A Death-Defying Mission DIXI

Superhero bus!

-Ooh-ya!

-Ya-ya-ya!

The Amazing Billie can save you!

Welcome to a new year

at Drew Fletcher Academy.

And a new year means new faces.

Like my friend Amani, aka Warrior Princess.

Fitness fanatic Amani transferred to Drew Fletcher earlier this

term, but it's like she has been here torturing us for ever.

Today's tip -

transform any environment into your own personal gym.

Keep fit. Keep healthy.

-This is torture.

-Use it!

And that is Bubs, aka

Sloth Boy.

Hurry up.

Bubs is into loads of great stuff like anime and comics

but don't go thinking he's cool.

-Cos he's really not.

-Wait.

Where am I?

You cut me out of this picture and replaced me with a drawing?

Yeah, sorry about that, Bubs. Not sure how to tell you this,

but you literally have the world's worst photo face.

You either have your eyes closed or are making some really weird

expression in every single one.

That's because you keep taking them when I wasn't ready.

-Take another one now.

-Fine.

Nailed it, Bubs.

Then there's Abi.

Aka The Shooting Star.

Abi is a born performer, and is destined to be world-famous.

I am air.

I am earth. I am death.

Am I real?

I am life.

GIGGLING AND APPLAUSE

-That was brilliant.

-A perfect parody of pretentious actors.

-It was really funny.

-It's not a parody.

It's not meant to be funny.

This is my audition for Astor Rathbone Academy

-Performing Arts course.

-Oh. It's very strong.

That video got her a place at Astor Rathbone.

I will miss her loads, but I'm really happy for her.

And that's it, I think. I feel like I'm missing someone. Oh, yes, me!

I'm Billie, but you can call me The Amazing Billie, cos I am amazing.

Honest. Just asked my sister, Jane.

I have asked my sister to do one of her Just Jane blogs of make-up

tips for me. But really it's just so I can sneak up on her and scare her.

It'll be hilarious.

Boo!

BILLIE SCREAMS

Billie, why are you sneaking up on me?

Why are you a terrifying monster?

I was preparing a Just Jane blog on costume make up for you.

-I thought you would like it.

-It's great. It really worked.

Cos I am actually now dead from fright.

I love drawing comics and making animation.

One of my comics features me,

Amani, Abi and Bubs as a crime-busting super-team.

The League Of Ordinary Heroes.

Attention all students, the following clubs will be

closed indefinitely. It's checkmate chess club.

Final whistle for netball.

And the end for anime club.

-You have got to be joking.

-This is school, Billie, there are no jokes.

But they weren't expecting The Amazing Billie

and she's here to save Drew Fletcher Academy.

I won't let them close our clubs.

Everyone in the school deserves to enjoy the things they love.

I quite liked netball. It was bouncy.

The Amazing Billie has animated superpowers.

Give us your crisps, wingding.

But President Billie will have real powers to make it a school

where everyone is treated fairly.

I promise I will stand up for every single student

at Drew Fletcher.

A vote for me is a vote for all of us.

That's right, I'm running for school president, just like Jane.

Unfortunately, I've got opposition in the shape of Blake.

We all have dreams. My dream is to

make Drew Fletcher Academy awesome again.

I want to build a better future, which is

why I propose a total ban on homework.

Come on, guys, who needs it?

I love this school and I love its canteen. Hey!

I even love all the people in it.

For me, for us, this is home.

Am I right, gang?

I'm always seeking to better myself.

But listen, underneath the policy and pledges,

I'm just a normal guy like you.

I enjoy the simple things like reading a good book.

I care about all of us

and if that means unlimited ice cream at break time,

free helicopter rides to prom, or a school trip to every theme

park in the country, then that, my friends,

is what you'll get.

Ssh!

So remember, if you believe in dreams, vote Blake,

a man of the people.

Together, we'll make Drew Fletcher Academy awesome again.

I'm Blake and I prove this message.

Blake is a bully and a total foot pump.

He made Amani's life a complete misery just cos

she wouldn't go out with him. We can't let him be school president.

I have to win. So, League Of Ordinary Heroes, assemble.

Today on The Adventures of Billie,

-the League Of Ordinary Heroes are on a death-defying mission.

-What?

Death-defying? I don't want to defy death.

I want to go in the complete opposite direction to death.

-I'm building excitement.

-I'm excited.

-Thank you.

Yeah, but no offence, Amani, you think everything is exciting,

-like traffic.

-This is exciting.

We're liberating Boney McBone Face so he can star in my latest film.

That's code for borrowing the biology skeleton for your

-student president campaign, right?

-Exactly.

I'm not the president the school deserves, but I'm the one it needs.

-What?

-I'm Batman. I am.

OK, coast is clear. No-one's in yet.

You go get my boney co-star and I'll set everything up.

-Oh, hi, Celine.

-What are you doing?

-I'm just...

-Never mind, I don't care.

-Ah!

This is Celine. She's, erm...

You'll see.

-You're not using the music room, are you?

-No.

-Because I have it booked, I need to practise for my grade exam.

-No.

-Ssh.

Just want to know about the music room.

Still don't care what you are doing. As you were.

Before you go, can I count on your vote?

I don't know. Can you count at all?

See, that's why everyone should vote for me. Less salty, more sweetie.

Oh, incoming Dixi message.

From a mystery memer.

I do want to win the election, for truth,

justice, and a wide range of club activities.

O-M-D.

It's completely trashed. Papers shredded.

Miss Malik, the music room's locked...

O-M-D.

-That's what I said.

-You too. What have you done?

What a total disaster? Yeah.

I'd like to know who did this to because it wasn't me.

Bubs and Amani, I need you.

Wasabi, we're live at the lockers, but still no sign of Billie.

-We've been waiting for ages.

-Hey, none of that.

-The bell's going to go soon.

-She's not on Dixi or replying to texts.

-The only message I've got is a heart smiley from Alessandro.

-Wow!

A smiley with love hearts. Things must be pretty

serious between you two.

In the meantime, we've kidnapped Napoleon Boneyparts here

-for nothing.

-Hey, have you seen Billie?

Yeah, she's outside Miss Malik's office.

-On the chairs of shame?

-Yeah.

She must've got busted. OK, thanks. Erm, Maria?

It's Emma. We've been in the same history class for two years.

-I-I'm not really into labels.

-Is that your new boyfriend, Amani?

-No.

I've got a real boyfriend and he's got flesh.

Let's ditch Boney before anyone catches us and find Billie.

-What happened? You said we couldn't get in trouble.

-And you didn't.

-I did.

-What are you doing here?

-Someone trashed the office.

-Ripped up everything.

-Oh, my gosh.

-It wasn't me.

I got an anonymous Dixi message telling me to go there.

I was only here to get the music room key. Now Miss Malik

thinks I'm your partner in crime, which is ridiculous. Why would I?

-I don't even like you.

-Yes, I know, you told her that. Many times.

-Get a couple of shots of them, then I'll come in.

-What are you doing?

Campaign broadcast. Speaking out on the important issues.

Our school was rocked this morning by a senseless

act of vandalism by someone who wants to be your president.

-It wasn't me!

-A vote for Billie is a vote for chaos.

A vote for me is a vote for order.

A school where we can all feel safe.

Vote Blake and make Drew Fletcher Academy awesome again.

Good. Got it.

-I'll tag you when I post it.

-You can't put me in your video.

-Can't I?

Let me check. Oh, no, you're wrong. I can.

It's even worse than I thought. Like a tornado burned through there.

If you think because I'm new here I'm going to go easy on you...

It wasn't us. This whole thing is a travesty of justice.

-Look at my phone. I got a message.

-Silencio. I caught you red-handed.

I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.

Everything in there is shredded,

including your exam papers, which means everyone has to resit them.

-No way.

-You two will spend the rest of the week in the Green House.

That's for troubled students. We're not troubled.

-Well, you're in trouble.

-That's not fair. We have rights.

You can't give us a week in the isolation block without

a serious investigation and due process.

Yes, it is serious, so how about

we make it a month in the Green House?

Excuse me, Miss Malik,

but Green House students are also banned from school activities.

-Right?

-Yes, thank you, Blake.

-But I have my grade seven guitar.

And the election! I'm running for president. Against him!

You should have thought of that before you destroyed my office.

Now, the both of you are going to clean it up.

But it was Blake! He set me up!

Bye-bye, Billie. We'll miss you.

Come on, heroes. ,let's go!

# Be your own hero... #

Boom! Pow! Pow-pow-pow-pow-powwwwww.

# Be your own hero

# It's the only way to survive
