The gang is at Stardust Lanes as Skips bowls a strike. "Man, Skips is on fire tonight. Another perfect game." Benson said. "We're going to the championship baby!" Mordecai said, and (Y/n) laughs. "Yeah, we are!" She said. "You guys wouldn't be so great if it wasn't for Skips." A man said. "Well, we can't help that he's just plain awesome, right Skips?" (Y/n) asked. "Hey, that's just how I roll." He said. "Ooooooooh!" (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Benson said. The group later are looking at the trophy. "There she is guys. Isn't she a beaut?" Benson asked. "I want that beaut." Rigby said with big eyes, and (Y/n) giggles. "So who are we up against?" Benson asked.

"Some team called the Magical Elements." Mordecai said. "The Magical what?" (Y/n) asked, raising an eyebrow. "The Magical Elements. Hm, hm, more like the Magical Loserments." Rigby said. "What did you say about us?" A familiar voice asked. (Y/n)'s eyes widen as she remembered that voice. She quickly turns around. "Death?!" (Y/n) asked. "That's right, and it's nice to see you again, gorgeous." He said. (Y/n) blenches at that, and her best friends glare at him. "Leave the kid alone, Death." Skips said. "So, you blokes must be the Park Strikers.

If you ask me, you're in for quite a beatdown." Death said. "Yes, our team has stood undefeated for thousands of years. No mortal stands a chance against the Magical Elements." The guardian said. "We may be mortal, but at least we have the intelligence to come up with original insults." (Y/n) said. "What did you just say? I'd watch my mouth if I were you, kid." Death said. "Ignore her, Death, these guys are out of their element for even being here." Gary said. "Well, I guess that makes you the expert on being out of your element." (Y/n) snarked. "Yeah!

You're out of your element. You and your lame matching uniforms. I bet those aren't even..." Gary makes Rigby's mouth go away. "Hey! Give Rigby his mouth back you jerk!" (Y/n) shouted. She's then lifted into the air and yelps. "(Y/n)!" Her friends shouted. "Put her down! Now!" Benson shouted. "Hey, what did I tell you guys about using magic? Do you want to be in this league, well then no magic stuff alright?" The manager asked. Death's team look disappointed and Gary makes Rigby's mouth reappear and drops (Y/n). Her best friends catch her and send death glares to the team.

"You okay?" Mordecai asked as he and Rigby help her up. "Yeah..." she said. "You'll pay for that!" Rigby growled. "No matter, magic or not, we're still gonna beat you chumps." Death said. "Well, that's just your opinion, Death." Skips said. "No, its a fact: get used to it!" Death said. "Get used to this. We're gonna rub those trophies in your face, right after we rub these bowling bags in your face." Rigby said. "Ooooooooh!" (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Benson said, and Death growls. Later the group is at Giorgio's Tower of Pizza. "Who would of thought that a mandatory team building activity would get us to the championship." Benson said.

"Thanks to my power hook." Mordecai said. "No way! Thanks to my atomic fireball!" Rigby said, and (Y/n) giggles. "And because of my backup ball." Benson laughs. "Who are we kidding? Our team would suck without this guy." Benson said. "Yeah-yuh! With Skips, we got the Magical Elements beat." (Y/n) said. "To Skips, the only reason we're gonna win." Benson said. "Alright guys, I'll be back." Skips leaves the table. Soon a waiter arrives with their pizza and sets it down. "Ok, we got a carnivore deluxe here." He said. "Oh yeah, yeah!" Rigby said. "Finally!" Benson said. Meanwhile Skips washing his hands in the bathroom and hears Death laughing.

"I know it's you, Death." Death comes out of a stall. "Ello, Skips." Death said. "What do you want? I gotta get back to dinner with my friends." Skips said. "Aw, yes. Friends. Tell me, Skips, these friends - they idolize you yeah?" Death asked. "Nah nah, it's respect." Skips said. "I wouldn't respect the Skips I know." Death said. "What are you talking about?" Skips asked. "You know that I know that you've been lying to them for a long time. We wouldn't want our little secret to come out now would we?" Death asked. "Death, that's not who I am anymore. If that secret came out, it could ruin me." Skips said. "Yeah, I guess it could. Sit the game out and I won't tell. Think it over." Back at the park house, (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Benson are in the living room.

"First on the agenda is trophy talk." Benson pulls the paper away revealing a chart of what days each of the guys have the trophy. "Who gets the trophy on what day. I think the schedule is more than fair." Benson said. "Uh... shouldn't Skips just keep the trophy since he's the one doing all the work?" (Y/n) asked. As if on cue, Skips comes into the living room. "Oh, perfect timing." Benson said. "Look, I've got something to say." Skips puts his bowling shirt on the table. "I can't play in the tournament." He said. "What?!" (Y/n) asked in shock. "Why?" Mordecai asked. "Yeah, what's going on, Skips?" (Y/n) asked. "I, I just can't. Sorry." He said.

"Ok. Next on the agenda, losing and how to deal with it, because we're gonna lose." Benson said as he erases the paper and writes losing on it. "Benson!" (Y/n) scolds. "What? Do you have any better ideas?" He asked. "I'm cool with forfeiting." Mordecai said. "No! We can't!" Rigby shouted. "It's just a trophy." Benson said. "That trophy is more than just a trophy. We can't let Death win. Skips isn't the team. We are. The past. That was Skips' time. Skips' time. Now, it's our time! Our time! Sure, this is a setback. But that just means we got to train harder!

Are we gonna win that trophy?" Rigby asked. "Yeah!" The trio said. "Are we gonna wipe that smug look off of Death's face?" Rigby asked. "Yeah!" The three said again. "Ok, who are we gonna get to replace Skips?" Benson asked. Later back at Stardust Lanes, Pops bowls the bowling ball and knocks out one pin. "Yay! One pin, one pin!" Pops said. "We're dead." (Y/n) said. "Well, if it isn't the Park Strikers.

Hey, what happened to Skips?" Death taunted. Pops is seen laughing and doing the worm. "Oh, that's not Skips. Just some bloke with a fat head." He laughs and Rigby looks worried and (Y/n) glares. "His name is Pops, stop insulting my friends, Death." She growled. "What are you gonna do about it?" Death taunts, and (Y/n) growls. "Oh, Rigby, don't forget about our little wager. Good day, gents." Death said. "Rigby, what is he talking about?" Mordecai asked. "Uh..."

~Flashback~

"Ohhhhh!!!" (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson said. (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, and Skips all walk out of Stardust Bowling Alley until Rigby remembers he forgot his towel. "Oh man! I forgot my bowling towel." Rigby goes inside to retrieve his bowling towel with "RIGBONE" embroidered on it. He then sees the Magical Elements. He was still pissed for what they did to (Y/n) so decided to get payback. "You know, you guys shouldn't even show up tomorrow, because there is no way you can win." Rigby said. The Guardian attempts to kill him, but the rest of the team hold him back.

"Calm down, calm down, I got this." Death said. He then faces Rigby. "You seem pretty sure of yourself, so how about a wager? Your team's souls for these souls?" Death pulls out a "Soul Ball", which is a glowing green bowling ball filled with ghostly, white souls. Rigby is fascinated by it. "Whoaaaaa. Soul ball! I can rub that in so many people's faces. Add one more and you got yourself a deal." Rigby said, and Death looked shocked. "What?!" He asked. "What you did to (Y/n) was uncool, dude! So if we win you have to give her one, too." Rigby demanded, and Death smirks.

"Oh, I see. You've got a little crush on that chipmunk don't you?" He asked. Rigby's eyes widen and he blushes a bit, and the team snickers, he glares at them and his blush quickly vanishes. "First of all, no! Don't misunderstand my relationship with (Y/n)! She's my best friend. So do we have a deal or not?" He demanded, glaring, and Death smirks. "Alright, deal." Rigby and Death shake hands on it. The wager is now in effect. "Rigby! YOU BET OUR SOULS?!" (Y/n) shouted furiously. Mordecai punches Rigby hard in the shoulder for his thoughtless actions.

"OW! But it had souls in it!" Mordecai punches Rigby again. "Aaaah! I'm sorry. With Skips on our team, we were guaranteed to win! But after he quit, I was too embarrassed to tell you about the bet. But hey, now you know, right?" Mordecai punches Rigby for the third time. This time, harder. "OWWWW!!!" "Alright, alright, enough!" (Y/n) shouted, startling everyone. "We gotta get Skips back." She said. The group pull up into Skips' driveway. The gang gets out, and Benson starts pounding on the door. "Skips! Skips!" Benson shouted. "Look, it's a note!"

Pops points to a yellow note on the WELCOME mat in the front of the door. "Dear, Park Strikers. Something from my past has come back to me to haunt me, and I'm rethinking my life. I'm going... ..to where the road takes me now. You might not see me for awhile. Sorry for letting you down." Benson read. "Your friend, Skips." Benson said. "What are we going to do now?" Rigby asked. "There is only one thing we can do! Kiss our souls goodbye." Benson said. The gang go to Benson's station wagon, all looking very depressed. "So, we're all feeling a bit abandoned. Do you know what would help? Some tunes." Benson said. Benson goes to turn the dial on the radio station. Unfortunately, it is playing sad music. "Oh!" (Y/n) face palms by putting both paws on her face and Benson looks at her in concern and pats her back for comfort.

They drive through town with death-related signs around them. In the forest, Skips is shown burning old bowling memorabilia. Meanwhile, back at the Stardust Lanes, the Park Strikers are sad, with the Magical Elements right beside them on top of their van with people cheering below them. Back at the forest, Skips is shown looking at old bowling photos. At the Stardust Lanes,

the Park Strikers walk in sad, with Muscle Man eating chips, while HFG floats right by him, then the Park Strikers meet with the Magical Elements, looking at the Park Strikers confidently. Back at the forest, Skips continues looking at old bowling photos. When he sees a note from the rest of the team thanking him for never letting them down, his eyes filled with tears. Back at the bowling alley the Park Strikers look sad and scared while

The Magical Elements prepare to win. "We're live at the Stardust Lanes for the final game of the tournament: Park Strikers versus Magical Elements. Tonight the Strikers are not only playing for that trophy - they're playing for their souls. Ha ha ha! Benson of the Strikers is up." The announcer said. " Come on, come on. You can get this." Benson said. "He needs that spare." The announcer said. "Oi, Benson!" The Magical Elements join in. "Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke!"

Benson hits just five of the remaining nine pins and sighs. Death roughly pushes him out of the way and bowls a strike. "Ho ho! Holy cow! That's another strike for the Magical Elements by Death - and another doozy for the Park Strikers, who are off to a rough start." The announcer said. "You're up, Pops." (Y/n) said. "Oh, time to bid my soul adieu." Pops said. "Wait - look!" Rigby said. On the score monitor a large arm appears and rubs out the name "POPS", writing "SKIPS" in its place. "Skips!" The team said. Skips bowls a perfect strike and the Park Strikers cheer.

"That's it!!!" Death grabs the Soul Ball. "Time to kick that up a notch!" "Hey, what'd I say about using magic—!?!?" The Bowling Manager is collapsed into nothing by Gary's magic. Death throws the Soul Ball at the Park Strikers - they dodge it and it swerves onto the lane before hitting another strike, breaking the pins. "Top that, losers." Death said, and (Y/n) growls.

"Let's bowl." Skips said. The Park Strikers bowl fairly and the Magical Elements use magic tricks to win while the crowd cheers. The Magical Elements even use magic to prevent the Park Strikers from scoring. "And we're down to the final frame, folks - the two teams are neck and neck. The Park Strikers are just one strike away from victory." The announcer said. The Guardian, Gary, and the Wizard are prepared to use their spells on the Park Strikers.

"Wait, you guys. I've got this." Death walks to Skips. "Remember our little convo, Skips? Shall I tell 'em your secret?" He asked. "Secret? What secret?" Mordecai said. "What does he mean, Skips?" Benson asked. There's a long pause. "My friends' souls are more important than my secret. You wanna tell 'em my real name isn't Skips? Go ahead." Skips bowls straight down the lane. The Magical Elements try to destroy the lane - and the alley -

with their spells, but Skips' ball hits the last pin and a strike is scored. "Yay!" Pops said. "Yeah!" Rigby and Benson said. "Whoo hoo!" (Y/n) cheered. The crowd and Park Strikers cheer. "Against all odds the Strikers win it! Yeah!" The announcer said. Death grunts. "Ha! In your face, cheaters!" (Y/n) shouted. "And I believe you owe me and (Y/n) a soul ball!" Rigby said. Death throws the ball at Rigby's stomach, then one to (Y/n) who catches it. "Take them. I've got a billion just like em. I can wait for a few more. Magical Elements - out." The Magical Elements spontaneously combust and the crowd rushes out to the lanes.

The announcer presents the Park Strikers with the trophy. "Strikers, strike a pose!" A photographer said. Later in Benson's car, Rigby is tapping the soul ball, which roars quietly when he does so. "Cool. This thing totally rules!" He said. "Yeah, it does!" Mordecai said. "It is pretty cool." (Y/n) said. "Right?" Rigby asked in agreement, smiling at her. "Skips, I don't mean to pry but why did you change your name to Skips?" Benson asked. "Eh, I just got tired of people asking me why my name was Walks when I always skipped." Skips said. "So why do you skip?" (Y/n) asked. "Yeah, why do you do that?" Rigby asked. "Ha ha! Yeah, I've been wondering that." Mordecai said. " Y'know, I think you guys have heard enough secrets for one night." He replied. "Aw!" Everyone said.
