Invisible Sister Page #4

I'll see you there tonight.

It's a date.

Coug! Watch where you're going!

It's not The Coug!

Molly? What are you doing?

So, you didn't miss your study

date with Carter after all.

- What?

- I figured out a way to pretend to be you.

- You what?!

- Yeah.

The bear costume was thick enough,

so it didn't turn invisible.

Well, at least, not right away.

Anyways, I got you a real date.

He's working

at Romp the Swamp tonight.

At least, I think it's a date.

Honestly, it was

a little hard to communicate,

being in the bear suit.

Oh my!

Bear. With no head.

- Headless bear.

- Oh, no.

Molly? What's happening?

I'm Cleo.

No. You're Molly.

No. That's Molly.

No. That's a headless bear.

Or an armless bear?

Torso-less bear?

Okay, I'm kind of

losing my mind right now.

George, calm down.

Remember how I made a moth

invisible last night?

- Yeah. Well, it flew

into Molly's drink

and now she's invisible.

- Say something.

- Hi, George.

How are you?

Fine. Are you okay, Molly?

I'm good.

This is amazing.

And very scary.

Who stole my bear costume?

Oh, gotta hide!

Molly! Wow, you are

a sight for sore eyes.

- Hey, little guy.

- George.

Of course.

Someone stole my bear costume.

Right out of the bathroom.

Any of you guys seen it?

Um, no. Nope, Coug.

I haven't seen a thing.

But it was so great

talking to you. Awesome city.

Um, I have to leave.

So do you think, in exchange for me being

cool and keeping all this a secret,

you might put in a good word

for me with your friend Nikki?

You like Nikki?!

That's so adorable!

Nikki's a sweetheart.

She likes nice guys.

Just be yourself around her.

Yeah, I find the whole

"being myself" approach

never really works out for me.

Just give her a chance.

She might surprise you.

Molly Eastman?

- Yep, that's me.

- Yeah, I'm Mr. Perkins.

Your sister's

in my science class.

Oh. Well, I have

heard a lot about you.

Uh, can I talk to you

for a minute?

Sure.

Yeah, uh, listen, I know your

sister stayed home sick today.

Yeah, she's really,

really sick, Mr. Perkins.

- She has to stay home.

- Yeah. The, uh, thing is,

I went all angry teacher

on her yesterday

and I told her, well,

she'd fail my class

if she didn't deliver

on her science project.

I just want to make sure

that she's okay.

That the science project isn't

the reason she's staying home.

She's okay. Yeah.

She is actually doing a lot more

than you expected.

A lot more.

I'm pretty sure she's gonna

blow you mind.

Okay, that is great to hear.

See, I knew she had it in her.

- Thanks.

- Your sister is one of the brightest kids

that's ever sat in my class. She's

got this potential inside her.

You know, I think she could do great

things in this world if she wanted to.

If she would just get out

of her own way.

Yeah.

Um, if she were here,

she would want me

to tell you that.

She really doesn't want

to disappoint you.

Well, tell her to feel better.

It was good talking to you.

Come on.

Yes!

Cleo, shouldn't I have at least

started turning visible by now?

Yes.

Which is exactly why

we need to go home

so we can figure

this whole thing out.

Wait.

We're not going home now.

But school's over.

And the most important

part of the day is starting.

- Which is?

- Lacrosse.

Making me visible

is gonna have to wait.

I...

All right, everyone.

Five minutes until game time.

Don't forget to buy your

Go Fighting Owls T-shirts.

I think I'm gonna

sit this one out.

- Yeah! I don't think so.

- Molly, I cannot do this.

I am going to get creamed

out there.

You'll be fine.

That's easy for you to say.

What? You think

this is easy for me?

I'm terrified every game.

I can hardly sleep

the night before.

I have to drink ginger fizz just

to untie the knots in my stomach.

Well, then why do you do it?

Well...

I like being on a team.

When everyone's around me, my

nerves settle. And I don't feel alone.

It's like, when I'm a part of

something bigger than myself,

- it makes me better.

- Hmm.

Hey. You can do this.

I'll be there with you,

telling you exactly what to do.

You ready to rumble, Molls?

We've gotta rock it, today.

Uh, yeah, rock it!

Totally.

Okay, bring it in! Bring it in!

Bring it in, ladies!

All right, everyone.

Go Fighting Owls!

Okay, high school sports fans.

It's the moment

you've all been waiting for.

It's game time!

Owls!

Owls! Owls! Owls!

Your stick's upside down.

Duly noted.

Molly, move up!

You're running the wrong way!

- Come on, come on, come on!

- Come on!

Yes!

Wow, slow and painful start

for the Fighting Owls.

- Let's see if they can recover.

- It's okay, it's okay.

Should somebody

call an ambulance?

You okay?

That hurt more than anything

in my entire life has ever hurt.

- All right, come on. Get up.

- Sure, just let me try and start breathing first.

Molly, what's wrong with you? It's

like you've never held a stick before!

Uh, it must just be my cold.

Hey, listen to me.

This is my whole life, here.

Those college scouts are

my future. I can't lose today.

I've got an idea.

You got this, guys!

And the

visitors win another draw.

- Great attack by the... wind?

- Go! Come on, come on!

- Power forward Molly Eastman.

- Whoo!

We're seeing some of her trademark

wizardry out there with that ball.

Pass it!

Just like that,

Owls are right back

in this one, folks!

- Yeah!

- Way to go, Molly!

The Fighting Owls

have really picked up steam.

Come on, Molly!

They've got the visitors

totally off-balance.

Literally.

Go! Go!

- Yeah!

- Whoo!

This has been a very

strong push by the visitors.

They've clearly got

their sea legs back.

- Wh...

- Come on! Come on!

We're all tied up! Time out!

Refreshment?

Thanks.

You know, there's some really

complicated physics in lacrosse.

I'm available for a one-on-one

consultation anytime.

What makes this drink so blue?

Huh, you got me there.

How you doing?

I can't play.

I just can't.

I can't even feel my legs.

Please, Cleo, this is it...

All or nothing.

See over there?

This is my future, Cleo.

I need this.

All right, guys,

everybody bring it in.

Uh, good luck.

Thanks, thanks.

Okay, bye.

Okay, guys, I know

you are exhausted.

I'm exhausted and in pain.

A lot of pain.

And I mean a lot of pain.

But there is this thing

I always say,

which is when you're part

of something

bigger than yourself,

it makes you better.

That's what a team means.

So let's get out there and

have each others' backs, okay?

Yeah!

You guys, we can do this.

- Right?

- Yeah!

All right, all in.

- One, two, three...

- Owls!

Nice job.

I don't know how

you do this every week.

What an absolute classic.

We're all tied up,

30 seconds left.

Time for one more play.

Owls! Owls! Owls...

What a pass by the Owls!

I can't get to the goal, Cleo.

It's all you, you got this.

Go, Molly!

Molly! Molly! Molly...

Molly Eastman is now

one on one with the keeper.

Goal!

- Molly Eastwood scores!
