The Other Kingdom

Hey, meatball!

Actually, it's salami.

I know.

I was talking about you.

This is amazing!

Have you tried this?!

Sadly... no.

Brendoni!

Ugh.

Here comes the wet blanket from the No-Fun Club.

Brendoni, you can't stay here.

You're going to ruin everything.

Just like you ruined my last birthday party.

Fourteen years old, fourteen skunks.

It was thoughtful!

Hold up.

Back up.

Stay where?

With us?

In my house?!

Believe me, I don't want to stay.

But until your parents are fooled into thinking

I care about these meatsack Others, we're both stuck, cuz.

Cousin?

This is your cousin?

I've only read the student exchange program handbook twice,

but I don't remember anything about uninvited guests.

Let me check again.

It's a long story.

I need to find Morgan.

Brendoni, stay right here.

Fat chance, cuz.

I gotta take this new vibe for a test-drive.

See you duds in the mud.

I'm outtie.

No.

No.

No way.

You need to stay right here, and we need to...

Devon, go after Brendoni

and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble.

Not a chance.

He stole my sandwich.

I'll get you another one.

And a drink!

Morgan, believe me, with Brendoni,

anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

He's a troll.

Is he cute?

Trust me, he's not your type.

He's not anyone's type.

Astral!

You and I need to have a little tete-a-tete.

That's French for intense conversation.

She's smiling.

This is gonna hurt.

Hailey, we're late for class.

Oh, I think you can make some time to look upon your demise.

We have a witch amongst us.

Explain this.

Here's flying proof.

Aha!

Speechless.

I was too when I first saw that you're a witch.

Double double.

You're in trouble.

A witch?!

That's crazy.

Witches don't wear paisley.

I mean, I'm not a witch.

Not according to Magicpedia.

"Witches exhibit paranormal powers

which include flying with broomsticks..."

Well, I'm sure there are other ways to fly.

This is nuts.

Hailey, listen to yourself.

Deny all you want, but if you don't tell Principal Williams

you're pulling the fairy theme from consideration

and back off Tristan,

who will be my date at the Beach Party Dance,

this will not be pretty.

I still will be.

But this will not.

So what's it going to be?

Ladies?

Art class is starting.

Get ready to free your mind and unleash your creativity!

Right now.

Chop chop.

Do what you have to do, but we're not withdrawing anything.

Alright then, you're in for a world of pain.

Byeeee!

Don't you listen to me?

If anyone finds out you're a fairy, they will lock you up...

I know.

I know... take me away, put needles in me,

cut me up to see what makes me a fairy.

I get it.

And Hailey won't rest until she takes you down.

Aunt Maddie, I warned you.

I warned you about Astral!

She's dangerous.

We've gotta get rid of her.

Hailey, how many times have I told you

about charging into my office?

Hundreds, but this is important.

You'll want to sit down.

Well, if you were standing, you'd want to sit down.

Either way, prepare yourself.

Hailey, is this about the presentations...

I told you about Astral and you said I had a vivid imagination?

Well, I don't have an imagination.

This happened!

Hailey, any third grader with a computer

and a special effects program could make one of these.

But it's not special effects, it's real!

Worry less about what other people are doing

and more about yourself.

Like how you still have an incomplete

in Family Studies you have to make up.

I can't believe you'd bring that up.

You cause one tiny explosion and they never let you forget it.

Young Other,

Are you not hungry?

Pardon me, I don't mean to complain about food,

but do you have something more... substantial?

I do hope you're saving room for dessert.

Sugar pine cones, mmmm.

I'd much rather sample some American cuisine.

How about some Philly cheese steak?

Or some chili cheese fries?

How about some cheesy Tex-Mex nachos?

We eat what the Earth gives us.

And today it gives us dandelions, radishes,

and tasty pine cones.

Num num num num num num num!

Hang on, those look good!

No.

Never eat the Brindlebox Berries.

We call them The Killer B's.

Now enjoy your meal.

I have to go settle an elf dispute.

They're still mad about not having their own Realm.

Pesky.

Our Queen.

So funny.

She just wants all the berries to herself.

The Killer B's?

That's just an old nymphs' tale.

Have you seen anything here that would actually hurt you?

Yes.

I was almost eaten by a giant.

I was swallowed by a troll.

A plant devoured me, then spat me out.

Everything here tries to eat me!

Minor mishaps.

Minor?!

Here, I'll let you in on a secret.

Those berries are pure ambrosia.

They'll fill your stomach and delight your taste buds.

And no one will miss a berry off that tree.

Now, off to the Elf council.

Never bring attention to yourself.

Just stay under the radar.

Don't fly too close to the sun.

Have you ever heard of Icarus?

I'll send you a link.

Just blend in.

Yeah, yeah.

Not my jam.

Unleash the Beast!!

Sorry.

Where he's from they don't have personal space.

Always wondered what was so cool about these.

Hello?

I can't wait to see you on Friday!

Uh... yeah.

That's not going to happen!

Fine, I didn't really want to go out with you anyway!

Sorry.

Plenty of other fish in the sea, right?

Something smells good.

Mmmm.

How many stomachs does this kid have?

Hey!

Wait up!

Make her fall asleep for like, one hundred years.

Or just until after prom.

I can't do that.

Only pixies do that.

Then they eat you.

Eww.

We should do what Hailey said

and let her have her beach dance.

Uh-oh.

Oh no.

Not another uh-oh.

It's too late.

Hailey sent a blast out to the whole school.

I warned you.
