Dimlit asked "Are you sure we won't get
into trouble?" The rest popped out of their hiding spots.

Burgertron said "Of course, we won't.
Now, hurry up and have some fun before the Hunger Hubs get back, find us, and we get in big trouble."

Kikmee said as she and Bonz-eye getting ready to race "Kikmee and Bonz-Eye are focused, the competition fierce. Three, two, one!"

They raced into the popcorn machine then they began cheering

Bonz-eye said "You weren't lying, Burgertron. This place is as sublime
as you told us." She began eating some of the popcorn

Burgertron got some liquid on his face then he saw Clogstopper in oil "Love this gooey water! Fun and delicious!" He sank into it with ravenous gargling

Burgertron wiped the oil with a satisfied sigh "How I've longed
for this place." He saw something red "Agh!
The Mall Guard has a heat ray! Run for your lives!"

Dimlit turned off the light and said It's just me, sir! You got any French fries you
want to keep warm?" He struggled to keep balance "The reason I'm saying that is
because I have a heat bulb on my head!" Burgertron saw one of them missing "See, it's right here." He fell and began rolling away.
"The Food Court rules! You must really miss this!"

Burgertron said "Trust me, I know this is
the best place in the world. As the former leader of the
Hunger Hubs, all of this was my domain!
But now..." he said dramatically "Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised. I..." he perked up "hey! What's that?!"

Dimlit asked rolling by "What's what?"

"Whats what dudes?"

Burgertron jumped down and picked up a poster. He gave an excited gasp "YES! "I, Cheeseburger"!"

Clogstopper said "I plunger! This is fun, who's going next?"

Burgertron said "No, no, no, "I, Cheeseburger"
is the name of a play I wrote. A musical about a handsome young lunch item who takes the Mall by storm!"

The crowd gasps in awe and claps.

Dimlit fell and landed on Clogstopper

"You wrote a musical about
yourself?"

"What? How much of an egotist do you think I am?"

"...you wanna honest answer dude?" Spyke spoke

"Uhhhh....Anyway This play; written by me, music by me, and starring me, could be about any
Cheeseburger Robot in the entire Mall! The Hunger Hubs must be bringing
it back! The play was a smash h*t in its initial run, so it makes total sense they'd
revive it!"

Shin-knee said "If it's as good as you say, maybe we can get tickets."

Burgertron said "Tickets?! You don't get it! Only I can possibly play the lead!"

Kikmee asked leaning on Shin-knee "I thought you said this play could be about anybody?"

"He did."

"I can't help it if I'm the only actor in the Mall with enough talent to play the
role I wrote! They can't do this without me! And an encore performance will
remind the whole Mall how much they miss me!
All will be forgiven! We'll be back in our squads
in no time! Now, come on!"

"Woah woah woah! Slow down on the hot head Burgertron."

"I don't even belong to a sqaud dude." Spyke said

"Let me tell you something Burgertron, not every star is the same."

"What does that even mean?"

Spyke shrugs

They saw Burgertron leave then they heard Dimlit and Clogstopper tip over and stuck "Hey I might have gotten myself into a situation."

Back in the lost and found, Burgertron was doing vocal
exercises. "The Bots in the Cots have mostly
got the trots. The Bots in the Cots have mostly
got the trots."

Bonzeye asked "What's going on with this?"

"Oh, I'm getting my instrument
stage ready."

"What instrument? The kazoo? Please say the kazoo,
I love that."

Burgertron said dramatically "No! My voice! My body! These are the tools of an actor's trade. The Hunger Hubs could be here any minute to invite me back! Dimlit, I don't want my bun to shine under the stage lights! Powder me down."

Dimlit then did that making everyone covered in powder. Burgertron shook it off Perfect! I must limber up." He began squatting "One, two, three." He grunted in frustration "What is taking them so long? Don't the Hunger Hubs know if they don't make an offer soon I might accept another role?"

Dimlit said "You haven't been offered any
other... gah!" Dimlit was then taken by the hand being dragged

"Woah!" Spyke said

Burgertron said "Come on, let's just find out
what's happening!"

Burgertron, Shin-knee, and Dimlit peeked from a plant and saw the hunger hubs working on the play. Burgertron said "Huh. A decent stage. I would've done a few things
differently myself, but you know, it's fine."

Shin-knee asked "What's with you?"

Spud muffin said "Ok, cast. Let's block
the big duel scene. Ulf, feed the star his cue babe."

Ulf said "What's your name,
you ground beef? What's your name, if you will?

Then Brock O' Lonely slid in "Well, they call me TronBurger,
prince of the grill!"

Burgertron said "They've replaced me with
broccoli? This is an affront! I'm a delicious,
juicy cheeseburger! He's a vile-tasting plant
with a bad haircut! And it looks nothing like me...uh I mean the character of tronburger." Burgertron saw the Shin-knee was gone "Uh...where'd she go?"

They saw Shin-knee drag a horn as the others were talking "Eh, I mean the character
of TronBurger!"

Fottle barts said "Ugh! You forgot your costume!" Then she put the costume on Broc.

Burgertron was still ranting "Are you kidding me?!"

Dimlit said "Seriously! How'd they get him to
look so much like you?"

Shin-knee climbed the top. Then jumped on the horn.

While the rest of the hungar hubs was working on the scene they jumped making them fly to the curtains. Spyke then walks up to Shin-Knee, the minicon being much taller then the botbot "Hey, Lady dude! You need help with anything?"

"No I'm good. Just scaring these guys."

"Thats sick man, just tell me if you need anything, rock on lady bro." Spyke said, doing a rock sign before walking off

"Other than that scaring us. Let's finish this."

They continued working on the play but it was going... slowly. They did a sword scene. "Cue the blood!"
Fottle Barts then squirts out ketchup "And so, the cheese of justice
melts over the...uh, line?"

""Side dish of Evil.""
"Side dish of Evil!"

Burgertron had enough. He was pacing in the lost and found. Bonz-eye said "At least you'll still get credit for writing it, won't you?"

Burgertron said "Nobody cares about writers! Acting is the only thing that
matters, and I deserve to be the lead!"

"Hey, Lady dude." Spyke spoke, crouching down to Shin-knee's level as he pulls out a music sheet "Are you sure you want me to play this?"

"Don't ask me, ask Burgertron. I don't play in..."musicals.""

"But...its not a musical though? This is background music."

Clogstopper said "Yeah, but waddaya gonna do? It's not like you could use us
as a cast and crew to put on a rival production
at the exact same time as the Hunger Hubs or something."

Burgertron said "Brilliant! Audiences are smart! They'll be able to tell the difference between a rip-off
and the genuine article!"
It's time for us to put on: The REAL "I, Cheeseburger"! Now we only have three hours to prep an entire show, so let's get to work!"

Everyone looked at Clogstopper mad "What? Is something happening?"

Everyone got to work. They tried following Burgertron's dance moves. But they fell.

They began painting the stage. But Clogstopper spilled the paint making everyone slip.

Burgertron tired to show a pose but nearly everyone was asleep.

Shin-knee started working on gathering costumes. She tired on different things, to which everyone reacted differently. The first one was a princess dress.

Spyke was writing the music

The others were excited about them but Burgertron didn't like anything, which made Shin-knee and Spyke mad.

Shin-knee kicked him in the shin. Spyke well... Spyke picks burgertron up and hangs him on a coat rack

Burgertron put a poster up. "Okay, the audience has got to be'showing up right now, and I don't want to put any unnecessary pressure on us,  but I'm pretty sure that after
tonight, history will be divided into before The Real "I, Cheeseburger" and after The Real "I, Cheeseburger." You've memorized your lines."

Clogstopper asked "Lines?"

"Okay, well,
you have your costumes, and best of all,
you have your talent. Now go out there
and break a leg."

"What?!"
"That is terrible!"
"No, it's just something
people say before shows. It means good luck!"
"Then why didn't you say good luck? Words make no sense to me."

"It's show talk, Dimlit."

An alarm tone began ringing
"It's time! Places!"

The audience began applauding. "Go, don't miss your first cues!"

Then an upbeat pop tune plays.

The audience was wooing as Kikmee was first on the stage ♪ How does a brilliant, genius,
greasy meat bot ♪ ♪ Become a beloved, handsome,
leader at the top? ♪

Then a western background came up "Uh, in the pressure cooker of love and em..."

A space background appeared as Bonz-eye was lowered by a rope "What's your name, you ground beef? What's your name, if you will?"

Burgertron slid in ♪ They call me TronBurger,
Prince of the Grill! ♪

The audience cheering in distance.

But Sprinkleberry D'uhnut was the only one there "Bot Bots."

Burgertron asked "What?!"

In the distance Brock O' Lonely was rapping ♪ Like my lettuce,
my beats stay super crisp ♪

♪ And the rhymes that I spit
are the tastiest! ♪

Burgertron said "Turn up our speaker!"

Shin-knee said "Um okay."

She turned it up as they continued singing.

♪ When he was mere ground beef
his destiny was charred ♪

♪ Now he keeps the club poppin'
like a party bodyguard! ♪

There was intense microphone feedback making shin-knee cover her ears making her fall back as the speakers blew up.

Everyone else covered their ears then got up. Shin-knee said "Um I might have gotten myself into a problem." Shin-knee was smoking a bit from the blow up.

"Yo, what happened lady dude?" Spyke asked

"Speaker problems." She coughed out a bit of smoke.

Bonz-eye tapped out some out of the smoke.

Burgertron said "Ugh!
I expected the play to be hot, but not because our stage
manager lit herself on fire! That's it, we're shutting down! Sorry I wasted your time
everybody, but we're calling curtains."

Sprinkleberry D'uhnut transformed then rolled out. Kikmee said "Yeah, that was fun but maybe
we're not good enough to be stage performers."

Clogstopper said "Is that what all this was?"

Shin-knee said "It's probably best we quit."

Burgertron said "Quit? I said we're shutting
down, that doesn't mean I'm giving up."

Brock O' lonely said ♪ Let me tell you something now
from the top of my bun ♪

♪ When I was fresh and wanted
power, I should...♪

"...should have dreamed of fun!"

"What are you doing?!"

"It's called wowing an audience,
you should try it some time. "

They both sang in unison ♪ Do I write my
tale in ketchup ♪

♪ To be wiped up like a spill ♪

♪ Or do I scorch it in char
lines with my lyrical skill? ♪

They were slapping each other

Spud muffin said "This is not happening."

"Why are there two completely
identical cheeseburgers on stage?"

"Maybe it's a comment on the way we, as individuals, often feel
we're fighting against ourselves for control of our own
identities."

Bonz-eye said "This will not end well."

"Ohhh. That broccoli is the best
cheeseburger I've ever seen."

Spud muffin face palmed as another botbot came up with a sword

♪ Betray your friends,
you meaty fool ♪

♪ Or face me in a final duel! ♪

♪ Then a duel it is ♪

♪ For if friendship's like a
fountain drink ♪

♪ I'll never pour mine down
the sinky sink! ♪

Burgertron and Brock O' lonely struggled to take the sword "No that's mine."
"Gimme!"

They began fighting.
Then the stage fell.

Fottle Barts squirted ketchup.

"And so, the cheese of justice
melts over the side dish of evil!"

The botbots gave rapterous applause.

"Brilliant! The best acting in the history of the Mall!"

Burgertron began walking. But was stopped "Oh, uh... Spud, buddy.
Hi! I was just, uh..."

"I know what you were trying
to do, bro. Not cool, man. Not cool."

Burgertron sadly walked off.

"Oooh. That broccoli is the best cheeseburger I've ever seen."

Spud muffin heard growling. Spud muffin saw Shin-knee. "Aw what are you going to do? Cute me to death?"

Spud muffin then laughed then he saw Spyke as he gave a signal.

"Uhhh, what was I supposed to do?" Then he remembered. "Oh, right." He then picks Spud muffin up.

The two had glowing eyes as they laughed evilly. Making spud muffin scared.

Meanwhile Burgertron was saddened as he sighed.

Dimlit said "Hey, sir. Can I show you something?"

Burgertron climbed up on the cubby's and asked "Huh?"

Kikmee said "Coach, we know you took it personally when the Hunger Hubs
didn't invite you back to the play, but it wasn't just
you that wanted to do it."

Bonz-eye said "The short time we were onstage
was actually very exciting for us. We've never done
anything like that." Dimlit said "And we'd really love to try it
again. Would you help us?"

Burgertron said "I'm really glad you enjoyed it
everyone, at least my stupid self-centered
plan was fun for somebody, but I just can't do that again, it's too painful."

Shin-knee played the musical tune

greasy meat bot ♪

"Who's the Cheeseburger?!"

"I, Cheeseburger!" "Who's the Cheeseburger?"
"I, Cheeseburger!"

"Who's the Cheeseburger?!"

They all said in unison
"We're ALL the Cheeseburger!"

"Eat that, Brock O' Lonely!"

Than it ended.
