Taking 5 Page #5

---

Your mask!

Were fans. Past tense.

We thought you were sweet

and caring, like in your songs.

- Hey, I'm caring.

- Let me finish!

But when we came to you for help,

what did we get?

Yeah, not a "no, thank you"

or a "we'd love to, but we can't. "

No, you just had to humiliate us.

You screwed over the wrong fans.

With all the posters

and CDs and T-shirts,

we've spent over $936.47

on 5 Leo Rise.

Now you're going to pay us back.

With a concert for our school.

I wish KK were here.

He would laugh his ass off.

Crazy Chick and Cancer Girl,

together again.

Do you really have cancer?

More like... social cancer.

- Yeah.

- Social cancer.

Yeah, and you guys are the cure.

All you have to do is perform

a couple songs for our school.

That'll trump Kira's popularity

and take us off her torture radar.

Oh, wait, are you trying to say

you two aren't exactly popular?

Because that is shocking.

- Have a heart, bro.

- Yeah, man.

We're their heroes.

I met my hero once.

Snoop D-O-double-G.

You met Snoop Dogg?

Sweet!

Hey, man, no hostage bonding.

Put your mask back on!

But he met Snoop Dogg.

And he was really cool.

And if he wouldn't have been,

that would've been a major bummer.

I say we do it for 'em. I'm in.

That's a yes for Mason.

How about you, Scooter?

I am a little upset

about the whole kidnapping thing.

But...

sure.

I'd do a couple songs

for your school.

- You would?

- You would?

Yeah.

Last night was homecoming

for over half the city.

You want me to contact

every limo service?

I'm sorry, what?

You were saying something stupid?

Yes, that's what I want!

If we can find out

where they went in the limo,

we can get them

and bring them back.

Okay?

Get on it.

You don't have to be so abusive.

Are you kidding me?

Yo. Hold up

with this fan appreciation crap.

I'm still part of this band,

and I do not perform for free.

Do you have any idea how much I get

for doing just one song?

With everything you've put us through,

we've more than paid for it.

You kidnapped us!

Besides, I'm the star of this band.

Without me, you got nothing.

Wait, wait, wait,

what's all this me, me, me business?

What about us?

Guess those rumors about

the solo tour aren't just rumors.

You were bound to find out.

Hollace did research,

and I've got the largest fan base.

Oh, are you okay, Scooter?

I'm not okay.

5 Leo Rise is like my family,

and it's falling apart.

You guys are like my brothers, man.

Look, if I were to bake

a really good cake,

I'd need the best ingredients.

I'd need the best flour,

and that's you, Ritchie.

Why am I the flour?

You calling me gay?

Scooter, what are you

talking about, man?

Listen, Mason,

you're the sugar,

I'm the eggs, KK's the baking soda,

and Nikolai...

- Nikolai is the butter.

- I'm the butter.

No, no, no, see, I get it.

See, he's saying

that when you bake a cake,

no one really says,

"Oh, this is amazing baking soda,"

or, "Wow, where'd you get

these eggs?"

No, they just love the cake.

That's right.

It's the way it's mixed together.

- Yeah.

- That's us.

If you don't get that,

you don't get 5 Leo Rise.

Since when do you know

so much about baking?

My parents own a bakery.

Just leave me alone.

You know what, man?

I'm so over this dude.

I'm going to tell you something

I swore I would never say.

When Hollace came to Orlando

to scout for talent,

he said me and Scooter

were perfect for the band.

Yeah, and I said,

"What about Ritchie?"

You know what Hollace said?

He said your singing Goofy

was derivative and uninspired.

I hope you girls have good lawyers,

because you are so screwed.

Lincoln, we'll be back.

Where you guys going?

What am I supposed to do

with this schmuck, Ritchie?

I've got a few ideas.

Look, we have two yeses.

We need to get inside

Ritchie's head, break him down.

Well, he thinks

he's the star of the band.

Why don't we treat him like it?

It's worth a shot.

So you read all his articles.

What does he love most?

Banana cream pie.

He likes collecting sneakers.

Oh, and the Velvet Raven.

- There's an idea.

- What?

What's an idea?

Gabby, what's an idea?

So here's the deal.

Every time he says something

stupid, chuck an egg at him.

That's sweet. That's good.

- That hurt!

- You jumped the gun.

I didn't say anything!

You know what? You guys

are definitely an inspiration to me.

I didn't think

you guys would be this cool,

but let me show you how it's done.

Hollace and the label are gonna

find out, and I'm gonna sue.

Oh, yeah?

Well, tell your lawyer I said this.

Watch the face!

Come on, guys!

We should be checking in

with Hollace.

Dude, you're his prize star,

not us.

We don't have to check in anymore.

In fact, think we'll stay here as long

as possible just to freak him out.

Hey, guys, I got this.

I got this.

Did you just miss?

- Your aim is horrible.

- He's...

I'll be back.

You're an embarrassment, Pete.

Try again, Pete.

You got it.

I don't know what you guys are doing,

but we need to get back to the plan.

Actually, Lincoln, the plan changed.

The... that's the Velvet...

Velvet Raven.

You couldn't have busted that out

for homecoming?

Ritchie gets all the good stuff.

Lincoln, focus.

- It's hard.

- Focus! I need your help on this one.

What the hell?

Hi.

Well, okay. Bye.

Go, go, go.

Hey, Ritchie...

I was just roaming the neighborhood,

fighting some crime,

and I thought I'd stop by.

- You're insane...

... ly hot? I know.

Banana cream pie?

Your favorite.

- I'm starving.

- So...

Which one of my super powers

do you love the most?

Is it my famous raven cry,

or is it just the fishnets?

Seriously,

you're putting me off my pie.

Well, I guess

it's just my martial arts skills, then.

Watch it!

God!

Great. What little torture

are you going to inflict on me now?

Just soapy water.

Would you relax?

Look, I just want to know

if there was anything unusual

with any of your limos last night.

Tell you, when I find them,

I'm just going to...

Vomit, yeah.

Grape juice.

A limo covered in wing sauce.

Did you say wing sauce?

Give... give...

All right, listen to me.

Do not move,

do not touch anything,

and do not say anything

to anyone.

We will be there

in 15 minutes, okay?

KK, Nikolai...

Russia, one,

USA capitalist pig, zero.

Are you finished?

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

All right, guys, we have got to keep

this thing on the down low, okay?

The guys are just pulling a prank.

Why they didn't let you in on it,

I don't know,

but until we find them,

I want you on my butt like Super Glue.

- You got it?

- Really?

Don't go there.

Just get off the couch.

All right, let's go!

We need radio silence.

Not one word about kidnapping.

The last thing we need is the press

catching wind of what's going on.

Hey, you guys,

here they come, here they come!

Can you confirm reports

about 5 Leo Rise's kidnapping?

We have no comment

at this time, gentlemen.
