(It's morning, as the birds chirped. Sam woke up, yawning. She looked at the calendar, as she looked at today's date. Today is a special day. Today is Picture Day. Sam is getting ready for her picture, as she went to school. She saw Alex & Cathy.)
Sam: Hey guys. Are you ready for picture day?
Alex: I'm not entirely sure. Remember what happened last time I had my picture taken?
(flashback to when the first picture day was around. Alex is flashed at with a camera which startles him & has him jump up & cling onto a prop of a tree.)
Cathy: Alex, you've gained a better tolerance to that kind of stuff overtime.
Alex: True but I still feel like my nerves are on end when around flash photography. Kind of how you were around Jeremy.
Cathy: Point taken.
(Principal Rollins appears)
Principal Rollins: Miss O' Hara!
Sam: What is it?
Principal Rollins: Head to my office straight away! We have some talking to do.
Sam: Okay. (She looks at her two friends) I'll see you guys later. I'd better see what she wants.
Alex: Fair enough.
Cathy: We'll see you when we'll see you.
Sam: Okay. (Then at the office, Mr. and Mrs. O'Hara looked at Sam.) What's going on?
Principal Rollins: It is against the school rules to harm others.
Sam: What are you talking about? Who hurt who exactly?
(Principal Rollins shows a picture of Sam hurting Jeremy.)
Sam: Wha? But I didn't remember doing that at all! I would never do that to-
Principal Rollins: I want to believe you O' Hara. But until we can get to the bottom of this you are to serve detention here posthaste!
(Cut to later we see Alex & Cathy sitting down to each lunch with Speedy, Danny & Chris.)
Alex: I wonder what's taking Sam so long.
Speedy: I heard that she had to serve a detention.
Cathy: What, why?
Speedy: It says that Sam was hurting Jeremy.
Danny: What? That's impossible. Sam wouldn't hurt anyone.
Speedy: Well whatever the case is. It seems it's gotten Jeremy into a traumatized state. (See Jeremy in the distance cowering under a tree) He wont speak to anybody about what happened after what occurred with Sam.
Cathy: I cant believe I'm going through with this. (She walks over to Jeremy) Are you okay, Jeremy? You don't really seem to be yourself. (Jeremy just remains silent)
Jeremy: I swear. I didn't mean to get Sam in trouble. I only told Principal Rollins that the attacker looked like Sam. I didn't expect she would get a detention. Oh this is all my fault! (Starts crying)
Cathy: Hey calm down. We're trying to clear Sam's name & we though that you would be able to help us do that. Now what did your attacker look like?
Jeremy: Well they looked just like Sam did just for one minor thing. They were completely see through. Almost as if they were made of Jell-o.
(Cathy looks & sees that Jeremy's does in fact look like it had been hit by something or someone.)
Jeremy: And the one that attacked me left a golden gelled residue wherever it went.
(Jeremy shows them a jar of the golden gel)
Chris: Hey Cathy, didn't you say that Principal Rollins had an odd trail following her this morning?
Cathy: Well yeah, but I didn't think too much of it.
Alex: Hm.. There's only one thing it could be.. A sticky.
(Then one of the students, Harrow, enters.)
Harrow: Hey Cathy.
Jeremy: Oh no it's him! (Jeremy cowers behind Cathy & Alex) Use your alien powers or something.
Harrow: What's wrong with him?
Cathy: It's a long story.
(Meanwhile in Room 211 (A.K.A. The Detention Prison.) Sam entered the room, as she saw Tema, Sean, and Wendy)
Sam: Hey what are you guys in here for?
Tema: I got framed for dumping something into the hallway drinking fountains. But I did no such thing!
Wendy: I got framed for filling the girls' lockers with glitters.. And surprise glitters.
Sean: I got detention for kicking the ball through 9 windows! But I didn't do it.
Principal Rollins: Listen up, Rugrats! You aren't going anywhere until the end of school! And you will not go to any school events, even Picture Day.
Sam: WHAT!?
Principal Rollins: And be quiet!
(Principal Rollins closed the door, locking it in the process.)
Sam: No.. No, no, no!
Tema: Dang it..
(Sam bangs her head into the door, multiple times)
Sean: Wait a minute. I think I know how to get out of here.
Sam: You do?
Sean: Don't you guys have secret exits around in the schools to your clubhouse?
Sam: Well yeah but I don't think there are any in here.
(Meanwhile outside we see Cathy playing soccer with the rest of the team)
Harrow: Hi Cathy. Where's Alex? I thought he was on your team.
Cathy: I think we went to see what caused all of those detentions.
(See Alex searching around the school a la Sherlock Holmes)
Alex: Hmmm.. (Then he spots an odd trail of golden goop) Huh? Goop? Hey guys I think I found something. (His V-Com isn't working properly.) Guys? Why is the V-Com not work- (Two goopy hands grabbed him, as it pulled him up)
(Back with the others.)
Danny: Guys, what's wrong with our V-coms?
Cathy: I don't know.. I can't hear Alex though.
Danny: I've lost contact with Franky & Mimi as well. Even Jeremy has vanished.
Harrow: Hey guys. I was kind of wondering if I could show you something for a second.
(Then they went to a trail of golden goop.)
Danny: Weird.
Speedy: Who caused this?
(Harrow vanishes)
Speedy: Harrow? Harrow?
(Danny looks around.)
Danny: Uhh.. Where's Chris?
(Chris is no where in sight)
Cathy: He was with us a second ago.
(Back in the detention room, Sam continues to bang on the door.)
Wendy: Sam stop for a moment. I think I hear something.
(Sam stops to then hear more banging coming from the same room)
Sam: What is that?
Tema: It's coming from in there.
(Sam opens the door to see Principal Rollins tied up)
All: Principal Rollins?!
(Sam unties her)
Principal Rollins: Alien! (Runs away)
Sam: Alien?
Tema: You don't think that..
(Then...)
?: Hello, Sammantha.
Sam: Gluten! I should've expected much from you.
Gluten: And I had backup.(He shows a picture of a golden sticky) Say hello to my nephew. Harrow.
All: Nephew?
Sam: Where are our friends?!
Gluten: One by one I've had him make sure to take out every single one of you along with those you have become affiliated with. (Sam grabs her blaster but Gluten crushes it) That isn't going to help you out this time.
(Meanwhile with the others.)
Cathy: What is it you plan on showing us anyway?
Harrow: Oh you'll see soon enough.
(Speedy then notices that he is leaving a trail of golden goop behind as he walked)
Speedy: Wait a minute.
Harrow: What is it?
Speedy: You got something trailing off on the back of your leg.
Cathy: (gasp) like how Principal Rollins had a trail following her this morning.
(Harrow sees this)
Harrow: Oh that? I was just going to resolve that with you guys. You want to know who's behind all of those detentions? (Harrow then transforms into a golden sticky) I am.
Cathy: What have you done to our friends.
Harrow: Oh if you look behind me you can see that they have been well cared for.
(look behind Harrow to see Alex, Jeremy, Franky, Chris, & Mimi all trapped in golden goop struggling to free themselves)
Cathy: Guys!
Gluten: Good job, Nephew.
(See Gluten has trapped Sam, Tema, Wendy & Sean.)
Danny: You wont get away with this Gluten!
Gluten: I already have soldier boy.
(Danny grabs his blaster but Harrow crushes it)
Harrow: Let's see how you will be able to stop us without the use of your gear.
?: Stand back everyone!
(look in the distance to see Principal Rollins carrying a One-Blast.)
All: Principal Rollins!?
Principal Rollins: Nobody ties me up & throws me into the detention room closet without getting away with it!
Danny: How do you even get that?
(Mr. Smith comes out from behind her)
Mr. Smith: eh heh.
Alex & Cathy: Figures.
Principal Rollins: You release my students this instant!
Harrow: Oh you are going to do nothing. Now just go back to that closet & act like you're still tied up like I left you.
(Gluten & Harrow blasted goop on them to which Rollins avoids easily)
Principal Rollins: You things are absolutely messy you know that!?
(She smacks Harrow with the One-Blast & then shoots at the goop trap. Freeing her students.)
Harrow: How di-?
Everyone: Get Them!
(They attacked the two Stickies.)
Harrow: (struggling, as he fights Sam)
Sam: This is for making me miss the picture day event!
Harrow: You humans are unbelievable! Uncle was right! You do capture aliens! You make them your prisoners! You're evil!
(Sam stops fighting as everyone looks at Harrow is disbelief)
Alex: Us?
Cathy: Evil?
Harrow: Uncle said you capture them so that you can take all of them. Right, uncle?
Gluten: Ah! Yes, my nephew! Humans are ridiculous! They hurt aliens like us! They use them!
Franky: That is a flat-out lie & you know it!
Harrow: Wha?
Alex: Your Uncle is the one who captures aliens for profit!
Cathy: You're looking at two of them right now.
Harrow: (looks at Gluten) Profit? But you said you will save the aliens from enemies. They are true.. Right? (Harrow stepped back a bit, walking to the window which leads down to a high drop.) Right, Uncle?
Gluten: Harrow tell me. Who do you trust more? Your own cell & goop uncle, or these circus freaks of nature?
Harrow: I.. I don't know who to trust anymore.. I.. (falls down) Ahh!
Gluten: Harrow!
(Sam gasped and went after Harrow. She jumped and grabbed his goopy hand.)
Harrow: (whimpering)
(Sam's other hand holds the corner of the school)
Sam: I got you!
Gluten: ...
(Sam's hand starts to lose grip as she begins to falls too when..)
Sam: Woah.. (Sam closes her eyes, then Gluten grabbed her hand) Huh?
Gluten: Hold on! I got you both! (He lifted them up. Harrow is now at the point of bursting into tears.) It's gonna be okay. Harrow.
Harrow: Why? Why did you lie to me!?
Gluten: I had to. In order to redeem myself. (flashback) After the previous encounter with the MBC Raga ended up firing me in the most disgraceful way that he could think of. (Gluten sighed, then he went back to his planet. He saw a happy Harrow waving to him)
Flashback Gluten: Harrow. I need your help with something.
Harrow: Sure, I'll be happy to help. What is it?
(End of flashback)
Gluten: I never meant to have you become involved, but I had to redeem myself in any way possible. But when I saw you were about to fall. I.. I realize.. I was sending you to the end.. I was so worried... I was so worried about you! (He looks at Sam) Thank you for risking your neck just to saving Harrow when you did. He's the only family I have left.
Sam: Only family? What happened to his parents?
Harrow: Raga happened.
(Flashback to Raga killing every Sticky Harrow knew)
Gluten: Raga may've been my boss, but he is absolutely heartless. And will near anything just to have his way. (sniff) even if it means going after the ones you love the most.
(Harrow sniffed, then he hugged Gluten.)
(Danny is seen tearing up a little)
Franky: Danny? Are you crying?
Danny: No. I got... sweat in my eyes..
Wendy: (giggles) Looks like Mr. Cool & Hard has a mushy side. (Franky stares at Wendy) What?
Gluten: I'm sorry I lied to you..
Harrow: You promise it wont happen again?
Gluten: After what has happened today I'm certain.
Cathy: Grandpa? We shouldn't capture them.
Mr. Smith: I agree.
Principal Rollins: I'll let them off the hook as long as they promise to clean up the damage they've done to my school.
Harrow: We promise.
Alex: Principal Rollins. I'm sorry I have to do this.
Principal Rollins: Wait, what are you doing with tha-
(Alex blasts the memory eraser at Rollins causing her to be knocked out. Everyone looked at him.)
Alex: What? We can't risk having a teacher telling everyone about us.
Mr. Smith: Trust me she'll catch onto us again soon enough.
Sam: (looks at her hair) Man, my hair is a mess! I have goop all over!
Harrow: Don't worry! I'll fix it.. (he strokes her hair and fixes it, turning it into a curly hair with a golden streak) There we go.
Alex: I didn't even know you guys could do that.
Harrow: We stickies are naturals to crops.
(Then later at the gym for picture day.)
Sam: (hums) Oh! It's almost time! Hurry, guys! Even you, Harrow.
Harrow: What? But I don't really attend school here.
Gluten: Well you do now. I've decided that we shall live here peacefully.
Sam: Come on! (Harrow chuckles)
(The team came, with cool hairstyles. Harrow & Gluten came in his human disguise)
(Juan arrives)
Juan: Hey guys. What did I miss? (Juan sees the camera set up.) Oh, I didn't even know picture day was today. (He sees Harrow) And you are?
Harrow: Harrow. Pleased to meet you.
Sam: Juan, where've you been?
Juan: Oh I was on a family trip for a few days. But I'm back now.
Mr. Fusster: How about a picture of you guys together?
(he looked at the team)
Harrow: Uh.. Okay
Mr. Smith: Smile everyone.
(Everyone smiles for the picture as a flash of light appears & vanishes to show the group photo as the Marathon Logo appears.)
