the basketball.

"Ooh, you got this." Jerry pepped him and we all did the same.

"I sure hope this goes in." Eddie said unenthusiastically, bouncing the ball a few times before throwing it to the top of hoop, "Oh well, I tried. Let's go." As the ball bounced around and end up falling into the hoop.

"Oh, oh! Congratulations. You just won the trick shot competition."

"Yes, Eddie, you did it!" Jack bounced up and down in excitement, "Because of you we're gonna meet the Harlem Globetrotters!"

...[̲̲̅̅(̲̅ ͡ ͜ʖ ̲̅͡)̲̲̅̅]

I was standing up the last touches on the welcoming sign for the Harlem Globetrotters on the chalkboard while the other watches. "Guys, I cannot believe

the Harlem Globetrotters, are actually coming to our dojo." Jack said excitedly.

"I know. I'm a little nervous." Kim admitted.

"Kim, Kim, Kim, they're just regular guys who happen to play basketball." Milton said wrapping his arm around her. "The worst thing you can do is wig out and..."

The Harlem Globetrotters entered the dojo and Milton gasped loudly, "Holy Christmas nuts, they're here!" He screamed while running over, jumping up and wrapping his legs around Big Easy.

"Milton, Milton, come on, get down." I said scolding him and I pulled him off the poor man, "You are embarrassing us."

"I'm sorry. I'm really excited." Milton apologized, "I saw you guys two years ago at the Civic Center."

"I remember you." One of the Globetrotters said, "You were that kid on the Jumbotron inhaling a macho nacho platter."

"Well, looked at that you are a celebrity, Milton." I said patting his shoulder.

"Excuse me." Milton said a little irritated when they continued to tease him, "I'll have you know I still have a jalapeño seed lodged in my septum."

"Aw, man, don't be like that, cheesy."

"Uncle Easy." Eddie said walking up to greet his uncle.

"Eddie, my man."

"Uncle Easy?"

"Yeah?"

"We were wondering if you guys would be willing to play an exhibition game, to raise money and help

save our basketball program." Eddie told him.

"You're family. We'd be glad to help." Big Easy said which caused the us to cheer.

"Just one problem. Who we gonna play."

Jerry cleared his throat and took a confident step forward, "You're looking at the team, man."

"Hey, can you guys show us a little

something?" Jack asked hopefully, "We have your music ready."

"You got it."

"Of course."

"Let's do this. Aha!"

The Globetrotters theme playing and they started to show us some moves, like spinning their fingers on the ball and on their head, that was impressive. And continued to show their moves. Then the music was turned off and it was Jerry.

"Yo, Globesters, I got a few moves of my own. Check it." Jerry said as put on techno music playing and started to dancing and we all join in.

...[̲̲̅̅(̲̅ ͡ ͜ʖ ̲̅͡)̲̲̅̅]

~No One's POV

To say that they were being crushed was an understatement. Without even trying too hard the Globetrotters managed to score all the time while the gang had received totally three points.

It certainly did not help that all of the Globetrotters were over six feet tall and could therefore hold up the ball in the air with no chance of the them reaching it.

"Hey, Easy!" Marge yelled at him from the crowd, "That's my boyfriend. Looking good, baby!"

And while the gang was having a team meeting Big Easy was being attacked by a hugging Marge. And when it was time for a break they ran out only to meet Phil and Rudy in the door way.

Phil was dressed in a purple suit and black hat that made him look like some weird magician. But Rudy looked even worse with green hair and a horrible tan that made him look like a carrot.

"Is that—-" Jack stated but Bella cut him off.

" Don't pay attention to it, we don't know them." Bella said.

...[̲̲̅̅(̲̅ ͡ ͜ʖ ̲̅͡)̲̲̅̅]

After the break, when Rudy and Phil had been forcefully removed by guards, they continued to get crushed. But Bella had finally had enough.

So the next time they passed her she somehow managed to take the ball and threw it across half the court only for it to hit nothing but net. The Globetrotters looked at her wide eye and she only wiped some imaginary dust from her shoulder in a smug manner.

Kim also managed to score a point when she faked an injury which lead to the Globetrotter letting his guard down.

"Time-out! Guys, come on, come on, come on!" Jack said gathering the team.

"Jack, why'd you call a time-out? There's only eight seconds left." Milton asked him.

"Look at the scoreboard. If we score one more basket,

we'll finally break double digits." Jack told them.

"Can you imagine getting our personal best against the Globetrotters?" Kim grinned.

"Give me the ball. I'm feeling it! I know I can make..." Jerry said excitedly.

"You're not getting the ball." Milton told him.

"That's a smart move, yeah." Jerry admitted.

"Let's go out with style." Eddie said, "Jack, time for the catapult."

Everyone agreed and went into position but Jack held Bella back for a second, "A kiss for good luck."

Bella kissed Jack on the cheek, "Good luck."

Milton threw the ball to Jack who ran forward using

Arabella and Jerry's arms as a catapult to jump up doing a flip in the air before throwing the ball.

But after a few spins in the hoop it looked like the ball was going to fall out so Eddie used him uncle's back as a trampoline, giving the ball a nudge so it fell into the goal and scored.

Everyone cheered and the gang hugged each other but the ball was short for one person because in the middle of the celebration one of the Globetrotters decided to pull down Jerry's gym shorts which ended with the boy angrily walking out of the gym.
