The fanfic starts @ the basement gym. Andy's practicing his karate on a punching bag while Joey & Matt swam laps @ the pool.
When they got out, they flexed muscles pretending to be "Pool Watch" stars (more on that later).
Up @ the penthouse, Joey & Matt put their swimwear in the dryer since it doubled as part of their super hero outfits. They find Andy watching "Pool Watch", a tv series about friends & lifeguards @ a swimming pool. Joey & Matt had a crush on the twin lifeguard sisters while Andy liked Peter Vasquez, played by AC Lopez. The reason Andy liked AC Lopez, he also plays the drums. Whenever AC played, Andy would rush to his drum set & play what he played.
"I'm gonna have a long talk with Andy." said Joey, "He should start liking girls."
"No Joey!" said Matt, "Andy's going through a stage of hero worship. He only likes AC for his drumming. Just like I was with Roy Reinerman, the football quarterback, when we threw passes & autographed my football."
A few hours later, Andy was on The Super Cool Brothers website.
When checking his e-mail, he found one from QBC (Quality Broadcasting Corporation). Andy read the note & printed it up.
"Joey! Matt!" exclaimed Andy, "I got an e-mail from QBC! They want The SC Bros. to appear on The Tom Martin Thanksgiving Telethon during teen hours! Should we appear?"
"Great cause," said Matt, "Donations go to homeless shelters for people who live there have a good holiday season."
"I guess we can have one episode without villains. Let's do it!"
said Joey.
Every Saturday before Thanksgiving, QBC broadcasts a tradition from 12:00 Noon-10:00 pm (CST), The Tom Martin Thankgiving Telethon.
Former straight-man, game show host/panelist Tom devotes 8 out of 10 hours, resting from 4:00-6:00 for teen hours. It's not that Tom dislikes teens, he just needs the rest for prime time. We pickup the story as two teen hosts start the telethon.
"Welcome back to the telethon!" he said.
"I'm Caroline O'Green,"
"I'm Eric Friedle from 'Boy Conquers America'. I'm excited, it's my first telethon!"
"Welcome to our teen hours!" said Caroline, "Coming up, we got the costumed troubadors who know how to rock & educate, The Super Cool Brothers!" teens scream, "The 'Pool Watch' cast will swim!"
"Ooow!" yelled Eric, "I'm going to be swimming with them!"
"Lucky you." said Caroline, "Get me AC's autograph."
"And remember, please keep calling the number on your screen & pledge!" said Eric, "But now I got a surprise. My co-star not only acts, he has a hidden talent. He's been playing the vibraphone since he was 14 years old. Meet my older tv-brother, also from 'Boy Conquers America', Kevin Matthews!"
Fans cheered as Kevin played a funky tune on the vibes,
accompanied by taped music. Don't worry, Kevin's playing for real.
Nobody fakes their instrument playing on my fanfics, or they'll pull a Milli Vanilli!
About 15 minutes later, after business firms issued checks for the telethon, Caroline said,
"You think Hanson's hot! These 3 boys not only fight crime & look good on their motorcycles, they do pretty good songs. Here they are, The Super Cool Brothers!"
The SC Bros. were on tv. SC Andy rocked on the drums while SC Joe & Matt played electric guitars. They played a rock beat as each hero took turns being lead singer (again, to please every Lawrence fan!).
SC MATT:
Giving is the reason,
for the holiday season.
SC JOE:
Donate food, clothes & toys,
to needy girls & boys.
SC ANDY:
Spread some love, goodwill & cheer,
May it last throughout the year.
SC BROS:
You'll feel good inside from your heart,
Helping others is really smart.
SC Andy played a small drum solo. Then SC Joe played guitar solo #1, followed by SC Matt's 2nd guitar solo. SC Andy stopped drumming as SC Joe & Matt capped an ending. Fans screamed as Caroline & Eric interviewed them.
"You heroes are really super cool!" said Caroline, "I love everyone of your educational/informative songs, but I like SC Joe's guitar playing!"
"We believe in teamwork & equality!" said SC Joe, "We write music, Larry writes lyrics."
"Now it's time to check the toteboard..."
"Wait!" said Eric, "Since this is my first telethon, I always wanted to do something & want to get it out of my system!"
Eric rushed to the empty orchestra area, went to the tympani,
grabbed some mallets & played a tympani drum roll.
The toteboard which read $757,046 changed to $764,287! Eric still played the tympani & SC Joe jammed with Eric playing guitar until they were off the air a minute later. The station manager got after Eric saying,
"You play those drums again & it will be your last telethon!"
The assistant producer told the station manager that a fan donated $250 when Eric played the tympani.
"Quick thinking, good job!" said the manager.
The SC Bros. were about to head home as their secret roadies loaded their instruments.
"Wait!" exclaimed Eric, "Can you give me a lift to the pool? My limo's broke down"
"Cool!" said SC Matt, "We're gonna meet the Pool Watch sisters!"
SC Joe handed Eric a helmet as Eric rode with SC Joe, with his brothers following. Since this story's set in November, they went to an indoor pool!
At the indoor pool, our heroes watched as they saw the performance for the telethon. Jenny & Penny Elysian (the gorgeous twin lifeguard sisters) did some synchronized swimming. Then Eric challenged AC Lopez to a 100 meter race. They had the same swimwear on as they raced each other. Even though AC's a former Olympic swimmer, he let Eric win!
After the tv crew left, our heroes got to meet the Pool Watch stars. SC Joe met Penny & SC Matt mett Jenny.
"If you're ever in distress, call on the coolest motorcycle super hero." bragged SC Joe.
"Man, I like to take you out on a date." said SC Matt.
The girls approached our heroes & pushed them into the pool (shallow water).
"We already have boyfriends!" they both said to our wet super heroes, as they got stung!
SC Andy saw AC Lopez relaxing in the hot tub. Just as he was about to talk to his hero, bodyguards approached.
"No one talks to AC Lopez!" said one in a mean voice, "No boy fans allowed, just girls!"
"I just wanted to tell AC he's the coolest drummer." pleaded SC Andy.
But the bodyguards picked up SC Andy & threw him into the pool (deep end). AC got out of the hot tub & told his bodyguards,
"You're fired!"
AC then rescued our boy super hero who was drowning. His older brothers saw AC give him mouth-to-mouth recusitation. SC Andy was ok.
"Thanks AC! But what about your bodyguards?" "They're looking for employment." said AC, "I'm a big fan of yours too! How about you escort me to my house & we'll have a drum session!"
SC Andy was pumped. AC drove his convertible with SC Andy behind on his junior motorcycle, going to AC Lopez's house. He had a special sound-proof room where he keeps a pair of congas, a pair of tympanis & a 10 piece set of drums. SC Andy stood on a footstool banging congas while AC played a drum solo. Then he had SC Andy play his drum set while AC played the tympani. SC Andy was impressed when AC played a tympani solo. When they finished, SC Andy asked,
"Will you teach me to play the tympani?"
AC got the footstool & handed him some mallets as SC Andy stood in front of the drum.
"To play," he instructed, "Always play the tympani near the rim, never in the middle of it."
AC showed him by playing a drum roll. Andy tried it & he was a pro!
"Did you take lessons?" he asked.
"No. I saw you play tympani twice on Pool Watch & on that home video 'Beginner Drums & Percussion With AC Lopez'" said SC Andy,
"You're the coolest tv star 7 awesome drummer. I got all your drum pics!"
"SC Andy," said AC, "The Pool Watch producers want me to quit playing the drums. They call it recovering the ratings, I call it a bunch of (CUCKOO!)."
SC Andy got mad, "If that's the case, I quit watching Pool Watch!
I hope you get canceled!"
"Don't blame me!" pleaded AC, "I don't like it either. You brothers have guts to play music in your super hero outfits & your songs are awesome! If you had a tv series, they probably don't want you to play & sing on the show!"
SC Andy left mad as he drove his junior motorcycle home.
When he reached home (as Andy), Joey & Matt teased him about his "date" with AC. Then he rushed to his bedroom & tore down AC's posters & put the scrapbook in the waistbasket. Joey saw this & calmed Andy down. Andy explained to Joey that Pool Watch is ditching his drumming.
"Andy," said Joey, "When I was your age, I had a music hero too.
Mine was actor Scott Bayer. He played the same guitar I have,
released 3 albums & even met him & saw him in concert. I was upset when he gave up the guitar for acting, but I learned how to play like him & even better. Save your scrapbbok Andy, you'll always have the memories."
Matt came into the bedroom & told Andy he's got e-mail. Andy went to the computer & saw it was from AC Lopez. The message read,
"SC Andy, I talked to my agent. How would you like to do something cool?" Andy read the rest of the message & replied.
Weeks later, the boys were watching Pool Watch. When it went to commercial, we find AC Lopez & Super Cool Andy @ an outdoor b-ball court, playing tympani together. Then they played an identical drum set together as AC rapped,
"When I was a bully @ my school,
a teacher told me not to be a fool.
Gave me some advice to win some chums,
Don't punch kids, beat on a set of drums!"
AC played a small drum solo. Then SC Andy played & rapped, "I'm Super Cool Andy, boy super hero,
Don't touch drugs, don't want to be a zero.
Drop the G in DRUGS & place an M, Get high playing on a set of drums!"
SC Andy played a small drum solo. Then they played together.
The coolest public service announcement made! Joey & Matt liked it.
THE END!
"HEY WAIT A MINUTE!" complained a fan, "SUPER COOL JOE & ANDY RAPPED,
WHAT ABOUT SUPER COOL MATT!"
To please this fan, here's Super Cool Matt playing his electric guitar. Playing rhythm, tapping on his wah-wah pedal & rapped,
"I'm Super Cool Matt, the super teen,
The super hero dressed in green!
The last brother who gets to rap,
Get with the beat & start to clap!
My fans are pleased & think they're in heaven,
& don't have to wait until 2007!
Got it out of my system, feel good so far,
I prefer singing & playing guitar.
Joe & Andy rapped, now I did too,
Now we're even & I am..."
"BOO!" yelled Joey & Andy.
