The Backstreet Boys were horrified, the creepy makeup-artist was the archenemy of The Griff Gals they keep hearing about. Faith explained to them that Henley's parents, "Braelynn" and "Kristopher" were popular hair care salespeople in the 1950s England. When The Harrods refused to let them sell their products there, because of a rare chemical that would make people's hair too thick. they went haywire.
"We saw the dancers wearing outfits that aren't them" explained Howie D, "In other words, they were being someone else."
"This is just like our last mission in England" Jessie recalled, "Millionhairs thought that she could get Hart Insurance Company to cover for her company's mishap by making Mr. Hart into a boring and dull businessman."
"We better get there before Orlando turns into Orlandull." Faith suggested as our heroes hopped onto the bikes and rode off.
Back at Studio 25, Cristian was going over what to say for LADUWS when The Penguins and Beatbox came in with urgent news on Millionhairs escape. "Looks like the bobbies haven't learned to fall for Free Spa Day tricks" growled Cristian.
This was awful, Millionhairs has escaped from jail thanks to Mad Mod. Now they need to stop her before it's too late.
On the road, The Backstreet Boys, Zanell, The Griff Gals, Selah, and Kehlani were rushing back to the studio to stop the old arch-enemy. "Has Millionhairs ever caused any trouble back in England?" B-Rok asked Faith
"Mostly Millionhairs and her hairy goons" answered Faith.
"Though we faced other villains" replied Selah as she was flying, "Like Silver Survey, Woker Roll, and The Ivory Tulip."
Now, The Backstreet Boys were arriving at the same time Henley Grant a. k. a Millionhairs was using her Someone Else Hairspray. It was a special hairspray that would make them good citizens act the opposite of who they are. "Now with my Someone Else Hairspray," smiled Millionhairs, "Everyone in America will buy our hair products."
"Or get a cutting job!" shouted Howie D from behind.
Millionhairs was surprised because The Backstreet Boys were right behind them. She hated their music, but her henchmen don't, "We want their autograph." shouted a henchman.
"And I want a lock of Nick's hair" shouted another.
As they reached up to them, The Backstreet Boys disappeared, meaning that this was one of Illusioner's Illusioner.
On an icy road, Diamondnix sent them up, "Now this is a Rooftop Battle!" she exclaimed.
One by one, our heroes fought off the hair-care criminals, Griffin Girl and B-Rok took down Millionhairs. Using her prehensile hair, she reflected off the energy balls. Though they were unaware, the energy ball got into the hair spray bottle, it exploded and it changed everyone back to their regular selves. Millionhairs was foiled by her plans.
As she and her goons tried to escape, The Penguins trapped them with Operation: Hamperdump, which is where they ambush the baddies with dirty laundry. After Millionhairs got out, Cristian cuffed them and said, "You would not believe how old the gas masks my nephew, his new best friend and I had on were."
"So what" Millionhairs growled, "I wanted revenge on those Griff Gals for throwing me in jail and for making my traitorous sidekick a posthumous release of his cosmetic brands, which is better than Mommy and Daddy's."
"Your as greedy as your parents." Diamondnix replied, "By the way, my mother never liked your hair care products."
After Cristian and The Penguins took Millionhairs and her goons away, The Cyber Crusaders and The Griff Gals changed back to their regular selves and decided to check on the contestants.
In their dressing rooms, everyone was back to their old selves. Lucille was going around the girly makeup, Elliana was admiring herself in the mirror, Kamila was brushing her pink hair and placing on her beanie, Messiah was singing in the mirror, Matteo was meditating, E-Wave was admiring his tattooed arms, Jax and Millie were practicing their lifts, Gabrielle and Jorge were adjusting their shoes, Kaia and Kaden were playing patty cake, Paislee and Remington were doing their photoshoots, Amira and Josue were admiring each other's hair, and Madilyn and Emilio were tuning their instruments. This only meant one thing, everyone is back to normal.
Nadine figured out how they got back to their regular selves, "When Top Speed accidentally got that energy ball into that hairspray can and caused its explosion" she figured, "Some of the hairspray must've got into the air dunce and changed everyone inside back to their normal thanks. Thanks to a little Backstreet Love."
"That's right," Jalen said as he came in with his new best friend, Vincenzo, "Vincenzo and I have been studying up on The Boys' DNA. It turns out, they've been having the love ever since they bonded in the early 90s."
With one look, the five heartthrobs smiled.
Nadine was glad too because Jalen got to explain it for himself.
For the next two days, everyone was prepping up and working on the final dress rehearsals for the first-ever broadcast.
When Friday came, Zarina was going over the musical guests with Big G, "For the musical guests" Zarina explained, "We got Chip Skylark, Teensicle, Kimberly Kelly, Harmony Heaven, Beyonce, The Muppets, Michael Jackson, Opera singer Freya Lundin, dancing sensation Malachi Fortune, and Vivian Sweet."
"Before we could let those wannabes in" replied Big G, "We got Future Notes to perform. Spending money on guests can be crazy."
"Speaking of guests" Zarina replied back, "Pleasant Beach has Survivor Contestant Elisabeth Filarski, Up The Cakes is going to have Henry Winkler and Myla's Music Class has Chip Skylark. Also, I promised Adriel and Holden that they get to meet him after Myla's Music Class."
Backstage on LADUWS, Sunmona, Moonlena, and Starsanna were tuning up their voices and wearing cheerleading apparel. By the studio door, Lewis Hightower II was arriving. Everyone was surprised and horrified by his entrance "Uh oh" murmured B-Rok "Big G didn't tell us that Mr. Hightower was going to be here."
"Listen here," Mr. Hightower growled, "You Dancing Fruits may have stolen my act, but I'll be watching you like a hawk."
10 minutes later, the girls were decked out in their dance apparel while The Backstreet Boys wore lifeguard apparel, much to Mr. Hightower's dismay, "This week theme is Beach Week" explained A. J, "And there aren't any eliminations."
"We're on in 10, 9, 8-" shouted Alexandria.
"Fine, fine" shouted Mr. Hightower, "Just get to the panels before I sue."
"-7, 6, 5-" shouted Alexandria.
As quick as they could, The Backstreet Boys rushed to the panels while the girls rushed backstage.
"-4, 3, 2-" shouted Alexandria.
With the blue lights on, Let's All Dance Until We're Sick was on the air.
Dancing, the earliest form of storytelling. From the waves of Hula in Hawaii to the tribal dancing of Native American villages. They'd even used dancing to cure the ill and the weak. This is Let's All Dance Until We're Sick, the newest dancing reality show competition. Broadcasted from Orlando Florida.
18 contestants will spend the next three months dancing in the moonlight. They'll compete against each other and be judged by the judges. Every few weeks, our judges will decide who will get sent down The Long and Winding Road. In the end, only one will with 10,000 dollars. To survive they'll battle and each other.
Who will Shimmy and Shake til the ankles breaks
Jump like a Pogo Stick and Dance Til We're Sick.
"Welcome to Let's All Dance Until We're Sick" shouted Cristian, "I'm your host, "Cristian Brand" you may remember me as one of the dancers from Wild Boogie Garden."
The show started with, then Future Notes performing their hit song, Angelwing Diner.
In the audience, Mr. Hightower glared at Big G, "Listen here Gianni" Mr. Hightower said quietly, "The first broadcast of, "My" new show must be good, or else you and your family will lose your jobs."
"Your father made me the new owner because I was more responsible than you and I had more experience in running a business." Big G explained quietly, "Plus all of my relatives were looking for work in the entertainment industries. Not wanting to let The Hippie Movement drive the Guidi's apart, I did what I had to do."
During the next hour, The Dancers danced till their sick.
Matteo did a modern/hula routine to the Hawaiian song He Mele No Lilo, E-Wave did a jazz routine Wet Side Story's Surf Crazy, Elliana did a tap routine to The Beach Boys' Surfin USA, Lucille did a Samba to Jimi Jamison's I'm Always Here, Paislee and Remington did a Jive to The Beach Boys' Good Vibrations, Amira and Josue did a Boogie-woogie to Solid Bold's Summertime Lovin, Gabrielle and Jorge did a Contemporary to Jodie Benson's Part of Your World, Kamila' did a Modern with The Backstreet Boys' Anywhere For You, Madilyn and Emilio did a Hip Hop to The Surfari's Wipeout, Kaia and Kaden did a Jazz dance to Katrina and The Waves' Walking on Sunshine, and Jax and Millie did a Contemporary to The Beatles' Octopus's Garden.
Finally, Messiah did a Latin Jazz dance to Chubby Checker's Limbo Rock. One by one, all the backup dancers came up and limbo with him. Both Vincenzo and Lewis held the limbo stick while others going as low as they can go.
Onstage, The Backstreet Boys were participating in Limbo. This was great for the audience and the crew, but awful for Lewis Hightower II and Big G.
After their performance, The Backstreet Boys returned to their panel seats, "Let's see what the judges have to say" Cristian shouted, "Boys?"
"With those dance moves on that limbo routine," said B-Rok "I give it 7.5."
"I must say," said Nick, "Picking Limbo Rock was the best way to show off a good luau. I give it an 8.5.
"The 50s summer clothes in a shade of blue," said A. J. "I call dibs on an 8.4."
"All of you taking turns on Limbo and getting us to perform with you," said Kevin, "And that makes it a 9.0
"And Messiah's opening number with a cross of Jazz/Broadway dancing," said Howie D, "And I give you an 8.8."
After the show wrapped up, Big G came up to them, and boy was he mad, "The rules state that judges can't compete!" Big G Growled.
"We know sir" Howie D replied, "But we just can't resist a little limbo."
As he was about to throw something, Zarina came in with great news, "The ratings are going up. Everyone outside the set is going bananas on Let's All Dance Until We're Sick."
"What?" Big G asked in surprise.
With one look from Zarina's papers, he could see that Let's All Dance Until We're Sick had 50 million hits, which is the highest ratings in Studio 25's history. He looked at The Backstreet Boys and smiled. He was happy because ever since they came here, they've been livening up the place.
In the audience, Mr. Hightower and Lewis were horrified by the show's success. Mr. Hightower and Lewis both plan to make The Backstreet Boys look like fools, no matter what.
Later at the after-party, everyone was celebrating the most successful show in Studio 25's history, more successful than Wild Boogie Garden. As Adriel and Holden were going up the dessert table, they met up with Chip Skylark. "Chippy" Holden asked, "Wanna meet my sistew"
"Sure" Chip answered, "She's Nadine right, the oceanography brainiac."
"That's wight" Holden answered back.
At the karaoke booth, Nadine was wrapping up Drowning with Kevin when they saw Holden and Adriel bringing in Chip. Howie D was amazed because he gets to meet the legendary Backstreet Boys. "You kind of remind me of my old college buddy, "Chris Kirkpatrick" Howie D said, "Your voice, your charm, and the way you were cool to the kids."
"Thanks, man" replied Chip, "Big G told me that Guillermo Iniguez is going to come around the same time I'm musical guest/guest judge."
"Guillermo Iniguez" asked Howie D, "The TV critic of Orlando."
"He was going to get Gene Shalit" Chip explained, "But then remembered that Guillermo has reviewed dance shows like Funk Train, and Star Search"
"We were on Star Search" recalled A. J.
"Then you better be careful" replied Chip, "Because his critiques are a little harsh."
Everyone was horrified because of this but decided to relax and enjoy the party. Jaden came up to Nadine and complimented her on how she sang Drowning with Kevin. Nadine blushed romantically. After Nadine looked at him again, Jaden kissed Nadine on the cheek, much to B-Rok and Kevin's delight.
As Jalen walked off to talk to Kamila and Emilio, Nadine stared at him passionately.
The End.
Happy 27th Anniversary Backstreet Boys.
