(Establishing Shot – The MHS office. SYD and SAM sit, SYD looks scared and SAM just looks like she doesn't care. Both of them have orange marks on their faces)

SYD: But...AUNT JESSIE, it wasn't my fault! I didn't know...

SAM: SYD doesn't know anything, MRS. BARKIN. At all.

SYD: (continuing, glares at SAM) I didn't know that the flames from my claws would cause a chemical reaction!

JESSIE: (pacing. She stops and stares at SYD) HOW ON EARTH COULD YOU NOT KNOW, SYDNEY REN?!

SYD: Uh...because I'm not smart...?

SAM: Bingo!

(JESSIE and SYD glare at SAM)

SAM: ....What?

(JESSIE slaps her hand to her forehead)

JESSIE: (To SYD) YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT FLARING YOUR HANDS DURING A CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENT WOULD CAUSE THAT?! YOU BLEW UP HALF THE SCIENCE LAB!!! (walks to her desk and sits down)

SYD: (inspecting her nails) And I didn't even chip a nail.

JESSIE: (hits her head on the desk, then looks up) Suspension.

SYD: How long?

JESSIE: Half as long as you're grounded.

SYD: Ah, I can deal with that.

(Later, SYD and SAM walk out of the office.)

SAM: You're toast.

SYD: Heck yeah.

SAM: ...Can I have your stereo?

SYD: (glares)

SAM: What?

(Cut to an FBI office. SYD and DES stand, in mission gear. DES is wearing a SHEGO-style suit in blue and silver colors, with the same type of belt as SYD.)

AGENT: SYD?

SYD: Yeah?

AGENT: The government of Thailand is in danger.

SYD: Aaaaaaaand...?

AGENT: We're sending you and DES to protect them.

SYD: What?!

AGENT: SYD, do you know what would happen if there were no government to protect a country?

SYD: Chaos?

AGENT: (sarcastically) Good guess.

SYD: (beams)

AGENT: You will be masquerading as a panther.

SYD: Say what?

DES: They don't keep panthers as pets in Thailand!

AGENT: Yes..well, we...er...

(The AGENT turns around nervously)

SYD: Nice point, sis.

(SYD and DES bump fists. SYD flares hers)

DES: Ow. Ow.

SYD: Oh...sorry.

(Beat)

SYD: This is too cool!
