The next day, Lil was sleeping on the couch, still in her clothes from yesterday. She had been too busy with Phil to change... and sleep that well. When the doorbell rang, she practically fell off the couch to answer; it was the guys. "What?" She grumpily greeted them, before walking back in the house.

"Nice to see you too," Tommy remarked sarcastically.

"Thanks for the sunshine," Dil added, making Lil shoot a look at him.

"Wow, you don't look too good," Chuckie remarked in concern.

Lil sat back on the couch. "What're you guys doing here?"

"Well, we know you're taking care of Phil," Tommy took out a takeout bag, "So we brought you some frozen yogurt." Dil nodded.

"Thanks; I'm sorry. You guys are sweet. Phil's just been driving me crazy all night."

"Where is he?"

"Kitchen," She gestured to the said room, leading them there, where they saw Phil's wrists and ankles restrained in front of his chest, and a strip of duct tape over his mouth.

"You tied him up?" Chuckie asked her in surprise as Tommy put the yogurt in the fridge.

"I had to!" She defended her actions. "He refuses to take his antibiotic, and when I tried to force him to take it, he started swinging on me, so I had to do that!"

"At least he's sleeping," Tommy shrugged after closing the fridge door.

"Unless he's dead," Dil pointed out, making everyone look at him.

"Nah, he's sleeping," Lil looked at her motionless brother, "I hope..." She then turned back to her friends. "So, how was karaoke?"

"It was great at first," Chuckie shrugged, "But then..." He was cut off by noticing something. "What's on your arm?"

She glanced down at her forearm. "Phil's mouth blood." They reacted with disgust. "Can you guys untie him? I have to flush his gum holes with salt water." The boys reacted with even more disgust, but then the doorbell rang again. "Ough, who's that?" She groaned in exasperation, heading for the front door, "Just please untie Phil, and wake him up?" They agreed to do so, and went to work as she answered the door; it was Shenzi and Kimi.

Shenzi was now in a black corset tulle dress, white over-the-knee socks with black stripes and a red heart on each of the fronts, short black combat boots, a black and white striped bow headband, red heart earrings, a red extension, and multiples that faded from black to red. Kimi was wearing a pink polo t-shirt, a black v-back dress, backwards, black and white mismatched knee-high socks with horizontal stripes on the right, harlequin diamonds on the left, and a light blue cuff on both, pink combat boots, silver bow rope earrings, turquoise barbells in her extra piercings, two ponytail bands, and a light blue necktie.

"Hi," Shenzi greeted her.

"We brought frozen yogurt," Kimi held out a bowl.

"Why?" Lil grumpily asked. "Y'know, frozen yogurt won't make our world's problems go away!"

"Should've gotten donuts," Kimi muttered to herself.

"How come you're cranky?" Shenzi asked the brunette.

"And why are you messy?" Kimi added.

"Phil," She gestured to the kitchen, where they saw Chuckie, Tommy, and Dil attempting to untie him.

"Ohh," They understood.

"Um, we-we need to talk to you," Shenzi told her.

"It's really important," Kimi added.

"'Kay," Lil nodded, "Let's go outside. I'd rather not be in here when they get that tape off Phil's mouth." After Lil walked outside with the yogurt bowl, Kimi stealthily stepped in the house. When she saw that Chuckie didn't seem to notice her, she carefully grabbed his car keys. After walking outside, she closed the door. "What's up?"

"Last night, we went to Sing En, the new karaoke place," Kimi began explaining.

"These two girls were really mean to us," Shenzi finished.

"Like, Angelica-level mean?" The brunette asked them, while eating the yogurt.

"More," The black-haired girl replied.

"And they cheated," Kimi told her, "It was an unfair competition."

"Ah," Lil was surprised at that.

"What's on your arm?" Shenzi asked her.

"Phil's mouth blood," Lil replied, and they reacted with disgust.

"Man, these knots are tight," Chuckie remarked, not realizing that his car keys were missing.

"I think there's some scissors in here somewhere," Tommy looked in the drawers, and found what he was looking for.

"Her dad owns the place?" Lil confirmed.

"Yep," Kimi nodded.

"He played favorites," Shenzi explained, "They're terrible, but they won simply because one of them is his daughter."

"And they banned you both from singing there ever again?" Lil asked them, and they confirmed. "Okay, I hate these girls."

"We do too," Kimi nodded.

In the house, Dil managed to cut the restraints on Phil's wrists, but in his delirious state, he started strangling him. As Chuckie looked for the scissors, Tommy tried to help his brother out.

"Want to help us get back at them tonight?" Shenzi asked the brunette.

"I need to take care of Phil," Lil pointed out.

"Don't worry about that," Kimi told her, "I have a plan."

She was hesitant about that. "I dunno."

"You want to stay here, and take care of Phil's bleeding mouth?" Kimi asked her.

When Lil peeked back in, she saw the boys struggling with Phil, then closed the door and turned back to the girls. "So, the plan?"

l-l

"It hurts so bad!" Phil groaned from his seat on the couch.

"Yeah, well," Tommy didn't know what to do for him, as he waited for Chuckie and Dil to return.

Just then, the two redheads walked back in the house and to the living room. "Okay, we looked everywhere," Dil told his brother.

"They're just not here now," Chuckie added.

"Will one of you massage my gums?" Phil requested.

The three looked at each other, then did a sound-off. "Not it!" Tommy quickly piped up.

"Not it!" Chuckie followed his actions. "You're it."

"Sorry bro," Tommy shrugged.

Dil gave them an annoyed glare, but gave in. "Fine." Feeling dread, he walked up to Phil and started massaging his gums.

Chuckie looked at Tommy when his phone's text tone rang. "Who texted you?"

"Lil," He replied after looking at his messages.

"What'd she say?"

"She said "Need you, Chuckie, and Dil to take care of Phil until midnight.""

"No," Chuckie protested.

"I don't want this to be my Saturday night plans," Dil added.

"Somebody has to stay with me!" Phil protested.

"Hey! You're biting!"

Chuckie was surprised when his own text tone rang from his phone. "Who texted?" Tommy asked him.

"Shenzi," He couldn't help but smile.

"What'd she say?"

""Hey, baby; you can't leave Lil's house. Kimi has your car keys."" He lightly puffed in exasperation.

"Figures," Tommy sighed.

At Sing En, Marcy and Raven had finished singing a song as Kimi and Shenzi entered the club. Marcy was now in a cat face galaxy cropped camisole, black shorts with rhinestone studs along the pockets, dark blue opaque tights, pastel snowflake dangling earrings, and black and white saddle pumps with a 4 ½ inch heel. Raven wore a Mad Hatter shirt with long two-layered sleeves, matching suspenders, a blue and black tutu skirt, black and neon green horizontally striped tights, black Doc Martens, a black sequin headband, and neon green heart dangling earrings. After they finished singing, the whole club cheered modestly except for Shenzi and Kimi. "Alright! That was our reigning champions, Marcy and Raven," The DJ announced, and the patrons cheered again. "Okay, we're going to take a fiver, so your MC can go pee." The club was silent at that. "That joke never gets a laugh."

Just then, the two amateurs noticed their competition. "Oh, look who's back," Marcy remarked as she and Raven walked up to them, "I thought I smelled failure."

"Then I guess you're sniffing yourself," Shenzi smirked.

"You know you can't sing here," Raven pointed out.

"Why would we want to?" Shenzi questioned her.

"So your daddy can let you win again?" Kimi crossed her arms.

"He picked us, because we sang the best," Raven claimed.

"Ha!" Kimi scoffed. "If the audience picked the winners, anyone here would beat you."

"But you're too scared to do that, aren't you?" Shenzi put her hands on her hips.

"We aren't scared to let the audience pick the best singer," Marcy replied.

"Nope," Raven added.

"Then pick someone," Kimi glared.

"And if we win?" Raven raised an eyebrow.

"You can make out with my brother," Kimi decided.

"WHAT?!" Shenzi screamed.

"Raven likes him," The Asian girl pointed out.

"So do I! He's MY boyfriend!"

"Worried?" Raven taunted her.

"Nope," Shenzi shook her head, "And if you lose," She tried to think of a way to punish them, "Um..."

"You have to babysit a boy we know," Kimi decided.

"Pft!" Marcy scoffed. "Fine."

"Good," Shenzi nodded.

"Now pick someone to sing against you," Kimi ordered.

"Alright," Marcy nodded, "We'll pick..." To Shenzi and Kimi's relief, they found a girl with short brown hair, wearing a red and black buffalo plaid beanie hat, purple round eyeglasses, Tripp Ezy Rider black and white skinny jeans, yellow Doc Martens, a yellow pyramid stud belt, yellow rose earrings, and an oversized v-neck cardigan with green zebra stripes on the bodice, yellow leopard spots along the opening, and pink leopard spots sleeves. All the buttons were done. "... Her."

Shenzi and Kimi secretly smirked at each other, then started acting. "Oh come on, not her!" Shenzi protested.

"At least pick someone who has a chance," Kimi added.

"You said anyone in this place," Marcy pointed out.

"And she is in the place," Raven backed her up, then turned to their choice. "Hey! Ugly Betty!" The girl looked up at them. "Time to sing!"

She looked around, then pointed to herself. "Me?" She asked with an awkward dialect, and the two girls nodded.

At the DeVille house, the boys managed to pin Phil on the couch after a lot of struggle. He was strong when delirious! "Okay, Mrs. Carmichael's instructions say your gum sockets need to be flushed with salt water, so they don't get infected," Chuckie read off the list.

"No!" Phil protested.

"Do it!" Tommy ordered when the brunette boy started struggling. Chuckie barely managed to get the syringe in his mouth, and flush his gum sockets, Phil gargling at the gross taste. "Did you get his gum sockets?" Tommy asked him.

"I think so," Chuckie replied, "Let me check." He threw his head back when Phil bit down, just barely missing his nose, before he started full on attacking the boys with kung fu moves.

l-l

"I can't believe you thought she could make out with my boyfriend, and your brother," Shenzi grumbled.

"It's okay, Shen," Kimi assured her, "She won't get near him. Lil will win for sure. Trust me; she will."

"Well... okay," She hesitantly obliged.

"And besides; yesterday, Chuckie said she's not his type. You are. Your relationship will be fine."

"A-alright," She nodded, "I trust you."

"Okay, everyone," The DJ gained the patrons' attention, "We're doing something a little special tonight. You just heard the melodious voices of our champions, Marcy and Raven!" The club applauded modestly for them, Shenzi and Kimi's less enthusiastic.

"Melodious, my butt," Shenzi whispered to Kimi, who snickered.

"Well, they've picked a challenger to sing next, and then you, the audience, are gonna pick the winner by your own applause. Are you guys down?!" The club patrons cheered. "Alright," The DJ quieted them down. "What's your name, up at the mic there?"

The challenger looked nervous before responding. "Mi-Mildred Chmelar."

Marcy and Raven snickered at that. "Wow, that's a name," The DJ remarked, "What're you gonna sing tonight, Mildred?"

"Um, I would like to sing... Freak the Freak Out," She mumbled shyly.

The patrons, sans a certain two, were skeptical. "Really? Are you sure? That's a pretty intense song."

"I'd like to sing it now, please!" "Mildred" demanded with a lisp.

The DJ raised his palms in defense. "Alright. Here comes Mildred, singing Freak the Freak Out!" As the audience cheered, he started playing the music. Everyone waited in anticipation as "Mildred" lamely danced in place, waiting for her cue.

"Are you listening? Here me talk, here me sing," She started singing once her cue came, "Open up the door; is it less? Is it more? When you tell me to beware, are you here? Are you there? Is it somethin' I should know? Easy come, easy go. Out of your head; don't hear a word I said. I can't communicate." After that, she started stripping out of her disguise, starting with her hat, so her yellow hair extension was out for everyone to see, followed by her glasses and fake nose, as Marcy and Raven were in shock. "When you wait, don't relate. I try to talk to you, but you never even knew, so, what's it going to be? Tell me, can you hear me?" She then whipped her cardigan off, revealing a black studded bustier and a yellow bralet crop top under it, as the audience cheered enthusiastically for her. Lil grabbed the microphone off the stand, and marched down the stage walkway.

As she danced in place, Shenzi and Kimi taunted Marcy and Raven with acts of surprise. "I'm so sick of it; your attention deficit. Never listen, you never listen. I'm so sick of it, I'll go throw another fit. You never listen, you never listen. I scre-e-e-ea-a-am your name! It always stays the s-a-ame! I scre-e-e-ea-a-am, and sho-o-ou-ut! So what I'm gonna do now, is freak the freak out!" She then jumped on Marcy and Raven's table, and started dancing on it. "Whoa-oa-oa! Whoa-oa-oa! Whoa-oa-oa! Whoa-oa-oa-ooaaoh! Whoa-oa-oa! Whoa-oa-oa! Whoa-oa-oa! Whoa-oa-oa-ooaaoh!" Lil then jumped back on the stage, and invited Shenzi and Kimi to dance with her. After they stepped back down, she started singing again, walking on the floor amongst the audience. "Patience runnin' thin, runnin' thin, come again. Tell me what I get; opposite, opposite. Show me what is real. If it breaks, does it heal? Open up your ear; why you think that I'm here? Keep me in the dark; are you even thinkin' of me? Is someone else above me? Gotta know, gotta know. What am I gonna do, 'cause I can't get through to you, so, what's it gonna be? Tell me, can you hear me?"

She came back on the stage. "I'm so sick of it; your attention deficit. Never listen, you never listen. I'm so sick of it, I'll go throw another fit. You never listen, you never listen. I scre-e-e-ea-a-am your name! It always stays the s-a-ame! I scre-e-e-ea-a-am, and sho-o-ou-ut! So what I'm gonna do now, is freak the freak out!" She finished the song with a dip to almost sit on her feet, as the audience cheered loudly for her, all out of their seats. Shenzi came up on the stage and hugged Lil with excitement, followed by Kimi grabbing her hands in a celebratory way. Marcy and Raven tried to stop the cheers, but were unnoticed.

"Whoa, wait, wait, wait!" Mr. Waterson walked up on the stage.

"Wait for what?" Shenzi raised an eyebrow at him.

"The crowd hasn't voted yet," Marcy pointed out in a pathetic tone.

"Yeah!" Her dad backed her up. "All those for Marcy and Raven!" The two girls clapped their hands, but were met with silence and 'they were alright' gestures, as the DJ awkwardly drank his soda. "All those for Mildred Chmelar." The audience went wild, cheering and applauding yet again, indicating that Lil was the winner. As the three friends danced in celebration, Mr. Waterson led Marcy and Raven out of the club.

l-l

At the DeVille house, Tommy and Chuckie were massaging a moaning Phil's jaws, feeling very irritated and exhausted. "Dude, would you quit saying ehhhnnn?" Tommy griped at him.

"This is not how I want to spend my Saturday night," Chuckie said. He was hoping to spend some time with his precious girlfriend, but he didn't know where she was. He didn't even know if she was alright.

"Can't you call any of the girls?" Tommy asked Dil.

"I'm trying, T! None of them are answering!" He pointed out.

"G'aaah!" Phil groaned.

"Be quiet!" Chuckie's head leaned back in exasperation as Tommy groaned in annoyance.

"Hey, guys!" Lil came in the house, still in her performance outfit.

"There she is!" Tommy and Chuckie stood up immediately, the former expressing their relief. "How could you guys leave us to take care of him?!"

"I'm sorry," She tried to apologize.

"You know Kimi stole my car keys?" Chuckie exclaimed.

"I'm covered in Phil's gum blood!" Dil added.

"Alright, alright," Lil tried to keep things calm when all 3 boys started talking angrily at once, before the doorbell rang, silencing everyone. "Come in!" To the boys' surprise, Marcy and Raven walked into the living room, looking angry. "You guys don't have to take care of Phil anymore tonight."

"Yeah, you do," Dil said.

"No," Lil shook her head, then gestured to the two guests, "They do."

Everyone was silent, before Chuckie broke it. "Them?"

"He's the boy you're babysitting," Lil told the two girls, gesturing to Phil.

"Babysitting?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"You have to massage his jaw, both sides," She began explaining the requirements for him, "And every hour, use that syringe to flush his bloody gum holes with salt water."

"Ew," Marcy grimaced.

"Gross," Raven griped.

"Yeah, it's worse than you think," Lil smiled, and the boys agreed with her.

"I don't want to flush his bloody gum holes," Marcy protested, as Raven shook her head.

"Too bad; you lost the bet," Lil taunted them, "Alright, let's all go back to Sing En!" The three boys cheered, then left the house with her.

l-l

"I'm sorry we left you guys to take care of Phil," Shenzi patted Chuckie's shoulder in genuine sympathy, "It was part of a plan to get back at those two mean girls."

Chuckie sighed, before nodding. "It's okay. They deserve it, anyway."

"Yep," Kimi giggled, "Sorry for taking your car keys."

"It's fine," He assured them, "I'm glad your ban was lifted."

"Me too," Kimi nodded.

l-l

Meanwhile, the DeVille house living room was a mess from everything that had happened since the friends left. "Phil?!" Marcy yelled out.

"Where are you?!" Raven yelled.

"We just want to change the gauze in your mouth!"

"Where'd he go?" The blue-haired girl wondered aloud in frustration.

"I don't know! I thought he went that..." Marcy was cut off by Phil jumping up from behind, tackling her to the floor, and wrestling with her.

"I just want to put the stupid gauze in your mouth!" Raven screamed.

"Stay away from me, you freak!" Phil glared, before Marcy tackled him and began to fight with him. With a scream of battle, Raven ran to help her out.

When Howard walked in, he was surprised at the scene before him; two girls he didn't even know wrestling with Phil, all of them screaming. "Uh, Betty?" He walked back outside, not knowing what to do. "You might want to see this."

l-l

"Hey uh, Chuckie?" Shenzi smiled. "How about you go up there, and jam this place up?"

"Wha-what?" He stammered. "Oh, I can't sing."

"Can too!" Kimi protested. "You've sang to me whenever I had nightmares when I was little. Heck, you still do! And you're a great singer!"

"I know you are, because you sing to me too," Shenzi added, then gestured to the stage, "Go on!" She gently urged him.

"Well... okay," He gave in. His friends cheered as he walked to the stage.

"Alright, what's your name, glasses?" The DJ asked him.

"Ch-Chuckie Finster," He stammered.

"What're you gonna sing tonight, Chuckie?"

"Um, I... I want to sing "Beautiful to Me" by Olly Murs. And dedicate it to a... special girl in the audience." He waved to Shenzi, who waved back. "She's my special girl, and always will be." She smiled lovingly up at him, with her hands on her cheeks.

"Alright! Here's Chuckie Fibster singing "Beautiful to Me"!" The DJ announced, before turning on the music.

"It, it's Finster."

"Right!" He said to him as a way of saying "Sorry, my bad."

l-l

"I don't care what you see; you're beautiful to me." Chuckie was almost finished with the song. By now, Shenzi was almost in tears. Her favorite part was "Love, open your heart, and let it go. You're so amazing; don't you know?" It made her heart flutter and pound at the same time, both times. "You're beautiful to me." He concluded the song, before the music ended, as the club cheered loudly for him.

His girlfriend ran up on the stage as their friends cheered, and embraced him tightly, still feeling emotional. "That was beautiful," She mumbled with her head on his chest and shoulder.

"You've got it beat, Shen," He said into the mic, and the audience applauded again.
