Horrid Henry Delivers a Message

==Synopsis==
Henry knows that teachers can be weird, but he doesn't realize just how weird they can be until he has to deliver a message or two.
==Plot==
Horrid Henry, Aerobic Al, Beefy Bert, Anxious Andrew and Rude Ralph are all playing football at school. Al accidentally kicks the ball through the school window, narrowly missing the glass (with Henry saying it was close), and Henry decides to go get the ball. 
Henry succeeds in getting passed Miss Battle-Axe and gets into the school, spotting the football at the end of the hallway. However, as he goes to get it, Miss Oddbod comes out of a room and asks what he's doing inside when it's break. Henry lies and says he's looking for Mr. Soggington, and Miss Oddbod asks him to tell Mr. Soggington that she can't meet him at lunch, and will instead have to meet after school, before leaving.
Henry then goes and picks up the ball, but Mr. Soggington himself comes and asks what Henry is doing. When he says he's getting the ball back, Mr. Soggington takes it from him. Henry screams, 'NOOOOOOO!!!', opening the title card. 
Mr. Soggington screams 'YESSSSSS!' back at him and smiles, telling him to run along. In a last attempt to get the ball back, Henry says that he has a message from Miss Oddbod. This surprises Mr. Soggington, and he asks what it is, and Henry says that Miss Oddbod wishes to meet him after school. Mr. Soggington seems happy, and let's Henry go with his ball. After break ends, Henry and his class go back inside, but Mr. Soggington - who is hiding behind a small bush - whispers to Henry, and explains he has a message for Miss Oddbod: He wants to try out a new restaurant. He then leaves, and Henry comments that teachers can be so weird. Miss Battle-Axe comes, telling him to get back into class, and Henry says he has a message from Mr. Soggington. Miss Battle-Axe asks what, and Henry says he wants to try out a new restaurant.
Miss Battle-Axe asks when, seeming much happier, and Henry says after school, but before he can finish, Miss Battle-Axe walks off. Henry turns to the audience, asking why he gets the feeling that everything is about to go very wrong. 
In class, Miss Battle-Axe tells Henry to pay attention but the class wasn't doing the same either, and the bell rings. Miss Battle-Axe then says everyone can leave except Henry. Henry asks what he's done now to get into trouble. Miss Battle-Axe says it isn't what he's done, but what he's going to do, and explains she needs Henry to ask Mr. Soggington a question but can't ask him herself. She then explains to Henry to ask Mr. Soggington what she should wear, and Henry appears startled by this, and Miss Battle-Axe giggles, saying he'll know what she means. 
At lunch, Henry asks what it is that Greasy Greta puts on Ralph's tray in a bowl. Ralph replies that it's stew, and Mr. Soggington suddenly appears beside Henry as Ralph sits down, asking if he's got any more messages for him. As Henry asks Mr. Soggington the question of what Miss Battle-Axe should wear, Miss Battle-Axe herself is watching. Mr. Soggington appears suprised, but tells Henry she should wear overalls, as that it what Mr. Soggington wears while tidying up the gym cupboard. Henry tells Miss Battle-Axe that Mr Soggington said overalls and he will meet her there at the gym cupboard then she happily accepts while thinking about a restaurant and walks off. Henry tells the audience that he is not getting a good feeling about this at all. 
Henry and Ralph were playing football when he kicks the ball and it rolls to Miss Oddbod as Henry goes to get it. Miss Oddbod asked Henry if he delivered her message to Mr Soggington and he said 'YES'. Henry told her that Mr Soggington said to he wants to try a new restaurant, meet him at the gym cupboard and wear overalls too. Miss Oddbod found that odd and walks off then Ralph approaches Henry asked him what was going on. Henry told Ralph that Miss Odbbod wanted him to delivered a message to Mr Soggington and it's all gotten mixed up with gym cupboards, overalls, restaurants and Miss Battle-Axe. 
Ralph thinks it's perfectly clear to him but Henry reluctantly agrees as they watch Miss Battle-Axe skipping happily. In class, Miss Battle-Axe asked the pupils what 8 x 7 is and chooses Henry who says '87' but she responded nicely that the answer was 56 thinking it's closely and congrats him which made Henry and Ralph give exchange looks of confusion to each other. At P.E. class, Mr Soggington sends the girls to do 10 laps around the school field but lets the boys play football instead and gives them the ball much to their surprise. Later, Ralph told Henry that he's been thinking about the teachers being seriously weird around them. Ralph tells Henry the reason is because Miss Battle-Axe thinks the message was for her but it was really for Miss Oddbod who thinks the gym cupboard message was hers too and Henry agrees although he did not know what Ralph was talking about. Ralph explains that the meaning is that Henry will be serious trouble when Mr Soggington finds out the mixed messages between Miss Battle-Axe and the gym cupboard situation before entering. 
Ralph tells Henry to make sure that Miss Battle-Axe meets Mr Soggington in a restaurant and Miss Oddbod gets the gym cupboard tided up but he wondered how and Ralph assured him that he hasn't worked out that part yet. Everyone comes out of the classroom as the bell rings but then the boys saw Mr Soggington walking foward and hides behind a plant then watches Miss Battle-Axe wave to him. Henry gets worried that he is going to be in so much trouble but Ralph assured him he has it all covered. They go to the gym cupboard and Ralph tells Henry to tidy up the mess to get him out of trouble. Soon, Henry was finished tidying and sees Ralph setting the table meaning he was busy then they hear footsteps coming. Henry hides on the wall as Miss Oddbod enters while opening the door, wearing overalls and sees Ralph inside then Miss Battle-Axe shows up wearing the same thing and sees them both. Finally, Mr Soggington appears inside and Ralph shows the three teachers to their table then clicks his fingers as Brainy Brian comes out of the gym cupboard playing his violin and welcomes them to the gym cupboard restaurant much to their surprise. 
Then Ralph gets Henry to come out of hiding and open the door revealing the 3 teacher’s dinner which is Stew from before. Henry pushes the trays inside and serves the three teachers Stew and Miss Battle-Axe asked what do they owe this honour but Ralph tells them that they just want to thank Mr. Soggington, Miss Oddbod and Battle-Axe for being the best teachers ever. Henry tells Ralph that he owe him one and he says that's what friends are for then high five each other. However, Ralph told Henry that he had to make a deal with Greasy Greta to get the stew from the canteen and in exchange for that, Henry has to help out by doing all the washing up for the school for a week. With that, Henry yells 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!' ending the episode.
