- Fade in -

Prometheus Academy - Ext. - DAY

Students flood the outdoor halls. Camera on A 17 year old girl, with a shoulder length hair, green eyes, a pale complexion, wearing a black Chitan with blue flames around the hem, a dark blue shawl, and a black choker with a skull on it, walking down the hall, looking a bit lost. Adonis, leaning against a locker, checks her out.

- ADONIS -
(to himself)
Well, hello gorgeous.

He walks over to her.

- ADONIS -
Pardon me but I couldn't help but
Notice you are looking a tad lost...allow me to
Introduce myself, I am Adonis, Prince of Thr-

The girl shoots him a annoyed look.

- CALLISTIA -
Yeah, yeah, real fascinating. Look,
Princey poo, could you possibly do me
A favor and go away? I'm trying to figure
Out where my class is.

Unmiffed, Adonis stays put.

- ADONIS -
Look, you obviously don't know me very well.

- CALLISTIA -
(sarcastic)
And I intend to keep it that way.

- ADONIS -
(not listening)
You see, I am a prince, and a prince always gets
what he wants. So...I'll make this short. Meet
me at the Cafeterium at lunch, and we'll talk
more. Ciao, beautiful.

He exits. Callistia stands there, and crosses her arms.

- CALLISTIA -
(lowly)
Don't bet your drachma on it, you
little blonde yutz.

Just then, a voice from behind her turns her attention.

- CASSANDRA -
(off screen)
First day at school and
you get to meet HIM...boy your luck
is good.

Callistia turns to see Cassandra and Icarus standing there.

- CALLISTIA -
(smirks)
Let's just hope the Cafeterium
food gives me botulism before I have
to meet up with that creep again. Hi,
I'm Callistia.

She and Cassandra shake hands.

- CASSANDRA -
I'm Cassandra, and this pain in the
patella next to me is Icarus.

Icarus grabs Callistia's hand and shakes it furiously.

- ICARUS -
It's a pleasure to meet you! Oh,
its another guest to invite to our wedding,
honeykins!

Callistia raises an eyebrow.

- CALLISTIA -
Is he...alright?

Cassandra laughs slightly at this.

- CASSANDRA -
Would you be okay if you flew
too close to the sun?

- CALLISTIA -
Oh, he's THAT Icarus...so that explains it.

Icarus comes back onscreen, straws sticking out of his ears and nose.

- ICARUS -
Yes I'm weird!! And I don't care, because
All that matters is my love...for Cassandra!

Icarus throws his hands around Cassandra. She shoots an annoyed look at him.

- CASSANDRA -
Icarus...what have I said about that?

- ICARUS -
That I either keep my hands off of you,
Or you take them off with a hacksaw.

- CASSANDRA -
That's right.

She yanks him off of herself, and drops him to the ground. On impact, the straws fall out. The school bell rings, and students begin to hustle to class.

- CALLISTIA -
Shoot, I better get to class. I'll talk to you at lunch, okay? Bye!

She runs off to her class. Icarus looks at Cassandra.

- ICARUS -
Lunch? But I thought she was going to
Be eating with Adonis?

Cassandra raises an eyebrow.

- CASSANDRA -
(sighs)
Icarus, what do YOU think about it?

Icarus thinks for a second, then turns back to Cassandra.

- ICARUS -
That..we...should go to class too?

Cassandra exhales.

- CASSANDRA -
Why do I even bother...

She grabs Icarus by the collar, and drags him off to class.

The Cafeterium - Int. - DAY

Students are lined up, retrieving lunch. Callistia walks with her tray of food, and Adonis spots her. He walks over to her, trying to put a charming smile on.

- ADONIS -
Ah, there you are...my lunch facilities are up there.

He points to a large balcony. Callistia rolls her eyes.

- CALLISTIA -
Look, golden boy, thanks for the invite,
But I already agreed to sit with friends
elsewhere, so...toodles!

She turns and heads toward the table where Cassandra, Icarus, and Hercules is sitting.

- ADONIS -
She rejected me??? No one rejects Adonis,
prince of Thrace!

Cassandra is the first one to notice Callistia.

- CASSANDRA -
Hey Callistia. Sooo...how'd Adonis take your
decline to eat with him?

Callistia chuckles.

- CALLISTIA -
To tell the truth, I don't really care how he
took it.

Hercules looks up from his lunch.

- HERCULES -
Is she the new student?

Icarus stands up on the bench.

- ICARUS -
Herc, I'd like you to meet Callistia. She's the
New student at Prometheus high...and already
She's humiliated Adonis...just like you did,
Herc, only in a different way...of course...

Hercules and Callistia shake hands.

- CALLISTIA -
So, you a prince, king, or some kind of
deity?

Hercules blushes a bit.

- HERCULES -
Actually, no.

- ICARUS -
(butting into the convo)
Herc heres' the son of Zeus!

Hercules looks mortified.

- HERCULES -
(a bit angry)
ICARUS!!

- ICARUS -
What?? All I told her is that your
dad is the king of the gods...

- HERCULES -
Well, that's one thing I'd like to keep
under wraps...

- CALLISTIA -
(disbelieved)
Lemme get this straight...
Your dad...is Zeus?...
The God of lightning?

Hercules looks embarrassed.

- HERCULES -
I don't like to make a big deal
out of it, but yeah, I am.

Callistia looks at him.

- CALLISTIA -
Hey, don't be embarrassed, its okay, I have my
own little quirks too...

Cassandra looks intrested.

- CASSANDRA -
...Like?

- CALLISTIA -
Well...
(she pulls them in closer)
I'm really a sorceress.

Hercules pulls back a bit.

- HERCULES -
(aghast)
You're not gonna turn me into a
Toad a-are you???

Callistia shakes her head.

- CALLISTIA -
Hey, I'm not that kind of sorceress.
I'm a good one...although I'd like to turn
That Adonis into a sheep or something.
Besides, I'm a sorceress in training.

- ICARUS -
I keep a sheep in my locker!

- CALLISTIA -
(looks at him oddly)
Um, that's nice Icky.

- CASSANDRA -
So, turn him into something...it's not like
Anyone on campus cares.

Callistia thinks it over.

- CALLISTIA -
Well, I do have a 24 hour goat spell that I
Recently got down right...okay, I'll do it.

Adonis is over by Helen, trying to ask her out.

- ADONIS -
Well, Helen, what I wanted to ask you is...

Callistia puts a hand to her forehead.

- CALLISTIA -
(lowly chanting)
goatus maximus dorkus.

A bolt of lightning hits Adonis, and he becomes a blonde headed goat.

- ADONIS-GOAT -
Mmm-Baaaaa!

The Adonis-goat grabs Helen's chiton in its mouth and starts chewing on it. Helen screams and runs off, the Adonis goat chasing after her.

- CALLISTIA -
(laughs)
Did you see him? He chewed on her chitan!!
That'll teach golden boy to mess with me.

- CASSANDRA -
Hmm, you seem to have a petty side...I like it!

- CALLISTIA -
Hey, you seem to be the sorceress type,
why not come with me to the woods tonight, maybe
I can teach you a thing or two.

- CASSANDRA -
Hmm...learning to humiliate jocks and
other enemies...I'm game!

- CALLISTIA -
All right! Meet me at the woods at dusk.

- CASSANDRA -
It's a deal.

They both shake hands on it.
