Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior

Huhh!

Huhh!

Huhh!

Shen.

It is time.

The evil Yan-Lo has awakened and is on his way.

But I wonder if you're committed enough to take on this task.

Forgive me, master.

I am ready.

Very well.

Here.

You will need these.

Where is she?

In the west.

Fair Springs, California.

I will not let you down, master.

It may not be you who lets us down.

Man: Wendy.

Wendy.

Wendy.

What?

Thank you for returning to earth, miss Wu.

Can you identify this mountain range...

In northern china?

Um, is it...

Tell you tomorrow Mr. Medina. Bye.

Wendy, could this class be any more boring?

I know. I feel like drawing eyes on my eyelids

So I can take a nap.

We were so perfect for each other.

Why? Why?

Lisa, get it together.

You're getting tears all over my top.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for letting me borrow it.

You know what's the fastest way to get over a guy?

Both: get a new guy.

Forget it.

My life stinks.

Why can't I have your perfect life, Wen?

You're the most popular girl in school.

Everyone's going to vote for you

For homecoming queen

And your boyfriend's perfect.

No, he's not.

I got us salads, Wen.

Ok. He's a little perfect.

I mean, you don't need it,

But I'm trying to cut my triceps

For short-sleeved shirts. So...you know,

And I got some...

Vote for me.

Hey, guys, want a cookie?

That is so lame.

Yeah. You're right.

My guns already look good.

No. I mean Jessica.

Have a cookie.

Thanks, guys.

Jessica Dawson is running against you for homecoming queen?

I so should have expected this.

Ever since second grade,

Everything I do, she has to do.

Well, this one's mine.

Nobody's going to give her my vote for a stale cookie.

Even your brother?

Boy: you got my vote.

Wendy: Peter, put that down.

My brother--On a diet.

Football jock, you know.

Jessica, you're running for homecoming queen?

Oh, my gosh. That's so awesome.

Well, I probably don't stand a chance against you.

I'm the one who should just drop out.

Ok.

This is going to be so much fun.

Yeah. Good luck.

Thanks.

What is wrong with you, Peter?

Chill out. It's just a cookie.

Spit that out.

That looks like my brother

Doesn't support his sister.

Have a little loyalty here.

Fine.

I hate raisins anyway.

Jessica: hey, Austin.

Hey, little sis.

You might want to check on your loyalty over there.

Want one of my cookies?

Yeah. Sure.

Austin. Spit that out.

Mom, this is important.

Don't you remember?

I do my report on Florida,

Then she has to do hers on texas

Just because it's bigger.

And in fourth grade,

When I broke my arm and everyone signed my cast,

Jessica had everyone sign her leg and it wasn't even broken.

Wendy, what do you want me to do?

I'm at work here and I have an exhibit opening in two weeks.

But mom, this is supposed to be my homecoming

And she's going to take it away from me

If I don't come up with a way to get more votes.

Oops!

Look, honey.

I understand how important this is to you,

But the museum director's counting on me

To put together this exhibit of ancient chinese artifacts

And I'm getting stressed out

Because I don't know the history behind any of them.

I used to think my mother's stories

About the buddhist legends were so silly.

I should have listened to her more.

Mom, what am I going to do about Jessica?

You know what you're going to do?

You're going to forget about homecoming for a minute

And remember that there are some things more important in life.

Like what?

Like maybe your responsibilities at home.

When is the last time you did some laundry or cleaned your room?

Or fed your dog.

Good thing your brother's such a messy eater

Or poor cupcake would have starved.

Cupcake.

Yeah.

"Vote for Wendy" cupcakes.

Way better than Jessica's cookies.

Thanks, mom.

Ooh!

Sorry.

Bye.

Daddy, you have the mixer on too high.

Well, honey.

I'm an ad agency director, not a baker.

How about I come up with a nice catchy slogan for you instead?

Like what?

Like, um...how about,

"Wendy who? Wendy Wu for homecoming queen!"

Huh?

They really pay you for that?

Grandma, I'm not gonna put chinese on my cupcakes.

No, no, no.

I was telling the widow the doctor was really her son.

Why don't you watch american soap operas so that we can all understand?

I do. Spanish ones.

Hi. I'm home.

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, my. What happened here?

Homecoming queen did it.

I'm not cleaning up.

Ma?

I really need your help with this chinese stuff

The director dumped on me.

Did a lot of the research,

But I feel like I'm missing some of the folklore and legends.

I told you the stories.

I know you did, ma,

But I was too little to appreciate them.

Anyway, it's not like I missed

Having that chinese culture in my life.

Just because you don't miss it doesn't mean it isn't missing.

Thanks.

It must be for this chinese thing they're doing here.

See ya

Bye.

[Dog barking in background]

I can't believe I finally finished.

You're welcome.

Thanks, daddy.

When I win, I'll mention you in my acceptance speech.

Ok. Goodnight.

Make sure you clean up.

Wait. You're not going to help me...

Goodnight.

Grandma?

Forget it. Your mess. You clean.

May I help you?

Hello?

Oh, sorry.

It's just that you look so...

Different.

You know me?

Yes.

You're Miaozhen.

Woman warrior born in the wei dynasty.

Sworn to defeat evil.

It is your time, Miaozhen.

Right.

It is time. Goodbye.

Don't be frightened.

I'm a buddhist monk from Gingi mountain temple.

Wait. How did you...

You were just...

Haaaah!

Oh!

Ah!

Oh! Uh! Ah!

Uh!
