Club Chaos

Club Chaos is the twelfth episode of the first season of The Adventures Of True.

When Blue goes on vacation, she needs someone to be in charge of the club, and Sunny is chosen, much to True's dismay, so she decides to try and convince her other friends to make her the leader instead.

One Friday afternoon, Blue, Stocking Head, and Sprinkles were having a club meeting.

"Alright, guys, listen up." Blue was saying. "As a lot of you may know already, me and Sprinkles will be going on vacation to Great Wolf Lodge next week. We're leaving tomorrow morning and we won't be back until next Saturday. Since Stocking Head can't run this club by himself, we need someone to run it with him."

"We had every one of you write down your names on one end of a popsicle stick and put the sticks in an empty soup can." added Stocking Head. "Today, we will decide who will help me run the club."

"Oh, please let it be me!" True grinned to herself.

"And Blue and Sprinkles' temporary successor will be...." said Stocking Head.

Stocking Head pulled a stick from the can.

"Sunny." he said.

"Yes!" cheered Sunny. "I knew you'd pick me!"

But True was upset.

"But I wanted to be picked." she lamented quietly.

Later on, she was talking about this with Franklin, who was spending the night.

"I just don't get it." said True. "I really thought that I would be picked to lead the club while Blue is away. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the decision, it's just that I would have made a better choice, that's all."

"What makes you think that?" asked Franklin.

"Well, like I said on the day I even joined the club, the show I come from doesn't air on Nick Jr. compared to Sunny's." explained True. "I thought that since I'm a non-Nick Jr. character, it would be sort of a nice change. And another thing, my show has been on longer than Sunny's, even both my show and Sunny's first aired three years ago."

"Those are really good points." said Franklin. "Plus, I personally think you would be a good leader, because you're one of the nicest kids I've ever met. But a decision has been made."

"Yeah, and like I said, I have nothing against it." said True.

"Although, maybe you should talk to Stocking Head about it in the morning and tell him you're interested in it." Franklin then suggested. "Who knows, he might give it some thought."

"Good idea." said True. "I'll do it."

The next day, the club held another meeting.

"We've gathered you all here today because True has something she'd like to say." said Sunny.

True stepped up to the clubhouse's lectern.

"Thank you, Sunny." she said. "I have thought about this since yesterday, and I would like to say that I also want to be the leader of this club until Blue and Sprinkles get back from their vacation."

The other kids were surprised to hear this, especially Sunny.

"To be fair, I truly respect Stocking Head's decision based on the sticks, but I think I would do just a good a job at leading the club as Sunny." said True. "I mean, who was the one who you really made feel welcome here in Nick Jr. Town despite not being a Nick Jr. character originally? Who was the one who you guys had that big birthday party for weeks ago, my first one in Nick Jr. Town?"

"Those are really good points." said Rintoo.

"Yeah, they are." agreed Tolee.

"Tell you what, True." said Stocking Head. "We'll have a vote on Tuesday after school to determine if you should be the president of the club instead of Sunny or not."

"Perfect." said True.

While True was getting ready for bed that night, she was still thinking about the upcoming vote.

"All I need is to get more votes than Sunny so I can win." she thought to herself.

The following Monday at school, True was on the jungle gym with Gil at recess.

"Listen, Gil, if I win the election, I'll see if I can get free ice cream coupons for all of us." said True.

"Really?" asked Gil. "I'd love free ice cream with my lunches! Sure, True, you got my vote!"

Gil held out his hand for True to shake, but he then fell off the jungle gym.

"I'm okay!" he said. "And you still have my vote!"

After recess, True was in the bathroom with Molly.

"So, I can promise that if I win, we'll all have some of James' Swedish blueberry soup every meeting." she said.

"Sounds yummy." smiled Molly as she licked her lips. "Okay, I'll vote for you."

The girls went to shake hands, but True realized something.

"We better wash first." she said.

Later, True was showing Nonny some drawings of a bandana for the club she had designed.

"These bandanas are a nice idea, True." Nonny said. "But, I'm going to be voting for Sunny, sorry."

"How come?" asked True.

"Because she said she'd ask her mom about giving me a free haircut." replied Nonny.

"But giving free stuff isn't going to do it." said True. "There's more to being a good president than giving people free stuff."

"If you say so." shrugged Nonny.

Finally, True talked with Rintoo during Independent Reading time.

"If I'm elected president, I'm gonna move some club money around to get you that bike you've had your eyes on for a while now." she offered.

"That would be cool, True." said Rintoo. "But if you're looking for my vote, it's too late, Sunny promised that she'd take the whole club bowling."

True began to feel discouraged.

"I guess trying to get people to vote for you is harder than I thought." she said to herself.

The next day at lunch, she was speaking with Franklin about this.

"It's not looking too good, Franklin." she told him. "The vote occurs today, and so far, Sunny and I each have three votes, which means Stocking Head will have to break the tie, and he'll more than likely choose Sunny again."

"Gee, I'm sorry, True." said Franklin. "But, hey, at least you gave it your best shot."

"Oh no, I'm not giving up yet." said True. "Sunny doesn't know what's best for the club, but I do. I've got so many ideas for it."

"Too bad you don't have a fourth member who could vote for you." said Franklin.

True got an idea.

"Actually, I do." she said.

She looked directly at Franklin.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Franklin asked.

But then, he figured it out.

"Oh, you want me to vote for you." he concluded. "What's in it for me?"

"I'll help you with your math homework." True said.

"It's a deal." agreed Franklin as the two friends shook hands.

Later that afternoon at the clubhouse, everyone gathered for the vote.

"Alright, people, it's time to do what we came here for." said Stocking Head. "All those in favor of True becoming president of the club instead of Sunny raise their hands."

Gil, Molly, and Tolee raised their hands, and Stocking Head jotted them down.

"Okay, that's three votes for True." said Stocking Head. "All in favor of keeping Sunny as president raise their hands."

Nonny, Rintoo, and Timmy raised their hands, and Stocking Head jotted those down, too.

"Well, it looks like we have a tie." said Stocking Head. "As vice president of this club, I feel that I should be the one to break this tie. Therefore, the pres..."

"Wait, stop!" Franklin shouted abruptly. "I vote for True!"

True happily went up to the lectern.

"Yes!" she cried. "I win! Move over, Sunny! This club has a new president!"

Everyone was shocked and angry, but before anyone could protest, the club meeting was adjourned, and everyone left. The next morning, True walked into school feeling very happy about herself.

"My first week as club president." she said.

True then saw Sunny at the drinking fountain outside Principal Meanswell's office.

"Hi, Sunny!" True said with a wave.

But Sunny didn't respond. She just gave True a dirty look and walked away angrily.

"Gee, what's her problem?" True asked.

True just assumed that Sunny had just gotten up on the wrong side of the bed and went to class, but when she sat down at her desk, she discovered that Sunny had moved to the far back in the classroom away from her and everyone else, and when she tried to sit next to Sunny at lunch, Sunny moved to a different table to eat her lunch.

"What is going on with her?" True wondered out loud.

At recess, True saw Sunny on the swings and went over to her.

"Sunny?" she asked.

"What do you want?" huffed Sunny.

"I want to talk to you." replied True. "You've been ignoring me all day. Why is that?"

"Answer your own question, Bernadette Arnold." Suny growled.

True was appalled at what she had just been called.

"What did you just call me?" she asked.

Sunny just got up from the swing, gave True a small envelope, and stormed off. True went over to a picnic table, sat down, opened the envelope, and pulled out a folded-up piece of paper, and when she unfolded it, the message was short and very sour:"'YOU'RE OUT OF THE CLUB!😡'"True couldn't believe what she just read.

"This has got to be a joke." she thought to herself. "Surely, they don't mean it."

She then saw Timmy, Franklin, and Stocking Head playing basketball with Gil, Goby, and Nonny and went over to them.

"Guys?" called True.

"Yes, True?" asked Stocking Head.

True showed the boys the note.

"What's this all about?" she asked.

The boys fell silent for about a minute until Stocking Head spoke up.

"I'm sorry, True, but Sunny felt betrayed that Franklin voted for you at the last minute, so after you left yesterday, she ordered us to reverse the vote and kick you out." Stocking Head.

True was aghast.

"What?!" she cried.

"I'm afraid so." said Timmy.

True felt very saddened at this news. She turned and walked sadly away to have a good cry behind a bush. The boys felt very sorry for themselves indeed.

"What have we done?" asked Gil.

"This is all my fault." said Franklin. "If I hadn't voted for True at the last minute, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Dude, don't beat yourself up over it." said Nonny. "If it's anyone's fault, it's Sunny's fault for taking this so personally."

"That's right." said Timmy. "She knows better than that. Well, one thing's for sure, I'm not going back to that club."

"Neither am I." said Franklin.

Gil, Goby, and Nonny agreed, and they spread the news to the other club members. That Friday, when Sunny went into the clubhouse, she took her position at the lectern and waited for everyone to come, but nobody showed up

"Hey, where the heck is everyone?" she asked.

Her answer came in a matter of seconds, because when she went over to the lectern, she found a note taped to it. The note said:"'Dear Sunny,""The members of the club have decided that since you made it clear that True doesn't deserve to be in the club after what happened on Tuesday, than neither do we, and so, we have quit the club. We won't be coming back until you get your act together and apologize to True.""Sincerely,""The members of the Nick Jr. Town Kids' Club""P.S. If you want to talk to us, we're hanging out with True.'"Sunny felt very guilty as she read the note.

"What have I done?" she asked. "I'm a terrible friend!"

It was right then and there that Sunny decided what had to be done. She left the clubhouse and went over to True's house. When she arrived, she rang the doorbell and James answered.

"Why, hello, Sunny." said James.

"Hi, James." said Sunny. "Is True home?"

"No, she's not." said James. "She's at Mr. Porter's with the other kids."

"Alright." said Sunny. "Thanks."

With that, Sunny got on her bike and rode to Porter's Cafe, where indeed, she saw True and the other kids happily eating ice cream and chatting away, but when they saw Sunny, their moods changed from happiness to pure anger.

"What are you doing here?" asked Franklin.

"I came to apologize to everyone, especially you, True." said Sunny. "I am very sorry I was so rotten to you on Tuesday. I guess I was so upset about Franklin putting in his vote at the last minute that I just let my anger get the better of me. I didn't know what I was doing. I'm so sorry, True. It's okay if you don't want to be my friend anymore."

True smiled.

"All is forgiven, Sunny." she said.

Sunny was surprised.

"Hold up, you're going to forgive me just like that?" she asked.

"Just like that." replied True. "And I admit, I'm not completely innocent myself. I should've just accepted you being chosen to be the interim president of the club instead of trying to take over. I'm sorry, too."

Sunny smiled too.

"Apology accepted." she smiled.

The two friends hugged.

"And you know, True, maybe we can work out some kind of compromise." said Sunny.

"Like what?" asked True.

"I might know a way." said Stocking Head. "Maybe you can both be co-president of the club whenever Blue can't make it to a meeting."

"That's a great idea." said True.

"Yeah, it is." agreed Sunny.

"All in favor?" asked Stocking Head.

Everyone raised their hands, and it was decided. The following day, Blue and Sprinkles returned from their vacation, and the other kids held a pizza party to celebrate. During the party, Blue was informed about everything that happened, including the events of Tuesday. Naturally, Blue wasn't happy about what Sunny had done to True, but immediately forgave her when True told her how Sunny had apologized. In addition, Blue and Sprinkles both agreed that whenever neither Blue nor Sprinkles nor even both could make it to a club meeting, True and Sunny would both fill in for them, and when True went to sleep that night, she felt happy to have overcome a major obstacle with her friends.
