Tribute

[Nostalgia Critic]

(January 18th. Same time as "Girl wanna have fun" open to all MEN on critic's side)

Critic got out his wallet and specific credit cards. Critic was upset with the news about Goggles and knew that Ma-Ti was hating himself more than ever because of it, on top of that Goggles was Spoony's love and Critic absolutely understood. Critic planned a special trip to the arcade/bar at the chicago mall and all the men knew about it. Elisa told him she planned the same for IHeart and all the girls knew about THAT. Critic allowed it and tonight was the night for him to finally cheer Ma-Ti and Spoony up.

He turned to Snob who was going to get Ma-Ti and Spoony for the trip and replied "Snob. You ready?"
XXXXX

Snob smiled, grabbing his own wallet and replying "Hell yeah. Go get the others to the kitchen critic so we can shout the surprise" With that he went to go get spoony and Ma-Ti. Snob knocked on the door to spoony's room due to getting him first and replied to Spoony who was staring at the ceiling on his room wall "Hey man. What's up?"
XXXX

"Go away. I want to stare into nothing" Spoony replied depressedly
XXX

Snob replied "Can we go together to get ma-ti please? Critic needs everybody to the kitchen for...." He tried to come up with something then he replied "For a training meeting"
XXXX

Spoony growled annoyed and replied "Fine. Let's get ma-ti. He and you guys are the only ones I don't hate" With that he and snob with spoony having the angerist face possible went to find ma-ti
XXXXX

"Alright boys. Spoony's been successfully taken next up is ma-ti. You guys ready?" Critic asked to all the men who was with him in the kitchen
XXXXX

Sherlock Holmes nodded "Most definitely. The chaps need a break"
XXX

"Totally dude!" 90's kid happily remarked

[Dr. Linksano/Wayne Schlumper]

Linksano, Detective Stone, and Chester stood in the kitchen with the others ready to help out.

"Those two need some cheering up. I'm glad we're doing this." said Linksano.

XXXX

"I can't believe you just told me five minutes ago." said Chester.

XXXX

"You would have told them all five minutes after we told you." said Stone.

XXXX

Chester frowned looking away from them not wanting to say anything.

XXXX

Meanwhile upstairs Ma-Ti sat in his room depressed. They had his ring, they had Chick, Morpheus, and Patch. Nella & Goggles were now both brainwashed. He felt awful for breaking up Spoony and Goggles. Sure Iheart had tried to comfort him and the others had told him it wasn't his fault. Not even Spoony blamed him but hearing him curse and get upset this morning had hurt even worse than him possibly hating him.

"I wish I could change the past. But I can't. Why was I so foolish?" said Ma-Ti.

[Nostalgia Critic]

Critic looked over to Chester "Sorry man, but the point is that you know now and we gotta get ready" Critic then looked to the others, and he hoped that ma-ti would be convinced to come with them as easily as spoony did. Hopefully spoony and ma-ti would appreciate this.
XXXXX

Spoony got rid of the pouty face for Ma-Ti's sake but it didn't stop him from being completely feeling empty and he droned to Ma-Ti's room. Snob looked to him, barely containing the excitement but he knocked on Ma-Ti's door "Hey! Ma-Ti! We need you for a important training meeting. We know you're upset but can you come with us?"
XXXX

Sherlock Holmes nodded to the others "Indeed. The shame of that Ma-Ti fellow. That and Spoony. Those two apparently hit a rough patch"
XXXX

90's kid was practically jumping in excitement but he tried his best to calm down. He was not very successful due to his excitement

[Ma-Ti]

Chester nodded knowing it was for the best in the end.

"So where are we going anyway?" asked Chester.

XXXX

Ma-Ti heard Snob and sighed. He didn't want to go but he supposed he needed to go to the meeting. He walked to the door and opened it.

"I didn't hear about a meeting before. What's this surprise meeting about anyway?" said Ma-Ti.

[Nostalgia Critic]

(OCC: Ma-Ti. It was snob who said that but hey it works XD)

"Critic's ADD you know that" Snob replied, almost excited enough to smile but he kept a serious face. Snob then walked to the kitchen expecting the other two to follow. Spoony gave a half-hearted look of greeting to Ma-Ti before sulkly going to the kitchen beside snob.
XXX

Critic looked and then whispered to Chester "The mall. There's a arcade/bar that they just opened. I gave us all a reversation yesterday. Spoony's a gamer and ma-ti just needs a break so that's the best I could do"
XXXXX

"Focusing on the other person's interest is most informative of you critic" Sherlock Holmes replied when 90's kid looked at him confused sherlock responded "Oh it means, it was nice of him to think about spoony and ma-ti rather than himself"

[harv]

"Indeed it was Sherlock. Your a good guy. Once this war is over you may have trouble doing your job." Linkara was also sad about Goggles, but not so much as Critic, Spoony or Ma-Ti. He had wished he had talked to her more now.

"Jeez 90's Kid could you stop hopping around? Your givin me a migraine!" Harvey dusted off his suit as he paced back and forth. Paw was just sitting beside Critic and grinned "Nice one Critic. I'll get totally drunk."

"If we have a car, Paw's driving."

"Damn."

[Nostalgia Critic]

"Haha Link, It's alright. I'll drive for us. Let Paw knock himself out for once" Critic replied to Linkara. He felt the praise of Sherlock Holmes make him feel instead of godly just downright good but hey, his friends were depressed and by god he was gonna make them feel better if it killed him
XXX

"Sorry dude! I'm just so excited!" 90's kid stopped bouncing but stood very stiffly like a child waiting in line for a ice cream. He couldn't wait.
XXXX

"You know this meeting really better be worth our time you know? Me and Ma-Ti really just want to chill ok?" Spoony said tiredly and annoyedly

"Oh we know. Trust me we do. Just try to keep up guys. You'll see this meeting will be worth it!" Snob replied going near the kitchen
XXXX

Critic saw them coming even closer and replied "Alright dudes. Shh! They're coming. Get ready" 90's kid covered his mouth and Sherlock took a deep breath and kept his mouth entirely shut

[Linkara]

Paw grinned, as Harvey muttered something about a kareoke bar being there. Instantly, they looked keen and raring to go for this meeting, which was true, so they didn't need to act much. Harvey kept a somber expression on, similar to that of a funeral of a close friend. Linkara and Paw were trying desperately not to look at each other in fear of cracking up.

[Ma-Ti]

Ma-Ti nodded following the group downstairs. As he walked into the kitchen he noticed it was all guys.

"Where's Iheart and the rest of the girls?" asked Ma-Ti.

He felt something was off but without his ring he no longer could read minds. He looked at Critic.

XXXX

Stone spoke up.

"They're in another meeting in the medbay. Critic decided to have separate meetings today." said Stone.

XXXX

"Separate meetings? Wouldn't it be better if we were all in one room like usual? Especially if it's important." said Ma-Ti.

[Nostalgia Critic]

Snob knew he had to keep them staying long enough to be fooled. Snob then frowned giving his best acting to the level and replied to Critic "Nah. The girls aren't going to handle where we're going right critic?"
XXXX

Spoony looked around just as curious of where all the women were. He didn't believe the seperate meeting thing Stone mentioned and his face proved that "OK seriously. You guys are hiding something. What's really going on?" He then noticed Linkara and Paw acting stiff as if to hold something and Spoony got slightly more curious and calmed his anger to ask "Seriously. I'm asking nicely here. What's up?"
XXXX

Snob looked to Critic, who turned to Spoony and Ma-Ti with a mocking frown knowing he was making a small act, Snob couldn't help but smile. Critic then grinned ear to ear and replied with his arms wide open and his over-the-top joy "Surprise guys! Linkara! Tell these two what they won!"
XXXX

90's kid laughed as Critic litterally told them the surprise. 90's kid went over to Ma-Ti and patted him on the back. Spoony was shocked of Critic's response to him and turned to Linkara for his answer

[Linkara]

"You have won... drum roll Paw if you please." Paw beatboxed a drum roll as Linkara took a deep breath "a boy's night out with all of us. Apparently there's this great bar with it's own arcade! Critic got a reservation for us all. So what do you think?"

Paw grinned as he saw in his mind the huge pile of beer barrels in his head.

[Ma-Ti]

Ma-Ti smiled in spite of himself realizing all the trouble Critic must have gone through to set this up. As much as he didn't want to have fun especially tonight he knew they'd probably drag him if necessary. Then he remembered bar's usually had age limits. They could take Spoony and cheer him up but not him. Well maybe he could go hang out with Iheart and the girls for a bit.

"Wait a second. I'm 16. I can't go to a bar." said Ma-Ti.

(ooc: I'm guessing the bar's kind of like a bowling alley where anyone could go but underage people can just play in the arcade not get drinks from the bar. So Ma-Ti would be going anyway. xd)

[Nostalgia Critic]

(OCC: The bar/arcade is indeed like a bowling alley just without bowling and tons more games and activities. No worries. Ma-Ti can go there XD)

"Not to worry. You'll have plenty of activities at the arcade so you'll be aloud in. I knew you wouldn't be allowed to drink and since I'm driving everybody there and back I'll go with ya and if the others wanna stop and play something they'll be able to. I got it all covered!" Critic said excited, he didn't care if ma-ti was objecting despite the excitement, nothing was gonna stop him from cheering ma-ti and spoony up
XXXXX

"Really? That's so awesome! I-I don't know what to say!" Spoony said, shocked and smiling. His attitude dropped and instead was replaced with some sort of joy a birthday boy would have if a suprise party was made for him. He just ruffled his head in shock and laughed a bit. "You guys got me good" He replied
XXXX

"Don't say anything then! Let's just get ready to go dudes!" 90's kid replied hugging spoony then jumping up a bit "I got dibs on the first terminator arcade game!"
XXXX

Sherlock smiled and said "You two deserve a break. We found it in our interest to enjoy a night. It's the best we could do for the both of you"
XXXXX

Snob smiled to Spoony and laughed "Thanks. I worked hard on my acting, I think I got carried away with talking but I think I did good enough. Surprise guys"

[Linkara]

"What are we waiting for?" Linkara bellowed, making for the door at the same time as Harvey and Paw. Paw was fantasying about getting so drunk that he would actually get a pink elephants dream. Harvey was dreaming about a huge karaoke bar. As for Linkara, he wanted a rematch of the Critic on the dancing games.

[Ma-Ti]

"Alright. I'll go. It sounds like fun." said Ma-Ti trying to sound cheerful.

One night wouldn't be so bad. Maybe he would have fun tonight. And if he didn't he'd be no worse off than he was now.

XXXX

"Alright. Then let's go. Are we teleporting or taking cars?" said Linksano.

XXXX

"I say walk. The mall's not too far away and if we just show up out of nowhere we might draw suspicion." said Stone.

XXXX

"Alright. Let's go party!" said Chester.
