Episode 1
Operation: Plan to Scare Derek
Sydney: Let me get this straight Case, your stepbrothers; Derek and Edwin Venturi scare you every Halloween, and no matter what you do, you can never scare them?
Casey: Exactly.
Sydney: Wow… ok… why can't you ever scare them?
Casey: Because I'm stupid and I tell Edwin my plan to scare Derek, and Edwin goes and tells Derek all about the plan.
Sydney: Back-stabber.
Casey: Exactly.
Sydney: Hmm… I think I can help you there.
Casey: Really?
Sydney: Yes.
Casey: Yay! (She clasps her hands together with giddiness.)
Sydney: I already have a plan. Meet me after school, and I'll tell you all about it.
Casey: How about you come to my house? Derek isn't going to be home today because he has a "date" with a girl. Edwin won't be there either because he's over at his friend's house. Marti Venturi isn't going to be there because she's at the Venturi's grandmother's house, and my parents are both off at a play. Elizabeth McDonald-Venturi and I will be the only ones there.
Sydney: Deal. See you than. (She leaves.)
It's after school now. Derek, Casey, and Sydney are all at the Venturi's house. Derek is preparing for his "date", Edwin is waiting to leave, Marti is waiting to leave, and George Venturi, and Nora McDonald-Venturi are preparing one last thing. Sydney Kramer is sitting at the kitchen's bar in the Venturi's/McDonald's house.
Sydney: So… I forgot, but how old is everybody at your house? I mean… I've only been here for two weeks now, and I still don't remember your relative's ages.
Casey: Oh… Well… Lizzie is 12 years old, Marti is 6 years old, my mom is 45 years old, George, my stepfather is 46 years old, Edwin is 13 years old, I'm 17 years old, and the oh so annoying Derek is 17 years old as well, which sucks because I hate sharing everything with him.
Sydney: I see. I'll try to remember that.
Casey: If you don't, then I'll remind you.
Sydney: Thank you.
Right after Sydney said what she did, Derek came down. When he came down, he went into the kitchen, and once in the kitchen, he stopped in mid-step. He was surprised to see the Asian girl that was sitting by Casey. He hadn't seen the girl before.
The Asian girl is Sydney Kramer, she's 16 years old, she was born in Japan, she is petite, she has brown eyes, she has dark brown almost black hair that gives her natural red streaks from the sun, and she's short. She's only 4'10.
Derek: Ok… who's the ugly girl? (He looked over at Sydney.)
Casey: She is not ugly.
Derek: Yeah she is. Anybody who is a friend of yours is ugly. (He lied.)
Casey: Whatever Derek. Leave. (She rudely says.)
Derek: Who is she? (He says with genuine curiosity.)
Casey: Nobody you need to know about. Now… leave. I'm sure that Kendra hates to be kept waiting. Good-bye. (She rudely says again.)
Derek: Whatever. I've got a hot date. Later. (He leaves.)
Sydney: Let me guess… Derek Venturi?
Casey: Bullseye.
Sydney: Indeed.
Casey: Yeah. All well. Anyway… are you hungry?
Sydney: A little.
Casey: What do you want to eat?
Sydney: Do you have bread, and fixings so that I can make a sandwich?
Casey: Yeah we do. I'll get us some. You can go ahead and go into the living room where our TV is. I could bring you the bread, and I could bring you the fixings.
Sydney: Thank you, but no. That's ok. Just call me when you have everything out please.
Casey: Ok.
Sydney: Thank you. (She leaves.)
Right after Sydney left, Casey went and got some bread, and some sandwich fixings.
It's about ten minutes later now, and Casey is done gathering everything that she needs to make sandwiches. When she finished, she went into the living room, and found Sydney or Syd, sitting on the couch staring at a blank TV screen. When Casey saw, she was curious and confused, but she brushed it off, put on her famous smile, and went over to Sydney Kramer, or Syd Kramer. When she got over to where Syd was, she spoke.
Casey: Hey Syd! (She says happily with a smile.)
Sydney: Hey Casey! (She says, returning Casey's happiness and smile.)
Casey: I have all of the sandwich stuff out so that we could make sandwiches!
Sydney: Sweet! Let's go! (She leaves and goes into the kitchen.)
Syd and Case both go into the kitchen to make their sandwiches.
It's ten minutes later now. Syd and Case are both done making their sandwiches. Syd made a ham and cheese sandwich, and Case made a lettuce, tomato, and fresh spinach sandwich. When they finished making their sandwiches, they both went into the Venturi/McDonald living room and sat down with their sandwiches.
Sydney: Are you a vegetarian?
Casey: No. I just like vegetables.
Sydney: I see.
Casey: What do you want to watch while we eat?
Sydney: You choose.
Casey: No, no. You can choose.
Sydney: No thanks. You choose please. I don't know what's on TV.
Casey: How about music videos?
Sydney: Sure.
Casey: Ok.
Right after Casey said what she did, she reached for the remote control, and turned the TV on. Once she turned the TV on, she changed the channel to a channel that was all music videos, and kept it on that channel. While the two friends ate and watched TV, they spoke to each other.
Casey: Ok… so… what's your plan to scare Derek?
Sydney: Well… I think that we should reenact a scene. I think that we should ask six girls that Derek thinks is 'hot', to help us out, have them bring six different junk foods, or foods that Derek loves, and I think that we should ask them to come at six o'clock exact. Then before they come, I think that we should ask them to dress up in all red, and ask them to act like zombies. We'll call them zombified. What do you think?
Casey: Derek isn't scared of zombies.
Sydney: He hasn't seen my way of zombifying people.
Casey: Your way?
Sydney: Yes. My way. Believe me, my way of zombifying people is SO real.
Casey: Hmm… I like how it sounds. Derek isn't scared of zombies, but from the sounds of it, you've reenacted this scene before, so I'll trust you. Let's do this!
Sydney: Sweet!
What Casey doesn't know, and what everyone doesn't know is that Sydney is not normal. She actually has powers. Her powers make things real, rather they're made up, fake, inanimate, or what not. She can still make them real. She was born on a planet called Sedna. The color silver just like the moon symbolizes Sedna, almost, and Sednians are humans, but they have supernatural powers. From looking at Sednians, nobody can tell that they are different than any human. She has supernatural powers. She's powerful.
Casey: I'm very excited now! I cannot wait to see Derek's face if we actually succeed in this operation! I am SO excited! (She replies with utter joy.)
Sydney: Oh… we will succeed in this operation. (She said confidently.)
Casey: I can't wait! (She replies enthusiastically.)
Sydney: You'll have to. Halloween isn't until a few weeks away.
Casey: Two weeks to be exact.
Sydney: I'm glad that someone is keeping track. (She smiles.)
Casey: I know! (She smiles too.)
It's thirty minutes later now, and Casey and Sydney are both done eating their sandwiches. Since they're both done, they cleaned up their messes, and now they are sitting in front of the TV, but it's off. They are talking.
Sydney: So… again with the plan… what do you understand so far?
Casey: Well… we're going to get six girls that Derek thinks are 'hot', we're going to ask them to bring six junk foods that Derek will like, and they're going to be here at this house at six o'clock sharp. Oh… and you're going to "zombify" them.
Sydney: Looks like you got the gist of it. Now… to add on to the plan… after I zombify them, I'm going to zombify the foods that they bring. I'm also going to bewitch the clocks… to a certain extent. After the whole thing, you're going to come flying into Derek's room. After that, you're going to land on the ground, then I'm going to come in and unzombify the girls. Does that make sense?
Casey: That makes sense, but that's going to require a LOT of work.
Sydney: No it isn't. You find the six girls, you tell them to bring six of Derek's favorite junk foods, and you tell them to be at the house at six o'clock sharp, not a second later. After you do all of that, leave everything else up to me. Ok?
Casey: Deal! I will get to see his face though, right?
Sydney: Oh… you will see his face. (She replied confidently.)
Casey: You're confident that this plan is going to work, aren't you?
Sydney: Very.
Casey: Awesome! (She replies enthusiastically.)
Sydney: I'm extremely excited! (She smiles.)
Casey: Me too! (She also smiles.) Ok… a total change of subject, but what do you think about our upcoming project in Health class?
Sydney: The parenting project?
Casey: Yeah.
Sydney: Well… I'm not particularly excited about the project, but I'm going to try my best to get an A, like always. I just hope that I don't get a bad partner. I mean… if I got a bad partner, that's going to suck. I mean… the partners are all going to be girl boy, girl boy, and so on. The girls are actually going to have to move into the boy's house. If I had a bad partner and had to move into his house to live with him, gosh, that would suck. I'm not excited to have to move into the boy's house.
Casey: Well… not all girls have to. The teacher is going to choose who is going to move in, and who is going to stay at their original homes. I mean… I'm extremely excited! How cool would that be? I mean… Max is in that class, and he's my boyfriend! How cool would it be to be fake married to him? I mean… that's going to be awesome! (She smiled and replied excitedly, and giddily.)
Sydney: But you have a boyfriend in that class. I don't.
Casey: That's true. It'll still be pretty fun… I'm sure! I mean… all of the guys except for a select few seem to be good guys.
Sydney: We'll see.
Casey: I'm excited! I mean… with our projects, we actually have to go to the store with our "husbands" and look for fake wedding rings to buy.
Sydney: I guess. Like I said… I'm not particularly excited.
Casey: Mrs. Jones knows that Derek and I are stepsiblings, so hopefully she won't put us together, and if she does, she's promoting something inappropriate.
Sydney: Agreed. I hope that Derek and I aren't partnered up together. That would suck, especially if I have to move in with him.
Casey: The Venturi/McDonald residence isn't TOO bad.
Sydney: I guess it wouldn't be totally terrible to move into the Venturi/McDonald residence. You guys do have a pretty neat family, and a pretty comfortable home.
Casey: Yeah!
Sydney: I still don't want to be partnered up with Derek though. He's too much of a slacker, and I certainly don't want to be getting an A for both of us, especially when I deserved the A, and he didn't.
Casey: I couldn't agree more.
Sydney: So… when is everybody leaving your place?
Casey: Well… obviously, Derek is gone. My parents will probably be taking Edwin, Lizzie, and Marti to their destinations soon, and then we could get to work.
Sydney: Great.
It's another ten minutes later now, and Derek, Edwin, Lizzie, Marti, Nora, and George are all gone. They are all at their destinations. Derek is on his "date" with the girl, Edwin is at his friend Jason's house, Lizzie is at her newest friend Michelle's house, Marti is at her friend Brooke's house, and Nora and George are at the stage production that they had planned to go to for the last month. The stage production, surprisingly, is Romeo and Juliet, a romantic/tragedy by William Shakespeare.
Casey: Ok… they're all finally gone. We can finally get to work now.
Sydney: Finally.
Casey: Ok… so we were both assigned a country to present. We were assigned France. Now… we decided to cook some food from France, speak a few words in French, dress like French women, and make a power point, right?
Sydney: Yeah. Now… we were both dressing like French women, we're both cooking something from France together, you're learning French, and I'm doing the power point, right?
Casey: Well… I thought that you were learning French, and I was doing the power point.
Sydney: Oh… right… right… we changed that just recently.
Casey: Yeah. I wanted to do the power point, because I wanted more work.
Sydney: Oh yeah.
Casey: Ok… so… I'm going to go upstairs in my room and use my computer to work on the power point. The only other computer we have is in Derek's room, so you can go in there and use it to get some information on the French language, and the French clothes. Oh… and if you have time, could you please find some recipes that don't have to do with escargot aka snails? Please?
Sydney: Ok… but… what century are we dressing as?
Casey: I don't know… but how about we dress like an 1800 French woman during the revolution? Does that sound good?
Sydney: Hmm… I'll look it up.
Casey: Ok. Well… let's get to work. First, I'll show you to Derek's room.
Sydney: Ok.
Casey: Follow me. (She heads towards Derek's room, expecting Syd to follow.)
Sydney follows Casey, and within minutes, they are both in front of a door.
Casey: Ok… this is Derek's room. If you need me, my room is a little ways down the hall on your left if you're facing Derek's door. If Derek comes and threatens you, tell me, and I'll tell Nora and George. Derek didn't buy the computer; he just has it in his room.
Sydney: Ahh… ok. Don't worry about me. I'll deal with Derek.
Casey: Ok. Well… I'll see you in a few hours.
Sydney: Ok.
It's a few hours later now, and both Sydney and Casey are done with their biggest projects. Sydney is done gathering the clothes that her and Casey were going to wear as part of their presentations, Sydney found a good recipe that she recognized, and that she knew everybody would like, and Sydney learned a few French words. Sydney learned how to say Hi, Good-Bye; I love you, how are you, yes, and no. Casey finished the power point, and now they were going to go downstairs to make the éclairs. Their projects weren't due for another week, but they had everything done. They were only going to make éclairs for Casey's family to try out, and critique. They wanted opinions before they actually made the éclairs for their classmates. They are both downstairs.
Casey: We've almost got everything done! (She says giddily.)
Sydney: I know it! It's so exciting! (She says happily.)
Casey: I think that we should rest up for a little while. I mean… we've been working for hours on end, and all of my other family members are going to be home soon. After dinner, maybe we could practice the recipe that you found, and get it critiqued by my family members. What do you say?
Sydney: It's a deal, and I chose éclairs. They were something I recognized, and I just thought that the other students in our class would appreciate something good and familiar.
Casey: That's a great idea! (She says giddily.)
Sydney: I'm glad! (She says proudly.)
Casey: So… what do you say we rest up?
Sydney: It's a deal! (She says happily.)
Casey: Yay! (She says girlishly.)
After Casey said what she did, Sydney and Casey went into Casey's family's living room, and they both sat down on the couch. Casey turned on the TV to a music video channel. The video that was showing was "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder.
/watch?vGtMgz2Gsd-I&featurerelated
As the two girls watched the music video, Casey cried, and Sydney just watched the television screen. Casey was crying because she thought that it was really a cute song, and it was so sweet. Sydney just stared at the TV screen because she too thought that it was sweet, but she wasn't going to say anything about it.
The song is 4 minutes and 30 seconds long, so when 4 minutes and 30 seconds was up, the song was over. When the song was over, the TV screen went to a commercial.
Casey: (She sniffles and wipes the tears from her eyes.) Wow. That was so sad.
Sydney: It was… interesting.
Right after Sydney said what she did, suddenly, the front door of Casey's house opened up, and in came Derek kissing a girl. Derek and the girl kissed as they made their way towards the couch. When they got over to the couch, they were going to plop down, but Sydney spoke up, which made Derek pull away extremely fast for some strange reason.
Sydney: Ahem… there are people here.
Right after Sydney said what she did, for some strange and unexplainable reason, Derek pulled away as fast as he could, and when he pulled away, there was a hint of red on his face as if he were embarrassed, but he'd never admit that, and Casey thought nothing of it, so she wasn't going to say anything about it either.
Girl with Derek: Ahh… Derry, how many girls are you dating?
Derek: Just you. These other girls… well… they don't mean a thing.
Little did Derek know, VERY soon, Sydney would mean a LOT more to Derek than anything, and that's not something Derek wanted.
Derek: The girl with brown hair is my stepsister. The other girl… well… I don't know her at all. I guess she's new or something.
Girl with Derek: Oh… ok than. (She leaned forward to kiss Derek some more, but he didn't let her. Instead, he went over to the couch, and stared down at Casey and Syd.)
Derek: Kendra and I would like to use the couch.
Casey: We were here first.
Derek: This is my house.
Sydney: Did you buy the house? Did you pay for the house?
Derek: Well… no.
Sydney: Then it's not your house. Go somewhere else.
Casey: Don't encourage him.
Sydney: It's either that, or watch them.
Casey: Right than… yeah… go somewhere else.
