Episode 5: The Group

**Opening:**

(After the opening, the episode began with a close-up on Elmore Junior High, the class was usually supposed to be taught by Miss Simian but she was absent so Miss Brownie, the assistant principal, taught the class. She asked for quiet in front of two boys who were waiting in front of the blackboard Apparently, they are new).

Mrs. Brownie (using her authority to enforce silence): Quiet, please! I have two new students to introduce to you (quieter). Students, this is Worris Crimson and Freddy Firefly. I would just ask you to make room for them and to integrate them as best as possible. (to herself) It's really getting crowded in here...

Madison (raises her hand) Ma'am, Jessy and I are changing schools tomorrow, we have to move to a different town...

(Jessy, sullen, turns her head in disappointment and mutters to herself.)

Jessy (looking sad): But I'm not changing schools, me...

Carla and Gumball: WHAT?!

Mrs. Brownie: SILENCE! To punish you, you'll both get two hours of detention and a homework due tomorrow!

Gumball (flabbergasted): Excuse me?!

Carla (sulking): Pfff! When the baboon's away, the furry slug will play...

Cordelia (to Madison): It sucks that you're leaving...

Madison (throwing a victim): Yes... Sob sob...

Bubblegum (direct): I don't really care!

Madison (shocked): What?

Bubblegum (looking at Worris with heart-shaped eyes): He's SOOO cute, the new guy!

Worris (not caring): "Cute" yourself.

Bubblegum (overjoyed): Kyaaa! He said I was cute!

Penny (almost laughing): Oh Ho! Bubblegum is in love...

Harry (with popcorn): Interesting.

Mrs. Brownie (to Madison and Jessy): Can you tell me where you're moving to?

Jessy (polite): To ...

Madison (cheerful): To Sweet Little Love!

Melody (jumps out of her chair): Seriously?! I'm the crown princess of this kingdom! I'm so happy! You'll see, it's a great kingdom!

(Lumière tries to calm her friend down as best she can. The class continued like this and when it was over, Andy noticed that his girlfriend, Jessy was in a very bad mood and looked sad too. So he decided to go and comfort her).

Andy: Uh... Jessy, are you okay? I'm really worried about...

Jessy (cold): What's wrong with you? Get out, I don't want to talk!

Andy (shocked): Huh?! Can I know what's wrong with you? You're really weird today!

Jessy (disappointed): See? When Madison talks like that, people think she's normal, but I don't...

(Andy felt even more sorry for her and didn't let go, he stayed with her and made sure she could talk.)

Andy (putting his arm around her shoulders): What's the matter, you don't want to talk to me?

Jessy (stares at the floor): I'm sorry, but I'm sick of it. It's because of Madison, I think. I've always been used to being her "shadow"... But these days, I can't take it anymore. She thinks we're a match, but I'd like to exist as "Jessy" and not as "Madison's sister. (She smiles and takes on a sorrowful tone, poking her head out at Andy) Do you also are ... (she notices that he is no longer there and is looking through a window) I COULD INTERESSE YOU IN WHAT I SAY WHEN I TALK TO YOU !!!

Andy (calm but at the same time urgent): Oops! I just remembered that Carla asked us to join her,... and I see she's mad! (takes Jessy's hand and runs) Let's hurry!

Jessy (exasperated): Pfff...

(Andy and Jessy enter the playground from behind so they don't get into any more fights with Carla but she didn't look pissed and she looked pretty, uh... excited? Andy was going to join his brother and Jessy was going to talk to Carla.)

Jessy (hesitates): Uh... Carla? Did you want to tell me something?

Carla (very strange and takes on a psychopathic look) : Ha Ha Ha! Yes... Something very important... (enthusiastic and raises her arms to the sky) WE ARE GOING TO CREATE A GROUP!!!

Jessy (shocked and confused) : ... A ... group? ...

Carla (going crazy, moving around): Yes, a group! We're all friends here!!! No betrayal is allowed: all united against the enemies! ONE FOR ALL! ALL FOR ONE!!! (quickly returns to Jessy) Are you walking with us? -pleeeeeease!-

Carla (horny) : Yes, a group! We are all friends here!! No betrayal is allowed: all united against the enemies! ONE FOR ALL! ALL FOR ONE!!! (quickly returns to Jessy) So, does it work? Pleeeeeeeease!

Jessy (completely lost): Uh... Yes, why not, but if we want a proper group, we have to...

Carla (fully committed): Friends? People we can trust? Ha ha! Jessy, your dear Carla thinks of everything! Look here.

(Jessy saw that Carla's madness had no limits and that she had called in a veritable mini army. Here were Carla's friends: Cordelia Gumball, Darwin, Zach, Penny, Haden, Carrie, Sapphire, Melody, Light, Freddy, Madison -and Jessy-, Harry, Andy, Bubblegum and Worris).

Jessy: Oh, there are the new ones too? Are you joining us too?

Worris (in a mean tone): The " new ones" have a name.

Jessy (shaking): Yes... yes! Uh ... I meant, uh ... Worris and Freddy...

Cordelia (reassuring): Don't worry, Worris is very nice.

Worris (not caring): Very nice yourself.

Cordelia: And Carla invited them, so now they're our friends!

Jessy (with a drop of water): About Carla ... why is she so... so excited?

Cordelia (with a pout of disgust): Oh that... It's because of "The Legendaries", a comic book she's crazy about. One of the volumes was released yesterday in France and she managed to get it today. She's so addicted to it that she went back and forth from France to Elmore just to buy it; it's HORRIBLE!

Carla (singing in French): The Legegendaries (Hey!) They're all gonna win!!!

Jessy: And... who likes that?

Everything else: NO ONE!

Carla (throws the book away and regains her seriousness): Anyway, that's not all but we need a name for our group.

Madison: The Love Squad!

Bubblegum: The Suicide Squad!

Darwin: The Team Aqua!

Haden: The Super Agency!

Melody: The King's Troop!

Carla (trying to calm them down): Not all at once!!!

Zach: You know the goal is to find a name that everyone likes?

Carrie (in a sarcastic voice): We know, what we want is an IDEA!

Freddy (realistic): It's going to be hard if you're so selfish...

Saphir (desperate): Here we go again...

(The commotion had been interrupted by a strange sound emanating from the tree under which they had gathered. Saphir wondered what it could be, and they went to look together. When they were all under the tree, a halo of light came from it, the foliage hiding something apparently beautiful as they all had their heads and eyes fixed on it.)

Saphir: It's... Beautiful!...

All together: ... THE NAME WILL BE "THE DREAM TEAM"! ! !

Worris (who has regained her enthusiasm): The "Dream Team." That's a great name!!!

Haden: Yeah!

Carla (a bit of a killjoy): Uh, I don't want to ruin this moment of excitement, but we really need to come up with something pretty hard.

Cordelia (fearful -and mostly naive-): What?

Carla (serious): An archenemy!

Madison (provocative): Uh... won't your brain get a little mushy from the Legen-truc? Don't make fun of us!

Carla (red-eyed and enraged): What did you call the Legendaries?

Cordelia (trying to calm her down): She just means that everyone here hates Kate and Kelly... and the Legendaries too! (actually, no, she's provoking her too)

Carla (sad): You don't like the Legendaries either?

Cordelia: Clearly not.

Carla (sulking): You're stupid!

Harry (cheerful): And that's it! There's no captain?

Melody: No, we all agree that there is. Otherwise, we'd all be fighting to be and it would never end.

Darwin (sulking): But I WANT to be the leader!

Carla (off stage): Before we close the ritual and inaugurate our group, I need to talk to you about something.

Harry (grumbling): Rhaaa! We've had enough of your Legendaries!

Darwin (same): We don't like them!

Penny: Shh! I think it's important.

Carla (in a monotone voice): Jessy, do you remember what I told you earlier?

Jessy: Right? Tell me what?

Gumball: What are you talking about?

Cordelia (in a weak voice) Oh no, I know that look...

Carla (face hidden by a shadow): "No betrayal is allowed: all united against the enemies!"

Bubblegum (a little startled): What are you getting at?

Carla: If I gathered you together, it's because I have immense confidence in you,... And also because you are my friends! If one of us betrays us, there will be consequences. This person will then become our ENEMY! (you can see she's crying) And me, I love you all !!!

(Suddenly, we hear a noise of slap. We then realize that Madison had just hit Carla. Carla falls to the ground and Madison looks at her with red eyes full of tears.)

Madison (crying and screaming at the same time): STOP TELLING YOURSELF THAT AND LISTEN TO ME!!! (continues crying) Who can I talk to about Gumball? Who can I thank for bringing us together? Who can I respect for being my guardian angel? You may think we will betray you, well I can guarantee you that we will NEVER let you down!!! YOU ARE ESSENTIAL IN MY LIFE, ARE YOU UNDERSTAND ???!!! (Stop crying and pick up Carla who was on the ground) ... And that will NEVER change!!!

(The others were left speechless.)

Carla (smiles): So, what's going on with you? You seemed so sure of yourself when you hit me.

Madison (huddles with Carla): Shut up, or I'll regret apologizing...

Penny: It's about time to end this ceremony.

The others: YEAH!

(all raise their fists to the sky)

The Friends: The Dream Team: ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE!!!

(While the voices of the Dream Team members gradually fade away, the camera moves closer and closer to a tree under which the 18 members had found refuge. The tree in question had a strange green stain).

Madison: Carla, I didn't hurt you, did I?

(We can now see the letters "K" and "W" on it).

Carla: If you really, but REALLY want to hurt me, hit me very harder!

(There was then a transition from the playground to Kate and Kelly's room. They seemed to be paying attention and listening to something through a microphone. This "green spot" on the tree was actually a microphone that was meant to spy on the 18 protagonists)

Madison (voice into a microphone that Kate is holding): Hey, don't get smart, I just didn't want to hurt you!

(Kate breaks the microphone.)

Kate: Grrrr!

Kelly (calming the mood): Carla created a group to hurt us, it's cute!

Kate: Believe me when I tell you that WE'RE going to start a band too... (at the same time that Kate speaks, we see a black furry cat with a red and white streak, and she wears a red sweater with a small chip removed on the front of her neck, she is in a plane. This same girl looks through the window with greed and whispers softly "I'm back, Elmore...) even if we have to go to the end of the world to do it!

Kelly: Did you forget? We are now part of a prestigious personal guard.

Kate (taking the purple cape of the Omeris): ... Yes, that's right...
