Summary: Milton and Y/N get bailed on by their friends because it's "not their thing". But, Rudy offers to help. Then the dojo realizes they're stronger together.
Everyone was stretching in the dojo when Jerry ran in.
"Guys, huge problem!" He started, "Kelsey Vargas, the coolest girl in school, is on her way down here."
"Don't panic." Jack assured, "We've trained for this. Guys, bust out the emergency deodorant."
Y/N rolled their eyes, "So you'll put on deodorant for Kelsey, but not for Kim and I? Way to make some girls feel special."
Jerry rolled his eyes, "I don't need deodorant!"
"Yes, you do." Y/N said
"We all need deodorant. We're teenage boys." Milton replied, " Our bodies are a smorgasbord of smells.
Eddie nodded, "I'm not taking any chances, I'm wearing a necklace made of air fresheners right now."
He pulled out a necklace of tree shaped air fresheners and inhaled.
"This week I'm Alpine Meadow."
Jerry shook his head and turned to Y/N and Kim.
"I told Kelsey I was a martial arts expert and the youngest sensei in history." Jerry explained
Y/N cackled, "Oh, you're screwed dude."
Kim made a face and walked off. Rudy approached Jerry.
"Jerry," Rudy greeted
"Oh, Rudy, Kelsey's on her way." Jerry replied, "Dude, please hook me up with that black belt!"
Rudy frowned, "You can't have this belt! Its a symbol of hard work, honor, and respect."
"Well, then why do you use it to walk your dog?" Jack asked
Rudy turned to Jack, "That was one time and it was an emergency. I had a pug with the squirts and new white carpet! Look, can we stop talking and get to sparring please?"
Rudy looked around, " Jerry, you're up against Kim. Milton, you're with Y/N. Eddie, you're with Jack."
"Jack?!" Eddie despaired
Jack did some warm up moves, much to Eddie's dismay. Y/N chuckled.
"Don't scare him too much, Jack." They hollered
Jack smiled, "Wouldn't dream of it."
"Uh, hold on. My phone is vibrating," Eddie panicked, " You know I hate to be that guy but- Hello?"
Eddie held his wallet to his face.
"You mean the guy who pretends his wallet is a phone?" Jack replied
Eddie shushed him, "Please, shh! Can you hear me now?"
And Eddie left the dojo.
Rudy clapped his hands, "Come on, guys, let's go!"
As they all prepped to spar, Kelsey walked into the dojo she stopped standing next to Rudy. Y/N waved lightly as they settled into their stance opposite Milton.
"Hi, Jerry," Kelsey greeted
Jerry spun around, "Kelsey, what a surprise."
"So, these are your students who fear and respect you?" She asked
Kim smiled tightly, "Yes, we are. I'm about to fear and respect the living grits out of him right now."
"Oh, no," Jerry panicked, quietly toward Kim, "Not my grits, I'm gonna need my grits!"
Kim was quick to grab his arm and flip him. Y/N cackled, offering Kim a high five.
"Wipeout!" Y/N chuckled
Jerry stumbled to his feet, "Yeah, I'd say you've got that move down pretty well! Oh, you guys take a five. Kelsey and I are gonna get a froyo."
Jerry stumbled toward Kelsey and Rudy.
"Oh, come on, Kelsey," Jerry groaned
Kelsey put out her arm to go with him, but Jerry stumbled and wrapped his arm around Rudy instead. Leaving Kelsey confused.
At school the next day, Jerry was all grump because of Kim embarrassing him.
He stalked down the stairs, "Hey, thanks a lot, Kim! You cost me a date with the coolest girl in school!"
"What are you gonna do, sensei, "She asked sarcastically, "throw me out of the dojo?"
Eddie chuckled.
"Kim, in the future, let's respect Jerry enough not to embarrass him in front of the girls he's lying to." Jack teased
Jerry completely missed the point, "Thank you , Jack! It's called decency, Kim."
The four heard a kazoo playing fanfare and kids laughing on the other end of the hall. They watched as Milton and Y/N marched through in totally embarrassing (in their opinion) royal garb.
Milton trotted to the staircase and announced, "All hail Miltonius, and his enchanting sidekick the Lady Y/N/N! The newly crowned king and queen of Narnia!"
"See, Milton, this is the reason you had to go to spring formal with a bio lab skeleton." Jack pointed out, "And Y/N what are you doing?"
"I'll have you know that Bonita is an excellent dancer," Milton protested
Y/N shrugged, "I'm having fun, Jack. I even made mine and Milton's outfits, do you like?"
Y/N did a little twirl, showing off the intricate design they'd sewn. Jerry smiled and offered a little clap for them.
Eddie interjected, "Hey, I know what's going on! It's that time of year when all the dorks come out and play swords and magic in the park!"
"Or if it rains we use the bingo hall at the senior center!" Milton added, "We tear it up!"
"Yeah we do!" Y/N cheered, giving Milton a high-five
As they spoke, Kelsey walked past the group.
"Hi, Jerry," She greeted
Jerry pushed Milton and Y/N out of the way, "Hey, Kelsey. I was just talking to these kids I've never seen before! I don't even know their names! Right, Milton? Really, Jerry?"
Milton ignored him, "Guys, big news! This year, you guys are all gonna participate in the battle with us!"
"It's going to be so fun!" Y/N chimed in
"What happened to all your other friends?" Kim asked, "You know, the ones who throw up when I try to talk to them."
"This years things are a little complicated," Milton explained, " Francis has a bassoon recital, Jeffrey is a finalist in the Mathlympics, and Louis got grounded for teaching his cockatiel bed words."
"Dude, we're not gonna be a part of your nerdfest," Jerry protested
Milton chuckled, "Very funny, Jerry."
"Nerdfest is in Minneapolis in October, duh!" Y/N laughed
Jack stood, "See, Milton, a bunch of dudes in tights running around the woods beating each other senseless with foam swords-- It's just not our thing."
"Well, it's our thing," Milton proposed, gesturing to Y/N, " And we wanna share this moment with my best friends. That's you guys."
Eddie shook his head, "I don't know. I just quit the cello and threw out my panda bear backpack. I'm just starting to get cool!"
"Come on! Just give it a chance!" Milton pleaded
Y/N looked at the ground, realizing their friends weren't going to budge. Which suddenly made them feel very uncomfortable in their outfit.
"Soon you'll know the exhilaration of bonding down a hill, cape aflutter, to slay a half-elf with a foam rubber axe!" Milton insisted, "Are you with me? All for one and one for- Gah!"
He shouted in despair as he realized the rest of their friends had left them.
"I probably lost them at 'cape aflutter'!" He bemoaned
Y/N played with the lace on the cuffs of their sleeves, pulling lightly at the loose threads they had yet to surge off. Milton came over and put a hand on their shoulder.
"I already made their outfits," Y/N mumbled
"I know, buddy, I know." Milton said empathetically before guiding them away
After school, Milton and Y/N were the first to the dojo. Immediately, Milton was complaining to Rudy while Y/N sat sullenly on a bench.
"I can't believe our own friends bailed on us!" Milton grumbled
Rudy shrugged, "I don't know. Running around in the woods, beating other dudes senseless with foam swords? That just sounds like a good time to me!"
Milton huffed, "Y/N made their costumes and everything!"
"You know what?" Rudy asked, "I love stuff like this!"
Y/N's eyes shot up, a small smile on their face. Milton turned and looked at their sensei.
"Are you saying you'll go into battle with me?" Milton asked hopefully
Rudy smiled, "It would be an honor... my lord."
Rudy bowed to Milton, who couldn't wipe the smile from his face.
"Wow," Milton acknowledged, "You two may be the only real friends I have."
Milton turned and grabbed a bo staff off the wall. He held it high with a smile.
"With this bo staff I bud thee, Rudy, my faithful squire!" Milton announced
"I can't believe it," Rudy giggled, "I'm a squire! I'm a squire! I'm a squire!"
That weekend, Rudy, Y/N, and Milton all took to the park with their weapons and costumes to go into battle. Rudy, being the squire, had the backpack full of everything. The three stumbled into the clearing where battle would start.
Rudy gasped for air, "You know, I don't think this squiring thing is for me."
"This turkey leg isn't gonna salt itself!" Milton insisted
Y/N chuckled, "My lord, I think we ought to give him a break."
Rudy huffed and pulled out his salt shaker, salting the turkey leg as Milton had asked.
"Dang it, I left my grape juice in the Port-a-Pooper!" Milton complained
Rudy shook his head.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go get it!"
Rudy turned and hobbled away to get Milton his grape juice. Y/N turned to Milton.
"Don't get me wrong, Mil. I'm glad Rudy is here," Y/N began, "But, I kind of wish Jerry or at least Eddie was here."
Milton sighed, "Yeah, me too. But, at least Rudy didn't leave us hanging, right?"
Y/N shrugged, "Yeah, I guess it just hurts that they weren't really willing to do for us what we do for them. I almost kissed Truman for Eddie, and he won't put on a cape and beat some guys up for us?"
"Yeah, I know Y/N/N, but we have each other. And we have Rudy."
Meanwhile, back at the dojo Jack, Eddie, and Kim exited into the food court as Jerry danced up. He was in a really good mood.
"Oh, guys, check it out! I smoothed everything out with Kelsey!" Jerry announced, " I promised I would never lie to her again, and I got a date with her this afternoon."
"Yeah!" Eddie encouraged
"The kid is back in the game! Whoo!" Jerry cheered
Jack dapped him up. But Eddie pointed out something behind them both.
"Nerd alert," Eddie stated
They turned around as Sidney and his friends approached.
"Greetings. We are the Dark Knights!" Sidney announced, "Warriors known for being brave and ferocious and-"
Kim cut him off, "Ferocious? Sidney, you cried in science when your fruit fly died."
"That fruit fly left behind 3,000 babies." Sidney narrowed his eyes, " Milton and Y/N said they put together a band of loyal warriors that will finally capture our grail and defeat us. Like that's going to happen!"
Sidney gave his best (yet it was still terrible) evil laugh. Jack cringed.
"Dude, dude, dude," Jack protested, "That evil laugh is so not working."
Sidney turned to his other friend, "Thanks, Benny. You told me it was intimidating!"
Benny shrugged, Sidney stormed off past him. Leaving the four Wasabi warriors in their place.
Jack was first to break the silence.
"Woah, guys, Milton and Y/N called us their loyal warriors." Jack considered, "Now they're gonna be out there all alone against a flock of dweebs hopped up on Honey Buns."
Kim grimaced, "Uhm, Jack, are you saying we should go to the park and help them? Because, uhh- I-- I can't. My, uh, Aunt Charlotte-- yeah, she's coming in from, uhm, Charlotte and we're gonna go watch Charlotte's Web. Wow, I am not good at lying."
Jack sighed, "Look, they've both always been there for us! Jerry, what about that time where you tried to get Kelsey jealous by making her think you were dating a cheerleader? Who helped you out?"
"Milton," Jerry conceded, "Wow, you're right. He was there for me... Did you know that Brian Donnelly actually asked him out?"
"Eddie," Jack insisted, "What about you? You hate going to visit your nana."
Eddie nodded, "That's because she always wants to do things to my hair."
"But who always goes with you?" Jack asked
"Y/N and Milton," Eddie answered, "Sometimes I think nana loves them more than me. And I'm okay with that!"
"And Kim!" Jack continued, "What about that time at the St.Patrick's Day Concert when you lost your voice? Who got you through that?"
Kim sighed as she thought back, "Y/N."
Jack looked around at his friends.
"Guys, I think you know what we have to do." He incited
They all went inside and changed into the outfits Y/N had hung up for them in the locker room. Eddie and Jack exited, Eddie dressed like a bardish elf and Jack dressed like an English knight.
"Seriously?" Eddie complained, "Is this really what we have to do?"
"Yes, it is!" Jack insisted, grimacing himself
The two tried to adjust themselves to be as comfortable as possible. As Kim and Jerry exited. Kim wearing the pink and purple princess dress that had been sewn for her, and Jerry in his tartan kilt.
"Come on," Jerry grumbled, "Let's go to the park."
"I don't get it," Kim groaned, "Why do I have to be the princess?"
"I am not swapping!" Eddie was quick to say
Then the four took off toward the park. Jerry slowed for a moment and looked at a lady who had been staring.
"Hey lady," he snapped, "Eyes up here, okay? Ugh, these sexy legs are a curse!"
The four tromped through the park, out of breath and sweaty as all get out.
"I can't take this anymore!" Eddie hollered, "It's hot, my feet are killing me, and these elf ears are starting to get sweaty!"
He pulled one of the ears off and wrung out the sweat from it to prove his point. Causing Jack and Kim to grimace.
"You don't get to complain," Jack countered, "We could have stayed on the path to the battlefield, but noOoOoO, you knew a shortcut through the woods!"
Jack snatched the ear out of Eddies hand and yelled into it.
"This is not a shortcut Eddie!"
"Relax!" Eddie insisted, "I'm an Explorer Scout! I was trained to navigate by the stars!"
Kim started smacking her palm with her wand, "Oh, I can help you see the stars alright!'
Jack grabbed her shoulders and stopped as she moved towards Eddie angrily.
"Woah, woah, come on guys," He mediated, "We have to focus. Their battle starts in a half-hour."
Meanwhile, Milton and Y/N stood with Rudy as they met at the summit prior to the battle.
"So, where is this big loyal army you've been bragging about?" Sidney asked
"Yeah, guys, where are they?" Sidney's wizard asked
Rudy stuck his arm out, "I've got this, your highnesses. Yeah, we may be outnumbered, but my king and our queen have the heart of a lion! And I have the speed of a--a-- you know those animals with the pointy ears and they're really fast?"
"A gazelle?" Sidney offered
"Yeah," Rudy agreed, "Wait, no, no, they're skinny and they don't really run so much as--as just bound! And they kind of go grrr! And, oh it's right on the tip of my tongue!"
"Squire!" Milton interjected, "Let's just go over the rules. One, the first team to capture the other's grail and place it on the pedestal of glory next to their own is the winner."
Sidney nodded, "Rule two, if you get struck on the chest you're out."
"Cheetah!" Rudy shouted, "Sorry, it's the animal I was thinking of earlier. It just popped into my head. Sorry, keep going."
Y/N stepped up, "Rule three, no cursing or foul language. Unless it's a medieval word like 'zounds'!"
The Dark Knights gasped, Rudy placed a hand on their shoulder.
"Y/N, you are better than that!" Rudy insisted
"Not today I'm not," They smirked
The three went to their base to prepare for battle. They watched the Dark Knights parry with their swords.
"Oh, this will not end well for us," Y/N mumbled,"Milton, I fear our defeat is imminent."
Milton looked at Y/N with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"Rudy, this looks bad," Milton spoke, "They'll be coming for our grail soon and I think you should know, I probably won't be going home with you."
Rudy's eyes hardened, "No, don't you talk like that. You're so young! You've got your whole life ahead of you."
"No!" Milton clarified, "I won't be going home with you because my mom is picking me up here to take me to the orthodontist."
Rudy nodded, "Look, whatever happens down there, It's been an honor to serve under you."
Rudy saluted vigorously. Y/N smiled.
"Rudy, can I get a ride back to the dojo after this?" Y/N asked
He nodded.
"Rudy, I've been thinking," Milton said, "If you're the only one who stood by us."
Milton looked to Y/N for permission, they nodded willingly. Milton unsheathed his sword.
"I hereby dub thee, Sir Rudy, our faithful knight!"
"I can't believe this!" Rudy cheered, "It's all happening so fast! Pretty good for a kid from the wrong side of the tracks with nothing but a pocketful of dreams! Not gonna cry... not gonna cry."
"Get it together!" Y/N snapped
The fanfare blew as they said that.
"We're going into battle," Milton announced
Y/N drew their rubber sword, Milton handed Rudy his then pulled a backup.
"Men, I can think of no greater warriors to fight with." Y/N complimented, "May our souls be lain in glory."
The Dark Knight collectively yelled, "Charge!"
Then, Milton, Rudy, and Y/N were back to back. A triangle of threat to anyone who dared go for their grail.
All the while, Jack, Jerry, Eddie, and Kim were still running from the bees that they'd agitated.
"I think we finally lost the bees," Jack panted, "Where's Kim and Eddie?"
Jerry huffed and puffed for a second, "Oh, Kim got her hair tangled up in a thorn bush. Eddie's trying to get her out."
Eddie ran into the clearing, "It took a while, but I finally got Kim's head out of that bush! Luckily I had my official Explorer Scout pocket knife."
Kim walked in, her hair spiked up where Eddie had had to cut it. The three boys gasped. Kim smiled at them.
"Guys, the battlefield is just over there," She pointed out, "Come on!"
She ran off toward the battlefield, leaving Jack, Jerry, and Eddie behind.
Jack turned, "Eddie, even if you make it out of this battle alive, Kim's gonna kill you."
Then Jack took off in a run toward the battlefield. Jerry stepped toward Eddie.
"Wait, that was Kim?" Jerry asked
In the heat of the battle, Milton, Rudy, and Y/N fought valiantly. Swords clashing with fervor as they guarded what was rightfully theirs.
"I don't thinkI have much left," Rudy commented, "My tights are riding up, I got sunblock in my eye, and if I don't get a potty break soon something really bad's gonna happen."
"Rudy, focus!" Y/N insisted as their sword clashed with Sidney's
"Something better not happen!" Milton replied, "Those pantaloons are rented! Battle on! We must protect the grail at all costs!"
"Aye, your majesty!" Y/N shouted as their sword locked with the wizards this time
Sidney knocked Milton's sword from his hand, "It's over Miltonious! Prepare to taste my foam!"
Before Y/N could move to protect Milton, a foam axe flew through the air and hit Sidney. Knocking the sword from his hand. All eyes shot to the perpetrator.
"Ow! Who threw that!" Sidney whined
Jack.
Y/N's face broke into a huge smile as the four sprinted across the battlefield screaming to join them.
Y/N heard Sidney say, "His arm is made of ogres!"
Y/N took a swing with their swords, "That is a princess and her loyal knights, you Scobberlotcher!"
Sidney and his knights gasped at the words Y/N had used. Sidney swept up his sword from the ground.
"Retreat! Retreat!" He squeaked out
The four joined Milton, Rudy, and Y/N at their pedestal of glory. Y/N smiled and gave Jerry a tight hug.
"You guys made it!" Milton smiled
"I hoped you would show up," Y/N revealed
Jack panted, "This may not be our thing, but if it means something to you guys, then we're with you, King Miltonious and Queen Y/N/N!"
Milton's smile widened, "Thanks! Who's the dude with the punked out mullet?"
Y/N's eyes scanned and landed on Kim and her janky hairdo. A gasped escaped them as their hand flew to their mouth in shock. Kim looked just as confused.
"All right guys, hands in," Jack was quick to switch subjects, "We've got us a grail to capture."
Everyone piled their hands in, "Wasabi!"
"Charge!" Milton shouted
The group took off in a run toward the Dark Knights, a battle cry loud in their throats. Jerry immediately took down one guy, Eddie psyched out three on accident and they were taken out, and Kim got two.
Rudy stayed a guarded the grail with Y/N on the foreground trying to prevent anyone from getting that close. Jack was taking care of five of them at once. While Y/N had another three. One knocked their sword from their hand. Y/N surely thought they were done for. But, Jack came in from the back, kicked them their sword and fought back to back with them.
When he was done with his enemies Jack celebrated, doing a stupid little running man.
"Yeah!" He hollered, " Don't mess with the Jack!"
Y/N chuckled as they watched him fall into a bush.
Across the battlefield, Milton was locked in battle with Sidney. When his sword was knocked from his hand. He used the swing set to kick Sidney away, then used the flag to pole vault over the knights. Milton got his hand of their grail and grabbed a loose sword. He charged back toward their base and slipped through the knights as they charged. He tripped on his way down, turning the knights attention to him.
Y/N watched Milton set the grail on the teeter-totter. Immediately, they nudged Jack.
"Give me a boost, huh?" They asked
Jack looked and understood what they meant. He cupped his hands as Y/N backed up to get a running start. Y/N ran and ket Jack cup their foot, giving them lift as they launched across the battlefield.
Y/N landed harshly on the upside of the teeter-totter, punting the grail to their side of the field. Milton stood and ran after it as the Dark Knights watched in awe.
Milton ran as fast he could as the battle stopped around him. He dove and caught the grail, slamming it down onto their pedestal.
"Victory!" Milton shouted
Y/N cheered, "Yes!"
Jack ran to Y/N, picking them up in a hug. When he set them down, they looked into an each other's eyes for a moment. It was like the world was quiet and nothing else mattered. Until Jerry joined their hug.
"Whoo!" Jerry shouted, "We did it!"
"Oh! Come on!" Sidney complained
As the Dark Knights dispersed, Jack, Jerry, and Y/N joined their friends by the pedestal.
"Way to go, Milton!" Jack praised, "You did it!"
"No, Jack! We did it!" Milton insisted!
Kim smiled, "Here you go, Milton. Here's your grail, you've earned-"
She screamed as she saw her hair in the reflection of the grail. Kim looked ready to cry.
"My hair,"She squeaked,"What happened to my hair? Eddie?"
Eddie laughed nervously.
"You are so dead!" Kim promised
Eddie screamed as he took off sprinting, Kim hot on his tail. Y/N laughed, leaning into Jack's shoulder.
"Oh, she's going to kick his butt," Y/N chuckled
Later that day, after Milton's orthodontist appointment, the group went to the dojo. Where Y/N was already steaming and mending their costumes. None of them hadn't seen them yet.
"Thanks a lot guys," Milton complimented, "I know you were embarrassed by those costumes. But don't worry, you'll never have to wear them again."
Y/N frowned, they had worked hard on those.
"And no one at school will ever have to know!" Milton insisted
Jack caught sight of Y/N, "You're right, Milton. They don't, but they will."
The following Monday, Jack, Jerry, Eddie, and Kim all wore their newly mended costumes with no fight. Partly to make Y/N feel better about thinking they were embarrassed to wear them. And partly, to just support their friends.
They got laughed at, and Jack officially lost any hot dates he'd been working towards. But, at the very least, he thought it was worth it to make Y/N and Milton happy.
Another video, yay! This one isn't mbav related, but I just wanted to share here because this show was another one of my favorites as I kid and I'm just obsessed with these two together (as much as I am with Bennory lol).
