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

~Arabella's POV~

I was walking in the mall and saw the boys admiring a go-cart in the viewing window.

"Hey, guys." I waved at them. I walked over to them and hugged Jack, who hugged back. We all turned to see Kim with her hair in an Afro with highlights.

"Kim, wow! You look... Different. Hot date tonight?" Milton asked.

"With a clown?" Jack added.

"Go ahead and laugh, but I just got us bucks closer to buying that go-cart." Kim said showing us the ten dollar bill, "Wilford beauty college is paying people to be their practice dummy."

"My cousin chewie goes there." Jerry said as we walked towards the dojo, "You know for his final, he trimmed my grandmother's mustache. He went through three pairs of scissors, but he got most of it."

"Man, I can't wait till we get that go-cart." Eddie said as we all agreed.

"All right, time to kick in." Milton said as he place his duffle bag and walked over to his locker, "I made bucks by visiting my great aunt Betty. Every time I go, she thinks it's my birday and gives me money." He took out the money jar and Kim placed her bucks in it. "I went four times yesterday."

"And I went twice." Jack said proudly throwing in his twenty bucks into the money jar.

"Cindy connors gave me bucks to stop asking her out in front of her boyfriend." Eddie explained, putting his money in.

"Here, thirty bucks I got babysitting my neighbor's kid." I said putting my money into it.

"Someone put an I.O.U. In here." Milton said picking up a purple note, "Took five bucks to buy a foot-long at captain corndog's. It's dope, yo. Whoo!"

"Who would do something like that?" Jerry asked while eating a corndog.

"Dude, come on, Jerry." Jack said annoyed, "You're the only one who hasn't contributed to the go-cart fund."

"I don't have the talent to make money." Jerry said, "I even tried selling doors door-to-door. You know how hard it is to find a house without a door?"

"Wow, talk about lazy." I said.

"You guys are never gonna guess how I just made 10 dollars." Rudy entered the dojo with a weird hairstyle.

"Uh, practice dummy at the wilford beauty college?" Kim asked.

"No, I sold my old golf shoes. What's this about a beauty college?" Rudy said confused.

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.

"Sorry, guys, I gotta go." Rudy said as I just walked out of the locker rooms, "Gotta save Eddie from a lifetime of crime and incarceration." He continued before leading Eddie out of the dojo, "Dead man walking!"

Because I could make a comment, Kim walks in the dojo, as Jack and Milton scream at her hairstyle, her hairstyle was bizarre and her makeup was interesting.

"Another bucks towards the go-cart." Kim announced smugly.

"I am in shock by your look, you look like a poodle and a peacock had a baby together." I said looking at her.

Kim glared at me, and pout, looking at boys, "Has Jerry put any money in yet?" She asked them.

"I haven't seen Jerry in two days." Milton said.

"Guys, we were pretty rough on him." Jack said, "He's probably embarrassed he can't kick in enough for the go-cart."

The sound of an engine was revving outside the dojo caught our attention and we run outside to see the commotion.

The driver stepped out and took his helmet off to reveal Jerry, "Oh hey, you guys. You like my new ride?"

"You bought our go-cart?" Jack asked in disbelief.

"Yeah. I, uh, I decided to go solo." Jerry said tossing his helmet at me.

"Two days ago you couldn't go solo on a gumball." Milton said confused.

"That was before I got a job delivering meatballs for the Meatball King." Jerry said as a ringtone was heard and it was his phone, "Gotta take this." He said before answering his phone, "Hello? Oh yeah yeah. I told you three times. I delivered the thing to the guy at the place. Okay okay."

Jerry hung up the phone and turned to Kim, "You know what, doll? Why don't you go get yourself fixed up." He handed her some money. "And Bella, you can go too, maybe you can get new—

"That's it." I said angrily and was about to attack Jerry, but Jack stopped me by pulling me back from Jerry, who just chuckled before sitting down in his go-cart again. He whistled and Milton tossed his helmet to him. He only made a peace sign and as the engine revving and he drove away.

"I really want to be mad at him, but he looks so cool." Milton admitted.

...(づ｡‿‿｡)づ

"I still cannot believe that Jerry bought our go-cart." Jack said upset as we sat by a table at Falafel Phil's.

"This goes way beyond the go-cart. Ever since he started working for the meatball king, he's been a whole different person. If he calls me doll one more time, I'm gonna pummel him!" I said.

"Okay, two falafel for you." Phil walked over and placed a tray of falafel on our table and a tall man in black clothes entered the restaurant.

"Phil, you've got a customer."

"Uh, hello, mr. Dirk." Phil stuttered, "What bring you around to the town?"

"It's time to pay your bill." Mr. Dirk said.

"Uh, but...Please, I need more time." Phil begged him.

No, you're outta time and I ain't playin' games." Mr. Dirk sneered.

"Games? I love playing games." Phil said nervously, "Let's play hiding and the seeking. I'm going to hide and you—"

"All right, that's it." Mr. Dirk said as he tried to punch Phil but Jack stood up from his seat and caught his fist.

"You probably shouldn't have done that." Jack said and the two started fighting which ended with Jack kicking him out the store, "Phil, who was that guy?"

"He collect the money for the meatballs that I do t need but I am forced to buy." Phil explained.

"From who?" Jack asked.

"The Meatball King." Phil replied.

"The Meatball King?" Jack repeated and I let out a frustrated groan.

"That's Jerry's boss!" I reminded him. "Wow, I never thought Jerry managed to land a job with some meatball-mafia."

Toostie let out a sound and we all turned to the goat, "Oh great, Tootsie." Phil said tiredly, "Now why would such a good little goat eat her tips?" He asked her and a timer started ringing inside the goat, "And her timer?"

...(づ｡‿‿｡)づ

Jack and I ran into the dojo, "Is Jerry in here?" I turned to Rudy, "What happened to your nose."

"Pretzel." Rudy responded.

"Ok, I'm not going to ask why."

"Yeah, he's in the locker room." Milton said just as Jerry walked out in a black gi with a tiger in the front of it.

"Um, what are you wearing?" I asked looking at his outfit in distaste.

"A custom-made gi." Jerry explained, "My new boss got it for me. Check it." He pushed a button and the tiger on the gi roared. "Whoo-ho-ho!"

"That is the tackiest gi I've ever seen." Rudy said, "I mean, where would one even go to buy such a thing? In a medium?"

"Who are you trying to kid, Rudy?" I asked, "You obviously want one."

Rudy gives me a look, Jack decides to change the subject, "Jerry, your new boss is forcing people to buy meatballs. He's a criminal."

Jerry scoffed, "Sure he is. You know what? You guys are just jealous 'cause I've got--"

He was interrupted by a frantic Phil who ran into the dojo, "The Meatball King stole Tootsie!"

"You were saying," I said took the paper, from frantic Phil, "Give me my money or the goat gets it. The Meatball King." I read it.

"That doesn't prove anything." Jerry said, "You know how many meatball kings there are in the world?"

"He took Tootsie!" Jack said.

"You know how many Tootsies there are--"

"Jerry!"

"I get it. I'm working for a criminal!" Jerry walked away and when he did it revealed a tiger's tail that was spinning around on his back.

"Ohhh, I gotta get one of those gis."

...(づ｡‿‿｡)づ

"Uh, that's right,officer.Tootsie is a goat." Rudy said talking on the phone while we listened attentively, "Mm-hmm. Oh. Okay then, thanks. Take care." He hung up the phone, "Yeah, they're not going to help us."

"I'll never see my Tootsie ever again." Phil wailed loudly while slumping down in the chair next to Kim, crying.

"It's okay, Phil, let's look at her photo album again." Kim tried to assure him.

"Yeah? Okay." Phil said opening the album on a random page. "Oh, this is my favorite.

It's from her Baah-Mitzvah."

"Man,this is all my fault." Jerry said, "I just saw an opportunity to make some really good money, I didn't realize what I was doing."

"Oh,okay. I must figure out a way to pay this ransom." Phil said standing up.

"And then what?" Jack asked standing up as well, "You'll be back to overpaying for meatballs that you don't need. Guys, we have to stop him."

"But how?" Phil asked.

"Yeah.It's not like I can just stick my phone onto my chest, go into the meatball king's office, record his confession, then take the evidence to the police department." Jerry said.

...(づ｡‿‿｡)づ

"You guys really think this'll work?" Jerry asked as we attached his phone to his chest.

Absolutely." Milton said convinced, "We'll record the whole confession here at the dojo."

"Got it." Jerry said as his phone started ringing, "Oh ho ho! Cindy meyers." He read the caller-ID "Gotta take this."

Jerry ripped his phone from his chest, managed to rip a lot of his chest hair causing him to scream in pain, before picking up the phone, "Yo ho ho, what it do, girl?"

...(づ｡‿‿｡)づ

We sat in the dojo, listening as Jerry with his meeting with the Meatball King. "Okay, I'm going in." Jerry whispered.

"What do you want to see me about, Jerry?" The Meatball king, "I'm busy."

"Uh, well, you know, I was, uh." Jerry's video was heard by the speaker, "I was just in the neighborhood and I was wondering what your thoughts are on crime and all the other stuff, particularly vis-a-vis, you know, goat stealing. And before you answer, can you please state your full name?" Jerry rambled.

"Jerry, I don't have a lot of time for this." The meatball king said, "Is there a reason why you're here?"

"Yeah, there is, king." Jerry said, "I know you goatnapped Tootsie and I was the one who told you about her. I want a piece of the action!"

Jerry must have accidentally disconnected the call, "Oh no! We got disconnected." Milton said.

"What we should do?" Phil asked in panic.

"Call him back?" Kim suggested and the boys quickly agreed.

"She's so smart!" Phil said as Kim pushed the button.

"If we call him back, that looks really weird for Jerry, if his just started ringing." I deadpanned and leaned over to disconnect the call.

"She's smarter." Phil said as everyone agreed.

...(づ｡‿‿｡)づ

The evening we sat in the dojo waiting for Jerry who come back when he did, he was covered in suds all over his body.

"What I don't understand is why you're covered in suds." Kim said, sitting down next to him on the bench.

"Well, just before I almost burst into flames, I ran through the car wash, where I realized two things." Jerry told us, "One, you know that blow-dryer at the end? It can literally blow your freckles off. And two, the meatball king was talking to his boss on the phone today and he was scared to death of him."

"How does that help us?" Jack asked.

"He's never seen the guy! They call him the Schnoz." Jerry explained.

"Why do they call him that?" Milton asked.

"Because he's got one gnarly-looking honker." Jerry said as a look of realization as we all look over to Rudy as Rudy looked back, "What?"

…(づ｡‿‿｡)づ

Phil stood in the middle of the mall, waiting to do the exchange between Tootsie and the money and after a few minutes Jerry walked in while we waited for a signal.

"Goat boy's a friend of mine." Jerry said, "In fact, he's got lots of friends. Some you might even know."

"Oh yeah? Like who?" The meatball king snorted.

"The Schnoz." Rudy said, as his voice had a little string sound as his nose was still swollen. Rudy walked in front in a green jumpsuit, I was wearing a purple one, Jack wore a blue one, Kim in a pink one, lastly Milton was wearing an orange jumpsuit. "I would have been here earlier, but I got lost in all this fog."

"I swear on my mama's meatballs." The meatball king said, "If I knew Phil was a friend of yours, I would have never disrespected him. Dirk, give 'em the goat."

Dirk handed over the leech to Phil while Tootsie was bleating as Rudy crouched down to look at her, "Tootsie, welcome back to the family."

"Let's go, Tootsie." Phil said leading her away.

Rudy stood up and as our eyes widened by Tootsie eating off Rudy's fake mustache, Rudy stood up, "You don't know how lucky you are that not a hair on Tootsie's-- The goat ate my fake mustache, didn't it?"

"Yepp." I answered before turning to the bad guys, " I will make you an offer you can't refuse. Let us go and you won't have to suffer."

One of the meatball king's men run towards to attack us, but Jack quickly stopped him and a fight broke loose.

"Alright, that didn't work." I muttered as I was fighting my own guy. After several exchange blows I spun around and kicked him in the stomach and flipped him over.

"Rudy! Meatball bazooka." Milton yelled as the meatball king was holding a bazooka and he was about to shoot Rudy, Jerry jumped in front of him taking the hits that was taking at him.

Jerry fell to the ground and Rudy quickly defeated Dirk only to come face to face with the bazooka, "You wouldn't-- okay."

"Freedom!" Joan yelled as she fell out of the air vent in an orange jumpsuit that you wear in prison, and onto the meatball king. She stood up just as Eddie revealed himself inside the air vent, "This is where we go our separate ways. Good luck, kid."

"Bye, Norma!" Eddie waved as she ran away.

"I can't believe you did this to me, Jerry!" The Meatball king said, "I treated you like a son. You were like family."

"You're not my family." Jerry said, "These people are my family."

"All I know is your family's crazy!" The meatball king snapped, "Let's get out of here, guys."

The men stumbled away from us as Eddie turned to him, Oh, Rudy, I found my receipt. I did pay for that pretzel."

"Oh, really? Let's see it." Rudy said.

"I don't have it. Joan ate it."

"Here we go." Rudy said, "First you steal and now you're lying. I've got a guy that deals with liars." He lead a protesting Eddie away

"I just want to say how sorry I am." Jerry apologized, "I let the whole job thing get to my head and money should never be more important than friendship."

"You're right. But in the end, you were the one who came up with the plan to get Tootsie back and it all worked out." Jack said, "And on top of that you got yourself a go-cart."

"No, we got a go-cart." Jerry corrected him as we all cheered.

"Whoo-hoo!" Joan screamed while driving pass us in our go-cart, "Two hours to mexico, losers!"
