The dojo was mostly empty with the exception of Rudy, Eddie, and Milton. And while Eddie and Milton were trying to practice their fighting work, Rudy was meditating very loudly sitting by a Zen garden wearing a mood ring on his finger. He said he was becoming one with the universe or whatever, and then the guys sat down to join him. As if any work was gonna get done.

Let's face it, I love Eddie and Milton but they're our weakest members. Jerry would be a completely different story, altogether, Jack and Kim are tied for the greatest and then I'm not sure where I lay other than I'm the youngest. Then Jerry, and Jack and I walked into the dojo and when we did rock music was playing some rock band the guys liked and I tolerated, but Rudy had been hoping for some nice meditation music, and wanted them to turn the rock music off.

The band they were listening to Kung Fu Lightning they said that there was a concert coming up and that Jack and Jerry were gonna wait all day in line for tickets for it as long as it took according to Jerry, as Jack passed out the sleeping bags. You're into this stuff too Farrah? Not really, but I have nothing else better to do besides, Kim's not around right now and whenever I'm not with my brother bad things happen to me.

We left after that, and Milton and Eddie said they were gonna go out in get corn dogs, and Rudy was glad they were leaving so that he could mediate in peace. But instead of becoming one with the spirits or whatever his speaker fell on his head, and he had his head stuck in it, well he became one with something like he wanted.

Outside where we were waiting in line the boys were arguing over who was the bigger Kung Fu lighting fan, and as they did everyone began moving up in line, at least the line was moving at all maybe we wouldn't be here as long as I thought we would. Only time would tell. And then Rudy came around with Phil's goat and said he was goat sitting for the week.

Since Jack said we'd been here for like 19 hours whether exaggeration or not he got up to use the bathroom and when he left two hot girls got Jerry's attention and said they could go in front of them and then their friends came with them and then when Jack got back the officer person roped it off and said that the guy in front of us was the last person to get a ticket, and Jerry was left to explain himself.

I would've tried to stop him, but I knew when Jerry was gonna do something there was no going back or trying to reason with him, and that when he saw a cute girl in need he tuned everyone and everything else out, which was easy for Jerry to do since he doesn't seem to really focus on anything it seems. Jack grabbed Jerry by the ear ad pulled him away while I cleaned up our stuff and followed after them with the bag of stuff strapped on my back like a backpack. as I followed after them.

Meanwhile Rudy had recruited Eddie and Milton to help him work at Phil's while he was away and Rudy was glad to have the goat cause he'd been picking up girls and their phone numbers. Who knew a goat could be a chick magnate? And then a customer came in looking for food, and Milton told him to sit and they would get him his food, even though Rudy told him they were closed for the week.

Milton said if a loyal customer of Phil's left for a different place he'd lose all his customers cause they would discover how bad Phil's food was in comparison, and while they were doing that Jack was practicing fight moves with bow staff, and I was getting myself all cleaned up (outfit 43)reaching into my locker for another outfit (that one there) and throwing it over my tank top and shorts.

When Jerry ran in with a box saying that we got tickets. Really dude that's awesome. Jack told him. How? But Jerry wasn't listening. He looked over at me watching me, as I smoothed out my clothes grabbing my hairbrush to start brushing out my wet hair. Hey dude why you all wet girl? I just took a shower Jerry, your hair gets wet when you shower. I put my stuff back into my locker, when Jack called for Jerry.

Jerry?! Huh? How did we get tickets? Jack asked again. Oh yeah about that.... They are about to call one lucky winner on the radio contest and the prize is 3 tickets to the concert. A radio contest? Jack started, as Jerry pulled out the radio. You know what our chances are of actually winning that contest and being the lucky winner and winning those concert tickets? I finished.

Then Jerry dumped out a bazillion different phones from the box he had with him, and after seeing that I saw that our chances had just gone up like a lot, at least hopefully. And then the phone started ringing but they had no idea which one it was and then he got a person on the phone and hung up on them cause Jerry said he was looking for a phone and had no time to talk and then there went the tickets, as we turned the radio off.

Meanwhile at Phil's the other 3 were in uniforms and working at Phil's serving people as if they worked there, and doing a great job and then us 3 walked in to see what they were doing to see how well they were doing. Yeah guys how did you get people in here? I asked them. That's what I was gonna say Jack told me. Great minds think alike then.

Eddie told us that Milton changed the 40 year grease and got rid of it and once he had clean and fresh ingredients the food started tasting like real food. Jerry and Jack were upset about the tickets when Jerry said if he'd seen Izzy he'd tell him his biggest fans didn't have tickets, but when he got his chance since he was sitting in a booth just across from us he got all tongue tied. Jack had to step in and introduce us to him and told him he was sorry that Jerry was freak.

That's great, he'd said.... That means we'll get along great, cause you see I'm the king of the freaks, he showed us that he was wearing two different kinds of shoes but that wasn't even the strangest part, turns out when he left the hotel he had been wearing slippers. This guy was off his nut, he was crazier than Jerry, and that's saying something.

And he even acted like Jerry, when Rudy came around he saw a great spit ball opportunity and shot one at him knocking Rudy over. When he asked if he could help us with he was angry at first when we asked for tickets until Jack said we were big fans and then he gave us a card to call his manager to hook us up with some tickets, and left to go either skate or bowl since those were the shoes he was wearing currently.

But when we noticed he left his phone we picked it up and ran after him, we knew that would surly be important. But when we got out to him Izzy was in trouble and we needed to help him out and we karate chopped away the thugs that were trying to do him in. After we saved him we wondered why those guys tried to attack him he said it was because he was beautiful, and he took one look at us and asked if we were superheroes.

Well this one is, I pointed at Jack, even though I'm a great fighter, I always end up the damsel in distress. As for Jerry, he's more of a wild card. But he didn't care he didn't wanna hear it he said our secret was safe with him and that he had superheroes for bodyguards, and we looked at each other with strange looks.

Come again? We asked him. Well it's clear that I need protection so you 3 work for me now, and you're gonna love my driver.... When he told us he was a wizard we weren't sure what we had just gotten ourselves into and didn't know how to get out of it either, but right now as long as we had a way to see the concert we had so desperately tried to win tickets for.... Did we even want out at least right now?

After the guys danced it out that we were bodyguards for the biggest Rockstar in the world we followed after him. At the venue the band was waiting for Izzy to show up, and the manager said they'd been waiting to do sound check for an hour, and he hadn't shown up and one of the other guys in the band said he had no idea but that he could practice being the lead vocalist in case he didn't show up.

And when Izzy showed up this other guy got suspicious but pretended to be glad he was here and concerned why he was and why he was late. He told the story of what happened, and the guys were freaking out, and goofing off. While Izzy introduced us, and I'd curtsied politely when I'd been introduced. Nice to meet you. Likewise the manager told me, as he handed us a clipboard and told us if we were his new bodyguards then we were also his babysitters.

Say what?! Now this we weren't expecting or had signed up for, we shouldn't had even been here, and I was still the youngest person here and probably still would've been at the concert. When we would get to see it. He handed us his agenda for the day and we did a "sound check" and then Jack read off the list of things to do and Izzy took it and tossed it away and he said he had a better idea, and we went skydiving instead, or rather they did, I stayed and waited for them to plummet to their doom, besides I'm terrified of heights.

Jack was having a great time, Jerry wouldn't stop screaming, and then he asked Izzy when he should open his parachute and then the red tab ripped off which wasn't good and Jerry was worried they were gonna die, and it was like Izzy had some kind of death wish with all this extreme stuff he was doing.

But then Izzy told Jerry it was a joke and he pulled the real read cord and the parachute opened up and Jerry said he was a demon and kept screaming. Down below at Phil's they were struggling to keep going until Milton found a machine in the back of the kitchen that could mostly make the food for them, that if they were to quit now Phil would lose all his business, and that would be bad.

At the venue the guys came back, and I was chillin' out on the couch in the dressing room, or green room whatever, they were back, and I'd been worried sick. There you guys are, I've been worried sick, do you know that his show starts in like 5 mins?! His manager isn't gonna be happy about this. Yeah you know you could've planned where we were gonna land. Jerry pointed out.

Turns out they had landed at the rodeo and Jerry landed on a bull, and Jack and Izzy were having a great time. How is it that I'm the youngest person here and the most responsible? Then his manager came in. Where have you been do you know that your show starts in 5 mins?! Let's go. That's what I said I said crossing my arms with an eyebrow raised, as they silently begged me not to tell anyone where they had been and then I rolled my eyes staying out of it.

But when Izzy left and we tried to follow him out to see where Izzy wanted us during the concert the other guy stopped us, told us we weren't really bodyguards, that we weren't going anywhere and that we were fired. You can't fire us we work for Izzy, not his back up singer. Jack reminded him. I'm not a back up singer, I'm the guy that started this band and I should be the leader singer.

But then we got removed from the venue and still didn't have tickets on how to get in to see the show. At Phil's the guys had used the machine to make a lot of falafel balls in time for the dinner rush and then they tried to turn the machine off. And that's when it went from great to take cover.

After Eddie unplugged it the machine was still going, and then Milton tried the lever and then it broke off, that wasn't good. And just like the sushi episode of Drake and Josh the machine was speeding up too fast and they needed to make the balls stop coming out and fill more containers of the stuff. But all the containers they had were full already of balls.

Milton was trying to make sure no more balls hit the floor by having them go inside the food jacket jumpsuit thing but then Rudy found out his mood ring was gone which meant it was in the batter and he couldn't lose it cause it had been in his family for a really long time and needed to get it back and that meant it was probably in a falafel ball, and they had to stop what they were doing and help him find it.

When Milton had too many balls in the jumpsuit it exploded and balls flew everywhere. At the concert Jerry was upset cause he told every girl he'd ran into that Izzy was gonna scream all their names from the stage, Jack asked how he could do that and Jerry said when Izzy screams you can't hear a word he says, and then did an example asking Jack if he heard which girl's name out if the 5 he'd said in the scream.

Then the thugs that jumped Izzy came back and the band member let them in and now we really had to get back in there and protect Izzy. Protect him from his envious band mate. Who was trying to kill him without getting his hands dirty. At the dinner rush they had a dozen falafel balls for $5 and that Rudy said whoever found the ring got $100. When they were only down to one left, Tootsie came and ate the last one and Rudy thought his ring had to be in that last one.

Meanwhile by using one of the crates to get back in we snuck back into the concert and it was going on and but now that we knew Izzy's life was in danger our priority wasn't seeing the concert it was saving his life, again. The guys were up on the cat walk with wire cutters in their hands that were attached to the fake lighting bolt and that's how they were gonna get rid of Izzy, and finish the job, ironic for the song "summon the lighting" oh that lighting was gonna be summoned alright.

Jack wrapped an arm around my waist and he used a cord to pull us up onto the rafters so that we could stop those thugs again from hurting Izzy, and put an end to it once and for all. While we were up there Jerry was down below fighting off the second thug who had been trying to get up from the ladder. And they were fighting right onto the stage in front of a billion screaming fans.

The fans just thought it was part of the show, and didn't worry about any of the dangers that were happening. Jerry had knocked the guy he was fighting off the stage but Jack and I were still up above trying to keep the lightning from otherwise really being summoned onto Izzy's head and killing him. Which was more easier said than done.

But it was too late, I'd been knocked off onto the edge, Jack had one hand on me and one hand on the cord that had ripped. He yelled down to Jerry when the lighting fell and he helped me back up to safety, while Jerry pushed Izzy out of the way to his own safety and the lighting crashed not doing anyone any harm which was good.

Had the lightning fell in time Izzy would be splattered all over the room but since no damage was made except to the stage all the fans cheered again like was supposed to have happened, like it was just part of the show. After seeing that his plan had failed the other guy ran off disappearing.

At the dojo Rudy had the goat in his office waiting for the ring to pass through, and Milton and Eddie were waiting out in the lobby hoping for some good luck, until.... Milton pulled a ball out from under his arm that he said he'd had an itch there all day and once he opened it he'd found the ring inside. They were gonna go in and tell Rudy but he was really upset, and so they decided to stick the ring on the bench and leave.

At the venue they caught the culprit, and he told his envious story that he'd told us before he had us kicked out that had started this whole mess. And once he was gone Izzy thanked us for saving his life that we were more than just his bodyguards that we were his friends. He offered us to come on the road with him, the pro was that we'd be as far away from home as possible should mom ever break out of prison and come back, but the con was that we'd be far from home from our friends and other family.

He said he wished he could give anything to stay here and have friends like us, and when Jerry asked him why didn't he just do that, Izzy said he was a famous Rockstar and that his life was amazing. The manager came in to tell Izzy that the fans had been demanding an encore and were gonna tear the place apart if they didn't get one, but he said he didn't have a full band.

Even though we couldn't go on the road with him that didn't mean we were gonna pass up the opportunity right now to be a time band with Izzy for the rest of the night and preform with him and then after tonight he'd most likely just be a solo act from then on. But we had a great time.

Everyone was safe and we were rocking out, even still when we got back to the dojo we got rocker jackets and told him next time he was in town to call us up and he said he was gonna keep in touch with us and then his driver showed up and with his magic stick they were gone in a puff of smoke. Well Izzy did say his driver was a wizard, and he had disappeared like one.
