Dani and Holly's Team Up

The 4th episode of A Loud Genderswap!

Transcript:
On a Friday afternoon, Dani was with her father at the community college.

Sarge: Dani, why don’t you go to the science laboratory while I prepare some lesson plans?

Dani: Alright! I can finally work on my latest experiment!

Dani left.

Sarge: She’s such a good kid.

~ ~ ~

At the science laboratory, Holly was writing her chemistry essay.

Dani headed in.

Dani: Oh great… Holly?!

Holly: Hello, Dani.

Dani: Why, oh why are you here?

Holly: Because. I needed a quiet place to study. My brothers have been blowing up my phone and it’s been driving me crazy! Why are YOU here?

Dani: I came to work on some experiments while my dad… your English and history professor… is doing some important work.

Holly: Well, that just won’t do! Soon as I finish this essay, I’m going to help Levi tutor Linka.

Dani: Don’t you think Levi is a little TOO out of your league?

Holly: What do you mean?

Dani: Oh. It’s clear to me that Levi only likes you because of your looks. But believe me. If you looked as hideous as your evil little ancestor, Zane Tiri, in his demon form, he wouldn’t like you one bit!

Holly: How DARE you! I happen to know Levi can see me for the sensitive girl I am!

Dani laughed condescendingly.

Dani: SENSITIVE?! Holly, you’re manipulating him!

Holly: I am not!

Dani: Like great, great, great, great, great grandfather… like great, great, great, great, great granddaughter!

Holly: If you’re really to suggest I’m like my diabolical ancestor, then I don’t wanna hear it!

Dani began poking Holly.

Holly: Quit it!

Dani: I won’t until you admit it!

Dani continued to poke Holly.

Holly: STOP!

Dani: NEVER!

Dani kept poking Holly.

Holly snapped her pencil in half.

Holly: That’s it…

Holly pushed Dani off of her.

Dani: Oh, Holly… You messed with the wrong girl…

As Dani and Holly were arguing, Sarge, who was walking by, observed everything.

He stormed into the laboratory.

Sarge: Dani Ronalda Miller! You come with me this instant!

Dani gulped and followed Sarge.

Dani: Yes, father?

Sarge: This rivalry between you and Holly has GOT to end! What is it this time?

Dani: Well, she-

Sarge: I don’t want to hear it! You will be here all day WITH Holly until you can work things out. Do something together! Work together on a project! I don’t care! Just get along!

Dani: Fine.

Dani stormed into the laboratory.

Dani: This is all your fault, you know…

Holly: What are you talking about?

Dani: My father wants us to do something together and quit our rivalry.

Holly: And?

Dani: She’s keeping us here all day until we work things out.

Holly: That just won’t do! After I finish this blasted essay, Levi and I were going to exchange study tips.

Dani: Oh. You and Levi. Again. I knew it.

Holly: I know you like Levi too. I mean, what’s not to like about him?

Dani: Exactly! He’s so special! You, however…

Holly: If you’re going to insult me again, please. I heard it all. Your dad wants us to get along.

Dani: Fine. I know one thing I wanted to do today…

Dani took out her time travel wrist-watch.

Dani: I wanted to go to Corona to help Varia and Cassandro with their engagement celebration.

Holly: Corona?! But...how are we possibly to do that?!

Dani: Watch and learn…

Dani turned on her wrist-watch.

A portal came out.

Holly: Woah!

The portal sucked both Holly and Dani in.

~ ~ ~

Dani and Holly landed into 1501 in Corona.

Holly got up and dusted herself off.

Holly: So this is the famous Corona Zane Tiri kept talking about. He’s right. Nothing special.

Dani: Holly! Surely Varia and Cassandro can’t be far…

Holly: Alright…

Dani and Holly kept walking through the town.

Varia and Cassandro went up to them.

Varia: Dani?

Dani: Varia! Cassandro! Man, am I glad to see you! Holly’s driving me crazy!

Holly: Hello! I’m RIGHT next to you!

Cassandro: Holly, right? I haven’t seen you since you helped me in the modern times adjusting.

Holly: Well, yeah. I really want to know. How’s you and Varia doing?

Cassandro: Varia and I are doing great!

Varia: Yeah! We’re going to throw a BIG engagement celebratory feast in Corona with help from Raphael and Eugia!

Holly: Fascinating.

Dani: And we’re here to help before Zane Tiri ruins it.

Holly: Now I don’t believe-

Dani: What? You don’t believe Zane Tiri would ruin their celebratory feast? I think he would. No. I KNOW he would.

Holly: Zane Tiri just HAPPENED to get me into college!

A familiar voice echoed.

Voice: Right I did!

Dani, Holly, Varia and Cassandro turned around to see Zane Tiri.

Cassandro held up a frying pan.

Zane Tiri: Cassandro. Put that silly object away. I came to discuss...things...with Holly.

Holly: Well, you look at that, Dani? MY ancestor wants to do something else for me!

Zane Tiri took Holly’s hand and they left.

Dani: Great. If that demon manipulates Holly, I swear…

Varia: Are you saying you care about Holly now?

Cassandro: Cause all the times you’ve traveled here, you couldn’t stand her!

Dani: On second thought. I don’t care WHAT he does to Holly! If my dad really THINKS Holly and I would become friends, he’s mistaken!

Varia and Cassandro looked at each other confused.

Dani: Whatever. Why don’t I help you with your engagement celebration?

Varia: That sounds good!

Dani, Varia, and Cassandro headed to the castle.

~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, Zane Tiri and Holly were sitting beside a stream in Corona.

Zane Tiri: So, tell me, Holly. How’s college going?

Holly: College is going just fine. No lousy brothers, no chaos, and pure freedom!

Zane Tiri: Your brothers ARE pretty annoying. I’m glad I saved you from them.

Holly: You know, one thing I don’t get. Dani’s told me how bad you are. I...don’t really see it.

Zane Tiri: Of course that DANI would tell you bad stuff about me. I can sense some jealousy coming from her.

Holly: Jealousy?! That’s crazy! I’m nothing special. Really. I’m not. If you haven’t stepped in and helped me get into my dream college, I don’t know where I’d be.

Zane Tiri: It could be because you and Levi have been getting quite chummy…

Holly: How do you know about Levi?

Zane Tiri: I know everything. Yeah. So long as you and Levi are an item, Dani will get even more jealous.

Holly: I am aware.

Zane Tiri: So here’s my proposal… You and Levi get closer. Dani gets even more jealous. 30 years from 2021, you marry Levi. Dani gets furious. And?

Holly looked confused.

Zane Tiri: You’ll be happier with him than Dani could be with him.

Holly: I did think Levi and I could have a future together...but that’s crazy! We’re years apart!

Zane Tiri: Maybe. But maybe not…

Zane Tiri winked.

Holly: Okay. Enough on me. What about you? What’s your role in Corona?

Zane Tiri: Wouldn’t you like to know?

Holly: ...I would actually.

Zane Tiri: Well, I’m a VERY important face in this kingdom…

Holly: Yeah?

Zane Tiri: I’m Prince Raphael’s protector and mentor.

Holly: REALLY?! No way! You know, I’ve always been fascinated with royalty. My parents work as an accountant for the king of England back home!

Zane Tiri: Very interesting. Now, we must find Dani again… perhaps you could help her see the light. Make her regret liking Levi…

Holly looked confused.

Zane Tiri: Or, you could follow me…

Zane Tiri and Holly left the stream and headed to where Dani, Varia, and Cassandro were setting up for the feast.

Dani: Holly! What did that demon want from you?

Zane Tiri: Nothing much, old friend… Holly and I were just...catching up.

Zane Tiri flashed out.

Dani: Catching up?!

Holly: Well, yeah. You’re so wrong about him, Dani. He’s nice.

Dani: You’re not forgetting he trapped you in a book.

Holly: Really. I believe that was just a dream. He wouldn’t actually -

Varia and Cassandro overheard.

Varia: Oh, but he did. I was there.

Cassandro: As was I.

Dani: And me. Look, Holly. You can’t trust him.

Cassandro: He can’t be trusted.

Holly: My ONE ancestor to help me get into my dream college? You’re saying I can’t trust the one person to SAVE my life?! That’s it! I’m outta here! By the way, Dani, you and Levi aren’t a thing!

Holly stormed off.

Dani: Well? I was right?

Varia and Cassandro glared at Dani.

Dani: OKAY! I KNEW Holly was trouble! We gotta stop her AND Zane Tiri!

Varia: If we stop Zane Tiri, we’ll not be able to enjoy our engagement feast.

Cassandro: Yeah. Sorry, Dani. But you’re on your own for this one…

Dani: GREAT! My own ancestors won’t help! Just great!

Dani stormed off.

Cassandro: She’ll be fine…

Holly found Zane Tiri eating grapes by Attina’s new bakery.

Holly: I knew I’d find you here.

Zane Tiri: Holly? Well, I just was enjoying an afternoon snack of grapes! Want some?

Zane Tiri held up some grapes.

Holly: While grapes ARE my favorite fruit, I am rather stuffed from lunch a little while ago.

Zane Tiri looked disappointed.

Holly: But. You were right. Dani is jealous of me.

Zane Tiri perked up.

Zane Tiri: I knew it. You know, you could be useful…

Holly: What do you mean?

Zane Tiri: Well, I want you to crash Varia and Cassandro’s silly little engagement party and destroy it.

Holly: Destroy it?!

Zane Tiri: Of course! Dani thinks so highly of those two. And if you take one thing away that she cares about from her, you’ll have the ultimate satisfaction.

Holly: I would?

Zane Tiri: Of course! Because Dani will be so distraught, she’ll no longer want to seek out Levi again and he’ll be all yours!

Holly: I dunno…

Zane Tiri: Do it. For your great, great, great, great grandfather…

Holly: You know what? I think Dani was right about you all along. I have to go…

Holly left.

Zane Tiri: Holly will truly regret undermining me!

Zane Tiri shape-shifted into some wind and blew away.

~ ~ ~

Holly found Dani, Varia, and Cassandro back at the castle.

Dani: Oh, look who comes crawling back…

Holly: You were right about him, okay?

Dani smirked.

Dani: Who was I right about?

Holly muttered.

Holly: Zane Tiri…

Dani: What was that? I couldn’t hear you.

Holly: Zane Tiri! Zane Tiri, okay! You were SO right about him!

Dani looked relieved and began jumping up and down.

Dani: HA! I knew you were incredibly gullible!

Dani began laughing maniacally.

Cassandro: Dani. Holly, you should’ve listened to us.

Varia: Yeah. Cass and I know Zane Tiri. And we’ve had to deal with him before.

Cassandro: I was in a similar situation, Holly. He manipulated me into betraying Raphael AND taking the moonstone….WHICH I STILL HAVE!

Cassandro threw his hands up in frustration, as black rocks began to spit out of his hands.

Holly: Wow!

Dani: Yeah. You REALLY messed up, Holly.

Holly: But what do I do? Zane Tiri wanted me to ruin your engagement party, Varia and Cassandro. I told him I couldn’t do it…

Varia: You didn’t…

Holly: What do you mean?

A strong gust of wind blew by.

Holly: Man...why is it so cold now?

A snow flurry began snowing only on Holly.

Holly: Really?! This is quite strange!

Dani: Holly. It’s Zane Tiri.

Holly: Zhan Tiri! Right!

Cassandro: Nope. It is!

Zane Tiri came out in his true form.

Zane Tiri: Oh, Holly. You’ll regret messing with me. I thought we could be like family.

Holly: You are NOT my family!

Varia: Technically speaking, Holly -

Holly eyed Varia.

Varia: Not the time. I know…

Zane Tiri: You’ll never live to see your 23rd birthday, Holly…

Holly: That’s a threat! I know that’s a threat!

Zane Tiri: You could’ve let me guide you and help you. But NO! You chose to be like Dani.

Holly: I can’t believe I’m saying this… But there is NOTHING wrong with Dani! At least she’s a nice, kind, intelligent girl. Not like you. No! You’re nothing but a mean, evil, manipulative DEMON who ruins people’s lives! You’re not Raphael's protector! You’ve been tormenting Corona for years. Is that right? You want to DESTROY Corona. Isn’t that true?

Zane Tiri: UGH! You got me! Man. For a British cutie, you sure are smart!

Holly: Thank you?

Zane Tiri: Know that you would’ve been a useful ally. But I guess… you’re nothing but a sappy sentimentalist who cares about your friends. Like weaklings like Varia and Cassandro here.

Cassandro: I. Am. NOT. A. Weakling!

Cassandro suddenly blasted some black rocks out of his hands towards Zane Tiri.

Zane Tiri dodged them.

Zane Tiri: You REALLY shouldn’t have done that!

Zane Tiri shape-shifted into his demon form.

Holly: AHHHHHHHH! WHERE is my Penny Farthing when I need it?!

Zane Tiri: You’ll all regret crossing me! Especially Holly!

Holly: Just get me out of here!

Dani: I got this… Come on, Holly. Let’s get out of here!

Dani turned on her wrist-watch.

A portal opened up and sucked Dani and Holly into it.

Zane Tiri: Holly will regret running!

Cassandro: Yeah. But I KNOW someone who will regret manipulating people!

Cassandro ran right up to the top of the castle, jumped right up and hit Zane Tiri with a frying pan.

Zane Tiri collapsed and shape-shifted back into his true form.

Cassandro: Come, Varia. While we put this demon back where he belongs…

Cassandro and Varia grabbed Zane Tiri and headed towards the castle’s jail.

Back in the present, Holly and Dani landed in the community college’s science laboratory.

Holly: Oh my goodness! Thank you, so much, Dani, for rescuing me from my deranged ancestor!

Dani: Don’t mention it!

Holly began to cry.

Holly: And I’m SO sorry for everything. You know, you and Levi will be happy together.

Dani: No, no… I’M sorry! If you still like Levi, that’s fine. He’s my best friend. And I give you my blessing… IF you don’t hurt him. I love him like a brother, and if anything happens to him, I will snap you in half!

Holly gulped.

Dani: Oh, come over here!

Dani hugged Holly.

Sarge, who was walking by, observed it, and smiled.

Sarge: I KNEW those two could work it out.
