Welcome back y’all! Today we have a SparkyVision broadcasting special!!

SPARKYVISION EPISODE THREE 

(Camera opens to shiny pink surface)

Sparky, offscreen: Bubbles… you have to back up.

Bubbles: Oh, right!

(Bubbles flies backwards at full speed, takes out the white backdrop, and SLAMS into the wall)

Sparky: ****

Bubbles: DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME!

Sparky: Cobalt, are you filming right now?

Cobalt: Duh.

Sparky: Cut it!

(CUT)

 
(Camera opens again. Sparky hovers in front of the camera. Bubbles orbits him at unsafe speeds.)

Sparky: Hello my fans. Welcome back to another show on SparkyVision. Today I am joined by our cohost, Bubbles–

Bubbles: THAT’S ME!

Sparky (continuing like nothing happened): –who I allowed to cohost on the condition her fail was featured.

Bubbles: It was a win-win! Double fame!

Cobalt: Today we have the top 3 Academy fails this week…

Bubbles: #3–STARRING ME!

Sparky: …yes, Bubbles.

 
#3 – THE OATMEAL INCIDENT
(SCENE: cafeteria, behind the counter)

Bubbles hovering over the oat pot

Bubbles: I’M GONNA DO IT! I’M GONNA!

Jax, offscreen: Can you wait until everyone has their breakfast?

Maya, offscreen: Or not do it at all?

Taiji, behind camera: Maya’s opinion is not taken into consideration.

Cook: THAT’S IT–WHOSE ORB IS THIS?!

Cobalt (running in from left): Sorry! Bubbles, c’mere!

Bubbles: Aww…

Cobalt (whispering): You can after the cook leaves.

(CUT)

(SCENE: oatmeal pot… peaceful… too peaceful)

Bubbles (from offscreen): CANNONBALLLLLL!

(SPLASH. Oatmeal erupts. Students CHEER.)

Taiji: That was worth coming back for.

Bubbles (muffled): COBALT I’M STUCK!

(CUT BACK)

Sparky: That was one of our top academy events this week. Everyone is still talking about it.

Cobalt: And Bubbles still has oats in her speakers.

Bubbles: SO. WORTH. IT.

Sparky: …unfortunately.

 
#2 – THE LOCKER REVOLT
Sparky: Number Two: The Locker Revolt.

Bubbles: OOOOH I LIKE REVOLTS!

(CUT)

 
(SCENE: hallway lined with lockers)

Student #1 opens locker.

Inside: nothing.

Student #1: …okay?

(They close it. Open it again.)

A SINGLE SHOE falls out.

Student #1: That’s not mine.

(Student #2 opens their locker.)

A STACK OF BOOKS shoots out like a cannon.

Student #2: HEY—

(Row of lockers suddenly BURST open one after another. Papers, shoes, random objects FLY everywhere.)

Zara (in background): WHY IS THERE A SPOON IN MINE?!

Jax: I FOUND SOMEONE ELSE’S HOMEWORK!

Fletcher (ducking): WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT?!

Maya (calmly stepping aside as a locker SLAMS open next to her): Someone enchanted them.

(Silence.)

(All lockers SLAM shut at the exact same time.)

(Beat.)

(A single locker creaks open again… and drops a sandwich.)

(CUT)

 
(CUT BACK)

Bubbles: THEY WERE ALIVE!!

Sparky: They were enchanted with misplacement runes.

Cobalt: Someone lost everything.

Sparky: And gained… several sandwiches.

Bubbles: Worth it.

Sparky: No.

Cobalt: Wait, Bubbles, did you cast the enchantment?

Bubbles: What's an enchantment?

Sparky: No, she in fact did not.

 
#1 – THE PRACTICE DUMMY INCIDENT
Sparky: And finally… Number One: The Practice Dummy Incident.

Bubbles: THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE.

(CUT)

 
(SCENE: training grounds. Practice dummies lined up.)

Instructor, offscreen: Strike with control!

Student swings sword.

Misses.

Dummy does not move.

Student: Okay, rude.

(Another student punches a dummy.)

The dummy… punches back.

Student: …what.

(All the dummies suddenly TURN.)

Jax (backing up): OH NO.

Zara: WHY ARE THEY LOOKING AT US—

(Dummy lunges.)

Students SCREAM and scatter.

Fletcher (running): WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING BACK?!

Maya (dodging smoothly): Because someone enchanted them!

Silas (already on a dummy’s shoulders, knocking it over): Obviously.

(One dummy chases a student in circles.)

Another trips over its own feet.

One just… stands there… menacingly.

Instructor (yelling): I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS!

(CUT)

 
(CUT BACK TO STUDIO)

Bubbles: THEY FOUGHT BACK!!

Sparky: They were enchanted to ‘improve realism.’

Cobalt: It worked.

Sparky: …too well.

Bubbles: I wanna try it!

Sparky: No.

 
Sparky: And that concludes this week’s top academy events.

Bubbles: WATCH US AGAIN NEXT WEEK FOR MORE CHAOS!!

Sparky: And questionable decision-making.

Cobalt: Mostly Jax.

Bubbles: HEY I HELPED!

Sparky: That is the problem.

 
(Camera starts tilting)

Cobalt: Wait—don’t—

(Bubbles zooms past, knocking into it)

Bubbles: BYEEEE!!!

(Camera crashes)

Cobalt: BUBBLES—
