Announcer: At Warriors for Hire Headquarters! Excitement!

I'm so bored!

Why don't you try reading?

Meh. Not enough pictures.

[ Doorbell rings ] Your loss.

I'll get it!

Welcome to Warriors for --

Yay! I wanna hire you guys for a super special assignment.

Aww, Grup, that's so thoughtful.

Why are you knocking when you live here?

I mean, what is it?

I wanna be the biggest music star

in all of Rhyboflaven!

Well, that's -- Cool! Tell me more!

There's a contest tomorrow.

I signed up to sing a song, and I want to hire you

to play your Accordion Magisword to back me up on stage.

And, uh, how much you paying, exactly?

Three Jemms. Boo!

And a coupon for 99% off any Magisword at Ralphio's.

Hot broccoli nuggets! Let's ding-dong do this!

Yay!

Oh, and, Vambre, I'ma need your moral support,

so if you cheer me on, I'll give you a cut of my prized Jemms.

With those Jemms, I could purchase the special edition,

ultra rare "Veronica Victorious and the Gratuitous Cameos"!

Okay, buddy. What do you need me to play?

Oh, I don't know yet.

I haven't actually started writing my song.

Och! Grup, the contest's tomorrow and you

don't have a song?

Well, that's no problem, either. Songwritin's my speciality.

I wanna be the one who writes the song.

It's deeply personal.

Grup's going to his office at the Cave of Stuff where he --

I can pour my heart out into lyrical abandon.

Oh, and thanks for taking the job. Yay!

Well, I guess you're just going to have to wait it ou--

I gotta go help Grup write the song!

Please?! No!

Pretty please?! No, no!

Just a little songwriting?

It'll be a great bonding experience.

Oof! Uh, howdy, Skullivan, Lady Hiss.

Uh, if you'll just excuse me, I was just following Grup --

Yeah, about that.

You can't come back this way, special orders.

What?! You monsters!

Turns out.

So take off, brah. Shoo.

Engh! Engh! Shoo. Shoo.

Dang it. I can barely see.

Ah, who am I kiddin'?

I need some cooler spy gear.

Announcer: Telescope Magisword!

Ah, much better. And look. There's Grup.

Poor duder, feeling like he can't ask for my help.

Luckily for him, I can watch him without his permission.

Rats! He's gone!

I need to get closer.

[ Warbling ]

Ow! What the...

Uncle Steve?

Yeah. [ Sighs ]

[ Gulps ] What the...

Just let Grup work!

The competition's in 10 minutes and I'm gonna talk to Grup,

and there's nothing you guy can do to stop me!

Go ahead, dude. We're on our break. Union rules.

Okay, great! [ Chuckles ]

Grup, we gotta go, like, now!

Finished! I'll say.

Oh, gosh, we gotta hurry or we'll miss the contest!

Well -- No time to talk!

Let's go!

Ah, good thing I've been waiting here

for an unknown period of time.

Did you finish your opus?

No, but my song's done. And I got it right here.

Excellent! Can you give me a sample?

Sure thing, sis. Let's just have a look-see here.

[ Gagging ]

Prohyas dear, what's wrong?

Did you swallow a bug?

Welcome, gentlefolk,

to the Royal Entertainer Eleganza Bonanza,

presented by the lovely Princess Zange.

Yo.

Remember, the winner will not only win 500 Jemms,

but will also win the title of Official Royal Entertainer.

Are you all ready for a good time?

[ Cheers and applause ] Now let's review

some key rules.

The contest is open... Please be careful!

Just relax. I got this.

...employees of the royal court, the royal dungeon,

and their respective partners and agencies,

immediate families and their respective spouses...

I got the phattest stack of laffin' wax, man!

T-T-Treejay in the morning!

Well, how 'bout this motley crew?

They're pretty motley.

They're all highly unlikely to succeed.

We're in deep Grup soup.

Reginald: And now our next performer, Phil,

will demonstrate his skill -- Ah, rhyming.

Hey! Let's scope out the competition.

A capital idea! Yay!

I, Phil, will juggle with the fervency

of no less than 10 jugglers.

Now watch very closely,

and keep your beautiful eyes on the clubs.

Wah-ha! Wha-ho! Wah-ha! Wha-ho!

[ Crowd "Oohs" ] Keep watching, folks.

Ha-ha! Wha-ha! Wha-ho! Wha-hee! Zing!

And...ha-ha!

Thank you. You are all too kind to Phil.

That was... Rubbish.

Hmm. Maybe we'll be okay after all.

I mean the song is pretty simple,

but that just means it's simple enough to work.

Aah! Vambre?

Back! Back! Verminous Vermin!

Hey! Leave my babies alone!

Hiss! Vambre, simmer!

Those little squirrels are in tiny cages.

They can't get you.

You're probably correct, Prohyas.

Oh, except that you're wrong! Spectacularly wrong!

They are vile, rotten scoundrels!

You're a loon, just like my ex horse!

Well, my third one. Madeline was cool.

Squirrels are evil!

Come on. Let's get you away from the squirrels

and a possible lawsuit.

It's okay, babies.

She's just jealous on account of you're all prettier than her.

[ Chuckles ] Man, I'm edgy.

Sis, there's no need to be scared.

Scared?! Ha ha! I am not scared of squirrels!

I just find them creepy, that's all.

They all look like they're up to something.

Just what could they be hiding in their chubby cheeks?!

I'm on to you!

And now, please welcome master impressionist, Nohyas!

Hi, germs and more germs! No, yeah!

And now my impression of that lady right there!

Ooh?

Announcer: Pencil Magisword!

[ Scribbling ]

[ High-pitched ] Look at me. I'm that lady right there.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank me, Rhyboflaven.

I've been a great audience.

No, yeah! Ugh.

You may actually end up winning this thing, Grup.

It's what I was born to do.

Well, hello,

Snore-iors for Hire. Snore.

Well, hello yourself, ditch way!

Ditch way?

Yeah, 'cause you both act so low.

Like you're in a ditch or maybe you dig ditches or something?

So, yeah! Take that!

Burn! Oh, snap! Oh, no, he did not even!

You guys better get some aloe for that burn!

Well, I'm going to go ahead

and not dignify that with a response.

So we can go onstage and win,

and show everyone what losers you are.

[ Chuckles ] Losers.

Och! Morbidia only seems menacing

because she has someone following her around,

picking one word from what she has just said

and repeating it when her sentence ends.

Picking.

Up next, the magic of Witch Way.

Power!

[ Crowd "Oohs" ]

Excitement!

[ Crowd "Ahhs" ]

Passion! Mwah!

[ All giggling ]

Och. Boo!

Nope! Nope, nope! Nope, nope, nope, nope! Nope!

This is what we offer the royal court of the fair kingdom.

For today's amazing feat of transmogrification,

we will need...this hat!

My hat! Thief!

Behold our wonder,

as we pull a live rabbit from this very tiny hat!

Swelvateen, velveteen!

Every bu-- Ugh.

Do I really have to say this?

If you want to get paid, you do.

[ Sighs ] Every bunny loves Witch Way.

[ Fireworks exploding ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you! Thank you!

Boing.

That wasn't even a real magic trick!

And they can actually do real magic!

Dear brother, Grup, please administer unto Witch Way

whatever is the entertainment equivalent of a sound thrashing.

With pleasure, Vamburrito.

And now our final applicant, a song from Grup.

I-I hope you aren't upset by the stuff I added.

Not at all.

You were an excellent backup singer.

Here's the three Jemms and coupon I owe you, Prohyas.

I'm gonna get something stupid expensive for stupid cheap!

Stupidly said. Stupid right!
