Chapter 10: Brendon Makes Kai-Lan Feel Super Happy
"Yep, Candy Chiu and Dawn will become best friends." Rye said.
"That's right. So let me summarize everything just to stay on track. Together, as a team, all members of Team Supernaturals would be close friends. Individually, however, they would share unique dynamics between each other. Candy Chiu and Dawn of Total Drama would discuss the type of guys they like, Gretchen Gritcherson and Penelope von Schweetz would have a some type of friendly rivalry between each other while also bonding over tomboyish things, Gretchen would help Candy find a boyfriend in McGee while Candy would help Gretchen bring out the girliness of her, Dawn and Penelope would share a sister-in-arms relationship whenever they decide to compete on a game show together, Candy and Penelope would find a girlfriend for Ralph, and Gretchen and Dawn can meditate together once Gretchen gets along with Dawn." Edward said.
"Agreed!" Said Rye, Atlas, and Lefty in unison.
"Okay, now that I'm done talking about how the interactions play out for Team Supernaturals, it's time to continue playing 'My Matchmaker'." Said Edward.
"Finally, at least I've been dying to see an ideal match for Team Problem Solvers." Lefty said.
"Yes, Lefty. You finally get the chance to see them now." Said Edward.
"You guys can go on ahead playing the game." Rye said. "I'm gonna get ready to go to work."
"Wait, aren't you going to take your tablet with you?" Atlas asked.
"No, you guys can hold onto it until I come back."
"Okay, thanks." Edward said. Rye then fist bumps the trio and heads upstairs to go to work.
"And then there's 3." Lefty said.
"Yep, just the three of us. Okay, guys. Come closer to see the results of the app." Edward said. "Now then, let's start with Kai-Lan of Team Problem Solvers." Edward then types Kai-Lan's name on the screen. The image loads and shows the head of a light-skinned girl with black hair tied in odango buns and covered by red flowers. Edward presses the 'spin the wheel' button and the wheel spins rapidly until it slowly lands and stops. The wheel landed on an image showing the head of a boy with wiry red hair and a long pointy nose, much to Lefty and Atlas' confusion.
"Looks like the wheel landed on Brendon Small from Home Movies." Said Edward.
"Why does it have to be him of all people?" Atlas asked.
"Yeah, why? Those two can't be compatible." Lefty asked.
"I think I can give you guys a few pointers as to why the wheel landed on Brendon, so bear with me." Edward said while Lefty and Atlas nodded. "Okay, so Brendon is the type of guy who likes to film videos, right?"
"Right!" Lefty and Atlas exclaimed in unison.
"And Kai-Lan likes dinosaurs, correct?" Edward asked again.
"Right again!" Lefty exclaimed.
"Well, imagine Kai-Lan wanting to see a dinosaur in-person and Brendon wanting to film a video about dinosaurs. What do you guys think is gonna happen next?" Said Edward.
"The only thing I can imagine what happens after is Kai-Lan asking her granddad to take her to a museum full of extinct dinosaurs and Brendon doing the same thing with his mom and taking his camera with him." Lefty said.
"My imagination is similar to Lefty's, only without Brendon's camera since he forgot to charge it." Atlas said.
"Okay, you guys both imagined what happens after that scenario. But what if Kai-Lan wanted to see a real dinosaur and what if Brendon wanted to film a video about a real dinosaur? Maybe that could happen at any time." Edward said.
"Except dinosaurs are extinct in their world. How would those two ever get to see them?" Lefty asked.
"Yeah, how?" Asked Atlas.
"Simple. A portal comes out of nowhere. Right behind the two. The portal starts sucking everything in there." Edward said.
"When would an event like that happen?" Atlas asked.
"It would happen at the moment where Brendon is interacting with one of his schoolmates about some type of sleepover, and at the moment where Kai-Lan finished setting up a 'thank you' party for her granddad." Edward said.
"Would everyone be safe from the portal?" Atlas asked.
"Brendon and Kai-Lan's friends are saved from the portal but Kai-Lan and Brendon themselves got sucked into the portal." Edward said.
"Where would the portal take them to?" Lefty asked.
"Well, the portal would drop the two off at a train station. After that, the portal disappears, with Brendon asking it to come back." Edward said.
"Would they be aware of where they are?" Atlas asked.
"Yes, they would. However, both would notice something felt off about the area that surrounds the station in that there are no streets. Just a lot of grass and trees." Edward said.
"I suppose they would ask some characters whom they thought were dressed as dinosaurs about their location. Buddy Tyrannosaur from Dinosaur Train would be an example." Lefty said.
"Actually, Kai-Lan would be the one asking about those types of questions, with the characters informing them that they are in a jungle. Kai-Lan would tell the character that the costume is nice. And Brendon realizes that the characters looking like dinosaurs are really dinosaurs, and he and the dinosaur-looking character literally confirms it after informing her that they're not wearing costumes." Edward said.
"Now that they know the facts, both Kai-Lan and Brendon would have to run for their lives since dinosaurs are kinda monstrous." Atlas said.
"Well, Brendon would actually take Kai-Lan's hand by force to run away from the dinosaurs, with the dinosaurs following after them. On top of that, Brendon is filming the whole scene with his camera." Edward said.
"I suppose Kai-Lan is confused about what just happened." Atlas asked.
"She probably is, but Brendon is the one who is more confused because the dinosaurs in this world are completely friendly, just like Kai-Lan's animal friends in her world. He doesn't realize it as he keeps running around the jungle with Kai-Lan trying a place for safety to get away from the dinosaurs. Each of the places he found for hiding were full of dinosaurs and related creatures. During these times, Kai-Lan tries to explain to Brendon the nature of those critters. Brendon, however, doesn't want to comply with her explanation. The moment the two get backed in a corner to where they can't escape is when Brendon begs for his and Kai-Lan's lives as if he doesn't want to be eaten by those cold-blooded creatures."
"And this is the part where the dinosaurs reply in question about why would they want to eat them, correct?" Asked Lefty.
"Exactly! And that is where Brendon shows confusion and questions the dinosaurs about wanting to eat them to which they deny attempting to. Brendon explains to the dinosaurs that some of their kind in his world prey on the flesh since they're carnivores, and that this may include him and Kai-Lan. The dinosaurs state that while it may be true, dinosaurs in this world are prohibited from eating humans and are only allowed nonhuman creatures and animals if their loved ones are threatened by them." Edward explained.
"With that misunderstanding cleared up, Brendon became friendly with the dinosaurs. Am I right?" Lefty asked.
"Yes, you are, Lefty." Edward said.
"I wonder how Brendon and Kai-Lan's relationship would play out." Atlas said.
"Well, Kai-Lan would be the second female friend that Brendon has made, with the first being Melissa Robbins. And Brendon would probably be the first human friend that Kai-Lan has made since she, her granddad, and her great aunt are the only humans shown in her world. Kai-Lan would ask Brendon about his camera and why he carries it. He tells her that he wants to be a filmmaker when he grows up. He tells her that he has to go through all the trials and challenges that come with it." Edward explained.
"Do you think Kai-Lan would ask Brendon if she would like to be part of the films he makes?" Atlas asked.
"Why would you ask a question like that?" Lefty asked.
"I was thinking if the cameraman who films the show decided to quit, Kai-Lan would be prompted into finding a replacement. Brendan comes in the picture since he has a camera and that it would be an opportunity for Brendon to learn about making a kids' show." Atlas explained.
"I don't think Brendon would want to make a kids' show, but filming an educational video about everyday issues is something he would try to do to impress his mom and friends. So, Kai-Lan asking him to film a video about solving problems in everyday life is something I can see occurring. If Brendon declines, then Kai-Lan would pull the 'Well, that's okay' attitude since she can find someone else to do it. If he accepts, then it would be likely for those two to strengthen their bond. Whenever Kai-Lan is feeling down, he can pull up a video about funny faces since it's what makes Kai-Lan happy. And Kai-Lan will always find a solution to solve Brendon's issues just like everyone. Doing that helps the two bond further. Their bonding got to the point where Kai-Lan started calling Brendon 'Bren-Bren' as an affectionate nickname similar to how she called her granddad 'YeYe'. Brendon would be confused about her calling him that, but he eventually decides to roll with it. At the end of the day, when the two decide to part ways once they found a portal to take them back home, Brendon gives Kai-Lan a video tape as a gift to remember him by, and Kai-Lan tells him that he made her heart feel super happy." Edward explained.
"And this is the part where Kai-Lan kisses Brendon on the cheek for everything he did with her." Lefty said.
"That's right, Lefty. That is exactly what Kai-Lan would do even though I find it to be a little bit out of character for her to do since she comes from a kid's show." Edward said.
"I hope Kai-Lan's voice actor Jade Lianna Peters and the staff of Viacom would be supportive of this pairing. I don't want them saying 'Oh, Kai-Lan can't date Brendon. His nose is too big.' The same thing should apply to the voice actor with the same name as Brendon." Atlas said.
"They have to support this pairing. No matter what you look like on the outside, the only thing that really matters is your personality. It is never fair for others to discriminate against people based on race, species, and facial features. Doing that would make them look villainous." Edward said.
"I'm with you on this one, Ed." Said Lefty. "It's not like they can get away with being racist, right?"
"Right!" Atlas and Edward exclaimed in agreement.
