Don't see why the lady-in-waiting

has to help set up for this thing.

Dumb science expo's for dorks, anyway.



Who's ready for the expo?

Hey, Cassie! Hey, you wanna
see my new invention?

Rumor has it it is a shoo-in
for the first prize

in the contest.

I started the rumor.

Oh. Hey, Varian.

First off, it's Cass, not Cassie.

Secondly, I'm slammed, so...

Oh, yeah, I... I hear ya.

Hey, so did I tell you that my invention

can create an entirely
new element? I call it...

Cassandra, I thought you should know,

the Captain is short on guards
for the expo.

This could be your big chance!



Come on, let's go!

Cassandra! Lookin' good!

You should see some of the
inventions on display!

Look at these crazy goggles!

Oh. Hi, Varian!

I haven't seen you since we...

Since your last invention
almost killed us.

So glad you're here.

With what looks like another invention.

Please, I wouldn't miss a chance

to promote the merits of alchemy.

And wait until you see my invention.

I think, uh, everyone at the
expo will be impressed.

Cassandra's gonna be here, right?

Not that I'm doing this for Cassandra!

But, yes, she's gonna be there, right?

No, no, no! We'll need men here!

We'll put guards here, and...

Does this mean
we're out of real guards, too?

- Um...
- Blasted!

This exposition of science is just
spreading our ranks too thin.

We need more guards!

I'll need the room.

So, you want your first
guard assignment.

We've talked about this, Cassandra. I
just don't know that you're ready.

Dad, I've been training with
the guards since I was six.

I know castle procedures and
protocol better than anyone,

so if there's any other
reason why you feel

I'm not ready besides
me being your daughter,

I'm all ears.

Very well.

- But...
- There's always a but.

Your lady-in-waiting duties come first.

Only after you've finished those, including
setting up for the expo, may you help.

Are we clear?

Crystal.

Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on!

Ooh.

Oh, whoa.

Wow.

Whoa!

That makes flipping flapjacks
look like a piece of cake!

Or should I say pancake?

I wouldn't.

Ladies and gentlemen,
forget everything you know

about spring-loaded stilts!

- Done!
- Uh... Great?

Mmm! Fresh from this goat's body
and into my tummy.

Attention, science lovers!

I am the one and only Fernanda Pizazzo!

Yes. Thank you, thank you.

You may ask yourselves
what revolutionabilly,

stupendimonious invention
lies behind this veil?

You're about to find out
when revered master scientist,

and handsome morsel,
Dr. Alcott St. Croix

arrives to name my entry
into this contest first prize!

This is all so inspiring!

I'm gonna go invent something right now!

Should've seen that comin'!

There you are, Cass-not-Cassie.

We, uh, we didn't finish our
conversation from earlier.

- I did.
- Oh, you!

Seriously, I'm getting ready
for the expo, and I think

you'll be pretty impressed
with my invention, yeah.

The only thing is, when I present
it to Master Dr. St. Croix,

it's gonna take two people
to operate it.

Hey! Wanna be the assistant
for my demonstration?

Assistant? What? Assis... N... No.

Look. No! I can't catch a break today.

Varian, thanks for stopping by,
but I wha...?

The stain. It's gone! But how?

Oh, simple. Grapes are acidic,
by combining the alkalinity

from the flowers' barley grass
with rock salt,

I was able to stop
the stain's adhesion. Alchemy!

So, you've got a knack
for this kind of thing!

- Any chance you'd want to...
- Help you? Yes!

I... I mean, I'd... I'd love to.

Hey! If... If I help you, you can
help me and be my assistant!

- It'll only take a minute!
- Um... deal.

Great! We... We can be,
uh, co-ladies-in-waiting.

Aha!

Let's not put a label on it.

Okay, so for my first invention,

I wanted to start off
with something small and simple.

Uh, can he take his tiny
little claws off my eyes now?

Oh! Yeah! Pascal?

I give you the Hey-Hey!

When I was in the tower, I devised
a way to play catch by myself

using a ball and string.

Now, I believe,
I've perfected that design.

How does it work? Glad you asked.

It's powered by potential
and kinetic energy.

Science.

Hey-Hey!

Hey-Hey!

Huh. Rapunzel, that's really amazing,
but it's already been invented.

Hmm. Okay.

I guess I'll chalk that up to being
locked in a tower for 18 years.

Good thing I have lots more amazing
ideas where that came from.

Huh, look at that.

You make a pretty good
co-lady-in-waiting after all.

Oh, really? You sure you
wanna put a label on it?

Okay, so I could've
been a little nicer earlier.

It's just, today's kind
of a big deal for me.

Oh, you're talking about
getting that guard assignment

from your dad. Aren't you?

No matter how much
I want it or how hard I work,

his standards for me are higher
than they are for anyone else.

Yeah. My dad's...
kind of hard to impress too.

Dads. Am I right? Huh!

Who am I kidding?
None of it matters anyway.

It's already noon and I still have
to make up all the guest rooms.

Hey! I... I have an idea.

I'll finish your chores for you, so
then you can do your guard duty,

and then maybe you can take a
few minutes to be my assistant?

You sure you can get all this done?

Yeah. No problem.

It's the kind of thing
friends do, right?

Right! Friends.

Carrots, celery, cucumbers.

What do these have in common?

Uh, I don't eat them.

No, wait. Don't tell me.

We chop them! But knives
can be really dangerous!

That's why I invented the Safety Slicer!

Just load it up, and...

Slice! Voila!

Ooh! That seems a little extreme, right?

I mean, for produce?

Besides, I think they have
something like that already.

Really? This too?

Oh! How am I supposed to know
everything that's ever been invented?

I don't know, maybe something
a little more practical?

Practical. Okay. Sure.

Automatic laundry cart?

Now that I have not seen.

- Uh, Varian? Ugh!
- Hey, Princess.

What are you doing?

I'm helping Cass with her work
so she can pull guard duty.

But shouldn't you
be setting up your exhibit?

Oh, theoretically, but I am
presenting second to last,

so I figure that'll give me a
few extra minutes to get ready.

Plus, I just have
that one room left right there.

Oh, and that room.
Oh, that... that one, too.

Also... Also that one.

Look, Varian, I know you
really like Cass, but I think...

Don't worry. Cass agreed to be my
assistant during my presentation,

so, ya know, I got
everything under control.

- On to the next room!
- Varian, that is not a room, that's a...

Oh, that's a...

...staircase.

Master Dr. St. Croix, welcome!

It is a pleasure to have you with us!

I imagine it would be.

I assume you are to be my
personal security detail.

Um, unfortunately, no, but I have chosen

my very best man for the job.

Mm-hmm.

Wiped out?

Who? Me? No. Just fainted.

Uh, I mean, fin... I finished. Finished.

Finished? Wow. Varian, I'm impressed.

Oh, it was no big deal.

Now, um, if you'll excuse me,
I have a contest to win.

Assistant?

Remember, you said it would
only take a minute, I'm on duty.

Ow! My back!

I went to get Master St. Croix a
drink and slipped on the floor!

What kind of monster would leave a wet
floor where people could slip on it?

Uh, Stan, what happened?

Oh! My back!

We need someone to replace him

as Master St. Croix's security detail.

Pete! On the double!

On my way! Whoa! Ow! My back!

Why is the floor so slippery?

- Hey, Pete, are you okay...
- Whoa! My back!

Cassandra, are you up for this?

Uh, Cassandra, don't you have

somewhere to be during the judging?

I'll do it.

One of you will walk away

with the greatest prize
in all of sciences:

my approval.

As for the rest of you,

may the universe show mercy...

...on your wretched souls.

Good luck.

You ready? Because a certain
alchemist could use his assistant.

Listen, Varian, I'm really
sorry, but things have changed.

I can't help you anymore.

- I'm St. Croix's personal...
- Hello?

Security detail? I have moved
my person in this direction.

A personal security detail.
Must be a big deal.

Don't worry about me. I am sure
I can find another assistant

in the next five minutes.

Let the judgment begin!

Can it milk a cow?

- No, sir!
- Next!

Okay, Pascal,
we've had some missteps, sure,

but I think this one is the winner.

You've got it in the bag, Blondie.

Showtime!

Next!

Dangerously wet hallways.

Cold, wet clothes.

Wet hair that takes forever,
and I mean, forever, to dry.

All of those things
are yesterday's problems.

Say hello to the Mega Dry!

Assistant?

I'm all about the wet look.

The Mega Dry uses
cutting-edge equine technology

to release a powerful,
focused stream of air.

The result? What used to take
hours to dry, now takes seconds.

Well, hello.

Aah!

Oops.

I think I still had it
calibrated for my hair.

Next.

Behold! The power of alchemy!

Hey, where's the opening?

Aha! Oh-ho!

The power of ag, uh...

of, uh, that guy!

Go. Do the thing.

Oh, yeah!

I give you, the Elemental Remogrifier!

Assistant?

Here we go.

The rotation causes friction,
which heats the sand,

while the counter-centrifigual force
promotes particle compression.

The end result? Fifty pounds
of sand turns into...

this.

I call this new element...

...Cassandrium.

Despite its lack of flair and panache,

I was almost inclined to give your
device a mediocre assessment.

Flair? What does that have to do with...

However,

considering your assistant
nearly lanced my nasal cavity,

I've no choice
but to disqualify you. Next!

Sir, with all due respect, you can't
disqualify him because of his assistant.

You stick to guarding,
I will stick to sciencing.

Got it? Hmm?

Everybody at this expo make some noise!

This is the momensational moment
you've all been waiting for.

But first!

I give you... chocolate!

Now this is science!

Jaws, prepare to drop.
Larynxes, get ready to scream,

and eyeballs, how about
you take a good look around,

because once I unveil
my marveltacular creation,

the world will never look the same!

I give you... the Fantasphere!

How'd she do it?

Oh my gosh!

It's awesome!

But what does it do?

Uh... The real question, kid,
is, what doesn't it do?

Now, here, have some chocolate
and shut up.

Its luster is glorious!

I see no need to continue this contest!

- You should've won.
- It doesn't matter.

The truth is, all I really
wanted to do was impress you.

I thought if I showed you
what I was capable of,

you might see something in me.

Something special.

I was just being dumb.

But you did impress me.

Varian, you're a great kid.

You're smart. You're compassionate.
You're unique.

Thanks, for saying that.

Oh, it looks like St. Croix
liked your invention after all.

Master St. Croix! No!

No! Don't!

You're... You're building
too much pressure!

Back off, boy! I'm a scientist.

Don't!

Somebody do something!

Double disqualified!

You chose me!

Don't flatter yourself, kid.

Now come on, we've got a job to do!

- Oh, this is bad.
- How bad?

Introducing counter-centrifugation
to the magnetism

could result in... well, that!

Its angular momentum is rapidly
approaching critical velocity.

Once that happens, it'll suck up
everything in sight. Us! The castle!

Everything!

Ooh!

- Aah!
- You're welcome.

Okay, so, very bad. How do we stop it?

There's only one way to stop it.

I gotta get close enough
to pull the hand brake!

Where do you think you're going?

You're gonna need an assistant!

Whoa! Cassandra! Help!

I can't get close enough! The
vortex has gotten too strong.

We need an equally powerful
wind source to counteract it!

The Mega Dry!

The Mega Dry can generate
that kind of wind speed

and blow against the vortex!

Yes!

He needs to create a counterpole

to the vortex's critical velocity!

Max, he means you have to run backwards!

It's working!

Hold on, Cass!

Woo-hoo!

- Yeah!
- We did it!

Blondie, hands down,
your best invention yet!

Pardon me, I believe
I've been folded in half.

You! Neck... hurts. Ooh!

Master St. Croix, this still
counts as a win, right?

No take back-sies?

I believe this was meant for you.

And, um, this was meant for you.

Thanks. And, Varian,
about putting my own ambition

in front of our friendship, I'm sorry.

It's... It's okay, Cassandra.

Hey, call me Cassie.

Well, I guess I should
start cleaning this mess up.

Cassandra, you helped prevent what
could've been a disaster for all of us.

Well done.

And I have another assignment for you.

You know what, Dad?

I'm gonna set this aside for now.

I think my friend needs my help.

Well, as Captain of the Guard,
turning down an assignment

doesn't bode well.

But as your dad, I'm proud of you.

Wow, you turned your dad down for me?

I'll find a way to make it up to him.

Besides, it's not every day you
get an element named after you.

I actually got the idea
after discovering a cluster

of these strange,
black rocks by my village.

Black rocks?

It was amazing.

They just kind of sprouted up
a couple weeks ago.

I have never seen anything like it.

Fascinating.

The rocks are demonstrating
an actual physical response.

To you.

Shh! Varian.

I need you to promise to keep
this between you and me, okay?

And them.

- Wh... Why?
- Because my dad has forbidden me

from talking about these rocks
to anyone.

We collectively
are going to figure it out.

But I need to know that I can trust you.

You can count on me.
