Summary: What if it was Rose, and not Jake, who found out about the Chalice of Tharanoushis?

The Talented Miss Killdragonosa

"Soon the Chalice of Tharanoushis will be mine." Professor Hans Rotwood says and then laughs until he realizes some students are listening. "Go away, hoodlums. Nothing to see here."

'Could Rotwood be right once on his life?' Rose thinks and then takes a picture of the talent show first place cup for a later checking.

"Are you also interested in the talent show, Rose?" Spud asks.

"Maybe." Rose answers.

"Well, Rose, I'd like to help you but I've already promised to help Spud." Jake replies with a flirting tone.

"Well, I'm gonna talk to my uncle about the talent show." Rose says. "I'm sure he'll be interested."

LINE BREAK – The Huntsmaster's Apartment

"You're right, Huntsgirl." The Huntsmaster says after seeing the photo. "This is the Chalice of Tharanoushis. Through the history, several human beings and magical creatures have killed and died trying to possess it. You must retrieve it before it's filled with water."

"Why, master?" Huntsgirl asks.

"If filled with water, the chalice will release an evil djinn imprisoned within it." The Huntsmaster explains. "Once it happens, only a special chant will imprison the djinn back in the chalice."

"And which chant is that, master?" Huntsgirl asks.

"Unfortunately this knowledge has been lost for centuries, Huntsgirl." The Huntsmaster replies. "That's why, tonight, you're going to retrieve the Chalice of Tharanoushis before Rotwood has a chance to free the djinn."

"Understood, master." Huntsgirl replies and then prepares herself for the mission.

LINE BREAK – Millard Fillmore Middle School

When Huntsgirl arrives at the school, she sees two security guards chasing an intruder who stole the chalice. Avoiding being seen, she follows them until a drinking fountain, where the intruder fills it with water and realizes he stole the wrong cup.

"The Chalice of Tharanoushis will be mine." The intruder announces and Huntsgirl recognizes his voice and accent as being Rotwood. The guards run back to the trophy case.

"Master, Rotwood attempted to steal the chalice and now it's more guarded than before." Huntsgirl reports.

"Then there's no other option." The Huntsmaster declares.

LINE BREAK – Millard Fillmore Middle School – The Next Morning

Rotwood is so tired from last night he barely stays awake to teach. Rose, who's more accostumed to stay awake at night due her double life as Huntsgirl, pays attentions when Brad's mocks Rotwood's tiredness and is suspended from the football them because of that.

Later, at the back stage, Spud is preparing himself for the show. "Trixie, you should wear this." He says as he shows her a dress like the ones worn by magician's assistants.

"No, way, Spud." Trixie replies and then sees Jake. "Jakey, tell Spudinski here assistants can wear jeans."

"Actually" Spud shows a sparky dress he wants Jake to wear.

"Spud, if you want someone to put this on, you should ask Rose to be your assistant." Jake comments.

"Not a chance." Rose answers as she appears wearing an aerobycs outfit and has her hair in Huntsgirl style. "I'm in the competition myself."

"In that case, let the best one win." Spud replies.

"Thank you." She then notices Jake staring at her." Jake, why are you looking at me like I reminded you of someone else you know?"

"Oh, nothing." Jake replies.

"In that case, I'll show my skills to the judges." Rose replies and then goes to the stage.
