Dawn Of The Dead(Transcript)

It is a nice day, the choir and theatre kids were busy preparing for their performance in Arena Birmingham. Zoe and George saw Annika talking to Mr. Stalin.

Zoe: When did Mr. Stalin and Annika get along?

George: When Annika and the mean girls saved the library.

Zoe: They saved the library?

George: Yeah. Wait. Annika would never do such hero work.

Zoe: I know, but can you please tell me the story.

George: Alright. This is how it started off.

Scene cuts to a flashback when the mean girls were talking to each other. Then Mr. Stalin went up to them.

Mr. Stalin: Oi! Girls!

Annika: What is it, Mr. Stalin?

Mr. Stalin: Look, I have to show you something.

Mr. Stalin shows what the library normally looks like on the tablet.

Mr. Stalin: This is what the library normally looks like.

Then he shows what the library looks like now.

Mr. Stalin: But, this is what the library looks like now.

Emma: Yay! Flying books.

Geri: This is not a 'yay' situation, Emma.

Annika: Yeah.

Victoria: Hang on, not all the books are flying. Some of them are still on the shelves. We have to go to the library to collect more evidence.

Mr. Stalin: Well, let me know how it goes. I have to correct student's exams and give them their scores.

Melanie: Nope, you're coming with us.

Mr. Stalin: Fine.

They soon went to the library in the 4th floor and the books are trying to escape.

Victoria: Are there any security cameras in this library? You know, to review the tapes from this morning to see if there's anything unusual.

Mr. Stalin: There's a room with security cameras at the far end of the library.

Yuka: Alright, here's the plan. We are going to open the doors-

But Annika went into the library, screaming.

Mr. Stalin: Oi.

Yuka: We're going to follow Annika.

They all ran towards the library and the books are gaining on them.

Melanie: Run! The books are gaining on us!

Mr. Stalin: Come on, run! Security room is to the left!

They soon made it to the security room.

Hazel: We made it.

Mr. Stalin: I got a paper cut.

Melanie closed the door and the books started banging on them.

Mr. Stalin: Here are the security camera monitors- I'll cue up all the footage from this morning.

Mr. Stalin then cued up the footage.

Victoria: These 3 expelled students visited the library this morning: Dave Doubleson...

Everyone: (gasps)

Victoria: Tammy Tenson-Spots.

Everyone: (gasps)

Victoria: And Steven Evenson.

Everyone: (gasps)

Victoria: This would go a lot faster if you saved your gasps until the end.

Annika: Oh yeah.

Yuka: I can see that.

Victoria: Dave Doubleson likes doubling numbers, so if you start with 2 then double it, you get 4. Double that, you get 8. Tammy Tenson-Spots, she likes to count by tens. 10, 20, 30, 40. And Steven Evenson, he's only into even numbers.

Hazel: Which is any number that can be divided by 2, or in half. To fully illustrate this concept, these 4 security numbers are an example of an even number. 2 here, 2 here. 4 divided in half.

Mr. Stalin: Oh.

Victoria: Now you can gasp.

Everyone: (gasps)

Mr. Stalin: So... which one of them did it?

Emma: Well, each villain has a thing for numbers, and every book in the library has a number on the spine.

Mr. Stalin: Yeah, that's how the librarian organises them on the shelves.

Melanie: If we catch some of the flying books, maybe the numbers can help us find out which villain did it!

Mr. Stalin: Great. Wait, when you say 'catch some of the flying books,' you mean with our hands?

Yuka: I wouldn't use your feet.

They all tried to catch the books.

Annika: I got one!

Victoria: Ah! Me too!

Emma: Me three!

Hazel: Me four!

Victoria: Let's head back to the security office!

They went back to the security office and closed the door. They then pinned down the books to prevent them from flying.

Victoria: My book has the number 10!

Hazel: Mine has 40!

Mr. Stalin: I got 80!

Emma: 20!

Victoria: Let's put these on a number line.

Victoria put the numbers on a number line with her phone.

Victoria: Here are the 4 books we caught. If only we could find a pattern.

Hazel: Doubling!

Victoria: What?

Hazel: 10 plus 10 is 20, 20 plus 20 is 40, 40 plus 40 is 80.

Victoria: The numbers are doubled.

Annika: Nice work, Hazel.

Victoria: Must be the work of Dave Doubleson.

Everyone: (gasps)

Victoria: Now we can set our flying-book-inator to the right setting and blast the books.

Everyone: Yay!

They all went out and snuck up to the flying books. Victoria was ready to blast the books.

Victoria: Time to write this story an ending!

But just as she blasted the books, the books started ganging up against her and her friends.

Victoria: Uh oh...

Annika: Now they're mad!

Melanie: We need to run!

They all ran back to the security office and shut the door.

Mr. Stalin: What happened?

Victoria: I don't know!

Mr. Stalin: You said it was doubling!

Emma: Shh, shh, shh! We're not alone in here! Hazel, turn around.

Hazel turned around and there is a book on her. Everyone screamed and yelled, but Mr. Stalin got it out.

Victoria: Get the number!

Mr. Stalin: Number 30!

Then, Victoria got her phone and showed the number line.

Victoria: Okay, now we have 10, 20, 30, 40 and 80. It can't be a doubling pattern.

Hazel: Because 10 plus 10 is 20, but 20 plus 20 is 40, not 30.

Mr. Stalin: Wait a minute, it's counting up by tens. 10, 20, 30, 40. It must be Tammy Tenson-Spots!

Victoria: But it could also be Steven Evenson.

Mr. Stalin: Okay, I'm confused.

Victoria: Check it out: 10, 20, 30, 40 and 80 are all even numbers. They all have zeroes at the end of them, which means they can all be divided by 2, or cut in half.

Mr. Stalin: What do we do now?

Victoria: We head out back there and we try 2 options: first, we blast the books for ten, and if it doesn't work, we blast the books or even numbers.

Yuka: But, I'm worried that if the books are flying too fast, we won't be able to try both options.

Mr. Stalin: Well, is she right?

Victoria: There's only one way to find out.

The girls soon went out of the security room as Victoria used her Flying-Book-Inator.

Victoria: Flying-Book-Inator set for tens. Time to end this chapter for good!

Annika: Yay!

Victoria blasted her gadget but it doesn't work, again. The books started flying at them.

Victoria: They're still flying at us!

Hazel: Oh.

Victoria: Flying-book-Inator set for even numbers.

She blasted her gadget again but it doesn't work.

Annika: Uh oh.

Victoria: Run!

They ran back to the security room where Mr. Stalin is.

Mr. Stalin: What happened?

Victoria: I don't know! I thought for sure it would be one of those 3 expelled students! Maybe we were wrong.

Mr. Stalin: Maybe we didn't see everyone. Look over here, see that elbow? Someone else was in the library!

Geri: Hey, I don't recognise that elbow and I'm usually very good at elbows!

Mr. Stalin: I bet you could see the rest of that person if you checked the camera in the other security office!

Annika: How many security cameras do you need in a library?

Mr. Stalin: We just need security cameras all over the school. To prevent people from breaking in, and to prevent stupid students to be singing their sing-songs.

Annika: Yeah, we hate them too.

Victoria: Guys! Let's go!

Mr. Stalin: No! The other security office is on the other side of the library! We'll never make it!

Melanie: Yes, we will. We're going to sneak past the books without them seeing us.

Mr. Stalin: How?

Victoria: I have an idea.

The girls and Mr. Stalin wrapped themselves in books in order to sneak past the flying books. They went out of the security room to go to the other security room.

Mr. Stalin: Victoria, you sure this is going to work?

Victoria: I'm not Victoria, I'm a book!

Mr. Stalin: What? What happened to Victoria?

Victoria: Just blend in!

Mr. Stalin: Oh!

Emma: We should've used magazines.

Mr. Stalin: Shh! I think they're getting suspicious! I think they smell my paper cut!

Annika: Shh! They're onto us!

Yuka: Run!

They all ran to the other security room and Victoria saw the footage.

Victoria: Frieda Fiverson! That's whose elbow it was! Frieda likes to count by fives.

Mr. Stalin: But how does our number pattern connect with counting by 5?

Melanie: If you count by five, you would still get all the numbers on this line. Start at 5. 5 plus 5 equals 10!

Emma: 5 more is 15: another 5 makes 20.

Mr. Stalin: None of the books we've collected so far has any 5, 15, 25 or even 35, for that matter, if you're going to count by fives.

Victoria: Well, I'm sure they're flying around here somewhere.

Mr. Stalin: But how can we be sure?

Yuka: Oh, well that clears it up, right there.

They all saw the footage of Frieda bringing books to life.

Frieda: Rise, books, rise! Rise! Rise! (laughs)

Mr. Stalin: Yeah, okay, it was her.

Melanie: Ah! Case closed! Let's go zapsome books!

Victoria: Where's the Flying-Book-Inator?

Yuka: Uh oh.

Victoria: Oh no! It must've fallen from my pocket while I was running!

Annika: Don't we need that kind of thing?

Geri: Victoria, you're wearing a little black dress, you don't have pockets.

Victoria: Whatever!

Emma: Which is why the girls and I are going after it. Can you help us fight off all those books?

Mr. Stalin: Yes!

They all went out of the security room.

Victoria: Everybody ready?

Everyone: Ready!

Victoria: on the count of 7.

Mr. Stalin: Huh?

Victoria: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7!

Victoria grabbed the gadget.

Victoria: Setting the Flying-Book-Inator to Frieda Fiverson.

Mr. Stalin: We can't hold them much longer!

Victoria zapped her gadget and it worked. Everyone cheered.

Annika: Oh Mr. Stalin, someone has to keep those books.

Mr. Stalin: Maybe just let those stupid choir and theatre kids or Janice tidy that up.

Girls: Yeah.

Scene cuts back to George and Zoe in the auditorium.

George: And that's how the Mean Girls saved the library.

Zoe: George, that was us and the rest of the crew.

George: What?

Zoe: The whole case, we solved it, not those mean girls. Remember?

George: Oh yeah.

Zoe: It was kind of weird why we helped Mr. Stalin.

George: So why were Mr. Stalin friends with the mean girls anyways?

Mr. Stalin: Annika is my niece!

Both: Oh...

Zoe: That explains why he hated us.

George: Yeah.
