A Hiking Hazard/Transcript

Before I start, I just wanna thank corneyforever for making me smile with his/her Meeting Grojband fanfiction. I love all of the charm that Meeting Grojband has brought me. I've been reading that fanfiction ever since April 2022, and I've been enjoying it ever since.

Now, ever since Meeting Grojband ended, I wanted to make my very own version of Meeting Grojband. The original author of the fanfiction allowed me to do so and accepted my ideas. So thank you, corneyforever! You're awesome!

Note: The voice cast is from 4Kids Entertainment, and I chose every voice actor in the voice cast that perfectly suits the character they're playing. For example, I chose Annice Moriarty to voice Carrie Beff because I've heard Annice voice stuck-up, shallow girls before (i.e. Reiko Komori in The King of Braves GaoGaiGar), and I chose Lisa Ortiz to voice Jackie Matthews because I've heard Lisa voice kind-hearted girls with common sense (i.e. Serenity Wheeler in Yu-Gi-Oh!).

So anyways, without further ado, here's my original story premise for the first chapter:

"There's a forest/hiking race in Tranquil Town, where various bands have to compete against each other. The winning band gets to perform on stage. When they hear about it on TV, Jackie, Eric and Grojband decide to compete in the forest race. But trouble arises when Jackie, Eric and Grojband realize they have to compete against Jack and the Newmans."

This episode is based off the Fireman Sam episode "Fun Run". I hope you enjoy!

One summer, at Jackie's house, Jackie, Eric and Grojband were watching TV at the garage. On the TV, there was a commercial advertising a hiking race in Tranquil Town. Mayor Swellow was on the TV.

"Greetings, fellow Tranquilians! Get ready for this year's annual Hike-a-Thon!", Mayor Swellow announced as he was in the forest. "It's gonna be amazing! There will be lots of bands competing from all over Tranquil Town and racing all over the forest! Whoever wins will get this gold trophy!", he said, holding up a gold trophy.

"Ooh...", Jackie, Eric and Grojband went.

"That's right! So be prepared, everybody!", Mayor Swellow said. Jackie turned off the TV.

"Alright, guys! You heard what Mayor Swellow said! We better start preparing for the Hike-a-Thon." Jackie told Eric and Grojband.

"And if we all work together, we're bound to win that shiny trophy!" Corey said.

"Heck yeah my man!" Eric agreed. "If we work our hardest and really set our minds to it, then there will be no way we can fail. We're gonna get all that sweet, sweet, recognition we've all been dreaming of, and there won't be a single thing those nasty Newmans can do about it! I hope they aren't be in the Hike-a-Thon!"

"I appreciate the confidence guys, but you do realize that once we win, we have to perform on stage, which means we're gonna need lyrics if we're gonna do a song." Laney pointed out.

"Don't worry Lanes. We'll get them!" Corey told her, putting an arm around her. This made Laney blush.

"I'll be your hiking companion, Jackie!" Kin said, putting an arm around Jackie like Corey did to Laney.

"Really, Kin? Thanks! You really are a true friend." Jackie said flattered, hugging Kin. After she hugged him, Kin sighed and fell down to the floor.

"It's a miracle..." Kin swooned. Kon walked to his twin brother and picked him up.

"Dude, just because you and Jackie are hiking companions doesn't mean she's in love in you." Kon told him.

"I know! But she's super cute, so you never know. She might be giving me a hint! Plus, a guy's gotta have hope, right, even if it's small, right? You can't win if you never make a move, right?" Kin said.

"You've got a point..." Kon sighed.

"Well, what are we waiting for, you guys? Let's go win that Hike-a-Thon!" Eric shouted. Jackie and Grojband cheered.

When they arrived at the Hike-a-Thon at the local Tranquil Town forest, they saw Tracy and Macy waiting for them with angry glares on their faces.

"Tracy? What are you doing here?" Jackie says angrily.

"Well, if you must know twerp, I'm only here because me, Macy and Rick are judging the Hike-a-Thon." Tracy said rudely.

"You're being lazy, Tracy. It's a beautiful day out today." Jackie told her.

"Lazy-schmazy! I'm going to be sitting next to hunky Rick Salary, for your big fat information." Tracy shouted.

"We already know about your crush, Captain Obvious." Laney said sarcastically.

"Agreed. It's getting to be a pain in the butt." Eric said in the same sarcastic manner she did.

"I am NOT 'Captain Obvious', makeup dude!", Tracy shouted. This made Laney growl.

"TRACY! LANEY IS A GIRL!", Eric screamed. "I'M GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF YOU CALLING HER THAT!", he shouted.

"Thank you Eric.", Laney said. "For once, you're one of the only sane people around here." she whispered.

"You're welcome. And Laney, whenever you get too angry, remember the calming-down technique I told you?", Eric told Laney.

"Yep. I remember it very well." Laney said.

"That's good." Eric smiled.

"So...who are we competing against?" Corey asked Jackie, Eric and the rest of Grojband.

"Well..." Jackie tried to say, but was interrupted by someone dashing past her, which messed up her hair in the process.

The person dashing past her was revealed to be Jack Matterson, Jackie's gender-opposite rival.

"Oh no..." Eric groaned while facepalming.

"Oh yes! And deal with it, Dork-ric!" Jack said smugly.

"*JACK MATTERSON?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!*" Jackie shouted.

"What I'm 'doing here' is competing in the Hike-a-Thon, Matthews." Jack said.

"Get out, Jack! I don't even wanna see your face right now!" Eric screamed.

"Yeah! Forget it, Matterson! You're not getting that trophy, and that's final!" Jackie shouted.

"Well, my band's competing in the Hike-a-Thon too!" Jack said.

"*GASP! NOT THE NEWMANS!*" Kin and Kon shouted.

The Newmans came up from behind Jack and did poses. Eric was horrified.

"*NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! AND JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE!*" Eric screamed.

"Shut up, you stupid little dweeb!" Carrie shouted. "No one like, totally cares what you think!"

"Yes they do, you stuck-up, shallow snob!" Eric shouted. "Ugggh! Let's face it! You guys aren't gonna win!", he angrily said.

"Like, of *COURSE* we're gonna win, Winans!" Carrie scoffed. "Hmmmph! If's anyone's gonna be losing here, it's *YOU*!", she said.

"*I AM NOT, SCARRIE BARF!*", Eric yelled.

"*CALL ME 'SCARRIE BARF' ONE MORE TIME AND YOU'RE GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!*" Carrie screamed.

"Shut up, Scarrie Barf!", Eric said.

"*GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! THAT'S IT!*" Carrie shrieked. She started chasing Eric and trying to kill him.

"Ugggggh. This is gonna be a very long day." Laney complained.

"Don't worry. Once Eric is safe from Carrie, we'll race." Jackie told Laney.

"That sounds fair enough." Laney said. "Man, Eric and Carrie *REALLY HATE* each other!", she remarked.

"They've been that way since they were babies." Jackie told her.

"Wow..." Laney said.

Meanwhile, Eric was still being chased by Carrie. Eric ran as fast as he could. The other Newmans watched.

"*CARRIE, PLEASE STOP CHASING POOR ERIC! HE DOESN'T DESERVE ANY OF THIS!*" Konnie called out.

"*OF COURSE HE DOES!*" Carrie shouted. "*THAT'S WHAT HE GETS FOR BEING A TOTAL DORK!*" she told Konnie.

"*I am NOT a dork!*", Eric said, now with Jackie and Grojband, safe and sound. "If anything, you're a stuck-up, shallow rich girl who's a total crybaby!" he remarked.

"*GRRRRRRRRRRR! I'LL LIKE, TOTALLY GET YOU FOR THIS, WINANS! AND RIFFIN, DON'T EVEN THINK I FORGOT ABOUT YOU!*", Carrie screamed.

"We'll just see about that!" Corey said angrily. "And if you try to threaten my main man Eric, I will make your life a living nightmare!" he said, putting an arm on Eric, who smiled at Corey back. Carrie just growled in response, saying something about 'ugly losers'.

"Thanks, Core! I needed that!" Eric said.

"No prob, dude." Corey told him. "*Now, WHO'S READY TO RAAAAAAAAAAAACE?!*" he shouted. Jackie and the rest of Grojband cheered.

*WICKED COOL TRANSITION!*

Jackie and Grojband were prepared to run to the starting line. So did Jack and The Newmans.

Just then, Mayor Swellow appeared, getting ready to start the Hike-a-Thon.

"On your marks...Get set...*GOOOOOOOO*!" he announced. As if on cue, the two fighting bands began running as fast as they can.

Jackie and Jack went in the same direction. Not only were they running, but they were arguing as well.

"Our band's gonna win, Matterson!" Jackie said. "Just forget about getting that trophy!", she shouted.

"No we won't, loser!" Jack shouted. "Our band's gonna win, Matthews! And there's nothing you can do about it!", he taunted. Then, he ran off and Corey ran with her.

"Hey Jacks!" Corey said. "Jack giving you issues?", he asked her while running.

"Yes. Doesn't he know that winning isn't everything? Racing's actually about having fun!" Jackie said.

"You got that right!" Corey agreed with her. "And don't get me started with Carrie..." he shuddered.

"The Newmans' lead singer and lead electric guitarist? Uggggh, she is so stuck-up!" Jackie said. "And she hates Eric all because he does stuff his own way! And all because he's a 'dweeb'! I mean come on! Everybody does stuff their own way! That's an invalid reason to hate a person!" she remarked.

"Totally!" Corey said. "Well, I gotta run, I'll see you later!" he told her, and ran off.

"Bye!" Jackie said and ran off too.

Meanwhile, at the judging booth, Tracy, Macy and Rick Salary were watching the two fighting bands (and Jackie and Eric) race off in the forest.

"Uggggggh! This is soooooo boring!" Tracy whined. "I don't wanna watch people race all day! I wanna do something much more fun, like go shopping!", she cried out. "At least I'm with you, Rick." she swooned at him. "Oooooh, is that a new shirt?", she asked.

"Yep. Rick just bought it. It's a shirt he got from his cousin." Rick told Tracy.

"Wooooow! That's like, sooooo cool!" Tracy squealed. "And way better than what my dorky sister Jackie wears..." she muttered.

"Ummm...Tracy?" Macy said, trying to get Tracy's attention.

"*NOT NOW MACY!*" Tracy yelled. "*CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT HUNKY RICK SALARY?*" she shouted.

"But Jackie's heading right for you!" Macy warned her.

"Huh?" Tracy wondered. Just then, out of nowhere, her hair was blown off by Jackie's fast running.

"*ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!*" Tracy said. "*MY HAIR IS RUINED!*", she shouted.

"Relax, Tracy. It's not such a big deal..." Macy told her.

"*NOT SUCH A BIG DEAL?! NOT SUCH A BIG DEAL?! MY HAIR IS ALL FRAZZLED! AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF RICK, NO LESS!*" Tracy whined.

"Did I just hear Tracy whine about her hair?" Jackie wondered, as she and Kon were racing.

"How did you hear all of that?" Kon asked her. "Do you have super-hearing powers?" he gasped.

"Nope. Just a hunch." Jackie told him.

"Oh, alright!" Kon said.

"*COMING THROOOOOOOOOOOOUGH!*" a high-pitched feminine voice said.

"Who was that?" Kon asked Jackie, scared by the sudden voice he heard.

"Oh crap...I think I know..." Jackie shuddered.

As if on cue, Konnie speeded past them, making Kon and Jackie spin around.

"I'm dizzy..." Kon groaned. He then realized that Konnie ran ahead of him. "*KONNIE RAN AHEAD OF ME?! OH NOOOOOOOO! I BETTER GET GOING! BYE JACKIEEEEEEEEE!*", he shouted, and ran as fast as he could.

"Bye Kon." Jackie said.

Kon and Konnie were running against each other.

"*I'M GOING TO WIN!*" Kon screamed.

"*NO, I'M GOING TO WIN! I'M GOING TO WIN WIN WIIIIIIIINNNNNN!*" Konnie shouted back.

"*I'VE GOT A SECRET WEAPON TO HELP ME!*" Kon told his gender-opposite counterpart.

"Well, guess what?" Konnie asked him.

"What?" Kon said.

"I've got a secret weapon too! Well, I've gotta run! Bye bye bye! See you NEVER!" Konnie said as she ran off and giggled.

As Konnie was running, Eric passed by her.

"Hi Konnie!" Eric said.

"Hiiiii Eriiiiic!" Konnie cheerfully said. "You look sooooo cool in those racing clothes!", she squealed.

"Thanks! I got those clothes special for this Hike-a-Thon!" he told Konnie.

"Ooooooh, you did?" Konnie said, astonished.

"Definitely. I got these so I could give myself running confidence." Eric told her. "Wearing these clothes, I can't lose! Not only that, but I look fabulous!", he said.

"*HA! MORE LIKE TOTALLY PATHETIC!*" another high-pitched female voice called out, a stuck-up 'valley girl' voice this time.

It was Carrie who said that. She was running with a portable fan in her hand and was spraying perfume on herself.

"U*GGGGGH! NOT YOU AGAIN! WHY THE HECK ARE YOU USING A PORTABLE FAN ON YOURSELF?! THAT'S CHEATING!*", Eric shouted.

"It's *not* cheating, Winans!" Carrie scoffed. "I'm using a portable fan on myself so I don't get hot! It's *summer*, you stupid little dweeb!", she growled.

"I don't care!", Eric shouted. "Also, you shouldn't be running with something in your hand! You'll trip and get seriously hurt!", he said.

Carrie then sniffs Eric and gags.

"What the heck's wrong *NOW?!*", Eric complained.

"What the heck's wrong? *WHAT THE HECK'S WRONG?!*", Carrie screamed. "*YOU STINK! YOU LIKE, TOTALLY STINK! THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG, YOU DISGUSTING DWEEB! SERIOUSLY, YOUR ARMPITS STINK! YOU ARE TOTALLY DISGUSTING!*", she shouted.

"That's it. I'm running away from you!", Eric growled. He then proceeded to run away from Carrie.

"Good! I don't even wanna see your stupid ugly face ever again!", Carrie scoffed.

Eric now is running in a different direction. Just then, he saw Larry pass him by.

"H-h-h-h-hi Eric." Larry nervously said.

"Hi, Larry!" Eric cheerfully said. "How's the race so far?", he asked him.

"As long as there aren't any obstacles, it's fine." Larry told Eric.

"Oh, OK." Eric said.

"*LARRYYYYYYYYYYY! WHAT DID I LIKE TOTALLY SAY ABOUT TALKING TO THE DWEEB?!*", Carrie shouted in the distance.

"Ohhhhh noooooo..." Larry panicked. "I gotta go! Bye, Eric!", he told him.

"Bye, Larry!" Eric called out.

"Reach up, see the world around you! Reach up, way up *HIIIIIIIIIIIIGH!*!" Eric sung to himself.

"*WINAAAAAAAAAAANS! STOP SINGING THAT BABY SONG!*" Carrie screamed as she ran past him.

"I am NOT singing a baby song, Scarrie Barf!" Eric shouted. This made Carrie even angrier.

"*GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! LIKE, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?! STOP CALLING ME THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!*", Carrie shrieked.

"Never! I will never stop calling you that! And put your stupid portable fan away!", Eric shouted. Carrie growled in response.

"Holy moly, she's such a drama queen." Eric said to himself. Just then, Laney passed by.

"Hi Eric." Laney said.

"S'up, Lanes?" Eric said. "How's the race going for you?", he told her.

"So far, it's fantastic." Laney smiled.

"I tried to tell Carrie that holding stuff in your hand while running is dangerous, but she won't listen." Eric complained.

"Seriously? She's gonna get severely injured!" Laney agreed with what he said.

"That's what I said!", Eric said. "Uggggh, she's such a drama queen.", he growled.

"Definitely agreed." Laney said.

"Anyways, I can't stop to chat some more! I'm running with all my heart and I'm having fun doing it!", Eric smiled.

"OK. I'll catch you later, dude." Laney told him, and she ran to the other direction.

Meanwhile, Jackie and Kin were running together.

"I can't believe we're finally hiking companions!" Kin swooned, happy that he was finally with Jackie.

"What do you mean, Kin?" Jackie asked him.

"I'm super happy that we're running together, Jackie!", Kin told her. "You're the most, beautiful, kind, polite person I've ever met." he said.

"Oh Kin! That's soooo sweet of you!" Jackie squealed. She then hugged Kin. Kin then swooned in the process.

"I'm happy you're enjoying the race so far!" Eric said as he passed by Jackie and Kin. "Bye guys!", he called out.

"Bye, Eric!" Jackie and Kin shouted.

Meanwhile, at the judging booth, Tracy was getting increasingly impatient.

"HURRY UP HURRY UP HURRY UUUUUUUUUUUP!" Tracy shouted. "GET TO THE FINISH LINE ALREAAAAAAAAAAADYYYYYYYYYYYYY!", she whined.

"What's the rush, Tracy?" Macy wondered.

"I'M SUPER HOT AND SWEATY AND I WANNA GO HOOOOOOOOOOME!" Tracy wailed. Rick then proceeded to put an arm around her.

"There there, Tracy. The race will be over soon." Rick told her.

"Really?" Tracy stopped whining.

"Rick knows so." Rick said.

"Thank you, Rick..." Tracy swooned.

"No problem." Rick told her.

HIKING RACE TRANSITION!

Meanwhile, Eric was running through the Tranquil Town Park. He ran through the bridge, above the hills, and below the dark, spooky forest.

Just then, Kim passed by him.

"Hey, that rhymes!", Eric said, breaking the 4th wall.

I know. Now can we please get back to the story?

"Alright!" Eric said.

As I was saying, as Eric was walking, Kim passed by, running as well.

"Hi, Eric!" Kim said.

"Hey, Kim!" Eric called out, then proceeded to wipe his forehead. "Boy, it sure is hot." he groaned.

"Tell me about it." Kim told Eric. "Man, I wish I had a portable fan like Carrie." she moaned

"Me too. But it'd be best if you didn't. I don't want you getting seriously injured." Eric told her.

"You've got a point there." Kim reminded Eric.

"I really don't want you to get hurt. You're one of the most kind-hearted people I've ever met." Eric told her.

"Awwwww! Thanks, Eric! You're a totally awesome guy yourself!" Kim said.

"*KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMM! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT TALKING TO THE DWEEB?!",* Carrie screamed in the distance. *"ALSO, DID I JUST HEAR YOU SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT HIM?! I HAD BETTER NOT HEAR YOU SAY ANYTHING NICE ABOUT WINANS, OR I WILL GET REALLY MAD!*", she shouted. Kim gulped, realizing she was caught.

"Uhhhhhhh...I-I-I-I-I gotta keep running, I'll see you later!" Kim told Eric.

"Alright! Bye!" Eric called out.

"Byeeeee!" Kim cheerfully said.

"*QUIET, CARRIE! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO RACE?!*" Eric shouted.

"*SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!*" Carrie screamed. "*NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU!*", she shouted.

"I said be quiet, Scarrie Barf! And put that portable fan away *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!*", Eric growled. He has clearly had enough of Carrie.

"*I WILL NEVER PUT THE PORTABLE FAN AWAY!*", Carrie snarled. "*AND STOP CALLING ME THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT!*", she shrieked.

"Shut up! Nobody cares, you stuck-up, shallow rich girl!", Eric shouted angrily. This earned him a death glare from Carrie in response.

Just then, everybody else was almost starting to reach the finish line. Notably Jackie and Kin.

"We're going to reach the finish line!" Kin shouted. "I'm so excited!", he said.

"Me too. But we shouldn't be too excited. Something might happen to slow us down." Jackie told him.

"Oh. Right." Kin remembered.

Eric continued running. Just then, Jack and Carrie passed by him, trying to slow him down by placing obstacles around him.

"*SERIOUSLY, YOU TWO?!*", Eric shrieked. "*STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME GET HURT!*", he shouted.

"Never!" Jack snarled. "We wanna see you cry like a baby!", he taunted.

"Jack, I'm *14*!", Eric shouted. "I'm not being a baby, and I am most certainly not crying like a baby when I lose! That's poor sportsmanship!", he growled.

"*SHUT UP, YOU STUPID LITTLE DWEEB*!" Carrie screamed. "*WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR DORKY, UNPOPULAR FRIENDS!*", she shouted.

"*DORKY?! UNPOPULAR?!*", Eric shrieked. "*YOU TAKE THAT BACK!*", he snarled.

"We will NOT take any of it back, twerp!" Carrie shouted. "It's the truth! You're the most disgusting dweeb ever!", she screamed.

Eric has definitely had enough of Carrie always taunting him and he has definitely had enough of Carrie being vain and spoiled.

"Leave him alone!", a voice called out to Jack and Carrie. The voice was revealed to be Corey.

"Like, what are you doing here, Riffin?" Carrie scoffed.

"I'm here to protect Eric from any danger you guys cause!", Corey shouted. "I've had enough of you guys being mean towards him! Leave him alone *NOW!*", he screamed.

"*NO! WE WILL NOT LEAVE HIM ALONE! CAN'T YOU ACCEPT THE TRUTH THAT WINANS IS A STUPID UGLY DWEEB?!*", Carrie shrieked.

"That's it! I'm leaving!", Eric shouted.

"Good job ignoring them, dude!" Corey told Eric.

"You're welcome." Eric said. "Hey, we're almost at the finish line!" he told Corey.

"You're right! We're gonna win!" Corey happily said.

Just then, Jackie and Kin reached the finish line, as did Corey and Eric. This made Carrie furious.

"*NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I WILL LIKE TOTALLY GET YOU FOR THIS, YOU STUPID LITTLE DWEEB!*", Carrie screamed. She tried to run past them, but tripped. Her portable fan went flying. Eric laughed at what happened.

"5...4...3...2...1" Eric counted down the seconds it took to Carrie to start calling his name out in fury.

"*GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!*" Carrie shrieked as she angrily pulled on her blue hair.

"See this? Now *THIS* is an example of poor sportsmanship!", Eric said. Then, Eric started laughing, making Carrie growl at him in response.

"Well everybody! It's official!" Mayor Swellow shouted. "The winner of the Hike-a-Thon is Grojband!"

"*YES!*" Jackie, Eric and Grojband cheered.

"*WHAT?!*" Tracy shouted. "*GROSSBAND WON?! YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING MEEEEEEEEEEEE!*", she whined.

"It's official, Tracy!" Eric called out. "Grojband won!" he said.

"Can I go now?" Tracy whined.

"Nope! You have to watch me run for 2 hours!" Eric shouted.

"*WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I DON'T WANNA WAIT THAT LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG! I HAVE THINGS TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I DON'T WANNA WAIT THAT LONG I DON'T WANNA WAIT THAT LONG I DON'T WANNA WAIT THAT LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!*" Tracy shrieked. She then jumped in the air in a burst of flames.

Tracy began to write in her diary. Flames came from her pen every time she wrote. Lightning struck a mushroom in the distance. Tracy continued to write in her diary angrily. After she wrote, she returned back to normal and fell down in the chair she was sitting on earlier in the judging booth. Corey then catched Tracy's diary.

"Yes!" Corey shouted. "We finally got lyrics for our latest song without Laney even questioning us!" he said.

"What was that?" Laney angrily said.

"Uhhhh...Nothing!" Corey said nervously. "Sorry!", he apologized.

"That's fine, Core." Laney smiled.

"And Tracy, I was kidding when I said I was gonna run for 2 hours. I just wanted to say that so I could make you mad." Eric said and then burst into a fit of laughter. Tracy then growled while facepalming.

"Come on, Grojband! Let's rock!" Corey shouted as he held an arm around Laney, who blushed in response.

Grojband then got their instruments out and started playing their latest song.

*We're in a hurry, gotta move real fast*

*Running through the streets, no time to last*

*Chasing dreams, leaving it all behind*

*With our guitars, we're gunna blow your mind!*

Everybody in the crowd cheered for the band. Jackie was dancing to the song, and Eric was being chased by an angry Carrie.

"*HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!*" Eric screamed.

"*SHUT UP, YOU STUPID LITTLE DWEEB! NOBODY'S GONNA COME AND SAVE YOU!*" Carrie shrieked.

"*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! HOW DID I EVER GET INTO THIS MESS?!*" Eric shouted.

Jackie realized Eric was in trouble and sprang into action to save him.

*We're the band on the run, can't be contained*

*Gonna rock you hard, leaving hearts ingrained*

*No destination, just the open road ahead*

*Feeding off the energy, we're never gunna be dead!*

Eric was running from Carrie when he saw a dead end in front of him. Eric closed his eyes, knowing he was gonna be dead, but was then caught by Jackie. Carrie then ran into the wall.

"Thank you, Jackie!" Eric said. "You're a hero!"

"You're welcome, Eric." Jackie smiled.

*Rockin' on the run, we're unstoppable*

*Our music's gonna make your heart rumble*

*Catch us if you can, but you'll always be behind*

*We're Grojband, the band that's redefined.*

Grojband did their final notes on their instruments, ending their song. Everybody (except for Tracy, Jack and The Newmans) cheered.

"You guys were awesome!" Jackie shouted.

"Thanks, Jacks!" Corey shouted. "If there's anything we love to do, it's rock the world and make people happy!"

"That's what I like in you guys." Eric said. "You never give up, no matter what problem you face."

"*WINAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS!*" Carrie shouted as she ran towards him. She punched him REALLY HARD.

"Auuugh!" Eric grunted.

"*YOU WERE THE ONE THAT DID ALL OF THIS! YOU MADE ME TRIP AND FALL DOWN AND LOSE MY PORTABLE FAN AND YOU MADE ME CRASH INTO A WALL! YOU'RE LIKE TOTALLY THE WORST PERSON I'VE EVER MET! I HOPE I NEVER SEE YOUR STUPID UGLY FACE AGAIN!*" Carrie shrieked.

"Shut up, Carrie!" Eric shouted. "Nobody cares!"

"He tricked me too!" Tracy whined. "He told me to *WAIT 2 HOURS!*". Carrie gasped and started growling at Eric

"*YOU STUPID LITTLE DWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB!*" Carrie snarled at Eric, startling him in the process.

"That's it!" Tracy said. "I'm going shopping! Who wants to join me?", she asked.

"We do!" The Newmans shouted.

"Ugggggh! Like, I totally *NEED* a shopping spree right now! I'd do *ANYTHING* to get away from that stupid little dweeb!" Carrie whined.

"C-C-C-Carrie, please calm do-" Larry tried to calm Carrie down.

"*I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! WINANS KEEPS MESSING EVERYTHING UP!*" Carrie screamed.

"*I DO NOT!*" Eric shouted.

"*OH SHUT UP YOU STUPID LITTLE DWEEB!*" Carrie shrieked.

"W-w-we'd better go now..." Konnie panicked as she held a tantrum-throwing Carrie.

"Bye, Konnie!" Eric said.

"B-b-bye, Eric!" Konnie said, smiling but still nervous.

"*DON'T TALK TO THE DWEEEEEEEB!*" Carrie shouted as she waved her arms.

"For the last time, I am NOT a dweeb!" Eric screamed.

"*SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU NEXT TIME, I'M GONNA KILL YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!*" Carrie shrieked as she, Konnie and the other Newmans followed Tracy, Macy and Rick Salary over to Tracy's car.

"Ugggggh. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Carrie is such a drama queen." Eric summarized.

"I think we get the memo." Laney said.

"Sorry..." Eric apologized.

"You have nothing to be sorry about." Laney smiled.

"So, what have we learned today, Corey?" Jackie asked.

"Well, today we've learned that if you run for your life, you can achieve your dreams and let your spirit show how much fun you have." Corey said as a spotlight shined above him. "And the more fun you have, the more pumping your body does!"

As the spotlight was gone, Laney raised her hand.

"Yes, Lanes?" Corey said.

"Ummm...what does this have anything to do with the lesson 'winning isn't everything'?" Laney asked.

"Well, if you lose in anything you participate in, you can always focus less on it and more about the things you like to do." Corey told her.

"That's right. Because that's called being a good sport." Eric said. "If you lose in anything, you can say 'good game' and maintain a positive attitude."

"I think we've all learned that important lesson now." Laney remarked.

"That's right!" Corey said. "Say, you guys wanna go swimming in Jackie's backyard? Since it's a hot day, I figured we could all cool off!", he asked.

"I think that's an excellent idea!" Jackie said.

"Yeah!" Eric said.

"Jackie, can you ask your parents if they have any ice cream?" Kon asked her.

"Sure, Kon." Jackie told him.

"Yay!" Kon cheered.

"And Kin, you were a great hiking companion." Jackie said. "You stayed by my side and always held my hand so we didn't get lost. That's the most sweetest thing you've ever done." And Jackie gave Kin a kiss.

"T-T-Thanks Jackie..." Kin blushed.

"You're welcome!" Jackie said.

Kin started swooning and fell to the ground. Luckily, he landed on a soft pillow.

"Can I pick him up?" Kon asked.

"Sure." Eric said.

"Thanks for coming out, everybody!" Corey shouted as he closed the garage door.

While Jackie, Eric and Grojband were in the kitchen, they were preparing to get ice cream from the freezer for their pool party. Just then, Kon saw something at the top shelves.

"Oooooooh...look at this beautiful candy!" Kon went.

"Uhhhh...Kon? What are you doing?" Eric asked.

"I just found this beautiful candy!" Kon said as he showed the jar to Eric.

"Let me read this..." Eric told him as he read all of the labels on the jar. "*HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON! KON, YOU DIDN'T FIND ANY CANDY! YOU FOUND PILLS!*", he panicked.

"Pills? What are those?" Kon asked.

"Well Kon, pills are a small round mass of solid medicine, which means they can only be taken if you're not feeling well. And only a grown-up should be handling those!" Eric told him.

"Ohhhh...are they dangerous?" Kon asked.

"Oh they are! If you take pills too many times in one single day, they can make you really sick!" Eric said. "That's called an overdose! Not to mention, some kinds of medicine are actually drugs!", he told Kon.

"Oh no! I didn't realize what I picked up! I'm sorry, Jackie! I won't do that again!" Kon panicked.

"That's alright, Kon. Just make sure what you're handling is actual food that you can actually eat." Jackie smiled.

"I'll remember that!" Kon said.
