The doors to the recently opened East Side Express open as the Miracle Clinic members and Aken Amnestor enter. The store is filled with several aisles of used clothes and metal wire shelving units filled with antique artifacts. One of them that catches Ronnie's attention is a collection of old custom drink glasses with custom prints of classic movies on them. However, Ronnie decides to leave them behind as they continue to scan the store.

"Doesn't look like anyone's here," Elizabeth remarks as she picks up a pair of some old aviators and tries them on.

The group scans the whole area but alas, there's nobody there. But just when they're about to give up...

"You are the dancing queen!~"

The group all looks to see the employee-only doors burst open as Blanko Deck, rocking a blue apron over his white-n-black striped hoodie, slides into the main area of the store wielding a mop and a bucket. He has some large wired headphones that are connected to an ipod which is blaring a 'Best of Disco' playlist.

"Young and sweet, only seventeen!" Blanko sings along to the lyrics as he mops around the floor.

Blanko then, using the mop handle as a microphone, does a disco pelvic point dance as he continues to see, "Dancing queen! Feel the beat from the tambou-"

Blanko finally spots that there are customers in the store causing him to quickly die of embarrassment as he stops his playlist.

"I'm so sorry, how can I help yo-" Blanko begins to say before recognizing some of the faces that are in the store.

The club looks at Blanko.

Blanko looks at the club.

The club looks at Blanko.

Blanko quickly makes a dash for the Employee's Only Door as Ronnie, Alex, & Elizabeth all chase after him. Blanko reaches the door and enters the other room, however before he can slam it shut, Elizabeth kicks the door down.

"I'd like to make a purchase," Elizabeth exclaims as she is still wearing the aviators.

"Just keep them, we're closed!" Blanko says as he continues to run away.

Alex looks to see that Blanko is running down the stairs in the employee's only room to a metal door. Alex runs after him and Blanko goes to grab the door, he manages to open it before Alex tackles him into the room.

As Alex & Blanko fall to the ground, the rest of the club & Amnestor enter the room.

"Get! Off of me!" Blanko yells as he kicks Alex in the face causing him to let go and back up.

Ronnie notices that they're in a huge underground storage room with another door at the back.

"It looks like the others are gonna be behind that door," Ronnie says.

"Alright then, let me handle this guy," Alex begins to say, however Amnestor starts to walk forward.

"I'm very displeased with you all," Amnestor begins to say as he makes his way forward, "Here I thought you were trying to further your education. But it looks to me what you were really trying to do was get into a fight."

"Whaaat? We would never," Ronnie tries to say.

"Didn't know how you guys found us," Blanko remarks, "But I'll beat all you chumps so badly that you'll wish you never did!"

"I don't quite get the full picture as to what's going on here," Amnestor remarks as he steps closer towards Blanko, "But it seems like you need to receive some proper education. So let me teach you all that there's other ways to solve your problems besides fighting."
