## Transcript:

On a Monday morning, Callie was reading her Zhan Tiri book during morning recess.

The Tylers went up to Callie.

Tyler A: Can you help us with something?

Callie rolled her eyes from underneath her hair.

Callie: Here it goes…

Tyler B: Would you help us raise a million dollars to help protect endangered elephants?

Tyler Q: They’re all about to go extinct because people are killing them for their tusks.

Callie glared at the Tylers.

Callie: Does this LOOK like I care?

Tyler T: Let’s get out of here. She doesn’t appreciate the beauty of living things…

The Tylers left.

Callie’s heart began beating.

Callie: What-what’s going on?

She began to blush.

Callie: I must be sick… I gotta see the nurse.

~ ~ ~

Callie went into the nurse’s office.

The school nurse, Isabelle, rolled up to Callie.

Isabelle: What seems to be the problem?

Callie: I think I might be sick…

Isabelle grabbed a thermometer and stuck it in Callie’s ear.

It beeped.

Isabelle: You’re not sick, Callie. There isn’t some spelling test you want to get out of...is there?

Callie: No! But my heart’s been beating and I’ve been blushing.

Isabelle: Say no more. That’s a clear sign that… You’re in love!

Callie: LOVE?! Gross!

Isabelle: Yep! I displayed those signs when I first met my fiance, Beau. As well as my good friend, Lola.

Callie: But I CAN’T be in love! Who would I possibly be in love with?

Isabelle shrugged.

Isabelle: I don’t know. But you’re about to be late for your next class!

Callie nodded, and left.

~ ~ ~

Callie entered Lori’s classroom.

Lori: You’re late, Callie. Is there anything wrong?

Callie sighed.

Callie: No…

Callie sat down in her usual seat by Tyler A and Tyler Q.

Tyler A whispered to Tyler Q.

Tyler A: Is there something up with Callie?

Tyler Q: Probably being her usual weird self like always.

Callie shouted out.

Callie: YOU KNOW WHAT?

Lori: Is there a problem?

Callie slunk down in her seat.

Callie: No…

Lori: Okay. Now, where was I…

As Lori continued teaching, Callie kept staring at Tyler A.

Tyler A noticed this and whispered to Tyler Q.

Tyler A: Why is Callie staring at me? It’s kinda creeping me out…

Tyler Q: I don’t know! We should focus on Mrs. Santiago’s lesson.

Tyler A: Gladly.

Callie sighed dreamily.

During lunch, Callie wouldn’t eat the hamburger and french fries on her plate.

Cadde noticed this and went up to her.

Cadde: What’s wrong?

Callie: I don’t know. I have this weird lump in my throat and I keep blushing and my heart keeps racing...and oddly enough…it’s all because of Tyler A!

Cadde’s eyes widened.

Cadde: You have a crush on Tyler A!

Callie: Don’t be ridiculous. I HATE Tyler A and his snooty, fake band of loyal followers!

Callie began smiling.

Callie: But his hair. It’s so… right.

Callie grumbled to herself.

Callie: UGH! Nurse Isabelle was RIGHT! I DO like Tyler A! And this feeling HAS to go!

Cadde: You know, Tyler A isn’t THAT bad. He’s rather nice. I bet you’d be happy together.

Callie sighed.

Callie: Unfortunately…

After school, Callie still had Tyler A on her mind.

Poof, Anti-Goldie, and Junior were watching a movie.

Poof: Callie! Come watch The Willoughbys with us!

Callie: Pass.

Anti-Goldie: What’s wrong? I thought you LOVED this movie!

Junior: Here’s that “funny” part you like when the kids planned to send their parents to meet their doom like you’ve always liked.

Callie: No thanks. Mrs. Santiago assigned a new homework assignment I really need to get started on.

Callie rushed to her room.

Poof: Weird. Callie NEVER rushes to do her homework.

Anti-Goldie: Something’s up…

~ ~ ~

In Callie’s room, Callie began pacing around.

Callie: I can’t like Tyler A! I can’t like ANYBODY! I’m BAD!

Poof came into Callie’s room.

Poof: Is there anything wrong? You wouldn’t even see the Willoughbys!

Callie: Will you PLEASE leave? I’m NOT in the mood!

Poof: Okay… But if there’s anything you need to talk about, don’t be afraid to come to your mother and me.

Poof left.

Callie: Yeah. OR I could go to 1520 to see the great Zhan Tiri. Surely SHE’LL distract me from that… Tyler A.

Callie snapped her fingers and suddenly vanished.

~ ~ ~

In Corona in 1520, Callie landed at the Corona castle.

Callie: Now… Zhan Tiri…

Callie began walking and bumped into Varian and Cassandra.

Callie: SHOO! I need to find Zhan Tiri!

Varian: Right. Her. Callie, we’ve told you billions of times, she’s NOT your friend.

Cassandra: She’s literally a shape-shifting demon out to destroy the world!

Callie: I don’t care! Now move!

Callie pushed past Varian and Cassandra.

Varian: Looks like SOMEBODY could use some consoling…

Cassandra: I wonder if Lizzie will ever stop by here again…

~ ~ ~

Callie stopped at Zhan Tiri’s Great Tree.

Zhan Tiri stepped out and noticed Callie.

Zhan Tiri: Well, well, well…

Callie: Zhan Tiri! We need to have a talk!

Zhan Tiri: Oooo, goody! So, how’d those pathetic Tylers take us crashing their party last month?

Callie: They were miserable…

Callie began blushing.

Callie: But… I kinda like Tyler A now.

Zhan Tiri looked shocked.

Zhan Tiri: You DO?! He refused to invite you to his birthday party! That snob must die!

Callie: I know. THAT’S the problem! You’ve been in love. How’d that work out for you?

Zhan Tiri: If you’re referring to my no-good ex-husband, Jorgen Von Strangle, then you know EXACTLY how it went.

Callie: I know. But...did YOU feel different when you started crushing on him?

Zhan Tiri: Well, I did blush a lot. And then my heart began racing. And then… Oh, I think you could only imagine.

Callie: That’s exactly how I’M feeling! I can’t like Tyler A! He’s not right for me!

Zhan Tiri took Callie’s hands.

Zhan Tiri: You, Callie Fairywinkle, are a strong, independent girl. You don’t need anybody. All you need to do is help me destroy the world.

Callie looked up at Zhan Tiri, and then began blushing.

Her heart began racing again.

Callie: Uh...uh...Yeah. Right. I gotta go.

Callie ran out of the Great Tree nervously.

Zhan Tiri: Was it something I said?

Zhan Tiri shrugged.

Zhan Tiri: At least Callie gets what I’m saying. I hope.

~ ~ ~

Callie ran past Varian and Cassandra, and hid in the corner of the castle.

Varian and Cassandra noticed this and went up to her.

Varian: Something go down with Zhan Tiri?

Cassandra: It’s clear she’s manipulating you and you don’t want to do any of her evil schemes.

Callie: But… She’s not! I LIKE Zhan Tiri!

Cassandra: Yes. I know you like Zhan Tiri. You CONSTANTLY worship her.

Varian: Yeah! You love what she does for you. Is that it?

Callie: Well… I...love her love her. You know… like you two love each other.

Cassandra and Varian looked at each other, then began laughing.

Callie: See. I knew I was crazy. I’m outta here!

Callie ran away, and flashed out.

Cassandra: No, wait! Callie!

Cassandra turned around to see Callie already gone.

Varian: What did we do?

Cassandra: This is exactly like how I reacted when I was questioning my feelings towards you!

Varian: Yep. Like it was yesterday!

Varian and Cassandra hugged.

~ ~ ~

Callie arrived back in her room in 2049.

Poof and Anti-Goldie went in.

Poof: Callie, I know there’s something bugging you.

Anti-Goldie: You know, you can always tell us.

Callie sighed.

Callie: Fine. I like someone.

Callie sighed again.

Callie: Like more than a friend.

Poof and Anti-Goldie looked at each other and squealed.

Poof: Our little one has her first crush!

Anti-Goldie: Tell me! Who is he?

Callie gulped.

Callie: Well. He...and she.

Poof and Anti-Goldie looked confused.

Poof: She?

Callie sighed.

Callie: It’s Tyler A...AND Zhan Tiri. I’m smitten with both of them!

Anti-Goldie: That’s… beautiful. Isn’t it, Poofie?

Poof began crying.

Poof: YES!

Callie and her parents hugged.

Junior went in.

Junior: Uhhh… Did I miss anything?

Anti-Goldie: Nothing much. Other than that our little one has her first… CRUSHES!

Junior: Oh, sweet! I KNEW you weren’t totally heartless, Callie! Way to go!

Junior patted Callie on the back.

Callie: Yes. But telling them how I feel will drive me insane.

Junior: Just be brave! You got this!

Poof: We support you 100 percent!

Anti-Goldie: Ditto.

The Fairywinkle family hugged.

The next day at school, Callie went up to the Tylers.

Callie: Tylers, I have something to say!

Tyler A: Well, if it isn’t Callie. Here to rub it in that you ruined my sensational 7?

Callie: No… It’s a matter between me and Tyler A only.

Tyler B: Well. Be careful, Tyler A.

Tyler Q: If you don’t play this right, she’ll kill you.

Tyler T: Catch ya later, bud.

The rest of the Tylers ran off.

Tyler A crossed his arms and looked sternly at Callie.

Tyler A: Yes? What is it, Callie?

Callie blushed.

Callie: Well… Tyler A. I like you.

Tyler A looked surprised.

Tyler A: You LIKE me? Come on, Callie. For months, you’ve always bullied me and my fellow Tylers for no reason at all. And for what? Being kind and compassionate people?

Callie began crying.

Callie: I know! I don’t know what’s wrong with me! At some moments, I hate you. I can’t stand you. I wanna destroy you...BUT at another moment… You’re cute. I love you. And…

Callie blushed.

Callie: Will you be mine?

Tyler A looked shocked.

Tyler A: Wow. I don’t know what to say… but…

Tyler A began to blush.

Tyler A: Sure. I’d love to be yours.

Tyler A took Callie’s hand and kissed it.

Callie began to blush...but not because of Tyler A this time.

Tyler A: Why don’t we have a nice picnic at my place after school?

Callie wasn’t paying attention.

Callie: Yes. But there’s something I must do first…

Tyler A: Whatever you say. Catch ya later, Callie.

Tyler A left.

Callie: Surely I can now tell Zhan Tiri the same thing I told Tyler A. This will be exhausting…

Callie snapped her fingers and flashed out of the playground.

~ ~ ~

Callie landed in Corona.

She could see Zhan Tiri arguing with Varian and Cassandra.

Varian: NO, Zhan Tiri! We’re NOT letting you get the sundrop and moonstone!

Cassandra: YOU’VE caused enough damage!

Varian: WE are outta here!

Varian and Cassandra stormed off.

Zhan Tiri turned around and noticed Callie.

Zhan Tiri: Callie! You heard everything, didn’t you?

Callie: Why do you let them treat you like that? I’d just take that sundrop and moonstone and destroy those two wannabes.

Zhan Tiri: You’re...RIGHT!

Callie: And Zhan Tiri, I have something I wanna tell you.

Zhan Tiri: Okay. Spill. But be brief. I need to tutor Matthew on everything there is to know about destroying Corona.

Callie blushed.

Callie: Well… I like you, Zhan Tiri.

Zhan Tiri rolled her eyes.

Zhan Tiri: I KNOW you like me, Callie. Please. Give me something new.

Callie: I mean. Like more than a friend. Like more than a mentor. Like… How you and Jorgen were before, you know, he betrayed you.

Zhan Tiri looked stunned.

Zhan Tiri: So… You’re saying… You… Like me romantically?

Callie: Yes.

Zhan Tiri: Oh. I’m flattered. Really. I am. But… I’m NOT in the mood to have a relationship...especially with someone so… young. I’m sorry.

Callie started to cry, but held her tears in.

Callie: Oh. Okay. I must go. Get back to school.  I don’t wanna be late for Mrs. Santiago’s class again.

Callie burst into tears and flashed out.

Zhan Tiri looked guilty.

Zhan Tiri: What did I do? I hope she doesn’t hate me for this…

~ ~ ~

Callie made it in Lori’s classroom.

Lori: Callie, you’re late again.

Callie wiped a tear off her face.

Callie: I know. It won’t happen again.

Callie sat down.

Cadde turned around and noticed Callie.

Cadde: So? How are you and Tyler A doing?

Callie: Fine.

Cadde: Something wrong?

Callie sighed.

Callie: I’ll tell you after class…

Cadde nodded and turned around again.

Callie (to viewers): Though Zhan Tiri doesn’t feel the same way...I should be glad Tyler A feels the same way about me. He really is something special. I shouldn’t let him go.
