A/N: Well, as much as I hate to say it, this is the last chapter of the fic…but that doesn't mean that it's an end to the insanity! By the way, I had to watch the "Trashin' the Camp" scene about 100 times on Youtube to get the images and the lyrics right! Anyway, the songs in this chapter are called "Find Your Voice," from The Fairly OddParents, and "The Llama Song". During "Find Your Voice", the bold part is Ned singing, the italicized part is Jojo singing, and the bold italics are both singing together. Well, on with the insanity!
Disclaimer: I own nothing except Dr. Larue's formula thing, and my own characters, Eric and Silvia.

With the song finally over, the Whos proceeded to gather up the objects they had brought out. This included, in some cases, picking up the pieces to what had been destroyed.
"Mom?" Haley asked curiously as everyone finally stopped singing, "did you catch Jojo's disease too?"
Sally shifted the pots and pans she was carrying so they didn't fall to the ground. "Haley, your brother doesn't have a disease. And I was just joining in to get back some of our stuff."
"Are you kidding, Sally?!" Ned asked, smiling as he looked over at Jojo. "That was fun!"
Sally gave her husband an exasperated sigh. "Ned, I know you're having fun with this, but we need to get Jojo back to normal somehow."
Ned laughed slightly, and then let the goofy grin on his face dissipate. Sally was right. As much fun as Jojo was having, it was getting to the point where he was being destructive.
"Dr. Larue," Haley ran up to the scientist with a hopeful expression on her face, "have you created a cure for Jojo's hyperness?"
Dr. Larue shook her head. "I haven't been able to create a formula that will get him back to normal."
"What?!" Lucy exclaimed, having turned off her video camera, "you mean we're going to be stuck with crazy, hyper, insane Jojo forever?!"
"I didn't say that." Dr. Larue smiled, but it was more of a nervous smile. "The only way we could get him to return to his old self," she went on, "is if we did something that connects to both his old and new personalities."
"But how are we going to – " Haley started to say before stopping herself. It was almost as if a bulb had lit up over her head like in those cartoons. "I've got it!" She turned to her parents and Dr. Larue with an excited glance. "What's one thing that Jojo likes, even in his hyper state? Music!"
"Haley," Ned said with a confused look on his face, "I don't see where you're going with – " Ned never finished his sentence, for he had the "light-bulb effect" too. "I've got an idea!"
--
"Hey, Jojo!"
"Yeah, Dad?" Jojo responded, still having that wild-eyed expression on his face as he jumped all over Whoville Square's fountain. "You have got to try this! It's so fun!"
Ned ran up to his son, grinning. "Come on, I've got something even more fun than that!"
"Oh boy!" Jojo exclaimed, doing a perfectly executed summersault off the fountain with a crazy, wild laugh. "What is it?!" He bounced around his dad in anticipation as if he were a hyper rabbit. "Is it seeing who can run across Whoville the fastest? I bet I'd win, I feel as if I could run to the observatory and back in about 3 seconds!" He ran around crazily as if to prove his point. "Tell me, tell me! Please?!"
Ned laughed, smiling at his son's enthusiasm. "It's a surprise!"
"Well then what are we waiting around here for?!" Jojo exclaimed, staring at his dad as if his head had turned into a fly. He tugged on his dad's arm in a way that reminded Ned of Jojo wanting to open Christmas presents when he was younger. "Where is it?! What is it?! I need to know!"
Ned smiled gently at his son, leading him. "It's over this way."
Jojo grinned and started singing another song while jumping on various items on the way.
Here's a llama, there's a llama,
And another little llama.
Fuzzy llama, funny llama,
Llama, llama, duck!
Llama, llama, cheesecake, llama,
Tablet, brick, potato, llama,
Llama, llama, mushroom, llama,
Llama, llama, duck!
I was once a treehouse,
I lived in a cake!
But I never saw the way,
the orange slayed the rake!
I was only three years dead,
But it told a tale.
And now listen, little child,
To the safety rail!
Did you ever see a llama,
Kiss a llama, on the llama,
Llama's llama, tastes of llama,
Llama, llama, duck!
Half a llama, twice the llama,
Not a llama, farmer, llama,
Llama in a car, alarm a llama,
Llama, duck!
Is that how it's told now?
Is it all so old?
Is it made of lemon juice?
Doorknob, ankle, cold!
Now my song is getting thin,
I've run out of luck!
Time for me to retire now,
And become a duck!
"QUACK!" Jojo exclaimed at the end, grinning up at his dad crazily.
Ned, who had been listening to the song as he led Jojo to the surprise, couldn't help laughing out loud. "Jojo, where'd you learn that?"
"It was on this video on Whotube," Jojo exclaimed, "I added the 'QUACK' part myself though!"
Ned laughed again. "You've got to show me that sometime!" His expression turned a little more serious. "Jojo. We're there."
Jojo looked around excitedly "Really?! Where?!" Suddenly, he saw it: a large stage, with bright spotlights shining down on it. "Wow! Is that the surprise?!"
Ned nodded affirmatively. "Now, come on, son!"
Jojo watched with excitement as his dad sprang up onto the stage. The music started and, with everyone watching, Ned started to sing.
When no one will listen,
To what you want to say.
You're too small, too young,
You haven't begun,
To learn the games that they play.
Don't sit around just wishin'
For it to be a better day!
Speak up, be heard, if you don't say a word,
Everything will stay the same way!
If you want to change the way your life's arranged,
Then you have that choice,
To be the star, that you know you are,
Be loud, be proud, and rejoice!
And find your voice!
Just find your voice!
You know you got that choice!
Now go find your voice!
Jojo's eyes widened in excitement. He knew this song! He ran up to the stage, jumping on it and getting his turn with the microphone. He gave his friends Eric and Silvia a smile as he started to sing the next part.
You see a girl,
That you know you want to meet!
C'mon, stop messing around,
Get up off your feet!
She might see inside of you,
The boy you never knew!
He was in there all the time,
Now just let him through!
If you want to change the way your life's arranged,
Then you have that choice,
To be the star, that you know you are,
Be loud, be proud, and rejoice!
And find your voice!
Just find your voice!
You know you got that choice!
Now go find your voice!
It was at that point that Ned noticed something: the wild, hyper, crazy look in Jojo's eyes was gone. Jojo, through the powerful effect of music, and how much that song spoke to him, had finally gotten back to normal. Grinning in delight at his dad, Jojo nodded as they both started singing together.
Where could it be now?
Find your voice!
Now just find your voice!
(Anybody seen it?)
You got that choice!
(Got that choice!)
Now find your voice!
(Come on and find your voice!)
Find your voice!
Just find your voice!
(Do do, duh da da!)
You got that choice!
Gotta find your voice now!
Find your, find your, voice!
Jojo and his dad smiled as they hugged one another, everyone applauding at their performance.
"Come on, Jojo," Ned said, ruffling his son's black hair, "I think it's about time we went back home!"

"I'm glad you're finally back to normal, Jojo!" Haley said in relief back at the house, "I was practically going insane with you going insane!" She sat down on the couch next to her brother.
Jojo laughed. "Honestly, I can't believe I did that either. Note to self: never drink anything Helen gives me!"
Lucy came into the room with a mischievous look on her face, directed at Jojo.
Jojo looked at her and frowned. "What's with the face?"
"Well, I have to tell you," Lucy said with a smile at Haley, "your crazy antics did give me hilarious video footage!"
Jojo stared at her in shock. "WHAT?!"
Lucy laughed at her brother's reaction. "I filmed everything! You're crazyness in the house, what you did with all that stuff in Whoville, when you did the whole concert thing, even when you sang the Llama Song!"
"But only dad was there when I sang that!" Jojo protested.
"I was there too, I just followed you!" Lucy laughed and held up a tape. "I got it all on tape!"
Jojo glared. "Give me that tape, now!"
"Oh," Haley laughed, "we don't need the tape anymore!"
"What are you – " Jojo started, but stopped. He looked from Haley to Lucy, and his eyes narrowed. "No. You didn't!"
"We put it on Whotube!" Lucy and Haley said at the same time.
Jojo leaped up from the couch it outrage. "I'm going to KILL you for that!"
Haley and Lucy ran out of the room as Jojo ran after them. Despite the fact that Jojo was smaller, Haley and Lucy both knew that their brother was strong and fast.
Lucy turned to Haley as they ran. "Do you think we could get a formula from Dr. Larue to stop him being mad at us?"
Haley shook her head. "Don't count on it."

A/N: Well, there you go! That's the end of the – oh, wait! There's still one more thing…

Epilouge
Jojo checked the clock in the kitchen. 11:40pm. Everyone should be asleep by now, he thought to himself. He started singing.
I'm so very special, 'cause there's only one of me!
Happy good, anger bad, that's my philosophy!
I am happy! I am good! I am – "
Jojo suddenly stopped singing and turned around, noticing his mom standing in the doorway of the kitchen. Startled, he quickly spoke out. "I am…I am out of here!" He quickly hurried out of the kitchen and ran up to his room.
Sally turned her gaze toward Jojo's room as she shook her head and sighed. It had seemed that Jojo had gone back to normal.
But suddenly she remembered a quote from an old TV show: With every formula, there are aftereffects.

A/N: Okay, now it's REALLY the end! It seems like Jojo didn't quite go all the way back to normal, huh? In case you're wondering, yes, I am making a sequal to this! Hope you enjoyed! Read and review!
