Hypno Birthday To You (Transcript)

This is the 39th episode of Justice Squadron: Comicger

One quiet autumn evening in Petropolis, California, the Comicgers (minus Monica) were helping Stanley, Big Louie, and Monica's family setting up some decorations all over Crystal Comics. The reason was that it was Monica's birthday soon, and everyone wanted to set up something fun for her at the store. Naturally, they wanted it to be a surprise, and everyone decided to keep it a secret. They had all the proper decorations in place, such as balloons, streamers, party hats, and noisemakers of all varieties. Paul was charge of baking the cake for the party, and he invented a machine that he believes could bake the perfect cake for it.\*

Paul: Okay! With this Super Duper Caker Baker I invented, I'm sure I'll bake the perfect cake for Monica's big birthday party. ^^ All we need to do is put in the ingredients, and I'm certain that the cake will come right out of that oven! (points at the oven on the machine)

Big Louie: Okay, Paul. ^^ (reads the ingredient list) Okay, first we need three cups of flour.

Julian: Okay. (fills a cup with flour, and dumps in three cups of it)

Big Louie: Two teaspoons of baking soda!

Aaron: On it! (pours in two teaspoons of baking soda)

Big Louie: A cup of brown sugar. ^^

William: Here ya go.  (dumping in a cup of brown sugar)

Big Louie: Three cups of regular sugar.

Julian: (pouring in three cups of sugar)

Big Louie: Two eggs. ^^

Maple: Got 'em right here. ^^ (cracks two eggs, and drops them in)

Big Louie: Half a teaspoon of cinnamon.

Aaron: (putting in half a teaspoon of cinnamon)

Big Louie: Two cups of milk. ^^

William: (pours in two cups of milk)

Big Louie: Two sticks of butter!

Maple: (puts in two sticks of butter)

Big Louie: Two teaspoons of baking powder!

Aaron: (pouring two teaspoons of baking powder)

Big Louie: And, a pinch of salt.

William: (pinching some salt, and sprinkling it in)

Paul: Okay. Now, all we gotta do is push the bake button, and the cake should pop out flawlessly. ^^ (pushes the bake button, and the machine starts rumbling)

Aaron: Um..... is the machine supposed to rumble like that?

Paul: I don't think so.  Maybe something's off.

\*While that's going on, David and Stanley were helping Monica's parents blow up the balloons for the party, and they think it's a nice gesture that they're doing for Monica.\*

David: I must say it's very nice that we're throwing this surprise party for Monica's birthday. ^^ And, at Crystal Comics, no less.

Mr. Scaleman: Thank you. I'm glad we asked Big Louie if we can throw her a party here after school, and he said yes. I wouldn't think he would want to throw a party at a comic book store.

Mrs. Scaleman: But, since Monica's a very close friend and loyal customer/employee at the store, he decided to pull a few strings here.

David: Well, it's pretty good that he did. ^^ Big Louie's such a generous guy.

Stanley: Of course. And, he's also a good friend of mine as well.

Mr. Scaleman: Of course. If there's anyone who definitely looks after the students of Petropolis High School so much, it's definitely Big Louie. (continues to inflate the balloon he was holding)

\*Meanwhile, Linda and Emily were blowing some balloons as well. How Linda was able to blow some balloons with her mouth covered with a veil is anyone's guess, but she was able to blow them perfectly. However, when Emily blew her balloons, they came out looking like squares rather than circles like the others.\*

Katie: (coming by seeing Emily blowing the square balloons) Emily, that's not how you blow a balloon. (takes one of Emily's balloons to show her how it's done) Here, let me show you how it's done. ^^ (blows the balloon into a perfect round shape) There! A perfectly round shape. ^^ (gives Emily another balloon) Now, you try.

Emily: Okay.  (blows into her balloon, and it turns out to be square again) Is it good, now?

Katie: No. -\_- (sees a longer balloon, and grabs it) Here! Maybe you can have a better time blowing into this one. ^^ (blows into it, and comes out looking like a perfect sausage shape) See? I'm sure it'll be easier for you with this one.  (gives another long balloon to Emily)

Emily: Oh, boy! (blows into the balloon, and it turns into a stack of squares) Weee!!! Making balloons is fun! (holds up her square stack balloon in triumph)

Katie: (giving up) Oh, I give up. -\_\_-

Linda: Well, Katie. You can't suspect too much from this gifted little girl. ^^ (continues blowing into some balloons)

\*Then, the cake-baking machine went bing, and when Paul opened up the oven door to see what the result was, there was a gigantic mess of cake batter running out of the oven, getting Paul, William, Aaron, Maple, Julian, and Big Louie covered in it. It even got on the floor, too. Steve was working on the "Happy Birthday" banner for the party when he saw the mess coming towards it, and was able to use the mop bucket to scoop it up before it got on the banner.\*

Steve: (going over to the cake-baking machine, and turning it off) With all due respect, you guys. Wouldn't it be a lot less messy to just go to the bakery, and order a cake?

Aaron: (wiping the batter of his tuxedo) Actually, that would be a LOT better. This was a new tux, too.

Paul: (feeling disappointed with his cake-baking machine) Well, this is another failure for the junk pile right here. And, to think, I just wanted to make a faster way to bake a cake.

Steve: Well, Paul. No machine that replace the hard work done by anthro hands. Or, whatever kind of appendages we have, depending on the species. ^^

Big Louie: He's got a point, y'know. ^^

Maple: (licking the cake from her face) Well, at least it was a tasty mess. ^^

Paul: Yeah, you're right.

Alyssa: (setting up the streamers) Okay, the streamers look great. ^^ Hopefully, it's enough to surprise the birthday girl on her big day. ^^

William: Me too. It's not every day that a young girl turns eighteen, now do they?

Alyssa: Nope. ^^

Linda: (getting a vision, and sees Monica approaching the store at this very moment) Uh-oh! Speaking of the birthday girl, she's on her way here right now! So, we gotta hurry, and clean all of this up!

Mrs. Scaleman: (gasping) Oh, you're right! C'mon! Let's put all this away before she finds out!

David: Yeah! It'll ruin the surprise if she did! So, let's go!

\*Then, everyone quickly puts everything away, and they cleaned up the mess that the cake-baking machine made. They put all of the decorations in the back room, and threw the machine in the garbage. Then, they all hid in the back room, while Big Louie returns to the desk having his coffee and reading a comic book. Then, Monica walks into the store, and it looks like nothing ever happened to it.\*

Monica: (seeing how empty it looked) Huh? It's like a ghost town in here. (goes over to the front desk) Hey, Big Louie. Why's it so quiet in here?

Big Louie: (sipping his coffee) Oh, it was getting close to closing time. Now, I'm just sitting here, drinking my coffee, reading the latest Comicgers comic. Is there anything that you're looking for?

Monica: Oh, I was just swinging by to pick myself up an early birthday present. Maybe two or more. ^^

Big Louie: Oh, not to worry. Pick up anything that catches your fancy. ^^

Monica: Thanks. (starts going through the store, and starts picking out a couple of things for her birthday) Okay, I think I got a couple things. ^^

\*Monica picked up a new Iron Mutt graphic novel, a He-Mutt Mer-Gator action figure, and a few Pretty Pony Adventures blind bag figures. She used her store discount card to pay for them, and she was ready to head out.\*

Big Louie: Here ya go, kiddo! Happy early birthday!

Monica: Thanks. ^^ (starts heading out the door) Oh, and if you see my friends, tell them that I was just here, okay?

Big Louie: Will do, kiddo. ^^

\*Then, Monica heads out the door with her stuff. Then, everyone comes out of the back room, feeling relieved that she didn't find anything different in the store.\*

David:  That was a close one.

William: We're REALLY glad to have you on board, Linda. ^^

Linda: (blushing) Oh, you're making me blush.

Big Louie: Okay, everyone! We definitely dodged a bullet right there. Information about this party isn't to leave this store! It's best we keep this between ourselves, and keep Monica away from the store until the big surprise!

Katie: You got it, Big Louie!

Julian: We'll keep this a secret until the time is right!

Big Louie: Great! Everyone head home so I can close up for the night. ^^

Stanley: Okay. ^^

Mr. Scaleman: And, we'll be back to continue setting up for the party.

Big Louie: Excellent!

\*Then, everyone starts heading home as Big Louie closes the store for the night. Meanwhile, at Darkanos' fortress, there was something strange going on. The Paraxis were all acting like chickens, clucking and pecking their way down the hallway to the throne room. This was the doing of a monster called Hypno Head, an orange tapir monster with black spirals on his body and pointed shoulders and wearing blue Arabian pants with a yellow belt that has a red triangular buckle with a silver ball above it, a matching blue and yellow turban with a red feather on it, brown pointed shoes, and gold gauntlet-like bracelets. He was fetched by Infafre for Darkanos to use against the Comicgers, although Blaludon was really enjoying what he can do.\*

Blaludon: (amused by what Hypno Head did to the Paraxis) Oh, I just adore what Hypno Head did to the Paraxis, Infafre. ^^

Infafre: I concur. Hypno Head is definitely great fun at parties. ^^

Hypno Head: Oh, yes! Now, let's see how you enjoy being a camel in the desert, Infafre.  (turns his yellow eyes into spirals like on his body, and starts hypnotizing Infafre)

Infafre: (starts getting hypnotized, and starts acting like a camel)

Blaludon:  Oh, this is too much fun. ^^

Darkanos: (coming in to see what was going on) What's going on here?

Blaludon: (seeing Darkanos) Oh, hello, my lord. We were just testing out the new monster that Infafre just fetched for you. Meet Hypno Head, the Master of Hypnotism!

Hypno Head: My powers of hypnosis are at your disposal, my lord. (bows to Darkanos)

Blaludon: (showing Darkanos the hypnotized Paraxis and Infafre) As you can see, the tests were a complete success. ^^ I'm sure we can try the same exact thing with the Comicgers, too. ^^

Darkanos: Oh, yes! And, the timing couldn't be anymore perfect! Because I just heard from Rozoson that Comic Yellow's birthday is coming up soon, and I think we can have Hypno Head pose as a famous hypnotist that her parents might want to hire for her surprise party. After all, Blaludon DID say you were great fun at parties.

Hypno Head: Oh, excellent! What better time to get all the Comicgers at once than at a birthday party? I've even got the perfect disguise right here! (starts to transform into a regular anthro tapir) I'll go disguised as The Amazing Baku, master hypnotist! I'll showcase my hypnosis skills to the public in hopes of drawing the attention of either the Comicgers OR Comic Yellow's parents, and I'll hypnotize them into becoming your slaves for life! It's fullproof!

Darkanos: And, in the case of Comic Yellow's parents, hypnotize them into hiring you for the party so you can get all the Comicgers in one fell swoop.  And, Blaludon is so excited about your abilities, I'll have her go as your assistant.

Blaludon: Excellent idea, my lord! I've got the perfect disguise all ready to go. ^^ (claps her hands, and a couple of Paraxis come out with her disguise, which consists of a teal-colored veil, a teal and black turban with a jewel gem and lime-green feathers on it and a long veil going behind it, a matching teal Arabian outfit with diamond patterns on it, magenta feathered shoulder decorations, gold and silver jewelry, and yellow Arabian shoes) Isn't it beautiful, my lord?

Darkanos: (unimpressed) Charming. And, in case the Comicgers start to get wise to this plan, I'll send Rozoson to try and dispose of them. I just hope that he succeeds this time around.

Blaludon: (taking her disguise from the Paraxis) Same here.

Hypno Head: Don't worry, my lord! Before her birthday is done, the Comicgers will soon be forever in your power! (disappears with Blaludon)

Darkanos: You'd better! (sees Infafre and the Paraxis under Hypno Head's power, and starts enjoying this) Oh, Blaludon was definitely right. Hypno Head IS great fun at parties. ^^ (sits down on his throne, and starts enjoying what he's seeing)

\*The next few days passed, and it was the day of Monica's birthday. The other Comicgers were going about their normal business at school when they saw Monica heading towards them. Keeping the surprise party a secret, they decided to be secretive about it, and not tell her or it would ruin the surprise. Monica was heading for her locker, which they were standing by, and she was looking at them with a look of confusion on her face.\*

Monica: Uh, hey guys.  Is there something you wanna tell me?

David: Uh, no. I don't think so.

Katie: Nah, not really.

Monica: Oh, okay. I was just wondering if you guys remembered that today was my birthday.

Paul: It's your birthday today? Oh, I guess we forgot.

Alyssa: Yeah, sorry, Monica.

Monica: Oh, no. It's okay. I was expecting you guys to do something special for me today. But, I guess not. I guess birthdays DO start to get boring after a couple years.

William: Yeah, we know. Guess the magic's all gone.

Monica: Maybe. But, I'm still hoping for something big to happen to me today. After all, I AM turning eighteen this year.

Paul: Well, I'm sure something amazing would happen. ^^

Monica: Yeah.

\*Then, Gerald and Harold come running down the hallway with flyers for a hypnosis act that's going on at the Petropolis Municipal Park.\*

Gerald: Attention, everyone!!! There's a new hypnosis act that's going on in the park!

Steve: (seeing them running in the halls) BOYS!!!! No running in the halls!

Harold: Sorry.  (starts fast-walking in the halls)

Katie: What are you two trying to say?

Gerald: What we're trying to say is there's a new hypnotist, The Amazing Baku, who just set up a stage in the middle of the park! He's gonna be performing at the park around noon time, so if anyone's planning to head off campus during lunch, come on over!

David: (taking the flyer from Gerald) Hmmmmmmm. He looks pretty familiar.

William: What do you mean, David?

David: I dunno. I can't help but feel like I've seen him before.

William: Well, I've never heard of him before, so maybe it's just you.

David: Whatever.

Paul: Maybe we can come over, and check it out. I'm sure it'll be pretty interesting to see what this guy can do with hypnosis. ^^

Monica: Okay, sure. ^^ It'll make for a good birthday show.

Gerald: And, the best part? It's totally free! So, come see it while you can!

Harold: Yeah! Besides, they're serving ground Brussel sprouts for lunch. Would ya rather sit through THAT instead?

Alyssa: He's got a point, y'know.

Katie: Okay. We'll come along.

Gerald: Great! See you around noon! (starts darting off to deliver more flyers)

Steve: How many times do I gotta tell ya?!? Don't run in the halls!

Gerald: Aw, you worry to much, Mr. Baldwin!

\*Then, Gerald and Harold accidentally slip on a puddle of water from the mop, and they start sliding into the water fountains.\*

Harold: Ouch. X\_X

Steve: See? Someone would get hurt.

Gerald: Okay. We get you, now. (falls face first on the floor)

Monica: Well, there's my first gift for my birthday.

Alyssa: Totally. ^^

\*Then, the Comicgers all laughed as they started heading off to class. Then, around noon time, the Comicgers started making their way to the park to see The Amazing Baku, not knowing that at the same time, Monica's parents were heading there, too, hoping that The Amazing Baku would perform at the party.\*

Mr. Scaleman: I'm telling you, Vanessa! I'm certain that this hypnotist will be perfect for the party!

Mrs. Scaleman: Well, if you insist, Bob. Let's see how good this guy really is before we hire him.

Mr. Scaleman: Okay. ^^

\*At the park, there was a wagon stage that was set up in the middle of the park, which held Hypno Head, Rozoson, and Blaludon (who just getting her disguise on) as they were plotting to use Hypno Head's powers to hypnotize everyone that has arrived to see the show. Rozoson sees Monica's parents arrive at the show before the Comicgers did, and decided to have Hypno Head to hypnotize them first.\*

Rozoson: Ah, perfect! Comic Yellow's parents are here, just as the master said they would. So, let's use Hypno Head's power to hypnotize them first.

Hypno Head: Good! Maybe I can get them to hire me for her birthday party, and then we can get those little brats as well.  And, with my lovely assistant, there's no way I can fail here!

Blaludon: Excellent! ^^ (showing off her disguise) How do I look?

Rozoson: (looking at her veil) Hmmmmmm. You might do us all a favor, Blaludon, and wear that more often. That way, we won't have to look at your ugly features.

Blaludon: (getting angry) Hey! That wasn't very nice! >: (

Rozoson: We're bad guys. What did you expect?

Blaludon:

Hypno Head: We'll have plenty of time to insult one another later! Right now, it's show time!

Blaludon: Alright! Here goes. (starts heading onstage to present The Amazing Baku) Ladies and gentlemen, may I present for the first time... The Amazing Baku!

Hypno Head: (appearing in a puff of smoke in his Amazing Baku disguise)

Everyone: (applauding)

Hypno Head: Thank you all for coming so graciously! Now, it's time to venture into the subconscious mind, and see what dark secrets lie within.  Now, for my first trick, I'll need two volunteers. Any takers?

Gerald + Harold: (anxiously sticking up their hands) PICKUSPICKUSPICKUSPICKUSPICKUSPICKUSPICKUSPICKUS!!!!!!

Hypno Head: (seeing them, and ignoring them) Uh, maybe a pair who isn't so... uh... eager.  (sees Monica's parents) Ah, how about that fine iguana couple over there?

Mrs. Scaleman: (pointing at the two of them) Us?

Hypno Head: Yes, you! C'mon, don't be shy. I promise I won't bite.

Blaludon: (approaching the two of them, and escorting them to the stage) So, c'mon! Greatness awaits!

Mr. and Mrs. Scaleman: (being positioned in front of Hypno Head)

Hypno Head: Who might you two be?

Mr. Scaleman: Well, I'm Bob Scaleman, former chemical scientist turned crafts maker. And, this is my wife, Vanessa. ^^

Mrs. Scaleman: Our oldest daughter's birthday is today, and we were wondering if you could perform at this surprise party we're holding for her. Just don't tell her, though.

Hypno Head: Oh, that would be grand! In fact, I was planning on it right now! (starts turning his eyes into spirals, and begins to hypnotize them) But, first, let's get on with the show, shall we?

Mr. Scaleman: (impressed with the spirals) Hey, that's a neat looking hypnosis trick. ^^ How do you do that?

Hypno Head: Just a trick I learned. Now, hold still.  (starts hypnotizing them)

\*Then, the Scalemans start to get swirls in their eyes, and start to succumb to Hypno Head's power.\*

Hypno Head: Now, listen to me VERY carefully. I want you to take me to wherever the party is being held, and sign me up as entertainment to it. Understand?

Mr. and Mrs. Scaleman: Yes, master. (start heading to Crystal Comics)

Hypno Head: Now, I must follow those two to the destination! My assistant will keep you all entertained until I return! (starts following the Scalemans to Crystal Comics)

Blaludon: (coming on stage, and tries to think of some way to distract the audience) Uh, okay. Who likes balloon animals?  (pulls out a balloon, blows it up, and starts making an animal out of it) Look! It's a moray eel!

Audience: (groaning at this)

Gerald: Man, what a rip off! I wanna refund!

\*Meanwhile, as the Comicgers were about to enter the park, they noticed that Hypno Head was following Monica's parents as they were leading him to Crystal Comics. That was when Steve started to get suspicious.\*

Steve: Hey, kids! Isn't that The Amazing Baku following Monica's parents?

Monica: (seeing her parents) What?!? What're my parents doing here?

Alyssa: (whispering to Paul) I guess they wanted to hire him to perform at Monica's party.

Paul: We can't let her know about the party! C'mon!

\*Then, the Comicgers start heading towards Hypno Head and Monica's parents, only to be stopped by Rozoson and a couple of Paraxis.\*

Comicgers: ROZOSON!!!!

Rozoson: Going somewhere, you little twerps?

David: Yeah! Monica's parents are leading The Amazing Baku somewhere, and we gotta make sure they don't take him there!

William: In other words, we have no time to deal with you right now, so outta the way!

Rozoson: On the contrary, I'm hoping that you don't stop what's going on! And, my bug-brained minions and I will make sure of that! (draws his spear) ATTACK!!!

\*Then, the Paraxis draw their laser spears, and start attacking the Comicgers.\*

Comicgers: (holding up their Comic Turners as they convert to their original forms) Comic Powers!

Steve: (pushing a button on his Liberty Turner) Liberty Powers!

Comicgers: Turn On! (flick the on switch on their Comic Turners, and morph into their Ranger forms)

\*Then, the Comicgers draw their Sketch Weapons, and start fighting with the Paraxis and Rozoson. David was slashing his Sketch Blade at the Paraxis as they came at him with their laser spears, when suddenly Rozoson thrusts his spear at him, which he blocked with his blade. The two of them started trading blows with their weapons, and Steve starts coming in to lend David a hand.\*

Rozoson: Two against one? That doesn't seem so fair, in my opinion!

David: Well, unfair to you, but fair enough for us. ^^ (throws a side kick at Rozoson)

Steve: Now, hold still, so we can smack you properly!  (throws a right hook at Rozoson)

\*Then, the three of them kept fighting while the other Comicgers dealt with the Paraxis. William and Paul were dealing with some Paraxis near the park entrance. William was using his Sketch Hammer to smack a couple of Paraxis away from Paul as he uses his Sketch Escrimas to trip some more Paraxis that were coming towards them. Meanwhile, the girls were dealing with a couple of Paraxis in the streets. As she was firing a couple of Paraxis with her Sketch Bow, Monica believed that she may have gotten the worst birthday gift ever.\*

Monica: Man, this has gotta the absolute worst birthday present I ever got.

Katie: (throwing her Sketch-A-Rangs at a couple of Paraxis) Aw, c'mon! It can't be THAT bad!

Alyssa: (thrusting her Sketch Trident at some Paraxis) Yeah! That dumb pink dress we got you for your thirteenth birthday was probably a LOT worse! (does a spinning crescent kick at an incoming Paraxi)

Monica: Yeah! It probably WAS worse.  (elbows an incoming Paraxi in the stomach)

\*Then, the girls continued using their Sketch Weapons to defeat the Paraxis. Meanwhile, David and Steve were still dealing with Rozoson, and he starts breathing fire at the two of them. They both quickly backflipped out of the way, and continued charging towards Rozoson with their weapons.\*

David: (starting to notice something) I don't know what it is, Rozoson. But, for some reason, I think you might have something to do with this whole hypnosis act, don't you?

Steve: Yeah! (throwing a crescent kick at Rozoson) That strange looking tapir following Monica's parents somewhere? That sounds pretty suspicious to me!

Rozoson: So what? (slashes his spear down at them) Even if we're involved with this, it'll be too late by the time you got to Crystal Comics to stop them!

Steve: Crystal Comics?!? (uses his Holo-Shield to block the strike from Rozoson's spear) David, you head over to Crystal Comics asap! I'll deal with this overgrown teddy bear!

David: You got it, Steve. (punches Rozoson out of the way)

\*David then runs off to Crystal Comics as Steve continues fighting with Rozoson. At Crystal Comics, everything was going swell. Big Louie was baking a few birthday cupcakes for the party with his Kwik-E Bake Oven, and Maple was maintaining everything in the store while helping customers look for what they were looking for. Then, Monica's parents came in, and walked pretty awkwardly towards the front desk, with Hypno Head following them.\*

Big Louie: Ah, Bob, Vanessa! Got any news for the big surprise party tonight? (notices the spirals in their eyes) Is there something wrong with your eyes?

Mr. Scaleman: No, Big Louie, we're fine. In fact, we have found the entertain for the party tonight. (shows him Hypno Head) This is The Amazing Baku, master hypnotist!

Hypno Head: Hello, Mr. Big Louie! I can't help but overhear that you're throwing a party at this fine store, and they say I'm great fun at parties.

Mrs. Scaleman: Oh, yes. He's a master of his craft, and he will make everyone bow to him quickly.

Big Louie: Bow to him? What do you mean?

Hypno Head: Look me in the eyes, and I'll show you. (starts turning his eyes into spirals, and begins to hypnotize Big Louie)

Maple: (looking at Hypno Head, and then at a previous issue of Comicgers on the back issues shelf, and notices something off about the Scalemans' visitor) Oh, no! (starts running to the front desk) DON'T LOOK, BIG LOUIE!!! (leaps over the desk, and ducks Big Louie down)

Big Louie: Maple? What did you...??

Maple: Sorry, Big Louie! But, I don't think that's a real hypnotist! I think it might be one of Darkanos' monsters, Hypno Head, in disguise! He must've hypnotized Monica's parents to become Darkanos' slaves!

Big Louie: Are you certain of that?

\*Then, David comes in to see if everything was okay.\*

David: Is everyone alright? Because I hear there's potential monster activity here in this area!

Maple: (points at Hypno Head) I think I may have found it, Comic Red! I think this tapir hypnotized these fine people into becoming Darkanos' slaves!

Hypno Head: And, since you're here, Comic Red, I'm gonna do the same exact thing to everyone in this store! (starts using his hypnotic powers to hypnotize everyone in the store)

Maple: (closing her eyes) Shield your eyes, Big Louie!! (puts her hand over Big Louie's eyes)

David: (covering his eyes as well, and seeing that everyone except for Maple and Big Louie were under Hypno Head's control)

Everyone: All hail Darkanos! All hail Darkanos!

David: This can't be good!

Hypno Head: (shedding his disguise, and converting back to his monster form) Hahahahaha! I have you now, Comicger! Seize him, my servants!!!

\*Then, everyone, including Monica's parents, starting coming towards David in hopes of capturing him. Meanwhile, Maple and Big Louie sneak off into the back room so that Big Louie can get to safety, and Maple can morph without getting spotted.\*

David: (trying to get the people to stop coming at him) Alright, people! I don't wanna hurt you! It's Hypno Head that's making you come at me!

Hypno Head: Save your breath, Comic Red! Only I can control their actions, now! There's nothing you can do!

Maple: (coming out of the back room already morphed) Wanna bet? (leaps forward with a leaping side kick at Hypno Head)

Hypno Head: (falling over) Ugh! (turns around to see Maple) Oh, good! Another Comicger! Two for the price of one!

Maple: Sorry, but I'm not for sale! (starts fighting with Hypno Head)

\*As Maple and Hypno Head were fighting, everyone was getting closer and closer to David, and he was starting to get worried.\*

David: C'mon, people! I'm not the enemy!!! Please!! Snap out of it!!! (snaps his fingers)

\*Just like that, everyone in the store returned to normal, even Monica's parents. They all looked around to see what was going on, and then got out of the way as Maple was fighting with Hypno Head.\*

Mrs. Scaleman: Wait a minute! Is that thing The Amazing Baku?!?

Mr. Scaleman: No wonder he was so good at hypnotism. He's a hypnosis monster!

David: That's Hypno Head, from Comicgers Issue #64! Now, I want everyone to exit the store immediately so we can take care of him!

Mr. Scaleman: Don't have to tell me twice! C'mon, honey! (takes his wife's hand, and leaves the store)

\*Then, everyone else leaves the store as David and Maple continue to deal with Hypno Head. After fighting with him for a bit, David kicks Hypno Head into a rack of T-shirts, and he falls down, and knocks it over.\*

Hypno Head: Alright! You may have broken my control over them for now, Comic Red! But, mark my words, you and the rest of your multicolored friends WILL be mine! (disappears from the store)

David: Drat! He got away! (comes over to Maple) You okay, Maple?

Maple: I'm fine! And, so's Big Louie. I had him go and check on the cake that's being baked for the party at the bakery. So, he's okay, too. ^^

David: Great! I had a feeling that this whole hypnosis performance was all a trick from Darkanos. The others are dealing with Rozoson and a couple of Paraxis outside the park where his little show was being held!

Maple: Then, c'mon! We gotta get over to the park, and make sure everyone's okay!

David: Right! Let's go!

\*Then, David and Maple leave the store, after Maple put the "We're Closed" sign on the door, and head back to the park to help the others out. At the park, the others have just defeated the last of the Paraxis, and Steve has just landed a good jumping front kick on Rozoson, knocking him to the ground.\*

Rozoson: (getting back up) Ooooooooooh. I must say, your fighting skills have greatly improved, you little twerps! But, the stronger you get, the more riled up I feel. I'll be back for you! (disappears in flames)

Steve: Heh. Serves him right.

\*Then, David and Maple return with the others to see how they're doing.\*

Katie: Is everything alright back at Crystal Comics?

David: They are now, Katie. But, it turns out The Amazing Baku was actually Hypno Head, from Comicgers Issue #64. I guess Darkanos must've sent him to hypnotize everyone into capturing us.

Maple: He did just that to Monica's parents. They came to Crystal Comics looking pretty funny.

Monica: What the...? So that means... (realizes something) This whole hypnosis act in the park was a set-up! C'mon! We gotta put a stop to that show!

\*Then, the Comicgers all went into the park to put a stop to the show that was going on. However, things weren't going so well at that show, as Blaludon was doing all sorts of lackluster stunts that were boring the audience. She was spinning a couple of spinning plates in hopes of keeping them entertained, but she seems to be doing a terrible job at it, since everyone was starting to grow tired from all this.\*

Gerald: Well, this was a total letdown.

Harold: Yeah. Let's head back to school.

\*Gerald and Harold start heading back to school, and everyone else decided to leave the show and carry on with their lives. At the same time, the Comicgers arrived, and decided to unveil Blaludon.\*

Alyssa: (seeing her horrible attempt at being entertaining) Oh, brother. If this was meant to be a set-up, it's not really that effective.

William: Yeah! (steps up on the stage, and pulls off Blaludon's veil and turban) Nice try, Blaludon. But, we're onto your master's plan this time.

Blaludon: Oh, shoot! And, I thought I was doing a good job at it, too.

Paul: Well, the lack of an audience tells us otherwise.

Blaludon: But, don't think this is over, Comicgers! You WILL be ours one day! (throws down a smoke bomb, and disappears off the stage)

William: (coughing from the smoke) Man, I've always hated those things.

Maple: Well, I don't mind them.

Steve: That's only because your daughter trained with ninjas, Maple.

David: (getting a buzz on his Comic Turner, and answering it) Hey, Dad! You'll never guess who Darkanos sent to try and take over the city THIS time.

Stanley: "I know, David! He sent Hypno Head to try and hypnotize you into surrendering yourselves to Darkanos. You and the others better head back to the studio, and I can fill you all in better. Not to mention, I've been adding something to your Astro Gold Armor that could help you defeat him."

David: Okay, Dad! We're on our way! (cuts the feed) C'mon, guys! Dad's probably got something that could help us!

Monica: Oh, good. ^^ I could use something awesome on my birthday.

\*The Comicgers then made their way back to the studio so they can learn more about Hypno Head. When they returned and de-morphed, they were able to tell Stanley what just happened, and David even told him that he discovered a way to break his hold over the people he's hypnotized. All he did was snap his fingers, and Hypno Head's power over them was broken.\*

Stanley: Of course! Snapping fingers! It's a pretty common way to break people out of hypnosis trances, and end the act. I'm really glad I incorporated that into the issue he came from.

David: Yeah. I sorta found that out by accident.

William: Well, that explains how to free everyone from his power, but how do we prevent him from hypnotizing future victims?

Stanley: That I'm still trying to find out. But, I do know how we can stop him from hypnotizing US, though. (goes over to his desk, and shows them some updates he's been working on with the Astro Gold Armor) Once you kids go into Astro Gold Armor mode, the visors will be equipped with a special feature that allows you to be safe from any psychic-based powers, including hypnosis. This should help you kids when you face off against Hypno Head again, since he targets the eyes when he hypnotizes his foes.

Paul: Oh, that would be great, Mr. Chippendale. ^^

Steve: But, what about me and Maple? There's a high chance that Hypno Head might try to target US, too.

Stanley: Well, Steve. I can update those drawings so the suits could have the same feature in their visors. Same for you and the others, Alyssa.

Alyssa: Okay, great.

Stanley: Now, this might take a while, so why don't you take this time to try and figure out how to nullify Hypno Head's hypnotic powers. (goes back to his desk to update his drawings of the extra Ranger forms, giving them hypnosis-proof visors)

Monica: (feeling a little disappointed with how her birthday's turning out) Well, I'm glad today's starting to turn around, but I can't help but think that this birthday have mine has been a real bummer. Heck, it seems that my family has even forgotten themselves. So much for having a loving and supporting family.

Katie: (giving Monica some support) Ah, c'mon, Monica. Don't be like that. At least WE remembered your birthday. ^^

Steve: Katie's right, Monica. From my time in the army, I've learned that my teammates are just as much a family to me as any blood relative. It comes from the strong bounds that are formed during the time spent on the force together. So, in a way, the Comicgers are basically like a family. ^^

Monica: Yeah, I guess you're right. But, it still would've been nice to at least get a cake of sorts.

Maple: (remembering something) Well, I HAVE seen Big Louie baking some cupcakes in his Kwik-E Bake oven. And, he was able to give me a few of them before Hypno Head came to Crystal Comics. (pulls out a Ziploc bag full of cupcakes that Big Louie baked) And, naturally, they're banana-flavored, so enjoy. ^^

Monica: Oh, sweet! ^^ (takes a cupcake as the others take a cupcake as well)

David: Feeling better, Monica? ^^

Monica: (biting into her cupcake) Yeah. But, these cupcakes are even better because I get to have them with my friends, who are also like my family, too.

Katie: Great! (starts whispering to Maple) Party still on?

Maple: Oh, yeah!

Monica: (hearing that) What was that?!?

Katie + Maple: (still keeping the party a secret) Nothing!!!

Monica: (getting suspicious) Yeah, that's what I thought.

Alyssa: (reading through Issue #64 for a way to stop Hypno Head's hypnotic powers, and eventually finds it) Oh my God! I can't believe we didn't discover this sooner!

Paul: What is it, Alyssa?

Alyssa: There's a big silver ball on Hypno Head's belt which pretty much acts as the source of his powers. If we strike at it, and shatter it into a million pieces, it might diminish his powers, giving us a chance to beat him!

Steve: Great, Alyssa! But, which one of us should have the honor of doing so?

Monica: (volunteering herself) I'LL do it, guys! It's my birthday, and I think I should be the one to do it! And, I'm sure you guys would agree with me, right?

David: Well, I would think so. ^^

Katie: Yeah, sure. ^^ Let her have it.

Monica: Aw, thanks, guys. ^^

Stanley: (coming to the Comicgers after finishing the updates to Comic Liberty and Comic Platinum) There! Now, Steve and Maple can help defeat Hypno Head without having to worry about being hypnotized. ^^

Maple: Oh, sweet-sauce!

Steve: Thanks, Mr. Chippendale! This is definitely going to help us out. ^^

Alyssa: What about ME, Mr. Chippendale?

Stanley: I'm still working on yours, Alyssa, as well as Aaron, Miranda, and Julian, too. So, only seven of the Comicgers have this safeguard for the time being.

Alyssa: Oh, okay.

\*Then, the alarm goes off, indicating that Hypno Head is back, causing more trouble in Petropolis.\*

Stanley: Ah, not a moment to soon! (goes over to the tracking system, and brings up an image of Hypno Head, Rozoson, and Blaludon were causing trouble in uptown Petropolis) It seems our trio of trouble-making hypnotists are back, and Hypno Head is back to his old hypnosis tricks again!

David: No worries, Dad! We'll put an end to that stupid tapir once and for all!

Monica: Yeah! No way he's ruining my big day any further! (holds up her Comic Turner) Ready, guys?

David, William, Paul, Katie, Steve, and Maple: (holding up theirs) Ready!

Alyssa: Don't worry about me, guys! I'll stay here, and contact Aaron, Linda, and Julian to help us out soon. ^^

David: Okay, great! 'Cause we could sure use their help!

Comicgers: Comic Turners, activate! (the Comic Turners convert to their original forms) Comic Powers!

Steve: (pushing a button on his Liberty Turner) Liberty Powers!

Maple: (flicking the on switch on her Platinum Turner) Platinum Powers!

Comicgers: Turn On! (flicking the on switch on their Comic Turners, and morphing into their Ranger forms)

\*Then, Stanley brings the Sketch Cycles, Steve's ATV, and the Platinum 3-Wheeler to life, and the Comicgers get on them. They start lowering down into the main building's garage, and start revving up the engines.\*

Comicgers: Let's motor! (start driving their Sketch Cycles out of the garage and into the city)

\*At the uptown area of Petropolis, Hypno Head has hypnotized a lot of people into doing a bunch of silly things, like dancing ballet, acting like pirates, bawling like babies, clucking like chickens, etc. He and the other villains were greatly enjoying Hypno Head's display of his powers, but they were mostly doing it to draw out the Comicgers so they can hypnotize them as well.\*

Hypno Head: Oh, yes!!! Look at all those poor saps succumb to my power! I'm quite proud of myself. ^^

Rozoson: (laughing as well) Oh, yes!  But, remember, we're doing this just to draw the Comicgers into the open, and then, we'll have them in our clutches!

Hypno Head: Yeah, I know. But, can a monster have some fun as well?

Rozoson: Well, I suppose.

\*Then, the Comicgers all pull up on their Sketch Cycles, and they got off to confront the bad guys.\*

David: Show's over, Hypno Head! Time to pack up your bag of tricks, and head back to the comics where you belong!

Maple: Yeah! What he said!

Hypno Head: Not until I have you at my mercy! In fact, I'll do that right now! (starts to hypnotize the Comicgers)

Paul: This is it, you guys! He's starting to hypnotize us!

David: C'mon! Let's pull a fast one on him!

Comicgers: Astro Gold! Turn On! (pressing down on their Comic Turners, and the Astro Gold Armor appears on them)

\*And, just like that, when Hypno Head's hypnotic powers reach the Comicgers, it bounces right off of them. The hypnosis-proof features that Stanley put on the visors was a huge success.\*

Hypno Head: Hey! My powers just bounced off of them! What happened?

Monica: Well, Mr. Chippendale gave us a sweet feature on our visors that allows us to block any psychic abilities from getting to our heads! That means that your little hypnosis trick has no effect on us anymore!

Steve: That's right! You're finished, buddy!

Rozoson: Well, in that case, we'll have to take you all back to Darkanos by force! PARAXIS, ARISE!!!!!

\*A couple of Paraxis materialize in front of the bad guys.\*

Rozoson: ATTACK!!!

\*The Paraxis drew their laser spears, and start attacking the Comicgers.\*

Comicgers: (drawing their laser spears, and start charging at the Paraxis)

\*As they started fighting the Paraxis, Steve activates his Holo-Shield, and starts fighting with Rozoson, who was attacking at him with his spear. Maple also draws her Platinum Rifle, and starts fighting with Hypno Head as Blaludon watches everything from the sidelines. David was thrusting his spear at the Paraxis that were coming at him, and dodging their laser blasts as they fired at him. He was then joined by William, who started firing a few blasts from his laser spear at the Paraxis.\*

David: Thanks very much, Will!

William: No prob. ^^ It's always good to count on your friends. ^^ (throws a spinning roundhouse kick at an incoming Paraxi)

\*Meanwhile, Paul was dodging a few blasts from the Paraxis' laser spears, and starts tripping a few more of them as they started getting close to him. Katie was swinging her spear around, and thrusting into a couple more Paraxis before they even tried to shoot at her with their laser spears. Then, Monica was whacking her way through some Paraxis as she was making her way to Hypno Head to help Maple out and to destroy the silver ball on Hypno Head's belt, diminishing his powers.\*

Monica: Hang on, Maple! I'm coming to lend you a hand!

Maple: Oh, thanks Monica. (throws a low hook at Hypno Head's stomach, knocking him back a bit)

Hypno Head: Nice shot! But, can you handle a little swordplay?  (draws a Scimitar in his right hand, and starts swinging it at Monica and Maple)

\*Monica and Maple quickly dodge the sword swing, and start fighting back at Hypno Head. Monica uses her spear to block the strikes from Hypno Head's Scimitar, and starts beating him with the blunt end once she sees an opening. Maple then uses her Platinum Rifle to shoot at Hypno Head, but he uses his Scimitar to deflect the shots. This made Maple change her strategy, and starts coming at him with a jumping side kick. Hypno Head then throws a roundhouse kick at her, and she ducks, allowing Monica to strike at him with her spear.\*

Hypno Head: Too bad I couldn't perform at your birthday party, Monica! I'm great fun at parties, y'know!

Monica: Well, even if I DID have a party today, I still wouldn't let you perform there!

Maple: (in deep thought) "Uh-oh! She's starting to get wise!"

Monica: Now, hold still, you crazy orange weirdo! (starts charging at Hypno Head with her spear) Astro Gold Laser Spear! Power Up! (powering up the laser spear) Ready! Aim! FIRE!!!! (fires a blast of yellow energy at the silver ball on Hypno Head's belt, destroying it, and sending him flying backwards)

\*Upon the ball's destruction, everyone that Hypno Head had hypnotized had returned to normal, and started running to safety from the attack. Meanwhile, Steve was blocking the blows from Rozoson's spear with his Holo-Shield, and then hits him with it, and throws it at him, knocking him into a nearby bench.\*

Rozoson: Curse you, Comic Liberty!

Steve: When will you ever get it through your thick skull, Rozoson? I'm always gonna beat you!

Rozoson: Grrrrr. (sees Hypno Head running towards him)

Hypno Head: Bad news, Rozoson! Comic Yellow destroyed the source of my hypnotic powers! Now, everyone's free from my clutches!

Rozoson: Oh, those brats are gonna pay for this!

Blaludon: (joining up with them) Here, let me help you with that, Rozoson! (blows one of her magic kisses at Hypno Head, making him grow)

Hypno Head: Oh, yes! Now, let's put the whole world in a trance!

Rozoson: (turning to Steve) Have fun, Comic Liberty! (disappears with Blaludon back to the fortress)

Steve: Uh, kids! Looks like we got big trouble!

David: (seeing how big Hypno Head got) I'll say we do!

Alyssa: (arriving, already morphed, with Aaron, Linda, and Julian, who were also morphed) Hey, guys! Mr. Chippendale put the finishing touches on our visors! Now, we can't get hypnotized by Hypno Head, either!

Monica: Great! But, I already destroyed the source of his powers, so you won't have to worry about that. ^^

Alyssa: Oh, okay. ^^

Aaron: We came as soon as Mr. Chippendale told us. Do you need extra Action Vehicle power?

David: We sure do! (contacts Stanley) Dad, send ALL the Action Vehicles!

Stanley: On it, son! (uses the gemstone on his pencil to bring all the Action Vehicles to life)

David: (seeing the Action Vehicles arrive) Thanks, Dad! (cuts the feed) C'mon, guys! Let's go!

\*Then, the Comicgers leap into the Astro Gold Flyers, while Maple gets into the Platinum Rider, Steve gets into the Liberty Eagle Mech, and the others get into the Auxiliary Mechs.\*

David: Astro Red Alpha, standing by!

William: Astro Blue Beta, standing by!

Paul: Astro Green Gamma, standing by!

Monica: Astro Yellow Delta, standing by!

Katie: Astro Pink Epsilon, standing by!

Steve: Liberty Eagle Mech, soaring to great heights!

Maple: Platinum Rider, burnin' rubber!

Aaron: Comic Howitzer, locked and loaded!

Linda: Comic Gyro, spinnin' right round!

Alyssa: Comic Mariner, diver down!

Julian: Comic Nitro, hittin' the gas!

David: Okay, guys! Let's show this bozo what FOUR Robos can do.

\*Then, the Comicgers start forming the Astro Gold Space Robo while they were remotely controlling the other Action Vehicles to form the Action Comic Robo. As Maple forms the Platinum Rider Robo, Steve, Aaron, Alyssa, Linda, and Julian merge the Auxiliary Mechs with the Liberty Eagle Mech, and formed the Liberty Comic Robo.\*

Hypno Head: (seeing four Robos outnumbering him) Four against one, huh? But, I STILL like my odds! (draws his Scimitar, and starts slashing away at the four Robos)

\*As he did so, he was able to get a good hit on the PRR, but only to get punched in the face by the ACR. Then, the LCR tries using the Comic Howitzer to blast at Hypno Head, but he quickly dodges the blast, and knee kicks it in the stomach. He then slashes his Scimitar at the AGSR, who has its Astro Gold Twin Blades in hopes of gaining the upper hand on him.\*

Paul: Well, let's try fighting with him blade-to-blade!

David: Yeah! Let's see if the Action Comic Robo can remotely use the Comic Sword against him, too.

Paul: I'll give it a try! (inputs the code for the Comic Sword on the Action Comic Robo)

\*Then, the Comic Sword appears in the ACR's hands, and it starts fighting with Hypno Head as he thrusts his Scimitar at it. As the ACR was helping the ASGR fight with Hypno Head, the PRR draws its Twin Platinum Blasters, and starts shooting at Hypno Head.\*

Maple: Let's see how you like a little Platinum Power!  (continues blasting at him)

Hypno Head: Well, well. Don't you know that you shouldn't bring a gun to a knife fight? (slashes his Scimitar at the PRR)

\*Just then, the LCR activates its Liberty Axe, and begins slashing away at Hypno Head. He tries to block it with his Scimitar, but it was too much for him.\*

Steve: Well, then. How about an axe? Does that count?

Julian: I'm pretty sure it does.

Aaron: Okay, enough small-talk! Let's put an end to this madness!

\*Then, the LCR continues slashing the Liberty Axe at Hypno Head, and he keeps blocking with his Scimitar. He then gets knocked back from the Liberty Axe, and tries to kick the LCR in the stomach as he tries to get back up.\*

Alyssa: Okay! What do you say we send this hypno freak back to the comics?

Steve: Great idea! Monica, care to do the honors since it's YOUR birthday?

Monica: It'd be my pleasure, Steve.  Let's do it, guys!

David, William, Katie, and Paul: Right!

\*Then, the AGSR starts flying up into the sky.\*

Comicgers: Twin Astro Gold Blades! Final Attack!

\*Then, the AGSR starts flying down as the Twin Blades start glowing a bright gold glow. It spins around to perform its final attack, and as it comes back down to the ground, it slashes through Hypno Head, slicing him right down the middle.\*

Hypno Head: AUGH!!! Well, I guess it wasn't a case of mind over matter! (falls down and explodes, sending his spirit back to the comics)

\*Back at Crystal Comics, Big Louie was getting everything set up for the surprise party, when Hypno Head's spirit finds a copy of Issue #64 in the back issues shelf of the store, and gets zapped back into it. Big Louie sees it, but wasn't sure what was going on.\*

Big Louie: Huh? What was that? (thinking it's nothing) I guess planning this party is REALLY starting to get to me. Well, I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end. ^^ (continues getting everything set up for the party)

\*Back at Darkanos' fortress, Darkanos was really mad that Hypno Head has been defeated by the Comicgers, but was greatly disappointed that he really enjoyed his hypnosis powers.\*

Darkanos: Blast it all! Those twerps have, once again, defeated one of my monsters! And, it's too bad, too, since Hypno Head was great fun at parties, too.

Rozoson: I know! His powers were fun while it lasted. But, unfortunately, that means Infafre might be back to his boring old self, again.

Darkanos: True. But, next time, the monster better be a doozy! (starts walking off) Ugh. Those twerps are getting more powerful every week. But, next time, they won't be so fortunate! (clenches his fist in anger, causing it to glow purple)

\*Later that night, Monica gets a text on her phone to go directly to Crystal Comics for something urgent.\*

Monica: Something came up at Crystal Comics? Well, I guess I might as well head there. Not like there's anything else going on today.

\*She then leaves her house, and starts making her way to Crystal Comics. Once she got there, the inside was very dark, but the sign said that it was open. The door was unlocked, too, so she let herself in, seeing how dark it was in the store.\*

Monica: Man, why is it so dark in here? Did Big Louie forget to pay the electric bill for this place?

\*Just then, the lights came back on, and everyone inside jumped out to surprise her on her birthday.\*

Everyone: SURPRISE!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MONICA!!!!

Monica: (taken aback by the surprise) WHOA!!!! I knew you guys wouldn't forget my birthday! Why didn't you tell me you were planning me a party this whole time?

David: (wearing a party hat) Well, then it wouldn't be surprise, now would it?  (puts a party hat on Monica's head)

Steve: And, you have your own parents to thank for setting all this up. ^^

Monica: (approaching her parents) Aw, Mom. Dad. You shouldn't have.

Mr. Scaleman: We know, sweetie! We just wanted you to feel special once you turn eighteen. ^^

Mrs. Scaleman: (getting teary eyed) And, I can't believe my daughter's all grown up.

Monica: Mom, please.

Paul: Also, Monica. I made a contraption that would bake a perfect cake for you, but it sorta backfired on us. So, I threw it out, and got you this from the bakery. ^^

\*Then, Aaron and Julian pull out a cake that had Monica's face on it covered in vanilla icing, and topped with whipped cream iguana spines.\*

Aaron: We couldn't find any strawberries to top the cake with, so we had to use orange slices instead.

Monica: (feeling satisfied with the cake) You know, what? I think it looks great! ^^ Thanks, guys.

Stanley: Also, Monica. I have something special to give you. And, it can be shared with your friends, too. (pulls out seven passes for New York Comic Con) Free passes to New York Comic Con this year. I'll be hosting a panel there, so I figured you and the others would like to come along. ^^

Monica: (taking the passes and feeling excited) Oh, wow!!! You got me and the others passes for New York Comic Con?!? THIS IS THE GREATEST GIFT EVER!!!!

David: That's great, Monica!

William: Yeah! I've always wanted to go to Comic-Con, and now, with these passes, we can!

Monica: Thanks, Mr. Chippendale. (gives Stanley a big hug) You've made this birthday so worthwhile for me. ^^

Stanley: (hugging her back) Well, you're welcome.

Maple: Okay, enough with the mushy stuff! LET'S PARTY!!!! (blows an air horn)

\*Then, everyone starts partying and having a good time. Just then, Gerald and Harold come in through the back door, carrying the cake baking machine that Paul threw out, thinking that it's some sort of device that can help them unlock the secrets of the Comicgers' true identities.\*

Gerald: Hey, everyone! Look what we found in the dumpster outside! It's the key to finding out who the Comicgers truly are!

Katie: Uh, guys, we're trying to have a party here! We don't have time for this!

Alyssa: Yeah!

Paul: And, besides, that's my failed cake-baking machine! I doubt it contains the secrets to the Comicgers' true identities.

Gerald: Zip it, Paul! You're just jealous that we're about to be famous! Now, let's see what's inside.

Harold: Okay. (starts opening the oven door)

Big Louie: DON'T OPEN THAT DOOR, YOU TWO!!!

\*Then, as Harold opens the door, the cake batter comes oozing back out at them, covering the whole store with the stuff. As it slid towards the cake, Linda decides to give Monica some napkins.\*

Linda: Here, Monica. You might need these.

Monica: Why would I need napkins f...

\*Then, as Gerald and Harold try to find their footing, Harold goes falling headfirst into the cake, causing it to go flying at Monica, and then landing on her head, covering her with frosting.\*

Monica: (looking at Linda) You could've just told me that the cake was heading towards me.

Linda: Sorry.

Big Louie: Well, I hope you two are happy. You just made a mess of this place, again. (gives them a couple of mops) And, after you clean this up, we might treat you to some ice cream.

Harold: Sounds good to me. ^^ (starts mopping immediately)

Gerald: Ugh. The price we gotta pay for a shot at fame. (starts mopping with Harold)

Katie: (approaching Monica) Sorry about the cake, Monica. But, at least we got cupcakes.

Monica: (shrugging it off) Ah, it's fine, guys. ^^ Birthdays are about celebrating with those you care about, not presents and cake. C'mon, let's keep on partying!

Katie: Okay! ^^

Monica: (tasting the cake on her face) Mmmmmmmm. At least it's my favorite flavor.

\*Then, Monica and Katie join back up with their friends, and they continued partying with their friends and family.\*

THE END
