## Transcript:

On a Friday morning, David and Greg were sitting in their history class awaiting their teacher.

David: This will be the best history class yet!

Greg: You know it will! Cause Mr. Thompson had us do fun reports and a really personalized history class for us!

Mr. Thompson, the history teacher came into the room.

Mr. Thompson: Class, I have an exciting project for everyone!

Tony: Are we finally going to learn about famous actors from the 1930’s?

Danny: What about the first LGBT rights movement?

Matt: Ohhhh, that HAS to be discussed at some point!

Mr. Thompson: No. We’re going to do a project about our ancestors...and their greatest mistakes.

Lisa: Ohhh, I got this one in the bag! Matthew betrayed his friend to appease some demon, and Lance tried making his best bud marry some possessive she-beast!

Winston: Puh-lease! I know she’s near flawless, but Rapunzel’s made PLENTY of mistakes before!

Anti-Goldie: Too bad my dad never told me about our ancestors. Oh well.

Foop: Well, I know all about MY ancestors.

Goldie whispered to Foop.

Goldie: The Anti-Fairy council doesn’t count, Foopie. Remember the last time!

Foop: Oh… I know.

Mr. Thompson: Now. This is worth 100 percent of your grade. You’re going to need to apply this information in your own lives. Really see what mistakes your ancestors make and learn from them to not repeat history.

The class looked confused, and a little worried.

Mr. Thompson: Don’t worry! This is an individualized based project, however you may work with a partner. But now we read the first chapter of how man invented fire to survive…

~ ~ ~

At lunch, David and Greg were sitting together.

David: We’ve got this in the bag!

Greg: We do?

David: Yeah! We’ll just time travel to Varian and Cassandra’s time. Remember how Zhan Tiri manipulated Cassandra to take the moonstone and betray Rapunzel?

Greg: I do.

David: We go to THAT timeline and use that for our report.

Greg: I think I like where you’re going with that! And then we get Cassandra back to normal and change her destiny!

David: Yeeeah...we really shouldn’t rewrite history. Cassandra obviously DOES snap out of Zhan Tiri’s manipulations... You’ll see.

Greg: Oh, I know!

Lisa went up to David and Greg’s table.

Lisa: I’m going to need some help with MY report… Lola insists about writing about Matthew’s big mistake, but I wish to write about Lance...cause...he’s more sympathetic than Matthew.

David: Just… Do both!

Lisa: How am I possibly going to fit BOTH ancestors into one report?

David: Well, I don’t know. But you’re smart too. You’ve got this!

Lisa: Ya know what? I do.

Lisa left.

David: Now to think about how we’re going to write OUR report about Cassandra after we leave her time…

Greg: I think I have an idea…

After school, David and Greg rushed home, where Robert and Riley were preparing sushi.

Robert: David! Greg! Pull up a chair!

Riley: We’ve made sushi!

David: Tempting. But we need to go to 1501 to get information for our report.

Robert: Well, be sure to give our wonderful ancestors a plate full of Robert and Riley’s sushi!

David: Well, we would… but I don’t know how well it will travel 100 years ago…

Greg: Come on, David! This report won’t write itself!

David and Greg left.

Robert: David and Greg are awesome brothers!

Riley: And I’m so glad we’re living together WITHOUT Mandee and Jackie judging our every move!

Robert and Riley hugged and then kissed.

In David and Greg’s room, David and Greg were packing some essential items - their phones, a pad of paper, pencils, their computer, and a big binder.

Greg: Okay. I think we’ve got everything.

David: And let’s not forget the wrist-watches!

David grabbed his wrist-watch on his desk and turned it on.

Greg: To 1501!!

A portal appeared and sucked David and Greg in.

~ ~ ~

David and Greg landed headfirst into the Dark Kingdom, the neighboring kingdom to Corona.

David: What are we doing here?

Greg: I don’t know! Where’s Cassandra?

They kept walking some more, and found Cassandra, Varian, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Lance inside a big castle.

Cassandra: It means that I'm Gothel's daughter, and your destiny belongs to me.

Rapunzel: If I’m really to believe you’re Gothel’s daughter, then it makes us closer than friends! It makes us SISTERS!

Cassandra: SISTERS?! My mother abandoned ME for you! I was cast aside - FOR YOU! No more!

Cassandra ran off.

Rapunzel: Cass! Wait!

Rapunzel ran after Cassandra.

David and Greg observed this and went up to Varian, Lance, and Eugene, who observed everything and looked shocked.

David: Varian!

Lance and Eugene looked offended.

David: Oh, and Eugene and Lance.

Varian: What brings you two here?

David: School project.

Eugene: Honestly, though. Cassandra turned her back on Corona! I wish I knew why!

Lance: Does it even matter? Cassandra’s probably far gone now!

Varian: You know, I refuse to believe that! If I can redeem after I nearly threatened Corona because my dad was trapped in the amber… Cassandra can come back to Corona and be friends with Rapunzel.

Varian took out a small box.

Varian: ...and marry me.

David: It’s sweet you wanna propose…

Greg: But are you sure she’ll go for it? NOW?

David: Let’s find Cassandra, okay? And get some answers for our report!

Greg: Alright! I hope she’ll be receptive to US!

David: Oh, she will be. She adores us.

David and Greg left.

Varian: They sure are brave.

Eugene: I know! They don’t know what they’re getting themselves into!

~ ~ ~

David and Greg found Cassandra over by a stream.

A blue figure came out and headed towards Cassandra, who was trying to summon black rocks.

The Ghostly Girl: Cassandra, you’re doing wrong…

Cassandra looked defeated.

The Ghostly Girl: These rocks respond to fear. You need to tap into your deepest anger and hatred to fully control the black rocks!

Cassandra: But I don’t think I can do it.

The Ghostly Girl: You might wanna consider what Rapunzel did to you. Use that and you’ll be more powerful than you ever know…

David and Greg went up to Cassandra.

The Ghostly Girl vanished.

David: Heeey, who were you just talking to?

Cassandra looked startled.

Cassandra: Nobody! I mean! Who are you? I mean…

David: It’s me, David!

Greg: And Greg!

Cassandra looked mad.

Cassandra: YOU. Can’t you see I’m rather occupied at the moment?

The Ghostly Girl returned and whispered in Cassandra’s ear.

The Ghostly Girl: Make these two boys regret ever coming here!

Cassandra proceeded to shoot black rocks towards David and Greg.

David: What the-?

Greg: Cassandra! This isn’t you!

Cassandra laughed rather psychotically.

Cassandra: It ISN’T, is it?! Oh, I WILL follow my own destiny! Rapunzel WILL regret casting me aside! THE WHOLE WORLD WILL!

Greg: Come on, David. Let’s get out of here…

David: But-

Greg: Come on!

Greg took David’s hand and then both of them left.

The Ghostly Girl came out again.

The Ghostly Girl: I understand your pain and frustration. People like David and Greg don’t understand what you’ve been through.

Cassandra: They really don’t.

The Ghostly Girl: Which is why you’ll benefit from my lessons…

~ ~ ~

At the Dark Kingdom castle, David and Greg looked panicked.

David: That CAN’T be Cassandra!

Greg: I know! Who WAS she talking to?

David: Well, remember when we traveled to later this year in junior high?

Greg nodded.

David: And who Cassandra was talking to…is Zhan Tiri. In a ghost girl form.

Greg: I KNEW it! Uggghh! Why is Cassandra SO blind?

David: Let’s go forward in time a few months later. We can expose Zhan Tiri AND get Cassandra back.

Greg: Oh, I’m IN!

David turned on his wrist-watch and a portal appeared again.

It sucked up David and Greg.

~ ~ ~

A few months later: September 1501

David and Greg ended up in Cassandra’s stronghold she made that month.

Rapunzel, Eugene, Varian, and Lance were confronting Cassandra yet again.

Rapunzel: Cassandra, I KNOW this isn’t you! I want you back!

Cassandra: Oh, you DO, do you?!

Varian: Listen to me! You’ve lost your nerve! This isn’t you!

Cassandra: Corona WILL fall! I WILL NOT be cast aside again! I WILL find my own destiny!

Eugene: Come on, Cass! Even though you’re a bit...temperamental...you’re a good friend! So come back to us!

Lance: Yeah! This is crazy!

The Ghostly Girl came out again.

The Ghostly Girl whispered in Cassandra’s ear.

The Ghostly Girl: Finish them off once and for all!

Cassandra proceeded to shoot out black rocks towards Varian, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Lance.

Varian: Rapunzel! I got the third incantation! Use it!

Varian tossed a scroll to Rapunzel.

Rapunzel read the incantation on the scroll.

Rapunzel: Power of the sun

Gift me with your light

Shine into the dark

Restore our fading sight

Rise into the dawn

Blazing star so bright

Burn away the strife

Let my hope ignite

Let hope ignite

Cassandra began to look weaker.

The Ghostly Girl came out again.

The Ghostly Girl: You don’t have to take this! Remember that other incantation I taught you?

Cassandra nodded.

Cassandra: Crescent high above

Evolving as you go

Raise what lies beneath

Let the darkness grow

Bend it to my will

Consume the sunlight's glow

Rise into the sky

Let darkness grow

Let darkness grow

As Cassandra and Rapunzel were both saying their incantations, a big portal began to appear.

The Ghostly Girl levitated up to it and got sucked inside.

David and Greg burst inside.

Greg: AH-AH! I knew it!

David: Cassandra! Come with us!

Cassandra: What IS your PROBLEM?!

David and Greg both grabbed Cassandra and took her to an outside view.

That same portal opened up again.

Zhan Tiri came out in her true form.

Cassandra: Oh great…

David: Yeah. You NEED to go out there and stop her!

Cassandra: But -

Greg: Just go!

Cassandra headed outside and went up to Zhan Tiri.

Zhan Tiri: Finally!! The clash of Sun and Moon has released me from my prison. It's good to be back.

Cassandra: Yeah, it IS, isn’t it?

Zhan Tiri: Cassandra! Oh good! You need to help me with one last thing. And I say you’ve mastered your powers!

Cassandra: Yeah. And another change of plans…

Cassandra used her moonstone powers to make a little black rock cage surrounding Zhan Tiri.

Cassandra: I’m done with you!

Cassandra left Zhan Tiri.

Rapunzel, Eugene, Lance, and Varian observed everything.

Rapunzel: I KNEW Cass wasn’t lost forever!

Varian: Now must be my big chance!

Eugene: Maybe. But she might need some time.

Lance: Good luck!

Varian, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Lance all headed out.

David and Greg went up to Zhan Tiri, who was still trapped in the black rock cage.

David: I knew it was you, Zhan Tiri, who manipulated Cassandra.

Greg: I hope you’ll enjoy that black rock cage.

David and Greg left.

Zhan Tiri: Oh, I will…

Zhan Tiri shot out lightning bolts and escaped the cage.

Zhan Tiri: They’ll ALL regret trying to stop ME!

Zhan Tiri laughed evilly.

~ ~ ~

At the castle, David and Greg were writing out their report.

Zhan Tiri went up to them.

Zhan Tiri: You know… you two boys look familiar…

David: Gee. I wonder why. You’ve only been harassing us for 7 years now!

Greg: Every time we travel to this specific date!

David: Or a few years after it!

Greg: You’re ALWAYS there!

David: It’s like you’re stalking us.

Zhan Tiri chuckled evilly.

Zhan Tiri: Ohhh, boys. I’M not stalking you… YOU keep stalking ME!

Greg: Really?! We just wanted to see Cassandra…

David: And write our report on her biggest mistake.

Greg: Which was obviously trusting you.

Zhan Tiri took a glance at David’s notes and Greg’s computer.

Zhan Tiri began reading the notes.

Zhan Tiri: “Cassandra is our ancestor who’s made a big mistake in the year 1501… She got manipulated by a demon girl named Zhan Tiri and-”

Zhan Tiri grabbed the notes.

Zhan Tiri: HOW CUTE! Well, look what happens when they suddenly DISAPPEAR!

Zhan Tiri shot out a fireball, burning the notes.

Greg: NO!

David: Our A+!

Zhan Tiri: Good luck going to college now, BOYS!

Zhan Tiri laughed evilly and teleported out.

David: Great! And our backup notepad is at home!

Greg: Let’s go.

David: And let Zhan Tiri win? No way!

Greg: Maybe she’s right. We HAVE been wasting too much time here. We should just go home and try to remember what we wrote previously and hope for the best.

David sighed.

David: I guess you’re right. Besides. Varian and Cassandra would probably end up stopping the demon.

Greg: Right?

David turned on his wrist-watch and a portal opened up again.

The portal sucked David and Greg into it.

~ ~ ~

Back at Robert and Riley’s house, David and Greg landed in their room.

David: Man, that was crazy!

Greg: Yeah! Mr. Thompson said the report’s due Monday soon as we get back to school!

David: We’d better get writing it now so we’ll have the weekend to enjoy ourselves.

Greg: But… we made such a GOOD report! Zhan Tiri ruined it! I don’t think I’ll be able to remember what we wrote.

David: Don’t worry. I video taped EVERYTHING that was happening in 1501. Zhan Tiri didn’t ruin my phone, thankfully, cause I always keep it hidden from any possible nut like her.

David took out his phone and played a video.

Greg: WOW! You got everything! The manipulation of Cassandra, her betraying Rapunzel and Varian, Zhan Tiri’s return - EVERYTHING!

Greg started looking disappointed.

Greg: But Zhan Tiri destroyed our computer.

David: Not to worry. Because last Christmas, Robert and Riley gave me a computer as a backup.

David took out a brand new, never used laptop from under his bed.

David: We just put the video here and project it on Mr. Thompson’s projection screen!

Greg: I think I like that plan!

David and Greg high-fived.

~ ~ ~

Monday morning, in Mr. Thompson’s class, everyone had out their reports.

Tony was reading his report.

Tony: And my great, great, great, great grandfather, Shorty proved to be a formidable ally to the people of Corona nonetheless!

Mr. Thompson: Interesting report, Tony. Next up, David and Greg.

David: Okay, so we don’t have a written report…

Greg: A psychopathic demon girl in 1501 destroyed it…

Everyone laughed.

David: Anyways… enjoy this movie!

David hooked up his computer to Mr. Thompson’s projection screen.

The video David recorded in 1501 was playing.

David and Greg sat down.

Tony: You REALLY went to 1501 and met your ancestor?

David: Right we did, Tony.

Winston: I wish I had a time machine!

Greg: You’re rich enough… pay someone to invent it.

Winston: Can YOU do it?

Greg chuckled.

Greg: Nice try…

The video ended.

Mr. Thompson: Very interesting report boys! It was like I was ACTUALLY there!

David: So?

Mr. Thompson: I liked it a lot! B+. I expect to see the written report on my desk tomorrow to make it an A.

David and Greg shrugged.

David: That’s okay! We got this!

Greg: Totally!

David and Greg high-fived.
