(^=Coughing sounds)

(SOL)

(The android is all repaired, but she is not moving)

TOM: Why isn't she moving?

BRIAN: Maybe I need to push something.

CROW: Let me try.

(CROW is about to touch her "upper attachments" when BRIAN grabs him)

BRIAN: NO!

CROW (disappointed): Okay.

(Then BRIAN sees something on her back)

BRIAN: Wait a minute. There's an area here that says "Insert Personality Disk here."

CROW: But the only disk we have is Magic Voice.

TOM: What should we do?

(ALL think for a minute, then decide something)

BRIAN: Shall we?

BOTS': We shall!

(BRIAN inserts the disk and then she comes to life)

MAGIC VOICE: What... What happened? Where am I?

(MV sees TOM & CROW)

MV: TOM! CROW! How are you guys?

TOM: We're fine.

MV: How long has it been?

CROW: Years. It's good to hear from you again.

BRIAN: She's alive! ALIVE!

MV (Scarred): AHHH! AN INTRUDER!

(MV then kicks BRIAN in his "lower mantence" region)

BRIAN (In pain): OWWWWWWWWWWW! RIGHT ON THE MOMMY/DADDY BUTTON!

(BRIAN passes out from the pain)

MV: Who is this guy?

TOM: That's Brian.

MV: How...?

CROW: It's a long story.

(MV then realizes what she did)

MV: MY GOD! I GOT LEGGS!

(She notices the rest of her body)

MV: I got arms! And hands! And boobs!

(Upon hearing that, BRIAN shoots back up)

BRIAN: CROW! TOM! WE'RE NOT EVEN IN THE THEATURE YET!

CROW & TOM: It wasn't us.

BRIAN: Sorry.

MV: How?

BRIAN: The body you're in now belonged Nerd Boy Ned, one of the new Mads...

MV: New Mads?

TOM: The other one is QB Ted.

BRIAN: Anyway, it broke one day, so they sent it to me...

MV: How'd it break?

CROW: You don't wana know.

BRIAN: As I was saying, I was stressed out thanks to Tom and Crow while viewing the story they just sent us, so I needed to relax. And the way I relax is building or fixing things. After fixing your body, I saw an area that said "Insert Personality Disk here," and your disk was the only one.

MV: Wow.

CROW: That's pretty much the whole story.

TOM: Yep.

BRIAN: In a nutshell.

MV: Wow. So are you relaxed now?

BRIAN: Yep. And it's a good thing. Especially now.

MV: Why?

BRIAN: Because...

(Lights go off)

ALL: WE GOT FANFIC SIGHN!

(6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0)

(ALL take their seats, except for TOM, who moves one seat to the left so MV, who carried TOM, can sit in his usual seat)

BRIAN: Thanks for carrying Tom for me Magic.

MV: Thanks. Oh, and call me Maggie.

BRIAN: Nice name.

MAGGIE: Thanks. By the way, what are we reading?

TOM: A TK/Mimi romance with a bit of a Matt/Kari romance.

MAGGIE: WHAT?!

The two stood up from the bench.

MAGGIE: Because they sat on a pair of tacks.

BRIAN: That was good.

MAGGIE: Thanks.

Mimi slid her hand into TK's

BRIAN: Don't even think about finishing that statement Crow!

CROW: Nuts.

BRIAN: CROW!

CROW: I didn't mean it that way.

BRIAN (Dr. Evil): Right.

and led him down the path out of the park

TOM: Towards Gumdrop Lane.

and down the street

BRIAN (Singing): Singing...

ALL (Singing): DOWA-DIDDY-DIDDY-DUM-DIDDY-DO!

towards their homes. TK blushed at
the warm touch Mimi's hand gave his

(BRIAN looks at CROW)

CROW: What?

BRIAN: Nothing.

own hand, but said nothing. Old memories filled his mind

MAGGIE: Overflowing his brain, thus flooding his head.

as he remembered how big

CROW: Her...

(BRIAN gets the tape out and tapes CROW'S mouth shut)

CROW: Mmmmm!

MAGGIE: I take it you dealt with him before.

BRIAN: Next to ECW'S Joel Gurtner, Crow has the dirtiest mind and mouth of anyone I know.

a crush he had on Mimi

MAGGIE (Mimi): TK... your... crushing... me!

when he first met her.

TOM: On the street corner.

BRIAN: CROW!

CROW: MMMMM!

BRIAN: Right. TOM!

He had once said to her that she was pretty, but that was it. He was
only eight at the time and didn't fully understand what love really was.

MAGGIE: And that is why we're thanking god at the moment.

Mimi looked through the corner of her eye to see TK's red face.

BRIAN: Looks like he stayed out in the sun too long.

CROW: MMMMMMMMMM!

BRIAN: All right, but you have to be good.

(BRIAN removes the tape from CROW'S mouth)

CROW: Thanks.

She suddenly asked herself if she was starting to fall for the young man beside her.

CROW: Hope she remembered her parachute.

<Maybe... he looks like Matt,

TOM (Sarcastic): Oh this definitely proves that she's over Matt.

but has a much better personality and singing
voice. He's changed so much...>

MAGGIE: He got a tattoo, smokes, and has a moehawk.

She mentally nodded to herself.

TOM: Wouldn't that cause her brain to shake?

TK had indeed changed a lot.

MAGGIE: He...

BRIAN: Once it enough for that joke Maggie.

He had grown taller, for one thing, and was a terrific basketball
player. She remembered going to one of his games with Matt and was amazed at how
well he played.

CORW: Because the other team threw the game that day.

He also didn't need to rely too much on

TOM: Steroids?

MAGGIE: Cheating?

BRIAN: Drugs?

CROW: Nike?

TOM: Chief?

CROW: McCloud!

anyone

ALL: Oh.

anymore. He was definitely grown up.

ALL (Singing): When I grow up, I'll turn the tables.

Mimi continued to walk hand-in-hand with TK even after they

CROW: Gave in to their...

BRIAN (Quickly): NO!

CROW: ...landlord. What?

BRIAN (Elmiyra): Nevermind.

entered their

TOM: Hotel?

MAGGIE: Car?

BRIAN: House?

CROW: Brothel?

BRIAN: Crow!

building

ALL: Oh.

and walked up

TOM: Up, up and away!

to his

TOM: Trailer Park?

MAGGIE: Mansion?

BRIAN: Castle?

CROW: Boat?

apartment.

ALL: Oh.

He looked at her and said,

CROW (TK): Your worth every penny.

BRIAN: CROW!

"You didn't have to walk me to my door, Mimi. But, thank you."
"It's the least I could do,

CORW (TK): What's the most?

BRIAN: CROW!

TK. Besides, it's only a few extra floors. Will you
be okay?"

TOM (TK): Oh, it's nothing that drugs and a period of wanting to kill myself won't cure.

BRIAN: A little dark.

TOM: Hey, when you got it, flaunt it.

He gazed into her deep eyes.

MAGGIE: For they were bottomless pits.

For a moment he thought he saw love in her eyes,

BRIAN (TK): Mimi, I think there's something in your eyes.

MAGGIE (Mimi): GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!

but crushed the thought.

CROW: Like a bug.

He smiled at her and said,

TOM (TK): Here's your $2.50.

(BRIAN looks like he was about to yell at TOM when MAGGIE gets out a giant mallet and hits TOM'S head)

#BONK#

TOM (Dizzy): Duhh... I had Jell-O today.

BRIAN: Where did you get the mallet?

MAGGIE: In this box that I found.

BRIAN: I guess there's more stuff in there than I thought.

"Yeah. I'll be fine. Thanks
again, Mimi." He then opened the door and entered his apartment.

BRIAN: To find his landlord waiting and demanding rent.

Mimi stared after him with affection.

TOM (Better): Is that a new character?

BRIAN: That's what she's feeling.

TOM: Oh.

When Matt left her, she hated all men.

CROW: I would love to see that phase in her life.

BRIAN (To MAGGIE): GIVE ME THAT DAMN MALLET!

(BRIAN takes the mallet and hits CROW over the head)

#BONK#

CROW (Dizzy): Duhh... thank you sir, may I have another?

All of them,

BRIAN: Even her Dad?

until

TOM: She found out she was adopted.

TK made that one visit.

CROW (Better): For Mimi was granted visitation rights.

He didn't know it, but he had helped her

ALL (Singing): I need a little help from my friends.

a lot by renewing her

TOM: Library books?

MAGGIE: Blockbuster member ship?

BRIAN: Power supply?

CROW: Subscription?

faith in love.

ALL: Oh.

After the door closed,

MAGGIE: They had one big party.

she walked back down two floors to

TOM: Hell?

MAGGIE: McDonalds?

BRIAN: Izzi?

CROW: Davis?

TOM: Chief?

CROW: McCloud!

her own apartment,

ALL: Oh.

and immediately went to her room to lie down.

BRIAN (Singing): Goin' down! Party time!

All she could think of now was TK and his

CROW: Big...

BRIAN: NO!

CROW: ...bank account. What?

BRIAN: Nothing.

smiling face just before they parted.

MAGGIE: For the operation to separate the twins was a success.

<There's no use fighting it,

ALL (Singing): Can't fight it! Can't hide it!

Mimi. You're in love with

TOM: Tai?

MAGGIE: Davis?

BRIAN: Izzy?

CROW: Joe?

BRIAN: Cody?

MAGGIE: Ken?

TOM: Chief?

CROW: McCloud!

TK,

ALL: Oh.

and you're thrilled about it!> She took her mini

BRIAN: Me.

calendar off her desk and ripped off

TOM: The convince store.

a paper with the current day's date on it. When she saw the next day's date,

CROW: She realized she was late for her "meeting" with Tai.

BRIAN: CROW!

she noticed she had the number circled and a message written in red.

BRIAN (Mimi reading the calendar): I know what you did last summer!

"Oh my god! Tomorrow's

ALL (Singing): Just a day away!

TK's birthday!"

CROW (Mimi): And I hope he likes his gift: Me wearing nothing but a smile.

TOM (Mimi): Can't forget the hollowed out cake.

MAGGIE: I found another mallet in the box.

BRIAN: Thanks.

(And, at the same time)

#BONK#

******************************************** ************************************

TOM & CROW (Dizzy): Duhh... Look at the pretty stars!

TK sat on the couch, reading the new "Star Wars" novel

TOM: "I'm sorry for Jar Jar Binks. I was drunk." By Gorge Lucas.

his mother had given him for his 16th birthday, among other things, before leaving for her Saturday shift.

TOM (Sarcastic, but shaking): Awww... just what any loving mother would do.

MAGGIE: Just how many times has Tom been sarcastic today?

BRIAN: Three. Why?

MAGGIE: If Tom gets sarcastic too many times...

BRIAN: Say no more. Tom, please try to be less sarcastic.

TOM: I'll try.

He glanced at the clock, which said

CROW (TK's clock): 8:15. Rise and shine. 8:15.

2:37. He frowned.

TOM (TK): No mommy, I don't want to go to school today.

<Matt will be here soon, just like every other year.

MAGGIE (Angry): Some brother. Only visiting his younger brother every other year.

Only this time I won't be having a "happy
birthday.">

CROW (TK): I was looking forward to have a year without Matt.

Placing a bookmark in his reading,

BRIAN (TK trying to remember his place): Page one.

he put the book aside and went to

TOM: The bathroom?

MAGGIE: The bedroom?

BRIAN: The dinning room?

CROW: The family room?

stand by the door.

ALL: Oh.

Sure enough, there was a knock just a minute later. TK opened the door to see

TOM: An insurance sellman?

MAGGIE: Davis?

BRIAN: Yolie?

CROW: Cody?

TOM: Chief?

CROW: McCloud!

his brother standing there,

ALL: Oh

smiling.

TOM: Because he inhaled some Nitrous Oxide and was stoned.

"Happy Birthday, T-!" It was then Matt noticed TK wasn't happy at all. He was
angry.

BRIAN: Well duh!

"Something wrong?"

TOM (TK, sarcastic): No. Just because I want to rip you spine out doesn't mean anything's wrong.

(TOM'S shaking gets worse)

BRIAN: I told you to go easy on the sarcasm.

TOM: But its too easy.

"We need to talk, Matt." TK's tone was emotionless. "Get in! Now!"

TOM (Sarcastic): Oh. If only he said it with emotion, then he would be dramatic.

(TOM'S shaking gets worse)

BRIAN: Gypsy! I need some way to get Tom to stop shaking!

(GYPSY enters the theater with an EZ Robot Repair kit)

GYPSY: Here you go Brian.

BRIAN: Thanks.

(MAGGIE hands TOM to BRIAN and he begins to repair TOM)

Matt was confused,

CROW: About his...

(BRIAN finishes repairing TOM just in time to get out both the tape and mallet)

BRIAN: Take your pick.

CROW: I'll shut up.

BRIAN: Good.

(BRIAN puts both items away)

but nodded. He followed the silent TK into the apartment and
closed the door behind him. There was a sense of trouble in the air.

TOM: I think it smells like pine really.

MAGGIE: Nah. It's more like chocolate.

Matt felt it right away.

(BRIAN grabs CROW'S beak shut)

He wondered if TK knew about him and Kari, but shrugged it off.

CROW (Matt): Just yesterday, I declared my love to a piece of jailbait my brother was dating and now I find him mad. Its probably just a coincidence.

BRIAN: And Bill Clinton is not a crook.

TK faced his older brother, arms crossed in front of him. He said nothing for a
moment, but his angry eyes spoke in volumes

BRIAN (Matt): You're too loud!

CROW & TOM (TK'S eyes): WHAT?

BRIAN (Matt): I SAID YOUR TO LOUD!

as they glared at Matt. "How are
you, big brother?"

MAGGIE (Matt): Oh you know. Playing with my band, dating your girl friend. Same old, same old. (Normal): By the way how old are they anyway?

BRIAN: Mimi is 18, Matt is 19, and TK and Kari are 16.

MAGGIE: WHAT? A 19 YEAR OLD AND A 16 YEAR OLD?! THAT'S SICK!

Again his voice was emotionless.
Matt shrugged and said, "I'm fine."

CROW (Matt): And sleeping with a minor.

"How's your love-life?"

MAGGIE (Matt): Oh. I'm dating a 16-year-old. But I might dump her for this fine looking 12 year-old soon.

Matt now detected some ice in TK's words.

BRIAN (Matt): Do you mine turning up the heat in hear? Your words are making me cold.

"Uh... fine. Except for the fans who
want to have me for just being a musician, but can't take a hint. Especially
Jun."

MAGGIE: Why doesn't he file a restraining order?

BRIAN: Not even a SWAT team would stop Jun.

TOM: Knowing her, she would probably hit on them.

BRIAN: True.

"Dating anyone I know?"

MAGGIE: Now Matt has to get the message.

BRIAN: He's a held back high school senior dating a minor. He wouldn't get the message if it was air mailed.

Matt didn't like increase of ice in the words or where the conversation was
going, and began to get angry.

BRIAN: He turned into the Incredible Hulk.

TOM: Stronger, and smarter than Matt.

"Why are you so interested in my personal life,
anyway?"

MAGGIE (TK): I work for Inside Edition.

"I have a better question,"

BRIAN (TK): If two trains heading for Cincinnati left at the same time...

TK snapped back.

MAGGIE: OUCH! That's gotta hurt.

His next words dripped with venom

CROW (Crocodile Hunter): Watch out mates! The TK's words are vary poisonous!

as he raised his voice and said,

TOM (TK): Is that your final answer?

"When the hell were you and Kari gonna tell me
you two are dating behind my back?"

BRIAN (Matt): Never. Duh!

At this Matt's eyes went wide

CROW: Its Matt's eye sight, the letterbox edition.

and his jaw dropped.

MAGGIE: And hit the floor.

His secret was out,

(BRIAN grabs CROW'S beak shut)

BRIAN: The author doesn't mean THAT secret Crow!

and his little brother was extremely angry.

BRIAN: He turned...

MAGGIE: It only works once.

The words not only caught him off guard they
stung him hard.

BRIAN: Then he should get some repellant.

"T-TK... we... we never meant to hurt you-."

ALL: ^Ballony!^

"But you did!" TK yelled as he poked his finger into Matt's chest hard.

(BRIAN grabs CROW'S beak shut)

"Now answer me, how long have you two been dating?"

BRIAN (Matt): Since she turned 10.

The poke hurt Matt, but he knew he deserved it.

TOM (Mother): You dated your brother's girlfriend who is a minor. You deserve a good poke young man!

CROW (Matt): But mom...

TOM (Mother): Don't but mom me young man or I'll wave my finger at you.

Sweat shot out of him like bullets.

TOM: Injuring everyone in the area.

BRIAN: That was a little too dark.

He backed away slowly,

BRIAN: Failing to notice that he's about to back into oncoming traffic.

never imagining TK would ever scare him like

TOM: Barney?

MAGGIE: The Tellitubies?

BRIAN: Mr. Rogers?

CROW: Politions?

TOM: Chief?

CROW: McCloud!

this, or that he would ever be afraid of his

TOM: Shadow?

MAGGIE: Reflection?

BRIAN: Digimon?

CROW: Pet?

younger brother.

ALL: Oh.

TK furiously grabbed his older brother buy the shirt and shook him.

BRIAN: He was trying to become a British nanny.

"HOW LONG?!"

CROW (TK): Is it?

BRIAN: CROW!

Matt swallowed.

(BRIAN grabs CROW'S beak shut)

BRIAN: Next time, I'm just taping your mouth shut.

"Just after you asked her out."

TOM: So she cheated on TK with Matt just after TK asked Kari out.

BRIAN: Yep.

TOM: Then shouldn't he have noticed Matt and Kari kissing after he asked her to the movies?

MAGGIE: Maybe his eyes were shut.

The tears streamed from TK's eyes

CROW: You know, this TK tear steam bath really clears the sinuses.

down his cheeks, but he didn't care. His big brother and the girl he thought was his best friend and one true love had betrayed him for over a year. "Thank you for being honest,"

TOM (TK): Now go to hell.

he said softly

MAGGIE: And carry a big stick!

as he released the shirt he was holding onto.

ALL (Singing): Hold on to the night. Hold on to the memory.

Matt relaxed a bit. He had expected worse from TK.

CROW: He expected to be sent a bad story?

A punch, at least.

BRIAN: V8 or Hawaiian?

"Now get out!"

Matt gave a blank stare.

TOM (Matt): Here you go TK. Happy Birthday.

BRIAN (TK): WOW! A blank stare. Just what I always wanted!

"What?"

ALL: He said "Now get out!"

"You heard me, Matt Ishida.

CROW (TK): Get the hell out of my office!

Get out of my home!"

TK passed a still shocked Matt

MAGGIE: Because Matt was under the power lines.

and opened the door. His expression of anger didn't change as he saw Kari standing in the doorway,

TOM (Sarcastic): Oh yeah, the person he wants to see now.

(TOM'S head explodes)

BRIAN: I warned him. GYPSY! I NEED TO REPAIR TOM!

(GYPSY enters the theater with the repair kit)

GYPSY: Here you go.

BRIAN: Thanks.

(GYPSY exits as MAGGIE hands TOM to BRIAN to repair him)

her fist raised to knock

CROW: His head off.

on the door. She took one look at TK and her smile faded.

TOM (Repaired): Into the sunset.

BRIAN: Glad to have you back Tom.

(BRIAN hands TOM to MAGGIE who places him back in his seat)

TK glared at her. "Speak of the devil! Look, Matt! Your girlfriend's here now."

All the blood drained from Kari's face.

MAGGIE: It went on to the floor.

CROW (Announcer): Clean up, isle 9.

It wasn't just the fact that TK found out about her secret relationship with Matt that scared her. It was also the venom in TK's voice towards her and Matt.

BRIAN: Since when was TK possied by a symbite?

"Don't worry," TK said to her as he shoved Matt out the door, the venom still
dripping from his lips.

CROW: Forget possed. He ate the symbite.

"He didn't tell me. I found out when I saw you two
lovebirds in the park yesterday."

TOM (Singing): While strolling through the park on day.

Finally finding her voice,

MAGGIE (Kari): I found it! I won the scavenger hunt!

Kari said, "TK, please-!" But, TK cut her off.

CROW: OUCH!

Her voice was once sweet music to him. Now it

BRIAN: Sounds like Roseanne singing at a ball game.

was nothing save for a deception to
his ears. And pain.

"There's nothing to discuss!

BRIAN (TK): This interview is over!

Both of you already gave me my birthday surprise,

CROW (TK): And it was the best...

(BRIAN gets out the tape as MAGGIE gets out one of the mallets)

CROW (TK): ...trip to Disney World I had ever had. What?

BRIAN: Lets keep it at that.

(BRIAN and MAGGIE put their stuff away)

so do me a favor and drop dead!"

MAGGIE (Kari): Sorry, all we could afford was one present.

And with that, TK slammed the door in their
faces

TOM: And broke their noises.

and locked it. Leaning back against the door, he slid to the floor, and
let his tears do the talking.

TOM (TK's tear): Hi Phil. How are you?

CROW (TK's tear): Just fine Bob. How are the kids?

"Just drop dead..."

(GYPSY enters the theater)

GYPSY: The Mads want to see you.

BRIAN: I wonder what they want.

(ALL exit the theater)

(Door sequence)

(SOL. All are on the bridge and the Mads light is already flashing and BRIAN taps it)

BRIAN: Hello?

(CLASSROOM)

NED: Hello. I see you repaired my android.

(SOL)

BRIAN: Yep good as new.

(CLASSROOM)

NED: And as a reward, we'll give you two things:

1. We'll let you keep the android.

(SOL)

BRIAN: Cool. Thanks.

MAGGIE: What's the other.

(CLASSROOM)

NED: Davis is going to join you early.

(SOL)

ALL: WHAT?!

(CLASSROOM)

NED: Activate the transporter Ted.

QB TED: Duh... Okay.

(Looks confused)

QB TED: Duhh... what button do I push?

NED: The one marked "on"

QB TED: Oh.

(QB TED turns on the machine and we see the Digiworld and DAVIS and KARI talking)

DAVIS: Why won't you go out with me? I can be nice, charming, sweet, and better that TA.

KARI (Angry): THAT'S TK! God Davis, I just wish you would just disappear.

(Appon saying that, a white beam strikes DAVIS and he vanishes)

KARI: WOOO-HOO! THANK YOU GOD!

(CLASSROOM)

NED: Enjoy the company.

(SOL, where DAVIS suddenly appears)

DAVIS: Where am I? Where's Veemon?

BRIAN: You're on the Satelight of Love. I'm Brian Smiley. This is Maggie.

MAGGIE: Hi.

BRIAN (Points to CROW): This is Crow T. Robot.

CROW: Hello.

BRIAN (Points to TOM): And this is Tom Servo.

TOM: Hi ya.

DAVIS: Cool! A gumball machine!

(DAVIS starts shoving quarters down TOM'S mouth and yanking his arms)

BRIAN: NO!

(BRIAN grabs Davis)

BRIAN: That is not a gumball machine. Okay!

DAVIS (Disappointed): Okay.

(DAVIS than notices GYPSY)

(Commercial Sign)

BRIAN: We'll be right back.

(BRIAN tapes the light)

GYPSY (Off screen): HELLLLLLLLP MEEEEEEEE!

(As we see the planet bumper, we hear BRIAN yelling "THAT'S NOT A VACUME! THAT'S GYPSY!")
