Episode 10| Sheep-Shifting

At Davenport Tower in the penthouse, Kaz and Oliver are sitting at a table.

"Okay, the timer is set. Nothing better than pranking new victims on Halloween" Oliver says "This is perfect. Bree just did her hair and Chase has no sense of humor. What could possibly go wrong?" Kaz says.

"They have no idea what's about to hit them" Oliver says, Harper geoleaps alongside Kaz "Boo!" Harper says, Kaz screams and goes to the chair and Oliver screams, Harper laughs.

"happy halloween Noob!" Harper says "it's not fair!" Kaz gets up "yeah you're already scary!" Oliver says "what?" Harper says "adorably scary!" Oliver says "better" Harper smile.

"It's not fair for you to use your abilites to pull a prank!" Kaz says "why not!?" Harper ask "well...because then I can't fight back" Kaz says.

"Poor thing you think you have a chance of scaring me!?" Harper says "Sure!" Kaz says, Harper laughs, "You'll see!" Kaz says.

"The only person who's going to be scared here is you!" Harper says "Nope I don't fall for your tricks anymore!" Kaz says, Harper
raises her eyebrow as she does the lamp next to Kaz pops, Kaz squeals and jumps in fright.

"Oh you're good!" Kaz tells Harper, she smirks,she goes to the kitchen.

Skylar comes down and Oliver goes over to her "Hey, Skylar. I just wanted to remind you about my standing offer for one romantic dinner, and that offer also applies to romantic lunch, breakfast, smoothie and
other selectic beverages" Oliver says "Sure. How about dinner tonight?" Skylar says.

"I get it. You're busy. I totally understand" Oliver says He walks off, but runs back "Wait, did you just say yes?" Oliver says "Yeah, boy, your time has come!" Harper says, Oliver holds out his hand for a quick high five.

"Oliver, you can't do dinner tonight. We have plans. Annual Halloween pranks. We've been doing them together since we were eight. New victims" Kaz says "Oh, I'm so sorry.
I totally forgot that it was Halloween. We can do dinner tomoorrow" Skylar says.

"No. No, no, no. You already said yes. You can't take it back. We're doing this!" Oliver says He Runs to the
kitchen and gathers plates "She said yes. All right, where do I begin?" Oliver says the timer goes
off and pumpkin explodes on him, Everyone looks at him.

"Hey, I still have a date with Skylar. Not even a nose full of pumpkin can change that" Oliver says.

Douglas is at the grocery store near the building, until he sees Melody in one of the hallways with a cart, he approaches.

"Melody!?" Douglas says "oh hi Douglas!" Melody smiles "how nice
to see you here!" Douglas says "likewise" Melody takes a bottle and puts it in the cart.

"So plans for this halloween!?" Douglas asks "uh well... Finn went to spend halloween with some friends,
so I'm going to enjoy it, just me and this pack full of C12H22O11..."Melody laughs to herself looking at a pack of marshmallows, referring to the chemical compound in sugar.

"Oh Sugar! or sucrose if you will" Douglas smile "Exactly!" Melody smiles "great plans!" Douglas says.

"yeah, that's my usual plans, normally I don't get out much" Melody walks the cart, Douglas nods.

"How are the kids!?" Melody asks "Oh they must be in the building playing pranks on each other" Douglas says.

"I was never a big fan of halloween" Melody says "Me too!" Douglas smiles.

They hear one of the employees say that the grocery store is about to close "It was good to see you Douglas" Melody turns around "you too" Douglas goes the other way.

But he stops halfway and thinks, Douglas threatens to turn around, he sighs and turns and goes back to Melody.

"hey Melody" Douglas says "yeah!?"
Melody says "I was thinking...I don't have any plans" Douglas says, Melody looks at him.

"if you want I'll... have dinner in a little while not far from here" Douglas says "are you asking me out to dinner?" Melody says "No, don't misunderstand...it's just because you're alone" Douglas says "calm down I get it" Melody smiles.

"So?" Douglas says "I'm really grateful for the invitation but I need to stay home when Finn comes so" Melody says "oh sure I understand" Douglas
says.

Melody smiles, suddenly all the lights in the market go out, they look around and see no one.

"what happened?" Melody ask "Oh they must have closed the market with us here" Douglas says "What what kind of employees do that!?" Melody says "the kind that don't want
to work on holidays" Douglas says.

"well we better leave then" Melody says "sure" Douglas says he turns around, and he slams his face into a shelf "Owch!" Douglas says putting his hand on his face.

"Oh my God!" Melody tries to go to him but she trips over the cart and falls "are you all right?" Douglas says "yes" Melody says.

"ahg it's too dark in here!" Douglas says "Seriously, I didn't notice" Melody says sarcastically getting up.

Douglas tries to open the door "It's locked" Douglas says "oh great so we're locked!?" Melody says "welcome to another day in my life!"
Douglas says, Melody puts her hand on her forehead.

......................................................................

In Mission Command Chase and Harper are messing around with some chemical materials.

"think it will work?" Harper says "I hope so" Chase says "did you use some of their DNA?" Harper says "no it would be easier that way" Chase says,"Do you want my help with anything else?" Harper says.

Kaz walks in with his head stuck to a table "Hey,You want to help me for a second?" Kaz says "No! Go away!" Harper says.

"Seriously!" Kaz says "Real busy here, Kaz. I don't have time for pranks" Chase says "Oh, this isn't a prank. I'm actually stuck" Kaz says.

"hold on" Chase says "No! Leave him like that, it's better that way" Harper says "you really want a moving table bumping into you all the time?" Kaz says "uhg! Fine!" Harper says,the two go to him and lift the table.

"Yeah. Ow! Just get... Oh, you're going over the head. That makes more sense." Kaz says, they clear the table "Thanks" Kaz says "You're welcome" Harper grabs a handful of popcorn and throws some of it at him.

"Man, I can't prank you guys, I can't
prank Bree. The only ones left are Oliver and Skylar, but they know all my tricks. Halloween is ruined" Kaz says.

"Well, you can stay down here with us" Chase says "us!?" Harper says "Us!" Chase says demanding she doesn't leave "okay, stay with us Kaz" Harper says in a fake sympathetic tone.

"How is your science going?" Kaz ask "Great. I was able to successfully
replicate Roman and Riker's powers into a serum" Chase says.

"Oh, so it's ready?" Kaz ask "ready to test!" Harper says opening rock door "I'm just gonna go dig up some earthworms to try it on. I'll be right back" Chase says "Don't touch anything!" Harper says.

"how old do you think I am!?" Kaz says "not enough" Harper says, Kaz smiles sarcastically, Harper and Chase
leave.

......................................................................

In the grocery store, Douglas observes the door "the door is automatic, it only opens if the generator is turned on" Douglas says "so, let's turn on the generator?" Melody says with a bag
of snacks.

"well yeah...wait How many of these have you had?" Douglas says "I'll pay! But it's not every day you can have snacks all you want" Melody says.

"yeah" Douglas takes some packets and puts them in his pocket, Melody hit his hand "hey?" Douglas says "I didn't mean steal!" Melody says.

"I'm not stealing, I'm borrowing" Douglas says "Borrowing it?" Melody says "yeah, I'll put it back in the trash can that's still inside the grocery store" Douglas says, Melody
shakes her head.


"I'll pay later!" Melody says "I feel sorry for you! You're missing an opportunity" Douglas grabs some jelly beans and puts them in his pockets "to be a criminal? No thanks!" Melody says.

"We need to find the generator room" Douglas says "Here, flashlights!" Melody grabs two flashlights from one of the counters.

"Good idea, I think I know where the generator is" Douglas says "sure" Melody says "follow me" Douglas says "is there another place to go?" Melody says.

Douglas and Melody go to a door that leads to a staircase "How convenient, the two of us going down a dark staircase in the dark on the scariest day of the year" Melody says.

"If we stay silent, you can hear people in the theater screaming "don't go in there you idiots"" Douglas laughs, Melody laughs, Douglas looks surprised by her laughter.

"so I think you should go first" Melody says "I think we should go together I won't risk you leaving me there!" Douglas says, Melody looks at the stairs "it looks like a black hole" Melody says.

"if you prefer we can break the windows and get out through them" Douglas says "this is practically vandalism and destruction of property" Melody Adjusts her glasses.

"are you a physicist or a lawyer?" Douglas says "I'm a law-abiding physicist, Mister Davenport" Melody
says proudly.

"Oh You have nothing to do with your daughter" Douglas laughs "would she go down there?" Melody ask "she would have broken the window an hour ago!" Douglas says.

"Come on, or do you want to stay here all night?" Douglas aks "okay" Melody says.

"Relax you have a man with you" Douglas says smugly "I have? Where?" Melody says sarcastically "on the
other hand the sarcasm is just like your daughter's" Douglas says, Melody gives a light laugh the two start down the stairs.

......................................................................

Chase and Harper go to the terrace and there they find Oliver and Skylar, they were in the middle of the date and for some reason there was a sheep next to them.

"Well, I can see your evening is going as well as expected" Chase smiles.

"Uh let me guess on your planet it's
tradition for the guy to hand a sheep to the lady on the first date as a sign of....something" Harper says "No that's ridiculous, that only happens at a wedding and it's a dragon not a
sheep" Skylar says "yeah because it would only be ridiculous if it was a sheep!" Harper says.

"Has anyone seen Kaz? I'm missing a vial of my shape-shifting serum" Chase says "That's 'cause he drank it. He's right there" Skylar point to the sheep.

"Ahg! I told you not to touch anything you bad sheep! Bad sheep!" Harper says "He changed into a sheep?! No! No, no, no, no, no, no no!" Chase says.

"Why? What's wrong?" Oliver says "The serum is not 100% complete, it was in the testing phase!" Harper says.

"yeah, When Roman and Riker shape-shift supernaturally, they
still think like Roman and Riker, but when Kaz changed into a sheep, he took on the mental capacity of a sheep! And a sheep has a very small mental capacity!" Chase says.

"Less than Kaz? That seems unlikely" Skylar says "Yeah I agree, I think he's more useful that way" Harper
chuckles Chase glares at her.

"Yeah, you're right, I expressed myself badly, he's nicer that way!" Harper smirk "Well, just change him back" Oliver says "I can't. I haven't figured out how to do that yet" Chase says.

"Wait. You mean Kaz could be stuck like this forever?" Skylar says "Well,
no, not forever. Sheep have a very short lifespan" Chase says.

"Why a sheep, among so many animals he chose a sheep!?" Harper says "as mentioned he chose the animal with mental capacity close to his!" Chase says "Fool, I would have chosen a dolphin...or anything else"
Harper smirk.

"Okay, we have to find a way to turn Sheep Kaz back into Kaz" Oliver says "Do we have to right now? He's really cute!" Skylar says.

"I got it! I'll... I'll show him a picture of real Kaz. Maybe that will jog his little sheep memory" Oliver says he shows the cell phone to the sheep.

"Hey, buddy, this is you. No, pay no attention to the sweater. It's not wool, it's, uh... It's... it's polyester" Oliver says "Okay, it's not working. Why won't he turn back?" Oliver says.

"Maybe this is his original form and he's been trapped in an annoying teenager's body all these years!"
Harper laughs "that would explain a lot" Skylar says.

"Let's go down to Mission Command and try to find a way to reverse the serum" Chase says "'Kay" Oliver says "Kaz... stay!" Skylar says "Don't waste your time, if he really is Kaz he won't obey you!" Harper says.

......................................................................

Douglas and Melody go down the stairs, Melody looks distressed.

"I don't understand you were married to Krane and you're afraid of futile things like that!?" Douglas says "I've learned to be more cautious with my choices" Melody says.

"You had a rough patch!?" Douglas says "yeah, but it was just a phase" Melody says "I understand, I had it too" Douglas says "Krane?" Melody
ask "Himself, we were partners in crime until he threatened my family and I regretted it" Douglas says.

"Did he trick you too?" Melody ask Looking down, Douglas nods "How did you escape?" Douglas ask "when I realized it was too late, luckily George...I mean Finn's dad was
there, he worked for Krane too and he helped me escape" Melody says.

"Finn told me about him" Douglas says "Yeah, unfortunately he ended up getting involved with the wrong people when he worked for Krane, and..." Melody says upset "I'm sorry" Douglas says.

"It's okay, I always pick the wrong guys anyway" Melody gives a painful smile, Douglas stops in front of the
generator, Melody leans against the wall.

"I just don't think this love thing is for me" Melody says, Douglas turns to her "So, we are two!" Douglas says, Melody nods her head.

"Well here's our bad boy! Let's open it up and see if it'll help us with anything!" Douglas says picking up a
screwdriver, He opens the generator door and starts fiddling with the wires.

"Wait! isn't it better we leave a note!?" Melody says, Douglas frowns "Why would we do that?" Douglas ask
"uh..it's still trespassing! It's a crime" Melody says, Douglas looks at her confused.

"I think we're good!" Douglas says, Melody rolls her eyes "If the police ask I'll blame it all on you!" Melody
says "lady you talking to a professional" Douglas says "Oh lucky me" Melody says sarcastically.

Douglas turns on the generator and they hear the lights come on "Oh there!, saw Melody!? told you...oh I can't believe you're actually writing a note!" Douglas says.

Melody is leaning a piece of paper on the wall writing she looks at him "if I don't write I'm going to live with the weight on my conscience and it's going to drive me crazy!" Melody says, Douglas rolls his eyes.

"Here it is!" She sticks the paper on the generator ""sorry we broke into the generator we tried to be kind, P.S. I promise to pay for the snacks"...really!?" Douglas reads the note "Did you think that sounded rude!?" Melody says

Douglas tilts his head "this life of crime really is not for you!" Douglas says.

......................................................................

At the Davenport tower, Chase, Harper, Oliver and Skylar exit the HyperLift.

"Okay, this new serum should turn Sheep Kaz back into Kaz-Kaz" Chase says, Perry is in the room "Kaz, you
shapeshifted into Perry!" Oliver says "Oliver, you shapeshifted into an idiot!" Perry says, Chase Laugh.

"Nope, that's all Perry" Chase says "Where's Kaz?" Harper says "What happened to the sheep that was here?" Skylar says.

"Oh, that? Yeah, it was here to kill me, so Bree took it to someplace it'd be appreciated. I'm guessing a slaughterhouse" Perry says "What?!" Skylar saysm

"Why do you think a sheep was here to kill you!?" Harper ask "Are you really that interested to hear the whole story?" Perry ask "You're right I don't!" Harper says.

"Oh, no. I'd better call Bree" Chase says, He calls Bree.

"Okay, Bree's bringing the sheep back here" Chase says "That thing is coming back here? Well, I'm gonna barricade myself in Mission Command. I'll be safe there. No one on my TV show ever died in a high-tech control center. Wait... library, movie theater,
bowling alley. Nope! I'm good!.." Perry says.

"And now she's gone. Win-win" Chase says "Yeah I'm really worried about this woman's mental health tho" Harper says, Bree comes with the
sheep.

"Kaz, there you are. You okay? He... he looks pale to me. Does he look pale to you?" Oliver says "He's a sheep" Skylar says.

"Are you sure we can't keep him this way? I mean, until we can all at least get a nice sweater out of him?" Bree says "This is the third person who has
said this so I think we have to accept that it's unanimous and we're going to leave him like that" Harper says.

Chase gives the serum to the sheep "Okay. There we go. All right, so, if the
serum works, then Sheep Kaz should become... Then Sheep Kaz should become...! Then Sheep Kaz should become...!" Chase says, Nothing happens.

"even he wants to stay like this why are we wasting time!?" Harper says sarcastically "Yay! We might all get sweaters after all! Whoo!" Bree
says.

......................................................................

At the grocery store Douglas and Melody go up the stairs now with light.

"look at the time Finn will be home soon!" Melody says looking at the clock "If you want, I'll accompany you?" Douglas says, the two go to the door.

"You don't have to I'm sure you already have plans and I've messed them up enough" Melody says "No, my plans weren't even that sophisticated" Douglas says.

"What were they?" Melody ask "you know, putting a sheet on a robot and scaring the kids in the street" Douglas laughs "indeed, they weren't sophisticated" Melody says.

She and Douglas start walking down the street "you know, The night didn't go as expected but it turned out to be nice" Melody says "Really!?" Douglas says "Yeah!" Melody smiles, Douglas
smiles.

"I end up spending so much of my time alone in my office and at the observatory that I don't end up spending much time with other people" Melody says "I get it, me too, i'm lucky to have the kids to keep me company because otherwise I would be like that too" Douglas says.

Melody agrees with her hands in her pockets "it was a good halloween, well it was the scariest I've had in years" Melody laughs "Spend time with us and you'll see a lot worse things to deal with" Douglas says "sounds Fun tho" Melody says, they stop.

"Uh...I was thinking..""Douggy!?" Perry interrupts him, she's holding the arm of a mustachioed farmer.

"Perry!? What are you doing here!? And who is this guy!?" Douglas ask "An old friend, and the question is
what are you doing here and who are....this one!" Perry faces Melody who takes a step forward and extends her hand.

"Hi I'm Melody" Melody says "Terry Perry may I know what you do with my man Blondie!?" Perry says.

"uh I'm sorry I didn't know he had a wife.." Melody says "it's because I don't have one, she's just really crazy!" Douglas says "Shhh Douggy honey quiet, the ladies are talking!" Perry says.

Melody looks at Douglas and laughs "sorry I'm just on my way out and I didn't mean to make any mistake on...whatever you guys are" Melody says "no you don't have to.." Douglas says "yes you do!" Perry says.

"Perry, go talk to your old friend!" Douglas pushes her "I really have to go, Finn should be back soon" Melody says "But...""It's about time!" Perry interrupts, Douglas, he glares at her.

"Nice meeting you Terry" Melody says
friendly"It's Perry for you Miss!" Perry says "Sure" Melody says "And it wasn't a pleasure!" Perry says, Melody sighs, and she looks at Douglas.

"that was nice, thanks for getting us out of there" Melody says "sure, thanks for making my night...a Lot better" Douglas says, Melody holds the smile, as if she didn't want to accept the thanks.

"see you!" Melody says firmly turning around "bye" Douglas looks down and turns away going with Perry to the
tower.

Melody stops in her tracks and turns to look at him thoughtfully, she bites her nails and keeps walking.

Douglas looks back a little later and watches her walk away, he thinks "No! No! Don't even think about it" Douglas tells himself and keeps walking.

......................................................................

"I can't believe my serum didn't work" Chase says "This is awful. Kaz cannot be a sheep for the rest of his life. He owes me ten bucks!" Oliver says.

"Wait. When I zapped the swarm thinking it was Roman and Riker, it changed Kaz back into his normal self. Maybe if I zap Sheep Kaz, it'll do
the same thing" Skylar says "That could work" Chase says.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What if it doesn't? It could kill him?" Oliver says "Yeah, It's a possibility" Harper says.

"Plus, the whole place would smell like burnt wool" Chase says "Which is obviously our biggest concern at the
moment" Harper says sarcastically.

"It's our only option, Oliver" Skylar says "But... Fine. Hold on. Just in case it doesn't work out I have a few things I wanna say to Kaz first." Oliver says He walks over to sheep.

"Oh my goodness what if it doesn't work and Kaz sheep comes back to
haunt me for all the times I made fun of him!" Harper says "you still have time to make amends" Chase says and points to the sheep.

"Hey, buddy, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you on Halloween. I should have rescheduled my date with Skylar. I mean, she and I are going to be
together for the rest of our lives, so we'll have plenty of time for dinner later" Oliver says "Run that by me again?" Skylar says.

"He said you guys are going to spend the rest of your lives together" Harper says "yeah I heard" Skylar says "There's no turning back!" Harper whispers, Skylar makes a worried face.

"No matter what happens now, you'll always be my best friend. But you do still owe me ten bucks. I love you, man" Oliver hugs the sheep, Kaz walks in.

"Don't get emotional, Kaz, you're gonna make me cry" Oliver says,He didn't see Kaz "Um... Oliver? Kaz says.

"Kaz, you're not a sheep" Oliver says "How is this possible?" Chase says "Well, the serum wore off while a 6-year-old was petting me" Kaz says.

"Oh that must have been really good!" Harper laughs "yeah, that kid's gonna be scarred for life" Kaz says "Bree must have grabbed the wrong
sheep" Chase says.

"I'm sorry I ruined your guys' night" Kaz says "You didn't" Skylar says
"Really?" Kaz says "Really?" Oliver says confused.

"Well I mean you already ruin all of their days, what is one more night right" Harper says sarcastically.

Chase hold her face gently with his thumb on her lips "again you still have time to make amends" Chase says "Sorry, it's become aterrible addiction" Harper says with difficulty from the way Chase holds her face.

"at least it was interesting. I was afraid you were gonna end it with some cheesy fireworks or something"
Skylar tells Oliver "Oliver to base: Cancel the show. I repeat, cancel the show" Oliver says quietly for the watch.

......................................................................

The next day Bree, Harper and Chase are in the kitchen and Douglas is messing with the computer on the table in the corner, Bree watches Chase cut a sandwich and frowns.

"Chase, are you wearing a ring." Bree ask "yeah!" Chase smiles and holds up his hand.

"I've had it for like four weeks haven't you noticed?" Chase says "uh no! Why are you wearing a ring?" Bree ask.

"why huh!?" Harper says she sets a bottle of water on the table by purposefully holding the cap to show that she has the same ring "Do you have dating rings?" Bree says.

"Yey!" Harper says she wrinkles her nose looking at her hand, Douglas gets up and walks over to them.

"it was supposed to be the anniversary present I was going to get her but I had a few problems with
the delivery service guys" Chase says in frustration.

"aw this is so cute" Bree says "Exactly, a symbol showing that she's mine and
I'm hers" Chase holds Harper's hand.

"Chase, there's no point in you wearing a ring or even writing your name on Harper's forehead. people still won't believe you have a girlfriend!" Bree says, Chase rolls his eyes.

"The fact that our initials are engraved on them doesn't help either,
the other day a lady complimented my ring and when she saw it say "C.D" she said,"I think dvd is better!"" Harper says, Chase frowns.

"mine says "H.D"" Chase says "huh! Who knew Compact Disc dating the Hard Drive, is a beautiful love story" Douglas laughs "Hey he's my Compact
Disc!" Harper says, Bree laughs and leaves.

Douglas thinks "I'm glad to see you two are happy together' Douglas says "Thanks Douglas!" Chase says "means a lot" Harper says.

"yeah, and I bet...as you guys know how awesome it is would want...would wish the same for a lot of people, like me!" Douglas says.

"What do you mean!?" Harper ask "Nothing much, I'm just asking if you guys would be happy if I... found someone?" Douglas says, Harper and Chase look at each other.

"Did you find someone!?" Chase ask "Uh.. no! I'm just saying hypothetically" Douglas says nervously.

"Hypothetically if you found someone...yeah obviously we'd be happy for you" Harper says "seriously!? Anyone?" Douglas says.

"Douglas where are you getting at?"
Chase ask "nowhere, just..You know what, forget I asked this is silly!" Douglas says he leaves.

"Okay that was weird!" Harper says "Do you think he found someone?" Chase says, Harper laughs "Who would it be? Perry!?" Harper laughs, Chase laughs.
