(At the party, everyone is getting at odds with each other and arguing, including Tiffany, Joseph and Wilbert who are in different areas of the room arguing with different people.)
Wilbert: [sighs] I'm gonna get more punch!
(He storms off and bumps into Barnacles)
Wilbert: Barnacles?
Barnacles: Hey, Wilbert. Good to see you.
Wilbert: What are you doing here? You came back for the big competition, right?
Barnacles: Something like that.
Wilbert: Huh. Not that there's gonna be any real competition. No one here wants this as bad as my band does!
(Kwazii sees the Dazzlings enter and clicks his fingers quickly.)
Barnacles: Coming, Kwazii! (To Wilbert) See you later.
Wilbert: Just stay away from my childhood friend!
(Barnacles rolls his eyes as he walks to his friends)
(The students’ arguing becomes louder)
Marina: [mock surprise] Oh, no! No one's mingling! It's like there's some kind of underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute!
Lily: (Holding up apple juice) It’s the fruit punch, isn't it? I knew I used too much grape juice!
Marina: (Face palms) It’s not the fruit punch! It's us! And that’s apple juice you idiot!
Olivia: But the punch is awful, too.
Lily: What do you know about good fruit punch?
Olivia: More than you!
Lily: Do not!
Olivia: Do too! Now be quiet!
Marina: This is just the kickoff party, girls. Imagine what a tizzy they'll be in by the time the Battle of the Bands starts.
Barnacles: There isn't going to be a Battle of the Bands! We're gonna make sure of that! (To his friends) Alright, Octonauts, let's do this! (Each of the Octonauts take each others’ hands.)
(Rochelle smiles)
Barnacles: Friendship is magic!
(Awkward silence]
[someone coughs from the crowd]
Kwazii: (hushed and opens one eye) Uh, weren't there rainbows and lasers and stuff last time?
Barnacles: (Hushed) I don't understand. We're all together again. Why isn't this working?
(Pause)
Tunip: (Pops from the backpack, hushed) You, uh... really need to go ahead and do that whole "magic of friendship" thing now.
Barnacles: (hushed) I’m trying, Tunip. I thought the six of us standing together against the sirens would bring out the magic we needed to defeat them. That's what happened before.
Marina: Talk about throwing down the gauntlet! This group is obviously serious about winning! A little cocky though, aren't they? Claiming there won't really be a battle. Seems they think they already got this thing all locked up.
Tiffany: Not if the Great and Powerful Tifffany has anything to do with it!
Wilbert: Whatever, Tiffany! We're the best band at OHS!
Young girl from that morning: No! The Crusaders are gonna win!
(The students argue even louder… except for the Octonauts band, Barnacles and Rochelle.)
Marina: I think we may have found what we're looking for. Or rather, it found us.
(Lily is confused)
Olivia: [slaps herself]
Marina: Magic!! Don't you see?! Everyone else has fallen under our spell.
(The Octonauts slip out of the room)
Marina: But not these students. These students are special.
