The camera goes back to Jenny looking towards the front of the line and then looking down at SHELDON
JEN

Jenny walks a few steps
TUCKER runs into the gymnasium and crashes into Jenny

BRAD

Brad looks over to his next class. Brad starts to walk away
JEN
Looks at this
Brad pauses and turns around and looks at her
JEN (CONT'D)
You're going to just leave a girl in need.
Brad turns back as he is walking through the doorway.
BRAD
Uh Sorry gotta go
Brad exits into the class room
JEN
Go catch your brother.
TUCKER
But...
Just then MRS.WAKEMAN calls Jenny on her screen
JEN
Aar not now. Could her timing get any worse?
TUCKER
But your mother is calling...
Jenny ignores the call for a while, trying to get the gum off her shoe
MRS WAKEMAN
XJ9 come in...
Jenny still struggling with the gum as it is getting all over her hands
MRS WAKEMAN (CONT'D)
XJ9 Report. There is a disturbance downtown I need you pronto.
Jenny expands her screen
JEN
Mother your timing is like so off. I'm in a real sticky situation here
MRS WAKEMAN
Are you battling some kind of blob Monster.
JEN
No gum, and I think it's winning
The gum is all over her.
MRS WAKEMAN
Why didn't you switch to force field mode? That should release the gum.
JEN
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Jenny activates the mode and the gum disintegrates off of her.
MRS. WAKEMAN
Now that, that's taken care of I need you to stop The Goliath.
JEN
Mother could it wait? I want to tryout for cheerleading
Just then Brittany and Tiffany look at Jenny who is up next
TIFFANY

MRS. WAKEMAN (O.S.)
XJ9!
BRITTNEY
This is the last day for tryouts
Jenny is about to blast when she looks back at the girls
JEN
Sorry, Brittany and Tiffany. I have this cheer all worked out and every thing but I have to ...Well you know.
BRITTNEY
If you can't find the time then don't ever bother showing up.
JEN
(upset)
What! No...
Jenny blast off
While in flight
JEN (CONT'D)
(to herself
Mother sometimes you make me so mad...
Jenny then sees the Goliath monster in the distance
JEN (CONT'D)
Today is not your day Goliath cause you just ruined my plans!
Jenny speeds toward the Goliath.
Tiffany excuses herself from the table
TIFFANY
Excuse me Britney
BRITTNEY
Sure girl
Tiffany goes outside the gym to the hallway and calls her uncle
TIFFANY
Uncle Novax. The Jenny project just left...
Meanwhile across town not to far from where the Goliath is being fought by Jenny a new mad scientist Named NOVAX is finishing his killing machine. His Machine is bigger than the Goliath it is called ZAVON. Using a fire truck like hose, Novax is spraying the robot with an indestructible protection seal. Being that the Robot is so big Novax's assistant TROY holds the back end of the hose.
NOVAX
Just a few more feet and it will be ready to fight for us.
TIFFANY (V.O.)
I want her out of the way.
NOVAX
That will be my pleasure.
Novax hangs up the phone
NOVAX (CONT'D)
...a little more to go...
Just when Novax reaches the heel of his robot the spray becomes exhausted
NOVAX (CONT'D)
What... huh...
Novax looks at the nozzle of his hose and sees no more fluid
NOVAX (CONT'D)
I don't believe this...
Novax paces back and forth upset.
Novax assistant heads towards the computer
NOVAX (CONT'D)
My plans are ruined! I can't take over the world with this thing. It's only 95 indestructible. I need it at full strength.
Novax assistant returns
TROY
Excuse me sir but who's going to know that other than you and I?
Novax stops and turns towards Troy
NOVAX
You're right. Before I start my mission I'll have ZAVON knock over a few banks. We need more money to make more formula.
TROY
Whatever...
Meanwhile Jenny then knocks off the head of the Goliath as it rolls into the scene. She then lands beside it slapping her hands clean from a clean defeat.
JEN
Maybe next time you'll think twice about changing my schedule...Oh I sorry I forgot you have no head to think with.
LATER
Jenny arrives in the schoolyard seeing Tucker's fall down.
TUCKER
Uh...are you checking up on me Jenny?
JEN
Well I was called...
TUCKER
(cuts in)
...to battle another Monster from out of space!
JEN
Well actually the monster was from Dr. Savannah's back yard.
TUCKER
Wow, how long did it take you to knock this one down?
JEN
Three minutes
TUCKER
Wow that's your best time ever.
JEN
Well that Goliath ruined my try out plans with Brittany and Tiffany
TUCKER
Aar you don't really want to hang out with them do you?
JEN
Come on Tucker, being a cheerleader really makes you popular with the guys.
TUCKER
That again.
Just then Brad shows up
BRAD
Hey Jenny, we have Social Studies next. We're talking about Hercules and Zeus and other cool stuff.
JEN
You think we'll be discussing about Athena.
Brad and Tucker look at Jenny confused
TUCKER
What is your head stuck in neutral or something?
JEN
No why?
TUCKER
Athena?... Every thing is about boys and love.
JEN
If that's part of the class today, I'm there.
Just then Mrs. Wakeman calls Jenny again
MRS WAKEMAN
XJ9 there's another emergency.
JEN
(disappointed)
No not now. I like really wanted to take this class!
MRS WAKEMAN
Sorry XJ9 but this one can't wait.
JEN
Aar Mother but you don't understand. We may be talking about Athena.
MRS WAKEMAN
You do not have time for a love life XJ9 the world is in a turmoil
JEN
(frustrated)
Aar Drat I'm quitting school! And forget me saving the world!
BRAD
But if you do that you'll miss out on a lot of good things.
JEN
What does it matter I'll never have time for it anyway.
Jenny then flies away angry.
MEANWHILE THE NEXT DAY
Zavon is destroying the city
CUT TO:
Jenny is moping in a cave off range from Mrs. Wakeman
CUT TO:
Brad and Tucker are in class learning about Achilles Heel. Tucker raises his hand to answer a question as gabby is reading passage.
GABBY
When Achilles was born, his mother, Thetis, tried to make him immortal by dipping him in the river Styx. As she immersed him, she held him by one heel and forgot to dip him a second time so the heel she held could get wet too. Therefore, the place where she held him remained untouched by the magic water of the Styx and that part stayed mortal or vulnerable.
Tucker calls out
TUCKER
You mean that was his only weakness, the heel of his foot.
TEACHER
Yes. That was the area his mother was holding him by when she dunked him.
BRAD
Wait a minute. The baby could have drowned?
TEACHER
Good point. But I don't think the writer of this FAKE story really thought that one out!
TUCKER
Wow Jenny's really missing a good class today.
MEANWHILE
Jenny is in the cave still moping
JEN
XJ9 do this. Do that. I never have time for school. Why couldn't mother have built me a brother or something to give me a break?
Back in the city Zavon is really making a mess of things.
NOVAX'S LAB
NOVAX
Troy soon we will have the whole world.
TROY
You could have it all for yourself. I'm going to find some real friends...I'm leaving!
NOVAX
But I need you...
TROY
You don't need me you need a tape recorder because all you talk about is taking over the world. Right now that's starting to give me a headache.
Troy exits
NOVAX
But...
Back at the school
Mrs. Wakeman meets up with Brad
MRS.WAKEMAN
Have you seen XJ9... she never came home yesterday
Brittany and Tiff arrive and cut in
BRITTNEY
She's been a no show in all of her classes.
BRAD
Wait you mean she's not with you.
MRS WAKEMAN
No she turned off her scanner
BRAD
That's not good
BACK AT THE CAVE
Jenny decides to take a flight to think
JEN
I have to go think.
IN FLIGHT
JEN
If I were a real girl I wouldn't have to miss out on all the fun stuff at school...
As Jenny is flying through the air she notices the city in a mess.
JEN (CONT'D)
I don't get it. I can't even runaway from trouble.
She then looks left and sees Zavon about to crush a car.
JEN (CONT'D)
Oh no! There are people in that car!
Jenny then pauses
JEN (CONT'D)
Why don't the see that robot
Jenny looks again at the Robot and the people in the car
JEN (CONT'D)
Wait but didn't I decide to give this up.
Jenny P.O.V. Focusing on the car then the people
JEN (CONT'D)
But I can't let them get hurt
Jenny darts and saves the family grabbing the car right before the robot stomps on them.
The LITTLE GIRL sticks her head out of the window while in flight to thank Jenny.
LITTLE GIRL
Thanks.
Jenny then puts car down not thrilled
Jenny starts off
FATHER
Hey my daughter said, "Thanks"
JEN
Yeah... yeah whatever!
Jenny darts away to stop the robot
JEN(IN FLIGHT) (CONT'D)
I guess I have to stop this thing now.
Jenny as of reaching the monster aiming to give him a ramming fist. She is suddenly bounced back hitting the ground below her.
JEN (CONT'D)
I didn't see that one coming.
Jenny stands again and darts again for the Zavon this time
extending her head rays. She shoots them at him and there is no effect.
Jenny gets thrown back onto a building.
Jenny goes back again with different weapons several times as she is constantly being thrown back to the same area.
Almost giving up Jenny stands and just looks at Zavon confused.
JEN (CONT'D)
I hit that thing with every thing I got and I haven't even dented it one bit
Banged up a lot now Jenny then calls Mother
JEN (CONT'D)
Mother...
MRS WAKEMAN
XJ9?...
JEN
Who else would it be?
MRS WAKEMAN
Good point... Where are you?
Jenny is using a blast gun on the monster head. Nothing happens.
CUT TO:
Back at the school. Brad, Tucker and Mrs. Wakeman watch Jenny on screen
JEN
I'm in the middle of fighting this monster
CUT TO:
Jenny swinging at the Robot as it strikes back at Jenny.
Brad and Tucker are listening in on the conversation
JEN (CONT'D)
This one is really hard to stop
Tucker looks up at the professor
TUCKER
Hey...
MRS WAKEMAN
Something wrong young man.
JEN
(fed up)
Mother, I need something here?
Tucker cuts it
TUCKER
Have you tried the heel?
JEN
The what?
BRAD
The heel. Yeah... that could be it. We learned that the other day in Social Studies.
JEN
No I haven't tried that. Why would I?
TUCKER
There's just a 95.6 percent chance that thing would fall if you hit it there. If it doesn't work it could be heading our way and you know what that means…
JEN
No more chances to try out for any other school activates.
TUCKER
I was more like thinking we call could lose our lives but if that's what motivates you to stop that thing it's okay by me.
JEN
I'm on it.
Jenny then races towards the robot's heel. Using her laser blast and cutting hands she heads for the heel
In slow motion she cuts through the robots foot. The robot falls down and hits the ground.
Jenny looks back proudly.
JEN (CONT'D)
Mother Mission completed! Now about school, cause if I went to class I would have probably figured out the part about the heel.
MRS WAKEMAN
You're right XJ9 perhaps I'll call you a little lest then usual.
Jenny smiles at the camera
JEN
Thanks Mother.
Mean while
On the phone with Tiffany
NOVAX
We have to go to plan B...
