Description
Now, a panoramic view shows the San Gabriel mountains. Inside a dark cave, the wooden box lies on the ground.
Smoke rises from the ground. Red light shines in the caves. The box shatters and Apophis bursts out.
Apophis:
Ah, after thousands of years, I'm free. It's time to spread chaos and destruction across the world.
Apophis slithers toward the cave entrance.
Back at the mall, Davian and Cassandra go inside a Macy’s.
Cassandra:
Wow. There’s so much here for me to try on.
Davian:
And that’s not bad. Me and my friends come down to this store once in a while.
Cassandra holds up two swimsuits on hangers.
Cassandra:
Which swimsuit do you think would look best on me?
Davian spots a green bikini on display then points to it.
Davian:
[points to the bikini] That bikini over there.
Cassandra:
You like the green bikini and you think it’s better than these two?
Davian:
Yes, because, you know, I think you’ll look beautiful in it.
Cassandra:
That’s very sweet of you to say. I’ll try it on just to see how it looks on me.
She goes inside the changing booth. Moments later, she comes out wearing the bikini.
Cassandra:
Oh, Davian. You are right. It’s a beautiful bikini.
Davian:
Wow. You look more beautiful than ever. I think I have a crush on you.
Cassandra:
[giggles] I have a crush on you too.
Cassandra purchases the bikini.
Now at a Dave & Buster’s.
Cindy:
You’ve got real rhythm in Dance Dance Revolution A3, Zaidy boo.
Zaiden:
I’ve been playing every Dance Dance Revolution arcade games for a long time. And I’m glad I’m dating you, girls.
Sophie, Farima, Agatha & Cindy:
[giggling]
Sophie:
Now you sit tight so we can take a picture for Instagram.
Farima:
Look at his muscles.
Agatha:
Aww, he’s blushing.
Sophie, Farima, Agatha & Cindy:
[giggling]
Zaiden:
[blushing] You know, what can I say? I’m the muscular, rich guy who sure knows how to treat his four princesses that are so pretty.
Cindy:
Ooh, you make us sound like those women in the fairytales.
Zaiden:
And why not? After all, you girls are cute.
Cindy:
Thanks, Zaiden. You're so sweet.
Sophie:
Oh. We like you, Zaidy boo.
The girls cling onto him.
Cindy:
We love you so much, Zaidy boo.
Zaiden:
Um, one question for you all?
Sophie:
Yes?
Zaiden:
Well, uh, would you all like to be my dates for the Halloween dance?
Sophie:
[gasps] Oh, Zaidy boo! I thought you’d never ask!
Farima:
Of course we'd love to be your dates!
Cindy:
Of course we'd love to! We'll wear our cutest costumes and you can be our prince charming.
The group of girls huddle together, their excitement palpable. Zaiden feels a warmth spread through his chest at their eagerness. He can't help but wonder if this is what it feels like to be truly loved.
Sophie, Farima, Cindy and Agatha all hug him.
Lionel:
Oh, stunning. He asked them.
Jade:
He sure did.
Amina:
How exciting.
Davian and Cassandra arrive.
Davian:
Hey, guys. Found everything you want?
Lionel:
Sure did. We got an Xbox Series X, plus Star Wars Jedi Survivor.
Davian:
Sweet.
Jade:
We have a decorative coffin.
Amina:
We’ve bought some costumes.
Davian:
Nice. Me and Cassie bought costumes for ourselves. They’re a surprise.
Cassandra:
Come, my friends. Let me show you what I do at home.
At the mansion, Cassandra reads a book that says The Book of Potions.
Cassandra:
You’re going to be wild about my potion making.
She puts ingredients from a boiling cauldron.
Davian:
What are you making, Cassie?
Cassandra:
Fizzy inappropriate laughing potions. They fill you with the effects and the effects will make you laugh uncontrollably for 24 hours.
Sophie:
Wow.
Cassandra:
But, I daren’t sell it in my potion shop. It’s too dangerous.
Lionel:
Why is it too dangerous?
Cassandra:
It can get people deprived from their oxygen, cause them to vomit and have sudden headaches. It's not something you'd want to drink without knowing the side effects. But, I have an idea.
Cassandra pours the fizzy inappropriate laughing potion into a Gatorade bottle and seals it tightly.
Sophie:
That's a great idea, Cassie! We could use this to teach Regina a lesson for bullying us during lunch. You know,give her a taste of her own medicine.
Cassandra’s lips curl into a sinister smile.
Now in the plains, Apophis slithers down the rocky slope.
Apophis:
Now that I’m back, I must fulfill my duty. And when I do, I’ll be the ruler of the world. [sinister laugh]
Apophis morphs into human form with a hooded cloak.
Apophis:
Now, I’ll get someone to do my bidding.
At sunrise, a pigeon flies past the horizon.
In a coffee house, Davian drinks coffee.
Cassandra seductively takes a sip of her coffee.
Cassandra:
[flirting] You’re cute. You’re such a real handsome man.
Davian:
Uh, thank you, but, hearing your lovely voice kind of makes me blush.
Cassandra:
[giggles] You’re so cute when you’re shy.
Davian:
[chuckles] You’re cute too. To ask you a question, what did you mean last night when you said, “you have an idea”?
Cassandra:
[giggles] You’ll see.
Sir Dustin Looper, Marianna Benuba, Princess Alakama Karutzi and Adam the Dragon entered. A magician wearing a top hat comes up from behind them.
Larry:
Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Dustin Looper from The Princess and the Knight is in the coffee house! Sir Dustin Looper is here and he’s signing autographs right now!
Sir Dustin Looper:
Greetings, my loyal subjects! It is an honor to be here.
Samantha:
Dustin Looper?
Augusto:
Here?
Davian:
Signing autographs?
As Davian jumps out of his seat, the customers emerge from their tables.
Alice & Marcia:
[sigh] Dustin Lopper.
Rinny, Ginny & Winny:
Dustin Looper.
They run to him.
Sir Dustin:
What’s up, ladies?
Alice:
Hi.
Adam:
I guess that’s why you’re called the handsome knight in shining armor.
Sir Dustin:
You should join us for my birthday party.
Alice:
I can’t say no to that nor a good cup of coffee. What do you have planned for your birthday party?
Sir Dustin:
You'll see in a minute.
Alakama:
I’ll have some tea, please.
Alice:
Sure.
The crowd of fans gather around Sir Dustin Looper, all trying to get his attention. The magician, Larry, takes out a large stack of autograph cards and hands them to Sir Dustin, who begins signing them with a flourish. Amidst the excitement, Davian notices Cassandra watching Sir Dustin intently from across the room. He wonders what she finds so interesting about him.
Marianna:
Hey, Cassandra!
Cassandra:
Hi, Marianna!
Cassandra and Marianna hugged.
Marianna:
What are you doing here in LA?
Cassandra:
I just moved here from Kansas two days ago because my dad got a job as a CEO of a chocolate factory in El Segundo.
Marianna:
Congratulations to your dad.
Cassandra:
I love your movie, The Princess and the Knight. You were so magnificent in it.
Davian:
My favorite part was the “no, no, no, yes, yes, yes”.
Marianna:
Oh, the part where I captured Princess Alakama. Yes, yes, yes!
Alakama:
No, no, no!
Marianna:
Yes, yes, yes!
Alakama:
No, no, no!
Marianna:
Yes, yes, yes!
Cassandra:
That was an awesome scene. Anyway, I heard that Dustin Looper is here. Do you know him?
Marianna:
Yes, of course. He's a very nice man. He was my co-star in the movie, you know. We spent a lot of time together filming the movie. We even went to the premiere together.
Davian:
[laughs] That was pretty hilarious. My name is Davian Niklaus and I’m an expertise on dinosaurs.
Marianna:
Ah, I can tell because of your golden T-Rex ring.
Dustin:
Davian Niklaus. Read all about you in social media. Very interesting dinosaur pictures. And those glasses are so nice.
Larry:
Larry Guiliano at your service, Davian. World’s greatest magician.
Dustin:
Please to meet you.
As Sir Dustin Looper signs autographs, he notices Davian staring at him with a curious expression. He decides to engage him in conversation.
Sir Dustin:
So, Davian, what do you think of my movie?
Davian:
It's really good. It was very funny, especially the part where Marianna and Alakama go "Yes, yes, yes, no, no, no".
Sir Dustin:
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did you notice anything about my character that you found interesting?
Davian:
Well, I noticed that you're very brave and noble, always trying to protect Princess Alakama. And you the part where Adam says, "I'm coming, Elizabeth"!
Sir Dustin:
Thank you, Davian. I'm glad you noticed those things about my character.
[cat meowing]
A black and gray cat with green eyes leaps into Cassandra’s arms.
Cassandra:
Vira, you cute little feline. Did you miss me?
She pets Vira.
Larry pulls a white rabbit out of his top hat.
Larry:
Say hello to Koju.
Davian:
Hi, little cutie.
Adam:
Um, you guys want coffee?
Larry:
One cinnamon hazelnut with cream and sugar.
Dustin:
Anyway, you both are invited to my birthday party.
Davian:
You know. I have a birthday too.
Dustin:
You do? When?
Davian:
October 27th.
Dustin:
Mine too.
Davian:
How about we celebrate our birthdays over at my apartment?
Dustin:
Great idea, Davian. Your apartment sounds like a wonderful place to celebrate our birthdays. I'm sure we can all have a great time there. Maybe we can even watch a movie, or play some games. And of course, we'll have plenty of cake and ice cream!
Davian:
And we'll have some meat, too. Not just vegetables. Some real steak. I'm sure everyone would enjoy that. And we can play Demolition Dino on my Xbox One. That's always a blast. And for dessert... well, I'm thinking of getting a few pies from the bakery down the street. One cherry, one apple, one pumpkin and one fraisier cake. I'm sure everyone will be happy with that.
Now in the mountains, Apophis stands on the edge of a cliff overlooking Los Angeles.
Apophis:
Excellent. Now all I have to do is wait until I find someone that could fulfill their dreams into reality. Once the wishes have been fulfilled, I will rule the entire world! [wicked laugh]
Now at the park, Davian, Lionel, Zaiden, Jade and Amina walk along a path.
Regina, Maya and Zoey block their path.
Regina:
Peek a boo. Oh, my god. Look at this weirdo.
Maya:
No wonder you have a dinosaur stuck on your gold ring. Look at him. Eww.
Zoey:
Did you really buy that ring or did you steal it?
Davian:
Beat it, buster.
Lionel:
Regina, Maya, and Zoey, you should mind your own business. We're just having a nice walk here.
Davian:
Why don't you go bother someone else, huh? We're not interested in what you have to say. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to continue our walk.
Jade:
Yeah, we're leaving.
Amina:
Come on, Davian. Let's go.
Regina:
You're not going anywhere. Not until you answer our questions. Like, why do you wear that stupid dinosaur ring? And where did you get all that money from? You're obviously hiding something.
Davian:
I don't have to answer to you. This is none of your business.
Regina:
Oh yeah? Well, you're not going to get away from us that easy. We're not leaving until we find out what's going on. And we're not afraid to fight either. Girls, let’s teach these nerds how we do things in LA.
Maya:
Yeah! You're not gonna be able to handle us!
Zoey:
Come on, let's show them what we're made of!
Zoey, Maya and Regina stalk toward them.
Regina:
Ah ah ah! [sneezes uncontrollably] Is there a cat out here? [sneezes continuously] I'm allergic [sneezes] to [sneezes] cats.
Regina flies backwards as if being pushed by an invisible hand.
Cassandra:
Hey!
The bullies turn.
Still dressed in her casual clothes, Cassandra arrives, holding Vira while petting her.
Cassandra:
Regina, you messed with my friends. You mess with the great and powerful Cassandra and now you must suffer the consequences! I summon the cat allergic reaction!
Vira hops off of Cassandra’s arms.
Regina starts sneezing uncontrollably, covering her face with her hands. Her eyes start watering and she can barely breathe as she tries to steady herself. Maya and Zoey exchange worried glances, their bravado momentarily gone.
Regina:
[sneezes uncontrollably] I gotta.. [sneezes] RUN!!!
Regina turns and runs away. The other bullies follow suit, leaving Davian and his friends alone.
Jade and Amina laughed.
Cassandra approaches.
Cassandra:
Hello, Davian.
Davian:
You came just in time to save me. Thank you.
Cassandra:
Just doing my duty.
Davian:
You know, you and I could um...uh..go to the Natural History Museum.
Cassandra:
[giggles] Is this a date?
Davian:
This is happening. It's happening right now.
Cassandra:
That would be nice. I’ve never been on a date before.
Davian:
Onward to the museum. Later, guys.
Zaiden:
Good luck.
Jade:
Try to do the funny ploober.
Lionel:
The funny ploober?
Jade:
It’s a telling joke I’ve created.
Lionel:
Ah.
Now at the Natural History Museum.
Davian and Cassandra walk into a hall filled with dinosaur fossils on display.
Cassandra:
Look at all those fossils.
Davian:
Yeah. Paleontologists dug up those dinosaur fossils for over two centuries. Spinosaurus fossils from Egypt were destroyed during the second world war. The first T-Rex fossil was founded in 1902 in Hell Creek, Montana. My parents used to take me here when I was a kid.
Cassandra:
Which one’s your favorite dinosaur?
Davian:
The Tyrannosaurus Rex. Whenever I am home, I'm kind of a T-Rex in my apartment. I'm not as big as them, but I can be quite fierce when I need to be. It's like I'm the king of my castle. It's funny, you know. The T-Rex is the most famous dinosaur in the world, but there are over 700 species of dinosaurs, and we're only beginning to understand them. It's like trying to describe an entire continent based on one small village.
Cassandra:
They were incredible creatures, that's for sure. There's one thing I've always wondered, though...why did they go extinct? I mean, it's not like they didn't have enough food or anything.
Davian:
Some say that an asteroid collision is the cause of the mass extinction, but that's not entirely true. The asteroid impact is just one of the factors that led to their extinction. Other theories suggest that volcanic eruptions and climate change also played a role. The Deccan Traps, a series of volcanic eruptions in India, released a massive amount of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, causing global warming and changing the environment. This could have led to the decline of plant life, which in turn affected the herbivorous dinosaurs, and eventually the entire ecosystem. Another theory is that mammals, which were small and hidden in trees at the time, began to evolve and adapt to the changing environment, eventually becoming dominant.
Cassandra:
That's fascinating. What do you do when not at home?
Davian:
Well, you see on Thursdays, me and the gang go out to the Glendale Galleria.
Cassandra:
What’s at Glendale Galleria?
Davian:
Demolition Dino Night. It’s like when dinosaurs battle each other. You choose whichever dinosaur will battle another dinosaur on a tablet and win.
Cassandra:
Nice. I've never been there before. Maybe I should come with you some time.
Davian:
Oh, sure. The more the merrier. Enjoying yourself so far?
Cassandra:
More than I expected.
Davian:
[chuckles] I expect you accompany me at my birthday party.
Cassandra:
What can I do for you?
Davian:
First, you’re gonna have to address me as Handsome Dinosaur Boy so you can be my date for the party.
Cassandra:
Okay, Handsome Dinosaur Boy.
Davian puckers his lips for a kiss. Cassandra puts her finger on them.
Cassandra:
No, no, no, you bad little boy.
Davian:
[chuckles] Bad little boy is also my middle name.
Cassandra chuckles and playfully pushes him away, still keeping her finger on his lips.
Cassandra:
Now, now, Handsome Dinosaur Boy. You're gonna have to earn that kiss first. Well, let's see...Okay, let’s make a deal. I will let you kiss me if you help me make potions and humiliate Regina in the cafeteria.
Davian:
Okay, that’s a deal. You are so beautiful that I would date you even if you’re my own princess.
Cassandra:
[giggles] I can’t believe you haven’t had a girlfriend before. You are such a cutie.
Davian:
Thank you, you are very kind.
