Imperfect Harmony DIXI

Today on the Adventures of Billie, the shredder's mask has fallen,

the cat's out of the bag, the rat's got its...cheese.

OK, I'm not really sure where I was going with that,

but basically I'm now convinced it was Selene all along.

I've got to prove it was her, cos school is pretty hostile right now.

I'm still getting major silent treatment from everyone.

Not having my team is like the worst feeling ever.

I've got to win back their trust, prove Selene framed me,

and what better place to get the band back together

than the music room?

I've got to put Selene in the room with someone she'll open up to -

a kindred spirit, who hates me just as much as she does.

Selene practises everyday at this time,

but today I've double booked her and Echo.

I've put one of the mean leaflets here,

and when they see it,

Echo is sure to start talking about how evil I am,

and Selene won't be able to resist joining in.

I'm hoping she'll see tonnes of mean stuff about me,

and give herself away,

because while all that's going on I'll be in the cupboard...filming.

WHISPERING: Here we go.

I booked this room for singing.

Mascara must have clogged your eyesight.

I have a booking every day.

But I have to rehearse my election song, it's important.

So are my grade exams. If I want to join a top orchestra,

I can't afford to miss practice.

Fine, I'll sing anyway.

They haven't seen the flyer, this is a disaster.

SHE PLAYS GUITAR

# Don't want to be what they want me to be

# I'm more than that

# If you've been invisible so much it makes you miserable

# I've been through that. #

I don't believe in compliments, my mum says they inspire laziness,

-but...

-That sort of sounded OK.

It actually so did.

Not that I, like, care or, like...

even want you to, but if you wanted, we could maybe...

Play together for a bit?

I was going to say jam, cos, you know, it sounds cooler.

-Yeah.

-Yes, she's seen the flyer.

Oh, "the singing saddo."

All it took was one little catchphrase,

and everyone thinks I'm a loser again.

Billie ruined my campaign.

I'll show her who the saddo is.

Sorry, I know you guys are close.

Only when we were literally chained together.

Well, take it from me, stay well away.

One minute she's your friend,

the next she's printing lies about you.

-I'm not 100% sure she did this.

-Selene is about to confess.

I was there when she was giving them out.

It doesn't fit her personality type.

Don't get me wrong, she's annoying,

very, the whole superhero obsession, nails on a blackboard,

but having been forced to experience her friendship circle first-hand...

I can't recall a moment when she was actually mean to someone.

She's always nice to everyone.

Including me.

This is a terrible confession.

In conclusion, is she irritating?

Yes, but disloyal?

I don't think so.

Have I made a mistake here?

TAMBOURINE JINGLES

What was that?

Hey!

Not late for the jam, am I?

-Were you spying on us?

-No!

What gave you that outlandish idea?

You were in the cupboard, filming without consent.

Well, yeah...

Wait, you know I'm in here at the same time everyday.

You were spying on me.

OK, so I maybe sort of thought that you could have been the shredder,

but after hearing you, I'm guessing I was wrong.

No, I was wrong for thinking you could never betray someone's trust.

That was a disaster.

Selene and Echo totally busted me and NavyBlueBrightDeer is unliking

all my Dixi posts,

but at least one good thing came from my failed stakeout.

Echo posted this overnight.

Hello, hello!

It's Echo, Echo!

As you may have seen, me and Selene have been jamming,

and it doesn't make me want to stick my head in a bucket,

so we've decided to form our very own band, Vox Pop.

Selene came up with the name.

If someone had told me a few weeks ago me and Selene would be musical

partners in crime, I would have laughed.

Well, smiled awkwardly.

But she really is legit good.

I guess some people are just too cool for mainstream school.

Anyway, together we are finding our voice, so watch this space.

Or listen to it anyway.

Never mind, you know what I mean.

Don't look at me.

Good for them, but I'm back to square one.

You're right, AmazingExoxo,

all of this arguing is only helping the shredder.

I can't fix this on my own.

I need...

-Bubs!

-Hey.

-Bubs, wait.

What do you want, Billie?

Don't you have a Blake campaign meeting to get to?

Maybe when you're done shutting down the anime club you could

close an orphanage or punch a kitten.

I would never do anything to hurt orphan kittens!

Look, just give me two minutes, I can explain everything.

I'll give you one minute.

OK, look, I know that I messed up, but... Are you timing this?

Yeah, I said one minute, and you better start talking.

You've only got 45 seconds left.

OK, look, I'm sorry that I joined Blake's campaign,

but I only did it because I thought Echo was Alessandro, The Shredder,

Deleter, Eraser, but then someone switched the leaflets and attacked Echo, and so it couldn't have been

her, but it made it look like I did it, and so everyone hated me,

and then I got a message on Dixi from a girl who used to

be in the year above Jane, and she got me thinking about how this started.

So then I suspected Selene and tried to spy on her, but she was actually

really nice about me. But then she caught me secretly trying to film

and now she hates me too and I'm back to square one.

Yeah, I know all that. I saw the vlogs you posted yesterday.

Then why did you make me tell you everything in a minute?

I wanted to see if you could do it, and you did all right,

-you've still got about ten seconds left.

-So we're cool?

Yeah.

Well, I am, you're a massive nerd.

-I hate you too.

-And, look, I've been thinking,

maybe Selene knew you were hiding in the music room.

You're no Nightcrawler when it comes to stealth.

Maybe she said all that nice stuff just to throw you off.

OMD. I never even thought of that.

But how do we prove it? She's double,

triple suspicious of me know.

We talk to the one person in the school who gets her, but we've got

to go in hard, use the element of surprise, and catch them off guard.

Computer science students only.

Drop it, Django. We need to talk about Selene.

Why? What have you heard?

Plenty. We know everything, OK?

I better go see her now, then, before this spreads any further.

Well, that was easier than I expected.

What are you all doing here?

Are you still spying on me?

No, today we're going to find out the truth.

-Django...

-The truth is...

# I was never into relationships

# I never miss them

# But now you've been downloaded into my operating system

# I can't release you from my rom

# Selene, please be my date to prom. #

I accept. Pick me up at seven on the night,

-no flowers, because of my allergies.

-Confirmed.

-I'll message your prom itinerary.

-That's it?!

I thought you were going to prove that Selene's the big

-whatever who's behind everything?

-No, where did you get that from?

Oh, so now you're just making up wild accusations about me.

MESSAGE ALERT Wait, new message from Alessandro.

What does that mean?

It's my guitar.

Alessandro's kidnapped it.

Poor Selene.

She really loves that guitar.

Maybe more than anything else in the whole world.

I really hope she gets it back, too, Purple Fairy.

In fact, I'm going to make sure she does.

Konichiwa. Everyone's looking for Selene's guitar,

but what happened this morning made me realise

there's something I need to do first.

Wish me luck. Gracias.

-Found your guitar yet?

-Yes, that's why I'm still searching everywhere.

I can tell from your sarcasm that you're still looking.

I'll help you as soon as I've talked to Billie.

Selene, Pascal has established a perimeter.

-If your guitar's in the school, we'll find it.

-We have to.

I have a very strong emotional bond with it.

I've also pinged you an interactive map,

-so we can tell which areas have already been searched.

-Not bad.

A bit clunky, but it's great, thank you.

Django, do you know where Billie is?

Yes, she's in quadrant five.

-Brilliant, very helpful.

-Do you know where quadrant three is?

I'm supposed to be searching there, but I can't remember if Django said

-that's the gym or the cafeteria.

-I don't know.

Amani, can I ask your advice?

If someone was going to ask you out...?

Oh, no, I am completely done with boys - real or imaginary.

-You.

-Alessandro!

That name again. That's what your friend called me.

My name's not Alessandro, it's Shak.

We met at Astor Rathbone. Shak, Amani. Amani, Shak.

I just found out you created a fake Dixi profile of me

-that's been going around trolling people.

-I...

I mean, what did I ever do to you? I don't even know you.

Take that profile down and leave me alone.

I'm sorry, I never meant to...

SHE GASPS

-Billie, wait!

-I can't stop now, Bubs.

My only hope of anyone talking to me ever again

-is finding Selene's guitar.

-I'm talking to you.

-Two minutes.

-"I'll give you one minute."

Hey, none of that.

I just wanted to ask you...

Billie, been looking for you everywhere.

Why, so you can fire me from your campaign again?

I'm so sorry about that.

Victor said someone switched the leaflets.

I should never have accused you without proof.

-No, you shouldn't have.

-Let me make it up to you.

You know, I really respect how you fight for what you believe in.

-I know we don't agree on everything, but...

-Anything.

..but that's no reason why we can't be friends.

We just need to get to know each other better.

Starting with...

-..prom.

-What?

It would be my happiness and my honour if you would be my date.

A prom-vitation?

-Is this a joke?

-I've never been more serious.

Don't answer now.

I know I've got a way to go before you'll trust me.

Please just think about it.

OK, I'll think about it.

Thanks, that's all I ask.

Well, that's new.

I'll deal with this later.

Right now, back to the guitar search!

Oh, what was it you wanted to ask me?

-Nothing.

-OK.

Doesn't matter.

Worried about not getting a date to prom?

Not blessed with movie star good looks like me?

Then why not offer an extravagant gift voucher like swimming with

dolphins or a studio recording session?

When the date's done, just say the gift voucher got lost in the post.

Simple.
