'''The Ceremony Girl?! - NBR Investigates''' is the eighteenth video in the [[Nikki Bower]] video series. Nikki identifies [[callmejules24]] as a possible replacement for Bree in the ceremony. It was posted as a response to the video [[Hug It Out]].

==Transcript==

(''Nikki B is sitting in a chair looking disheveled. She has a brightly colored blanket wrapped around her.'')

'''Nikki:''' Hey guys, it's Nikki B here. I was really struck by that last video. And I have been up ''all'' night. Researching... thinking. We all knew something was up with [[Alex]]. We did. She was a little fishy. But I can''not'' believe what happened. [[BDJ]]... betrayed again. You know, you should never trust a woman who dresses like a human pinata. (''Looks down at her own colorful blanket'')

(''Cut to shot of Nikki B without the blanket. She is wearing a white shirt.'')

'''Nikki:''' And Jonas, what was with the gun? Uch! It shocked me. Because the only gun I wanted to see on you were... you know... the (''Makes a muscle'')... your like guns. You know like... which way to the guns show? So you're probably wondering why Nikki B looks so disheveled. I have been doing research. Alex said that they no longer need Bree anymore. That they found another girl. Say what? They're looking for a new girl! ''That'' is news! (''Nods'') ''What'' does this mean for Bree? I mean, they've been hunting her down for months... preparing her for this ceremony. Are we ever going to ''see'' this ceremony? I mean... now and suddenly there's this ''new'' girl. What is going on here? (''Gets excited'') What is going on here?? I've had a lot of coffee.

So, maybe there's another girl out there who they've been injecting with [[EPOGEN]]. See, I told you. It's all about the drugs. So Nikki B decided to put her investigative skills to work. I decided to go back to the ''very'' beginning... to [[YouTube]] of course! So I decided to see if there were any other young girls out there preparing for the ceremony.

In my search, I found a lot of ''interesting'' things. I've seen a lot of cats... cats doing funny things. (''Camera pans to Nikki's computer, on which she has a clip of a cat from YouTube playing'') Cats that look like Hitler. They call them "Kitlers." Psycho birds... (''Clip of a parrot called "My Psycho Birds" plays'') toddlers... (''Clip of a toddler rolling around on the floor, called "GNARLS BARKLEY CRAZY TODDLER" plays'') {{wikipedia|Sanjaya_Malakar|Sanjaya}}... (''Clip of Sanjaya from American Idol plays'').

(''Nikki now has on a lab coat and glasses'')

[[Image:Nikki Hearts Jonas.jpg|thumb|left|Nikki lubbs Jonas.]]
'''Nikki:''' So earlier this morning as the sun was rising... (''Quick shot of a notepad, on which Nikki has scribbled [[relationships|"Nikki *hearts* Jonas"]]'') the crows were crowing... the roosters were (''cock-a-doodle-doo'')ing, I was still awake... researching... investigating. (''Pours herself a cup of coffee'') I was on my third pot of Yuban, when I came across a fresh-faced youngster, talking about her life.

(''Nikki is no longer wearing the lab coat or glasses'')

'''Nikki:''' So I found a girl who goes by the name of [[callmejules24]]. (''Quick shot of callmejules24's YouTube profile'') She's fresh-faced... down-to-earth... articulate. There's no nudity... no swear words. Qualities that are sometimes hard to find on these video sites. Now, she looks pretty innocent and cute to the... average viewer. But I'm Nikki B! So I was lookin' for clues. Her name is Julia, but she tells you in three different languages that you can call her Jules. Her parents are making her study languages... Spanish... French... German... and get this... one you (''Air quotes'') probably never heard of. Hello?? [[Enochian]]! So, she didn't say Enochian. But come on! To an investigative reporter like me, it's pretty obvious.

So Jules also talks about reading some book. And how she relates to the main character because the character is like a prisoner and she feels like a prisoner... yadda yadda yadda. You guys remember... Bree felt like a prisoner in her home... and you know, she read a lot. So on to our second vid. It doesn't really fit the formula, but bear with me. The video is a response to another VLogger, dmurawski. She talks about her cat Piglet... and she raps. Remember the [[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n. | Grillz]] video, people? (''Nikki smiles widely, revealing the tinfoil she has wrapped on her teeth''). The parallel between the two is just... eerie.

Okay, so let's backtrack for a sec. I made a list of similarities between Bree and this Jules character. First off, drugs. (''Camera pans to a yellow notepad, on which Nikki has made a list. The visible page is stained and has scribbles in the margins.'') Well, technically we haven't seen drugs yet with Jules, but I have a suspicion. So we'll leave that... we'll leave that one open for a second. Language... check. Stuffed animals... well Bree had [[Purple Monkey | P Monkey]] and [[Owen]] of course. Jules has a cat... which is an animal... and it's fat. I'm gonna give that a check... because I think that goes under stuffed animals. Dull life equals prisoner... check. And uh... both of their fathers encourage them to study... and study numerous languages. Uh, a check. And check again and check again. So we're just gonna wait about the drugs... and see what happens.

Callmejules24. (''Nods'') You heard it here first. This is Nikki B (''Salutes'') signing off.

(''Camera now cuts to Nikki, looking much more polished. She appears to be standing outside of some sort of restaurant, with a waitress named Kira.'')

'''Nikki:''' So after my late night of investigating, I was a bit hungry. So I decided to come grab a bite to eat. And it turns out my waitress was very knowledgable about Bree and Daniel. My mentor, [[Nancy Drew's Guide to Life | Nancy Drew]] says, "When you see an opportunity, reach out and grab it."

(''Reaches over and hugs Kira, grinning madly'')

'''Nikki:''' So, since I've been up all night... I'm so tired... maybe Kira here might trigger something in me that I haven't thought of. (''To Kira'') So I'm going to ask you some questions and you just have to answer the first thing that comes to mind.

'''Kira:''' Alright.

'''Nikki:''' Ready?

'''Kira:''' Ready.

'''Nikki:''' Alright! Daniel or Jonas?

'''Kira:''' Daniel.

'''Nikki:''' Beanie or sombrero?

'''Kira:''' Uh... beanie!

'''Nikki:''' Modafinil or ointment?

'''Kira:''' Ointment!

'''Nikki:''' [[Bree's parents | Bree's mom or Bree's dad]]?

'''Kira:''' Um, Bree's mom.

'''Nikki:''' Alex or Lucy?

'''Kira:''' Lucy.

'''Nikki:''' Owen or P Monkey?

'''Kira:''' Uh... P Monkey!

'''Nikki:''' First word that comes to mind when I say these people.... Bree!

'''Kira:''' Uhmm.... I dunno.

'''Nikki:''' Watcher!

'''Kira:''' Um... scary!

'''Nikki:''' Gemma.

'''Kira:''' Missing.

'''Nikki:''' Sanjaya?

'''Kira:''' Um... um... unintelligible.

'''Nikki:''' Meep!

'''Kira:''' Gah!

'''Nikki:''' That was actually... that was really... that last one was very good. (''Jots down notes on a piece of paper'') Bree and Jonas -- are they brother and sister?

'''Kira:''' No.

'''Nikki:''' Your Guiltless Chicken Sandwich -- is it really guiltless?

'''Kira:''' It ''is'' guiltless. (''Nods'')

'''Nikki:''' Nikki Bower, is she your favorite reporter?

'''Kira:''' Of course!

'''Nikki:''' That's really... that's like... that made me feel ''good''. Let's hug it out.

'''Kira:''' Aw.

'''Nikki:''' My lunch at Chili's has proved ''very'' successful. I think I got some very insightful information. (''Looks at Kira'') Who woulda thunk it?

'''Kira:''' Not me... I certainly wouldn't.

'''Nikki:''' Not me. Anyways, friends. Until next time, this is Nikki B and Kira (''They both salute the camera''), signing off.

==Notes==
*The fact that Bree [[New Girl|responds to this episode]] seems to canonize Nikki B. (along with Julia) in the eyes of the Breeniverse, despite earlier assurances from the Creators that she is not canon.
*For more information on the Kitlers that Nikki Bower mentions go to http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com
*It is hinted at in [http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/forum/viewtopic.php?p=306479&highlight=#306479 this post] that the Creators know who Kira is and that she may not be a "random fan" as she is stated to be.

==Transcript==
(''Daniel and Jonas are in a car driving.'')

'''Daniel:''' Well, [[Bree]] left.

'''Jonas:''' (''softly'') "See ya."

'''Daniel:''' So, anyways, we're on our way to the airport right now to pick up Jonas's aunt. And, uh, Bree decided to go hang out with Tachyon. Yeah, I'm sure that's the only reason she left though, to hang out with Tachyon. You think? Yeah maybe? Just.. (''Daniel turns the camera towards Jonas.'')

'''Jonas:''' What?

'''Daniel:''' Tell everyone out here what you asked her before she left.

'''Jonas:''' No, that was just a thing. I'm not gonna--

'''Daniel:''' No, tell us. It was a, a joke right?

'''Jonas:''' Yeah, of course it was a joke.

'''Daniel:''' Well, then tell us.

'''Jonas:''' No.

'''Daniel:''' Why, why not? You think it was just a little bit messed up?

'''Jonas:''' Ok, ok, I'll tell you.

'''Daniel:''' All right, cool.

'''Jonas:''' It was really innocent, she way overreacted, but I said, uh, this thing that my mom used to tell me. She would say, Jonas, would you rather, uh, be dumber than you look or look dumber than you are? And I would say, well, I'd rather look dumber than I am. And she'd say, are you sure that's possible? (''Daniel laughs.'') See, innocent.

'''Daniel:''' Well, let's put it like this (''Daniel turns the camera towards himself.''). He said that to Bree. Bree, like as in the brain child, Bree. (''in a high pitched voice'') I'm-so-smart Bree. (''normally'') Yeah, Bree. Bree. It was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back. Within two hours she was all packed up and ready for Tachyon to pick her up. What do you think they're doing? (''Daniel turns the camera towards Jonas.'')

'''Jonas:''' Talking about ways to kill me. (''Daniel laughs''). Oh, listen, uh, before we pick up my aunt, uh...I don't know how kosher she's gonna be with the whole B&E I pulled in her office thing today.

'''Daniel:''' Are you serious?

'''Jonas:''' Yeah....

'''Daniel:''' Now he tells us.

'''Jonas:''' It'll be fine. It's--I'm pretty sure.

'''Daniel:''' You sure? Then why'd you replace the lock? (''laughs'') Are you gonna tell her about the stuff you found?

'''Jonas:''' I don't know.

'''Daniel:''' How do you tell her without telling her that you broke into her office?

'''Jonas:''' Yeah, good point.

'''Daniel:''' What are you gonna tell her about your hand?

'''Jonas:''' Ah, I don't think I'm gonna--

'''Daniel:''' It's a conundrum.

'''Jonas:''' Yes, Daniel-san, it is a conundrum. (''Daniel laughs.'')

'''Daniel:''' She's divorced, right? Did she ever like, re-marry?

'''Jonas:''' Daniel, Daniel.

'''Daniel:''' What, dude?

'''Jonas:''' Listen to me.

'''Daniel:''' I'm not saying anything.

'''Jonas:''' Listen to me, do not hit--

'''Daniel:''' I'm not saying--All I'm saying is--

'''Jonas:''' Do not hit on my aunt. If you hit on my aunt, I will go Bree on you.

(''Jonas's aunt gets in the car.'')

'''Jonas:''' All right.

'''Daniel:''' All right.

'''Jonas:''' Say hi to the camera.

'''Alex:''' Hi.

'''Daniel:''' Yeah, so I don't know. Maybe, maybe tell us a little something about Rome.

'''Alex:''' Is he serious?

'''Jonas:''' Mmhmm, but just ignore him.

'''Daniel:''' Whatever, dude.

'''Alex:''' Oh my God, what happened to your hand?

'''Jonas:''' Oh, um, nothing, I just, I, I cut it in the kitchen. I was making salad--

'''Alex:''' Are you ok?

'''Jonas:''' It's a long story. Yeah, I'm good though.

'''Alex:''' Don't get near knives.

'''Daniel:''' So--

'''Alex:''' I've been telling you that since you were ten.

'''Daniel:''' Do you have a boyfriend? (''Alex laughs'')

'''Jonas:''' Daniel.

'''Daniel:''' Well, I'm just wondering.

'''Jonas:''' Daniel, you wanna walk?

'''Alex:''' I...

'''Jonas:''' Do you want to walk?

'''Alex:''' ...don't have time for a boyfriend.

'''Daniel:''' You don't have time for a boyfriend?

'''Alex:''' No... sorry.

'''Jonas:''' Just take it easy.

'''Daniel:''' I'm being nice.

'''Jonas:''' Play it cool.

'''Alex:''' It's ok.

'''Daniel:''' I'm totally cool, ask her. I'm cool right? (''Alex nods.'') See, she thinks I'm cool. (''Jonas shakes his head.'')

==Notes==
* Starting with this video, we know that Bree left Jonas's aunt's house with [[Tachyon]].
* There was much speculation about the identity of the actress who plays [[Alex|Jonas's aunt]]. Some said it was [[Amy Aitken]], Kim Argetsinger, or a woman named Leigh. It was quickly revealed that [[Bitsie Tulloch]] is the actress playing Aunt Alex. This was the first time that [[Liza Weil]] was not suspected of being the actress.
* B&E refers to "Breaking and Entering", a [[Crime Report|crime]] which has been perpetrated at least twice in the series. [[Breaking And Entering]] is also the title of one of Daniel's blogs.
