| - This is a transcript for the episode of Baka-Chan, The Tomfoolery Begins.
* [Outside view of an arcade, it zooms inside through the front door, and moves in between the people walking around. The view catches a girl with an purple hair in an odango hairstyle playing a dance machine, and zooms in. We see a frontal view of her, then the video game, where she is getting at least a decent score. The game ends and the girl walks off of the machine.]
* Machine: Keep on grooving!
* [Meanwhile, a woman who is only seen from the shins down wearing black boots is dropping off what appears to be a small blonde, dark-skinned girl doll dressed in hula attire. She leaves it at a table, where the woman is seen from the back wearing a black, form-fitting suit.]
* Woman: There, you're someone else's headache now. [she walks off as the small girl doll has a vacant smile]
* [the purple-haired girl then past the table and sees the hula doll]
* Girl: Hmm... [out loud] did anyone lose a hula girl prize? [nobody replies] [she looks around and sees a woman walk off. The woman who dropped her off is looking at the prize machine] Excuse me, ma'am. Is this yours? [she shows her the doll, with the still vacant smile on its face]
* Woman: [bluntly] No. [the doll's expression goes from a vacant smile, to frowning unbeknownst to the girl as the woman walks off.]
* Girl: Ok. [thinking] I wonder who could have lost this. I guess I'll keep it.
* Doll: Symola doesn't like me anymore!!!
* Girl: Did... did you just talk?
* Doll: We're no longer bestest friends! [the doll cries geysers]
* Girl: [thinking] It's... alive... and crying. [to the doll] It'll be alright. Let's go outside.
* [once they are outside, the view pans up from the top of the exterior of the building to the girl and the doll out in front]
* Girl: So... um... what are you?
* [a "shing" sound effect is heard and the doll assumes a dramatic pose]
* Doll: I'm Raka-kuma-nakimako, but my friends call me "Baka*", usually Symola, who used to be my bestest friend.
* Girl: Ok, Raka, ku...
* Doll: [cheerfully] You can call me "Baka-Chan"!
* Girl: [thinking] Doesn't seem that her old best friend treated her that well. [to "Baka-Chan"] I'm Juno Irene* Shikuta.
* "Baka-Chan": Hi!
* Juno: So, do you have a home?
* ["Baka-Chan" points to the sky]
* Juno: Hmm... why don't you come home with me today?
* ["Baka-Chan"'s face lights up, with large, cute eyes and a "kira-kira" sound in the background]
* "Baka-Chan": I'd love to! [leaps five feet into the air, surprising Juno a bit]
* [Meanwhile, Symola is walking away from the arcade a different way, when a ping is heard]
* Scratchy Male Voice: Symola! Come in Symola! Do you read me?
* Symola: [answers her wristwatch communicator] Symola in. What is it, Tammer?
* Tammer: How's the Baka doing?
* Symola: I dumped her off somewhere and some girl took her, so I got lucky to longer have to put up with her.
* [flashback sequence, there is a view of a space ship]
* Baka-Chan: [voice over] Symola?... Symola!.... Symo-la!... Symolala!... Sy-Symoooola!... SYMOLA!
* Symola: [the view changes from inside the ship, where she looks very annoyed] WHAT?!!
* Baka-Chan: My pet cat is made of iguanas!
* Symola: Grrr!
* Baka-Chan: [jumps on to Symola's head] Let's stop for some ice cream! I don't know what that means, but I like how it sounds. [the view of the outside of the ship is seen]
* Symola: Hey, get off my head! Don't touch that, you little twerp! Or I swear I'll-!
* Baka-Chan: Ice cream!
* [the ship crashes into a gooey planet, then the flashback ends]
* Symola: Ugh, she's such a pain...
* Tammer: You fool! Didn't you get the memo? Commander Imball says that the Baka has an important component inside its body to help us.
* Symola: [freezes in regret] In what way?
* Tammer: The fluid inside it makes great warship bumper polish! Now, make haste! We've got to retrieve the little brat.
* Symola: Ok.
* Tammer: Excellent. Tammer out! [he then views his computer from the dashboard of his flying craft] good thing we had it chipped. Now, let's see... its coordinates should be... [he presses a button, which makes the display zoom in. From the satelite view of Earth, all the way down to Juno's street and her house.] Perfect. Another accomplishment for Tammer!
* [at Juno's house, she is with Baka-Chan and talking with her and trying to get to know her.]
* Juno: So, your home doesn't seem to be nearby.
* Baka-Chan: Yup, I'm from the planet Beeblebrox! They changed it's name a lightyear ago!
* Juno: Interesting. Care to tell me more about yourself?
* Baka-Chan: I was once a man...
* Juno: But you're a girl.
* Baka-Chan: Exactly. [smiles]
* Juno: [clears throat, then makes face] Um... that's disturbing. [cut to her narrating as she is shown dressing up Baka Chan in clothes from her collectable dolls] It is nice to have her here. Being filthy rich, my parents usually don't have time for me when they're super-busy, so I'm usually alone when I am home. [Juno is in her pajamas, and tucks Baka-Chan, who is wearing a small shirt, into a basket]
* [Night falls, then the elapsed time outside Juno's house shows that morning arrives. The view changes to a tree, which pans down to the street, where Juno is wearing inline skates and pushing Baka-Chan in a Chinese-style shopping basket]
* Baka-Chan: [peeks her head out from under the blanket] Where we going?
* Juno: Just out for a while, and I can't leave you home by yourself. And I'm using this basket to make sure you are nice and safe.
* Baka-Chan: Should I wear elbowpads?
* [They roll across the street when the "walk" sign is on.]
* Juno: [voiceover] Sometimes, I need to get away from it all. My large mansion and servants catering to my every whim, so it's nice to get out and find a shady tree to read under and forget I live in a place where you could easily get lost in if you don't know the way.
* [She sits under a tree, that's leaves are waving in the wind]
* Baka-Chan: [Hops up and down in the basket] What can I do?
* Juno: Uh... go play in that playground I guess.
* Baka-Chan: Yay!!! [bolts off to the playground. She gets on a ride-on duck and starts rocking] Giddy up, big glossy bird!
* [Juno smiles at her and turns her attention to her book]
* [But while she does, little does she know that someone is watching her from the bushes, and that someone is also scanning Baka-Chan]
* Tammer: She's a sitting duck... if I time this right... I can get a good shot.
* [He fires a rocket, but at the last second, Baka-Chan launches herself off of the duck and lands on a curved slide, where she slides down on her belly while giggling]
* [Juno notices the explosion when it hit and turned the duck ride into a cooked duck]
* Juno: Alright... [she runs over to Baka-Chan] C'mon, time to go home.
* Baka-Chan: But I was having so much fun!
* Juno: There's plenty of time to have more fun later, plus, this playground isn't safe.
* [They head off for home]
* Juno: Boy, when they warned us about the lethal dangers of a playground, we only had to worry about sharp objects buried in the sand.
* Tammer: [still in the bushes] Drat! I had it for sure! You may have lucked out this time, but next time I won't be so merciful.
* [The girls continue to head back]
* Juno: I think this book is due today. I got so caught up in it, I almost forgot. [She heads towards the library, while Tammer is following them in a floating pod]
* Tammer: Soon, I will make it into my planet's history books for capturing the Baka!
* [As Juno is dropping off a book in a slot, Tammer activates some spider like legs on his craft and he uses the legs to walk over to the unattended basket]
* Woman: [offscreen] Spider!!! [she whacks Tammer with her purse until his craft's legs break and he collapses and plops down] I hate those things... [walks away]
* [Tammer groans as Juno walks by, not noticing him and whisks Baka-Chan away]
* Juno: Now that that's out of the way, let's go home for real.
* [Back at Juno's mansion, where night has already fallen, Baka-Chan is back in her basket bed]
* Juno: [voiceover] Today was also a weird day. But not as weird as yesterday. But today, I strangely felt as if I was being followed.
* [Baka-Chan is dressed in doll clothes, as she is rocking back and forth, looking as if she is trying to put her feet behind her head]
* Juno: Well, lights out. [she turns out the lamp]
* Baka-Chan: Who turned out the sun?
* [Juno chuckles] Goodnight.
* [The next day arrives, and Juno is dressed in casual attire, as she is getting ready to go out with her friends]
* Juno: I hate to leave you at home alone with no one watching you, but hopefully I won't be gone for long. It doesn't seem too safe outside, so I guess you'll be safe inside. Can you act like a doll?
* Baka-Chan: Hmm... [she freezes, with a vacant smile on her face and wide eyes]
* Juno: what am I saying? I was convinced you were a doll when we met! See you later.
* [She leaves out the front doors]
* [At the bowling alley, Juno meets up with her friends, a blonde boy and a dark haired girl]
* Juno: hi, Timmy. Hi, Hilda.
* Timmy: Hiya, Juno. glad ya made it.
* Hilda: After this bowling trip, it'll probably be one of the last ones with just us three. I hear Mr. Beeblebrox is going to found a club where we interact with the kids from other classes and we might have bowling as one of our activities.
* Juno: Wow. Looks like he's had alot of extra time on his hands to think about this.
* Hilda: And he's got the perfect sized head to think about it with.
* [The three chuckle]
* [After the last pins were swept away and reset, the scoreboard shows that it was a close game, with Timmy having the highest score]
* Hilda: That was great. Well, it's almost 5. We have to get going.
* Timmy: Yeah, see ya, Juno.
* Juno: Yeah, but next time, watch out, 'cause I'm gonna cream you in our next game.
* [They walk away and they wave to Juno, who waves back. She is shown walking to a bar, sitting backwards with her bowling bag.]
* Juno: [thinking] I hope she's alright. Leaving her all alone was a hard decision, but I don't' think she'll cause too much trouble.
* [A bartender appears behind her] Hi little girl. What are you doing here?
* Juno: Oh! I wasn't planning on sitting here for ling, just gathering up my things.
* Bartender: Well, before you go, I'd like to offer you something. [he takes out a glass of a fizzy blue drink[ A new soft drink, Berry Blue Blast, it's on the house.
* Juno: Thanks. [she guzzles it and burps] Oooh, [giggles] the bubbles tickle and the flavor is strong.
* Bartender: Good, hopefully strong enough to knock you out before going into effect.
* Juno: Huh? [she looks weary, then starts to lose consciousness]
* [As she finally conks out, the bartender reveals himself as Imball]
* Imball: [into a communication device] The young human female is incapacitated.
* Symola: [on the other end of the line] good. That Tammer runt just doesn't know how to do the job right.
* Tammer: [offscreen] Hey!
* Imball: He also coulsn't find the link to our failure in obtaining the Baka. That girl who accompanied her was too smart, and in the way. So this ought to remedy that.
* Symola: It better.
* Tammer: I still have the Baka's coordinates, so the Baka is now vulnerable, as its protector is now disarmed, seeing as she's imbibed a stupidity serum.
* Imball: Excellent... [he sprouts jets on his boots and flies out of the bowling alley, through one of the lanes and out a vent] Imball out.
* [It is implied he dropped Juno off where she lives, and has abducted Baka-Chan. He is seen flying over Juno's mansion with Baka-Chan in his hand]
* Baka-Chan: Where are you taking me, strange man?
* Imball: Quiet.
* [the next scene fades in from black. It shows Juno in class]
* Woman Teacher: So, if I use an intransitive verb, what would that be?
* [Juno raises her hand]
* Woman Teacher: Yes, Juno?
* Juno: My cat had fifty kittens last week!
* Woman Teacher: Juno, that's not an answer to my question.
* [Juno raises her hand again]
* Woman Teacher: Yes, Juno?
* Juno: I can't have too much salt, or my mouth will get dry.
* [The other students giggle, the teacher looks stern]
* Teacher: Juno, we're going to have to discuss your behavior after class.
* [Later, in the hall, Juno is seen at the lockers]
* Hilda: What happened, back there, Juno?
* Timmy: And you left your book behind. [holds up a medium-sized book]
* Juno: Oh, it was too heavy, and my arms need to flap freely.
* Hilda: You know that's not your locker.
* Timmy: And you aren't supposed to put coins in it.
* Juno: But I'm close to winning a prize!
* [Timmy and Hilda look at each other, confused]
* Hilda: Well, we'll catch you later. [they walk away]
* Juno: But I have excellent balance, so you won't have to. [she stands on one leg, and bends over slightly, but she falls]
* [The bell rings]
* [As Juno exits walking backwards, she is swept up by Imball]
* Juno: Whee! Where are we going, Mister?
* Imball: You'll see. [They continue to fly and they glide above what looks like a stadium]
* Juno: That bowl could sure hold alot'a potato salad. [giggles and snorts]
* [Imball pulls a switch as they enter an interior room that closes the stadium from above and it takes off like a rocket ship. They eventually cross paths with another craft, and they collide, but don't crash. They link together as the stadium plugs into the other craft like a flash drive]
* Symola: Well, it's about time! We can't get a word out of this twerp!
* Tammer: Ok, Baka. What do you know about Juno's plot against us?
* Baka-Chan: Juno is my new best friend, and we have lots of fun together!
* Tammer: Yes, but what do you know?
* Baka-Chan: One time, I fell off a table, and accidentally touched my tongue to the floor and it tasted funny.
* Tammer: But what do you know about Juno's plan?
* Baka-Chan: Juno is my bestest friend!
* Tammer: Urgh... [facepalms] Imball, please tell me you can get some information out of the human.
* Juno: You know, you keep talking about getting things out of people. The only thing you'll get out of me is my organs. And I need those.
* Imball: She's still under the stupid serum's effects. Tammer, give her the antidote!
* [Tammer pulls out what looks like a dart in the drawer, and attaches it to Juno's forehead]
* Juno: [back to normal] Huh? Where am I? And how'd I get here?
* Tammer: I abducted you from your home, Earth child.
* Juno: How did you find out where I lived?
* Tammer: I sought out the coordinates of your little friend on my advanced computer, it's more advanced than you primitive earthlings can even begin to-
* Juno: So you basically stalked me with technology? That is beyond creepy! MORE TBA
