## Transcript:

On a spring day, Lizzie was on her phone calling Clyde, her neediest patient.

Lizzie: Sorry, Clyde! But you’re going to have to deal with your dads leaving town for a week yourself. I got a ton of other clients I’ll meet with!

Greg overheard and went in.

Lizzie noticed him come in.

Lizzie: I’ll call you back, Clyde. Just invite Lincoln, Chandler, and Cody over for an epic video game competition!

Lizzie hung up.

Lizzie: Greg! What is it?

Greg: I have someone who’s in need of your assistance…

Lizzie: Really? Who?

Greg: Cassandra, our ancestor!

Lizzie: Really? How do you possibly know?

Greg: I just got back from 1501. Yeah, turns out she’s been manipulated by some ghostly demon girl...Zhan Tiri. We need to go back in time to snap her out of it before she destroys Corona!

Lizzie: But I am swamped with clients! Clyde won’t stop panicking about his dads leaving. Sorry, Greg. But you’re on your own. Try asking David for help!

Greg: I can’t! David just decided to ditch me for a trip to the planetarium with Lisa, Foop, and Goldie!

Lizzie sighed.

Lizzie: Fine. But only for an hour. I have more clients in an hour.

Greg: Great!

He turned on his wristwatch and a wormhole appeared.

Lizzie: Woah!

Greg and Lizzie both got sucked into the wormhole.

Greg and Lizzie went head first in Corona in September of 1501.

Lizzie: So this is Corona… I expected it to be way sunnier…

Greg looked around.

Greg: Well, it does look kind of decollete. I’m sure we can find Cassandra, though…

Greg and Lizzie kept walking and found an enormous tower.

Greg: Woah. When’d that get here?

Lizzie: I say we just keep walking until we find Cassandra. I can’t waste too much time here.

Greg nodded as Varian, Rapunzel, and Eugene were walking by.

Varian: This is the place?

Rapunzel: Yes! I am sure to get my best friend back! Cass has to take me back!

Eugene: I dunno… It’s pretty high up. How are we going to get in?

Just then, a hole in the wall appeared.

Eugene: Like that, I guess! Let’s go!

Varian, Rapunzel, and Eugene went inside.

Lizzie: Okay! Now that we found an entrance, let’s go help Cassandra and get back home!

Greg: What’s the rush? We could explore Corona with Cassandra AND Varian once we help her!

Lizzie: ...I dunno…

Greg: Let’s go up and see Cassandra first!

Lizzie: Alright!

Lizzie and Greg both went into the tower.

After a while of searching, Greg and Lizzie found where Cassandra is.

Rapunzel: Cassandra! I know you’re still in there! It’s me, Rapunzel!

Varian: And Varian!

Eugene: And Eugene!

Rapunzel: So, Cass… Can we talk?!

Cassandra turned around and looked annoyed.

Cassandra: Rapunzel. You have to go. Now.

The ghostly girl, Zhan Tiri came out and whispered in Cassandra’s ear.

Zhan Tiri: Take their heads off.

Cassandra proceeded to shoot black rocks at Rapunzel, Eugene, and Varian.

Eugene: Okay! That’s it! We tried! Let’s get out of here!

Rapunzel: No. Wait. I believe Cass is still in there!

Varian: Yeah! I’ve loved her for years. Surely we can get her back.

Eugene: Oh sure! But I’m leaving!

Eugene left.

Cassandra: It was a mistake coming here, Rapunzel.

Zhan Tiri whispered in Cassandra’s ear again.

Zhan Tiri: Finish those two once and for all!

Cassandra shot out black rocks again, this time, nearly crushing Varian and Rapunzel.

Rapunzel: Cassandra-let us go!

Varian: This-isn’t the girl-I fell in love with!

Cassandra removed the black rocks off of Varian and Rapunzel.

Rapunzel: Let’s go, Varian. It’s clear she doesn’t wanna talk.

Varian: Yeah! Let’s catch up to Eugene!

Rapunzel and Varian left.

Zhan Tiri stepped out and looked dissatisfied.

Zhan Tiri: Cassandra. You were supposed to destroy them! What happened?

Cassandra looked scared.

Cassandra: I...don’t know. They were too...fast.

Zhan Tiri: I see I have to implement some other measures...

Lizzie and Greg saw everything and headed in the room Cassandra was in.

Lizzie: Cassandra?

Cassandra: Wait - who’s this? You look familiar. And how do you know my name?

Greg: It’s me, Greg! Cassandra, Lizzie here wants to help you.

Cassandra: Greg! Last time we met, you said I was your...ancestor.

Lizzie: Cause you are! Look, we don’t have much time, but I came to help you.

Greg: Lizzie is a licensed therapist…

Lizzie looked at Greg with uncertainty.

Greg: Okay. So Lizzie WANTS to be a licensed therapist… And well, she wants to help you stand up to Zhan Tiri!

Just then, Zhan Tiri came over to them.

Zhan Tiri: You kids don’t know who you’re messing with…

Lizzie: So you’re the ghostly demon girl messing with my ancestor’s mind? Well I won’t have it! So please just leave while I help Cassandra out!

Zhan Tiri: You think I’m going to take orders from some dumb kid?!

Greg: There’s grapes in the other room with your name on it. ...and I’ll feed them to you.

Zhan Tiri: Oh, that sounds good! But a quick word to Cassandra alone…

Lizzie: Uhhh…

Lizzie and Greg stepped aside.

Zhan Tiri: Cassandra. Surely, if you let Lizzie brainwash you, I can’t go so easy on you anymore. Your precious little Corona will experience its first eclipse and you and your friends will be in serious pain.

Cassandra: Don’t worry. I know my duties.

Zhan Tiri: That’s a good girl. Now I gotta go and swallow a bunch of grapes with my name on it.

Zhan Tiri took Greg’s hand.

Zhan Tiri: Now, boy. Show me the grapes.

Greg: ...Right this way.

Greg led Zhan Tiri out of the room.

Cassandra looked scared.

Cassandra: Lizzie, ya gotta help me! Get Zhan Tiri off my back!

Lizzie: Okay, first I need you to tell me… How’d you and Zhan Tiri even come in contact with each other?

Lizzie took out her notepad and pen.

Cassandra: Well, she was the one who showed me who my mother was. At first, I thought she was doing me a favor, but really she’s been using me to destroy Corona! She wanted me to betray Rapunzel. She thought Rapunzel would get in the way of her plans. She acted like a guardian to help me find my destiny, but really she’s an evil, manipulative demon who wants to destroy Corona! When I found the missing mirror shard from my mother’s cottage at the bottom of this tower, I knew Zhan Tiri was behind it! So I called her out - turned out she wasn’t some innocent ghost girl and she’s been playing me this whole time! I tried to make amends with Rapunzel, but I sensed Zhan Tiri pulling the strings so I would never reconcile with her! She is RUINING my life!

Lizzie wrote all of this down.

Lizzie: I see now. Now tell me… Who’s your mother?

Cassandra: You HAD to open that can of worms? Well, my mother. My mother. Abandoned me when I was only 6 years old. She kidnapped Rapunzel when she was just a baby just to use for her hair. Yes. You heard it correctly. HER HAIR. Mother wanted to stay young and “beautiful” forever. So she used Rapunzel’s hair, which is the Sundrop. Zhan Tiri took advantage of this story, and wanted me to steal the Moonstone so I can proclaim my destiny. But I’m not happy. I turned away all my friends, and the love of my life. Varian cares a lot about me. And I care a lot about him...but Zhan Tiri is trying to drive a wedge between me and all my friends. Especially Varian and Rapunzel!

Lizzie wrote this down as well.

Lizzie: Wow! Now what are your feelings about Zhan Tiri?

Cassandra: Well… I hate to say it… But… I HATE that manipulative demon girl! She’s totally controlling me and I can’t stand for it anymore! I want her OUT of my life for good! I want my life to go back to the way it WAS before I met that psychotic WITCH!

Cassandra began crying.

Cassandra: But if I even try to stand up to her, she’ll threaten Corona! I’ve been trying to get on her good side so she wouldn’t destroy everything I already cared about. But…

Cassandra cried some more.

Cassandra: It’s hopeless. Zhan Tiri will just keep getting what she wants and continuing to push me aside. Just like my mother did.

Lizzie patted Cassandra on her shoulder.

Lizzie: It is NOT hopeless. You gotta be brave. Tell Zhan Tiri you won’t stand for her abuse and cut ties from her. I had a similar problem with my old best friend before I met Jenni. She was really controlling, bossy, and wouldn’t let me have any other friends. She spread rumors about my other friends and acted like they were the bad guys. But I decided it wasn’t worth keeping her around because my mental health began to suffer. But Zhan Tiri seems like she won’t quit, but even the meanest, evilest of bullies has their own insecurities. Maybe Zhan Tiri has one you don’t know about. I advise you to talk to her. Say you don’t want to support her anymore and just go back to your friends. If she threatens you, your friends, and Corona, fight back with all your heart. I know you’re incredibly brave. Just speak your mind and speak from your heart.

Cassandra perked up.

Cassandra: I couldn’t thank you enough, Lizzie. I’ll do it!

Lizzie: Great! Now I must get back to my own time. I have deadlines that I can’t miss!

Lizzie looked up at Cassandra.

Lizzie: And good luck.

Lizzie gave Cassandra a hug, as Cassandra smiled.

Lizzie: Well. Bye. I hope to check in with you at another time to see how you did standing up to Zhan Tiri.

Cassandra: Bye to you too. I sure hope this works.

They both hugged one last time, and Lizzie left.

Zhan Tiri came in and noticed Cassandra.

Zhan Tiri: So? Did you do what I told you?

Cassandra: About that, Zhan Tiri…

Cassandra whispered everything to Zhan Tiri.

Zhan Tiri looked mad.

Zhan Tiri: YOU WHAT!?! YOU WILL PAY!

Lizzie and Greg could hear Zhan Tiri’s scream from outside.

Lizzie: Well. I’m glad Cassandra was able to speak her mind.

Greg: But she might destroy Corona! And kill Cassandra’s friends and Varian!

Lizzie: True. But I’m glad she gained the courage to speak her mind.

Greg: Yep! Now let’s get back home. I know how much your clients mean to you.

Lizzie: Yes. But they can wait. How about we explore more of 1501?

Greg: That’s a great idea! I heard of a wonderful pub called the Snuggly Duckling...all their food is free!

Lizzie: Intriguing…

Greg and Lizzie left Cassandra’s tower and headed towards the Snuggly Duckling.

Cassandra looked down from her tower and smiled.

Cassandra: I’m lucky to call Lizzie my great, great, great, great granddaughter.
