Chapter V: Friday Night Bites.
Lee's House 7:00 AM
Lee was looking at his bulletin board with all the pictures on it.
Anyone who has a computer, or at least one ear, has heard that I got a year of detention with my fried Naruto for the high school prank of the century. But we didn't do it! So now we have to break rules to prove we never broke any rules! Confusing, I know. I thought Irwin, the evil mathlete leader, was behind it all, and that he sent an email telling the skaters how to pull off the prank.
But his email just tried to make me look stupid 'cause of an old grudge. The prank email actually came from our old missing principal.
Ring-Ring!
He looked down at his phone charging showing his reflection as a picture of Brandy came up. "I don't know what's more confusing. Girls, or this whole prank mess."
City 11:03 PM.
It's Friday night! I should be at home. But, well, one thing sorta led to another, and now I'm here. Halfway across the city!
Lee who was running in the city stopped at an intersection where a don't walk sign was up. He starts repeatedly pressing the button to change it. "C'mon, change. In a hurry here!"
"I can't believe you fell asleep!"
Lee gasped turning to his left and saw both of his parents' in their car. His dad is balding with a beard and wearing glasses. He has on a blazer with a white button shirt under a sweater vest, and a red bow tie and dress pants.
"What did you expect? It was a production of Sleeping Beauty."
"Mom? Dad?" Lee asks getting their attention as they look out the window in the direction the sound came from. Lee takes refuge behind some newspaper dispensers before they can spot him. Soon, the light turns green, and they continue on their way. "If I don't beat my parents home, I'm grounded for life!"
Earlier that day… 3:10 PM
RRRRrriinnngg!
"Would the following students report to Room 113b: Brandy Silver and Kimmie McAdams."
Tina said over the intercom before Naruto walked to Lee and the others. "Happy Fruegengolfen."
Naruto blinked at Holger's greeting. "What he said, but I call it Friday." Camillio translated for him.
Holger nodded at that with a smile"Oh. Ja. And happy Friday too."
Camillio looked over at Holger blinking. "So what does Frue-gen-golf-ball mean?"
"Nothing. Holger pulls joke and makes up word! Funny, ja?" Holger asks before he and Cam bump fists.
"In other news, the Pythagoras math problem has been solved by A. Nigma's own Naruto Uzumaki," Tina spoke again as the three looked at the blonde.
"What?"
"Dude, how the hell did you figure that out?" Lee asks Naruto who shrugs before Tina continues.
"When asked how he came upon the answer Naruto said quote: '69… 69 is the best number there is so it only makes sense that it would be the answer to the hardest math problem ever' end quote." She finished with a deadpan tone.
Naruto smiled at that. "Sucks I can't get the money til I'm 18 as I'm under age even being emancipated. Hell, it's not even the full money due to BS taxes."
They all bump fists at that before Cam and Holger then bump butts and Camillio sends Holger flying. Holger uses his athleticism to turn his flight into a backflip and then flip again; unfortunately, this second flip ends with him landing crotch-first on a stairwell rail. "Fruegengolfen." Holger groans as he collapses.
Cam snickers at the sight and then punches Lee's shoulder. "Yo, dude, if Friday doesn't make you smile, that def should have. Whaddup, bro?"
"This whole prank email thing. It doesn't make sense. Why would our old missing principal send out emails telling people to pull pranks?"
"Obviously it's hacked to hide," Naruto replied slinging his backpack over his right shoulder. "I seriously doubt the old principal's hiding just to put us in a year's worth of detention."
"Ese, your brain is fried. Put the detective work on si-i-i-immer. We got a fiesta to go to bro." Cam said as Holger walked up, clutching his crotch.
"Lee's kissy friend Brandy is having super disco party time party." He stands up straight with great difficulty.
Camillio nodded at that. "You know, the kind we used to pretend weren't cool but we were secretly jealous of?"
"Holger, Brandy's not my 'kissy friend.' And guys, I'm grounded." Lee said to them.
"Dude, you gotta go! What if super-cool status has a shelf life? Plus, I heard Nadene's gonna be there." Cam said as he nudged Lee with his elbow.
"Really? (Ahem!) I mean, uh, cool, so–" Lee stopped as their principal yelled out.
"Naruto Uzumaki! Lee Ping! It is precisely fifteen-sixteen. You are now officially one minute late for de-tention, privates!" Barrage walks up to the two at that.
"Uh, we were just on our way." Lee sighed as they started walking.
"Not fast enough."
The general fires a net from inside his sleeve. It captures Lee, and Naruto and drags them to detention. "This is cruel and unusual punishment!" Naruto yelled as he was dragged
Lee's Room 5:00 PM
Lee is in his room, tossing a ball at the ceiling aimlessly as outside, his parents are arguing. "We're going to the opera, and you have to stay awake!" Mrs Ping yelled.
"That wasn't part of the deal. Now what about Lee? And his weekends?"
"We can talk about it on the drive." She bit back before a video chat window opened on Lee's computer.
Camillio, wearing a fake beard smiled as Naruto came up as well. "Dude. You like the goatee?" He peels most of it off. "Or the soul patch? Chiquitas love the facial hair bro."
"Wouldn't they question how you got that when you didn't several hours ago," Naruto asked leaning on his desk.
Holger appears in a separate window, giggling and with a mud mask. "Holger dream of this night since he was a small boyenhoffen."
"Sorry guys, I can't go. My dad's on my side, but–" Lee stopped as his mom yelled.
"You can't wear sweatpants to the opera!"
"You know my mom."
Holger gasps and his mud mask crumbles. "But Holger just put the waxing on his underbits!" He raises his arm, revealing that he plans to wax his armpits. "The ladies love the smooth smellings." He then rips the wax off. "Owww!"
"Homes, you gotta go! Naruto's going on his bike and will likely get there first. If you don't go we can't get in! You're our handstamp, dude! If not for you, have fun for me. And for Holger." Lee's phone rings. "And for–"
Ring-Ring!
"Brandy?" Lee asks as he closes the chat window and answers his phone. "Uh, hey?"
"Hey yourself!"
Lee sighed before speaking. "Look, about the other day, what happened by the parking lot, you know, the k-i-s–"
"Not! Now, leaping!"
Lee pinched the bridge of his nose at that. "Uh! It's Lee. Ping!"
"OK, seriously, like why are you on the phone when you should be here?"
"About that, see, I'm grounded, and–"
"And this is a way important party!" She interrupted before speaking in a meek tone. "It's my first event as an official Glamazon, Kimmie is all over me."
Lee then heard Kimmie speak up. "The ice sculpture of you arrived, and your nose is gimungous… Hmm. I guess no one will notice. And there should be way more rose petals. Like, everywhere. Huh. Maybe that's why it feels like this party's gonna stink."
"Thanks, Kimmie. I'll get on it… You get your butt over here like ten minutes ago! Or I'll tell Barrage that you've been sneaking out of detention! Yeah, I said it! Click!" Brandy threatened before hanging up.
Lee sighed at that. "Man, I can't let Brandy rat me out!" He gazes at his window, and then at some debris on the floor. "Hmm. And, Cam and Holger are right. I do deserve to have some fun." He then sent Naruto a text about Brandy reporting them if they didn't go.
I'll try to calm her down.
Naruto replied before Lee put the phone in his pocket.
Later at 7:45 PM, Lee turns out the lights in his room. In his bed, he has made a mound of debris that resembles a person's sleeping body. Satisfied with his handiwork, he creeps over to the window and slips out.
Later, Lee is on a bus before he phones a video chat with his two friends. "It's back on? DUUUDE! Mucho like awesomeness!"
"Holger continue zhe waxing then, ja? Ja. YOW!" Holger rips his other wax off at that.
"Lee!"
Lee's eyes widen as he hears his mom, and he switches to a feed of his room. "Lee!"
Lee yawns at that before speaking. "Uh, hey mom. I was–so tired, I went to bed early." The woman next to him on the bus looks at him oddly.
"We'll be back by eleven." Mrs Ping said before closing the door.
"Have a great time. Whew."
Brandy's Apartment
Brandy's party is located in a large building downtown. Cam ambles up to the front door, and Lee joins him there. "What happened to the facial hair?"
Camillio smiles at him. "Just like my personality, I'm gonna go in smoooooth as si-i-ilk."
"And Naruto said it would be weird if you showed up with it. Where's Holg?"
Upstairs, the party is sparsely populated. Some people there are dancing, some are talking, and some are just hanging out. Camillio and Lee got in before Cam turned to Lee. "We need to mingle? Go with the flow, okay? We're finally here, we're chilling in a corner? That's not the way Cam rolls." Lee doesn't react. "Hello? Lee?"
Cam waves a hand in front of Lee's eyes, but Lee doesn't blink. Elsewhere, a sculptor is using a chainsaw to chip away at a giant statue of Brandy's head. "You call that beak a nose? Make it smaller." Brandy said to the man and he set to work, and Brandy offered Kimmie a drink. "Cran-orange gingerette?"
"Bluh. No ice? Is this a drink, or soup? Maybe being a Glamazon really isn't your speed." Kimmie said before she and the other two Glamazons walked away as Brandy's shoulders slumped.
"Don't worry about that, the party just needs to get pumping."
She blinked before turning to see Naruto holding a drink. "Guess everyone's afraid to get it started. But not me." He walks over to see Lynch DJ-ing. "Hey Lynch, turn it up to 11!"
"What?"
"You know, 11, it's higher than 10," Naruto said as Lynch blinked.
"This only goes to 10."
"Well, it needs to be 11." Naruto turned the volume up and stood on the table. "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!"
Down below, Holger in a purple suit and boots walks up to the guard, people gagging as he walks by. "Hello, ladies. Holger ready for the disco party!"
He went up to the security guard who had a thick mustache and waved his face trying to get the smell away. "Did you bathe in cologne?"
Holger nodded at that. "How else to smell like manflower?"
The guard then clutched his nose at that. "Does manflower have an invite?"
"I'm with Lee Ping and Naruto Uzumaki." Holger smiles as the guard deadpans.
"Apparently so is everyone. You, sir, are stinking up my lobby!"
He then throws Holger out who lands roughly outside the building. "Oh no!" Holger yells out then blows his nose into a handkerchief, but then pulls out his phone. "Ah ha! Holger have ideacake!" He places a call.
Only to get Lee's voicemail and before trying Naruto's looks up and sees a fashionably attired couple walking in. Holger follows, along the way ducking below the desk at which the security guard is seated. Unfortunately, the guard catches a whiff of Holger's cologne. "That smell–manflower!"
The elevator doors shut before Holger can get on, so he takes off running. He rounds a corner, spots a garbage chute, and dives in.
Up at the party, Naruto opened a can of green apple splat having it shoot out slightly as it was shaken up before quickly taking a drink. He looked to see a teen boy with brown hair that was combed back wearing a blue button shirt over a white T-shirt a necklace and cargo pants.
"Brad." Naruto nodded at him before Chaz ran into him
"Chaz Monerainian, entertainment ambassador. Anything to say for Monday morning's after-party recap."
"Not really." Naruto shrugged taking a drink.
"So, Uzumaki, just how amazing is this party?"
"11 out of 10," Naruto replied before seeing Tina interviewing a different party-goer.
"Really? So your glasses are famous. How interesting."
Naruto then walks over as Steve gets Chaz's attention before he stops at her. "Hey."
"Hi, Naruto. Pretty impressive party." She said as Naruto looked to see Lee talking to Nadene, a teen girl with dark skin wearing a green hoodie with the hood up, jeans, and green lens glasses before he picked up his phone.
Down below, Holger spots the Cleaners and is chased by them and the guard. He then finds refuge in a closet, but before he can call Lee, he is chased by the Red Tazelwurm and cuts the connection.
'Must be Holger. I don't see him.' He thought before looking at Tina. "Pretty good, just helping Brandy… She's Lee's 'girl' who asked for our help in making the party one for the century."
"I'm covering the party for the school news. The social event of the season! So, you promised me an exclusive with you about the prank? Why'd you do it?"
"Ladies love the bad boys… Do you?" He asked with a smile getting the reporter to blush before seeing Naruto chuckle and realize he was joking. "I was framed… I mean why else would I walk into it to get blamed?"
"So-" Tina stopped as the lights went out with a spotlight on Lee and Brandy as the picture of them kissing came up on the large TV.
"Whoa! Who the hell took that? It was just us there." Naruto spoke seeing the picture.
"Let's bring it down, and dedicate this song–to the cloud nine couple," Lynch said from the table as Stepak started filming Lee.
He notices and ducks his head behind Brandy's to hide his face. "Where did you get that picture?"
Lee blinked at that. "Where did I get it? Where did you get it?"
Kimmie and the other Glamazons walked up to Brandy. "The hot tub's like way too hot, and, we're out of designer cupcakes. Tch. You call this a party?"
Kimmie walks away as Brandy slumps, depressed before turning to Lee her teeth clenched. "To be continued." She then turned and faking perkiness chased after Kimmie. "Coming Kimmie!"
"So you are her boyfriend?" Nadene asked walking up to Lee.
"Uh, about that-!"
"I never pictured you'd be into someone like that." Nadene interrupted him. "Isn't she bossy?"
"Well, it's all because-"
"Now it's time to rip up the dance floor to the song you've all been waiting for, Naruto Uzumaki's and Lee Ping's 'Prankster Number One!' Can ya dig it!"
"What?" Naruto turns as Lynch drops a needle on a record, and the same song that played during the prank comes out of the speakers. The eyes of everyone in the room widen, and they all stand stiffly.
"Prank song? This song?" Lee asked as Naruto looked to see Lynch as the lights turned green.
Naruto noticed that nobody was dancing and instead, they were all standing around like mannequins. He then heard Lee asking Nadene to dance getting everyone to dance. "Huh, girls dance sexy nowadays." He mused seeing several of the girls dance sexy.
"Dance sexy."
Blinking, Naruto turned to see Tina start to dance sexy, swaying her hips and having her skirt fly up showing more of her legs. His eyes widened as she reached up to her shirt. "Whoa! No, stop!"
She then stopped at that. "Lemme hear ya woop woop!" Lee said not noticing anything as the others slowly raised their hands, including Tina.
"Woop. Woop."
Lee smiled and spoke up again. "Lemme see ya get down."
Everyone in the room drops to a quasi-crouching position, although no one's posture looks natural, or comfortable. "The hell?" Naruto asked as Lee noticed them as well.
"Weird. Uh, get on up." Lee said having the room stand up. "Get on… Down?" The room crouches again as Lee begins to smile. "Go… Crazy?"
A riot breaks out in the living room of the penthouse. "Whoa! Stop! Just dance!" Naruto yelled getting the room to stop and dance again. He walked over to Lee at that. "What's goin' on?"
"I… Don't know." Lee surveys the room. He spots Lynch, totally absorbed in being the DJ, and then sees Stepak filming him. "Nuh-uh! Gimme that tape!" Stepak wordlessly takes the tape out of the camera and hands it to Lee. "OK. This is way weird."
Down below, Holger is still running away from the Taz and the Cleaners. He spots an elevator and after momentarily killing the energy in the whole building, and escaping the guard, goes up.
"This is brought to you by the good people at Green Apple Splat! It's just the splattiest! Everyone drinks some. Now!" Lynch yelled over the speakers
A fountain in the room is pouring out Green Apple Splat. Elsewhere, Steve tips soda into partygoers' cups from a large bottle.
Naruto looked to see Tina walking by holding a glass. "Tina. What's going on?" Tina just growls at him. "Whoa!"
"WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!"
Naruto stiffened as Barrage's voice came over the song having it stop and the lights turned to normal and Tina clutched her forehead as though she had a headache. "What the hell was all that about Tina?" He asks her as she looks at him in confusion.
"What was what about?"
"You seriously don't remember?" Naruto asks as Chaz runs up to him.
"If it isn't local hero, man of the hour Naruto Uzumaki."
"Not now Chaz," Naruto said before stopping Lee who was about to speak to Stepak. "Wait, they don't seem to be acting like they did during the song."
"I don't get it. Was it Barrage's voice that broke the spell?" Lee mused as suddenly, there was a pounding on the double doors of the penthouse, and a bunch of uninvited teenagers streamed into the party.
"Party crashers?!" Brandy was in shock as Cam walked up to her holding his cell.
"Yeah, all thanks to me…! Okay, everyone come up like now!"
Another surge erupts into the party including the mathletes."Do something it's out of control!" Brandy yelled out as Kimmie walked up.
"This party is pretty awesome! I may have been wrong about you. You're perfect for the Glamazons."
"Really?" Brandy asks before turning to Cam. "Do more!"
Lee watches the proceedings noncommittally. Soon, though, there's a break in the music, and he wanders over to the DJ table to take advantage of the silence. "Lynch, right? Where'd you get that song?"
Lynch looks at him at that. "Cyrus from the Dudes of Darkness flipped me that doozy. Said it was top of the pops!"
"Cyrus? Really? Notice anything–weird about it?" Lee asks him.
"If you mean getting feet on the floor, then yeah! It's crazy weird!" Lynch replies as he offers a can to Lee. "Green Apple Splat? It's the splattiest!"
Lee refuses, and Lynch chugs the can as Nadene walks past them.
"Nadene!" She stops and lets him catch up to her. "About before, I didn't wanna get caught on tape. I snuck out tonight. If my mom sees me on the school news, I'm dead meat."
"I know your mom's pretty intense." She said to him before the song played again.
Holger meanwhile arrives at the roof and is cornered, but he uses a scaffold to go down and finally enter the party, as Barrage's voice is heard and stops everyone's trance once again. "YESSS!" Naruto looked to see Holger at the window cleaning platform. "Woohoo, Holger say party time! Go nutsies!"
The crowd inside responds to his command by rioting again. Lynch watches with a look of fearful apprehension. "Whoa, whoa." Lynch then ducks underneath his DJ table.
"WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!"
The song ends, and everyone returns to normal as Holger walks up to Lee and Naruto.
"I make it! But late." Lee takes a gander at Holger's watch at that. "Must be crazy fast to be making up on zhe dancey time."
"Past eleven? Oh no! I gotta jet or I'm so busted!"
"Good luck!" Naruto said as Lee headed for the door.
However, once there, he pauses. "Ping out!"
"Don't try!" Naruto yelled as Lee left.
Down The Street.
Later, Lee is waiting at a crosswalk pressing the walk button. "C'mon! Change! In a hurry here!"
"I can't believe you fell asleep!"
Lee gasps as he realizes the car next to him at the crosswalk belongs to his parents. "What did you expect? It was a production of Sleeping Beauty!"
"Mom? Dad?" Lee asks blinking.
Lee's parents gasped and looked in the direction of his voice and Lee ducked out of sight. Soon, the light turns green, and their car leaves the intersection. Lee begins running again, using alleyways and backyards. He reaches his house at the same time as his parents and manages to climb up a trellis into his bedroom. When his mom looks in on him, she finds him lying safely in bed. "Hey, Mom. How was the opera? Dad stay awake?"
"Uuh, he tried. Good night, son. Next week, maybe you can go to the movies." She said as Lee smiled.
"Really? That'd be great. G'night."
Lee's mom smiles and shuts the door. As soon as he hears her footsteps fade down the hall, Lee sits up and goes over to his computer. There, he types in a search for "DoD." He stares at the picture that pops up. "Did you guys create that song? And set me up?"
Ring-Ring!
"Check the news, guy!" Cam said with a laugh. "You're like, famous!"
Lee hangs up and brings up the local news station's feed on his computer. Brandy is being interviewed by a man who looks like Chaz in a red suit.
"Well, I threw it to celebrate me and my new boyfriend leaping–um, I mean, Lee Ping–he was just here."
Lee gasps at that.
"If you just tuned–"
Lee shuts off his computer, but hears his parents are watching downstairs. "–in, we're here live at a party with the presence of famous prankster, Lee Ping!"
"What? No!"
"LEE PING!"
Lee slaps his forehead and sighs.
To Be Continued.

OK I got rain from the hurricane so I decided to wait and write ahead in case the power/internet went out... And then this site was acting up again for a day.
Remember to vote if you haven't. The poll got more votes. I will try to keep it up until Zita comes in, but if I get no votes after three rounds of updating, then I'll take it down.
For those who do not know, I hate the mind control trope/cliche, and for some previous stories just skipped episodes with that unless there's one of the 3 things. 1: The episode is a character's introduction. Or in this case 2: It's important to the story's plot i.e the Young Justice show if the JL weren't MC at the end of S1 to attack Rimbor, the Reach wouldn't have come to Earth and revealed the meta-gene for S2 and that wouldn't be the focus of S3's trafficking.
Or 3: I don't want to skip too many episodes of a show and may skim the mind-control part(s).
I didn't say anything earlier to keep this a surprise.
Next to be updated will be The Maelstrom Jedi.
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.🐺
