Prunella and Marina compete to see who will be first to finish the book, but the two friends soon learn that speed reading does not always pay off. | ||
==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
The episode begins | The episode begins with Prunella on her seat, talking about a book she likes. When she says that the best part is the ending however, her friend Marina arrives and tells her to not tell them anything. To support her argument Marina asks Prunella if she would like it if she told her the endings of Cinderella and Snow White, only for two women looking like the characters themselves tell her she already knows the ending. | ||
Prunella continues to talk only for Marina to shut her mouth with her hand and exclaim "No! Greg, start the show!" before Prunella spoils anything. | |||
<center>'''Prunella and the Disappointing Ending'''</center> | |||
Outside the library a huge line is forming for the latest book. Inside the library, Marina and Prunella buy the book and promise each other that they will finish it at the same time. Specifically, for tomorrow they must only have read the first 3 chapters. | |||
Back at her house, Prunella is reading her book only to find that she has reached the beginning of the 4th chapter. With a bit of reluctancy, she decides to take a little peek at the chapter, only to read it as time passes. | |||
Without warning the door is heard and her mother opens it to show Marina outside, wondering if Prunella is in her house. Prunella quickly finishes the chapter before leaving her room and greeting her friend. However as they walk up, Prunella accidentally reveals a detail that was on the 4th chapter, and Marina realizes her friend read ahead. | |||
An imagination sequence happens in where Marina is a giant red-robed wizard who's scolding Prunella for reading ahead, and the poodle says she'll let the her friend catch up, upon which the wizard Marina shrinks down to normal size and we go back to reality, with Marina saying that by tomorrow they will only read up to chapter 6. | |||
Next day, Prunella calls to Marina's house, and Marina responds. They have a friendly conversation before Marina mistakingly calls a teacher in the book a raven, nervously asking if there was a raven in chapter 6 and Prunella realizes the girl had read ahead. An argument starts between the two and it intensifies when Marina thinks that Prunella says she's a faster reader than her, which the poodle confirms and it makes them break their promise; they will finish each other's book without waiting for the other. | |||
A montage follows as the girls read their books while going through their day. Principal Haney informs everybody about the Harvest Day Festival, only to notice Prunella not paying attention. An imagination scene occurs with Mr. Haney as the wizard who takes Prunella's book. So she must retrieve it. Then she sees a dragon when in reality it is Mr. Morris. Back in the imagination scene, she makes it past the dragon and goes to a door guarded by a ghost when in reality it is Miss Tingley. Back in the imagination scene, she grabbed the book when back in reality, Mr. Haney tells her that her reading will have to wait until after school. | |||
