Elle: Previously on 'Third Rock From The Sun'!

Direction: CUT! Lady, for the last time…that's not the name of the show!

Elle: Well sorry, that's what the spinning world thing reminds me of…

Direction: Geez!...Okay, let's try it again…..TAKE 47!

Elle: Previously on Heroes….

A man walks into his bosses' office, approaching his desk.

Man: I have the information that you wanted, Mr. Fox.

Man: We have their locations.

Mr. Fox: Good……Find them and bring them to me….we have much work to do.

Sarah is outside of her office window. She loses her footing and slips, while falling to the ground. The scene stops and turns into a portrait….being drawn by Peter Petrelli, sitting in the middle of the living room of Mohinder's apartment.

Peter: The thing is….I have no idea who she is…..or where she could be.

Peter (at Molly's dance class): Molly, can you tell us where this woman is?

Molly looks at the portrait……

Molly: She…..is on an airplane.

Mr. Perkins (Claire's school): Today the class will team up into groups of two for this week's Science Project. Sunny, you can choose first.

Sunny: I choose Claire! Cuz we're super best friends!

Claire (screaming in her head): DAMMIT!

Hiro (reading the paper): -Gasp!- Ando! Look what I found!?

Ando: Not another Chinese Prophet I hope…..

Hiro: No….it's the annual 'Fire Dragon Festival'!

Ando: WOW! I have no idea what that is!

Hiro: Every year, people from around Japan compete in this prestigious event. And the winner gets the most valuable prize ever known to man….

Ando: A cruddy trophy soaked in gold spray paint?

Hiro: No, even better than that! You win…..Honor……Acceptance……Admiration………and a cookie.

Ando: Cool!

A man knocks on the door.

Elle: GASP!

Noah: You don't actually say the word 'Gasp!'…you…..oh forget it…..

Edward: Hi…..I was looking for a Mohinder Suresh.

Noah: Go on my child…..I'm listening.

Edward: Well…..I think I may have a…..what you would like to call….an 'Extraordinary' ability.

Noah: Go on.

Edward: Okay….watch……

Edward reaches over and grabs a knife, running it down his arm. The wound starts to automatically heal itself, which grabs Noah's attention off the spot.

Noah: That……

Edward: See!? It started happening about a few weeks ago.

Noah: Okay……let's take you somewhere else…..I'll make a phone call.

Sarah loses her footing and falls off the building.

Sarah: AHHHHH!

Peter: Oh crap….

Mohinder (running up): Peter! Do something!

Peter: Uh…..

He stops time as Sarah is about to hit the ground. Peter runs back to the ground floor and outside…positioning himself to catch her.

Hiro turns around to see….

Hiro: Ugh…..Mieoko….

Ando: Who is that?

Hiro: My Arch-Nemesis!

Ando: You actually have an arch-nemesis? I didn't think anybody actually had those….

Mieoko: I can't believe YOU are actually going to compete…you hilarious!

Hiro: Shows what you know! I've been training night and day running up and down stairs with buckets of water!

Mieoko: Ooooh, impressive! (laughs) Well, all that won't matter when I win the statue…..

Ando: What about the cookie?

Mieoko: Especially the cookie!

Ando: -Gulp!-

Mr. Fox (talking): What is your status?

Suited Man (on the phone): We tracked him down to here…..we'll get him.

Mr. Fox: Good….I should hope so…..his power would be most intriguing.

Mr. Fox looks over at a sheet of information which has a picture of Mieoko Nahara on it, under it reading: Ability to read minds/mind control….

Mr. Fox: When do the games start?

Suited Man: Soon.

Mr. Fox: Don't fail…..

They both hang up their phones as Mr. Fox continues to stare out the window.

Claire Bennet
Claire Bennet's High School
Claire Bennet's English Class

Claire is sprawled on her desk, extremely tired from not getting much sleep last night.

-FLASHBACK-

Claire (her face buried in her pillow): UGH! What the hell is all that racket!?

Claire hops out of bed, going downstairs to find Mr. Muggles howling in the living room.

Claire: What the hell is going on here?!

Sandra: Isn't it great Claire!? Mr. Muggles is going to be on American Idol! I knew he was a great singer.

Randy Jackson: Yo, he sure is the best!

Simon Cowell: Yes, I think he's great and I hate everything.

Paula Abdul: HE'S THE GREATEST SINGER IN THE WORLD! YAY!

Mr. Muggles: -HOWL!-

Claire wakes up, nearly falling out of her desk.

Claire: -Shudder-….man, what a nightmare that was.

Mr. Graham: Flintstone!

Claire: Huh?

Mr. Graham: Claire Flintstone, do you have your report or not? Stop daydreaming about your family's mental issues and get your report ready.

Claire: Oh yeah….sure…..

Claire opens her backpack and digs around; she pulls out her report that's in shreds.

Claire: What the!?

She pulls out a sticky note which reads:

"Sorry for eating your homework, I skipped breakfast."
Signed - The Haitian.

Claire: Dammit, I told him to stop doing that!

Mr. Graham: WELL!?

Claire: Okay…..I'm going.

Claire grabs the next best thing, The Cafeteria Menu, and walks to the front of the class.

Claire: Okay, this is my report on…..The Civil War…….It was the best of times…..It was the worst of times…….

Mr. Graham: …..

Claire: ……Did I mention the cafeteria is serving Salisbury Steak today?

Mr. Graham: Claire, just stop.

Claire: It could use some work.

Mr. Graham: That's a cafeteria menu….

Claire: Okay, it is….but I do remember my report on the Civil War, really!

Mr. Graham: Your report was supposed to be on Romeo and Juliet.

Claire: Ah…..well……I'm….heh, just going to go sit down now.

Mr. Graham: Please.

Claire goes back to her seat. Later when class gets out the students are leaving.

Steve: Man, I can't believe that stupid Mr. Graham gave me an F on my report, man I just had about enough of his crap.

Student: What are you going to do?

Steve: Don't worry….he'll get what's coming to him…soon enough!

They walk on.

Claire: Ooookay, that was odd, but oh well.

Sunny: Hi Claire.

Claire: Oh….it's you.

Sunny: I'm sorry we got in our little tiff last week about my amazing science project.

Claire bites down on her fist.

Claire: Oh….that's okay, I was….just…..jealous.

Sunny: I know, it was really ingenious of me.

Claire glares at her.

Sunny: I was hoping we could be friends again!

Claire (thought): Well, it's not like we were really friends in the first place, but what the hell….

Claire: Sure.

Sunny: YAY!

She skips away, as Claire shakes her head.

Mohinder Suresh
Mohinder's Apartment
Landlord: Extremely Suspicious

Back in the apartment, Mohinder is talking to Sarah McGregor.

Mohinder: So Sarah, do you know anything about the man was chasing you?

Sarah: Well…..the thing is….he might be after me because of something….I can do.

Mohinder: Go on…..

Sarah: Something…..

Mohinder: ….Go on….

Sarah: Something 'Extraordinary'….

Mohinder: -Gasp!-

He runs over to Matt, Niki and Peter who are sitting on the couch.

Mohinder: Did you guys hear that?….She has an Extraordinary ability.

Niki: We heard her, we've been right here this entire time.

Matt: Well, I wasn't paying attention; I'm too engrossed in this week's episode of Reading Rainbow!

Niki: Why am I still here?

She looks at Peter.

Niki: Why are YOU still here?

Mohinder: So….what is it that you can do?

Sarah: I….I don't know….if I can tell you….

Mohinder: Don't be ashamed! Those three over there on the couch have special abilities too!

Matt: HEY! He just violated The Hero Confidentiality Agreement! He can't go around telling people what we can do!

Niki: I'm going to start hurting people right now if you all don't be quiet!

Matt: Yeah, we're trying to watch TV here!

Niki: And change it back to 'Friday Night Lights'!

Matt: But they're about to talk about a book where this maid goes to work for this millionaire and she finds his head in the freezer!

Niki: Change it back, or die!

Matt: Quiet, you! They're discussing the new Nancy Drew book!

Niki tackles Matt to the floor.

Matt: Ahh, don't hit me, I bruise easily!

Peter, who hasn't said a word….gets up and walks off.

Matt: Where's he going?

Sarah: I….can move objects with my mind.

Mohinder: Oh….well I was hoping for something different. But it's still extraordinary!

Peter is painting away on his easel, he finishes his work as it depicts a man who has fallen to his death in front of a clock tower, the painting changes to present day as people are walking about. Claire, who has just left her school, looks up at the top of the tower, thinking about something, then walks away to head back home.

---Initiate Earth Rotation Sequence……..Heroes!---

Hiro and Ando
Hiro's Subplot
The Seventh 9th Annual Fire Dragon Festival….wait, what?

Ando is holding a clipboard trying to look important while Hiro is on the ground stretching.

Hiro: This is it, Ando. My chance to prove my honor…

Ando: Uh….

Hiro: I must stretch and get myself ready, also if I'm going to beat my arch nemesis.

Ando: I don't know about these events….

Hiro: What are you talking about?

Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the Fire Dragon Festival!

Audience cheers, they hold up a banner which reads…

CHAPTER 10: PREVENTION

Man (holding the banner): What!? Why the hell does it say that!? The guys at the banner shop screwed it up again! BAH!

Announcer: Competitors, get ready for the 1st round!

Hiro: Well, I'm off….

Ando: Hiro, just so you should know….

Hiro: I'll be back!

He runs off.

Ando: Hmm….

Hiro walks up to a table standing next to Mieko.

Hiro: Grr!

Announcer: Okay, ladies! Bring out the bowls.

Hiro: Bowls?!

A group of helpers bring out some bowls and place them in front of the contestants.

Hiro: What's this!?

Mieoko: They're eggs, genius.

Hiro: What….do we do with these?

Mieoko: Uh…duh, you eat them. It's the first event. Did you not read the important clipboard?

Hiro: The one Ando was holding?!

Hiro shoots a look at Ando who shrugs.

Hiro (thinking to himself): Man, all that running up and down stairs for this!?

Claire Bennet: $150
Mohinder's Apartment: $400 a month
The satisfaction that this plot will hopefully go somewhere: Priceless
There are some things money can't buy…..for everything else, there's MasterCard!

Claire knocks on the door, which is answered by Peter.

Peter: Claire, hey!

Claire: Hey, Peter. I came down for the weekend to stay….for the weekend.

Peter: Completely unannounced too! Just like I would….

Claire: Yeah…….

Peter: Well, it was great seeing you.

He closes the door.

Peter: Oh wait….I wasn't supposed to do that…..

Sarah, who is still in the apartment, answers her phone.

Sarah (on the phone): Yeah…..WHAT?!...Oh, crap…..yeah, I know….allright…..I'll be there shortly.

Voice (on the other line): Hey, I didn't get to say anything yet!

-CLICK!-

Sarah: I have to go, it's urgent. I have a client to tend to.

Mohinder: Oh, that's too bad. When will you be back?

Sarah: Well….I was hoping….never.

Mohinder: Wha?

Sarah: I want to lead a normal life. I don't want these silly powers.

Mohinder: WHAT!? They are most certainly not silly. They are….

Matt/Niki/Peter (deadpan): Extraordinary.

Mohinder: Thank you.

Claire (Outside): Is someone going to let me in?

Sarah: I know they are….but I don't want to be extraordinary. I want you to…..get rid of them. Don't you have something that can….I don't know….erase it from me or something.

Mohinder: What, like someone that knows how to erase memories, I'm not sure….

The phone rings…..

Mohinder: It's Bennet! Better answer it….

Mohinder: Hello?

Noah (in the car with Edward, Elle, and Haitian): Mohinder, its Bennet. We're on our way over there….

Mohinder: I don't know….the place is kind of a mess….

Noah: We have something interesting to show you…..

Mohinder: Well, okay then.

Noah: And I heard Claire was staying over there too, did she make it okay?

Mohinder: Yes, she's still standing outside the door as we speak.

Noah: Uh…..ok…..that's good…..I guess…….

Mohinder: See you when you get here.

Niki (to Peter): Yeah, when where you going to let her in?

Peter: ….Who?

Niki: Claire!

Peter: Oh, right…..

A little bit later, Claire and Peter enter one of the spare bedrooms.

Peter: And this is the spare bedroom, amazing that I know that and I don't even live here.

Claire: Thanks, Peter…..Hey, what's that?

She walks over to the painting Peter drew earlier.

Peter: Oh, you know…..I get in my 'Artwork' phase and who knows what I'll draw…..

Claire (staring closer at the picture): That……That's my teacher!

Peter: What?!

Claire: This means he's going to die!

Peter: Oh…..but overall how did I do on the picture?

Claire: Very well, I like the shadow that is looming from the base of the Clock Tower. And the water effect you have in the fountain is amazing, truly realistic. Could use a little more purple though…

Peter: I agree….

Claire: Yeah….

Peter: ….More purple….

Claire: ….Yeah…..But he's going to die!

Peter: WHAT!?

Claire: I…..I have to do something…..

Hiro and Ando
Fire Dragon Festival
Rawr!

Ando walks over to an over stuffed Hiro sprawled out on the floor.

Ando: You okay?

Hiro: Oh…..it's too many…..I can't eat another egg!...Did I win?

Ando: No, you only ate 1 egg!

Hiro: That's…..bad?

Ando: Yes, it's very bad.

Hiro: What can I do?

Ando: Well, you can redeem yourself in the second competition, The Obstacle Course!

Hiro: Oh no! I hate obstacle courses; they're always filled with things that obstruct my path!

Ando: That's…..kind of the point.

Hiro: -Groan-

Back at Mohinder's Noah and Company knock on the door, answered by Peter.

Peter: Hello!

Noah: Hi, Peter we need to speak with Mohinder.

Peter: Sure….would you like to come in?

Elle: I know I would!

The walk in as Elle runs her fingers through Peter's hair.

Peter: Great, make yourselves at home. I got some tea brewing, should be ready shortly.

Noah: ..Uh….Do….you live here?

Peter: Nope!

Noah: Ah, just checking.

Mohinder (exiting his room): Bennet, you wanted to see me.

Noah: Yes, this is Edward….he….also has an ability.

Matt (STILL on the couch): I have a hunch….I think everybody in the world has an ability. They just haven't realized it yet.

Niki (changing channels): …..Shut up.

Matt: It was just a thought!

Noah (to Edward): Go ahead; show the good doctor what you can do.

Edward cuts himself, and the wound heals automatically.

Mohinder: Fascinating!

Matt: Wasn't he just unimpressed with Sarah's telekinesis, but he is now wow-ed by this guy who has the same power as Claire?

Niki: That's it! I'm going back to my room!

Matt: But I have no one to watch TV with!

Noah: I wanted to bring this to your attention since he has the same powers as Claire.

Mohinder: And…..how long have you had these powers, Edward?

Edward: Oh….a few weeks….about a month…maybe two.

Sarah: Actually….if I may interrupt…..that was when I started noticing I had my power too.

Mohinder: Hmm…..that's…..strange.

Elle: This looks like a mystery only 'The Elle Squad' can solve!

Noah: I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Mohinder: I'll have to look into this more…..

Peter: Hey, did you have some strange guy looking for you?

Edward: Uh….

Sarah: Yeah, there was this creepy guy in a suit who was bothering me.

Edward: Well, I sometimes thought I was being followed, but…..who knows?

Claire exits the bedroom.

Claire: Oh, hi dad.

Noah: Claire, are you allright?

Claire: Just fine….but I have to head back.

Noah: What?

Claire: It's important….

Noah: Well, it's starting to get late, you better stay here.

Claire: Oh, don't worry…..Peter will take me there real quick.

Peter: I will?

Claire: Yeah….you can teleport, right?

Peter: Well….sort of, I'm still a little rusty.

Claire: Great!

Noah: Okay, then….just be careful.

Claire: I will.

Sarah: But anyway, Dr. Suresh, do you know anything that can get rid of my power? I really have to get going.

Mohinder: Oh right….um….Bennet?

Noah: Hmm?

Mohinder: As much as I'm against it….Ms. McGregor doesn't want her power….do you think your partner can help?

Elle: I sure can!

Noah: He's not talking about you!

Elle: Well, fine then! (Sticks her tongue out)

Noah: You want my Haitian friend to wipe her memory.

Mohinder: Well, no…..just….any knowledge of her power.

Noah: I….guess he could do that.

Haitian: But just be cautious that there is a itty bitty chance you could remember it again.

Sarah: I'll take my chances.

Haitian: Works for me!

Sarah: Great, thanks. I have to keep busy, can't keep Mrs. Petrelli waiting.

Peter: Huh?!

Sarah: Oh….I shouldn't be talking about the cases; I should keep my mouth shut.

Peter: That's my mother! Who is she suing?

Sarah: I can't disclose that information, but I'm sure you know him.

Peter's cell phone rings.

Peter: It's Nathan….he only calls at this time if there is something wrong.

Sarah: Answer your phone.

Peter (answering): Hello Brother!

Nathan: Peter! You will not believe this! I'm getting sued by mom! I can't believe she would stoop to this…..

Peter: Oh, that sucks. What for?

Nathan: For damages from when everyone was hiding here from Sylar a few weeks back. These papers say that I'm responsible for 5.3 Billion Dollars in damages!

Peter: I told her not to buy that castle! It's just throwing money down the drain.

Nathan: Pete, you're kinda missin the big picture here.

Peter: Don't worry, Brother. I will save the day, like always….When have I ever forgotten anybody.

Claire clears her throat.

Peter: Oh, that's right. How rude of me!

Peter hands Claire a cup of tea.

Nathan: Well, I need you to come testify as a witness.

Peter: Better yet, I'll be your attorney!

Nathan: No….you do NOT want to do that. You want to be a 'witness'.

Peter: Nope, attorney. Don't fret; I've been studying for many hours a day.

Nathan (slapping his forehead): Why did I get you those stupid 'Phoenix Wright Games' for your Nintendo DS?!

Peter: For a special family emergency such as this.

Nathan: So….you're pretty much saying that I'm screwed.

Peter: Yup! So let me finish helping Claire out with her sub plot….

Claire rolls her eyes.

Peter: And I'll be there quicker than you can say 'Guilty As Charged'!

Nathan: Wonderful.

Peter: Later, bro.

Peter hangs up.

Peter: That was Nathan.

Claire: I know.

Peter: Okay, let's go. I'm still bad at the teleporting thing so….don't be surprised if we end up in a sewer or something.

Claire: Wonderful.

Peter concentrates really hard as the two of them vanish.

Haitian (finishing up with Sarah): Done!

Sarah: AHH! What am I doing here!? Who are you people?

Haitian: Uh oh.

Sarah: Oh, this is bad. I have to get back to the office and get ready for my case; Mrs. Petrelli doesn't like to wait!

Haitian: Oh, okay good enough.

Sarah grabs her coat and walks out.

Mohinder: I can't believe I just let that happen. Another person won't be able to embrace their gift….what a shame.

Meanwhile, back at the FDF.

Announcer: Here we are! The final test in the Festival Of The Fire Dragon! This will determine the winner!

Hiro: WHAT!? Already?!...

Ando: After 2 rounds?

Announcer: Everybody line up at the starting line.

Ando: Okay, Hiro. This is it.

Hiro: Yes, I will win the competition.

Hiro stands next to Mieoko.

Hiro: Hi.

Mieoko: What do you want?

Hiro: You…are going down.

Mieoko: That's nice.

Hiro: I've been running up and down stairs, so I'm going to leave you in a trail of dust!

Mieoko (thinking to himself): Man, I wish Hiro would just lose so I wouldn't have to deal with him. Come on, Hiro. Drop the race!

Announcer: On your mark!

Hiro: I QUIT!

Announcer: WHAT!?

Ando!

Mieoko: ….

Hiro: I have decided not to play anymore!

Mieoko (thinking): No way! Is that thing happening to me again?...Only one way to tell……

Mieoko thinks of a new way to control Hiro's mind.

Hiro (flapping his arms): BAWK! BAWK! BAWK!

Ando buries his face in his hands.

Announcer: I'm……lost…..

Ando (running up to Hiro): Hiro! What the hell is wrong with you!

Hiro: BAWK!

Announcer: Okay, well Hiro Nakamura forfeits the race meaning Mieoko Nahara wins by default!

Mieoko: Excellent.

Ando: This is bad…..

Claire and Peter
Claire's School
Wedgies Pulled by bullies: 1,878…..AH! Get away from me! NOOOO!...-Groan-……1,879…..man, that does not feel good.

Peter: Here we are.

Claire: Yes.

Peter: Um….how do you know if this 'Murder' is going to happen tonight?

Claire: I noticed something in the painting, look!

She spots a pom-pom.

Peter: Oh man, we have to save another Cheerleader again?!

Claire: No, tonight is the Cheerleader tryouts.

Peter: Oh….well it's a good thing I brought you here or you would have been very late.

Claire: Yes.

Peter: So now what?

Claire: I have to find out who is going to kill my teacher.

Peter: Which one? You have like….6 of them, right?

Claire: It's my English teacher, Mr. Graham…..-Gasp!-…..I think my classmate is going to do it!

Peter: Try out for cheerleading?...

Claire: NO! My classmate Steve. He said he was going to get his revenge….I just don't know when!

Peter: Well, I have to go get ready for court, gotta prepare my opening statement and all.

Claire: Okay, I'll be fine here. Just don't tell my dad you left me, or he'll freak.

Peter: Not to worry, if you get in any trouble whatsoever, just take this.

Peter hands her one of those cheap bubble wands.

Claire: What the hell is this?

Peter: You dunk the bubble wand into the jar and you blow bubbles, then I'll be there. Cause that's what Heroes do….

Claire: Um…..no…..they don't.

Peter: What?

Claire: No sane person is going to blow bubbles in the midst of running for their lives!

Peter: Oh come on, when you want The Haitian's help you hang a wind chime up. What good is that?!

Claire: You make a valid point, but I'm not blowing bubbles. I hate these things anyway, they always pop back in my face and it burns my eyes.

Peter: Only because you're not doing it correctly.

Claire: Just come back to get me in a couple of hours.

Peter: Will do!

Peter vanishes as Claire continues her investigation.

Back in Japan, Hiro and Ando are sitting outside as people leave the festival.

Hiro: I did what?!

Ando: You clucked like a chicken.

Hiro: And I….lost?

Ando: Yup.

Hiro: How strange, I didn't know what is wrong with me.

Mieoko comes up, bearing the trophy.

Hiro: Ugh…..Mieoko.

Mieoko: Hiro, too bad you lost in all. (Looking like he's thinking about something.

Hiro: Yeah, but it's probably because you cheated! You big fat…congratulations on winning…you are so much better than me at everything! You deserve the trophy.

Ando!

Mieoko: Why, thank you Hiro.

He walks off.

Hiro: What just happened?

Ando: Hmm…way too fishy….

Night falls back at the school and Claire is walking around. She spots Steve sitting by the fountain.

Claire: There he is…….I have to save Mr. Graham! But how……what would Peter do?

-Thinking-

Peter shows up sporting a flashy red cape.

Peter: STOP VILLAIN!

Peter doesn't get too far when he notices the fountain.

Peter: Ooooh….

Peter picks up a few stones and tries to skip them across the water.

Steve: Uh….hello?! I'm getting away!

Peter: Just a second!

…skip……skip…….

Peter: Damn! Almost had it.

-Done-

Claire: Okay, that won't work. Well, what would I do?

-Thought-

Claire (hopping up and down in a panic): AAAH! Someone's going to die and I don't know what to do?! Hey….what would Peter do?

Peter shows up in the cape.

Peter: STOP VILLAIN!

-Nah…-

Claire: Okay, I'm getting nowhere with this. I'll try to use my wonderful intellectual skills.

Claire walks up to Steve.

Steve: Oh, hey Flintstone.

Claire: What?...(Oh right, my 'Fake Name'. I gotta get that changed before I screw up and blow my cover one of these days).

Claire: So….what's going on?

Steve: Uh….nothing. Waiting for Janet to finish, we got a hot date planned for tonight.

Claire: (GASP! An accomplice!?)……Finish…..what?

Steve: The cheerleader tryouts…..you convinced her to sign up.

Claire: Oh, heh…..that's right. But…..what are YOU doing here?

Steve: I……just told you…..I'm waiting for Janet to finish.

Claire: Uh huh…..and nothing else.

Steve: Nope.

Claire spots in the corner of her eye, Mr. Graham entering the tower.

Claire: Gah!

Steve: Hey, what's old man Graham up to?

Claire: Oh, wouldn't YOU like to know.

Steve: I….would….that's why I just asked.

Claire: Well…..nothing….nothing at all.

Claire: (I wonder if he's going to push him off the top of the Clock Tower, so he'll go splat! Wait, if that's true then why would Mr. Graham go up there first…I have to stop him and save his life, it's what Niki would do….

A thought of Niki trying to save the day, she has Mr. Graham in a headlock and has a hold of one of his hands, making him punch his own face.

Niki: Stop hitting yourself!...Stop hitting yourself…..Man, I could do this all day.

Claire: Okay, enough of that…..

Claire runs toward the clock tower and enters it; she makes her way up to the top, where she notices Mr. Graham.

Claire: Mr. Graham, you have to leave! Your life is in…..

Mr. Graham turns around, with a sniper rifle in hand.

Claire: …..danger?

Mr. Graham: Flintstone!? What are you doing here?

Claire: I wish people would stop calling me that, it kinda takes the edge off the whole dramatic effect.

Mr. Graham: This has nothing to do with you.

Claire: But…..wait……why do you have a gun…..you are supposed…..wait…..you're going to shoot someone from the top of the clock tower!

Mr. Graham: Good deduction there, Sherlock.

Claire: But who….the only person out there is Steve….wait! You're going to kill him, what did he ever do to you?...He was supposed to kill you tonight…..oh, wait…..

Mr. Graham: I'm tired of that snot nosed punk making my life a living hell.

Claire: At least it's a 'Living' one….I thought he was going to kill you….man, I suck at detective work.

Mr. Graham: With the school year almost over, I'm sure nobody will notice.

Claire: Uh….yeah…..they kinda will.

Mr. Graham: The problem is……is that you know too much.

Claire: What are you going…..to do…?

Mr. Graham pulls out a pistol.

Mr. Graham: I can't have you running off and telling the police….

Claire: Uh….I wouldn't….honest…..Just my closest friends and relatives…….

Mr. Graham: Sorry about this, Claire.

Claire: Eeep!

He fires several shots, and Claire falls to the ground.

Claire: Ugh…..

The bullets pop out of her chest one by one.

Mr. Graham: What the hell?!

Claire (getting up): Mr. Graham, I can explain.

Mr. Graham: EXPLAIN WHAT!? You…..you're a freak!

Claire: Aha! But again…a 'Living Freak'…..hmm, that doesn't sound any better. But listen…..

Mr. Graham: No! Stay back! Get the hell away from me!

Mr. Graham takes a few steps back and accidentally falls over the railing.

Claire: ACK!

……..-SMACK!-

Claire rushes to the side and sees Mr. Graham on the ground in a pool of blood, right in front of the entrance to the Clock Tower. Steve, who is sitting at the fountain, looks up at her.

Claire: I can't believe this……well, at least all is well.

Steve (yelling): HEY! Guess what! The new girl killed Mr. Graham! Awesome!

Claire: Or….not.

Back in Japan, Mieoko is happily carrying his trophy home; he spots a man in a suit.

Man: Mieoko Nahara.

Mieoko: Yeah?

Man: You're going to have to come with me….we know what you can do….

Mieoko: I…I….I don't know what you're talking about.

Man: We have you on file, and your actions today at the tournament proves everything….

Mieoko: How….how did you know?

Man: Come with me…

Mieoko: NO!

He throws the trophy and the man, who starts chasing him.

Mieoko: AHHHH!

Hiro and Ando are walking down the street when they turn around to see Mieoko being chased by the man.

Hiro: Huh…..what's going on there?

Ando: Heh, they probably found out he cheated and are trying to get the trophy back.

Hiro: Ha, ha….yeah, you're probably right.

They turn a corner and find the trophy lying on the ground.

Hiro: That's strange…..he dropped it.

Down the street, they hear horns blaring the piercing sound of cars slamming on their brakes…followed by a loud slamming noise.

Hiro: What was that?

Hiro and Ando rush over to see what all the commotion was. They find several cars in a piled up wreck, and Mieoko, sprawled out in the middle of the street.

The suited man sighs, and gets on his phone.

Man: Mr. Fox….….I lost him……I'm sorry sir…..he panicked and ran off into the street…..Okay…..I'll head back.

Hiro and Ando look at each other, confused.

Back at Mohinder's apartment.

Peter: Allright, I'm dressed and ready for some courtroom action.

Niki: Uh….isn't that suit a wee bit tight on you?

Peter: Nope, it's a perfect fit…..oooh, a penny.

He bends over to pick it up…RIIIIP!

Niki: Ugh….

Peter: Okay, I'm off to the courthouse, I brushed up on some Law and Order this morning. So I know how it's all done….

(DUM! DUM!)

The Courthouse
New York City
2:00pm

Peter walks in; people can't help but stare at the hole still in his pants. He picks up his ringing phone.

Claire (on the phone): Peter.

Peter: Hey Claire. Did you solve you problem over there?

Claire: Yeah….but I need your help.

Peter: Oh right, I need to pick you up.

Claire: No….I'm kinda in a bind…..They arrested me for the murder of Mr. Graham.

Peter: …..Who the hell is Mr. Graham?

Claire: My teacher….

Peter: You murdered your teacher! Claire…..Mr. Muggles would be disappointed in you.

Claire: I didn't murder him; I was trying to stop him from GETTING murdered! That's why I came down here.

Peter: So…..wait, I'm confused.

Claire: It turns out HE was going to murder someone but I stopped him and he fell off the tower just like the portrait depicted. Now they think I did it…..

Peter: I see…..I know what I must do.

Claire: Oh thank you, Peter. If you bail me out you'll be my favorite Uncle….well...my only Uncle…..well who knows, another surprising turn of events could be right around the corner.

Peter: Oh no….I don't bail people out…..I represent them…..In the courtroom.

Claire: Oh no……

Peter: So I'll take your case!...Besides, when have I ever forgotten anybody.

Nathan, who is standing in front of him, clears his throat.

Peter: Um….gotta go, tell them you have a lawyer.

Claire: Wait!

Peter hangs up.

Peter: Let's do this.

Nathan: I'm so screwed…..

The two of them walk into the courtroom.

To Be Continued……

Judge: What for now….Mr. Petrelli.

Peter: I'm hungry; do we get a lunch break?

Judge: -Groan-…..

Matt: What the hell do you think you're doing!?

Jessica: I'm tired of being cooped up in that mirror….I'm going to have me some fun.

Mohinder (later, talking to Matt): She's doing what?!

Matt: She's going to rob a casino! We have to stop her…..

Mohinder: You just had to get her that Ocean's Eleven dvd set, didn't you?

Matt: Well…..

Mr. Fox: They are hiding the man who can heal himself, my agents have failed….you are all I got.

Voice: I got it under control…..

A mysterious man kicks down the door to a hotel room; Elle and Haitian turn around to see what's going on.

Man: Sorry to barge in…..but I have some business to take care of……
