Let's talk to transformer special! Homestar fanfic/Episode 1

'''The Announcer announced, " Welcome to the worst annual Have Good Athletic Skills-itude Contest!" Homestar Runner and Strong Bad stood side by side at the track, glaring intensely at each other. "I hope you like dust, because you're about to eat a Chinese all-you-can-eat platter of it!" quipped Strong Bad. Homestar replied, "Well, I hope you like... um... not victory!" The umpire fired his starting gun and''' the two runners started off on their journey. Homestar and Strong Bad were so focused on their running, they were completely unaware of Strong Mad's approach on the track. He ran on ahead of them for half a mile and then slowed down. Strong Bad shouted, "You wanna be a part of this? Go ahead!" Homestar turned his head and looked at Strong Mad. The boy turned around and smiled at him with his best "I know where to find my brother

'''...Homeschool Winner! And he'll help me to countercheat your cheating tactics!" And so, Homestar ran off the track and left Strong Bad and Strong Mad to continue the race. "Can you believe that? More like... Homestar Blunder!" Strong Bad joked. Strong Mad replied, "I'M BLUNDER ONE!" The brothers were about to cross the finish line, but then''' Homestar suddenly disappeared!

The screen then showed Strong Bad and Homestar walking together, and Homestar said, "Strong Bad, you really did do it for me! Look, I can't take credit for all this, but..." Strong Bad, obviously amused, said, "You're gonna have to take that credit." Then he and Homestar left to find Strong Mad.

In a flash, a silhouette

'''appeared. It was the rejected one, Homeschool himself! He was holding a high-tech looking invention in his lack of arms and his eyes meant business. "Am I too late?" he asked. Strongbad was silent for a moment then replied, " Ummmm, yeah. The race is over. We're trying to find Strong Mad now." But, as they were about to leave, Homeschool aimed his invention at Strong bad. "Not so fast!" he said, "I'm not leaving without getting what I want, and what I want is''' a little girl!"

Strong Bad then replied, "So, you'll let us stay here then?"

Homeschool said, "I'm going to give Strong Bad the opportunity to make a real boy in a real world, and if he doesn't... I'm going to make him one of us

'''Strong Bad laughed. "I knew you was a creepy nerd, but I never knew you liked little girls!" Even Homestar also chuckled. " Now I remember why we never invite you to stuff." Strong Bad tapped his bro on the shoulder and said, "Take care of him, will ya brother Graw Mad?" Strong mad reached out with his TV-size fist, grabbed Homeschool around the collar and''' flung him into the wall. The sound of a pop-pop-pop was all that could be heard before the wall burst open. It was then that Homestar could see a face. It looked just like Strong Bad. He gasped and screamed, "No! Homestar's not that kind of guy!" Homestar said, "You don't know me Homestar! You don't know what it's like to have to hide who you really are!" Strong

'''Bad replied, "First of all... you forgot who you are again. And secondly, who is THAT?" and he pointed to the face that appeared behind the broken wall. Homestar looked back at it and said, "Oh, that's just my Strong Bad life-size cardboard cutout. I keep a bunch around my house to keep me company. " Strong Bad and Strong mad were then struck by the super jibblies, as they''' had been unable to keep up with their speedy speed.

Homestar asked, "Wait, do you think you can beat him with this thing?" and Strong Bad replied, "Oh, come on! I'll show you what a real Strong Bad looks like!"

At this point, Bubs got a call on his phone, which said, "Oh, hey! I was wondering when Homestar was going to answer!"

Bubs then said,

'''"My name Bubs! What's crackin, Homestar?" Homestar replied, "Nothing much! Just my hot girl summer!" Bubs answered, "It's almost winter. And you better get down to the track, it's almost day 2 of the Have Good Athletic Skills-itude Contest." Homestar jumped with surprise. "Oh my goodness grape-nuts! We gotta run!" He dropped the phone, and ran as fast as he could to the stadium to compete in the second event,''' "Sophie's Hurdles." "Oh no, no. Don't worry. They're on the schedule." Bubs reassured him, "But you'll just have to come back next year." Homestar answered with a worried sigh, "I don't have any money for another year, and I don't want to miss out on this contest." Bubs didn't seem to understand what Homestar was saying. "Well, you could pay your entry fee

'''at concession stand, not to forget the mandatory processing fee, shipping and handling, interest..." Homestar interrupted, "Didn't I drop this phone? How are you still talking? " Bubs answered, "I'm shouting from across the field!" He waved at Homestar from his concession stand in the distance.'''

Later that day, Homestar and Strong Bad were set to compete in Sophie's Hurdles, which is like normal hurdles, except that the course was made of cardboard and they were supposed to put on cardboard shoes and run on the cardboard shoes. The two were extremely frustrated by the lack of speed that the course gave them and so they decided to use their Homestar shorts as their shoes. They went through the course very quickly, but after failing to reach the finish line, they had the sudden urge to go in a different direction, so they proceeded to head in the opposite direction of where they wanted to go

'''and run backwards across the track! Homestar and Strong Bad ran the wrong direction with Homestar shorts around their ankles, confusing the crowd who expected to see a normal hurdle jump race. The Announcer announced, "I have no idea what's going on and i love it!" The finish line was in sight, Homestar and Strong Bad were neck and neck and''' they were almost there!

In a way, the race was a success because it was just a normal hurdle race. It was Homestar and Strong Bad competing to see who could make the jump the farthest, not necessarily as a means to a place in the top 3, but as a way to have fun and compete with each other. In this sense, it didn't really matter that they missed the top three spot because the point was that they had fun and competed with each other, rather than simply placing their foot on the ground and going home. That's what makes something truly great!

"Homestar Runner

'''is not only a terrific athlete, but I heard from a reputable source that everybody loves the him!" said Homestar. But Strong Bad had a different attitude. "How could we miss the top three spot?! We were the only two competing!" He added, "I call bull honkey on this whole race! I'll show you all, when I win the final event,''' I'll be the last one standing!"

The Grand Finals were held on the final day of Homestar's time machine. In the event's signature event, they played a "game of life," where Strong Bad's time machine went back in time, and sent him and the Cheat back in time. Homestar had two choices. He could either make it back to 2003 and get Strong Bad back in time, or he could go back to 2015, and get Strong Bad at his current age, where he would no longer be able to beat him. Homestar chose 2003. When the time machine's time-loop

'''was stabilized, Homestar set out to find his rival's past self. But little did he know, Strong Bad had also gone back in time, to hunt Homestar's past self as well! The younger Strong Bad was just about to begin his most famous email, "dragon", when Homestar burst into the room and''' handed him a stick.

"I thought I would get to see Homestar, or at least try to," said the younger Strong Bad, holding the stick out to Homestar.

Homestar stared at the stick in shock. It was a stick! This was clearly a new invention. Homestar took the stick, and read the first letter of each line aloud.

Strong Bad was Strong Bad. Homestar was Strong Bad.

The first letter read:

GIVE ME

THE STICK

It wasn't just Homestar who was surprised to hear the words

'''but the past Strong Bad was shocked as well. "Homestar, did you uproot The Stick! That's blasphemy, man!" Homestar gave Strong Bad the stick and replied, "I'm trying to win the competition! Now gimme that stick!"'''

'''Meanwhile, Strong Bad from the future was hunting for Homestar of the past. He snuck up behind an unsuspecting Homestar and''' stuck his foot into the time vortex. He got sucked out, but he then appeared on top of the time vortex, and stuck a foot in the time vortex, which is how he came to be stuck in time. He was then knocked out, and so he ran off. Strong Bad later reappeared and told Homestar, "Hey, I found Homestar in time, and he's really upset." Strong Bad then took out a sword to stab Homestar in

'''the gut. "I hate you, and you gunna get cut! Then I'll win the cometition for sure!" threatened Strong Bad. He swung his sword with all his might, but Homestar ducked at the last second. "Ooh! Find a penny pick it up!" said Homestar, as he picked a rusty bottlecap that he found. Strong Bad swung even harder, but Homestar caught the sword in his.... grip, and''' knocked the bottlecap out with his boot. Then he hit Strong Bad with his boot, knocking him back.

"You wanna fight? Okay!" yelled Homestar, and started to go around the ring.

Strong Bad was completely confused. He was holding a rusty bottlecap, a shoehorn, and a rusty sword.

"What the... why is this guy trying to fight me?" asked Homestar.

"Hey! Don't move

when I'm trying to skewer you with a rusty blade!" Strong bad swung his sword at Homestar again and again, but Homestar kept dodging, at least until the Homestar from the future walked in and hit him so hard that Homestar's shirt flew off.

"HOMESTAR! COME BACK! COME BACK!!" said Strong Bad. He ran over to the scene, and when he turned, he found that Strong Mad had come to his aid, and that Homestar was gone.

"What was that about?" asked Homestar. "Was that the last time I saw you, Strong Mad? Why aren't you here to help me? You told me about your plan, remember?"

"Why do you think I'm here, boy?" asked Strong Mad. "I've been away for so long, and I've been making so many friends that I think I've done enough. I think I'm ready for a break, and I

'''think this competition has gone too far! You two should return to the future right away!" Homestar answered, "Wow! when did you get so eloquent with words, Strong Mad?" Strong Mad grunted out, " I WANNA RIDE AN ELOQUENT!" seemingly forgetting what he had just explained. Homestar decided to return to his time machine and warp back to the present day, where''' the two of them were still sitting in Strong Mad's basement, drinking tea and playing video games. Strong Mad said, "You see, you really are too nice! And too eloquent!"

"Yeah! And that's why you won't be able to have that time machine."

"Hey, maybe we could have it anyway! I mean, I could have the secret ingredient in the future, you know, like some sort of super-expensive and super-powerful magic potion,

'''one that helps you win whatever competition you choose!" Homestar then jumps to his feet with a double take. "Oh, crap! I forgot the competition!" He then escaped from Strong Bad's house and returned to the stadium, where the audience was waiting impatiently for him. The Announcer cleared his throat, "Ahem. I would like to announce the winner of the three-day contest...'''the first prize of which is, of course, a new car...one that helps you win whatever competition you choose!"

As he finishes his sentence, a door opens and closes on Strong Bad. He looks inside, seeing two people in the background. Strong Bad turns around and yells "Oh my god! I'm sorry, it's just, I didn't realize you were here!" One of the two people answers back "Oh, you're right! I was just...

'''a background character. You should get to the track before they declare the winner." Strong Bad nodded and entered the stadium, standing next to Homestar Runner. The Announcer continued, " So, the winner, and recipient of this new car, is none other than''' the legendary Strong Bad! "

The "Movin' on Up" game for the Nintendo GameCube had a feature in which you could play a game called "Movin' on Up" using either the Nintendo Wii Remote or Wii Classic Controller. The two controls were similar to what Strong Bad used to use to play the game.

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People contained a scene where Strong Bad and the Homsar had to race to see who was faster, and both races ended
