The three girls left unimpressed and Brady gets mad at Boomer, saying that they always use seven.The class play dodge ball which they hate. In the locker room, the boys try to hurry to get dressed and they try to hide while the bully Rondo starts to bully them. Rondo hangs them on hooks and pants Brady then Boomer because Brady says that Boomer was the one being mouthy. Then Rondo leaves and Brady gets mad that Boomer borrows his clothes. Boomer says that Brady borrows his boxers and Brady replies that his boxers are dirty. Rondo runs back in saying that they better run. The twins think he's messing around with them. Mason and two royal guards come in the locker. The twins are scared, trying to run away but failing because they are on the locker doors. Mason tells the twins that they won't beat them up and says that they're there to bring them home. Brady thinks that the drama kids are messing with them. Later, Brady and Boomer are having a conversation about them being kings.
