"Hex Games" is the second episode of Season 2.

Plot

"Timmy challenges Vicky for the title of Queen of the Skatepark but if he loses, all the kids will be banned at [sic] the park. Thank goodness he's got two fairies who can provide him with the winning moves. Once he discovers that Cosmo and Wanda can't help him cheat, it's up to A.J. and Chester to come up with the perfect move – the Timmy Tuck."

Synopsis

Cosmo and Wanda as Timmy's skating gear.

The episode begins at the Dimmsdale Skate Park, where kids are rolling around on skateboards – including Francis, who skates down the giant Ramp of Death with so much speed that he goes flying into space. After Chester wipes out and breaks his braces, Timmy impresses him and A.J. by skateboarding while using Cosmo and Wanda to magically improve his skill. Their fun comes to an end when Vicky skates off a ramp and rams into them. Vicky, the best skateboarder at the park and its self-proclaimed queen, plants a "you must be this tall" sign that effectively prevents Timmy and the other kids from skating on any ramp. In response, Timmy challenges her to a skateboarding contest to happen the next day; if he wins, he will become the park's new queen (king), but if Vicky beats him, she will ban every kid younger than 16 from the park forever.

Timmy is confident that he will win until Cosmo and Wanda tell him that because of Da Rules, he cannot use their magic to win a competition. Chester and A.J. come up to him and present him a blueprint for a new skateboarding trick they say he needs in order to beat Vicky: a combination of a 1400° spin and four aerial flips that Chester dubs the "Timmy Tuck". An eavesdropping Vicky copies the blueprint, excited to take the trick for herself.

Timmy practices skateboarding on the moon.

Timmy later tries to practice skateboarding by himself, and after a few wipeouts, he complains that he will not be able to learn the Timmy Tuck in time for the contest. He asks Cosmo and Wanda if they can take him to places where he can train quickly, and the fairies do just that. They take him to the Moon, for practicing spins; a jungle, for learning to swerve; and a pyramid, on which he tries to learn how to accelerate but loses control and crashes. He is left disappointed that he is still failing simple tricks.

The next day, as the skateboarding contest is supposed to begin, Timmy is nowhere to be seen. He has decided not to show up, thinking that he would just humiliate himself by doing so. Vicky declares herself the winner by default. She makes the kids line up and starts taking their skateboards to put them in a wood chipper. Before she can shred A.J.'s board, Timmy leaps in and takes it from her and reiterates that she has to skate better than him to win the contest.

In the first round of the contest, Timmy does well while Vicky is unable to do anything due to the ramp being too small for her board. In round two, Vicky performs impressively and sabotages Timmy by making spikes come out of the ramp and shred the wheels on his board. With the two of them tied, they continue to round three, on the Ramp of Death.

Vicky announces before her turn that she is about to perform the "totally original" Vicky Tuck, at which point Timmy and his friends realize that she stole their trick. Vicky heads down the ramp and rockets into the air, but suddenly she falls off her board and wipes out. Timmy decides to face his fear and finally skate down the big ramp thanks to the encouragement of the many kids cheering him on. As it looks like Timmy has a good chance of winning, Vicky tries to stop him by blowing up parts of the ramp. Chester counteracts this by using his new braces to make tracks on the ramp for Timmy to skate on, and Timmy makes it into the air and does the Timmy Tuck perfectly.

Francis slams into Vicky.

A.J. explains to Vicky that she lost her balance doing the Timmy Tuck because unlike Timmy, she is "tall and weighted down with too much evil" to do the trick. Regardless, Vicky refuses to give up her queen crown. She tells Timmy: "You got a better chance of some loser 12-year-old wastoid falling from the sky and plowing me into the ground!" Only after Francis re-enters the atmosphere and crashes into her does she let Timmy have the crown. Using his newfound power as "queen", Timmy gets rid of the "you must be this tall" sign and announces that the kids can freely skate again.
