03x03 - Always You

[bunniefuu]

- Emma!

- Where are we?

Is this the cafeteria?

- I was trying to tell you

that the emergency exit leads to Iridium High.

- Great! I'’m closer to home.

Let'’s go before Agamemnon--

- Before Agamemnon what?

Gets a snack?

Or finds thetwo rogue rebels running about?

[laughing]

Boom.

Got you.

I'’m not surprised to see you causing trouble, Mr. Novoa.

- I-I was just trying--

- Silence.

You'’re always "just trying" to take the Chosen One

in the wrong direction.

- Jax has nothing to do with this.

This was my decision.

We passed the test.

Now we need to go home.

Please, Agamemnon.

- Oh, no, don'’t "Please, Agamemnon" me.

You wanted to go to a birthday party.

- My dad'’s surprise birthday party.

I can come back tomorrow and finish whatever'’s left.

- Oh...

that'’s so nice of you,

but I don'’t think so.

[laughs] You'’ll stay here

and finish your SOD, and then--

- That'’s not fair!

All I did was cast a couple spells.

I'’ll be back tomorrow, I promise.

- Oh, fine, then.

Go.

But before you go,

I'’ll have to take your powers

until you complete boot camp.

- No!

- Where is the bottle with the powers?

- I think I still have them. - Impossible.

They must be around here somewhere.

- Quick, cast a spell.

- I'’m just getting back in gear, make a bunch of flowers appear.

- It worked.

- It did.

- You tried, but you can'’t take her powers.

- I didn'’t mean to defy you, Agamemnon.

- You tried, but you can'’t take her powers.

- That'’s because I didn'’t want to.

[chuckling]

I was just trying to prove a point.

- The point that you can'’t take her powers.

- I can.

Watch me.

[chuckling]

Looky here!

Mr. Novoa'’s powers.

- [sighs]

No, not again!

- Agamemnon-- - You learned your lesson.

Go home. You'’re done with boot camp.

- I am?

- You are. Now scoot.

- Thank you! Thank you!

What about Jax?

- He'’ll spend the night in the barracks.

Of course, he'’ll have to walk since...

[chuckling] He has no powers.

- But I--

- Now go, the both of you,

before I change my mind.

- I'’m going. I'’m going.

- [mouthing words]

- I tried to make you a cake,

but the mixer seems to have a mind of its own.

- You'’re now blaming a kitchen appliance?

- No, I-- - Oh, my poor Francisky Winky!

I-I-I mean, um... [clears throat]

are you all right, Mr. Principal Francisco Alonso, sir?

- I am fine. I am fine.

Thank you very much.

But, uh, what are you all doing here?

ANDI: Uh, it'’s your surprise birthday party.

Emma organized it.

- Surprise!

- Aah!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Emma organized this for me?

A party?

W-where is she?

- On her way.

There was a...

- A smoothie situation emergency at work.

- Oh, those are the worst kinds of emergencies.

- Does this mean we don'’t even get cake?

- We haven'’t crashed a party this lame

since Andi'’s turtle-themed eighth birthday.

- Turtles are cool.

You just don'’t get them.

- Mmm. Not bad.

- Uh...

how about we just call it a night?

- [laughs] Fine with us.

I already told Proxy to meet me at my house.

This party'’s a drag.

- You can go.

I'’ll just stay and clean up.

- Are you sure you don'’t want me to stay as your bodyguard?

- I'’ll be okay.

- My mess, my clean-up.

- Whoops! [chuckles]

- Ooh! - Whoop!

Uh, this is--this is for you.

And let me know if the party is rescheduled.

I'’m available for color schemes,

and I'’d also like to do,

uh, some--some, uh, slide shows.

Okay. Um, I love you.

- I'’m here.

What do you need?

- You'’re still at the beach?

It'’s nighttime.

- Not in Dubai. [chuckles]

So what is so important

that I am missing my paddleboard lesson?

- It'’s the Chosen One.

- Oh, for Pete'’s sake, just say it!

Agamemnon tried to take Emma'’s powers...

and couldn'’t.

- [sighs]

- We knew this day would come.

- But so soon?

- She'’s destined to be the most powerful witch alive.

It was bound to happen.

- I don'’t see why this is a problem.

- Because untrained chosen ones

can go awry.

Do you know how difficult it was to take the principal'’s powers?

- Emma'’s nothing like the principal.

She has a good heart.

- But she is still a teenage girl.

- Great.

The future of the Realm is at the whim

of the Chosen One'’s hormones.

- Excuse me.

- Sorry.

Okay, how about you just go whichever way you want?

And I'’ll stand here and do nothing.

- Don'’t you have to go home?

Don'’t your parents wonder where you are?

- No, they know I'’m here.

Of course they do.

- Sorry I'’m late!

My dad should be home any min--

- Where have you been?

- Oh...no.

I...

I...

Happy birthday!

- "Kanays are well known

for their ability to manipulate the elements"...

[chuckles]

"Morph objects, and, of course...

their horrible stench."

- [laughs] - Witches are so mean!

- I like the way you smell.

- Which is?

- Well, imagine if an onion

and Muenster cheese

got together and, um...

[chuckles] Had a baby.

- [chuckles] But you love onions.

- And Muenster cheese.

- [chuckles]

Whoa.

Check this out.

- Is that a tattoo?

- No, it'’s...

It'’s a Kanay marking.

Cool, huh? It'’s a spider.

- Do you have one? - I don'’t know.

Let'’s see.

- [chuckles] That never gets old.

- [grunts] There.

- Um...

Nope.

You don'’t have any like that.

Yours are totally awesome.

See? We'’re learning something new about Kanays.

They have different markings.

- Makes sense, but...

what does the spider mean?

- Maybe it'’s like a tribe thing?

Like each group has a different set of markings.

URSULA: Maddie Winky, I think we should--

[gasping]

What do you think you'’re doing?

[all breathing heavily]

- And we'’re in.

- Easy as pie.

- Let'’s get to work before Diego catches us.

[Tommy grunting]

Whoa!

- Oh, my-- Tommy!

- Tommy, are you okay?

[Tommy grunting and coughing]

I'’m fine.

- You heard him. He'’s fine.

Now let'’s get on with this.

- We'’re wasting our time.

We need to look at those security cameras.

TOMMY: I'’m okay. I'’m okay.

- Here'’s the recorder.

"You'’ve been HO'’ed"?

[all screaming]

- Hey, partner.

Transfer orders from HQ.

- Uh, hey, Mia.

What happened to Slow Joe?

- Um, Slow Joe?

I don'’t know.

But I think the name says it all.

- You wouldn'’t believe the half of it.

A turtle could save someone faster.

- Got something against turtles?

- No.

They'’re Andi'’s favorite animal,

next to dragons.

She still holds on to the hope that they exist.

- That'’s funny.

- She believe in witches, too?

- Probably.

- Well, welcome to tower seven.

- At The Beachside Seven.

How clever...

Not.

- We do get unlimited free juice.

- Awesome.

That reminds me, is your girlfriend all right?

- Yeah, yeah. She'’s okay.

Uh, she was looking for you.

She wanted to thank you for covering for her.

- Hey, Em, by the way, um, have you thought

about what we talked about earlier?

About the Council?

- I don'’t think it'’s a good idea, Andi.

They'’re already mad at me.

- I know, but I just need a chance to plead my case.

- And see the inside of the Council?

- All right, that'’s just a bonus.

But look, I even made a list

as to why they should pick me to be a Guardian.

- "I am...

Welding equipment"? - What? No.

Oh, that--that'’s what I want for my birthday.

See, I put ketchup stain and arrow--

It says, "I'’m very resourceful."

Anyway, look, I know it'’s a big deal.

- Okay. - What?

- Okay. You deserve it.

I'’ll talk to Lily.

- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Oh, you won'’t regret this!

- So this is your locker.

Um...

Slow Joe left a couple of things in there.

You can just put them in that box.

- Got some disinfectant?

- Gross.

I told him not to keep ice cream in there.

- Disgusting.

- Good luck.

- Wait. Partner...

You'’re not going to help me clean this?

- Somebody needs to watch the beach.

You know, a lot of irresponsible swimmers out there.

- Sure, be a hero. - All right.

Oh, are these the keys to the tower?

- I thought he lost those.

- You'’ll have to take them.

Here.

No, here.

Just take them!

- You'’re fast.

- Are you sure it'’s not Slow Daniel?

- Got '’em.

- I think it'’s Slow Daniel and...

this is your ice cream.

- No, you didn'’t.

- [chuckles]

- Hey, Danny, are you in here?

- Hi!

You must be Emma.

I'’m Mia.

Sorry.

I was just teasing my new partner.

- "Partner"?

- Mia'’s replacing Slow Joe.

We were just cleaning out his locker.

- I saw.

Nice to finally meet you.

And thank you for covering my shift.

Andi told me all about it.

- Don'’t worry about it.

Everybody was real nice,

and I made a lot of tips.

- Well, great.

I better get back to work.

- Andi'’s covering for me.

- Lots of people cover for you, huh?

- I guess.

Thanks again.

- Emma!

Wait!

Emma, wait.

Let me explain.

We were just goofing around.

- I know.

- I'’m sorry. - It'’s okay.

I'’m just being extra sensitive.

I didn'’t like seeing you like that...

with another girl.

- Covered in ice cream?

- Yes.

- You'’re jealous.

- Maybe.

Don'’t enjoy it too much.

I can still turn you into a marlin

and release you into the wild.

- I have to say...

I am enjoying this.

- That'’s it.

Three starfish and a--

- Meet me tonight at The Seven.

Oh...

the HO?

must involve water.

to all of The Beachside Sevens to set up the rigs.

- An inside job!

- What were Diego'’s cousins'’ names again?

- Hector and...

Oscar.

H and O.

HO!

- No way.

They'’re just little kids.

They couldn'’t pull off that prank.

- They said they go to Gables Elementary.

Let'’s just see what'’s been going on over there.

Bingo!

- Pools drained?

Sewers overflowed?

Gables Elementary

hit with an epidemic of water pranks?

HO strikes again.

- This rabbit is fine.

But I really want a porcupine.

- Easy as pie.

- Oh, aren'’t we chipper this morning?

- So what'’s with you not being able to take Emma'’s powers?

- I was only trying to scare her.

- Didn'’t seem like that.

- Be careful.

You might prick yourself.

What do you mean prick myself?

Oh, no!

Orange-carrot-ginger for you.

banana smoothie for Daniel.

I'’m loving this new assignment and the free juice.

You guys rock.

See ya.

don'’t you think there'’s something weird about Mia?

- Weird as in awesome? Yeah!

I mean, dude, she has a PX- retrofitted case.

She'’s way cool.

- I don'’t know.

- Hey!

This isn'’t my banana smoothie.

JAX: [whispering] Psst, Emma.

- Wait. What was that?

- [laughing]

- Jax? - I need some help.

- Hey, I'’m going on a training swim after work.

I got these new water weights I want to try out.

You want to join?

- Yeah, that sounds awesome.

We have our first qualifying meet in a week,

so I could really use the workout.

- Great, then I'’ll treat us both to some protein shakes.

- That sounds cool, but I have to be home before :.

Andi'’s coming over to play some video games.

- Sure, sure.

So...

Emma and Andi are, like, besties for the resties, huh?

- They'’re pretty tight.

- Does Emma play video games with you and Andi?

- Eh, nah, Andi and I like the gory ones,

but, uh, they give Emma n-nightmares.

- Lamest Chosen One ever.

- What? - Nothing.

I'’m just gonna start packing up

so we can be ready to take off right after work.

I don'’t want you to be late for all that gore.

You can'’t bring her to the Council.

And, you, hold still.

You'’re messing with my aim.

or at least get a chance to try.

She helped me save the Realm twice.

- Traitor.

- I wouldn'’t mess with the Council,

and I wouldn'’t let you.

- Yeah, we wouldn'’t mess with them either.

I'’ll just wait for them to come around on their own.

Me too.
