First in Second/Transcript

(*The episode begins with Becca sleeping in her bed, Bella trying to wake her up*)

Bella: Becca? Becca?

(*A dream sequence begins*, *Becca is in a strange world*)

Becca: Huh, where am I? And where are The Spooky Stars?

(*Becca walks nervously around*)

Becca: You guys better not be trying to scare me...because you already are! Now get out and show yourself!

(*Suddenly, a giant hand appears* *as Becca screams*)

Becca: Get away from me you weird hand!

(*The hand grabs Becca and throws her away* *as she continues to scream*)

Becca: (*crying*) Stop! Please! STO-

(*Becca wakes up panting and finds hew paw glowing yellow where her element is*)

Bella: Oh, good you’re awake, I’ve made breakfast! Come along now, you don’t want to be late!

Becca: Late? Late for what?

Bella: Don’t be daft, Becca. Late for school! You’re going to secondary school today!

Becca: What!? Oh no, no, no, no, no! I completely forgot about that! Please, mum. Don’t make me go, I’m not ready!

Bella: I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do, dear.

Becca: Yes, there is! You can *not* take me to school!

Bella: Oh come on, your friends will be there!

Becca: Yeah b-b-but I’d rather go around to their house, not go to school, it’s boring and plus, I barely know the place!

Bella: Your friends will help you, you know how they’re like!

Becca: Yeah, exactly, they’re like me! They don’t know the first thing about Spookool! And we couldn’t go on the tester day because they had it cancelled!

Bella: You’ll get used to it, eventually. Come now, your breakfast will be getting cold!

Becca: (*sighs*) Yes, mum…

(*Later, in the car, Bella is driving and Becca is on her phone to the rest of The Spooky Stars who are also on the way to school)*

Hank: I can’t handle it, guys! I just can’t! It’s been too soon!

Pixie: We used to be the biggest people in school! And now we’re nothing...nothing but dirt in a field.

Pierre: Come on, don’t be like that! I bet it will be fun, even with the lessons… We’ll probably make new friends! Which will be good since we’ve basically been attached to each other since we first met.

Bo: Pierre’s right guys, there’s no need to worry! I’m sure everything will be fine… for the most part.

Bella: Put your phone away now, Becca. We’re here and you’ll have plenty of time to talk to your friends at school’s social time.

(*Becca walks out the car with a purple backpack on her, as she works towards the school nervously and soon encounters the rest of The Spooky Stars*)

Becca: So, we’re-

Bella: (*from the car*) Love you!

Becca: (*blushes and ignores her mother’s remark, continuing what she was saying*) So, we’re here...Spookool.

Hank, Pierre, Bo, Pixie: Yeah..

Angela: (*off-screen*) So are we.

Pierre: Oh no.

Hank: Not *them* again.

Amy: Yes, *us* again and you and your dummy crew will just have to deal with it.

Bo: Whatever, you’re not getting our powers though like you always try and do.

Andy Bangs: Pff, powers? Nah. Powers are just a cheap tactic to make weak people stronger.

Pierre: With or without powers, we’ll *always* be stronger than you!

(*The Spooky Stars hoot as the Spookool blush and walk away embarrassed*)

Louie Ladson: Way to go Andy, and also, did you mean what you said about not caring about their powers?

Andy Bangs: Obviously not! Those show offs will learn their lesson and they will learn the names of the Spookool bullies!

Bo: (*overhearing*) We already know your names dummies!

Eugene Krabs: He wasn’t talking to you, dumbutt!

Becca: At least we’re not money hungry crabs!

(*The Spookool bullies are fuming and rage into the school* *as The Spooky Stars laugh*)

Becca: Something tells me this year is gonna be alright.

(*The camera lifts to the sky showing The Spooky Stars logo and a tune of the theme song before cutting to black and then fading to the next scene*)

Mr. Matt: Welcome, one and all to Spookool! Please follow me to the sports hall, as you will be lining up and be organized into your school houses.

Hank: Houses? I already have a house!

Mr. Matt: No, your school house! Where you will be split into different groups!

(*The Spooky Stars look nervously at each other* *as they enter the sports hall and get their numbers cards*)

Becca: What did you get? I got one!

Hank: I got 1!

Pixie: Me too..

Bo: Uh huh!

Pierre: One for the win!

Spookool Principal: Aw, I love when friends get to stick together, now go line up with the rest of the students who got one right over there (*Points a staff member holding a 1 card*)

Pierre: Right, sir!

(*They all line up*)

Hank: What a relief! For a second there, I thought we were all gonna be split up! I mean it was convenient there were 5 groups, each and any one of us could’ve ended up in there!

Pixie: And that would’ve been scary...I can’t even think about how that would play out…

Bo: And you don’t have to! Because we’re not being split up!

Spookool Principal: Now, they will give you all timetables soon and you’ll get to see the educational subjects you’re doing over the course of the year, yay!

Bo: Oh yeah...learning…

(*The principal walks away*)

Becca: Hey, at least we have each other.

(*15 minutes later*)

Mr. Matt: Next!

Hank: Finally!

Bo: It’s like we’ve been waiting here for days!

Mr. Matt: Becca Bon Bon Sparkles?

Becca: That’s me!

Mr. Matt: Nice name!

Becca: Thanks.

(*Mr. Matt gives Becca her timetable*)

Mr. Matt: Hank Andy Hans!

Hank: Me, sir!

Becca: Hey, Pixie, we’ve got double English on Wednesday!

Pixie: Ooh, I love English! I can’t wait to express my feelings all in a piece of beautiful literature!

Mr. Matt: Pierre Birbell Paquet!

Pierre: Coming!

Hank: Did you say something about double English?

Becca: Yeah, we’ve got it on Wednesday.

Hank: That’s strange, mine says we have Design & Technology. Must be a weird error.

Pierre: Uh, guys.

Mr. Matt: Pixie Penny Piabeli!

Pixie: Uh, me…

Pierre: Mine says Science not English or Design & Technology.

Becca, Hank, Bo: What!?

Bo: This is getting more out of hand than just a weird error, someone *really* screwed up.

Mr. Matt: Bo Lithe Piabeli!

Pixie: Hey, it doesn’t say double English on my timetable, Becca! It’s on Thursday.

Becca: Nope, mine says Wednesday because someone messed up all the timetables and now each Spooky Star is assigned different classes, at different times!

Pixie: But...but..I thought we were in the same house a-and we were supposed to get the same classes!

Bo: I wish I could stick it to the guy who made this huge blunder, they must be some sort of di-

Mr. Matt: Hello, to all who are here, you will be in my tutor group meaning you need to come into a class every morning for 15 minutes before getting ready to learn!

Pierre: Even if we don’t have the same classes, at least we’re in the same “tutor group”.

Mr. Matt: Follow me, students!

(*Mr. Matt walks off as The Spooky Stars and the rest of the kids follow to the tutor room*)

Mr. Matt: First things first, I am Mr. Matt and welcome to Spookol! (*Writes his name on a whiteboard*) I can’t wait for you to get to know each and every one of our students and get used to attending here at Spookol!

Bianca: I’m just glad you’re letting us wear whatever we want...unlike our primary school.

Bo: That was outrageous! That uniform of theirs made me look like an anime girl!

Mr. Matt: Well, we don’t like to limit our students in terms of fashion and comfortability though, we do have our limits.

Becca: You just said-

Pixie: What kind of limits do you have on us e-exactly?

Mr. Matt: Oh, nothing much, only fancy, expensive makeup and a major hair dye.

Becca: Well thank goodness I don’t wear that much makeup, only a bit of eyeliner.

Pixie: I never really understood why people wear makeup in the first place..

Mr. Matt: Are there any more questions?

Hank: Yeah, uh, sir, we got different timetables even though we’re in the same “school” house”. Any reason for that?

Mr. Matt: Hmm, let me take a look at that...

*(He looks at their timetables)*

Mr. Matt: Odd, somebody must ha-

Announcement Speaker: All teachers must be bringing their Year 7 students out of the classrooms now for the tour, that’s all teachers bringing their Year 7 students for the tour, thank you.

Mr. Matt: I’ll have to deal with this later, so we’ll have to go on now.

(*Becca, Hank and Bo groan, Pierre slams his head on the table and Pixie metaphorically shrinks down in her seat*, *as Mr. Matt walks out the classroom and the rest of the class follow on. He goes outside and shows the class all of the rooms*)

Mr. Matt: Now students, these are the classrooms you will be in for some of your lessons, you’ll see which one you go in on your timetable.

Pierre: Speaking of timetables, can we talk abou-

Mr. Matt: You can tell which class you're going to by the code on the door which will also be shown on your timetable so you know which block, lesson and class you’re supposed to be in and when. Despite those classes being all of the ones *there*, they are only the classes in C block, the way to remember the blocks is that A is to the very left, B is in the middle and C is the very last, they all have the same class code system of course!

Hank: With the code system on our timetable, what about-

Mr. Matt: But blocks A, B, and C aren’t the only blocks, just the most major ones!

(*A title card appears reading “5 minutes of school explanation later…*)

Becca: Uh, what’s that room? (*points to a blue door*)

Mr. Matt: Ah, yes, yes, yes. The Meeting Hall! This is where you will have assemblies, gymnastics or parent meetings. It’s a very spacious room and is also sometimes used for exams for the older years.

Becca: What a good way to prevent claustrophobia.

Mr. Matt: I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not…

(*Becca facepalms*)

Mr. Matt: Anyway, now you briefly know the whereabouts of the actual school, let’s go outside!

Bo: Oh god, there’s more?

Mr. Matt: Yep, not much to bore you for *too* long.

(*Mr. Matt walks outside and the rest follow*)

Mr. Matt: So outside we have where you will be at Social Time for your year, years have seperate places. There’s a place for football, I’m sure at least one of you will like it!

(*Hank nudges Bo whilst smirking*)

Mr. Matt: There’s also this giant hill as you can probably see.

(*Camera pans on the hill right in front of them*)

Mr. Matt: And I think that’s it! But don’t worry if you forget, it’s a lot to take in! If you have any questions, by all means, please come to me! Now, let’s head back to class!

(*Mr. Matt leads the class back to the tutor room*)

Mr. Matt: We have an assembly video soon but until then let’s play a little game to get to know each other better! I’ll start. I have a car, I wear glasses, and I have two kids! Rachel, why don’t you go next?

Rachel: Well, I’m a robot! I don’t have many cool things a robot does though. And...I have pink hair!

Mr. Matt: Great, Bianca?

Bianca: Well, my mother taught me how to make clothes. I want to be a fashion designer and pop star when I’m older. Beauty means the most to me!

Mr. Matt: Cool! Who wants to go next?

(*Pierre starts waving wing*)

Mr. Matt: Go on...

Pierre: Yes!

Mr. Matt: Anchovy.

(*Anchovy wakes up from his desk*)

Anchovy: Huh?

Mr. Matt: Three facts about yourself.

Anchovy: Oh, uh. I like sleeping. I like eating. I like sleeping.

(*Anchovy falls asleep again*)

Mr. Matt: Right, Aurora?

(*Pierre’s faceplants on his desk*. *A few minutes later*)

Mr. Matt: Pierre?

Pierre: Whaddya want?

Mr. Matt: It’s your turn!

Pierre: Turn for what?

Hank: The game, dude!

Pierre: Oh, great!

Mr. Matt: Go on with your three facts.

Pierre: (*clears his throat*) My favourite colour is green, I’m a parrot, and for quite a while now, I’ve been waiting for you to check my time-

Announcement Speakers: All teachers to now play the assembly video, that’s all teachers to now play the assembly video. Thank you.

Mr. Matt: Sorry, Pierre. I’m gonna have to cut you off short there!

(*Pierre starting to go insane, screams and spins in mid-air, shooting acid everywhere*)

Rachel: Woah!

Bianca: Woah!

(*Anchovy wakes up again*)

Anchovy: Huh?

(*Pierre stops and starts panting*)

Mr. Matt: Pierre, that is no way to act! You could’ve harmed your students or class with..

(*The acid burns down his computer*)

Mr. Matt: Acid?!

Pierre: It’s my elemental power, remember? The one my parents told you about in an email!

Mr. Matt: Oh, I was never informed of this.

Pierre: Really? My parents did send you the email! I watched them do it! I even got it on video!

(*Pierre pulls his phone out and starts playing the video*)

Pierre: Hey guys, whatcha doing?

Strigo: Oh, hey there, Pierre. We’re sending an email to your new teacher about your elemental powers.

Pierre: Oh, you’re telling them how cool I am?

Strigo: Basically.

Pierre: Good job with that!

(*Pierre pokes Strigo and continues to do it*)

Strigo: Pierre, please stop.

(*Pierre keeps poking him*)

Strigo: Pierre. Pierre! *PIERRE!*

*(A sound from the laptop is heard*)

Strigo: What was that? Pierre what did you just press?

Pierre: Poke.

Strigo: That’s it! Go to your roo-

(*The recording cuts to static*)

Pierre: So yeah, he did send an email!

Bo: Actually dude, I think you accidentally hit the trash button.

Pierre: Oh, that would make sense.

Mr. Matt: Either way, that is no excuse to lash out and spread acid everywhere!

Pierre: I didn’t mean to, sir! It just accidentally happened out of rage!

Mr. Matt: (*sighs*) I’ll let you off with a warning this time, but if you do it again or in another class, you will get detention!

Pierre: Sorry, sir.

Mr. Matt: Now, please sit down!

(*Pierre realises he is standing on his desk*)

Pierre: Oh yeah, sorry.

(*Pierre sits down*)

Mr. Matt: Now, we need to play that video, it’s live and with that distraction we’re late!

(*Mr. Matt goes on his laptop and plays the video*)

Mr. Hillman: (*on a video*) About the timetables, apparently our staff have recognized an error. There are two groups of five with the wrong timetables, luckily it’s only that. The error was so mixed up that you ended up in the right tutor groups anyway but the classes you’re supposed to go to are all wrong. The said students are: Becca Bon Bon Sparkles, Hank Andy Hans, Pixie Penny Piabeli and Bo Lithe Piabeli.

Mr. Matt: Oh, we have none of those students.

Mr. Hillman: Missed one, we also have Pierre Paquet Birbell.

Mr. Matt: Oh yeah, you 5 please come here.

(*The Spooky Stars get out of there seats and walking to the top of the classroom*)

Mr. Hillman: The timetables you’re all swapping with are: Angela Astoria, Amy Rose, Andy Bangs, Euegene Krabs and Louie Ladson.

Pixie: Wow, so one of my rivals was gonna get double English on Wednesday,

Mr. Hillman: Wow, someone has double English on Wednesday and has to trade with them! Very lucky!

(*Pixie’s eyes broaden*)

Mr. Matt: Go on you 5, off to Mr. Hillman’s office.

(*The Spooky Stars walk out of the classroom*)

Becca: Finally, we got Mr. Matt to actually notice our wrong timetables!

Hank: Yeah, it felt like it was never gonna happen!

Pixie: I can’t believe our head hates English!

(*The Spooky Stars walk downstairs, they see the Spookol bullies also making there way to Mr. Hillman’s office, they all give each other the stink eye*)

Bo: Why did it have to be them.

Pierre: I suggest we make a flap for it!

(*Pierre flies over to the office, The Spooky Stars and Spookool Bullies follow him*)

Hank: Move!

Eugene: Get off!

Amy: Make way!

Bo: Go away!

Angela: Why don’t you!?

TSS and SB: WOAH!

(*The two groups fall over as Mr. Hillman opens the door. They still continue to scuffle*)

Mr. Hillman: Children, children! Cease your fighting! I suppose you lot have come for your new timetable!

(*The groups look at each other and help them up*)

Amy: Yes, we are indeed.

Mr. Hillman: Good, do come in.

(*Hillman walks the two in)*

Louie: Nice office, how much was it?

Mr. Hillman: It came with the school, anyway, let me get you lot to those timetables!

(*Mr. Hillman searches through his drawers*)

Mr. Hillman: Aha! Got them!

Pixie: Sir, quick question. Why do you hate English?

Mr. Hillman: Bah, I was never good at that.

(*Mr. Hillman hands the timetables to the 10*)

Pixie: I don’t think you should hate it!

Mr. Hillman: Well, we are all entitled to our own opinions!

Andy: Yeah, so stop whining!

Bo: Why don’t you stop whining!

Angela: We never whine!

Pierre: Oh yeah? What about-

Mr. Hillman: Enough! You all must return to your classes! I will be watching so don’t even think about fighting again!

(*The groups bumble to themselves and walk out of their office. Mr. Hillman then looks around the school which has been partially damaged due to The Spooky Stars using their powers when fighting earlier*)

Mr. Hillman: What on Planet S happened to the school?!

Becca: Gotta go!

(*Both groups run off screen. Episode ends*)
