[reading the carving on the tree] "Max plus Verdona"? [curious] Who's Verdona?
[picks up the mysterious flower] Let's find her and ask. I should be able to track her from this.
[Nightime; Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are sitting in Kevin's car]
This is crazy. She didn't show yesterday and she's not gonna show tonight.
Humor me.
[Kevin sighs in annoyance. Ben repeatedly pushes the lock and unlock button on the door. He turns to see Kevin glaring at him. Ben opens his mouth as if to say something, but turns away. Ben pushes the lock and unlock button again.]
[Annoyed] Do I look like I'm kidding, Tennyson?
[Annoyed] You guys! I have to find a bathroom.
Lots of trees around.
Real debonair, Kevin.
[Gets out of Kevin's car] There's a gas station a couple miles back.
I'll drive you.
No. Keep watch. I'll be right back. [Closes the door and walks away]
[Ben and Kevin continue sitting in the car. Ben repeatedly pushes the lock and unlock button on the door. Kevin gets so enraged that he grabs Ben and gets ready to attack him.]
[Points at Verdona approaching the tree] Look.
[Kevin turns to see Verdona approaching the tree.]
(talking to Gwen) Did you say Max was your grandfather? [Hugs Gwen] Kiddo!
Um, he was my grandpa, too.
Really? Ooh. Can you project pure energy like your sister?
Cousin and no.
Shame. Gwendolyn, I'm Verdona. We'll talk again soon.
I think we just met our grandmother.
Dad, we need to talk.
In your room? I'm honored! When was the last time you let me in here?
I've been keeping a big secret from you: Magic powers.
(sarcastically) So you're what, some kind of wizard in training? Come on, Gwen. There's no such thing.
But, there's more. You ready?
(Closes the drawer with her spellbooks in it, with a stream of bright pink glowing energy)
That's a big secret.
I met Grandma Verdona today.
I was afraid this day might come, but you never showed any signs of having powers. Your mother and I thought we were in the clear.
Magic runs in the family? I knew it!
Honey, there really is no such thing as magic. Your grandma's an alien.
[Gwen is sitting on the roof.]
[Joins Gwen] You would go up on the roof. Some of us can't fly, you know.
[Joins Gwen and Kevin] Dude, be supportive.
This is not how I expected my day to go.
Still, it's pretty cool to find out about your powers, right? Grandma could teach you to do all that stuff she can do.
I'd be gone for a long time, I guess.
Maybe forever.
I've always felt like an outsider, like I'm in the wrong place. But then, I think, oh, that's high school for you.
We'll miss you if you go.
Really?
Sure, but we've been recruiting more and more Plumber kids, so we'd still have a pretty, powerful team.
Oh.
When I was trying to decide whether to use my powers again, you told me it was my choice. That's all I'm saying. Anyway, maybe you owe it to yourself to try turning into a cosmic mana master.
Maybe.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Kevin? Do you feel the same way?
No. Why would you even think about it? I want you around. The whole thing's lame.
[Gwen kisses Kevin on the cheek and leaves. As Gwen leaves, Kevin turns to watch her.]
Lame! Lame! Lame!
Destroy?
Her body?
Destroy my body? You're not serious.
How do you know whether you like something if you don't try it?
Verdona, she said no.
[Kevin lifts a boulder ready to smash Verdona with it, but then he pauses]
Dude, I don't know if I could pound your grandma.
That's okay. We're teaching her to mind her mana. [makes monkey-like laugh and Verdona laughs as well]
Good one, Ben.
Was not.
[Verdona frees herself from Spidermonkey's web trap, rises into the air, and starts absorbing all the mana of living things]
She's drawing mana from millions of living things around her!
The grass.
I'm really enjoying this!
