Disaster on Trying to Impress Yzma/Reflection

*(As soon as Serena and the four girls bowed down behind their opened parasols in front of a house, the front doors barged open, revealing an old woman with light purple skin and red nails, and wearing makeup, a pair of blue flat stoned earrings, a curly purple hat, a black sleeveless dress with a turtleneck exposing her chest and back, and black sandals, That is Yzma, the matchmaker that Serena is meeting with to impress her and that she is working hard on. As soon as she emerged with a flat, nonchalant look, Yzma pulled out her notepad and brush and read out Serena's full name)*

Yzma: Makino, Serena.

*(Serena stood straight up excitedly, emerging from behind her parasol and closing it)*

Serena: Present!

Yzma: (Sighs flatly, nonchalantly) Speaking without permission.

*(Feeling embarrassed upon hearing Yzma say that, Serena winced a bit)*

Serena: (Winces a bit, slapping her face in embarrassment) Oops.

*(Then she walked up to the doors with Yzma. Watching this, Serena's group, Granny, and Grace got calmly aghast as Yzma's cranky, nonchalant behavior)*

Granny: (Whispering to Serena's group and Grace, aghast) Who spit in her bean curd?

Serena's group and Grace: (Whispering with a shrug) We have no idea.

*(Once inside the house, Yzma closed the doors and then looked closely at Serena for inspection as Serena stood in a polite poised position like a lady, feeling calmly nervous)*

Yzma: Hmm.... Too skinny.

*(She scoffs as she turned away to write some notes)*

Yzma: (Writing her notes) Not good for bearing sons.

*(As Yzma continued writing her notes, Kirby opened the door to his cage upon smelling something delicious nearby. Noticing a small Malay sponge cake sitting on the side table nearby, where the smell is coming from, Kirby quietly floated over to it like a balloon by holding his breath and as soon as he landed in front of it, he got excited to eat it)*

Kirby: (Whispering happily and hungrily) Poyo....

*(The only one hearing him, Serena gasped quietly and, in a panic, quickly ushered Kirby to get back in his cage. Confused by that gesture, Kirby then happily inhaled the sponge cake whole and ate it. Shocked and concerned, Serena immediately snatched Kirby up as soon as he finished eating and hid him behind her. On cue after she hid him, Yzma turned to her and spoke)*

Yzma: Recite the final admonition.

*(Doing what Yzma asked, immediately pulled our her Chinese fan and began reciting while Kirby snuck off in happy quiet curiosity)*

Serena: Fulfill your duties, calmly and....

*(She peeks underneath her dress sleeve towards her notes, only to find the ink all smudged on her arm, and, calmly nervous, she tried to remember the words she practiced before while hiding her smudged notes back in her sleeve while still holding the fan up)*

Serena: (Nervously) Respectfully. Um, reflect before you snack.... *(Realizes, then nervously corrects herself)* Act! This shall bring you honor and glory.

*(She nervously fans herself a bit with her fan, chuckling nervously a bit. Suspicious, Yzma grabs Serena's note-filled arm and and took her fan to see any cheat notes, but to Serena's relief, she didn't find any notes. Then Yzma dragged Serena to a nearby table)*

Yzma: This way.

*(As soon as they arrived as the table, Yzma released Serena's arm, her hand's entire palm covered in black ink, yet Yzma didn't even know it. Then as Serena sat at the opposite side of the table, Yzma picked up a white porcelain teapot filled with tea and placed it on the table, still not noticing the ink smudge on her palm. Noticing the ink smudge, Serena stared in calm shock and silence, not saying a word)*

Yzma: Now, pour the tea. To please your future in-laws, you must demonstrate a sense of dignity....

*(Yzma then rubbed her ink-covered fingertips on her face around her mouth, and the ink residue left by her fingers formed into a shape of a thin lined beard and mustache, yet Yzma did not realize it. As Yzma continued, Serena stared at her in surprise that she accidentally poured the tea on the table at first, but then she saw the tea spilled on the table and quickly poured the tea into a white porcelain teacup instead)*

Yzma: (Continuing) And refinement. You must also be poised.

*(Suddenly, Serena noticed Kirby, hidden under the table, peeking at the teacup, happily getting ready to try out some tea. Then Yzma picked the teacup and got ready to drink the tea as Kirby, concerned on not being able to drink some tea, quietly went after her. Noticing in concern, Serena tried to get Kirby's attention)*

Serena: (To Kirby, softly) Um, pardon me...?

Yzma: (Rudely, thinking Serena is talking to her) And silent!

*(Serena pipes down nervously. Then just as Yzma is about to drink her tea, Kirby was about to take the teacup when Serena intervened nervously, gently grabbing at the teacup)*

Serena: (Nervously) Could I just take that back? One moment.

*(Surprised, Yzma got calmly impatient and soon began tugging with Serena over the teacup when Serena accidentally slipped the teacup out of her grip and spilled all the tea onto Yzma's cleavage section of her dress, staining it wet with tea and even accidentally knocking Yzma down from that, shocking and concerning Serena. Even Kirby, noticing this, got shocked and concerned as well)*

Yzma: (To Serena, angrily recovering) Why, you clumsy...!

*(Kirby jumps in front of Yzma in concern, startling her and making her fall down again, this time landing her rear onto a nearby firepot, burning her rear. Then Yzma began jumping up and down, screaming and trying to put the smoking coal stains off her rear, spreading smoke everywhere. Grabbing her fan, Serena quickly tried fanning the rear when it bursts into flames, making Yzma scream in a panic even more. Outside, everyone heard the commotion and got concerned)*

Granny: (Whispering in sarcasm, chuckling a bit with Serena's group) I think it's going well, don't you?

*(Then the doors bursted open and, as smoke flowed out of the house, Yzma emerged, panicking as her rear continued to burn as Serena ran out in concern, carrying the teapot)*

Yzma: (Panicking) Put it out! Put it out! PUT IT OUT!!

*(Serena immediately splashed the tea into Yzma, dousing the flames finally and even melting off her mascara and ink smudge. As soon as it all calmed down as the smoke cleared away, Yzma then stood there, in tranquil fury. Feeling embarrassed, Serena returned the teapot to Yzma and after giving a bow, she walked back to Grace, Granny, and her group. Kirby followed suit, feeling nervous and guilty for accidentally humiliating Serena, and then after jumping back into his cage, he quickly closed it. Then Yzma finally stormed up to Serena in a fury and screamed her head off)*

Yzma: (Angrily, throwing the teapot onto the ground) You are a disgrace! You may look like a bride, but you will never bring your family honor!

*(Then with that, she stormed off back into her house. Feeling sorry for Serena, who sadly hung her head in shame, Serena's group, Grace, and Granny frowned angrily at Yzma's direction, and then patted Serena's shoulders in comfort. Later, back at the Makino residence at the stables, Serena returned with her group and Epona, still feeling sad and ashamed. Volteer exited the rear door, giving a hopeful look that reads "Did it go well?" Noticing that, Serena, still feeling sad and ashamed, gently ushered Epona back to her stable with her group's help. As soon as they dropped Epona off into the stable, Serena's group exited the stables and then Serena, upon looking at her reflection in the water trough, sang her heart out)*

Serena: **Look at me**

**I will never pass for a perfect bride**

**Or a perfect daughter**

*(As she took her earrings and jade beaded necklace off, she then watched Grace explain to Volteer what happened, causing him to give a look of sympathy as he looked at Serena. Then Serena's group walked out to the garden entrance as Serena removed Kirby's cage and let Kirby out)*

Serena: **Can it be**

**That I'm not meant to play this part?**

*(Then Serena left with her group into the garden as Kirby followed her in calm silence and sympathy, feeling guilty for humiliating Serena)*

Serena: **Now I see**

**That if I were truly to be myself**

**I would break my family's heart**

**Who is that girl I see**

**Staring straight back at me?**

**Why is my reflection someone I don't know?**

*(Serena's group watched Serena go into the ancestor's temple shrine and she then bowed down to the shrine)*

Serena: **Somehow I cannot hide**

**Who I am, though I've tried**

**When will my reflection show**

**Who I am inside?**

*(Then she used her dress' sleeve to wipe off all over makeup, cleaning her face off. Then she removed her comb and then untied her bun, letting her hair down)*

Serena: **When will my reflection show**

**Who I am inside?**

*(As soon as she finished her song, she got up, walked out of the shrine, and sat on a nearby stone bench, rolled the rims of her sleeves up to her wrists. Joining her, Serena's group spoke up reassuringly as Serena began to gently fiddle with her hair)*

Blossom: Never mind what Yzma said about you.

Serena's group except Powerpuff Girls: (Agreeing) Yeah!

Bubbles: Yeah, she just doesn't even know your true self.

Buttercup: And if she won't see it, then she can just...!

*(Suddenly, they noticed Volteer approaching in sympathy. Serena, after contemplating her group's comforting words, gave a soft smile)*

Serena: Sorry, Father, for letting you and our family down.

*(Volteer smiled softly in return. Then he seated next to her and they looked at the cherry blossom tree sitting near them with some of its branches over them)*

Volteer: It's fine. And look, what beautiful blossoms we have this year.

Serena: (Agreeing) I'll say.

*(Even Serena's group nods in agreement in calm happiness)*

Fluttershy: May we hopefully have a good scent of cherries in the air.

Pinkie Pie: That's my favorite part.

Mane Seven except Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie: And mine.

Bubbles: (Noticing a cherry blossom bud) Um, there's a bud right there.

(The others noticed as well with soft smiles)

Serena: A little late for that, huh?

Volteer: That's right. Yet, I bet when it will eventually bloom, it will be the most beautiful of all.

*(He gently placed Serena's comb onto Serena's hair over her right ear)*

Volteer: And I'm sure that you, Serena, will bloom into a perfect beauty eventually.

*(Feeling calmly confident, Serena smiled softly)*

Serena: Thank you.

*(Suddenly, they heard some drums beating from afar in their village, confusing them)*

Serena: What's going on?

*(Then they got up to go see what's up)*

***Coming up: After Squidward gives Volteer a recruit prescription scroll to join the army to fight the Huns and even, under a soldier's silent urging, hiring Serena's group, except Serena, to be the army nurses to accompany Volteer. Then when Serena and her group realize in concern and fear that Volteer is too crippled and old to go to war, they soon decided to let Serena take matters into her own hands for him, the Makino Family, and their country, no matter the dangerous risk.***
