Emergency Spew Relish
Andy is flying on a thirty-six seater plane to Mildura by himself to visit his grandparents. Before take-off, he puts a piece of rubber dog dung on the seat next to him, for he likes to sit alone on the craft with his feet on the other seat. However, a blind old lady sits next to Andy anyway, after which he tries to get rid of her, not knowing that she's blind. To get the lady out of the seat next him, Andy grabs some of his special "emergency corn relish" and puts it into his mouth, pretending that he is going to be sick and spits out all the corn relish into an air sickness bag, next pretending to think that his "spew" tastes really good to disgust the lady, which quite oddly, she doesn't mind. Soon, after numerous attempts to drive the blind lady to another seat, Andy finally discovers the old lady is blind and tells her that he's going to be sick again.
Beat the Bomb!

Using special equipment to mimic the game, Andy and Danny decide to get a prank victim, Martin Bonwick, to play Beat the Bomb and he does, in which he wins $500 afterwards and soon confessing that he needed the money badly, due to the fact his family has been struggling since his father died a couple of years ago. Later in the story, the Triple B DJ rings Andy and Danny, worrying that Marvin might have called the station to see if the call was legit, but Andy and Danny are relieved when they are invited to play the real "Beat the Bomb" on the radio now, in which Andy wins $502 and gets to listen to John Farnham afterward despite hating his music. Soon, Andy has second thoughts about the prank he played on Martin and decides to give $500 to him like Andy promised, splitting the remaining $2 between himself and Danny.
Born to Die

While his ex-enemies make the shake, Andy channel surfs, eventually settling on Play School . After watching more of the program, he finally receives his milkshake, after which Lik and Leech want to watch Andy drink, while showing them tattoos similar to Andy's. At the end of the story, Leech claims that they used slugs instead of chocolate syrup to make the milkshake.
Invisipills

To stop Danny bragging and get him out of the library so he can work alone afterwards, Andy pulls out a tube of fictional round candy balls, which he claims are "invisipills", and can actually make people invisible, offering one to Danny. Once he is "invisible", unaware that he is actually not, Danny causes severe havoc around the library, during which Andy's lollies are confiscated by Mrs. Wharton, the school librarian, who later "ceases" Danny's antics by twisting his ear. Afterwards, the duo are thrown out of the library and sent to the principal's office, in which during the walk there, Danny, unfortunately, actually does turn invisible now, which possesses Andy to head straight to the sick bay.

On Christmas Eve, Andy has a dream about a mutant Santa Claus that gives him a rotten potato to eat as punishment for the cruel trick. Over the next few days, Andy fears that Jen will be friendless for the rest of her life, and decides to risk life and limb to confess, only to discover that all of Jen's friends loved the mutant Santas and that Jen is keeping the prank a secret.
