It has every single rhyme
I've ever written.
[frustrated groan]
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
Don't worry, K. We'll help you find it.
Totally.
[dramatic music]
Nope. Not here.
[groans] It's not here.
Where is it?
[sighs]
-Huh.
-Huh?
Hm.
-Uh.
-Huh?
-Nothing.

Sorry, Karma. My fans are waiting.
[chuckles]
[annoyed] Oh!
I can't believe you, Crash! [sighs]
[Karma groans]
-Karma, wait.
-Wait up, K!
[sighs angrily]
Hmph!
[Crash] Come by the park after school.
I'm having a concert to perform
all my hottest rhymes.
You watch.
Crash is gonna be huge one day.
-You know it.
-[Carrie] Go, Crash.

Hey, you OK?
We saw Crash plagiarizing you.
It is not cool
to take someone else's words.
I just can't believe
he would lie like that.
[groans]
[muffled complaints]
Um, we can't hear you, K.
I said, now he's going to use my words
from my journal to become a huge rapper!
[groans angrily]
There's no way that's gonna happen.
Eventually Crash is gonna run out
of rhymes to take from your journal.
And remember how terrible he was
when he didn't have your words to rap?
Hm.

-Go, Crash! Go, Crash!
Yeah! Uh… Uh…
♪ You know I'm number one
The best rapper around ♪
♪ And my rhymes are cool like… ♪
Um… Uh…
A snowman?
-Wait, what? That doesn't rhyme.
-Boo!
Huh. I guess the only way he can
find a rhyme is if he takes it from me.
But you can always write more.
And he clearly can't.
I promise, you're gonna fill up
thousands of journals in your life
and Crash will still only have
the one he took.
[chuckles] Yeah, you're right.
I've gotta show Crash how it's done.
-Yeah! Awesome!
-Alright!
-Wait, where's she going?
-Mm-mm.
[grunts] Rap battle! It's rap battle time!

Oh, yeah.
I found this on the ground at school.
You should really be more careful

Mm-mm-mm. Not cool, dude.
[sighs]
I'm sorry I didn't give this
to you sooner.
I just wish I could rap like you.
