Summary
Upon learning about a secret menu at Up-N-Down Chicken, the kids decide to go to extreme lengths to get it.

Story
One afternoon in Piperville at Up-N-Down Chicken, Shimmer, Shine, and their parents were ordering their lunch from the owner, Mr. Eugene Krabs.

"Welcome to Up-N-Down Chicken", Mr. Krabs said, "how may I take your order?"

"I'll have that Cheetos chicken sandwich, please", Shimmer said.

"Same here", Shine said.

"And me and my wife will share a 10-piece grilled meal, please", Dr. Aljunni said.

"Excellent", Mr. Krabs said, "and that comes with four of our new Cinnabon dessert biscuits for free."

"Thank you", Dr. Aljunni said.

Dr. Aljunni paid Mr. Krabs, and he and his family sat down to eat lunch.

"This Cheetos sandwich is so good", Shimmer said.

"Yeah", Shine said, "it's so cheesy and crunchy."

"I'm glad it's limited time", Dr. Aljunni said, "it doesn't look very good to me."

"And on top of that, the commercials for it were just freaky", Mrs. Aljunni said.

After Shimmer and Shine finished their sandwiches and each had a dessert biscuit, they went into the indoor playground to play, and found the others there.

"Hey, guys", Shimmer said, "what'cha doin'?"

"We were just discussing the secret menu", Tracker said.

The two genies were immediately interested in this.

"Secret menu", Shine asked.

"Yeah", Blaze said, "all the big fast food places have them."

"According to legend, you can't order the most secret item on the Up-N-Down Chicken secret menu unless you know it's name", Molly said.

"So, we'll just look it up on the internet", Shimmer said.

"Well, it's not that simple", Tracker said, "you see, if you're told the name of the secret item, you must swear not to tell anyone its name, or else."

"Or else what", Shimmer asked.

"You know", Tracker said.

Tracker slid his finger across his throat to demonstrate to them.

"Oh, come on", Shine said, "no one would be insane enough to do that over a secret."

"Don't be so sure", Molly said.

"We've been trying to figure out the name of the secret menu item for a week", Nonny said, "no avail."

"Well, there's one thing we could try", Shimmer said.

Later that day, the kids were speaking with Eugene Krabs.

"Raider Of The Lost Hunger", Shimmer said.

"No", Mr. Krabs said.

"The Temple Of Satisfaction", Shine said.

"Nuh-uh", Mr. Krabs said.

"The Last Tender", Tracker said.

"Nope", Mr. Krabs said.

"Kingdom Of The Crispy Chicken", Molly said.

"No", Mr. Krabs said, "what are you trying to accomplish, anyways?"

"The secret menu item", Shimmer said.

"Well, all those names are wrong", Mr. Krabs said, "so no secret chicken for you!"

The kids then left.

"Now what'll we do", Shimmer asked.

"There's only one solution", Deema said, "we need a man on the inside."

"But who'd go and do that", Shine asked.

The boys got together.

"We will", Tracker said.

"You guys", Molly asked.

"Sure", Blaze said, "we'll become employees, and figure out the name of the secret menu item."

"Hey, that's dumb enough to work", Shimmer said.

"Come on, guys", Tracker said, "let's type up our resumes."

The next day, Mr. Krabs was looking over the boys' resumes, and came to a decision.

"You're hired", Mr. Krabs said.

"Alright", Tracker said, "come on, guys."

The boys looked around, but didn't find anything.

"Well", Tracker asked.

"Nothing", Nonny said.

"The name of that item is even more guarded than the gold in Fort Knox", Blaze said.

"Hey, you three", Mr. Krabs said, "back to work!"

"Yes sir, boss", Tracker said.

The boys quickly got to work preparing food.

"Don't worry, guys", Tracker said, "I'm sure we'll find it."

One Week Later

Tracker, Blaze, and Nonny were working like a well-oiled machine.

"Hey Tracker, Nonny", Blaze said, "a customer wants an order of barbecue tenders."

"Coming right up", Tracker said.

Tracker served the customer, and the next few customers stepped up.

"Welcome to Up-N-Down Chicken, how may I take your order", Blaze asked.

Then, he noticed it was the girls.

"Hey, girls", Blaze said, "how's it hanging?"

"We've been waiting for you guys all week", Shimmer said.

Then, Tracker and Nonny came out.

"Hi, girls", Tracker said, "what would you like?"

"The name of the secret chicken", Molly said, "have you guys even found it yet?"

The boys looked at each other in embarrassment.

"Oops", Tracker said, "we got completely sidetracked."

"Never mind", Shimmer said, "we're going to try something else tonight."
