Who is that?

Could that be Raven Baxter?

The fabulous new
fashion reporter

for our school newspaper?

Oh, yeah, baby.

I think it is.

And is that her best
friend, Chelsea Daniels...

The new star photographer...

Taking all the
front page photos?!

Yes, baby, give it to
me! Work it, work it.

Be a tiger, be a tiger.
Yes, growl. Whoo!

Man, I hope we actually
get in our newspaper.

Hmm, we better, girl.

It took me three weeks
to make this outfit.

It took me three weeks
to load this camera.

Here comes the kid.

He stops, he sh**t...

Huh... he scores, boo-yah!

Eddie, you hit the wall.

I can do that.

My bad!

Nice of you to join us, ladies.

We have a saying

here at the barracudian...
"Be on time."

Now, to continue

our lead reporter
and star photographer

will once again be... Serena.

Thank you.

You know, a good reporter
doesn't just cover the news...

She discovers the news.

Thank you.

Now, discover your seat.

To continue, our
junior photographer

will be... Who owns a camera?

Oh! Oh, I do. I do.

Congratulations, Chelsea.

Oh, my gosh, yes, yes!

How can I remember this moment?

Oh.

And our sports
reporter will be Raven.

Sports?

But I really wanted
to cover fashion.

Well, you were fashionably
late, so I gave it to Lester.

Lester?

Whoo!

See, Lester?

Dreams do come true.

Don't worry, Rae.

We're still going
to have a lot of fun.

Right, Serena?

This is not about fun.

This is about reporting the
news and exposing the truth.

And don't expect

to get anything
on the front page.

That's my territory.

♪ Hate her. ♪

♪ Heard that. ♪

Did you just have a vision?

Girl, yes, and we are

about to knock Serena
off the front page.

Boo-yah! Whoo!

Let's go

would be a breeze ♪

Yep, that's me.

It's wide!

Oh, sh**t it, sh**t it!

He scored! Yes!

I got to start wearing a helmet.

Ooh, it's basketball
night at the baxters!

That is basketball, right?

Yeah. The warriors
versus the Lakers.

Ooh, sounds interesting.

Scoochie, scoochie!

Hey!

That's where we sit.

Right, Lionel?

Well, it doesn't have
your name on it.

Yeah, it does.

Where?

We got her.

Look, get up, "rat boy," okay?

I have to watch this.

Rae, since when are
you interested in sports?

Since I became a
sports journalist...

A very serious one, at that.

Who let the Lakers out of
the house looking like that?

Purple and gold,
can we say"clash"?

Can you say it in another room?

'Cause Lionel and I are
trying to watch the game.

Fine, if you don't want me
here and you think I'm going

to be disturbing, you just say
the word and I'm out of here.

Bye.

No, I'm serious.

Bye.

Aw, stop playing,
y'all, come on now...

Okay, bye.

Ooh! Time out.

Bring on the warrior girls.

♪ Ooh, ooh, go, warriors ♪

♪ ooh, mm, mm, mm... ♪

Corey... Corey.

Don't you have a
science project due?

Yeah, you're supposed

to be making a project
of the solar system.

I haven't seen it.

That's 'cause it's
still in my head.

How many times have we told you

that you can't keep
waiting till the last minute?

I can if you help me.

Look, honey, you're
never going to learn

if we always do it for you.

I appreciate that, but
I'm willing to take the risk.

Bye.

Perfect!

Just the way I
saw it in my vision.

Eddie, guard the door.

Everybody's gone home, and yet

you're still here.

Why is that?

Well, I'm not guarding this door

if that's what you're thinking.

Hmm!

I am too good a
reporter to fall for this.

You're obviously
hiding something.

So, you already know
about the roof, huh?

Oops... I've said too much.

No, you said just enough.

Okay, Chelsea, you
need to be standing right...

Right... right about
there, right there.

Yeah, Rae, does he have to
come through this window?

Because, really, the lighting is

so much better
on the other si...

Chelsea, focus!

The camera!

Camera.

Sorry, sorry.

Hey, you're a clown.

Yeah, and I'm guessing

this isn't Casey Epstein's
sixth birthday party.

This is so amazing.

My friend knew that
this was going to happen.

Why, is she, like,
psychic or something?

Oh, yeah, but be quiet, 'cause she
really doesn't want anyone to know.

Yeah, except for us.

Yeah, and her
family... And now, you.

Guys, hello! Zip it.

He doesn't even know your name.

Yeah, Raven.

You knew I was going

to crash through that window?

Actually, yeah.

So, why didn't you open it?

Raven, Chelsea,
fantastic story, huh?

Front page, first time out.

That's pretty good.

One moment.

Maybe a little too good.

How did two rookie reporters
know the exact moment

a skydiving clown would
crash through the window?

The better question is,
"how could you not know?"

Okay, my shining stars

I have a big, big
surprise for you.

Have you heard
of boys in motion?

We love that band.

Yeah. Those boys are,
like, always in motion.

I just got it.

Well... They sent
over two press passes.

I want you

to cover the
concert Friday night.

♪ We are the boys in motion ♪

♪ we give you our
devotion... uh! ♪

♪ We give you our devotion... ♪

Excuse me, senorita Rodriguez.

I-I hate to break
up the show, but...

Raven is the sports reporter

and I believe there's a
basketball game that night.

Say what?

I mean, you put

so much thought and care
into giving us our assignments

I would hate to see the
quality of the newspaper suffer

because we forgot to cover
an important school activity.

Oh, Serena, you
are such a kiss-up.

You will go far.

Chelsea, you cover the concert.

Raven, you cover the game.

No.

♪ Hate her... more. ♪

We got a big game
tomorrow, guys.

I have front row
seats to boys in motion

and I have to sit here
and cover a game.

Basketball... Is so stupid.

Ooh, Rae... I think
you made it mad.

Hey, yo, yo, yo.

I'm sorry about that.

Gino still needs a little
work on his passing.

Yeah. Yo, gino.

You know, I really don't know
that much about sports, Eddie

but how did he get on the team?

You know, we're not sure

but we think he's
related to the coach.

Eddie, let's get to work.

I'm starting you
in the next game.

Di-did you hear that?

Yo, I'm finally
getting to start!

Yay, Eddie!

Dig it! Yay! Whoo!

Whoo, Eddie! Yes!
All right! Yay! Whoo!

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!

Starting what?

I don't know. Yeah.

You had another
vision? Oh, yeah.

I just saw Eddie making
the winning basket

yay. At the final buzzer.

We're going to win
the game tomorrow.

And do you know what that means?

Yes.

No. Should I?

Yes. It means that I know

what's going to happen
before it happens

so I can write the article
and not go to the game.

Do you know what that means?

Yes!

No. Can we please
stop playing now?

Chelsea

I can go to the
concert with you.

Yes, yes.

I love being psychic.

Psychic?

Who's got the scoop now, Raven?

So, should be a
great game tomorrow.

You must be excited.

Oh, yeah, 'cause, you
know, I hope our team makes

more points than the other
team, 'cause, you know

that's how you win
in basketball. Holler.

I bet the crowd goes
wild when Eddie scores

that winning
basket at the buzzer.

Oh, oh, yeah.

I bet they would... if something
like that were to happen

but who's to know, really?

Buh-bye.

Actually... I think you know.

"Eddie wins for fins"?

Where'd you get that?

I found it on the computer

but here's a better question:

"How could you write this today

when the game's
not till tomorrow?"

That's... that's just
a practice article.

Well, you should see my article.

"Psychic freak walks among us"?

Girl...

Girl, you be tripping.

Yeah, well, if the game turns
out the way you predicted

the whole school's
going to be tripping.

See you on the front page.

Rae, I don't know.

Maybe it's time for everyone
to know your secret identity.

Chels, I am
psychic, not batgirl.

Now hold still.

Do you want to look good
for the concert, or not?

Rae, come on,
don't avoid the issue.

Okay, look, what if everyone
finds out you're psychic?

You know, what's the
worst that could happen?

I just want to fit in, Chels

and if Eddie makes
the winning shot

then Serena's going to
print the article about me

and I will be known
as the school weirdo.

Ouch.

I know, it stinks.

No, Rae, you just stuck me.

Sorry.

Mm.

Chels...

I can't let this
vision come true.

Rae, why don't you just
ask Eddie to miss the shot?

That's like cheating.

He would never do that.

You know, I have no choice.

I just have to stop him myself.

Yeah, and you know what, Rae?

I'm going to be
right there with you.

Oh, you go to
the concert, Chels.

You don't have to do that.

Oh, but Rae, sweetie, I do.

You're pinned to my pants.

Huh?

Chelsea. Chelsea!

Chelsea!

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Dad, no!

Don't eat that. Why?

What's wrong with it?

Nothing. It's Neptune.

It's part of Corey's
science project...

The solar system.

Our solar system?

Okay, we're going to lose
the fruit and do this right.

Uh... Victor, I
thought we agreed

to let Corey do this
without our help.

He needs to either
sink or swim on his own.

Hey, guys.

Check it out.

It's a meteor because it's
"meatier" than other planets.

Aha!

You're down here
doing Corey's project.

You can't prove that.

Okay, you can.

Wait a minute.

Is that a glue g*n?

Well, I couldn't sleep

and I thought I'd
catch up on my gluing.

Victor, admit it.

Neither one of us can stand
by and watch Corey fail.

Well, maybe we don't have
to do the whole project for him.

Yeah.

We can just spruce it up a bit.

You're right.

Opening the sprucing machine.

Man!

Time out.

Hi, Raven.

I can't wait for
that final buzzer.

Now that's going to be news.

Good hustle out there.

We can still win this game.

Eddie, don't lose
your confidence.

Keep sh**ting.

Now, coach, do you really
think that's a good idea?

Rae! No, now pay attention.

I am the sports
reporter up in here.

Now, listen up.

We are not going to
pass the ball to Eddie.

I'm a barracuda rooter!

Who are you?! Hey!

Would you get up out of here?

Hey, Rae.

Oh, gosh, I couldn't
enjoy the concert

knowing that my best
friend was here in trouble.

So, you know, I came.

Heard it was canceled.

Yeah, well, there was that too.

Yes!

I'm getting hot,
Rae. I'm feeling it!

I have a feeling
this is going to be

the best issue ever.

I'll be handing out copies
at the end of the game.

Hey, Rae.

I totally took
care of everything.

Let's see them
play without this.

Sic 'em!

No, I'm just... Wait, okay?

I don't think this is necessary.

Listen, you do not understand.

My friend here she is, uh,

a foreign exchange student

and in her country,
stealing a basketball ensures

a plentiful harvest.

She's right, you know.

Well... It's been
nice being normal.

Say hello to the
new school freak.

Hmm. Hmm.

Hey, you want a
piece of the fish?

You want a piece of the fish?

Barry! Barry!

I'm talking trash. Come on.

You want a piece of the fish?

Hey, Barry.

I'm talking trash.

Rae... Rae?

Yo!

Time out!

What are you doing?

Eddie, stop playing with
the fish and get over here.

And now put your fins together

for a Barry, our
bayside barracuda!

Go, bayside!

Hey, bayside.

Are you ready for
the dunk-o-rama?

I want to see that.

I'm ready.

Barry's going to take this ball

and dunk it through that hoop

using that trampoline.

Barry's going to do what?

Barry! Barry!

Well, I guess
this fish got to fly.

Barry! Barry!

Ooh!

Hey, y'all.

It's okay.

Just-just Barry being Barry.

Rae, what are you doing?

Listen, Eddie.

I had a vision and you're going
to score the winning the basket

at the final buzzer.

I am?! Mm-hmm.

Yo, Rae, that's what I've
been waiting for my whole life.

But... why you been
trying to mess me up?

Because I already
wrote an article about it

and Serena found it.

If my vision comes true

she's going to let the whole
school know I'm psychic

and, you know, I'm
just not ready for that.

Man, that's rough,
but... The winning shot.

You know what?

It was my own fault.

I was just thinking
about myself.

So, you go out there and
you take that shot, Eddie.

Really?

Yeah.

I've got to go.

sh**t it, Eddie. sh**t it.

Gino!

No...!

Eddie.

Why didn't you make that shot?

That was supposed
to be you up there.

That would've been tight

but not while it
threatens my friend.

Besides, I'm sure I'll get

another chance to
score the winning basket.

You think? Because
when you look at the odds

I mean, really, the
chances of you getting...

Actually, he will definitely
get another chance.

Thanks, Rae.

You know what I think?

This whole psychic
thing was a setup

just to make me look bad.

You got me.

Or maybe that's what
you want me to think.

Oh, snap, you got me again.

Cute, Raven.

There's a story here
and I'm going to find it.

Not if we find it first.

That made no sense.

Yeah, but it got
her to walk away.

Uh, guys, I think we
need to get out of here.

Why, you have another vision?

No, Barry wants
his fish suit back.

Come on!

I got my science project back.

Oh, great!

How did we... Um, how'd you do?

I got an "a."

All right.

This is a report.

What happened
to the solar system?

That was just a fake out.

The real project was to
make up a theory and prove it.

"Corey Baxter's
theory of relativity"?

And I proved it.

Relatives... that's you...

Will always protect
their young... that's me.

I feel used.

That's bad.

But proud.

That's good!

I'll get it.

Mom?

If it's a fish, don't answer it.

Oh, Raven.
