ACT IV
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
The odd squad, Spike, Whistler and Xander discuss
the evenings events and help Pongo pack up to
leave.
JORDY
Pongo, no. You cannot take the remote
control.
Pongo frowns.
PONGO
Outlook not so good.
SPIKE
(to Xander)
So if he's Pinocchio that must make
you...
XANDER
Shut up Spike.
SPIKE
Did you wish upon a star and have a chat
with a little cricket?
XANDER
Again with the shut up.
WHISTLER
I don't get it. You sure they were
Nikrat demons? They don't have the juice
to accelerate the growth of an Ekul.
Xander sighs.
XANDER
That's okay. I have a pretty good idea
who does.
WHISTLER
Well then I guess we better get going.
Liv gives Pongo a quick hug and a smile.
LIV
Goodbye Pongo. I'm sorry I was so-
Pongo suddenly takes Liv in his arms and kisses
her passionately. Liv is swept away by the kiss.
The rest of the odd squad watch stunned as
they go on... and on... and on...
Pongo's "sister" is not amused.
SPIKE
Well, I guess Pinocchio really is a boy.
XANDER
Uh... Pongo?
Pongo gently pulls himself away from the kiss. Liv
is totally discombobulated.
LIV
Wow.
Pongo releases her and Liv just falls to the
floor. Maya gives Pongo the hairy eyeball as he
steps forward.
MAYA
Uh... I'll miss you too Pongo.
Pongo steps forward arms set for a big hug. Maya
just extends her hand.
MAYA
Let's just shake on it.
As they shake, Whistler steps forward and puts his
hand on Pongo's shoulder.
WHISTLER
C'mon buddy. We got a flight to catch.
Everyone ad-libs goodbyes except for Liv who is
still a puddle on the floor.
MAYA
So where do you think they are heading?
JORDY
Greece. Rome. I'm thinking some place
with a lot of laurel leaves and columns.
Jordy tries to put his arm around Maya's waist.
She steps away from him. They share a look.
JORDY
What do you think Liv?
Liv sits on the floor, a puddle of emotional mush.
LIV
Wow.
EXT. LOS ANGELES - US POST OFFICE
TITLE - Los Angeles, CA. US Post Office - Two days
later.
Whistler and his two blue friends stand outside
the building.
WHISTLER
I know, it doesn't look like much. Trust
me. It's home.
Pongo and his sister look at each other and shrug.
PONGO
Signs point to yes.
Whistler smiles and walks into the building and
the two budding oracles follow.
INT. VIZIER'S SANCTUM
Amy and the Vizier watch Whistler and the young
oracles enter the building via a mystical window.
The vizier and Amy smile at each other.
VIZIER
Scratch one Oracle.
Amy smirks.
AMY
Scratch one-
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
AMY(VO)
-werewolf.
Jordy opens the door from the outside and drops
his book bag at the door.
JORDY
Sorry I'm late. I had detention-
Jordy looks up to see Xander, Liv and Maya
standing in the kitchen. Maya's eyes are bloodshot
from crying and is holding onto Liv for support.
Oz stands in front of them. Packed suitcases are
on the floor.
JORDY
(stunned)
-Again.
Nobody says anything.
JORDY
So.
Insert awkward pause here.
JORDY
What's going on?
OZ
We thought it might be best if you come
with me for a while.
JORDY
What's "a while"?
OZ
Until it's safe.
Jordy drops his head.
JORDY
I'm sorry, I-
XANDER
It's not your fault Jordy.
LIV
And you'll be back.
Jordy lifts his head to look at Maya.
Maya walks over and they hug each other tightly.
JORDY
I'm sorry.
MAYA
You better write me or I'm going to to
have to kick that fuzzy butt of yours when
you get back.
They smile. They kiss gently.
JORDY
I'll be back.
MAYA
I'll be here.
OZ
C'mon 'cuz.
Jordy and Maya kiss one more time. Maya steps away
as Oz and Jordy pick up the suitcases and head out
the door. Jordy turns and looks back on the odd
squad and gives them a small smile.
He turns and walks out the door following Oz. As
soon as the door shuts Maya bursts into tears. Liv
holds onto her friend as she sobs into her
shoulder.
GO TO BLACK
END ACT IV
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
And so we say goodbye to probably one the oddest characters I ever came up with.
I'm talking about Pongo.... Not Jordy. Though he is a little on the odd side.
For those of you who found him annoying, give a cheer. He's gone until the next time I need someone to give a prophecy to.
For those of you who liked him.... well you have to admit he went out in a blaze of glory. (Glory with a small "g", not the hellgod from another dimension)
I'd go into the inspirational events that brought Pongo into this little world, but that is one territory of my head that no sane person should ever venture into.
As for Jordy... He is not going away. (Somewhere, someplace... teacosy just sighed in relief). I'll be posting segments of his journey between episodes.
Thanks for reading!
