## Transcript:

On a Monday morning, Callie, Tyler A, and the rest of their classmates were awaiting Lori.

King Olly: I can’t believe Mrs. Santiago’s late!

Callie: It rarely happens. But I bet she’ll come in with an explanation in a minute…

Just then, Lori entered with a small girl with a gigantic bow on top of her head.

Lori: Sorry I’m late… But Mr. Tate got word of a new student. Meet-

The Bow: Just call me the Bow.

Lori looked confused.

Lori: Okay… Uh… The Bow will be your new classmate! The Bow, why don’t you sit next to Callie and Tyler A?

The Bow nodded and sat down by Callie and Tyler A.

Callie turned around suddenly.

Callie: It’s been a while!

King Olly: You know her?

Callie: The Bow and I were best friends when I was in LA when my parents divorced for quite some time. In fact, she was my only friend.

The Bow: Callie was special. Like me. We often did… things… together.

Tyler A: Well. You didn’t tell me about the Bow!

Callie: Yeah… Well, that’s cause I didn’t like you then…

Tyler A shrugged.

Tyler A: Makes sense.

Lori: Okay, we shall now get started. Who can tell me what year Zhan Tiri conquered Corona?

Callie and The Bow suddenly shot up their hands.

Lori: Well… Callie?

Callie: It’s a trick question!

The Bow: Yeah! Zhan Tiri NEVER conquered Corona!

Callie: At least… Not fully. You see, she’s always been thwarted by that Varian and Cassandra, plus the Sundrop Rapunzel and Flynn Rider aka Eugene Fitzherbert!

Lori: Okay, then! I knew you’d know the answer to this question.

Lori continued teaching.

Callie slipped the Bow a note that said: I’m glad you’re back.

The Bow opened it and smiled.

Meanwhile, in Corona, Lara and Matthew were hanging out near the Great Tree.

Zhan Tiri came down and noticed them.

Zhan Tiri: Matthew! Your grandfather wants to see you!

Matthew: Can’t it wait? I was showing Lara more effective ways to take out your opponent.

Lara: And why don’t I start with you?!

Zhan Tiri: No! You’re coming with me, Matthew.

Zhan Tiri grabbed Matthew’s hand and they flashed out.

Lara rolled her eyes.

Lara: I KNEW Zhan Tiri would get in between Matthew and me…

~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, at the playground, Callie was showing the Bow around.

Tyler A, King Olly, and Olivia went up to Callie and the Bow.

Tyler A: Callie! Can we have a word?

Callie: Can’t it wait? I’m showing the Bow around school so she doesn’t get lost.

The Bow: This place is… fascinating.

King Olly: Come on! You weren’t excited when Olivia and I started here!

Olivia: But now we see you enthusiastically giving the Bow a grand tour?! I don’t believe this!

Tyler A: Considering, yesterday we agreed to spend recess together today alone…

Callie: I forgot about that! Now please. The Bow and I have a lot to catch up on!

Callie and the Bow left.

Tyler A: I have a feeling Callie’s replaced me.

King Olly: Don’t say that! You’ll always be her boyfriend!

Tyler A: Might I remind you, she’s panromantic? She tends to go to someone - anyone, of any gender - who has a lot in common with her and begins to like them a lot… maybe even a little more than me.

Olivia: Don’t say that! Callie still loves you!

Tyler A: Well… okay…

~ ~ ~

Callie and The Bow were by Callie’s favorite big tree.

Callie: So, tell me! What have you been up to since I left?

The Bow: Well. Harvey Street’s not the same without you. I have had some adventures with the Harvey girls, but it’s not the same without you.

Callie: Well. I actually found a boyfriend. And met Zhan Tiri. Also… I’m panromantic.

The Bow: Fascinating… What’s that?

Callie: It means I like all genders.

The Bow: Awesome! You’ll always get my fullest support.

Callie: Really?! I mean, I would expect nothing less from you. But I’ve been picked on a lot because of that by the Ashleys and Dana. Who thinks being panromantic is this bad thing or whatever…

The Bow: Who are the Ashleys and Dana?

Callie rolled her eyes from underneath her hair.

Callie: Just some snobby girls who think they’re better than everyone else. Moving on.

The Bow: Frufru is exactly like that! She thinks I have… too big a bow!

Callie: Ugh. I remember Frufru. Just ignore her… or if that doesn’t work… Get revenge!

The Bow: Callie, you’re a genius!

The Bow hugged Callie.

Tyler A observed everything.

Tyler A: I knew it.

Tyler A stormed off.

Meanwhile, in Corona, Matthew and Lara were training for their guard class.

Zhan Tiri and Tromus went up to them.

Matthew: Grandfather?!

Lara looked unamused.

Lara: ...And Zhan Tiri.

Zhan Tiri: I understand you two have been hanging out a lot…

Tromus: That’s unacceptable! Remember the deal to destroy the Millers? Befriending Lara isn’t helping!

Matthew: You KNOW I officially reject that plan now! Lara and I will be GREAT friends!

Zhan Tiri muttered something.

Zhan Tiri: Not if I can help it…

Lara: WHAT was that?

Zhan Tiri smirked.

Zhan Tiri: Oh, nothing, Lara… Nothing at all…

Lara: Whatever. Matthew and I are going to practice our moves by the castle…

Lara and Matthew left.

Tromus: What are we going to do, old great one? My Matthew CAN’T like that Miller girl!

Zhan Tiri grinned evilly.

Zhan Tiri: Ohhh… I already have a plan for that…

~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, at lunch, Callie noticed the Bow sitting alone.

Tyler A waved Callie over to the table he was sitting at with his fellow Tylers, King Olly, and Olivia.

Tyler A: Over here, Callie!

Callie looked conflicted as the Bow also waved Callie over.

The Bow: Over here.

Callie went over to the Bow’s table.

Callie: How about you sit with me and my new friends?

The Bow smiled.

The Bow: You mean it?

Callie: Of course!

Callie and the Bow went over to Tyler A’s table.

Tyler A: Callie… I thought just you were going to sit here?

Callie: And WHY can’t the Bow sit here too?

Tyler A started looking nervous.

Tyler A: Well. Uh…

Tyler B: Cause the Bow’s weird!

Tyler Q: She doesn’t like brightly lit rooms.

Tyler T: And what is up with that huge bow?!

The Bow looked offended.

Callie: How could you?! I’m sorry, the Bow… the Tylers aren’t USUALLY like that…

Callie glared at the Tylers from underneath her hair.

King Olly: Really, I think the Bow’s cool.

Olivia: Yeah!

Lucas and Ryan went over to the Bow and sniffed her bow.

Lucas: That is one fine smelling bow…

Ryan: Can we marry you?

The Bow slapped Ryan and Lucas across the face.

The Bow: Absolutely not!

Lucas: Fine, fine! Let’s see how Alicia’s doing…

Ryan grinned.

Ryan: Yeah. Let’s…

Ryan and Lucas left.

Tyler A: Well, I admit you do know how to fend for yourself.

The Bow: That was nothing. Dealing with the Bloogey boys back home… Impossible. They never listened to reason!

Tyler B: Maybe you’re alright.

Tyler Q: More than alright. That was amazing!

Tyler T: Yeah! Lucas and Ryan are so off our friend’s list.

Tyler A: Still not convinced. I mean…

Tyler blushed nervously.

Tyler A: Are you and Callie...well...a… you know?

Callie: If you’re suggesting the Bow and I are a couple, we’re just friends.

The Bow: Yeah. Callie’s...like a sister I never had.

Tyler A looked embarrassed.

Tyler A: Oh…

Callie: Don’t worry. You’re the one I love.

Tyler A: But… what about Zhan Tiri?!

Callie blushed.

Tyler B: This just got awkward.

Tyler Q: We’re out.

The rest of the Tylers left.

King Olly: Oh. Olivia and I must be going too.

King Olly and Olivia left.

Callie: Well, I DO like Zhan Tiri! But YOU’RE the one I want!

The Bow: Yeah. Listen to Callie. She’ll always be there for you.

Tyler A looked upset.

Tyler A: I don’t believe this.

Tyler A stormed off.

The Bow: Don’t worry, Callie. He’ll come around.

Callie: I hope so…

Meanwhile, Zhan Tiri showed up unexpectedly at Varian and Cassandra’s house.

Zhan Tiri: It is, I! Zhan Tiri!

Cassandra: Oh, no you don’t!

Cassandra shot out black rocks.

Zhan Tiri dodged them.

Zhan Tiri: Oh, Cassandra. It’s useless fighting me.

Varian: You’re going down, demon!

Varian began throwing alchemy potions at Zhan Tiri.

Zhan Tiri dodged them.

Zhan Tiri: No. Now tell me… where are Lara and Matthew?

Victor: You REALLY think we’re going to tell you?

Toby: Yeah! You’ve done a lot of damage!

Ginny looked nervous.

Ginny: They went out and went to the House of Yesterday’s Tomorrow to practice fighting techniques. There’s lots of creepy things there!

Zhan Tiri grinned evilly.

Zhan Tiri: Perfect. I shall greet Matthew at his wonderful home.

Zhan Tiri flashed out.

The rest of the Millers glared at Ginny.

Ginny: What? She scares me…

~ ~ ~

At the House of Yesterday’s Tomorrow, Matthew and Lara were practicing their sword work on a deadly plant in Tromus’ basement.

Matthew: This is so fun!

Lara: Yeah! Let’s hope this plant doesn’t eat us!

Zhan Tiri flashed in.

Zhan Tiri: Hello, children!

Lara: And what do YOU want?

Matthew: Zhan Tiri, for the last time, I’m NOT joining your side!

Zhan Tiri smirked.

Zhan Tiri: Surely we can make some kind of arrangement…

Zhan Tiri snapped her fingers.

The deadly plant became huge and devoured Lara.

Matthew: NO!

Zhan Tiri smirked.

Zhan Tiri: Have fun trying to get Lara out of that plant. Your grandfather knows how to get it to spit things back up… but he won’t be telling you anything!

Zhan Tiri laughed evilly and flashed out.

Matthew: What do I DO?!

~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, in Lori’s classroom, Callie and the Bow were sitting next to each other.

Lori: And I have a special surprise for all of you!

Tyler A: If it’s another new student who Callie becomes infatuated with, I don’t want it!

Lori: What? Of course not! We’re all going to play a fun game!

Roger: A game?

Lori: Yep! We’ll all get to know each other a little better. So, come everyone. Gather around in a circle and I’ll tell you how it’s going to go.

The second graders gathered in a circle.

Lori pointed to Howie, who was sitting next to her.

Lori: Howie will start us off… and we’ll go all the way around.

Lori got out a card.

Lori: Howie, who in your family can you trust the most?

Howie: That’s easy! My sister, Athena! I tell her everything!

Lori: Now Alicia… What is your biggest pet peeve?

Alicia: Boys chasing me. And… Hugh Jr getting all the attention from my parents for being a genius.

Lori: Now Ashley… What is your dream job?

Ashley: That’s easy! Model! No, wait! Instagram influencer! No wait… Pageant judge!

Lori: Okay! Now… Cadde, what is your biggest fear?

Cadde: Ohhh… there’s a lot… The dark. Failing. Ghosts. Getting sucked in quicksand… Vampires…

Cadde continued rambling on.

Lori: Okay! Next, Lucas. Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Lucas: Engaged to Alicia.

Lucas raised his eyebrows up and down at Alicia, who began looking uncomfortable.

Alicia: Uhhh, Mrs. Santiago…

Lori rolled her eyes.

Lori: Now, Ryan. What is your favorite food?

Ryan: That’s easy! Spaghetti and meatballs. Without garlic bread. Cause you know… Vampires.

Lori: ...Okay, then. Darla? What is your biggest wish?

Darla: That’s easy! That I’d get a pet giraffe! Though my dad won’t let me get one. My mom might, though.

Lori: Okay. And Roger… What is your best memory?

Roger: Wow! When my dads allowed Ricky and me to become the waitstaff at their restaurant! That was awesome!

Lori: And King Olly… What memory do you wish you could erase or take back?

King Olly: Well… trying to turn everything into origami back in the game… And… Almost hurting my sister.

Lori: And Olivia? What is your favorite animal?

Olivia: Wow. I like all animals now that I’m here in the real world. I can’t honestly choose one… But wait! Those cute little kittens at the animal shelter. They’re so cute when they just crawl up in my hair!

Lori: Okay! Now… Callie. Who is your biggest inspiration?

Callie: Oh, that’s easy! Everyone knows this. Zhan Tiri!

Everyone groaned.

Lori: Forget I asked. The Bow… What’s your real name?

The Bow looked embarrassed.

The Bow: The thing is… I don’t know. My parents never named me.

Lori: Okay, then. Tyler T… which is your dream college?

Tyler T: That’s easy! Stanford! Or Harvard. Or Yale. I don’t know, to be honest.

Lori: And Tyler Q, what is something you wish never existed?

Tyler Q: That’s easy. Prejudice and hatred!

Lori: How noble! Now Tyler B, who is your best friend?

Tyler B: That’s easy! The three other Tylers in this room!

The Tylers all high fived.

Lori: Finally, Tyler A… What troubles you the most?

Tyler A looked embarrassed, then mad.

Tyler A: Callie liking the Bow! There I said it! I can’t understand why! I… gotta go.

Tyler A rushed out of the room in tears.

Callie raised her hand.

Callie: Mrs. Santiago, mind if I be excused?

Lori: Go ahead.

Callie went out in the hall to see Tyler A in tears.

Callie: Tyler A, you know how things are with the Bow and me.

Tyler A got up and looked mad.

Tyler A: UGH! I know! You’re only friends with the Bow. That she’s like a sister to you. But I know you! I know what you’ll end up feeling! You’ll abandon me! You almost did when you started getting feelings for Zhan Tiri.

Callie: I did not!

Tyler A: You CANCELLED our picnic date!

Callie rolled her eyes from underneath her hair.

Callie: You’re STILL on that? Didn’t we also have two sushi dates at R&R’s Great Eats?

Tyler A: Yes. But you missed half of the Violetta series during our sleepover that one time! What were you doing?

Callie: I was out with Zhan Tiri.

Tyler A looked upset.

Tyler A: I knew it…

Callie: Because she and I planned to destroy Varian and Cassandra before you asked about the sleepover. You wouldn’t understand.

Tyler A: You’re right. I don’t understand. What happened?

Callie: You let your jealousy get to you. Know I’ll still love you even if I do have another crush.

Tyler A sighed.

Tyler A: Fine. I’m really sorry.

Tyler A hugged Callie.

Callie: Now let’s get back to Mrs. Santiago’s class before we get in trouble for ditching.

Tyler A: Yes! Let’s go!

Callie and Tyler A hugged again and went back into Lori’s classroom.

At the House of Yesterday’s Tomorrow, Matthew was pacing around.

Matthew: What do I do? Lara’s trapped in that plant! Oh, why did grandfather have to conjure up a human eating venus flytrap?!

Tromus walked in.

Tromus: Matthew, you would not believe what happened!

Matthew: Lara got trapped in one of your weird plants?

Tromus grinned.

Tromus: She did?!

Matthew: YES! Zhan Tiri came by and trapped her in there!

Tromus: Then she did very well. I must be going. Corona won’t conquer itself!

Matthew: But grandfather! How do I get Lara out?

Tromus: That is not my problem! Now goodbye.

Tromus flashed out.

Matthew looked more panicked.

Matthew: Ohhhh… what do I do?!

Just then, Varian, Cassandra, Victor, Ginny, and Toby entered.

Varian: We heard there was trouble with Lara.

Matthew: It was Zhan Tiri! She trapped Lara in a vicious plant of my grandfather’s!

Cassandra: Yep. Sounds like Zhan Tiri. We must get Lara out of there!

Victor: Now where is that killer plant?

Matthew: In the basement.

Ginny: The...basement?!

Toby: Don’t worry. Hold Dad’s hand, close your eyes, and you’ll be fine.

Ginny nodded.

Matthew: Follow me…

Matthew headed down to the basement with the Millers following.

Matthew: The plant is right over here…

Matthew pointed to a very large green plant, which looked like it got even larger.

Matthew: Well, here it is! It’s-

Matthew noticed it to be much larger.

Matthew: MY WORD, it’s HUGE!

Cassandra: I can take care of this!

Cassandra began to shoot black rocks, but Matthew stopped her.

Matthew: Shooting black rocks would hurt the plant… and Lara!

Cassandra: Oh. Right.

Varian: Then I guess it’s up to the two alchemists! Right, Toby!

Toby: Right, dad!

Varian and Toby both got out some potions.

Varian: These potions mixed together will create a reaction where the plant will just burp Lara out in a little bubble and unharmed!

Matthew: Oh, thank goodness!

Varian and Toby went up to the plant, which was sleeping with it’s mouth open.

Varian: Oh, this is so easy!

Toby: Yeah...shhh…

Varian and Toby poured their potion in the plant’s mouth.

The plant woke up and burped.

Lara came out unharmed in a bubble.

The bubble popped as the Millers and Matthew caught her.

Lara: Where am I? What happened?

Cassandra: You’re safe!

Matthew: No time to explain, but you were inside that plant.

Matthew pointed to the plant, which suddenly got much smaller.

Lara: I was inside… THAT?!

Cassandra: Because of Zhan Tiri.

Lara: That figures. Why does she hate everyone?!

Matthew: Well, she doesn’t like us to be friends, Lara. Well. I’m sorry. But we WILL be friends forever, and I don’t care about what my grandfather and Zhan Tiri have to say!

Lara: I couldn’t agree more!

Varian: Then let’s all go have a celebratory dinner at the Snuggly Duckling!

The Miller kids and Matthew (in unison): Oh, yeah!

The Millers and Matthew headed out.

Zhan Tiri saw everything.

Zhan Tiri: They may have won this time. But I’ll get my revenge on that stupid family… And Matthew too!

Zhan Tiri laughed evilly and teleported out.

At the playground in Royal Woods Elementary, Callie, Tyler A, and the Bow were sitting by the kickball field.

Callie: And Tyler A has something he wants to say to you…

Tyler A turned to the Bow.

Tyler A: Well, I’m sorry. The Bow, may you and Callie stay great friends.

Callie: And nothing will ruin our relationship, Tyler A.

The Bow: I’m very glad you were able to work things out. Tyler A, we’ll be great friends. Won’t we?

Tyler A: Maybe. But Callie, you know I’ll always love you. And I’m sorry if I get jealous a little sometimes…

Callie blushed.

Callie: Oh, you’re always the one I love!

Callie gave Tyler A a hug and kissed him on the cheek, as Tyler A blushed.

The Bow: You two really are the cutest.
