Mary-Sue alert! This is a Rocket Power script that I'd like to see made into an episode. Each section consists of four scenes. If you come across the name Donna, I meant Jacinta. (Sorry, I decided to change her name when I finished it.) This is probably the first in a long line of RP episodes I will write, but please don't ask me to get Reggie and Twister together, I just don't think they're right for each other. Sorry, Reggie and Twist fans.
Here's some fanart I did for this story: http://geocities.com/wildwings_girl/rocket/art.html
Disclaimor: I don't own Rocket Power or any of its characters. This story is strictly for fun and earns no kind of income for the author.
I hope you enjoy it, please read and review! Thanks!

(Opening scene: desert road, hot sun. One car drives alone. Camera zooms into a closeup of the back seat passenger, the character Jacinta. She is slumped against the window, staring out with half-closed eyes. She sighs subtly. The car rounds a wide corner, and the car drives off into the sun. )
(Scene two: Ocean Shores, California. Behind the Rocket's house. Otto is tearing up the skateboard ramp. Twister and Reggie are watching, bored. Sam is sitting in the shed, fanning himself. Closeup of Reggie and Twist's peeved faces.
REGGIE: Come on, Rocket Boy! You've been on there for 15 minutes already! Give us a chance!
TWISTER: Yeah Otto-man! We want to shred a little too!
Otto lets out a "Ya-hoooooo!" as though he didn't hear them. He keeps skating, giving Rocket Girl and Twister a chance to get seriously ticked. They sigh and keep waiting, knowing there's really nothing they can do until Otto decides to give up the ramp.
TWISTER(mumbling): Maybe we should head for Mad Town.......)
(Scene three: house across street from Rocket's. Sign in front yard says house is on sale. Another says it's already been sold. [Remniscent of first episode.] Car from opening scene pulls into driveway. Back and front doors open. Jacinta and her mother step out. Jacinta looks especially happy.
JACINTA: Finally! I thought we'd never get here!
Her mother laughs that little knowing "i'm-your-mother-and-i'm-older-and- smarter" laugh.
SUSAN: Let's start unloading.
Susan pops the trunk. Jacinta unties and takes her bike off the top of the car. Emphasis on her strength.
Cut to: They have finished unloading. Susan sits down on the porch swing. Jacinta opens the door and goes inside.)
(Scene four: Inside Jacinta's house. She walks to the kitchen and unpacks a pitcher and a packet of instant lemonade. She makes the lemonade and pours it into two glasses. She puts the pitcher into the refrigerator. She walks outside.
Jacinta hands a glass to Susan.
SUSAN: Oh, thank you, honey.
She gulps it down gratefully as Jacinta sits beside her. Jacinta twirls it around in her glass for a few seconds, then drinks it. She holds the glass in front of her, gazing down into it. She turns her head to Susan.
JACINTA: So, we're livin' by the beach now, huh?
Susan takes the drink off her lips and smiles.
SUSAN: Yeah, isn't it great?!
Susan puts her hand on Jacinta's arm and shakes it a little. Jacinta smiles.
JACINTA: Well, I'm gonna go ride my bike.
She stands and goes inside and comes back out with her helment, then gets on her bike. She starts riding around the circular cul-de-sac without much effort. Her eyes are caught by a boy....flying? She looks closer...he's on a skateboard. She sees the ramp under him and two other kids that are watching him. She pedals toward them, hopeful to make new friends.
Otto lets out a loud "Ya-hoooo!" once again as he catches BIG air. Jacinta is amazed at his tricks.
JACINTA(dumbfounded): Wow...........
She pedals into their driveway. She parks her bike and climbs off, taking her helment off. Reggie and Twister hear her, and look at her. Their faces show confusion. Sammy also looks at her, not knowing what to think.
Not wanting to distract the boarder, she walks up to Reggie and Twister and watches Otto for a little while. It is obvious she is impressed.
JACINTA(whispering to Reggie and Twister): I've never seen anyone board like that before!
Twister and Reggie look at each other, confused. They decide to make the best of it and shrug their shoulders.
REGGIE: You haven't seen anything yet. You should see him at the board park. He rips it up! But for now...(her voice gets louder so Otto can hear her)...he has to get off so we can get a turn! He's such a ramp hog!!!!!!!
Otto laughs and completes his boarding.
OTTO: Ok, ok, sis. You can have a turn. But you have some insane moves to follow!
Reggie rolls her eyes. Jacinta is awestruck.
JACINTA: That was incredible! First time I've ever seen anyone skateboard, but still, incredible!
Otto looks at her, confused. Who was she? Where'd she come from?
OTTO: Thanks. Uh, who are you?
JACINTA: Oh, I'm sorry. Jacinta Crane, your new neighbor.
Jacinta reaches out her hand to Otto. He shakes it, and she smiles. Sammy comes out of the shed.
OTTO: Otto Rocket, of the Ocean Shores Rockets! And this is my sister, Reggie,
Reggie smiles and raises her hand to wave a little.
OTTO: my best bro, Twister Rodreiquez,
Twister does the same as Reggie.
OTTO: and behind me is the Squid, Sam Dullard.
Sammy waves to her.
JACINTA: It's nice to meet ya!
REGGIE: So, you new here?
JACINTA: Yep. Just drove in from Alabama.
SAMMY: I thought I recognized a little accent.
Jacinta grins.
JACINTA: Is it really that strong?
SAMMY: Nah. Very subtle.
REGGIE: So how old are you, Jacinta? You look a lot older than us.
Jacinta knows the four are younger than her, but think they're not that much younger.
JACINTA: Nah, I'm only fourteen.
REGGIE: Yeah, you are. Otto, Twist, and Sammy are nine. I'm ten.
JACINTA: Really? I would've thought you guys were at least eleven! I guess when I saw you skateboarding that ramp, I assumed you were older. But what do I know, eh?
Jacinta smiles.
TWISTER: My brother's fourteen. Maybe you could tell him to leave us alone. He might listen to you, since you're older.
OTTO: Lars? I don't think he's smart enough to take a hint.
Otto and Jacinta laugh.
JACINTA: What, does he give you a hard time?
Reggie looks in her eyes sternly.
REGGIE: You have no idea.
JACINTA: Let me meet this guy. (laughs)
SAMMY: Eeek, just in time...here he comes!
Sammy points behind Jacinta, and she turns. Her mouth opens a little bit, and she lets out a little sigh of air. Lars, Sputz, and Pi are walking toward them, but stop in their tracks when they see Jacinta. Their faces express shock. The three boys go into a huddle.
Closeup on huddle. Boys are whispering to each other. There are a few excited yelps and heated discussion under the cloak of whisper.
Camera on Jacinta, Reggie, Otto, Sam, and Twist. Twist is quivering, covering his head with his hands.
TWIST: Is he still coming?
JACINTA: I...I don't know...they've stopped...
Closeup on huddle. A simeoltaneous "Break!" is heard. The three prance up to the Rocket crew, obviously trying to act cool.
LARS: Well, well, if it isn't the Dork Quartet! and their....um....
His voice lessens in "coolness" and volume.
LARS: ....friend....
Lars stalks over to Twister, grabs him by his collar, and holds him in the air.
LARS: Yep, I think it's time for your daily whomping!
Twister looks at Jacinta, begging for her help with his eyes. She comes out of her weird trance and talks in a stuttering, unsure tone.
JACINTA: Yo, dude, uh...(pause) lighten up. Kid ain't done nothing to ya....let him go.
Lars sighs "Huh...." uneasily. He loosens his grip on Twist. He looks back at her with soft expression [Closeup on Jacinta's face.] then back to Twister with a killer's countenence.
LARS(talking to Jacinta): Why do you care?
Jacinta is taken back by this question. Her face softens even more. She seems like she's in another world.
JACINTA: Because...I don't like seeing people hurt for nothing...and besides....he's my friend. Please put him down.
Lars drops Twister and turns.
LARS: You got really lucky, shrimp.
He starts walking away toward his stunned cronies, but as he passes the new girl, he grows a little nervous, shown in his face.
PI: Hey man, that's it? So she said please, big deal!
Lars holds his fist up to Pi's face and grits his teeth.
LARS: I'll be whomping YOU if you don't move!
Pi holds up his hands in surrender. The three boys walk off. Twister breathes a relieved sigh.
REGGIE: Wow, you really saved the day, Jacinta!
At the sound of her name, Lars looks back. Jacinta looks back at the same time. When they see the other looking, they both blush and look forward. Lars, Pi, and Sputz are now far away, out of earshot.
TWISTER: I can't believe it...you rule, Jacinta!
SAMMY: You didn't even have to fight him...wow, what a way with words!
OTTO: THAT was SO cool!
Jacinta smiles a little. She looks down.
REGGIE: Jacinta, what's wrong?
JACINTA(looking up): Hmm? Oh, nothing...
Reggie is obviously suspicious, but says nothing.
REGGIE: Ok. (she wipes her brow and pauses) Whew, it's hot out here. Anyone want a drink?
A chorus of agreeing voices erupt. They walk inside the Rocket's house. )
