Genius-idea time!
You guys do a giant pink cupcake experiment,
then I… test it.
Go away, Johnny.
We're reading!
Oh, please don't tell me another Wizard Lad book came out.
No, but they just released the first chapter of Wizard Lad Six,
The Dragon Sword of Fire, online.
And the chapter ends the night before Dumbledumb's school for Wizards'
famous Dumble-Dance!
And Wizard Lad was just about to ask Fiore,
the Wizard Girl of Fire, to go with him!
You are not my dog.
And we are dying to know if she says yes,
but the rest of the book is not coming out till next month!
Aw… Not really.
But now that you're done with Wizard Lad,
you can focus on my giant pink cupcake experiment
that also… flies.
Close.
Oh, look at that!
A Johnny "Do any experiment you want" coupon that I gave you
'cause I said I would do any experiment you want.
We've downloaded the new Wizard Lad chapter
into the VR spheres with an AI simulation
based on past Wizard Lad and Fiore character choices.
So just go to Wizard Land, ask Fiore to the Dumble-Dance,
then come back and tell us what happens next!
You want me to go back into a book where I almost died
and ask a girl on a date?
Fiore is the coolest, Johnny! You're gonna love her!
-No, wait. I don't like icky gooey…
-…lovey stuff.
Too late. And check it!
I'm Fofo the Dragon again.
Let's just find fire-girl, ask her to the dance, mini vomit, and leave.
Stop. Fiore's not going to say yes with that attitude.
You need a cool entrance to woo her.
Yeah, Johnny don't woo.
But remember, you're not Johnny here, you're Wizard Lad.
Oh, right.
-Whoo-hoo! -Wizard Lad! Yay!
A cool and tasty entrance. Nice.
Look, there's Fiore.
But she's not impressed…
Well, I am. Mm…
'Cause it's so good.
Wizard Lad, what are you doing flying around on a giant cupcake?
I have to ask… Fiore to the Dumble-Dance.
Fiore? To the Dumble-Dance?
Why would you want to do that?
Uh, well, she's cool, she has fire powers,
and her eyes are like…
Well, I've seen her talking many times to the evil Moldywart…
Wizard Lad! Look! Still no wart!
…who you made not evil,
but I don't see what's so great about her!
Wizard Lad, did I overhear that you wanted to ask me something?
Yeah.
OK, so… Bleurgh! Will you go with me,
Wizard Lad, not Johnny, to the Dumble-Dance date-thing?
I… will.
Great! Later, everybody.
If you prove you're a brave and worthy companion
by getting me the Dragon Sword of Fire!
OK, didn't like the sound of that,
and what's the Dragon Sword of Fire?
It's the most powerful and magical sword in existence,
and legend says it's hidden in the Never-Go-Into Forest.
Yeah, I'm gonna need a minute.
-What's he doing?
Hey! You didn't say anything about me getting a Dragon Sword of Fire.
So that's who wants the sword.
And she won't go to the dance with Wizard Lad without it.
She must need it to stop a great evil that threatens the dance.
Johnny, you have to go back and get her that sword,
or the whole wizard world could be destroyed!
No. The deal was I ask her to a dance,
not risk my life for a sword, and--
Is that another coupon?
"Good for any experiment, including risking my life."
-OK, fine! Send me back in.
I'll get the Dragon Sword of Fire.
Splendid! I'll get ready for the dance…
and wait for you outside the forest.
Cool! I mean, hot?
I mean, does anyone else know how to get to this forest?
I do, since I'm the founding and only member
of the Magic Map Club.
Thanks, Sally.
I hope you find the Dragon Sword, Wizard Lad,
and I hope you have a great time at the Dumble-Dance!
What's with her? I said thanks.
Johnny, I think Sally wants to go to the Dumble-Dance
with Wizard Lad.
OMG. You're right, Fofo, and you know what else?
I don't care!
But look!
The Dragon Sword.
Wow, that was easy.
Not easy!
Who dares take the sword
I have protected for 2,000 years?
Johnny Test!
I mean, Wizard Lad, and I need it for a date.
I have stopped countless wizards far bigger than you
who tried to take it from me, and…
What's that smell?
It smells sweet.
Oh, that's my pink flying cupcake.
Is it any good?
'Cause I am so sick of eating wizards.
It's so good!
I usually don't like wizard-eating serpents,
but she was really nice.
Whoo-hoo!
Wizard Lad, you got it!
Eh, it was a piece of cake.
Actually, it was an entire cupcake.
Now, will you go to the Dumble-Dance with "Wizard Lad"
so I can tell my sisters they fell in love?
Oh, Wizard Lad, my answer is…
this!
I'm sorry, dragon confused here.
I am the secret daughter of Moldywart,
and since you made him nice,
it's now my duty to carry on the evil family tradition.
And with the Dragon Sword of Fire,
I'm going to destroy the famous Wizard Lad.
So that's a "no" on the dance?
Wait. Where'd he go?
-I can't believe Fiore is evil. -Killer plot twist.
Yeah, well, that was a big "no" on the dance, so let me down.
Johnny, you have to stop her.
With that sword, she could destroy all of Dumbledumb and Wizard Land.
There is no way I'm going back there, and--
Darn it! How many coupons did I give you?
Oh, good. You're back!
The Dragon Sword is more powerful than my wand!
Well, duh!
But what about two wands?
Sally, your wand. It's destroyed!
Don't you know by now
there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you, Wizard Lad?
Cool?
Don't you mean… hot?!
No, I mean Fofo!
-We have to get back to the school. -Why?
'Cause no matter how powerful any kid gets,
there's still one force even stronger.
-What's that? -Their parents.
-Welcome to the Dumble-Dance,
where the only magic is the slow dance.
Wizard Lad! Where's Fiore?
I thought she was going with you.
Yeah, slight change of plans.
Because Wizard Lad and the Dumble-Dance
are about to be canceled.
Now shout, or use your dad powers to take away her phone,
or that sword!
Uh-uh-uh. I don't advise that, Father.
Don't get short with me, young lady, or I'll get short with you!
Hmm, as you wish.
Well, I did raise her to be evil,
but if I could just lift…
Your magic is no match for my new fire powers.
Oh, yeah? Well, you're not the only one who can play with… fire!
Anything you can do, I can do hotter!
But you're no match for mega-fiery Wizard Lad!
Once I destroy you,
I will become the strongest wizard in the land!
But you can't destroy me if you can't find me!
Found you, and now I will…
Once I pick up this sword, and…
I'll take that, and do this…
I'll get you for this, Wizard Lad!
My reign will…
Quiet down, young lady,
or I'll send you back to magic reform school.
No… No-o-o-o!
Wizard Lad, I knew you would win.
Not without your help.
Well, you know we've always made a great team, Wizard Lad.
-Hey, Sally? -Yes, Wizard Lad?
Um, do you want to go to the Dumble-Dance with, uh… me?
Oh, Wizard Lad, I thought you'd never ask!
Oh, that was so close!
What was so close?
Johnny asked Sally to the Dumble-Dance, and she said yes.
Wizard Lad asked her.
How did we not see that?
Wizard Lad and Sally end up together!
It's perfect!
And it was all for nothing.
I almost got destroyed by a fire girl so you could find out
who a character in a book goes to a dance with.
It's not for nothing, because…
Here's all the "Johnny does any experiment we want" coupons back.
Uh, you don't have a dragon sword I could borrow, do ya?
No, but…
Cool.
