High and Flighty

**High and Flighty** is the third episode of Dave & Friends.

## Plot/Full Story

New character Nadine Falls is taking flying lessons on a Block Airways jet with teacher Colleen Springs, who informs Nadine about a warning about terrorist-cell snipers operating across the country, although none of their fleet has been hit. Colleen has, however, spoken too soon, as this happens to them and Nadine falls back down to Earth. davemadson and Rhonda Raven are making out in their room when they hear a sonic boom outside. They look and see Nadine burned and bruised. They then take her to the hospital.

The next morning, Harvey Zilth gives a news update regarding the situation. We are transferred to new character Mitch Davidson, who gives a live report from outside the Franklin D. Flanigan Memorial Hospital. Colleen, he reports, was killed when the plane blew up, but Nadine is alive and in stable condition at the hospital. Mitch returns us to Harvey, who states that 37 people were aboard the aircraft and does not give names of the other victims until their relatives could be located.

In the hospital, Dave and Rhonda are looking after Nadine, who claims that she should be released as early as that afternoon. Rhonda remarks that this reminds her of the time she learned to fly and Kitty Hawkes tells her that this has happened to all her students. Rhonda knows that Nadine wants Kitty to look after her until she is ready to go, so she and Dave leave. In Hades, it is revealed by Satan himself that Colleen was Helena Stoker in disguise. Satan's sources say that Nadine may have committed sins against God Almighty and so assigns Helena and Vulcanna Ash to seek her out. The next day, Nadine is seen flying with Kitty. Nadine confirms that as long as she has the power Kitty gave her, she is ready to fly alone, which she finds fun. Nadine then tries landing but instead crashes into the brick wall of the davemadson enterprises inc. building. Microsoft Zira finds out about this and pries her loose.

Helena and Vulcanna are seen looking for Nadine from the air and decide to check the other side of the city. Dave and Rhonda are also seen flying. Rhonda tells Dave that Kitty and Nadine are getting on just fine, although Nadine still needs help with landing properly, and that there hasn't been a trace of snipers in the area. Sergeant C.J. O'Randolph then calls Rhonda on her wristband radio and tells her about Helena and Vulcanna. Rhonda promises to keep an eye on possible intruders in their building. Helena and Vulcanna are now at the davemadson enterprises building, only to find that nobody is there. Helena has a detector on her and their search for Nadine continues.

At Chez Monyou, Harvey introduces Nadine to tell everyone there her story. During her speech, Beulah and Abby English are shocked at what happened and wonder who shot the plane down. Microsoft Mike can't believe she learned to fly by herself and Microsoft Mary wants her to teach her to fly. Nadine concludes by thanking those who rescued her, although it would've been an improvement if Colleen were with them. Sergeant O'Randolph arrives and says that Dave and Rhonda were right to being Nadine to the hospital; if it hadn't been for them, she wouldn't have survived the crash. Harvey then brings the unfortunate announcement that Chez Monyou's feature attraction, "I.M. Lowe and the Lowe Blows", is unable to appear tonight because of a lockdown at their hotel. Helena and Vulcanna then appear and find Nadine there. The intruders then claim that Nadine shot the Block Airways jet she was piloting. Nadine objects; she was instead thrown to the ground. Helena then spills the beans that Colleen Springs was her in disguise. Vulcanna then issues an ultimatum: either he files charges against Nadine and Dave or she and Helena summon their master. Sergeant O'Randolph then states that he does not file false charges against anyone. Helena and Vulcanna then summon their master. God then appears, tells Satan that he and his partners-in-crime were responsible for the air disaster that claimed 35 lives, refuses Satan's refusal to release Nadine, withholds the victims from him and absolves them of all sin. Satan promptly disappears, after which Helena and Vulcanna threaten to curse everyone in Chez Monyou, which God denies and zaps them back to Hades.

Chez Monyou is then closed to repairs. Nadine explains to Sergeant O'Randolph that it was the powers she gained that helped her evacuate before the building collapsed. Harvey remarks that this is a tremendous scoop for 41 Action News, for which Nadine tells Harvey that she decided to take up a job as a reporter; she resigned when she found out Mr. Block, head of the airline, was involved in a sex scandal. With the terror cell shut down, Sergeant O'Randolph says, Dave and his friends will have no problems getting home.
