Tabitha: Uh. There�s just one tiny eency weency little bit of a catch.

Antonio: What?

Tabitha: She doesn�t know that she�s helping us destroy Hecuba�s daughter. She thinks we are giving her brothers powers to her so that she can win the love of Luis.

Antonio: Oh. Well. Thanks a lot Tabitha! You screwed up once again!

Timmy: She didn�t screw up!

Antonio: Shut your pipe whole! This is between me and the wicked bitch from the north.

Timmy: Don�t yell at Timmy. Carrie agreed to help me with something if she got her powers back, and she will.

Antonio: Did you get it in writing?

Tabitha: No.

(Carrie comes in)

Carrie: (Running out of breath) I have it! (Holding the needle with the red stuff inside it)

Tabitha: That�s great dear! Now you can have your brother�s powers!

Antonio: After she agrees to help us.

Carrie: Help you with what?

Antonio: Unless you want your precious Luis. You�ll help us destroy Hecuba�s daughter.

Carrie: Who is Hecuba?

Antonio: She is an evil witch.
Carrie: Oh. So what�s this bitch�s problem?

Antonio: Hecuba�s daughter is trying to rule the dark side by making babies with innocent men.

Carrie: What a slut!

Antonio: If you asked me, it kind of sounds familiar.

Carrie: Okay. I�ll help you.

Antonio: Sign this! (Holding a contract)

Carrie: (She signs her name) There. Now� what�s this girls name anyway?

Antonio: Kiki.

Carrie: Kiki? I have a friend named Kiki. Um� her last name isn�t Flanagan is it?

Antonio: How�d you ever guess?

Carrie: What? No! My best friend is not an evil witch! And she�s not a slut either!

Tabitha: I knew this wasn�t going to work.

Carrie: Uh-uh. You guys aren�t going to harm my best friend!

Carrie: I�m going to help Kiki. And I�m taking my powers with me!

Antonio: You don�t even know how to work them!

Carrie: I�ll just have to ask Kiki. Won�t I. (She leaves with the needle)

Antonio: Now look what you did Tabitha!

Tabitha: Uh. It�s not my fault! It�s yours!

Antonio: And how is that?

Tabitha: I�m thinking I�m thinking!

Meanwhile at Gwen�s Party

Gwen: Oh my god! It�s 1 minute till 8:00pm, where is Qlinn? Ethan isn�t even here. Maybe he won�t come back till after Noah and Theresa leave.

Ethan: (Coming in) Hi. Gwen.

Gwen: (Her face lightens up) Oh. Ethan! I wasn�t expecting you back so soon.

Ethan: Why? (The doorbell rings) I�ll get it.

Gwen: No! Ethan. Just enjoy the party! I�ll answer the doors.

Ethan: Okay. Just holler if you need me to do anything. I�ll come.

Gwen: All right. (She goes for the door) Maybe Noah and Theresa won�t even show up. I mean� they think I�m bitch anyway. Yeah. They won�t come. (She opens the door to see Noah and Theresa)

Theresa: Hi. Gwen.

(Gwen slams the door)

Ethan: Gwen! Who was that?

Gwen: Uh. The paperboy. Coming to collect the money.

Ethan: Isn�t it a little to later for that?

Gwen: Yeah. Maybe. I guess so. I don�t know. Ethan. Can you go upstairs and make sure the bathroom is clean. I don�t want people to think we are slobs.

Ethan: Okay. (He leaves with a strange look upon his face.)

Gwen: Where is Qlinn! He�s supposed to be helping me keep Theresa and Noah away from Ethan! (The doorbell rings)

(Gwen opens it)

Noah: Why did you slam the door in our faces?

Gwen: Sorry. I thought you were my grandparents. Come on in.

Theresa: Okay. Wow. I like your home.

Gwen: Thanks. I did decorate it.

Theresa: Yeah. I wasn�t talking about the decorations. I meant the atmosphere of the place. It�s a nice cozy home.

Gwen: Okay. Why don�t you guys go get some snacks? (Gwen looks over at the snack table and sees Ethan standing there)

Theresa: Okay. Sure.

Gwen: On second thought. You might want to stay away from the snack food table. I heard there was a cockroach in the fruit salad.

Theresa: What? Gwen, why would there be a cockroach in the fruit salad?

Gwen: Mrs. Barkley from across the street brought it. I�m afraid her house is infested with them. She�s too old to see what she�s cooking. (Shooting out a bogus laugh)

Gwen: Why don�t you guys just sit down? And dinner will be served in about 20 minutes.

Theresa: (Gwen rushes over to Ethan) Something strange is going on here.

Noah: Tell me about it. Gwen is acting really atypical.

Gwen: Ethan. I thought you went to go check the bathroom.

Ethan: (With crackers shoved in his mouth) I did. Some old lady�s in there.

Gwen: Oh jeez! Mrs. Barkley, she probably want even be able to see the door knob. I better go check on her.

Ethan: Okay. I�m going to go sit down.

Gwen: No!!!!

Ethan: What?

Gwen: I need you to do something.

Ethan: What?

Gwen: Go to the store and by a bag of ice.

Ethan: Okay. I�ll be back then.

Gwen: Oh my god! Qlinn! Where on earth are you!

(Gwen rushes upstairs)

(Meanwhile downstairs past the billiard room, in Qlinn�s bedroom)

(Qlinn is still unconscious as he lies on the floor beside his bed)

(Back upstairs)

(Hank Bennett enters the house)

Hank: It�s time to party hardy! (Bringing in 2 cases of beer)

Brad: We are going to have fun to night, man!

Hank: You better believe it.

Brad: You think we�ll get any tonight?

Hank: Oh yeah!

Brad: Ooooh. Look at that fine young thing over there.

Hank: Why don�t you go talk to her man?

Brad: I think I will. Hehehe. (He pops open a can of beer)

Hank: (Turning up the music) Let�s get this party started!

Brad: Hey pretty lady.

Theresa: Oh. Hi.

Brad: So. Uh. Are you here with anyone?

Theresa: No. Just a friend.

Brad: Where is she?

Theresa: Actually, she is a he.

Brad: Oh.

(Upstairs)

(Gwen is in front of the bathroom door)

Gwen: Mrs. Barkley! Why would you lock yourself in the bathroom?

Mrs. Barkley: Why are you yelling at me?

Gwen: I�m not. I just� Mrs. Barkley! This party isn�t going to well right now. And I have other things more important then trying to get you out of the bathroom.

Mrs. Barkley: Well. Fine then. I�ll just have to die in here!

Gwen: Mrs. Barkley! Please don�t get mad. I�ll have Ethan come up and get you out.

Mrs. Barkley: You know. It�s a pigpen in here. Do you ever clean up this place?

Gwen: Ethan will be up soon Mrs. Barkley! I have to go. (Gwen leaves)

(As she goes downstairs she sees someone rutting through her fridge.)

Gwen: Excuse me! But what the hell are you doing in my fridge?

Hank: Gwen! Nice party!

Gwen: Hank! What are you doing here?

Hank: How come you didn�t invite me?

Gwen: Because. I thought maybe you had to work tonight or something.

Hank: No. Not really.

Gwen: Good. Now go home.

Hank: Maybe after we take a rumble in the sheets.

Gwen: No. I have a lot of problems on my hand now, Hank. I promise. Later.

Hank: I don�t know how much my pain my hormones can take, Gwen.

Gwen: Maybe you should go read a book or something. That�ll calm you down. Now. I have to go and make sure that� (Ethan comes in)

Hank: Ethan!

Ethan: Um� do I know you?

Gwen: Uh-oh.

Hank: Ethan! You should know me. I�m your uncle.

Gwen: Oh. Boy.

Ethan: What?

Hank: I thought you were dead, man. Gwen. You didn�t tell me Ethan lived with you.
