Daphne & Velma Page #2

---

Daphne.

So it is you. For a second,

I thought I was going crazy.

You know your contact info

doesn't come up in the system?

I know. I like it like that.

Oh, okay.

Well, do you wanna

get lunch later?

We could tell everyone

about the curse of Crystal Cove.

The blue-green aura was just

photosensitive plankton

being disrupted

by boat propellers.

Well, I still think

it was a ghost.

The fire ghost. Boo! Argh!

I can't have lunch with you,

Daphne.

Not today, not ever.

What? Why?

My mop!

Yikes! That's gotta hurt.

- Yeah, I hope Velma's okay.

- No, I mean, that's gotta hurt.

Ooh, cool. That

impressively fast editing.

'I mean, she's already

in last place, but still..'

- Wait, Velma's in last place?

- 'Yeah.'

But she's so smart.

It's impossible.

- See you later.

- Later.

Bye.

'Roman History

completed in record time.'

I actually went to school

in Rome for a bit.

Is that a California roll?

I just saw it in the line.

I can't believe you knew

all the moons of Saturn.

Mr. Nussbaum

was totally blown away.

Yeah, my parents have this

coffee-table book of Saturn

that I flipped through

this morning. Total luck.

You've gotta be my lab partner

tomorrow.

You'll totally help me win

on the Bloom Bracket.

- For sure.

- Sweet!

- See you tomorrow.

- Alright, Daphne.

See ya.

Hello.

Somebody there?

Hello. Oh!

- Velma!

- Daphne.

Hi.

I was just on my way

to a, um, sports match.

Mm-hm, in the sports classroom.

You mean the gym?

What? Velma, w-what is with

all the lies?

This isn't you.

- Go home, Daphne.

- Why are you acting like this?

Did you hear that?

No.

Hear what?

It sounded like a ghost.

Please, statistically, the

likelihood that ghost are real

is somewhere

in the .0002% range.

Okay, fine, but I think

we can agree on one thing.

- 'Activating.'

- We need to investigate.

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Velma.

For one second, pretend you're

the friend I thought you are.

Okay?

Okay, but just to be clear

we are not investigating

together, okay?

You're investigating and I'm..

...going to the sports match

in the sports classroom.

Looks like someone's

possessing this place.

More like the computer clips

shorted the circuits again.

Do they do that too?

- Spencer?

- Spencer?

It's a secret passage.

Dad! What are you doing here?

Hey, honey.

'I have a question.'

Is, is my leg..

...screaming

or is that just in my head?

What are you doin' here?

What are you doin' here?

What does it look like?

I'm mopping.

That's what they all say.

Much better.

Whoo. Wow, that's so funny.

Me running into you at your

school. What a coincidence.

Nedley, I think it's time

you're honest with our daughter.

Yeah, dad,

why were you at my school?

Well, I thought

I was supposed to pick you up.

- Nedley.

- Elizabeth.

Dad.

- What?

- I was following you.

What? Why?

There is a reason

you think you're so lucky.

I just felt awful about us

disrupting your life

moving form city to city,

switching schools.

That time you were four

and I lost you

in that casino in Ibiza

for 36 hours.

- You what?

- You know what, never mind.

Look, I just..

Ow, ow, ow, ow.

I so wanted your life

to be perfect

that I, I made sure it is.

Every first day of school,

every test, everything..

...I was always there.

Dad, what are you saying?

You're not the luckiest girl

in the world, kiddo.

Unless you consider me

your lucky charm.

Turn on my pump-up playlist.

Uh-huh, turn up the beat.

Alright, let's do this.

Please tell me

that's French toast I smell.

Okay, but that's just at home,

right?

And I'm also the

tour guide for new students.

- 'Heads up.'

- No way.

Legitimate Tulip,

they're my favorite band.

Thanks, Dolores.

Well, what about school

in Tokyo?

I was translating everything

you said into Japanese.

And your chopsticks

were secretly tiny forks.

I designed those.

What about the time

I scored a half-court shot

at a basketball game

with my eyes closed?

- That was real...

- Okay.

...ly me disguised as a mascot.

There were trampolines involved.

I'm so sorry, Daphne.

Dad, how could you?

You've literally sheltered me

my whole life.

He was just trying

to protect you.

I don't need protection, okay?

I can handle myself.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm

gonna use my Clothe Me Closet

to pick out my outfit

for tomorrow. Hmph!

That was you, too, wasn't it?

Four years

of Parsons School of Design.

Okay, that's honestly

really impressive, but..

Goodnight!

Well, I-I-I thought

that went great.

I guess I'm just on my own now.

'Come closer.'

Why can't you just stay out

of this, Daphne?

Right.

Guessing the violin serenade

every morning was my dad.

Flying solo today. No problem.

Pilots fly solo all the time.

Wait. No, they don't.

They, like, always

have co-pilots.

It's one of the most basic

safety regulations.

It's okay.

You got this.

'Nice outfit.'

'She looked so

much cooler yesterday.'

'Now she can

get rid of those shoes.'

'Heads up, eggplant.'

- Oh, sorry.

- Hey!

- Oh, are you okay?

- Yeah.

Oh, so plum and sage.

That's a bold color choice.

Turns out my dad

was my Clothe Me Closet.

Huh?

And you probably

don't have one of those.

I don't know what it is.

But I do know,

uh, I can help you out.

Uh, okay. Let's see here.

Hold this

and we will just do..

...that. Ooh!

Pink, cool.

Pattern, okay,

we're getting there.

- Oh, my gosh.

- And, uh..

Oh, you love aliens.

I love aliens.

Well, it's yours to keep.

Just feel free to incinerate

your other outfit.

I will do that. Thank you.

Oh! Sorry.

- It's just water.

- Eww.

Well, okay, students,

today is the day

you've all been waiting for.

We're gonna experiment with CO2.

Find your lab partners.

Hi,

thanks for joinin' us today.

Sorry.

Hey, Spence,

you still wanna be lab partners?

I'm good.

- Are you okay?

- Hm?

I saw you at the lockers.

You seem kind of... off.

- He's fine.

- I'm good.

But he's my lab partner.

So move along.

- You sure, Spence?

- Yeah, I'm good. Yeah.

- Right, you said that.

- I'm good.

Okay.

- Spence.

- Hm. Huh?

Hey, what's going on

with Spencer?

He just ditched me

to work with Griffin.

He's acting really strange.

I think

something happened to him

after we lost him last night.

Or maybe

he doesn't wanna talk to you.

Kind of like

how I don't wanna talk to you.

Seriously? Now you're tryin'

to fight with me?

There is something wrong

with him.

Hm.

Oh, God.

We're the only people

who saw him go

into that possessed locker

last night.

Plus, I have this recording.

Fine. He's acting weird, okay.

What are we supposed

to do about it?

Better to stay out of it.

Yeah, I guess you don't care

about anyone.

Enough of the chatting,

Daphne, Velma.

Are you two gonna be

lab partners or not?

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes, we are.

- Right.

Let me handle this.

Of course, who cares

about teamwork, right?

- 'Whoa!'

- 'What just happened?'

'I'm good.'
