Part 2 here: Big Nate and the Big Event: Part 2

Chapter 1

So, after school, while Chad and Dee Dee had their detentions, Teddy, Francis, Coco and I were selling copies of our comic, and it has also become a big hit! We've sold nearly as many copies of our comic as those two Jefferson jerks sold theirs, all over the neighborhood.

However, on the day before Halloween and the Klassik Komix contest deadline, there's still one thing we need to deal with, the costumes. The 4 of us discuss in the Cafetorium.

"So, we all need money to buy 4 superhero costumes and modify them," I said. "Let's see what we have."

We all put the money we have on the table, and I started counting them. "5 dollars and 10 cents...and a container of mints, ooh, don't mind if I do! But seriously, that's it?!?"

"My allowance is not really big," replied Teddy.

"My parents never give me any money," said Coco.

"Now what do we do?" Francis asked.

"OOH!!! GUYS!" Dee Dee chimed in. "Come to my house after my detention! I have a special surprise for you all."

We all agreed with the invitation, and later at 4pm, met Dee Dee outside the school building. We all walked to her house, where her mom opens the door.

"Hey kids!" greeted Mrs. Holloway. "Come on in! And take off your shoes, we're trying to keep our rugged floors clean."

We did what Dee Dee's mom said, then followed Dee Dee to her room.

"So where's the surprise?" I asked Dee Dee.

"In my room," she responded, "which we're entering right now! See that closet over there? Open it and see for yourselves!"

We opened the closet, and I couldn't believe it! Before our eyes were 4 store-bought superhero costumes, modified to look like superheroes in the comic.

I was stunned. "No. Freaking. Way!"

"Oh my God!" Francis gasped.

Teddy was like, "Whaaaaaat???"

"Sweet!" Coco squealed.

"DEE DEE!!!" I shouted. "How did you buy and modify all these?!"

"I was saving the money I won in a Summer talent show last August for emergencies like this," Dee Dee answered.

I could kiss Dee Dee, not literally of course. "That's awesome! Thank you!"

"No problem! So why don't you all you start your costume rehearsals now so you'll be ready for the big day?"

"Deal!" Francis, Teddy, Coco, and I said in unison.

We all spent some time rehearsing our costumes and character lines at Dee Dee's house before we all had to go back to our respective houses for dinner. Tomorrow would be the day of the big event, Halloween!

Chapter 2

On Halloween night, I was dressed up as Strong Steve; Teddy was dressed up as Fast Frank; Francis, with a long brown wavy wig, was dressed up as Clear-Eyed Claire (he's been used to wearing a female costume since he wore a Nurse costume last year); and Coco was dressed as Vile Virginia (odd that she would choose to be the villain, but never mind).

We combined our usual trick-or-treating with selling more copies of our comic. We gave each available neighbor a copy of our comic, then they paid us and gave us candy. Seemed like extortion, but it would make sense if you knew our plan.

After we finished our trick-or-treating/comic-selling, it was time to head over to Klassik Komix, which was opened until midnight for the contest. I was hoping Nolan and Zach didn't submit our comic before we would. Turns out they were there, but haven't gotten into the store yet. Interesting...

"Hey, Nate," Coco told me. "Do you mind if I hold on to the comic and run into the store? I can run fast enough to get in and submit the comic before those guys can."

"HEY!" Teddy exclaimed. "I thought I was the fast one!"

"OK, I don't see why not," I said as I pass the comic to Coco.

"Cool. Thanks!" Coco ran off but switched direction towards Nolan and Zach. Wait, what the heck??

Teddy, Francis, and I overhear Nolan talking to Coco, "Got the comic, Connie?"

"Yep."

"Excellent! You know what to do next."

"Indeed."

"Our plan is about to go well," Zach grinned evilly.

"Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!!" I shouted, having rushed over to the discussion, with Teddy and Francis catching up. "What in the name of Lincoln is the deal here? Why are you working with the enemy, Coco!?"

"My name's not Coco, doofus!" she snapped back. "It's Connie Cooper! I'm actually an American of Mexican descent, and part of the Jefferson league."

Even the usually smart Francis is confused, "But you're our friend and you go to our school P.S. 38! How's that possible!?!"

"And you gave Nolan a wedgie when he was tormenting us!" Teddy pointed out.

Connie explained, "See I was actually a Jefferson student before last Summer before I was transferred to P.S. 38. To keep my cover, I asked everyone to call me Coco. And I'm one of Nolan's best friends besides Zach, and that wedgie I gave Nolan? We were all just acting, and I've given him wedgies before, so he's used to it."

"Yeah," Nolan interrupted, "after all those times I friendly teased you about-"

"SHUT UP!!" She shrieked. "There's a difference between friendly and sexist, and you know it!"

Now I know the reason for her Vile Virginia costume. "What are you gonna do with our comic, Coco- I mean, Connie?" I enquired. "The one that we worked on?!"

"Easy! I'll erase all 3 of your names and signatures, leaving behind my own, and submit the comic as my own while Nolan and Zach submit theirs. Normally, two entries from the same school would lead to disqualification, but I bet Wayne would enjoy those comics so much that he would let both of them in and we would win the contest. Then when Klassik Komix earns lots of money from those copies, they would donate a good percent to Jefferson to upgrade into practically a palace, letting us gain more attention than your poor little school. P.S. 38 sucks! Jefferson rules!"

"You're a freakin' traitor, you know that?" I snarled.

"You can't do this!" Francis shouted.

"Oh yeah? Watch me!" Coco pulls out an eraser and points it at our names, laughing maniacally.

"NOOO!!!!" Teddy, Francis, and I screamed together. If we didn't stop her soon, we would be screwed...

Chapter 3

Just then, an announcement came from the PA system, catching everyone's attention, "Attention, wonderful people of Rackleff Mall! There has been a report on someone cheating in the Klassik Komix contest. The offender has admitted what she has done without knowing that someone has audio-recorded it to report the crime, which shall now be played for the whole mall to hear."

I recognized the announcer's voice, it's Dee Dee! She must've been the one who audio-recorded the confrontation as is now playing it as we speak, everything from when "Coco" introduced herself as Connie Cooper to her small chant of "P.S. 38 sucks! Jefferson rules!"

Soon, Wayne walked out of the store and swiped both comics from the Jefferson trio. While mumbling unclearly, he inspected both comics and passed the one Teddy, Francis, "Coco" and I made to us. Then he took Nolan, Zach, and Connie into the store for a few-minute talk.

I thought I would use the time to look for the intercom Dee Dee hijacked, but wouldn't you know it, she already showed up!

"Hi guys!" Dee Dee greeted me, Teddy, and Francis.

"Dee Dee!" I exclaimed. "Were you the one make that intercom announcement?"

"Yep, that's me! With approval from a mall cop."

"Now that's incredible! I tried hijacking the intercom before and got busted. My dad grounded me for a week for that. A cruddy week!"

"All because he wanted to sell his comics!" Teddy interrupted.

"Sit down, scrub," I hissed at him. "I wanted to beat Artur at that Timer Scouts competition, and I eventually won."

"Anyway," Dee Dee started to explain, "though you all didn't notice me, I tagged along so I could see you submit that comic. Then when I witnessed that interesting confrontation, I audio-recorded it all on my phone. With that played into the intercom, that backstabbing BEE is sure gonna get her comeuppance!"

"Here they come now," said Francis, pointing to Nolan, Zach, and Connie walking towards the group with distraught looks on faces.

"So, what did the Big Kahuna say?" I asked smugly.

Coco said her answer, "Wayne disqualified us from the contest for submitting more than one comic per school and using someone else's comic as our own. AND IT'S ALL YOU JERKS' FAULT!!! Doesn't matter though, because Nolan, Zach, and I won't give up! We'll make sure you cowards pay the price, or my name isn't-"

"CONNIE COOPER!!!!!!"

That yell came from Principal Nichols! He was doing his late-night mall power-walk when the announcement came, and it took a few minutes for him to find Connie and the rest of the group.

Connie turned around to see the principal and stuttered, "Oh, uh, hi, Principal Nichols! Don't you mean Coco?"

"Nope," Principal Nichols glared at Connie. "You never told me you were a former Jefferson student posing as a P.S. 38 student. This kind of dishonesty, you think you can do just because you're from our rival school, is intolerable. I'm afraid I'll have to expel you from P.S. 38 and transfer you back to Jefferson."

"NO!!! You can't-"

"Don't you argue with me, young lady!" The principal writes a special slip for her. "Here's a school restraining order. You are hereby banned from entering P.S. 38 school grounds and should stay 10 feet away from any P.S. 38 student and teacher and not talk to them unless spoken to."

"He's gone Queen of England mode," Teddy whispers to me.

"Shh," I shushed him. "This is so awesome!"

Principal Nichols writes two more restraining slips for Nolan and Zach. "These go for you boys too, for being Connie's accomplices. Same rules!"

"WHAT?!?!" The two Jefferson guys yelled in dismay.

"If I catch any of you three messing with my students ever again, I will report you to your school's principal who will give you a suitable punishment. Connie, you may come back to our school tomorrow, but only to pack your stuff to Jefferson. Now get out of my sight."

Chapter 4

"Way to screw things up, Cuckoo," Nolan muttered to Connie.

Connie was furious about that insult. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?"

"You heard me, I called y- YEOOOWWWW!!!!!" Connie gave Nolan another wedgie, and that time she meant it.

"Why you little-" Nolan snarled as he pantsed her in retaliation, revealing her "Me So Sassy" underwear.

She shrieked and kneed Nolan in the oompa-loompas.

"Uh, you two might want to chill out," said Zach, wanting to break up the fight.

"DON'T YOU FREAKIN' TELL ME TO CHILL OUT!!!" screamed Connie, pulling her pants back up.

"I want my mommy," Nolan groaned weakly.

Around then, a mall cop walked in, it was School Picture Guy! "WHOA! What's all this??"

"Get those three kids out of the mall, please," ordered Principal Nichols.

"With pleasure, amigo," said SPG.

While the screaming Connie, the suffering Nolan, and the "I told you so"-attituded Zach were escorted out, Dee Dee looked at the time on her phone.

"Holy drama cow!" Dee Dee yelped. "It's 11:55pm! You boys gotta submit right now before the store and the deadline closes in 5 minutes."

"Thanks again, Dee Dee!" I thanked her, and Teddy, Francis, and I start to walk in.

"OK then, you kids have fun," said Principal Nichols. "I gotta go before the mall closes until tomorrow morning, and you all probably should too. I'm sure you have a curfew!"

I erased Connie's "Coco" name and signature in the comic, and we submitted it to Wayne just as he was starting to packing up. Though my friends didn't understand Wayne's unclear mumbling, it was clear to me that he will read the comic and announce whether or not they win tomorrow morning.

This is so AWESOME! Not only has our comic been submitted to the contest right before it ended with the chance of us winning, but it's been made certain that those Jefferson kids will never torment us again! However, we would have to wait until the afternoon to find out about our possible victory....

Chapter 5

On our way to our school in the morning, Teddy, Francis, and I made a quick stop outside Jefferson.

"Have a nice day without ever bullying us again, losers!" I said, and we all made funny faces at Nolan, Zach, and Connie, who were all seething in anger knowing that they couldn't do anything about it without getting into more trouble then they already were.

Then after school, Teddy, Francis, and I went to Klassik Komix, and it was unbelievable! A huge crowd of people were in the store, all buying copies of our comic, freshly printed by Wayne earlier today. We could see it clearly, we have won!!

Wayne waved to us and mumbled.

"What was that?" asked Teddy.

"Wayne says 'You're welcome'," I responded. "Let's go tell Gordie! He would flip in flippin' joy when he finds out that Klassik Komix has the 10 thousand bucks needed to hire him again."

A week later, Teddy, Francis, Dee Dee, and I were visiting Klassik Komix, where Gordie has his job back and the store is packed with customers wanting to buy our comic and other similar comics.

"Thank you so much, boys," said Gordie. "Not only am I back on board, but this is the most popular this store has ever been its whole time here! I don't think there will be any problems here anytime soon."

"Don't forget Dee Dee," I told him. "She helped foil the evil empire's devious plans."

"Oh, just saving the day, that's all," Dee Dee said in her dramatic swoon.

"So were we," I said. "If anyone out there needs help, you know who to call..."

Teddy and Francis join me in saying the name of our terrific team, "THE TRICKY TRIO!!!"

THE END!
