New Powers(Transcript)

Blake, Brad and Zoe went to school and went to their classes. Zoe wasn't being comfortable about Annika being in the choir, she doesn't know why. Once she went to her desk, Kandace went up to her with a warm smile.

Kandace: Hey Zoe, you alright?

Zoe: I dunno, Annika is joining the choir and I dunno what to do? What if she makes me screw up or something and what if I have to be kicked out because she is the best and I'm not?

Kandace: You'll be fine, even though Annika is a bad person. One time she almost got me out of the theater club because I was being horrible. Luckily Jenny got me back because I deserve it.

Zoe: Who is Jenny?

Kandace: Jenny is one of the play directors in our school. She is really nice to us you know?

Just then, Year 7's English teacher, Mr. Rubie came to the classroom. He is from Scotland unlike Ms. Barnes who is from South Africa. He is also really nice, even if Annika is being such a rude girl.

Mr. Rubie: Good morning everyone.

Everyone: Good morning Mr. Rubie.

Mr. Rubie: Alright everyone, today we are going to learn about present perfect. So you have to do essays about one of the most famous people in history but should be historical. A dead person.

Annika: Mr. Rubie? Can we just write an essay about one of the members of BTS, history is boring.

Aidan: Annika, you idiot.

Anya: Yeah, you should be listening to what Mr. Rubie said, just look at yourself, you are making everyone feel bad. And how do you feel when you make others feel bad.

Mr. Rubie: Alright everyone, just please focus on these essays and don't focus on Annika. She just wants attention to be famous. When it is not the most important thing in school these days.

The children started on their essays. Zoe has the gut feeling that Annika will target her even more because of what she said. Because Zoe is a child prodigy, she managed to finish her essay in no time.

Zoe: Mr. Rubie, I'm done.

Mr. Rubie: Can I see?

Mr. Rubie flipped through Zoe's notebook and she did many essays about Joan of Arc, Amelia Earhart, Sacagawea, Susan B. Anthony, Frida Kahlo, Marie Curie, Queen Elizabeth I, Abigail Adams, Anne Frank, Annie Oakley, Aretha Franklin, Beatrix Potter, Betsy Ross, Clara Barton, Coretta Scott King, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Ida B. Wells, Jacqueline Kennedy, Maya Angelou, Mother Teresa, Nellie Bly and Rosa Parks.

Mr. Rubie: Wow, I didn't know you can write so many essays.

Zoe: I know how to write since I was 8.

Mr. Rubie: That's good, I'll give you an A for this.

Mr. Rubie checked Zoe's notebook and went back to his desk. Kandace was impressed on what she saw.

Kandace: Zoe, this is amazing.

Zoe: Thanks, hey, can we make stories someday. Together.

Kandace: I like that idea.

The bell started ringing and it is break time already. Kandace and Zoe were about to meet up Blake, Brad, Troy, George and Raphael in the library. Once they went to the library, Annika came up to them. She gave the girls a deathly glare.

Annika: Heading to the library I see?

Kandace: You gotta be kidding me Annika, we love reading books. What about you? You just feed your brain with stupid information from Instagram.

Annika: While you both feed your dirty brains with stupid books.

Zoe: Enough!

Zoe's rage caused Annika's bag to break.

Annika: My handbag! My dad bought this for £70.

Kandace: That's equivalent to $136(Australian dollars) which is really expensive.

Zoe: That's how much our car costs. But we're not rich.

Annika: Hmph! Who cares.

Just then, Blake, Brad, Troy, George and Raphael came up to the girls after noticing a commotion going on.

Blake: What is going on?

Annika: Your sister broke my bag, get her to Ms. Jackson's office and get her expelled. And tell Reece to kick her out of the choir.

Then Zoe used her powers to pull Annika's hair. It was really painful for her.

Raphael: Woah.

George: Blake, does your sister have powers like this?

Blake: Yes, she started having them when she was 6 and then developed it as she gets older. And then, after feeling satisfied, she stops using them when she turned 13. You know, the hormone stuff? And then she started using them against Annika.

Annika: Stop pulling my hair! I have enough of you Thomson, enough of you. You are a disgrace to your family, you will never be a choir member again.

Zoe: (gasps)

Blake and Brad hugged the little girl showing that they really care for her.

Brad: Don't believe her Zoe, you're not a disgrace, she is.

Blake: Yeah.

George: Aww...

Raphael: That's the best family moment I've ever seen. C'mon, who wants to read some books?

Everyone: We do.

They started reading books. Mainly Harry Potter, A Series of Unfortunate Events etc. Zoe isn't comfortable about what Annika said, her voice and now her powers.

George: Zoe, you alright?

Zoe: I'm good.

George: You seem to be quiet right now, after that commotion with Annika, what's going on?

Zoe: Look man, first of all, stop attempting to date me because my brothers wouldn't approve of that, second of all, Annika is just being that twat she always is. She always wants me out of the choir, or worse, I'm better as a soprano.

George: Don't say that, you have a nice voice, you have a good brain. Plus your powers are actually amazing.

Zoe: I can get a book for you if you want.

Zoe used her powers and grabbed a Lord of the Rings book for George and the biography of George III for herself after finishing A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Reptile Room.

George: Wow.

Zoe: I just don't feel like anyone would compliment my powers, that's what makes me insecure.

George: Remember that when you feel insecure, you sing a One Direction song?

Zoe: Who told you?

George: Your brothers told me a lot about you. You sing What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction whenever you're insecure.

Song: What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction

George: #You're insecure, don't know what for #You're turning heads when you walk through the door #Don't need makeup to cover up #Being the way that you are is enough#

Zoe: #Everyone else in the room can see it #Everyone else but you#

Both: #Baby, you light up my world like nobody else #The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed #But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell #You don't know, oh, oh, you don't know you're beautiful #If only you saw what I can see #You'll understand why I want you so desperately #Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe #You don't know, you don't know you're beautiful#

Zoe: #That's what makes you beautiful#

The bell started ringing and everyone went back to their classes. It is listening and speaking for Year 7 and Year 8 so Mr. Smith-Marriot came to teach the 2 classes. Zoe and Kandace sat with George and Raphael.

George: You finally came.

Zoe: Hey George, so what does Mr. Smith-Marriot teach about?

Raphael: Just news and stuff, last time we learnt about Brexit. You watch the news, don't you?

Zoe: How do you know?

Raphael: George has been talking about you, I think he likes you.

Zoe: Oh shut up, Blake and Brad won't approve of this because I'm too young for this.

Mr. Smith-Marriot: Morning class.

Everyone: Good morning Mr. Smith-Marriot.

Mr. Smith-Marriot: Alright, any news?

Zoe: Yes Mr. Smith-Marriot, as of today, the coronavirus has affected-

Annika: Her, the coronavirus has affected her, she is from China everybody.

Zoe: Annika!

Mr. Smith-Marriot: Woah woah woah, hey, there should be no racism in this class okay? We have some Chinese people here.

Zoe used her powers to take Annika's headband she always wears and breaks it. She also broke her favorite pencil.

Annika: My headband! My pencil! Mr. Smith-Marriot, take her to Ms. Jackson and get her expelled!

Blake: No, it's because Annika is being racist.

Kandace: And as a Chinese-British, Blake is right.

Mr. Smith-Marriot: Alright, enough now, Zoe, please continue.

Zoe: Thank you, as of today, the coronavirus has managed to affect 72,438 people in China (mainland), 520 in Japan, 77 in Singapore, 61 in Hong Kong, 35 in Thailand, 31 in South Korea, 22 in Malaysia, 22 in Taiwan, 16 in Germany, 16 in Vietnam, 15 in Australia, 15 in the United States, 12 in France, 10 in Macau, 9 in the United Arab Emirates, 9 in the United Kingdom, 8 in Canada, 3 in the Philippines, 3 in Italy, 3 in India, 2 in Russia, 2 in Spain, 1 in Egypt, 1 in Sweden, 1 in Belgium, 1 in Cambodia, 1 in Finland, 1 in Nepal and 1 in Sri Lanka. If we are counting international conveyances, there are 1,723 people on board the Diamond Princess who were tested positive for this coronavirus. The Diamond Princess is a cruise ship currently quarantined in Japanese waters. There is another cruise ship affected by the virus called Westerdam and after departing it's stop in Hong Kong, it was denied call by the Philippines, Japan, Guam and Thailand because of the COVID-19. But later, Cambodia was able to allow the ship to dock at Sihanoukville.

Mr. Smith-Marriot: That's what our speaking test is about today, please grab a partner and answer these following questions on this sheet.

Mr. Smith-Marriot handed out the sheets. Everyone got their partners when Annika started insulting Zoe again.

Annika: Hey Zoe, no friends huh? No wonder why you can't get a partner.

Kandace: Shut up!

George: She's with me.

Annika: Hmph!

George: Don't worry Zoe, no need to get mad at her.

Song: Gives You Hell by The All American Rejects

Zoe: #I wake up every evening #With a big smile on my face #And it never feels out of place #And you're still probably working #At a nine to five pace #I wonder how bad that tastes #When you see my face #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell #When you walk my way #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell #Now where's your picket fence, girl? #And where's that shiny car? #And did it ever get you far? #You never seemed so tense, girl #I've never seen you fall so hard #Do you know where you are? #And truth be told, I'm the worse #And truth be told, I'm lying #When you see my face #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell #When you walk my way #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell #If you find a choir that's worth a damn and treats you well #Then they're a fool, you're just as well #Hope it gives you hell #I hope it gives you hell #Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself #Yeah, where'd it all go wrong? #But the list goes on and on #And truth be told, I'm the worse #And truth be told, I'm lying #When you see my face #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell #When you walk my way #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell #When you find a choir that's worth a damn and treats you well #Then they're a fool, you're just as well #Hope it gives you hell #Now you'll never see #What you've done to me #You can take back your memories #They're no good to me #And here's all your lies #You can't look me in the eyes #With the bad, bad things #That you've done so well#

George, Raphael and Kandace: #When you see my face #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell #When you walk my way #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell #When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well #Then he's a fool, you're just as well #Hope it gives you hell#

Zoe: #When you see my face #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell#

George, Raphael and Kandace: #Hope it gives you hell#

Annika: #When you walk my way #Hope it gives you hell #Hope it gives you hell#

George, Raphael and Kandace: #Hope it gives you hell#

Both: #When you hear this song and you sing along, but you never tell#

George, Raphael and Kandace: #But you never tell#

Both: #Then you're the fool, you just as well# Hope it gives you hell#

George, Raphael and Kandace: #Hope it gives you hell#

Zoe: #When you hear this song #I hope that it will give you hell#

George, Raphael and Kandace: #Give you hell#

Zoe: #You can sing along #I hope that it puts you through hell#

Zoe, George, Kandace and Raphael went back to their seats and listened to Mr. Smith-Marriot. Until the bell started ringing, for lunch time.

Mr. Smith-Marriot: Alright, class dismissed.

Everyone: Thank you Mr. Smith-Marriot.

Zoe: Can't believe we wasted this much time just because of Annika.

Kandace: Yeah, let's meet up your brothers at lunch shall we?

The juniors got their lunch and met up with Blake, Brad, Troy and Reece.

Zoe: Hi everyone.

Blake, Brad, Troy and Reece: Hello.

Brad: You alright? You lost your temper when you were in Mr. Smith-Marriot's class?

George: She did, because of Annika again.

Reece: Later, we have another choir song we have to do. It is from one of the most historical local artists of all time.

Kandace: Oh, Daniel Radcliffe?

Zoe: Kandace, he meant dead people and also you're not part of the choir.

Kandace: Oh, sorry.

Reece: I'll tell you in the afternoon.

The children finished their food and went to the court. While they were there, George, Troy, Blake, Brad and Zoe did some vocal warm ups. Reece soon stopped them when he noticed that George and Zoe sounded like they could sing already.

Reece: Alright, that's enough for now. Only for Zoe and George.

Troy: Why? Oh, because you were singing in the library.

Zoe: Also we sang in Mr. Smith-Marriot's class because Annika is being such an idiot.

Reece: Speaking of Annika, I've got a plan for her, let's head to the library shall we?

Kandace: Oi! Can Raphael and I come too?

Zoe: Sure, come with us.

We went back to the library and went to Reece's secret place where he would usually make assignments for the choir.

Reece: This is the place I would be when I'm not going to class or directing a choir. Usually planning some assignments for you guys.

Kandace: So, what's our plan against Annika?

Reece: First of all, we are going to give Annika the soprano part and give her the highest note. Next, we will sing tomorrow so we have to humiliate her. Then she'll learn her lesson.

George: That's the best plan I've ever heard of.

Troy: Yeah.

Reece: Good, and here are your assignments for the choir kids.

Raphael: Why didn't we- oh, we are theater kids.

Kandace: You know there is another room here, that is Jenny's room.

Reece: That's right, let's head downstairs, we have another class to do.

The children went to their classes. Later that day, Blake and Brad picked Zoe up for choir sessions. They met their friends again.

Blake: Hi everyone.

George: Hey guys.

Reece: You guys finally came, before Annika comes, we need to practice Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and then I will find a way to get revenge on her. Oh and since you guys already did vocal warm ups, you can sing anyway.

Song: Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

Everyone: #Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? #Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality #Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see#

Zoe: #I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy#

Everyone: #Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low#

Brad: #Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me#

Blake: #Mama, just killed a man #Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead#

Troye: #Mama, life had just begun #But now I've gone and thrown it all away#

George: #Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry #If I'm not back again this time tomorrow #Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters#

Connor: #Too late, my time has come #Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time#

James: #Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go #Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth#

Luke: #Mama, ooh#

Everyone: #Any way the wind blows#

Luke: #I don't wanna die #I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all#

Calum: #I see a little silhouetto of a man#

Everyone: #Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango? #Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Galileo#

Troy, George, Luke, James and Tristan: #Galileo#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Galileo#

Troy, George, Luke, James and Tristan: #Galileo#

Everyone: #Galileo Figaro#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Magnifico#

Michael: #But I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me#

Everyone: #He's just a poor boy from a poor family #Spare him his life from this monstrosity#

Ashton: #Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?#

Everyone: #Bismillah! No, we will not let you go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Let him go#

Everyone: #Bismillah! We will not let you go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Let him go#

Everyone: #Bismillah! We will not let you go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Let me go#

Everyone: #Will not let you go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Let me go#

Everyone: #Will not let you go# #Never, never, never, never let me go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Ah#

Everyone: #No, no, no, no, no, no, no#

George: #Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia#

Everyone: #Mamma mia, let me go #Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!#

Brad: #So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? #So you think you can love me and leave me to die? #Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby! #Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here#

Everyone: #Ooh #Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah#

Blake: #Nothing really matters, anyone can see #Nothing really matters #Nothing really matters to me #Any way the wind blows#

Reece: Well done guys, now we need somewhere we could humiliate Annika.

Zoe: I know, after the song, I will put water on her.

Reece: Then how can we do that?

Zoe: When we split apart, I will use my powers to get a bucket of water and then spill it on her. She will be totally drenched. This is how it's done.

Zoe used her powers and got 13 markers, 6 on each side to portray the choir and 1 in the middle to portray Annika. Then she got a pencil sharpener to portray the bucket of water.

Zoe: This is how it goes, when Blake finished his solo, we will all split apart, 6 on each side and then Annika in the middle. After that, I will make the bucket spill water over Annika and then she will be wet in no time.

Brad: That's a good idea, Blake and I will get the bucket and you have to check if Annika is coming.

Zoe: Alright then.

Blake and Brad went out to fetch water. Zoe and George are talking to each other while she is drawing because it is her art project.

George: So who is your homeroom teacher? Mine is Mr. Nathan.

Zoe: Mine is Ms. Barnes.

George: Really? Ms. Barnes? I used to study with her last year.

Zoe: Cuz you're in Year 8. I'm finished, what do you think? It's Blake, Brad, Troy, me and you beating up Annika like she's made of glass.

George: That looks smashing.

Zoe: I know.

That's when footsteps can be heard. Zoe and George peaked through the door and Annika is about to come. The girl jumbled around her pockets for her phone and called her brothers.

Zoe: Blake, Brad, did you get the water?

Brad: Yes, why? We're almost at the choir room.

Zoe: Annika is coming.

Then Blake and Brad came inside and Zoe hung up her phone.

George: She's coming.

Reece: Is she?

Calum: Everyone in your places.

Everyone went into their places and Blake and Brad hid the bucket somewhere so that Annika won't see it. Once she came, she went into the middle and Zoe gave her the sheet music. Then everyone started singing and Annika sounded horrible.

Song: Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

Everyone: #Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? #Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality #Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see#

Zoe: #I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy#

Everyone: #Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low#

Brad: #Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me#

Blake: #Mama, just killed a man #Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead#

Troye: #Mama, life had just begun #But now I've gone and thrown it all away#

George: #Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry #If I'm not back again this time tomorrow #Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters#

Connor: #Too late, my time has come #Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time#

James: #Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go #Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth#

Luke: #Mama, ooh#

Everyone: #Any way the wind blows#

Luke: #I don't wanna die #I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all#

Calum: #I see a little silhouetto of a man#

Everyone: #Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango? #Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Galileo#

Troy, George, Luke, James and Tristan: #Galileo#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Galileo#

Troy, George, Luke, James and Tristan: #Galileo#

Everyone: #Galileo Figaro#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Magnifico#

Michael: #But I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me#

Everyone: #He's just a poor boy from a poor family #Spare him his life from this monstrosity#

Ashton: #Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?#

Everyone: #Bismillah! No, we will not let you go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Let him go#

Everyone: #Bismillah! We will not let you go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Let him go#

Everyone: #Bismillah! We will not let you go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Let me go#

Everyone: #Will not let you go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Let me go#

Everyone: #Will not let you go# #Never, never, never, never let me go#

Zoe, Brad, Blake, Connor, Calum, Michael and Ashton: #Ah#

Everyone: #No, no, no, no, no, no, no#

George: #Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia#

Everyone: #Mamma mia, let me go #Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!#

Brad: #So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? #So you think you can love me and leave me to die? #Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby! #Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here#

Everyone: #Ooh #Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah#

Blake: #Nothing really matters, anyone can see #Nothing really matters #Nothing really matters to me #Any way the wind blows#

After the song, Zoe used her powers and then splashed water on Annika. Nobody got wet but Annika was drenched.

Annika: (screams) You idiots! That's it, I am out of this stupid choir, even if I'm forced to.

Everyone: (laughs)

Connor: That was so funny.

Brad: I know, but how are we going to clean up this mess?

Zoe: I got it.

Zoe picked up the water with her powers and put it back to the bucket.

Zoe: There you go.

Blake: Let's go home, yeah?

Brad and Zoe: Okay.

George: Zoe, see you tomorrow?

Zoe: George, we see each other everyday. You live next door.

Troy: Same for me.

Reece: And me.

Brad: Would you mind if we could head home together? Mum told us that she picked Kenneth up so she told us we could take the bus home.

George: That would be a good idea.

James: See you tomorrow everyone.

Everyone: (laughs)
