1. EXT. ESPOIR ACADEMY - SMALL ARENA 1 - DAY

Nicolas is fighting against Daria. The class is watching them fight.

ELIANA: Kick her butt, Nicolas!
ADELINE: Make the team proud, Daria!
MAZE: Yeah!
HAYDEN: I can't believe you guys don't mind her anymore. So much has changed these last few days.
ASHLYNN: Yeah... Well, I wouldn't say we like her... But I think she has calmed down a bit.
MAZE: I'd say I like her.
ELIANA: I'm so glad you two are getting on again!
ASHLYNN: Yeah... It's pretty great.
VAIANA: Thank you, Maze.
MAZE: For what?
VAIANA: For how well the twins are getting on again.
MAZE: Yeah... Thing is... I feel like I still don't really know Ashlynn. I mean, I know all about her relationship with Hayden but not the little things...
VAIANA: Well, spend more time with her then!
MAZE: I will.

The battle ends, Daria has won.

DARIA: In future, try to fight with a sword, not play with one.

Daria walks off. Nicolas watches her go and stands up.

2. INT. ESPOIR ACADEMY - HALL - DAY

Eliana hugs Nicolas.

ELIANA: You did so well!
NICOLAS: Did I? I lost.
ELIANA: You were amazing! The sword suits you so well.
AMBER: Keep in mind, Daria's been fighting with a sword for who know's how long and you only just got yours.
NICOLAS: Yeah...

Prof. Walson walks past.

PROF. WALSON: Good job, Nicolas. You're making great progress with the sword.
NICOLAS: Thank you, professor Walson.

Prof. Walson walks away.

AMBER: See?
NICOLAS: Yeah... I guess so...

Alexander starts to head over to Adeline, who's with Daria and immediately grabs her arm.

ADELINE: Daria, let's go. Lunch'll be served soon.
DARIA: Sure...

Alexander watches them go and sighs. Amber walks up to him.

AMBER: Are you okay...?
ALEXANDER: I'm fine.

3. INT. ESPOIR ACADEMY - CAFETERIA - DAY

Adeline, Vaiana, Ashlynn, Maze and Daria are sat at the table.

MAZE: You did great today.
DARIA: Thanks for that but I already know.
MAZE: Wow, that modesty...
DARIA: Generally, when I win, I've done well.
MAZE: Okay, fair point.
VAIANA: So... How are things with Hayden?
ASHLYNN: You say that like we're a couple.

Vaiana blushes.

VAIANA: I didn't mean that. Just, it's nice to see you and your sister-
ADELINE: Oh, shoot!
VAIANA: What?
ADELINE: I keep forgetting to call my sister and of course she won't send me any reminders because she assumes that if I'm not phoning, I must be busy.
DARIA (sarcastically): And the best sister of year award goes to Adeline.
ADELINE: Thanks for that. It really helped.
DARIA: I'm glad.

Prof. Vine walks up to them.

PROF. VINE: Hello, team 11.
ASHLYNN: Good day, professor Vine.
PROF. VINE: Back in the lesson I forgot to mention homework. It's an essay about your experiences as and with guardians.
VAIANA: I have a question, professor.
PROF. VINE: Yes, Miss Evergreen?
VAIANA: Do our teammates count as guardians?
PROF. VINE: Hm... Yes, I say they do.
VAIANA: Thank you, professor.
