01x05 - Where There's Smoke...

[bunniefuu]

Previously on The Other Kingdom.

Devon's gonna look at
Oswald, but see me.

Spell's wearing off!

What does it mean if a girl
tells you that you smell.

Hey, it's Astral.

You!

Food fight!

I wanna know who started this.

She did!

It's her fault we're in jail.

It's not jail!

Do you wanna hang out?

It's tough to get adjusted
to a new place.

Everything about my life
is totally different now,

and I'm only just starting to
figure out where I fit in.

Or how I fit in.

I mean, don't get me wrong I
want the full Other experience.

But I also want everyone to
know how great my home is.

I want every Other to see a
glowing moon that never sets.

And hear the sound
of fairy lights

rustling through the treetops.

And know the feeling
of magic in the air.

I never thought I'd miss the
little things most of all.

But, if I'm gonna be
here for a short time,

then I wanna bring some more
magic to the Other world.

And under a crescent moon.

Cue moon.

The dance floor illuminates.

To create the greatest
Fairy Costume Ball

anyone has ever seen.

Now Devon, now!

I got to school early for this?

You've never looked more regal.

A cardboard moon and some
dollar store face paint.

Real classy.

So, Principal Williams, please
consider our theme

for the Fall Dance,

and bring enchantment to the
students at Theseus High.

Calm down.

Back to Earth, Astral.

It's just so beautiful.

I got carried away.

Quite literally.

Hold your horn-headed
horses.

There's something's
up with this girl.

I saw her levitate.

I swear I did.

Yes, it was a very impressive
presentation.

No, you don't understand!

There's no way she
could do that!

There's no wires!

Hailey, they were both very
good presentations.

I'll need a few days
to consider them.

Thanks for all your good work.

Principal Williams!

Principal Williams!

Aunt Maddie!

Hailey, at school, I'm
Principal Williams.

I told you not to call
me Aunt Maddie.

Sorry.

It was an Aunt Emergency.

A niece cri-siece.

Crisis.

There's something not
right about that girl.

Who?

Astral.

Princess Weirdo.

Captain Kooky.

The Dame of
the Doy-yois.

Oh Hailey, don't be jealous.

You both gave excellent
presentations.

Open your eyes, Aunt Maddie.

She's from England and
she doesn't have an accent.

She hangs out with
the bummer twins.

She doesn't like my beach theme.

She's not normal.

Too bad you didn't have
this eye for detail

when you blew up the
Family Studies room.

Maybe then I wouldn't
have had to chip

in for Mr. McGillroy's
new toupee.

I still don't know how...

And don't think I've forgotten,

you still have to make
up that project.

Wouldn't want an F on
your record, would you?

But I saw her floating.

Twice.

We can't have people like
that roaming our hallways!

Planning our dances!

Sharing our lockers!

Princess, Princess listen to me.

You must be very wary
of this Hailey girl.

She's like a shark.

She never stops moving
and she's feet long.

No she's not.

She's not?

Oh I am sorry.

Everyone looks bigger
when you are tiny.

You worry too much, Oswald.

Aiyeeee!

I don't know what your secret
is, but I'm going to find out.

And you're going down.

I'm not like other kids.

I guess you could
call me different.

Back home, I'm a princess.

But here I could be
whoever I wanna be.

Go to school, make new
friends, explore your ways,

and have some fun.

Hiding my fairy powers
isn't always easy.

But my friends help me
when things go wrong.

I have to make a choice soon.

You're world or my home.

Time is running out.

This is gonna be good.

Are you sure this
is going to work?

Quit squirmin'.

Do you wanna turn
into a butterfly or not?

Okay, if you say so.

Wizard school certainly
isn't like how

they show it in the movies.

Now I want you to hop on
over to those flowers there.

You'll soak up their magical
power and turn into a butterfly.

Oh I can't wait.

What lad hasn't dreamed
of becoming a butterfly!

What's going on here?

Your highnesses, stop!

Oh, this isn't good!

No, no it isn't.

Morgan you should go as an elf.

You have the kind of face
that can pull off pointy ears.

I really do.

I'm not going.

That's what you think.

Devon, you have to come!

Going to the dance without
you would be like going

to a Maypole party in December.

It's just done.

He hasn't said anything to
me since the other night.

I should just go in
there and say "Hi."

Or maybe "Hello" is better.

No, "Hi," go with your gut.

You can't wait for him.

Cool guys are like glaciers;

slow to move and disappearing
at an alarming rate.

Get in there.

He looks kinda busy.

Boys love it when
you're interested

in what they're doing.

And laugh at what he says.

Guys really love that.

That doesn't make any sense.

Devon, that is so funny.

Really?

No.

See.

It works.

Now go.

Hi Tristan, what are
you doing here?

In the gym?

Where I always am?

For gymnastics?

Well mean I have
to practice, right?

That's so funny.

Okaaay.

I wanted to hang out
the other night.

It's okay.

I know you're busy.

But, we can hang out now.

I love gymnastics.

Have you ever done
any of this before?

No.

But I'd love to try some moves.

Okay.

Do you want to try
a back handspring?

I'll spot you.

Just take it easy and lean back.

It's just like flying!

Can I try something else?

Go for it.

How about this?

Look at her, buttering
up Tristan.

Pretending to looove gymnastics.

I could do that too if it wasn't
for my low center of gravity

and hatred for exercise.

She'll slip up.

And I'll be there to
capture every frame.

Right, Gigi?

Geege?

That was great.

No, really.

How did you learn
how to do that?

From watching you.

I never did it that well.

I know.

Glad you think it's so funny.

Isn't it?

Not really.

I'm gonna go.

Okay.

See ya later!

Ugh.

Hailey, would you like me
to set up an appointment

with a guidance counselor?

You'll thank me one day
for what I'm doing.

You know how I feel
about the Others,

but Brendoni's like a
cat with a mouse.

And you can't help but feel
sorry for the mouse.

I thought having an Other here

might help him become
more compassionate.

Instead, it's turned him
into an even bigger...

You can say it.

Jerk.

So what are we gonna do?

It's too late to turn back time

and stop his mother from
marrying that troll.

Come, I have an idea.

Hi-ya!

Aha!

Boom!!!

Troll power rules!

Oh no.

Brendoni.

Aaahhh!

We've decided that
only by empathizing

with the Others will you
be able to help them.

Today you're going to learn
why the Others need us.

Because there ain't no
party like Athenian party,

an Athenian party don't stop?

And why we need them.

We don't!

They don't give a monkey's
butt about anything.

They're wrecked our
world and don't care.

Says the troll who just
broke a boulder.

We need them because only the
Others can get themselves out

of the mess they've created.

Our magic only extends so far.

He hates me.

He hates me, Morgan.

He's miffed.

Peeved.

Put out.

Ticked off.

Someone's putting her online
thesaurus to good use.

All I did was laugh at him.

Just like you said.

With him.

Not at him.

No boy wants to be laughed at.

Ever.

Well where I come from, we
feel each other's emotions.

Take my Cousin Brendoni,
for instance.

Is he a fairy?

Is he cute?

No.

And gross.

But I can feel him.

If he yawns, I nap.

If he's happy, I smile.

If he eats a hot
pepper, I belch.

It's what fairies do.

We're connected.

Humans rely on
second-guessing,

self-doubt, and emojis.

It's so complicated.

Does he like me?

Do I like him?

Does she like me?

Do I like her?

It never stops.

How do Others get anything done?

I can't figure this out, Morgan.

And I'm heir to the
throne of Athenia.

Two hundred and fiftieth ruler
of the Seventh Realm!

And I thought I was
under pressure

when my mom made me
take piano lessons.

Ugh!

Astral!?

Don't lose it, not here.

Why are Others so confusing?!

Quick, let's go before
someone sees us.

No way.

(alarm b

This is not a test.

I have it all here!

Phones are amazing things.

They're a camera, a
calender, a computer.

Sometimes even a phone.

I have proof that you're...

An exchange student
from England?

Good sleuthing, Sherlock.

Is everyone okay?

Perfect!

Principal Williams, I saw it.

Astral's body lit up, then
everything went haywire.

She's a, I don't know
what she is,

but she's something different.

Did something hit
you on the head?

We had a tremor.

Earth burp.

Okay, everyone clear
the building.

But I have the pictures.

No!

Let's go, let's go, out!

I can't believe it!

What's happening?

What's going on?

Let's just get out of here.

What?

They're letting everybody out?

Who cares?

Anybody home?

Hailey?

You must have the wrong address.

No.

I have the right address.

You're really good at...

Geography?

Geography, right.

I need your help.

Oh, well, I was just about
to study the effect

of tectonic plates on
continental formation.

Y'know.

For fun.

Perfect.

Me too.

But we're not in the same class.

Are you a Geography genius,
or some sort of logic guy?

A Logician?

You're an English genius too.

Where's the bathroom?

It's over that way.

I'll use the one upstairs.

You get started on
the continents.

Woah.

Hmm.

Ayieee!!!

Ahh!

Close the door, it's cold!

What are you doing?

This isn't the bathroom.

I hope she realized that
before I walked in here.

Plates are in constant motion,

moving at just a few
centimeters per year.

Yeah, yeah.

The plates are in the ocean.

Got it.

Have you ever noticed anything
different about Astral?

Yes.

What?

She's doesn't like bacon.

Who doesn't like bacon?

That was close today.

Too close.

What are you doing here?

I'd love to nama-stay and
chat, but I'm late for yoga.

But, wait, we haven't even
covered the ocean floors

and how they're
continually moving.

Spreading from the center
and sinking at the edges.

Oh man, I love geography.

It's so intense.

You have been so sweet Devvy,

helping me with geometry.

Geography.

Whatever.

I'm so glad we're friends.

I'm going to come by
and visit you again.

Soon.

Byeee!

Byeee?

She reminds me of
a giant hogweed.

Pretty on the outside,

but her sap stings like crazy.

I think she's nice.

Nice like sand in
your bathing suit!

C'mon, Morgan, let's go.

I get it, we are
interconnected with the Others.

Exactly, Brendoni.

Like the bird that lives inside
the crocodile's mouth

to clean its teeth.

Circle of life.

Something like that.

You may need a
little bit of work,

but you've done very well today.

Yeah.

Now why don't you run along and
see if our guest needs anything.

No problem, Uncle Obes.

Brendoni!

I asked you to see if our
guest needed anything!

I did.

He said he needed me to eat him.

No I didn't!

What will we do with you?

You've obviously learned
nothing of today's lesson.

Let The Other's have him.

Very good, Versitude.

I'm beginning to think this
really isn't wizard school.

Devon stinks!

Are all Other boys
this difficult?

Pretty much.

Maybe we expect too
much of them.

Why?

Others can't
mind-read.

I'm just gonna tell Tristan
what I'm feeling.

Honesty?

Never works.

Just try it.

You seemed really mad at Devon.

Argh!

How could he let
Hailey kiss him?

You like him.

You totally like him.

Yeah right!

We just don't need Hailey
hanging around.

Why is Hailey so mean?

What did I ever do to her?

You ditched her to
be friends with us.

You're taking the
dance from her.

You're taking Tristan from her.

You exploded the school...

Just the bio lab.

And got away with it.

The same thing she
did last year,

which she still hasn't
lived down.

Oh, that's my mom.

I've gotta go.

So I do four tiny things and she
wants to expose me as a fairy?

That's Hailey.

Some people just don't
know how to forgive.

Or forget.

Princess, you must be careful.

I have fought battles on every
shore, and this I can tell you,

there is no foe fiercer
than a year old girl.

Sleep, my sweet.

Let rest give you strength
and an honest heart lead you.

Your journey is just beginning.

If she is to be queen, she
has to do this on her own.

Hi, Tristan.

I want to apologize
for yesterday.

I'm not any better than you...

Yes you are.

Is that what's bugging you?

That I'm better than you?

Seriously?

Astral, you laughed at me,
you made it seem like

you were rubbing it in because
you were better than me.

It wasn't cool.

Morgan said guys like
girls who laugh a lot.

I don't want you
to fake a laugh,

or fake being bad at
something for me.

Okay.

Now tell me, because
I'm dying to know.

How did you get so good?

I grew up with all the
trees I can climb.

Makes you light on your feet.

That explains it.

See, I grew up in the city.

So not too many trees.

That's too bad.

Hey, would you mind showing
me that front walk over again?

I can never get it.

Sure.

You gotta show me.

You try it.

Well, what do we have here?

Good thing Brendoni's here
to keep an eye on you.

What's up, cuz?

Brendoni?

You look so different!

Yeah.

They flipped my lid
and "fixed" my grill,

but once a troll,
always a Troll.

Troll?

It's an English thing.

It means 'cool dude.'

Who is this guy?

This guy is a bucket
full of awesome.

He's my cousin, and he's
also a nightmare.

Half of that statement is true.

The other half, is also true.

I'm hungry.

What have you got to
eat in this place?

Last night was supes
funsies, Dev.

And we didn't even get

to how the outer shell
glides on earth's mantle.

Can't wait, but
speaking of Astral.

We weren't speaking
about Astral.

Have you ever considered
that she's isn't one of us?

Not really.

Yeah, but she's weird, right?

She's not weird, she just talks
to herself, and to trees,

and to the sky, but other than
that, not weird at all.

Brendoni, wait!

You know what?

I gotta go.

Byeee.

I don't know what
you're doing here,

but you have to leave and
you have to leave now.

Your parents decided to
learn about the Others

so they sent me.

Why?

I don't know, empathy or
something, blah blah blah.

Just training to be the future
King of Athenia, I guess.

You, become King?

Yeah right!

I'm next in line if you decide
to stay for that water sack...

What's his name?

Biscuits?

It's Tristan!

Whatever his name is, he
doesn't seem worth it.

Smell you later cuz.

Oh, and by the way,
I'm bunking with you!

Uggghhh!!

I knew it!

You're a witch!!!
