If you did clean your room, I would be very happy.

What is it, sweetie?
- Well, I just got an email from Choir Director Lisa
saying that I get to do a solo in church this Sunday!
- Wow! - CHARLIE: [clapping]
- That's amazing, Rebecca!
- Finally.
That choir director's always giving her nephew the solo
and he sounds like a cat choking when he sings.

- You know what? Come here.
I'm very proud of you, baby girl.
Bring it in, bring it in.
Especially after all the hard work you put in
with choir this year.
It'll be great to see it pay off.
I'm proud of you. Go Rebecca.

You gonna steal my thunder?

this Sunday.
- Finally, someone who can really sing.
- I know, that's what I said!
- [audience laughing]
- Dylan, what were you talking about?
- My PopRocks page.
I just posted a new video and nothing.
I used to rack up followers when I posted one,
but now not one new follower.
- Maybe you just need to, you know,
wow them with something new.
- I have!
Check it out!
I used video effects, like rapping in space,
I went back in time and rapped with the Vikings.
Oh, and I just rapped on my own private yacht.
But still, nothing.

- Well, cheer up, buddy.
Your page is in a slump, that's all.

And you just got another new followers!

Over there is Team Mystery X.

Even the teachers are getting into it!

- Hey Dylan, can I have my Viking helmet back?
My sister keeps b*ating me at Shopping Cart Speed Derby
on X-station and the helmet gives me an edge.
- Sure, you can come by the house after school.
- Alright.
What is everyone staring at?
You're not doing a flash mob are you?
Because I was never asked!
- No, Dylan's a hit!
Some rapper named Mystery X crashed his PopRocks page
and challenged him to a rap battle.
- Yeah, I've doubled my followers.
- Who is Mystery X?
- No one knows, he just appeared out of nowhere.
- But I put it down on my last reply though.
- Dylan's winning this battle!
- What? No, he isn't!
- Mystery X hasn't posted a reply, sounds like he knows
he's lost! I bet he's scared.

- Good.
I'm gonna go upstairs and practice for my solo.
- [giggling]
- Why are you smiling like that?
- [audience laughing]
- Okay, I was gonna surprise you but I can't wait.
I got you a new dress for your solo, what do you think?
- I think I arrived just in time.
- Viola, how'd you get in my house?
And have you been upstairs the whole time?
- Doesn't matter.
That can't be her dress for the choir solo.
Unh-uh, no, no, no, no, no.
This is her dress for the choir solo.
Much better.
- I think my dress is a little more contemporary
and suits Rebecca better.
Don't you think so, honey?
- Uh, [chuckling]
I think I'm just gonna go upstairs on try these on.
I'll get back to you.
- Oh, I get it.
You don't want to hurt your mother's feelings.
Very respectful.
- My feelings?!
Rebecca, pick whatever dress you want.
Which of course is gonna be my dress.
- Uh okay, thanks.

- Hey, hey, you guys are home a little late.
- Sorry, we were waiting with Team Dylan to see
if Mystery X would drop another video.
- Okay wait, so there's a Team Dylan now?
- What can I say, I have fans.
And my followers keep coming,
I'm almost up to .
- Oh okay, so did Mystery X drop another video?
- Nope. But I'm gonna work on some new rhymes
just in case he does. - He won't.
He's too scared because Dylan really dropped
some cool lyrics on his last post.
- Not "cool lyrics", I dropped some fire on that last post.

Dylan, I'm here for my helmet.

♪ You couldn't even get Christmas, yeah! ♪
- Mystery X! Where's Dylan? I'm warning you!
I'm a brown belt in Karate,
a grey belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu,
and I just started Capoeira on Monday.
Hiya!
- [audience laughing]
- [grunts] - [yelps]
- Relax, Booder. It's me.
- Dylan, you're Mystery X?!
But why?
- Because I stopped getting followers
on my PopRocks page.
Then, when I came up with Mystery X,
look what happened, I doubled my followers in one day.
I'm like the stock market.
- What do you know about the stock market?
- [audience laughing]
- Nothing.
But I know how to double things
so maybe I should learn.
- But why are you still Mystery X?
Don't you think you should quit while you're ahead,
since everyone thinks you won?
- But check it out, if I can double followers in one day,
imagine how many followers I can get in a week?!
A month?!
- But Dylan, you're playing with fire.
This could all blow up in your face.
People think you won, just let it go.
- Well Booder, you're right about one thing,
I'm playing with fire because my lyrics are so fire.
And the only one that's gonna blow up, is me!
Straight to the top!
- CHARLIE: Hey, Rebecca.
What's wrong?
Are you feeling the pressure to clean your room?
- [audience laughing]
- No, Mom and Grandma both bought me dresses for Sunday.
I'm nervous I'm gonna hurt both of their feelings.
Has that ever happened to you?
- No, they've never bought me dresses.
- [audience laughing]
- But they did both buy me ice cream
at the same time once.
One was chocolate, the other was mint chocolate.
- You don't like mint chocolate.
- I know, that's why I didn't eat it.
Grandma wasn't happy, but I sure was.
- [audience laughing]
- So what are you saying?
- Youúre always worried about hurting Momús
and Grandma's feelings, but what about yours?
You'll never be happy if you aren't honest
and let them know how you really feel.
- But I hate to see that sad look on their faces.
- Better than you having a sad look.
Especially if you're doing your solo in church.
This is your time to shine!
- [audience laughing]
- Hmm, I could really go for some ice cream
right about now.
- [audience laughing]
- KEILAN: Man, Mystery X's post last night
was off the hook.
- Yeah, but Dylan's response this morning gave me life!
- Mystery X is gonna take Dylan down.
- Don't listen to Keilan, there's no way Mystery X
can top you!
- Christian, what are you talking about?
Mystery X is going to make Dylan's lyrics
seem like nursery rhymes with his next one.
- Wait, hold on, hold up!
Wind that back.
Nursery rhymes?
Mystery X cannot handle me!
- [chuckling]
Dylan, relax.
- Booder, no, no, no.
You relax.
Back up.
Mystery X doesn't want any of this fire,
because he's nothing but smoke.
- Whatever.
He can b*at you easy in a live battle all day, every day!
- Name the time and place and Dylan
will be waiting there to battle, right Dylan?
- Um.
- As Dylan's future manager, I must put my foot down.
There will be no live battle.
- You heard that right?
Dylan said he's scared to battle X!
- I didn't say I was scared.
- See, it's on!
- [chanting "battle"]
- Okay, the battle will be tomorrow after school
here in the hallway!
I'll post it on Mystery X's page so he knows.
- Dylan, what did you do?!
- I literally did nothing.
- [audience laughing]
- I came as fast as I could.
What's the emergency?
- Well, guess who's gonna be Mystery X?
- Oh no! Not me, no way!
- Booder, come on!
It'll be easy, you just have to wear the mask
and no one will even know it's you.
Besides, you owe me.
- I owe you? For what?
- For getting me into this.
- How did I get you into this?
- Because when you found out I was Mystery X
you didn't stop me from posting more videos.
- I tried.
- Well, you should have tried harder.
Wait, wait, wait.
I've got it all thought out.
I loaded the whole battle with me doing
both of our parts on this karaoke mic.
We just have to pass the mic back and forth.
No one will even know it's us.
- But what about my voice?
- I already recorded Mystery X with his voice.
So, all we do is sit back and lip sync.
Here. Watch me.

we picked?

Next time, just be honest.
It's not like we're going to throw a temper tantrum.

I'm sorry, alright?
I just wanted to have more followers,
that's why I came up with Mystery X,
but it was only supposed to be an online battle.
- So, Mystery X was fake all along?
- Yeah. But-- - Not cool, Dylan.
We supported you!
- Boo!
- Hey! Wait, wait, wait.
Dylan may have made a mistake
in how he created this whole thing,
but, um, tell me, were you not entertained?
- But it was all fake.
- Movies are fake, but you still watch them.
Dylan created a mini movie with two characters
battling it out using lyrics.
It was very Shakesperean if you think about it.
And you all loved it.
Instead of booing Dylan, you should be cheering him.
