Our Tiger Friend

Part 3

(It starts with Bella getting on her roller skating gear, when Judy comes up)

Judy: Hi, Bella! Whatcha doing?

Bella: Oh, hey Judy! I was just getting ready go over to the garden to practice my roller skating.

Judy: Oh, cool! I like watching you roller skate.

Bella: Thanks, you wanna come with me?

Judy: (thinks for a minute, then gets an idea) Uh, actually, I have a better idea! Hang on, Bella! I'll be right back!

(Judy runs away. Bella just shrugs.)

A FEW MINUTES LATER

(Bella is sitting and waiting, when suddenly she sees something.)

Bella: Whoa!

(It reveals to be Miss Elaina)

Bella: (Weirded out) Uh... who are you?

Miss Elaina: Hiya toots, it's me, Miss Elaina!

Bella: Yeah... you are.

Miss Elaina: And you must be Bella.

Bella: Wha-? How do you know my name?!

Miss Elaina: Well, toots, my good friend Judy told me that you were going roller skating. Roller skating is boomeriffic!

Bella: You bet I am! Not to brag, but I'm kinda a pro. (Roller skates around Miss Elaina)

Miss Elaina: Wow! You know, I like roller skating too, but mostly backwards!

Bella: Huh? Really?

Miss Elaina: Yeah, and I was wondering if I could roller skate with you? I'll go backwards, and you the proper way.

Bella: Well ... Sure, OK, Yeah.

Miss Elaina: Boomeriffic!

Bella: Now come on, let's go!

(Bella skates off and Miss Elaina skates after her backwards. On their way, Bella jumps over a sewer entrance.)

Miss Elaina: Oh, that was great! Watch this! (Ducks down under a low hanging branch.)

Bella: Oh, nice! Well, how about this?! (Jumps over a rock)

Miss Elaina: Oh Toots, I think I can do that! (Jumps over the same rock)

Bella: Not bad! Can you do this? (skates down on handrail of some stairs)

Miss Elaina: Uh, no I don't think I can do that. I think I'll just use the ramp. (skates down the ramp backwards, next to the stairs, and stops at the bottom.)

Bella: Okay, that's fine. Gotta know your limits. You have my respect.

(She holds her hand out to fist bump her, and she does so.)

Miss Elaina: Aw, thanks Bella. You know, when I first started roller skating, I wasn't very good at it.

Bella: That's cool, neither was I. I mean, I wasn't good at a lot of things when I was younger, but after some tough training, I eventually got the hang of things.

Miss Elaina: Yeah, my parents, Lady Elaine Fairchilde and Stan the Music Man, always tell me practice makes perfect.

Miss Elaina: That, my friend, is great advice. I mean, look what it did for me. Now come on! We're almost at the park! (Skates off)

Miss Elaina: OK, coming! (skates off after her)

(Cuts to the two arriving at the park, where a lot of other people are.)

Miss Elaina: Oh, wow. There are so many people here!

Bella: Yeah, the parks really full. Come on, I know where the skating section is. (Skates off)

Miss Elaina: OK. (Follows her)

(The two finally get to the skating section of the park.)

Bella: OK, Miss E, watch this!

(She skates down the lower section and does a flip)

Miss Elaina: Wow, that was amazing! I'll give it a go! (rolls down the ramp and does a spin)

Bella: Dang! You got sick moves, Miss Elaina!

Miss Elaina: Thanks! I didn't even know I could that!

Bella: Come on, let's do some more tricks!

Miss Elaina: OK!

(Bella and Miss Elaina start skating around the park and doing cool tricks, cuts to a few minutes later when the two are just finishing skating down a ramp. Once they do, they high five. Over somewhere, three other kids are also skating, when one of them skates to other side, and sees Big Bird. The kid stares in confusion.)

Kid #1: (calls out to his friends) Guys, you gotta see this!

(The kids skate over to their friend)

Kid #2: What is it?

Kid #1: Don't look yet, but there's a girl on roller skates backwards here.

(The kids look over and see Miss Elaina, who is indeed on roller skates.)

Kid #2: Oh my god.

Kid #3: Now I've seen everything.

(Just then Miss Elaina skates past the kids, and Bella follows.)

Miss Elaina: Oh, excuse us, toots! Whoa!

Kid #1: OK, guys, let's go to the skatepark down the street. I'm pretty sure that park is a little more normal.

(The kids skate away.)

Bella: OK, Miss E, let's head home. It's almost lunch time.

Miss Elaina: Boomeriffic! I love lunch! What are we having?

Bella: I don't know. Whatever's in the mini fridge

BACK AT OAKDALE PLAYGROUP

(Bella is digging through the mini fridge in the kitchen, while Miss Elaina watches.)

Bella: (Pulls out 10 foot long sub) Oh boy! Looks like we got ourselves a sandwich!

Miss Elaina: Oooh, a sandwich! Yummy!

(A few minutes later, Bella and Miss Elaina have split the sandwich)

Miss Elaina: Mmm, this sandwich is really yummy, Toots!

(Just then Doodles walks into the kitchen with his eyes narrowed.)

Doodles: What's going on here?

Bella: Uh-Oh! Run!

Miss Elaina: No, wait, toots! Maybe, I can calm him down! That would be Boomeriffic.

(Doodles is about to divebomb attack the two friends, when he stops and gets an eyeful of what's in front of him.)

Miss Elaina: Hi there, dog! I'm Miss Elaina!

(Doodles, now petrified of this backwards, astronaut and robot-loving black girl, lets out a howl of terror and flies away.)

Miss Elaina: Was it something I said?

(Bella just shrugs)
