After signing up for the contest, Chris was in his studio, trying to pick a song. "Hmm. What to pick, what to pick." said Chris. Then Porsha enters. "Hey babe. Still looking for a song?" asked Porsha. "Yeah. Still nothing." said Chris as he sighed. He then felt Porsha hug him from behind and her head on his shoulder. "Don't stress. You can think of something." said Porsha. Then they heard their doorbell ring. "Oh visitors!" said Porsha as they got out of bed and approached the door. They open it and see Meena, Ash, Nooshy and Johnny on the door. "Hey guys!" said all. "Guys! Come on in!" said Chris. "So Chris, we heard that you plan on competing in that karaoke contest at the Pizzeria." said Ash. "Yeah. It's my favorite place to go. I used to work there for 2 years." said Chris. "The winner not only becomes the Pizza Karaoke King but also gets free pizza for a whole year." said Porsha as everyone was surprised. "Free pizza? That's a great prize!" said Nooshy. "Agreed. That sounds fascinating! Maybe you can share the pizza with us?" asked Johnny. "Sure! Me and Porsha can't have the pizza ourselves." said Chris. "So do you know your opponent for the contest?" asked Meena. "Don't know yet. But surely my opponent would be trying his very best and we have respect for each other." said Chris. Then his phone rang and answered. "Hello? Oh hey Bill! What's up?" asked Chris. His face went from normal to disbelief. "You can't be serious. Fine, I'll be there soon." said Chris as he hung up. "What's wrong, Chris?" asked Meena. "A familiar face is at the joint." said Chris. "A familiar face?" asked Meena as she realized who he was talking about. "Trent." said both. "Wait. Who's Trent?" asked Nooshy. "He's an old classmate from elementary school. He used to bully Meena until I stepped in and protected her." said Chris. "He sounds like a jerk." said Ash. "Why did he bully you?" asked Porsha. "I don't know. Probably I was silent and shy back then." said Meena. "Anyway, Bill wants us to come by to the place." said Chris as they headed to the Pizzeria. Meanwhile at the Pizzeria. "Seriously, dude. You're not gonna win this contest. Chris is great and really talented." said Jessie. "You'll see. I have my ways." said a leopard. "Well, if it ain't Trent?" said Chris as Trent turned to him. "Well look who we have here. Chris himself is here along with Ms. Shy Girl over here." said Trent as Meena covered her face with her ears. "What are you doing here, Trent?" asked Chris. "Haven't you heard? I'm participating in this contest after hearing someone dropped by and signed up for it." said Trent. "Since when did you become a singer?" asked Chris. "For a while now. I've learned a few lessons. What do you say me and you, one on one? Unless you know...your afraid." said Trent as Chris slowly looks back at the others, who nod at him. He then faces Trent. "You're on, Trent." said Chris. "Alright. How about we make this interesting? The loser...admits to the winner and everyone else that he is a better singer and pays for the bill for the pizzas for a month. What do you say?" said Trent as he held out his hand. Chris smiled with confidence and shook his hand. "Deal." said Chris. Soon, the contest started. The crowd cheered as Chris and Trent stared at each other. Soon, the contest began. Trent went first and he actually sang pretty good but the song was a bit insulting towards Chris as he sang the song Chicken, thinking he was gonna chicken out on the bet. After he sang, the crowd let out a cheer. "Top that." said Trent. Chris sweats a little as he looks at Porsha. "You got this." mouthed Porsha. Chris took a deep breath and sang the song "Come and Go"

Everyone danced along with the vibes. After the song, everyone cheered loudly, signaling Chris's victory. "And it seems we have a winner!" said Bill as everyone cheered. Chris then approaches Trent. "A deal's a deal, Trent." said Chris as Trent sighed. "A deal's a deal. Chris is the better singer than me." said Trent. As agreed, Trent has to pay their bills for the pizza. "This is really good pizza." said Ash as she ate her pizza. "This will be my place for lunch from here on out." said Nooshy as everyone nodded in agreement. "All hail the Pizza King!" said all as Chris laughed and smiled. Chris and Porsha then return to home. "So...what should we do now?" asked Chris as Porsha smiled. "Why don't we take this to bed?" asked Porsha as she gave Chris a passionate kiss and leads him to their room as the door closes.
