Flying in the skies above Walla Walla Washington. There were three people standing on top of a hovering robot known as Jailbot. It was Mark Davis aka The Warden from the infamous Superjail. Beside him were his faithful employees, Jared and Alice.


"Tell me again, Warden. Why are we going to Walla Walla Washington?" asks Jared. "Well, Jared. Even awesome Wardens like myself need a break every now and then!" The Warden explained breaking himself in half then putting himself back together.


"Okay, Jailbot! We're here. Drop us off!" demanded Alice. Jailbot safely landed The Warden, Jared, and Alice. "Who's going to watch Superjail while we're gone?" asks Jared. "You writing a book? You ought to call it Fifty Shades of Annoying!" The Warden insulted his employee.


"He's right. We're here. Now what?" asked Alice. Jailbot flies back to Superjail. "Fasten Your Seatbelts Everyone. It's Going To Be A Sporty Ride!" The Warden concedes.


Jared being confused asks, "What are you talking about?" "2 Weeks ago, the inmates of Superjail challanged us to a basketball game. So we will use this basketball court in this shitty part of town to up our skills and kick the inmates asses at basketball!" The Warden explains his plan.


"I get it. Like The Longest Yard only with basketball." Alice replies. "You catch on really quick there, Alice! This is why I like you better than Jared!" The Warden laughs.


"Very funny. All we need to do is find some people who actually come here to play and challange them." Jared said. "What will we do until then?" asked Alice.


"We wait." The Warden says clutching his hands. At Walla Walla High School. During lunch. Cornell, RG, and Reggie were all eating and looking around nervously.


"One day away." Reggie observes. "Don't remind us, dawg! We already know!" RG spat back. "We got detention, tommorow, man! Over something so insignificant!" Cornell protested.


"Yeah, we all chewed gum during that math test." RG recalled. "Apparently, we were being disruptive and making the students nervous for doing that!" talked Cornell, rolling his eyes. "This Zero Tolerance thing at our school is pure bullshit!" Reggie speaks out.


"Last week, Malik got detention for wearing a fucking hoodie!" Cornell tells his friends. "If only there was some way we can get out of it!" Reggie uttered.


"Hey, Dawgs! You thinking what I'm thinking......" RG presumed. "What would that be? I'm willing to do anything right now." Cornell sighs. "We skip!" RG voices his idea. "Perfect! We can fake an injury or something!" Cornell noted.


"Okay it's on. I know how to do a good impersonation of my father!" RG said. "Cool, I can do my Mother's voice dawg!" Reggie adds on. "How about you, Cornell? What will be your excuse?" asks RG.


"You guys already have your own plans. I'll pretend to be sick!" Cornell confirms. "So it's settled!" RG and Reggie high five each other.


RG exclaims. "My parents are on their second honeymoon." Reggie says, "Mine always always work from 6-2! So they always think I'm at school!"


"Yeah, I've been faking sick for years now. Barry and Debbie fall for it everytime!" Cornell chirped. "One thing, though. Where are we going to go if all our parents think we're at school?" asked RG.


"We'll use that basketball court in the seedy side of Walla Walla!" Reggie answers. "That's an awesome way to give detention the finger!" Cornell opined! "One thing, though." RG said. "What's that?" Cornell wanted to know. "Bring rollerblades." RG replied. "What's the reason for rollerblades?" asked Reggie.


"It's going to be Rollerblade Basketball!" RG announces. "I'm even more excited to skip this detention now more than ever!" Cornell cheered.

At the Jellies' house. Cornell was in his room. Pretending to vomit. Debbie and Barry come running in. "Oh NO! CORNELL! MY BABY! WHAT'S GOING ON!?" Debbie cries.


"He's probably worried about that detention him and his freinds are going to serve." Barry blurted out. Cornell talks in a weak voice, "I'm really sick! Did you hear me vomit?" Cornell then does some heaving that sounded very realistic.


KY walks in and see what the commotion was about. "Cornell is sick?" "Yeah, he is about to puke." Barry said. "Well, guess this means he'll have to stay home today." Debbie said. "I'll go call the school and tell them you won't be in." Barry says walking out of Cornell's bedroom to call the school.


"Do everything you can to get better." Debbie tells her adopted son. "I'll try!" Cornell said as he coughed. KY scoffs, "You guys never let me have a day off when I'm sick!" "Nonsense. We treat both equally! We give you days off when you have your periods!" Debbie reminded KY.


"HEY! Ix-nay on the period-nay. In front of my brother-nay!" snarks KY. Barry rans back into Cornell's bedroom. "Okay, I got you out of school. You don't have to go!" "Thank you, Dad!" Cornell says pretending to cough again.


"We're all going to work and school now. Stay here in bed. The more you rest the more you heal." Debbie advises Cornell. "I will. I know what it is. It's those migraines I always get." Cornell tells his adoptive Mom.


"Oh yes, the migraines you're prone to. Here is a bunch of Nyquill and liquid tylenol for them!" Barry said putting some medicines on Cornell's night stand.


"Do whatever you want in the house. But do not leave for any reason!" Debbie warns Cornell. "I won't. You can count on me." Cornell says.


Debbie, KY, and Barry leave for work and school. "Stay out of my diary!" KY called out. Waiting for his Jellyfish family to leave for work and school. Cornell lays there until they are completely away.


"YES! I knew they'd be dumb enough to believe it!! Works every time! And the Oscar goes to....me! Now to meet my friends for some basketball!" Cornell says to himself. Rummaging through his closet, Cornell gets out of pair of rollerblades.


"Best birthday present ever! The gift that keeps on giving!" Cornell says. Putting on his rollerblades, he managed to crawl out of the window only to crash land. "The Jelly has Landed! Detentions can go fuck themselves!" Cornell says. Picking himself up. Cornell glides down the street to the seedy part of Walla Walla on his rollerblades to meet up with RG and Reggie!

At the basketball court. RG and Reggie were on their rollerblades. Waiting for Cornell to arrive. "Damn dawg! What's taking Cornell so long?" Reggie demanded to know. "Maybe his parents took him to the doctors." RG imples.


"Hey dawgs over here!" Cornell calls out from the distance. "Cornell! You're joining us after all!" RG breathed a sigh of relief. "Nobody from school saw you did they?" Reggie asked out loud. "No way. Neither of them have a clue!" Cornell assures his friends.


"What're we waiting for! Let's play ball!" RG shouted. From behind a building, The Warden, Alice, and Jared were watching. "Once we show up they'll be in for....baby they'll be in for a big surprise!" laughs the Warden. "They're on rollerblades. We didn't take that into consideration!" Alice retorted.


"Hush hush Sweet Alice. Don't forget I'm magic." The Warden told Alice. "So when are we going to attack these guys. They don't seem too threatening." Jared wanted to know.


"Let them have their little fun for now. We'll come out of nowhere!" The Warden said in a schemeing sense. Cornell, RG, and Reggie were playing rollerblade basketball and having a fun time. "Wonder how everyone else in school is doing?" asked RG. "Whatever it is it's probably pitiful!" laughs Cornell.


Reggie says, "It's kind of hard to master basketball moves with rollerblades. But hey, it's still fun anyway." "We're like that roller skating cat from the Catillac Cats! What was his name?" asked RG. "I know, I think it was Wordsworth." Cornell answers.


Three minutes into the rollerblade basketball game. Cornell, RG, and Reggie were having a blast. That was until the Warden was going to intervene. "Okay that's our cue!" The Warden said morphing himself into the letter Q.


"We'll need rollerblades if we're going to take these guys on!" Alice reminded the Warden. "No problem!" The Warden said with a snap of his fingers, Alice, Jared, and the Warden himself all now had rollerblades. Jared was having a hard time balancing.


"Uhhh, Warden! Sir! You can change mine into regular skates?" Jared said but was ignored. "NOW we bully these assholes and go in for the kill!" The Warden said.


As Cornell, RG, and Reggie were knee deep in the rollerblade basketball game they were playing. Suddenly the trio of friends heard a battle cry style scream. The three of them turn to see The Warden, Alice, and Jared charging at them.


"Damn! Where the fuck did that screaming come from!" RG said startled. "Never mind that who the hell are they!" Cornell shrieked with fear.


"HEY! THIS IS OUR BASKETBALL COURT! GO BACK WHERE EVER YOU CAME FROM!" asserted Reggie. "No can do! I'm afraid I can't!" The Warden said taking their ball. "That's our ball!" Cornell yells at them. "This is like that movie we showed the inmates in Superjail! ATL!" Jared observes.


"Now surely you guys just can't play by youselves like this." the Warden tells Cornell, RG, and Reggie. The Warden continues, "The three of you not playing against another team? That'll make you all look pretty silly!"


"You want us to play against you! Bring It On!" Cornell challenged the Superjail Trio. "All right. Here is how it's going to go down. We're going to play a game called HORSE!" Alice told Cornell, RG, and Reggie.


Jared started in, "Better idea! Let's play Criss Cross Applesauce!" The Warden pushed Jared away, "HEY! Alice and I will decide how to challenge these teens, not you!" "OKAY!" Jared said in an annoyed manner.


The Warden throws the basketball into the air, "Like Jigsaw From The Saw Movie Franchise! Oh Yes! There Will Be Blood!"


The rollerblade basketball game with Cornell, RG, and Reggie vs The Warden, Alice, and Jared was already off to a rough start. Jared could barely keep up because he wasn't used to rollerblades. Jared and Alice were playing like pros pushing Cornell, RG, and Reggie away.


"This isn't playing fair!" Cornell yelled. "You're going to end up breaking our bones!" RG joined in yelling. Reggie shouts, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?"


The Warden makes a basket flying into the air. "H!" The Warden passes the basketball over to Alice. Jared tried to catch it, but failed. "SHIT! I wanna prove to the Warden I am worthy!" cries Jared.


With Jared on the ground after being bumped into. Cornell, RG, and Reggie tried really hard to block the Warden's path. Same with Alice, but The Warden and Alice were a force to be reckoned with. Suddenly, the basketball comes in Jared's direction and he throws it. Cornell gets the ball.


"OUT OF BOUNDS, JARED! ONE MORE FUCK UP AND YOU'RE OUT OF THE GAME!" The Warden yelled at his accountant friend. "YEAH! ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE US LOSE!?" Alice joins in on the berating.


Cornell was bouncing the ball. Gliding in his rollerblades with Alice and The Warden on his tail. "Try and top this you mother fucking bullies!" Cornell makes a basket! RG and Reggie cheer for their friend. "ALL RIGHT!" "GOOD JOB!" "DAMN CORNELL! YOU AWESOME!"


"I got the O!" Cornell said to the Warden.

Suddenly, a shrill whistle cuts through the air, piercing the cheerful shouts and the whizz of rollerblades. Everyone on the court freezes. From a small hut near the chain-link fence, a burly security guard steps out, his hand still on the whistle he just blew. He squints at the group, his gaze lingering on the strange man in the purple suit and the woman with the sharp teeth.


"Hey! You kids, and... you weirdos! This court's closed after 3 p.m.!" he barks, waving a meaty fist. "You're all trespassing! I'm callin' the cops!"


The Warden’s manic grin falters. "Cops? No, no, we can't have that!" He snaps his fingers, and the rollerblades on his, Jared’s, and Alice’s feet vanish. "Jailbot! To me! Now!" he screams, but it’s too late. The guard is already fumbling with his phone.


"Let's go, let's go!" Alice urges, shoving Jared forward. The three of them scramble over the fence and disappear into the alleyway behind the court.


Cornell, RG, and Reggie don't waste a second. "Run, dawg!" Reggie yells, and they all take off in different directions, their rollerblades clattering against the pavement.


Cornell, being the fastest, zips down a different street, weaving around trash cans and parked cars, adrenaline pumping through his veins. He skates for what feels like miles until he's completely out of breath. He ducks behind a laundromat, leaning against the brick wall, his chest heaving.


"Man, that was too close," he mutters to himself. He pulls out his cell phone, his fingers trembling as he scrolls through his contacts. He needs to talk to someone, anyone. He knows his parents are at work, and he can’t risk calling RG or Reggie in case they’re still on the run. The only person he can think of is his sister, KY. He punches her number.


"What do you want, Cornell?" KY’s voice snaps through the phone, sounding annoyed and distant.


"KY, listen! I'm in trouble. I just..."


"I don't have time for your drama," she interrupts. "I'm in the middle of a class project with my group, and you're interrupting my flow. I knew you'd get into trouble pretending to be sick. You always do." She hangs up before he can get another word in.



"Shit," Cornell groans, stuffing his phone back into his pocket. Just as he does, a shadow falls over him. He looks up to see The Warden, Alice, and Jared standing there, their faces twisted into strange, unsettling smiles. They must have followed him.


"Well, well, well," The Warden purrs, his voice low and threatening. "What do we have here? A high schooler all alone?"


"Leave me alone!" Cornell shouts, trying to skate past them, but Alice stood in front of Cornell. Preventing him to get away.


"Not so fast," she growls, her sharp teeth bared in a grin. "We're not finished with you. You're pretty good, kid. You've got some moves."


"Yeah, you do!" Jared adds, a hint of admiration in his voice. "We needed to find some decent players to practice against, and you guys are… well, you're not awful."


The Warden leans in close, his eyes glinting. "You see, a few weeks ago, the inmates at Superjail challenged us to a basketball game. The stakes are... well, let's just say a lot of pain will be inflicted if we lose. So we needed to get our skills up. We couldn't very well practice on our own, now could we?"


"You… you just wanted to use us?" Cornell stammers, feeling a mix of fear and betrayal.


"Exactly!" The Warden says, straightening his hat with a theatrical flourish. "We've been watching you guys. You have a scrappy sort of energy. We needed to beat you, to dominate you, to get into the right mindset to annihilate those scumbags back at Superjail.


Thanks for being our guinea pigs, kid. We're going to win because of you." He lets out a chilling laugh that echoes down the empty street.


The Warden morphed himself into an airplane and took Jared and Alice back to Superjail

As Cornell was skating away after his ordeal with The Warden, Alice, and Jared. Cornell now found himself lost. In the ghetto. Far far away from the seedy part of Walla Walla where the basketball court was.


"Ooooh! Shit! What kind of trouble will I get into now?" Cornell cried. Trying to locate his friends on an APP on his iPhone, he sees what he thinks are RG and Reggie. "Yes! My friends! Now we can skate home before our parents find out what he really did!


Skating up to the people he sees as RG and Reggie were really two crminials. A drug dealer and a pimp. Both were bald, muscular, full of tattooes and had missing teeth. "RG! REGGIE! Skipping school for avoid a detention. This was a huge mistake and....."


"Hey, kid! Who do you think you're talking to!" "We're not this RG and Reggie!"


Cornell screams when he sees the two criminals who were now in his face. "YOU SKIPPED SCHOOL?" "YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SERVE A DETENTION?" "WE'RE GOING TO CALL YOUR PARENTS FOR THIS!" "WHAT IS YOUR NAME AND PHONE NUMBER?"!


Screaming and skating away as fast as the rollerblades took him. Cornell just continued to skate down the street. "This has not been a very good day! First those motherfuckers from Superjail ruined our rollerblade basketball game. Now I ran into some psychoes! What's next!"


Bemoaning to himself. Trying to figure out where exactly he was. Cornell yelled out, "WHY DID WE HAVE TO DO THIS?!?! WHY DIDN'T WE JUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND SERVED OUR DETENTION?!"


A car honked from far away. It was headed in Cornell's direction. "Oh shit! Now what! I am never doing this again! Never Never!" The car stopped in front of Cornell. Then Cornell finds himself being grabbed and forced inside.


Looking around the car, he sees he is safe. RG and Reggie were in the car too. The person who saved him was Major Leonard Jenkins.


"Major Jenkins!? You saved me! Thank you so much!" Cornell told the Mayor who now felt more at ease.


"Yes I saw you and your friends RG and Reggie here get lost. So I came to pick them up. Then we spotted you." Mayor Jenkins explains. "Yeah, RG and I were trying to look for you and we didn't where we were. Or where you were dawg!" Reggie tells Cornell.


"I called Major Jenkins on my cellphone and he came for us." RG explains. "I had run ins with some lowlives. You guys got the better deal." Cornell said.


"I understand you all skipped school to have some fun yes?" Major Jenkins tells the 3 boys. "Yeah we did." confessed RG. "When I was young I wasn't exactly a model student myself. I skipped school to play sports with my friends too." Mayor Jenkins explains his story.


"Were you also trying to avoid a detention?" RG asks. "No, we tried to get out of final exams." Mayor Jenkins laughs. Cornell asks. "What sport did you play?" "It was baseball. We were playing, having a good time. Until a bunch of cops came and mistook us for criminals. They even took us in! Boy, did we get in trouble with our parents or what!" spoke Major Jenkins


As Mayor Jenkins was driivng he tells RG, Reggie, and Cornell something that came as a shock to them, "I hosted an assembly today at your school. Some Frisbee Atheletes known as the Flying Boomerangs came and entertained your school. And that detention you were going to serve is all forgotten about."


Cornell, RG, and Reggie sit and stared. Paralyzed with shock. "So, we didn't have to do any of this." Cornell says. "Everyone else had fun and we had a miserable time!" RG said. "You won't believe this. Those dudes from Superjail came and dominated our basketball game."


"You teens and your silly stories!" laughs Mayor Jenkins. When Mayor Jenkins drops off Cornell, RG, and Reggie to their houses. They all said their goodbyes until next time. Cornell climbs in through his bedroom window and goes to bed. Then Cornell hears the sounds of KY, Debbie, and Barry coming home.


Trembling in fear that Barry and Debbie had found out somehow. Cornell began to break out in a terror sweat. "OH GOD! I hope they didn't find out! Please don't let them find out!"


Barry and Debbie came into Cornell's room. They saw he was laying in bed. "Hey son! We're home!" Barry announces.


"Oh hey guys. I just slept the whole time. Trying to nurse this headache. And I succeeded. I kicked my migraine in it's sorry ass!" Cornell tells them. "Those migraines really knock the wind out of your sails." Debbie said. "Yeah, they do." Cornell says.


"So you feeling any better? If so join us for dinner!" Barry said. "We made you your favorite!" said Debbie.


Cornell had gotten away with what he did. Yet, he still felt concern for RG and Reggie. Wondering if their families found out what they did and was reprimanded for it. Cornell says to himself, "Damn! I pulled a Ferris Bueller!"


As the Jellies were eating their dinner. The Warden from Superjail breaks into the kitchen and confronts Cornell. Nobody noticed but Cornell. "Coward! At last I have found you!" The Warden yelled to Cornell who shoots Cornell in the arm with a pellet gun then disappears. Cornell yelped in pain.


Barry, KY, and Debbie were astounded. "Oh my god! Cornell are you okay!" Barry screamed. "Quick! KY! Call an ambulance! This could mean stitches!" cries Debbie. "We don't want this to leave a scar." KY tells her parents. Barry and Debbie observed Cornell's wound. "There's no time for an ambulance! We need to take him to the ER right now!" Barry ordered his family.


"You guys, I'm okay. It's just a scratch and..."Cornell tried to reason with his Dad. "Oh no! He's delirious! He's talking nonsense! Quick! Everyone into the car!" Cornell was now being dragged to the hospital.

Epilogue: A week later.



As it turned out. Cornell's wound from the Warden's pellet gun was deeper than it looked. Cornell was in bed for a week and was out of school because of it.


"Damn, this wound of mine should be better by now!" Cornell flustered. "I actually miss school! I wonder if RG and Reggie got away with what we did? I still don't know." KY walks into his room. "Guess what?" she says her adoptive brother.


"What is it, KY? More homework?" Cornell snarked. "No, silly! Mom and Dad went to work. Which means..... Now I'm going to skip school and play with my friends!" KY chirps.


"Why would you want to do that?" asked Cornell. "When you did it last week. I had to admit. I was jealous. That you were having fun while I was stuck in school. So you are a great inspiration to me little brother!" KY laughs.


"Shit! Wish I can join you. If it weren't for this fucking wound!" Cornell said. KY says, "Just be lucky I didn't tell Mom and Dad or they would've found out what you did one way or another! Well, au revior! I'm off to play some putt putt golf with my friends! In the meantime, I suggest you finish your make up homework. It's not going to finish itself!"


KY walks out of Cornell's bedroom and goes off for a skip day of fun with her friends. Cornell just did his homework and let out a riled up groan.
