Abueobed Basement Recording Studio:
Ashley began cackling like a mad woman as her song behan playing.
"I love myself, I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself, I want you to find me
I forget myself, I want you to remind me"
Miley laughed, as she knew Ashley. Emily was embarrassed by Ashley's lewd dancing as she sang a song about masturbating. Mitchel was interested.
"Calm down, Smokin' Oaken. She eats taco not burrito." Miley whispered.
"Even better. If I can't join I can watch." Mitch whispered back.
"I don't think her overprotective sibling will let you." Miley whispered back.
The judges kept bickering with whispers as Ashley kept singing.
"I touch myself, I touch myself
(When I think about you) I touch myself, I touch myself
(I don't want anybody else) I touch myself, I touch myself
(When I think about you I touch myself) I honestly do, I touch myself
(I don't want anybody else) I touch myself, I touch myself
(When I think about you I touch myself) I honestly do, I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself"
Ashley collapsed on the stage with orgasmic bliss.
"I wanna have what she's having." Said Miley. Emily groaned at Miley's remark. Mitchel hit the 5 button.
"Girl cums, I grant top marks. I'm a simple.man." Said Mitchel.
"The song IS called I touch myself. It just didn't need to be that graphic." Said Emily. "But it's not as bad as grinding on Robin Thicke's junk."
"Really, lesser Osment? " Said Miley. "I'll make sure your brother sees you!"
"Hey hey hey hey hey! What is going on, here?"
Exclaimed Nick using his Power of Sire forgetting that Miley and Emily weren't Succubi, but his booming voice stopped the fight. "Charity. Remember. We can have you mud fighting later, right now we need to think about the children, the puppies, and all of your charities." Said Nick. "Jen, I'm going up."
Nick grabbed the stool. He blindfolded himself with a navy blue Bandana. He gave Jenny a thumbs up and the song began playing.
"Petals of white
Cover fields
Flowing in grieving tears
And all the hearts
Once new,
Old and shattered now
Love can kill,
Love will die
Give me wings to fly
Fleeing this world so cold
I just wonder why."
Nick sang as the Bandana grew darker on his eyes. His voice was beautiful and full of sorrow.
"Cold as the dark
Now my words,
Are frosted with every breath
Still the heat
Burns wild,
Growing inside this heart
When the wind
Changes course
When the stars align
I will reach out
To you and leave this all behind
When heavens divide."
Nick's voice broke a little bit at the end as his Bandana was getting more soaked.
"When heavens divide
I will see
The choices within my hands
How can we ever protect
And fight with our tiny souls
Let me shine
Like the sun
Through the doubts and fear
Do you feel the storm
Approach as the end draws near"
Amidst the tears Nick kept singing on and staring at his hands.
When heavens divide
Time will come
To softly lay me down
Then I can see a face
That I long to see
And for you,
Only you
I would give anything
Leaving a trace
For love
To find a way
When heavens divide."
Nick kept singing on as his eyes were in full waterworks mode. The front of his Bandana was completely soaked and a bit of runny mucus was pooling in his right nostril threatening to drip.
"I will dive into
The fire
Spilling the blood of
My desire
The very last time
My name
Scorched into
The sky"
Sang Nick as he sprung up from The stool and a renewed determination.
"When heavens divide
I will see
The choices within my hands
How can we ever protect
And fight with our tiny souls
Let me shine
Like the sun
Through the doubts and fear
Do you feel the storm
Approach as the end draws near
When heavens divide
Time will come
To softly lay me down
Then I can see a face
That I long to see
And for you,
Only you
I would give anything
Leaving a trace
For love
To find a way
When heavens divide."
Nick sang with his voice quivering as he was silently ugly crying as he pushed through with the song.
"And for you,
Only you
I would give anything
Leaving a trace
For love
To find a way
When heavens divide"
Nick's voice cracked at the end before falling to his knees and crying. The judges were stunned.
Jenny helped Nick up.
"Wow. I miss her too! But, this is a competition, and She wouldn't want her son to give up!" Said Jenny in her normal voice."UP! UP! DOWN! DOWN! LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT! RIGHT! B! A! START!!!" Exclaimed Jenny as Nick stood.
"Sorry, I got a bit carried away.' Said Nick.
"Uh, are you OK?" Asked Emily concerned. Her anger towards Nick's demonic nature temporarily forgotten.
"OK, so that's from a game." Said Mitchel. "Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. A sequel to MGS3, Snake Eater." Said Mitchel as he read from the internet. "The lyrics refer to the turmoil Naked Snake felt after having to kill his Mentor, The Boss and how he spiraled into becoming a villain."
"Damn." Said Miley.
"Wait, is this about the pain of losing his Mom?" Emily mused. "The rawness of your pain was heavily palpable. It helped your voice and you did pretty good. A few hiccups aside. Next time pick something that won't have you breaking down on stage." Emily pressed the 4.
"I liked the theatrics with the Bandana." Said Mitchel. "Next time use a lighter color so everyone can see your raw emotion leaking. I also agree with Em." Mitchel hit the button for 4.
Miley lowered her head.
"This is borderline cheating and emotional manipulation. I know your background story and you dropped this bomb on us. But that's something we'll discuss off-air; now it's Judgment time!" Miley said as she hit the 3. "I know the GameDude's lore, so I can see why this song is tearing your soul apart. With that said, having a meltdown on stage is not healthy."
Jenny was trying to figure who to call next when Celeste approached the stage.
Jenny began playing the music and Celeste began singing.
"Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the Gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?"
Miley chuckled as she remember the significance of that song and Celeste. Mitchel was vibing and Emily seemed focused on Nick's reaction to Celeste. He was crying but smiling at the same time. It wasn't a forced smile though.
"You are a gigantic contradiction." She thought.
"I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero
'Til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
(Larger than life)" Celeste kept singing as everyone was vibing.
"I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero
'Til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero
'Til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life"
"Oscar! You will not get away! I AM REALLY PISSED OFF!"
Exclaimed Celeste before tossing the Mic at Jenny.
"Was that a Short Circuit 2 reference?" Said Emily. "I'm unaware of the lore here. Pretty sure that's an inside joke. In any case. A 4, since you were slightly out of sync."
"I have to give uh, the pigtailed girl a 4 as well. Performance was good, bit it could be better."

Chloe sang before making the Perry noise.
"C'est Perry, Perry l'ornithorynque" sang Chloe
"(You can call him Agent P)" Yelled Ashley
"Perry" sang Chloe.
"(I said you can call him Agent P)" Ashley replied
"Agent P!" Sang Chloe before bowing.
The judges were a bit confused.
"We went through two songs dealing with childhood traumas. I thought a little levity would soften the whole thing." Said Chloe.
"Still, why Perry the Platypus?" Asked Mitchel.
"I can't do a Doofenshmirtz voice for J'ai un Ornithornyque qui me contrôle." Said Chloe.
"That was a weird flex, singing in French." Said Mitchel. "You got a 4. Had to dock a point for Ashley doing the Major Monogram parts in English."
"At least it wasn't Caillou." Said Emily. " It was nice but it was a meme song. You get les quatre."
"Eh, I'm feeling chaotic. Tres!" Said Miley rolling the R as if she was making a Moises Arias impression of Rico, as she pushed the button for three.
Natsumi grabbed the Mic. "I was going to sing a Japanse version of We Don't Talk about Bruno, but the song is hypocritical as they sing about him. So, Jenny, play the Goldeen Music." Natsumi exclaimed as the music started.
"My Invisalign has funny
I have taken out my Invisalign
I have taken out my Invisalign, and this is the album
White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleepin', you're on your tippy-toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal"
The judges listened attentively as Natsumi sang and surprisingly, her Japanese accent wasn't there.
"I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy"
There her Japanese accent slipped for a moment before returning to the American accent. Natsumi kept singing.
"I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone
You said she's scared of me? I mean, I don't see what she sees
But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne
I'm a bad guy
I'm, I'm a bad guy (bad guy, bad guy)
I'm a bad—"
She bowed and Jenny came back to hostess mode and cheered. "What do the Judges have to say?"
Mitchel stroked his chin. "Okay so Kage is Japanese, but her accent wasn't noticeable except at the first I'm the Bad guy. I swear I heard I'm the baddo gai. Which was a bit too cute! It's a 4."
"Dang it, why can't you guys suck!? I feel like we've been way too generous with the 4s and 5s." Said Emily. "4 is your score."
"You have improved a lot since last time. 5" Said Miley.
Barbara grabbed the Mic. Jenny began playing the music. Nick put his head down and clamped his eyes shut.
"Your fingertips moving gently to my heart
The force of life goes on and on." Barbara sang passionately.
"The song remains like a haunting melody
Of angel music held in chains
And I ask you:
Can we ease the pain of those who lost? (The force of life goes on)
Can we know the cause of all this sorrow? (Tears and loneliness)
Can we catch the tears of a broken world?
Falling down upon the earth, falling down"
Nick looked up and connected his gaze with Barbara's, he nodded and Barbara kept on singing. Then the song switched.
"Run through the cold of night as passion burns in your heart
Ready to fight, a knife held close by your side
Like a proud wolf alone in the dark with eyes that watch the world
And my name like a shadow on the face of the moon"
The judges were vibing as Nick still was connected to Barbara despite his watery eyes. Barbara kept singing.
"We met in the mist of morning
And parted deep in the night
Broken sword and shield and tears that never fall
But run through the heart
Washed away by the darkest water
The world is peaceful and still
Broken mirror
A million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer and then
We can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world"
Barbara dropped the mic and was about to collapse when Nick used VG Logic to teleport to her side and catch her.
"You're a coward..." Barbara said not noticing the mic picked that up.
"That's right! I'm a coward!" Nick replied before scooping her up.
Ashley played the Xenogears clip that Nick and Barbara were referencing. "Squaresoft, bringing dinguses together."
Jenny picked up the Mic and pointed towards the judges. "So, Judges wudgies? Who won?"
Miley shrugged. "Eh. We're we keeping tally of these? With all the fours and fives we gave, it's too messed up to answer. We need more pilots and Last year's Pains... with an agent, y'all could release a cover album and. It would sell." She said.
Mitchel chuckled. "Y'all heard our fearless leader, y'all." He said in a faux southern drawl. "The songs were from a videogame. I remember seeing this cutscene as part of bad Videogame voicedubs when doomscrolling on the toilet once." Said Mitchel.
"Lore explanation, please?" Asked Emily.
"Last videogame GameDude was playing with his Mom a few weeks before her untimely passing. Also, Mary Sue's first stepcousin once removed taught her the game. When they met in Jr. High, GD and MS bonded over a few things and this game was one of them as it was a bit obscure in 2017." Said Natsumi.
"Wait, Mary Sue is a gamer? No, not just a gamer, a gamer hipster!" Emily Exclaimed half jokingly. "But what's the game about?"
"It's a Japanese RPG, very convoluted stuff that we shouldn't get into!" Exclaimed a panicked Nick.
"It's the story of a dude who is destined to kill God and how he tries to avoid his own fate, but fails in the end, but it's OK as he gets the redheaded chick in the end." Said Bertram. "But to be fair, 95% of JRPGs are about killing God."
"Okay... Haley Joel was right about that." Said Emily. "If you're still keeping score at home, Mary Sue gets a 5 from me."
"But the real winner is not determined by the cast of Hannah Montana. That is determined by the viewers back home. By picking a winer, they also support a charity that will get an extra bonus donation." Jenny chirped. "Next year it won't be Karaoke. We may try something more refined, like competitive dancing or fencing." Now done, Jenny left to edit the footage. Emily walked towards Nick.
"Tell me the truth." Said Emily. "Were your tears genuine as in you still grieve her?"
"Yes." Said Nick. "A piece of me died when I was 8. Back when I thought it was cancer that killed my Mom. A few months ago I had to go back in time and witness my tyrannical great grandmother Kill her and unable to save her, as her death is a fixed point in time. Only to learn a little while later that the cancer eating my Mom was her suppressing MY POWER in order to protect me from my evil great grandmother. My Mom has died 3 times and I've been responsible for all three. My birth doomed her the first time. My dicking around with the timeline had her jump into her death to save me. She sacrificed her soul to oblivion in order to stop me from trying to revive her. I will never see my Mom again on this life or the next." Said Nick as tears flowed like waterfalls from his eyes.
"Look at my hands" Said Nick as he put his shaky hands in front of Emily. "You can't see it, but these hands have NEVER BEEN CLEAN, since they were destined to commit matricide ever since I lived in my mother's womb. For years I trained so I could avenge my Mom and kill her killer. I have been denied that, because my Mom sacrificed herself so her killer could live. I will walk the Earth for thousands of years outliving my friends and family knowing that I'll never see my Mom again." Said Nick while sniffling. "I can't even give away my powers in order to save my Mom, because it would doom the Earth. The only reason I haven't said 'fuck it' and taken over the world as 'fate' dictates I do, is because I embrace my humanity. I owe that to these girls here and others who gave me their love, despite knowing WHAT I AM AND WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO. So, yes, my tears were true. They burn my soul like hot magma. They sting like acid sliding down my face, but like you, my tears are just salty water with other stuff." Said Nick.
"So, you think I'm somehow worthy of playing her?" Said Emily. "Why?"
"Because, you physically may not be a 1:1match, but, You could most definitely play her, as she's a cross between Deadpool and Lola Luftnagle." Said Miley. "Yes, I met Nick's Mom's ghost." Emily sighed.
"Wait... Your voices are similar. I know you're a capable actress and you do look a but like her, we'll, back when she was healthier." Said Nick as Ashley made a pop up window with a Pic of Carmen next to a pic of Emily appear.
"I can see the resemblance." Said Emily. "You still trust me? Despite me despising what you are, what she was?"
"Read the journals, watch the videos." Said Nick. "I trust you as an actor, as a human being. In fact, I want to invite you and your husband to come upstairs so you can read them in her room and see what made her tick. Jenny will be at yourĺĺĺ beck and call."
"So, Nick, buddy!" Said Mitchel "Think you got a role for your pal Smokin Oaken?"
"Not for Oaken, but maybe for Candace's boyfriend Jeremy." Nick replied. "It won't be as big as Osment's role but How do you feel playing a Government Agent?"
"I'll take it!" Said Mitchel. "I'm not desperate, but I need to get back out there. You understand, right?"
Miley grabbed Nick. "You know JWB won't like you going public..." she whispered.
"Story is heavily redacted, events and names changed for story purposes. Things like Unca John, his role, Lilith, and some of my heritage is edited out. Tribble and the Neutrinos are heavily altered. You are just plain Celebrity Miley Cyrus, who befriended the MuTeens because Babs is awesome. I hope you'll play the role of Miley." Said Nick.
A few hours later both Emily and Jack A. return to the basement bawling their eyes out. As soon as they see Nick, they both hug him hard. Then they do the same to Ashley.
"Nick, Ashley, wow. Your Mom loved you so much! All the things she did, all the things she couldn't do. When our time to have kids comes, I hope I can love them half of what your Mom loved you." Said Jack A.
"I want to, no, I NEED to play your Mom. Such a tragic story, full of Sacrifice and a Mother's love. Hell, your Mom deserves her own movie and not just an abridged background role in the MuTeens movie." Said Emily.
"See, Dingus? Gertie Giggles gets it." Said Ashley. Mr. Cade and Redd entered via Transmat.
"Sorry to cut the party short, but the exDisney folks need to return to California and the MuTeens need to get back to Manhattan. That includes you, Nick Jr. All hands on Deck! This is not a drill." Said Mr. Cade.
"Hey! You're Gabby from Young and Hungry!" Said Redd. "And you're King Brady! Come, come! Get your stuff and Let's go!" Said Redd as the guests grabbed their stuff.
"What's the threat, Old Man?" Nick asked.
"Technodrome." Said Mr. Cade dead serious.
