Oh man, I hate community service day! Maybe I'll stand out all night in the parking lot with a pen in my hand.
TTaranee
Maybe I'll sleep in my locker.
Guys, what is community service day?
Okay, tomorrow morning there is going to be a list on this board: 400 jobs, for 400 kids.
Out of those, maybe 10 won't totally stink.
And the last kids to sign up get the most gag-a-riffic ones.
Oh yeah? Try monkey bar scraper at the zoo!
[A flashback of Cornelia's community service takes place]
Ok. You had it easy. I was a sewer ladder painter!
[A flashback of Irma's community service takes place]
Ok, got it! Get here early.
[Referring to a portal] Woah! Do you know what David Copperfield would pay for this?
Something's coming through.
Water! [Irma summons a swirl of water]
TTaranee
Fire! [Taranee summons a fireball]
Air! [Hay Lin holds a metal pipe]
Earth! [Cornelia levitates two rocks from the ground]
[The Guardians believe Professor Collins is "The Beast" and have switched to Guardian form]
You weren't expecting that! [She fires water at Collins]
Have a seat. [She releases Earth energy which rolls the ground]
[Hay Lin summons a whirlwind which lifts Collins up and Taranee flies up, holds on to Collins, spins him around and he crashes to the ground]
Let's see what you look like with green skin and a tail. [She holds up the Heart of Kandrakar towards Collins but he doesn't turn into "The Beast", he becomes unconsciousness, as a result. Hay Lin struggles to pull his face off]
Ughh! This is really glued on tight!
[Taranee picks up a book that Collins was holding]
What is it, Being Evil For Dummies?
TTaranee
It's information about the Sheffield PTA.
Phobos has joined the PTA?!
I don't think so, but my mom did.
I think the phrase you're all searching for is "You were right, Caleb".
Um, why did you all the way here from Earth to Meridian in your human form?
Well, believe it or not, we were looking for a history book.
Hm, let me refill your drinks [She walks away]
[Eating] Why isn't anyone else eating?
Uh, Hay Lin, I think this may be all the food they had.
TTaranee
Kind of puts a lost essay into perspective.
[The Trill returns]
When Phobos took the throne, a light went out over this land, our men jailed,our crops stolen, we have no security, nothing for ourselves but our dreams. I hear things working in the castle. I hear that Phobos has a sister on the other side.
The true heir to the throne. They say she does not know her true identity or even that she was not born on Earth.
Weren't we supposed to get that new student from Switzerland today?
Maybe she's here and we didn't notice.
[A beautiful red haired, green eyed girl enters the canteen]
TTaranee
No...my guess is, that's her.
[Martin who is sitting at the table runs over to the new girl]
[To Irma] Good news, I think he's over you.
[Irma looks angry]
You're crazy to race Sandra. She's like, total Swiss, ok, they're born on skis.
TTaranee
And you send yourself, you're a lousy skier.
Yeah, but I'm a terrific Guardian. And the winner gets to sit next to Matt.
TTaranee
We're supposed to use our powers to fight evil not snooty foreigners.
What's The Tracker and Sniffer doing here?
TTaranee
I'm guessing they're not Vance Michael Justin fans.
[The Tracker and Sniffer walk in a different direction]
What's in that direction?
Um, Caleb and Blunk, babysitting Chris.
You left your little brother with them?!
TTaranee
Now, that's just cruel.
To Caleb and Blunk [She laughs]
EElias
Then you'll need disguises.
Uh, maybe something like...[She shows the drawing to the girls] this?
[The dress comes to life surrounded by blue magic. The girls gasp]
This is like, way, the most realistic sketch I ever did!
TTaranee
Everything you paint comes to life!
[Elias nods, Cornelia holds out a bunch of paintbrushes]
Oh, let's go clothes painting!
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]
Guys! Guys! Guess what? [Notices Caleb] Wow, what happened to you?
Huh, anyway, Elyon got a guy!
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,
TTaranee
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?
You guys, if Elyon's in danger how can we know that and not tell her?
TTaranee
If we tell her that she's the princess of evil city, she'll think we're crazy. Where does that get us?
[Cornelia stands up and walks off]
[The girls (excluding Cornelia) are in the canteen. Cornelia walks up to them]
TTaranee
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!
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.
TTaranee
What are you talking about?
TTaranee
Cornelia, even friends fight.
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!
I mean this friendship, I mean the Guardians! Somebody else can fight big lizards and gargoyles for a while. [She storms off]
[arriving late] Sorry, guys!
By the way, it's okay to wear that outfit with a watch!
[disgusted] We ran out of gossip. We had to talk about schoolwork.
My mom grounded me. I had to go out the window.
TTaranee
Well, did you leave an Astral Drop of yourself?
No. I want her to think I've run away and been captured by bears!
Can we please transform? I'm cold and sweatshirts make me look fat.
