{A/N: Skipping to 'Mystery Meat' since I don't see Aria's presence having any significant changes in the other episode}

Aria's POV:

April & I dash through her high school's cafeteria to talk to Dad about an urgent matter.

April: "Baron Draxum, we have a code red!"

Dad: "Bah, bah, bah, I'm dealing with a situation, O'Neil.-*to Dale*-Dale, pick up that napkin."

Dale: "It's not mine."

Dad glares as he summons a mystic vine to drag Dale across the ground toward the napkin.

Dale: "Ok, ok! Mommy!"

Dale goes to throw away the napkin, but Dad swats his hand away with the vine.

Dad: "Recycling!"

Me: "Dad, you promised not to use your Yokai powers in front of people."

Dad: "But it makes things so much more efficient. Why shouldn't I?"

April: "Because of this letter I found in your mailbox."

Dad: *puts on reading glasses* "Ah, my mailbox. What is a mailbox?-*reads letter aloud*-The Lunch Lady Association is honored to declare Barry Draxum Lunch Person of the Month for his excellence in lunchroomery."

Me: "And the superintendent of lunchrooms, Vivian Slopworth, is coming today to present your award."

Dad: "This is marvelous! It's about time the human worms show the great Baron Draxum the respect he commands!"

April: "No, this is bad! Do you wanna blow your cover? Because that's what's gonna happen when Slopworth sees how you run things."

Dad: "What is wrong with how I run things?"

Dad leads April & me into the kitchen, where his vines and a group of mutant silverfish have infested the room.

Draxum: "I find this warm, moist ecosystem really keeps the baloney soft."

April: "Uh oh, if the big boss sees this mystic stuff, you're outta here. We need help."

April calls up Mikey via video chat.

April: "Mikey, we have a code double red. The superintendent of lunchrooms is coming to tour Draxum's kitchen."

Mikey: "I can't hear you, April. I'm saving New York."

Me: "It looks like you & Raph are go-karting."

Mikey: "I'm not go-karting, and I still can't hear you."

Raph crashes into Mikey from behind as the video feed cuts off.

April: "Ok, we have got to clean this up before Slopworth gets here."

Dad: "You mean her?"

Dad holds up a mystic charm that shows Vivian Slopworth entering the cafeteria.

Me: "Ok, Dad, you keep her busy, and we'll handle this whole situation.

Dad: "Got it."

Dad exits the cafeteria as April & I turn to one of the mutant silverfish.
