I do not own any of the characters except for Arabella.
~Arabella's POV~
Jack, Milton, Kim and I look to see the janitor that was waxing the hallway left. We all walked over to the waxed floor.
"Oh yeah, waxy Wednesday, where plastic tray meets a freshly buffed floor and legends are born." Jack says.
"Hey, guys. I got the tray." Eddie said as he comes with the trays.
"Any problem getting by Marge the lunch lady?" I asked him.
"Nah. She said they don't pay her enough to care." Eddie replied.
"Guys, did I miss anything?" Jerry yelled as he comes from staircase.
"Not yet. Hey! Shouldn't you be in detention for
putting a tolu in the boy bathroom?" I said to him.
"I should be, but when you sit me in the back and you go window open. I must take color-flag risk." Jerry told me.
"Jack, your record's about to be broken. Prepare for the new world champion, Milton the miso crabnic." Milton said as he started taking off his clothes, and underneath he was wearing a purple jumper.
As we all look away from that disbelief screen.
"Dude, it's a sandwich." Jerry told to him.
Then a door was heard to be open, I looked over and saw Truman, that annoying kid. "Oh, look at this! Truman gestures to us. "I've walked into the middle of a loser-po-loser."
"What do you want Truman?" Jack said.
Truman shrugs and smiles. "I thought I just hang out."
"Do you have to do it here?"
"It's a free hallway Jerry." Truman says.
Milton puts his helmet on as he turns to Truman. "Truman, if you escuse me. I have a date with destiny."
"Oh, that would be your first date ever." Truman said as he had an annoying laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha. Very funny. You're about to see my skin marks." Mitlon said, "Ok, I thought that gonna sound different when it came out."
I walked over to the garage can.
"Ok guys, this garbage can marked Jack's record 47 of floor tiles." I said.
As Milton sat on top of the tray and as he slide over the floor, then crash into science room.
"He just shattered your record." Jerry said to Jack with a shocked expression on his face.
"And that paper-maseille solar system outside the science room." Kim pointed out.
"It looks like somebody greased this tray."
"Looks like. Ha ha ha ha!" Truman laughs.
"I wonder who would've done that." I trailed off placing a hand on my face.
"Looks like Saturn's now larged in the dark side of the moon." Milton commented. We all looked at confused and we see that paper-mache Saturn was lodged between his legs.
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 stood between Kim and Jack at practice after school, copying the movements as Ruby was doing just like the others. I jumped, startled when a high-pitched scream is heard from the boy's locker room. Everyone turned around as the door to the boy's locker room opened and my eyes widened upon seeing Jerry's hair was now pink. Not only was his hair pink but so was his eyebrows and leg hair.
Everyone moves off to one side of the room, laughing as Jerry continues to scream. I stands beside Kim and Eddie, chuckling as she crosses her arms. "Hold on." Kim points at Jerry. "Something's different. Wait, don't tell me." She pretends to not realize it's his hair color. She snaps and grins at him. "New bathrobe."
"It's my hair." Jerry scoffs. "This is what I get for showering." He looks at Rudy with furrowed eyebrows. "Rudy, what kind of shampoo are we using?"
Rudy glances at the shampoo bottle Jerry held and chuckles. "That's the same shampoo we always use."
Jerry pulls off a cover on the bottle, revealing that was just a sticker to cover what the bottle actually was. Jerry's eyes widens. "What? This isn't shampoo. It's pink hair dye."
"Dude, do you shampoo your leg hair?" Eddie questioned, pointing at Jerry's now pink colored leg hair.
Jerry puts his right leg on the bench that Jack sits on. "Bro, when I shampoo, I'm all in." Jerry responded.
"Love your new look!" I didn't even hear the door open and so I was a bit surprised to see Truman walk over to them. Why does he always appear when stuff like this happens. "Awesome." Truman comments, looking at Jerry with amusement. "Just awesome."
Jack stands up and walks over to Truman. "I know you did this, Truman. Somehow you snuck in here and switched out that shampoo for pink hair dye."
Truman puts a hand over his heart and mockingly asks, "What?"
"No," Rudy chimes in. "It wasn't Truman. I've been here all day and I never once saw him ooze his way in here."
Truman shrugs and smiles. "Looks like I've got an airtight alibi." He looks at Jerry with an amused smile. "See you around, Pinky." He laughed while he walked out of the dojo.
"Pinky?" Jerry questions, his voice laced with confusion. "Why would anyone call me 'Pinky'?" He winces when Jack pulls out a strand of his hair and shows it to him. He takes it from Jack and nods in realization. "Oh! I get it."
come kick it with me
come on!
~No POV~
Arabella knows that Truman is somehow behind the pranks that had happened to her and her friends. He has to be the one behind it, right? He never got along with any of them and for some reason doesn't like them. First it was with Kim at the pep rally before the girl's basketball game. When she went to run through the banner, she got stuck and fell over along with the cheerleaders who tried to help her. Now she had parts of the banner still stuck to her.
Then it was Jack. He had written a letter for Heather Clark, who he had a crush on, and put it in her locker. After she read the note, he knew she would come over to talk to him, but he made sure he smelt good and looked good before she talked to him. He thought he used his cologne he often used, but somehow someone put blue cheese in it. He hated the smell of bleu cheese, it always made him throw up...And that's exactly what he did. He threw up on Heather's shoes and then he caused the domino effect to happen with everyone.
Arabella was the next target. She was walking to an empty classroom when she opened the door a bucket of dirty water was poured onto her as Arabella screamed at the top of her lungs.
When she got to the dojo after school, she was to take a hot shower and remove all her wet clothes and dry them. She sat on the stack of three mats beside Jerry and Milton while Jack and Kim sat on the stack of two mats, and Eddie sat on one of the benches.
"Guys, we all know Truman's behind all these pranks." Milton said. "We just gotta figure out how he's doing it."
"Grease, hair dye, sticky paper, bleu cheese, and dirty water being thrown on-" Jerry shrugs. "Sounds like my grandmother's medicine cabinet."
Arabella looks at him weirdly, wondering how any of that fit under the medicine category. "Truman's picking us off one by one." Jack points out. "He's got all of us, except for..." Everyone turns to look at Eddie. "Eddie."
Eddie furrows his eyebrows. "What are you guys saying?"
Milton stands up and walks over to him. "We're saying you're next." He sits next to Eddie. "If I were you, I'd roll myself up in bubble wrap and sit in the basement." He nods. "I did that when my father showed me my own birth video." He looks at his friends with disgust. "Do you guys know where we come from?"
A disgusted look forms on Arabella's face. "Don't say anything."
"My mother told me it was from a pumpkin patch." Eddie smiled.
Milton sighs. "I wish."
"I think what Eddie needs to hear," Jack stands up and then walks over to Eddie. He puts his left leg on the bench, leaning his elbow on it. "Is that we're gonna be there for him."
"Guys, guys," Standing up, Eddie shakes his head. "I can take care of myself."
Everyone follows Eddie as he walks over to the other bench. "No, no, no, don't worry, Eddie. We'll protect you." Jack assures him and Eddie sits down while Jack continues. "We'll walk you to school in the morning..."
"And after school we'll walk you back home." Kim added.
Milton sits down beside Eddie. "We'll be the last thing you see at night and the first thing you see in the morning." He smiles. "How do you like your eggs?"
Eddie furrows his eyebrows and stands up. "Guys, stop! I can't take it anymore!" He exclaims. "It wasn't Truman who pulled those pranks on you."
"Well, then who was it?" Jack asked.
"It was me." Eddie answered.
His friends look at him with shock and all speak in disbelief at the same time, "What?"
"Eddie, why would you prank us like that?" Jack questioned.
"Did you know what you did to me?" Kim looks at Eddie with an upset expression. "That paper was so sticky, I lost four freckles and half an eyebrow."
"And a clown keeps following me around asking me where I get my hair done." Jerry told Eddie.
" I had dirty water dumped on me." Bella stated.
Eddie looks at his friends with an apologetic expression as he sits down. "I didn't want to. Truman's been blackmailing me." Bella's eyes softened upon hearing her friend was being blackmailed. She has never been blackmailed but she knew it wasn't any good.
"How is he blackmailing you?" Milton asked him.
"Truman's father owns the security company that watches the mall." Eddie answered.
Jerry shrugs. "So?"
"One night Rudy let me stay late in the dojo to work on some moves. The thing is I wasn't working on karate moves." As Eddie explained he was dancing with one of the dummies that he dressed up like a girl. He added he had even kissed the dummy which she thought was weird and kind of funny.
"Truman saw everything from his father's office." Eddie continues. "He put it on a flash drive and unless I do whatever he says, he's going to put it on the internet." He looks at each of them with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, guys."
Atabella looks at him with a reassuring smile, letting him know she wasn't mad at him anymore. "It's okay, Eddie." Jack assures him. He crosses his arms. "He's not going to get away with it."
"Truman's gonna be sorry he messed with us." Milton smiles. "When you poke a bear, do you know what happens?" When Eddie doesn't reply, he looks at everyone with confusion. "Seriously, does anyone know?"

That night they all wore black gis and were in the dojo with the lights dimmed. They were all gathered around a stack of four mats that had a blueprint of the mall on top. "Okay, our mission is to get into the security office and grab the flash drive out of the safe." Jack explains. "Let's go over the plan one more time."
"I'll get Truman out of the office by taking him to the parking lot and letting him shoot paintballs at me." Eddie explained his part of the plan.
Kim looks at him with furrowed eyebrows. "You think he'll go for it?"
"I'm pretty sure." Eddie opened his gi to reveal a black t-shirt underneath with colorful paint dots on it which made it look like he got paintballs shot at him.
Arabella nods slowly and presses her lips together. "Let's just hope it works."
"Once we're inside, I'll disarm the security system." Jack spoke.
"Bella will crack the safe." Milton chimed in.
"Out in the courtyard, I will distract the guard." Kim cut in, gesturing to herself.
"And I'll distract the guard's dog." Jerry said.
Jack looks at him with confusion. "How are you going to distract the dog?"
"See, I don't know if you know this about me, but I was partially raised by wolves." Jerry answered.
Bella glances at him and nods. "I believe it."
"Yeah," Kim agrees. "That actually explains a lot."
"Check it." Jerry howled loudly and a few seconds later distant howls from wolves can be heard, causing his friends to look at each other with surprise.
Jerry smirks and crosses his arms. "Those are my peeps."
kickin' it with you!
~Arabella's POV~
As Kim was distracting Joan and signal us to go pass as Jerry was distracting the dog.
"Yo, what up, dog? Yeah, you and I, we like the same things..." Jerry said to the dog as he continued to talk to the dog. "Chasing cats, chewing on slippers. And dragging our butts across the carpet. You know what I'm talking about."
Jack, Milton and I walked by past Jerry and guard dog, into the building where the safe was. We came across with lasers.
"Wow, military-grade security lasers." Milton flabbergasted by the lasers.
"Okay, now that I did not expect." Jack startled.
"Kill switch is on the other side. How do we get past this?" I said.
"Very carefully." Jack said with a smirk bed he started to move his way through the lasers and I was impressed. When he got through he pushed the kill switch and the lasers disappeared. "Come on let's go."
Milton and I ran over.
"You are such a show off sometimes." I stated to Jack while give a look.
"I know." Jack replied with a smug look.
"There it is" Milton pointed at the safe and was about to walk in when Jack pulled him back.
"There is weigh sensors on the carpet! We can't walk on the floor" Jack pointed out.
"What do we do?" Milton asked and instead of answering Jack jumped up using his feet on each side of the doorframe to hold himself up. He then put his hands on the top of the door frame and swinged his legs over to the desk.
Milton tried to do the same thing, twice, but he didn't even get passed the first jump. "Maybe I should do this while you stay here" I patted his shoulder and copied Jack's previous movements without breaking a sweat.
"How do we get across the office to the safe?" I asked Jack who took off his belt and threw it over a pipe in the roof.
"I will carry you across the room okay?" Jack said.
"Milton you will have to give me the numbers to open the safe." I said to Milton.
"You ready?" Jack asked and I nodded. The brown haired boy jumped up wrapping his leg around my waist and I jumped off the desk. Jack's legs were wrapped around me and I turned around to make the make the position more comfortable.
"Alright, Truman has four brothers" Milton started and I pushed at the desk to get them to swing over to the safe where I pressed the number four. "He claims to have kissed seven girls, lying" Milton continued and I did the same thing again. "And he has three nipples" Milton finished and when I pressed on the number three the safe opened.
"Yes we did it" Jack cheered. "You made that last one up didn't you?" he directed the question to Milton as I took the flash drive out of the safe.
"No, he swims in my 'y'" Milton shrugged from the door.
"Jack, how do we get down?" I asked with a grimace.
"That is a very good question" Jack said trying to come up with a possible way. "Milton, any idea?"
"Jump?" Milton suggested pathetically.
"That may work." I said mostly to myself, "Jack hold on." I tried to sit up from my position. When I was almost upright I wrapped my arms around Jack's neck. "You can let go of me." I instructed and when Jack released his hold on my waist, I wrapped my legs around his waist.
"Well, hello there." Jack flirted, our faces only inches apart. I give an eyebrow raise and then I used him as a rope and climbed up so I could reach the pipe. When I got a hold of it, when I released my legs from Jack and used them to swing myself over. I let go of the pipe and landed on the desk gracefully.
"Jack, swing over here" I ordered and when Jack got close enough I grabbed him and helped him up on the desk. They both jumped down and landed by Milton outside the office
"Wow! You two could be spies." Milton said in awe when they walked out the same way they came in. They sneaked past Jerry and the dog as well as the security guard.
"That might have been the most stressful couple of minutes of my life!"
"Breaking into my father's office! You guys are in so much trouble" Truman screamed storming into the dojo.
"We take whatever comes" Jack said casually and I whined, not liking the sound of that, "But we had to help a friend out."
"I want that flash drive and I want back right now!"
"Alright, alright we will give it back" Jack said calmly, "But first we got another video we want you to see."
"What are you talking about?" Truman asked and they showed him the video Eddie filmed when Truman found out the flash drive was gone and had a mental breakdown.
"Yup, I got your whole crybaby freak-out." Eddie laughed.
"Doesn't feel so good when it's you, does it, Truman?" Jack asked him smugly.
"If that thing gets out, my life will be over!" Truman panicked, "I'll be known as tantrum boy. Please tell me you won't post that video."
"We're not gonna post it. We're not like you, Truman." Kim said.
"Hey, how about a deal? We destroy both videos. And you never mess with us again, deal?" Jack proposed.
Deal. Just delete it, please! please!" Eddie pushed a couple of buttons on the computer and showed Truman the deleted file. "You know I only... I only melted down like that. Because I knew the camera was there." He tried to regain some dignity. "I was just putting on a show."
"Mmm-mm." I rolled my eyes.
"Well, show's over. When you mess with one of us, You mess with all of us." Eddie said.
"Bye, Truman." Eddie waved.
"Bye, Eddie. Maybe next week we can
go paintball..."
"Get out." Eddie interrupted him and
Eddie, remember what you just told Truman..." Jack said softly, " If you're in trouble, we'll always be there for you."
"Got it." Eddie gave Jack a fist bump, "Thanks, guys."
"Has anyone seen Jerry?" Jack realized that they were down a man short.
"Last time I saw him, he was out in the courtyard." Kim said.
"Leave him there, he will probably come back when he is hungry."
kickin' it with you!
