## Transcript:

Lisa and Darcy were on their way to the Loud house after school.

Lisa: Darcy, you got another F?

Darcy: Counting's just SO hard!

Lisa: It really isn't.

Darcy: Maybe to you. But I can't fail first grade! I almost failed kindergarten if it weren't for you and David helping me every day. Oh, and also Ms. Shrinivas.

Lisa got an idea.

Lisa: That's it! You could get a tutor. I happen to know a quite good one.

Lisa and Darcy arrived to Lisa's house and went in.

Hugh was tutoring Lincoln again.

Lisa: Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln. I see you STILL get distracted over pretty teachers.

Lincoln looked annoyed.

Lisa: And hey, Hugh. How's it going?

Lisa blushed.

Hugh: It's going quite fine, Lisa. And who's your little friend?

Lisa: This? This is Darcy.

Darcy: HI! Do you wanna see Raffo?

Darcy started to take out her stuffed giraffe when Lisa stopped her.

Lisa: No one wants to see that. Especially not Hugh.

Lincoln: Do you mind, Lisa. Hugh and I were TRYING to get some work done.

Hugh: It's okay, Lincoln. We could take a little break.

Lincoln: But this is the biggest test of the year! Mr. Miller requires absolute precision...and I don't even know what the definition of matter is!

Hugh: Very well, Lincoln. Lisa, do you mind?

Lisa rolled her eyes.

Lisa: Not at all.

Lisa sighed.

Lisa: I guess Darcy and I will take our cause elsewhere.

Lisa and Darcy left.

Lincoln: Finally! Now where were we?

Meanwhile, Lisa and Darcy were up in Lisa's room.

Darcy was touching all of Lisa's experiments, to Lisa's annoyance.

Lisa: Darcy, cut it out!

Darcy sat down on Lisa's bed.

Lisa: Okay. You know why we're here.

Darcy: I really don't.

Lisa: Well, since Hugh won't tutor you, I shall do the best I can.

Darcy looked confused.

Lisa: Why before you know it, when you're through with me, you'll have the entire periodic table memorized!

Darcy: The what?

Lisa rolled her eyes.

Lisa: Anyways... Let's get to work.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Hugh was still tutoring Lincoln.

Lincoln was fast asleep.

Hugh: LINCOLN!

Lincoln woke up suddenly.

Lincoln: I'm sorry! This is so boring!

Hugh: I asked you if you wanted a break.

Lincoln: Well, I don't need one! This is going to be on the test!

Lincoln pointed to the entire textbook that was in Hugh's hands.

Hugh: Okay. Very well. I have an idea.

Lincoln: What's that?

Hugh: I need to have a word with your sister. In the meantime, try to study this page.

Hugh pointed to a page that said "Photosynthesis."

Lincoln: Okay, okay.

Hugh handed the book to Lincoln and left.

Meanwhile, Darcy was mumbling to her stuffed giraffe while Lisa looked exasperated.

Lisa: For the love of Pythagoras! This will be on the test!

Hugh entered Lisa's room.

Hugh: I might be of assistance.

Lisa: Finally you considered!

Hugh: I did. Darcy, you could benefit from my tutorage.

Darcy looked confused.

Lisa whispered to Hugh.

Lisa: Use tiny words when communicating with Darcy.

Hugh nodded his head.

Hugh: What I mean is... Would you like to get some studying done?

Darcy: Sure. Lisa's a great friend....but not a great tutor.

Lisa looked offended.

Darcy: Well, you know what I mean.

Hugh: Splendid! Then tomorrow afternoon, you and I will get some work done at the community college. The library there is really quiet.

Darcy: Yay!

Lisa: I better hope this will work...

~ ~ ~

The next afternoon, Darcy arrived at the community college.

Hugh was sitting at a big table.

Hugh: Are you ready to get started?

Darcy: Sure.

Hugh: Splendid!

Hugh took out a number line out of his folder.

Hugh: Now can you tell me what this is?

Darcy: A ruler!

Hugh: No, it's a number line. It'll help you with your counting.

Darcy nodded.

Darcy: Ahhhhh!

~ ~ ~

After a while, the tutoring was put on a major pause.

Darcy wasn't paying attention to Hugh at all. Rather, she was paying TOO MUCH attention to him.

Darcy: Has anyone told you how DREAMY you look?

Hugh blushed out of embarrassment.

Hugh: Darcy, this isn't part of the curriculum.

Darcy: I know... but no wonder Lisa said you're so fine.

Hugh started to get annoyed.

Hugh: You know what?

Hugh left angrily.

Darcy looked guilty.

Darcy: Uh-oh. I knew I messed up.

~ ~ ~

Lisa was in her front yard when Hugh came riding by on his bike.

Hugh didn't look too happy.

Lisa: What's wrong?

Hugh: It's Darcy! She's impossible to work with!

Lisa: Lemme guess. She kept showing you Raffo?

Hugh: It was worse than that! She kept FLIRTING with me!

Lisa: Well, she just observed you're a dreamboat. I could have told you that.

Hugh rolled his eyes.

Lisa: I tell you what. You give Darcy another chance...and maybe you could do something for me.

Hugh: What?

Lisa: Take me on a date to the planetarium.

Hugh: Well....

Lisa: If you don't give Darcy another chance, she'll fail and it'll be YOUR fault because you didn't help her.

Hugh: Okay, okay. I'll give her another chance. And a trip to the planetarium might be pretty fun!

Lisa smirked to herself.

Lisa: There you go!

Lisa and Hugh hugged.

~ ~ ~

Hugh arrived back at the community college.

Darcy was there looking a bit bored.

Hugh: Okay, Darcy. I'm giving you another chance.

Darcy: Sweet! And then we'll get married, have kids, and retire happily in Africa with all the giraffes!

Hugh: Listen. None of that is happening. We need to raise your grades in math and reading. Are you ready?

Darcy: I guess.

Hugh: That's the spirit!

Hugh sat down by Darcy and handed her a book.

After 2 hours of tutoring, Darcy looked satisfied.

Darcy: I think I finally got the hang of this! Thanks Hugh!

Hugh: It's my pleasure.

The next week, Lisa and Darcy were on the bus on their way home from school.

Darcy held up her homework that had a C on it.

Darcy: I can't believe it! I got a C!

Lisa: A C isn't the best grade in the world. However, it's not an F. I'm proud of you.

Lisa and Darcy hugged.
