That night at the castle, Lori's furious shouts can be heard throughout the hallway. Marshall can hear Lori snapping at the twins from outside the throne room.
Lori: I thought I told you NO dueling!
Lana: Well you didn't have to get all technical about it...
Lola: Lana!
Lori: How do you expect me to trust you if you keep breaking the rules?!
Lana: It was no big deal.
Lori: To you, and that's all you care about! If you break another rule I will LITERALLY turn you two into human pretzels!
Lola: I had nothing to do with this.
Lana/Lori: Stay out of this!
Lola silently lowers in her chair.
Lana: (outraged) Mum and Dad would hear me out!
Lori: Mum and Dad aren't here!
Lola: She got you there.
Lori gives Lola a withering look. Lola silently lowers in her chair.
Lola: (nervously) So you prefer if we didn't duel at all?
Lori: Without a doubt. Go to your rooms! I don't want to hear a peep from you two until morning.
Lori storms out still fuming. As she walks past Marshall, she angrily groans. The twins turn to face their friend.
Lola: You weren't much help.
Marshall: Do you want out of the hole? First you gotta put down the shovel.
Lana: (scoffs) Well, that went poorly.
Marshall: I'll try to reason with her. You two stay here.
Lori: Don't bother Marshall. Just make sure they get there. I have their mess to clean up.
Lana throws her deck at Lori. But before it hits her Marshall catches it.
Marshall: Real mature Lana!
Lana: I've HAD it! Come on Hops!
Lana runs off in a huff to her room, Hops right behind her. A scream of anger is heard from her room.
Lola: And she said I have a temper.
Lori sighs and sits down next to Lola.
Lori: Sorry Lola. But Lana can be SO annoying!
Lola: And she says I was a monster when I was mad! Well she was something else. So we're cool right?
Lori: We're okay Lola. It's Lana I'm concerned about.
Marshall: She's just trying out a new deck. You were the same when you got your deck.
Lori: True. But I learned how to use it.
Marshall: Yeah, but before you did, you had to practice with it.
Outside the room, Lana listens in envy. Hops is by her side.
Lana: (thinking angrily) That's right! That's all I am. A SIDEKICK! Not a main hero. I'll never be as good as Marshall or Lincoln! I can't even win a single match.
Hops croaks as if reading his friends thoughts. Lana smiles at her froggy pal.
Lana: Thanks Hops. I know you got my back pal.
Lana strokes Hops on the head. Just then the Supreme King appears behind Lana.
Lana: What the-?
Supreme King: If you want a REAL challenge, then try to defeat me!
