Ciara: Jo, that was magnificent!

Joey: I could've beat 'em with two Mystical Elf's. He should "stick" with checkers!

Onni: (pulls out a red checker piece out of his pocket and sticks it on CM's forehead) Definitely!

CM: (threateningly) Your days of power are limited, Cadet, yes it is.

Joey: (sarcastic) Ooh, I'm SO scared!

(Further on . . .)

Onni: Yo, have you seen Katherine?

Zed: Nope. Maybe they can't duel.

Onni: Hey! They can duel; Katherine has cards.

Zed: So? Doesn't mean she can duel, does it Joey?

Joey: He's right, Onni.

Onni: Ciara, where're they?

Ciara: Packing-

Onni: WHAT!?

Ciara: Like I said, packing.

Onni: For what?

Ciara: Didn't you hear? A real aunt of theirs passed away. They have to go to her funeral.

Onni: They're returning after that, right?

(E & K appear)

Katherine: Hey guys!

Elizabeth: What's up?

Onni: What's up? I'll tell ya wassup- ya'll's aunt's dead!

Katherine: (sighs) Yeah . . .

Elizabeth: (sniffs) Why did it have to be Auntie Maura? Why couldn't it be Great-Aunt Martha?

Katherine: Huh? We don't have a Great-Aunt Martha!

Elizabeth: We don't?

Katherine: Duh, babosa.

Elizabeth: Bugaboo.

Onni: Habla Espanola? Yo, there're some people who speak Italian and English!

Joey: I thought you were Irish. (scratches his head) Hey, wait a minute! Doesn't that mean you speak Gaelic?

Onni: (stares at Joey) My dad's Italian. (Blink, blink) I never bothered to learn Gaelic, it's too hard.

Joey: Why didn't you say so?

Katherine: K, can you two argue about this later? We came to say adios to you guys. We're leaving HBMA in three hours . . . and we're not coming back ever again-

Onni: You're not!?

Elizabeth: (shakes her head) Nope. We're starting public school back in Fort Worth, esta bien?

Joey: (rolls his eyes) There you go again.

Elizabeth: Sorry. Anway, we can't compete in the tournament 'cause we're leaving soon.

Katherine: And Onni, I've got some bad news.

Onni: Yeah?

Katherine: I'll have to dump you-

Onni: No! You can't!

Katherine: I have to. However, I still want to be your friend.

Onni: What makes the difference?

Katherine: Well, I'll meet cuter guys there-

Onni: Cuter guys? Guys?

Katherine: I'm sorry- but the guys in Tejas (Te-has) are fine-

Onni: Y'know what? Save it! I'm tired of you dumping me and cheating on me! The score's settled! You win at two-timing and breaking hearts- and you just shredded mine! Maybe you'll place high in shredding hearts, too!

Joey: O, this is getting a little too far.

Zed: Yeah man. There are prettier girls here.

(Onni ignores J&Z and storms away)

Katherine: Was it something I said?
