**00-Panda** is an episode of PhysicalMediaHound's Turning Red fan fiction. The episode involves a movie day at Mei's school and Mei has to choose a movie,but is having a hard time choosing one.

The episode's name and intro are a reference to James Bond.

## Chapter 1

Name's Lee. Meliln Lee. No time to explain my red panda abilities.

That pool party was so awesome,but thank God my dad didn't find out I wore a skimpy outfit.

Because before you know,it's Monday,and that means school has started-again.

The bus ride was filled with FM radio oldies,but I didn't mind them. After all,my parents are into them. My friends all like 4-Town better though.

"Ugh!" I groaned. "There's a guy going 30 KPH in a 40 KPH road! God!"

Oh well,at least what happened next was going to a wild ride.

## Chapter 2

School was in full swing on this Monday,and as usual,we had announcements. I can't remember all of them,but I know one of them said some sort of a giveaway offer.

But,then the best announcement came. "Attention all middle school students! This Wednesday will be our first movie party! For much of school that day to Friday we will be watching movies! So come along,get a VHS tape or a DVD,and remember,only G and PG rated films."

I was so excited. No one told me this but it was amazing. I went to tell my friends. Meriam told me that I don't own a lot of films.

"But how can I get some films?" I asked,trying to look for an answer.

Piyra then replyied,"at Blockbuster."

"Where?" I said.

"Duh!" Abby said in a joking tone. "It's the only place to get the best movies to rent from. Not to mention it will be great for all of us to watch together."

Abby did have a point. After all,my mom knew where the local Blockbuster was and so did dad. It's not like they go to some secret warehouse.

## Chapter 3

School was over,and so began my trip to Blockbuster.

"Why do you *want* to go to Blockbuster?"mom replied.

"It's for school. We are doing a movie party from Wednesday to Friday."

"Oh. Yeah,please don't pull a skimpy move there."

Well,it was a bit of a drive,as there was traffic to get there.

But then we made it. All the way to Blockbuster in Toronto,Canada.

What happened next was going to be epic,or sorta.

## Chapter 4

The Blockbuster was a huge video rental store that had over thousands of movies to rent from on both VHS and DVD. Question was,which format was better?

"Mei,both formats are fine,because I know the school has both a VCR and a DVD player",mom said.

I went to the drama section and found a film called Vanilla Sky. "Oh,this looks awesome. Can I buy this?"

Mom looked at the rating and told me "Absolutely not! That film is rated 14A and you are 13. I don't want you watching this movie,espically at school." Besides,the rating did say there was a lot of coarse language.

"How about this one-Top Secret?" I asked mom.

"Nope! Still not old enough and also rated 14A!"

"Come on!" I yelled quietly. "I just want a movie for everyone to see."

"Well Mei you don't get 14A rated films. And you **never** get an 18A or an R rated film like The Godfather."

But then I saw the best film ever,"Planes,Trains and Automobiles".

"Can I get this?" I asked mom.

"Oh,alright." she said. "It is rated PG."

## Chapter 5

Tuesday went by quickly,and school just felt like a breeze.

Wednesday came and we started the movie party! A lot of people participated and we ended up watching 6 to 9 films per day. Buy my god was there so much awesomeness.

Friday came and we watched the film I picked out. It was a bit of a chore,but it was worth it in the end. After all,my friends did like the film,just not "like-like".
