So what do I do? I cut the ropes and I swing magnificently right into the open Portal!
Then you skid magnificently across fifty feet of paved road.
[Cornelia tends to his wounds]
[Hay Lin runs in]
HLHay Lin
Guys! Guys! Guess what? [Notices Caleb] Wow, what happened to you?
HLHay Lin
Huh, anyway, Elyon got a guy!
HLHay Lin
Well, it just happened. This guy, Brian, he's a dog walker. They met when a Pomeranian stopped to sniff her ankle. Is that cute, or what?
Nobody ever sniffs my ankle,
Good for Elyon. She's been so unhappy since she dumped Mark.
She dumped a guy, so she's unhappy?
Well, duh, she didn't have a boyfriend.
Well duh yourself. She had a boyfriend until she dumped him. Guess we're a little backwards in Meridian, we only ask people out we actually like.
[Whispering to Taranee] Hahahaha...so, what's taking him so long with Corny?
HLHay Lin
Blunk! I told you, no more free food.
[Blunk shows Vathek to the girls, and the girls are scared]
HLHay Lin
Will! [Hay Lin performs martial arts]
[She takes out the Heart of Kandrakar] Woah, Guardians Unite!
No, no, no! Good blue thing.
Oh! Duh, Caleb's friend - Vortoack, right?
So, uh, how've you been? You look, uh...blue.
HLHay Lin
Oh, he's not here, tell us!
[Caleb appears]
HLHay Lin
[dryly] Caleb, what a surprise.
[The girls (excluding Cornelia) are in the canteen. Cornelia walks up to them]
Cornelia, we all feel terrible about Elyon, but...
We thought we were protecting her. We thought Phobos would take longer to find her.
No, you thought that. I am sick of playing follow the leader. My best friend is in the clutches of some creature. Things were going just fine before you came to this school!
HLHay Lin
It's not all Will's fault!
Whatever! The point is, this protecting the Veil thing is becoming really unfun.
[Irma sighs and stands up]
Cornelia, it's not an after school activity, it's our responsibility to answer the call of duty.
Well, duty can lose my phone number.
What are you talking about?
Cornelia, even friends fight.
HLHay Lin
We'll all be best friends tomorrow! Pinky swear!
[Hay Lin, Irma and Taranee hold out their pinkies]
The pinky isn't going to fix this one.
Maybe we should have told Elyon the truth.
Yes, we should have. And now I'm going to do something I should have done a long time ago - I quit!
HLHay Lin
I hope you mean dairy!
I mean this friendship, I mean the Guardians! Somebody else can fight big lizards and gargoyles for a while. [She storms off]
HLHay Lin
Oh, those zombie Rebels are kinda in the demolition zone, Will!
[softly] So we send them a subtle warning.
[Cornelia flies down and uses both of her hands to knock the ground, which causes an earth tremor.]
[Irma uses her power to manipulate the water into a fountain, which the "zombie" rebels fall into]
Hay Lin, sound is carried by air. Can you find the marching band?
[Hay Lin uses her power and sound waves appear all around her]
HLHay Lin
I hear the horn...and about six really out of tune clarinets.
Haha! Thank you, Radio Hay Lin!
HLHay Lin
There is a new portal but, uh...[To Cornelia] you're not going to like it.
[Later]
HLHay Lin
It's about a hundred yards out and about fifty feet down
Well, we'll have to swim it.
Y'know, body in water, legs kicking.
No, I, I, um, I just washed my hair, if it gets wet, it'll get all frizzicky. Alright, I can't swim!
WIWill, Irma, Taranee, Hay Lin
What?!
[Irma uses her power to manipulate the water, shaping it into a large sphere]
[Hay Lin blows a gust of wind at the sphere and it causes it to expand and changes into a bubble]
HLHay Lin
[About ways of opening the Book of Secrets] Which we've tried everything but dynamite to open! Hey!
You don't need dynamite, you have something [The Heart of Kandrakar] better.
[Will holds the Heart over the book]
Remember, the Seal of Phobos is a key...a universal key.
[The Heart opens the Book]
Uh, did those flowers whisper anything about invisible ink?
