01x02 - The New Kid

[bunniefuu]

Testing one, two, three.

Dear Crystal.

That doesn't sound right.

Otherwalk, Day .

That was just weird.

Okay, I'm just gonna start
and hope this is working.

Dear Athenia.

Others, what can they teach me?

Nothing about flying.

And that boy I like?

Tristan is even more
amazing in person,

but the direct approach
didn't exactly work.

Now that our paths
have intersected,

why waste any more time?

I wonder how he'd react if
he found out I was a fairy?

How would any of them react?

I'm not sure.

I just want to fit in.

I'm from riiiiiiight...

Here.

What kind of Geography are
they teaching in England?

The right kind.

But someone should
really proofread this map.

They spelled Atlantis wrong.

'Atlanta?'

And it's totally in
the wrong place.

Give her a break,
Mr. Trainer.

English is her second language.

Devon, they speak
English in England.

Touché, sir.

Well played.

Astral, better study.

You got a test coming up.

Test?

You're kidding.

You went to a school
without tests?

That is the coolest.

I want to be English,
accent and all.

How about you both
study for your test?

I would be happy to tutor...

You know what?

I'm not gonna bother.

Arghhh!

Ahhhh!

Please don't eat me.

Ahhhh!

Look, I'm sorry.

Whatever I've done, we
can talk about it, right?

Edgar.

He's not for eating.

What is your name?

I'm Winston Percival Althazar.

Exchange student.

Are you the headmaster?

Rare.

An Other entering
the Second Kingdom?

Perhaps Edgar should eat him.

No.

He's Astral's shield
until she comes home.

Or decides to stay an Other.

The Princess will return home.

Enjoy your exchange here.

It should be very educational.

They've officially
announced the Dance.

I love dances, so
full of Enchantments.

A lady's slipper,
A silken glove...

Fairies fly and conjure love!

My fave.

How did you know that?

Morgan knows all
that Fairy Jazz.

She's been reading about
them since she was like two.

Oh my Goblin.

Can we be besties?

We should all go to
the dance together.

Nope.

Yes!

No way.

Too many questions
need to be answered.

What to wear?

Who to ask?

You're scared no one
will dance with you.

I'm scared no one
will dance with me.

Hey!

Come on!

Everybody loves to dance.

You're just not getting

the under-the-radar
concept on any level.

See wasn't that fun?

A blast.

Girls will want to
dance with you.

You're not a troll.

Thank you, but I am
the invisible kid.

Observe.

Hi Paula.

It's me, Devon.

We've been in class together
since we were six.

Doesn't ring a bell.

Just stating a fact.

No one notices me.

Ergo, no one will want
to dance with me.

Devon!

Oh, look at you.

Aww.

I guess someone has a crush.

Princess, I am
Athenia's most fierce warrior,

even if I am
teeny-tiny.

I cannot protect you

if I am locked away
like a common criminal.

Oswald, I can't risk
you being seen by Others.

This is my job, princess...

Hey!

New girl!

I'm your assigned exchange
program Big Sister.

I've never had a sister!

We could share clothes and
fight over who mom loves more!

It's my job to make
sure that you fit in,

and I'm getting graded on this
and I really need an "A".

So say and do what I tell you

and no one will know what a
strange-o you are, okay?

Follow!

Please, won't someone
tell me where I am?

Anyone?

You are in Athenia.

Athenia?

Is that the name of
my dormitory house?

Can you show me where it is?

Somewhere to unpack?

This suitcase wasn't meant to
survive such rugged conditions.

Oh my!

There is nothing rugged
about these woods, little one.

They're more
wondrous than anything

you could ever
experience in your world.

Can you tell me
when I might receive

a schedule of my classes?

They're all around you.

The trees, the plants,
the flowers,

each one of them has
a lesson to share.

Isn't that right, Beauregard?

Of course Mommy and
Daddy would send me here.

Always wanting me to be
a botanist just like them.

Patience, young Other.

All will be revealed
to you in time.

Well, this is all rather
strange and...

different than I expected.

But it's nothing I
can't handle, no sir.

There's nothing that can bring
Winston P. Althazar down!

Ah, blast it!

The first thing you need to know

is you have to dress
for the life you want.

Not the life you have.

Oh I want an Other life.

Everybody does.

And that Other life starts now.

In high school it isn't what
you know, it's who you know.

I know him!

You're my little basketball

and I just want to
dribble you forever.

And her!

You really need to stop
bothering Paula, Devon.

They're my friends.

Cute.

Not anymore.

Is high school
always so dramatic?

Only for the Drama Club.

But don't sit with them.

They'll only want you to
watch them practice crying.

Pay attention.

Over there, the Debutantes.

They live life by
a specific code.

"Me Wanty,
Me Getty."

They were born rich

and they preserve their
brains by not using them.

There's the Futures.

With their weird ideas for apps,
one day they'll rule the world.

Then there's the six packs.

Athletes.

They're generally cute and
they throw the best parties.

So many options.

Who do you sit with?

No one.

I'm my own clique.

Friendly to all,
besties to none.

That way I get invited
to all the parties.

Hey Tristan!

Hey!

Hey!

Tristan, hi!

Not cool.

Okay?

Keep your eye on the prize.

Devon!

Ahh!

I thought you
were you-know-who.

Who, your friend, Paula?

She seemed to really like you.

Shhh!

Don't say her name!

And she's not my friend.

Why?

Devon!

Ah.

That's why.

Here, wear my sweatshirt.

Fine.

First order of business.

Contouring.

This is amazing...

I know, right?

I watch a lot of videos online.

It isn't as easy as it looks.

And k*ller cheekbones
are key to a power stance.

Toilets will never
stop being funny.

Flush!

If you want another
life, Astral...

That's the whole
reason I'm here.

To experience an Other life.

To see what they see,
to feel what they feel.

Then you have to leave
your old self behind.

Create a new you by shedding
the skin of your past.

That's what snakes do.

Exactly.

The world is made up of
winners and losers, Astral.

Which are you going to be?

They're all staring at us.

Feel the power.

When you look
cool, you are cool.

Hey Tristan!

Hey!

Hey Tristan!

What are you doing?

'Keeping my eye
on the prize.'

Just like you said.

Don't keep your
eye on that prize.

He's spoken for.

Keep your eye on...

one of those little
participation trophies.

♪ Tell me you remember
my name ♪

♪ Cause when the
lights go out ♪

This way.

Hey Morgan.

Hey.

Your new hair-do is more
of a new hair-don't.

Well, Hailey said it
would make me happy,

but I can't tell if it's working

because I'm usually
pretty happy.

Hey, Astral.

Hey Devon.

Why is he under the table?

Hiding from his new
best friend, Paula.

Is she out there?

No.

All clear.

Devon, you know she's acting
that way because she likes you.

So are you gonna
ask her to the dance?

No way.

She scares me.

Oh I get it.

You want someone less
intense and more fun.

I don't want anyone.

Less imp, more nymph.

Devon!

You are just the cutest.

Here, you look hungry.

Sorry, excuse me.

Sorry.

You look so cute
when you're hungry.

Selfie!

Perf.

Look!

I have an app that shows
what we'll look like

after fifty years together.

Ahhh!!!!

I know, right?

Hilar.

Devon!

What are you doing?

Not aging well.

Help me.

I am never ever gonna
use geography.

Hold still.

What was Hailey thinking?

Ugh.

If I need to get somewhere,
I'll just follow the stars.

Ugh finally, home at last.

You have to pass the test.

I don't understand why.

If I don't, do the
birds stop chirping?

Do the bees stop buzzing?

Worse.

Summer school.

Wow.

Don't worry, we're not
going to let that happen.

No girl has ever looked at
me ever in my entire life,

and then one day...

Bam!

I'm irresistible.

What changed?

Maybe the girls did?

Maybe you started
using deodorant?

I'm gonna go with Astral's idea.

I thought I was the only
one that ever called you?

You are.

This is Unknown.

It might be
a robo-caller.

Oh no.

The uprising has begun.

Devon.

Answer the phone.

Give me Astral.

How did you get my number?

It was written on
the girls' room wall.

Really??

No.

Give me Astral.

Oh, is Hailey
crushing on you now?

Hey 'Stral.

The Six Packs are having
a party tomorrow night.

I told them I'd work the door.

Anyway, as my personal
protegé, you have to be there.

Six Pack party.

Huge.

Tristan will for sure be there.

Say yes.

Okay, yes.

We would love to go.

I don't want to go to that.

Good.

Because you aren't invited.

And before you ask,
neither is Morgan.

Uhh.

We can hear you.

I know.

Astral, your new life
starts tomorrow night.

And BTW, your hair was way
better the way I did it.

Byeee.

That one is ruthless.

Don't worry, she
didn't mean that.

I'll talk to her.

A party with Tristan!!!

Well Geography, see
you in summer school.

I'm still your friend Morgan.

Yeah, but not my bestie.

Bestie?

Like a pal.

Someone you can
tell anything to.

Girls, right?

They can't get enough of me.

Well, I've got to head to class.

By the way, camo is
not working, G.I. Dev.

Wow.

Two people have professed
their love for you!

Sooo.

Which one are you
gonna ask to the dance?

Paula crushes me every
time she says hello

and Mindy hasn't stopped
talking since she said hello.

They're just a bit enthusiastic.

Like pixies after eating too
much honey, it freaks them out.

But I see what you mean now.

You need someone
more low-key.

I wrote you a song.

Me?

♪ Devon, your voice
is from above. ♪

♪ Devon, I'd go anywhere
to find your love. ♪

I gotta go.

Me too.

With you.

Forever.

You have to come to the party.

But Devon and Morgan
are my besties.

I can't go without them.

Devon's a social
outcast by choice,

which makes him
a little interesting.

But Morgan?

She's not ready
for the big leagues.

Can she get ready?

A complete makeover
could be a start.

There's my little
Devvy-Wevvy.

I haven't talked to
you for two hours.

Haven't you been
getting my texts?

Or IMs?

Or DMs?

Or M&M's?

I wrote an epic
love poem about us.

It's called, "Have
You Felt The Wind:"

The Clover and
Devon Story."

Us?

You've been seeing other girls?

Oh no you did not!

You're a cheat?!

I'm...

No...

Girls...

I think there's been some
kind of misunderstanding.

Yeah, pages of
misunderstanding.

How could you do that to her?

How could you do
that to any of us?

Hold on!

Help!!!

Assist-Moi!

Assist-Moi!

Something is seriously
wrong with the world.

This isn't Outdoor
Adventure school.

Oh my!

You pop in and out of thin air,

and there's a giant?

Are you circus people?

Oh Other your mind is too simple
to comprehend what we are.

I don't know about that.

Father says I've the
potential to be an Oxford man.

We are a people as
old as the planet.

We have mastered the
secrets and power of nature

and are its protector.

So you're not circus people?

Hardly.

If we were circus...

I've got it!

I'm at Wizard school.

I can't believe this is real.

I've always wished to
go to wizard school.

And now I'm here.

Brilliant!

To think I was mad at
mommy and daddy!

They listened to me, they really
know what I want out of life!

And I never want to leave here.

When do I get my wand?

You.

Look.

Great.

How do I look?

Worthy of Robin Goodfellow.

Oh, is that the cafeteria
lady with the mustache?

No, Devon.

He's the fairy from A
Midsummer Night's Dream.

Hello?

The play we're
reading in English.

Name?

You know my name.

It's Astral.

Entrez-vous, VIP
party in the gardy!

And Morgan and Devon.

Oh, they followed you.

Do you want me to call security?

They have security?

That is so cool.

Not per se, they just have
a really mean chihuahua.

So, no list-y,
no entry.

Hey Astral, don't
worry about it.

We'll see you later.

Have fun.

Byeee!

Come on, Astral.

I didn't want to be
here to begin with.

Let's go.

Astral!?

Hey Tristan.

I like your flowers.

You like them?

Yeah.

It's a really pretty look.

Hi Tris.

You don't have to tell
me your name, I know it.

It's Tristan.

Tristan!

The party's this way.

Sir.

I know you have a crush on
him, but I saw him first.

Sisters before misters.

Astral, Morgan and
I are gonna head out.

You said you wanted
another life Astral.

Well, another life awaits.

Don't worry Astral,
we got to the door.

Almost as good as the party.

Good friends.

Byeee.

Love the wings.

Come on, step into
your new life Astral.

You're right.

They are good friends

and I like the life I've
already stepped into.

Hey guys.

You could have been a winner!

Tristan!

They'll still have
a great party.

Cool kids always win.

Maybe not.

I keep telling you,
Atlan-TA is a place.

Major airline hub.

Great BBQ.

Completely submerged
under water.

You're lucky this is only
ten percent of your grade.

Well, I can no longer
hide from their affections.

It stops today.

I am here to apologize
for misleading you ladies

in the affairs of the heart.

It's me, Devon.

You wrote me a poem.

You baked me cookies.

You called me your basketball!

Yeah right.

Who are you?

Freshman, whatever.

What happened?

Enchantments don't last forever.

Enchantments?

Like fairy spells?

Love.

What I meant to say was, love
doesn't always last forever.

Hey!

What happened to you last night?

I had something to
do with my friends.

That's us.

Me and her.

Well, you're lucky.

After you guys left it
started raining so hard.

The yard flooded and the DJ blew
the power for the entire block.

I've said it a thousand times.

Always ground
your outdoor plugs.

Another time, maybe?

Another time!

Absolutely!

Any time!

Really Tristan!

Call me!

He's totally crushing on her.

Is it getting brighter in here?

Down princess, down!

Control yourself!

Everybody is
just looking to fit in.

Whether it's to a clique.

Or to a country.

Here.

Or to someone special.

The feeling you get when you're
in the exact right place.

Or with the exact right people.

Makes you feel like
you're home again.

Make all the friends
you want, Princess.

Home is a place you
will never see again.
