"A six!?" Ninja glares up at Howard.

"Now it's a five, you wanna keep going?"

"I'm gonna give you a five." Ninja grumbles under his breath, crossing his arms.

Even though I'm still kinda mad at Howard, I do find their banter entertaining. It's kinda cute when the Ninja's all grumpy. Wait what. 

"Another job well done." I held my fist up to him. He looks at my fist first then to my face. I give him a smile. 

I can tell from his eyes that he smiles back, and held his fist up too, we both fist bump eachother. "Guess this is gonna be a usual thing after every battle. Huh, Yoyo." 

I nod and give a small laugh, "One day, I'll get used to that nickname." 

He pulls out smokeball, we proceeded to smokebomb away. "Smoke bomb!"

"What's up? It's H-dub hitting you live from the N-ville High T-show." Heidi is doing her livestream on the talent show.

"Do we really have to do this?" Randy whispers from behind.

"You booked the stage for four hours. Back from the Yo Bros and Ashlynn are the only act you let in. Now get out there."

The curtains open up to reveal Randy dressed in the school's carp mascot outfit holding an accordian while Howard is dressed as a clown with twirling baton sticks.

"This is all your fault. We were clearly unqualified to be judges." Howard blames his best friend beside him. They proceeded to perform, Randy playing the accordian and Howard twirling the sticks. The stick flew out of Howard's hand as it nearly hits Randy in the face.

The audience boo at them.

"Hey, Howard. Off. My. Stage." Morgan yells out.

"Me? What about Randy?"

"You too, Randy!" Juggo mocked from below.

Both of them smiled "Sweet! They know both our names. Plan worked! Ten out of ten!" Randy says as they do their best friend handshake.

The audience continues to boo at them while throwing food on stage. Some smacking onto Randy's face. Howard wipes some off and taste it. "Hmm, chocolate."

Ashlynn sweatdropped at the two best friends unbothered by the crowd. I guess they weren't lying when they said they didn't care.

「 Ashlynn's pov 」

The Talent Show was coming to a close, as Heidi prepares to announce the winner.

"It's the end of the show folks and the votes are in. The winner of Norisville High's Talent Show is... Ashlynn Campbell!"

All eyes turn to me as I raise my head in shock at the announcement. "Wait w-w-what!? You gotta be kidding."

"Nope, almost everyone including the livestream viewers voted for you. What do you have to say to that?" Her small camera attached to her hat pointed at me. Displaying my face on screen.

"Oh! Well... thank you everyone. I honestly didn't expect to win even though there were only a few contestants. But I appreciate it nonetheless. Maybe look forward to more songs in the future."
