-Interviewer nods-

Hil: Ok cool. & I am best friends with a man who's cursed to be a cat...-mutter- he's so hot as a man though...

Take 2: BRANDON BOGA KUROSAKI, SAMURAI CAT MAN

A handsome muscular Italian man with coiffed brown hair enters and sits down...Brandon smiles in a charming way...

BRILARY (Brandon and Hilary)

BRANDON => Interviewer asks Brandon, “What is your relationship to Hilary Blade, the Ninja of Water?”

HILARY => Hil: Brandon's being silly. We were already known as BRILARY before we became a, romantic duo. By the way. Did you know 1 of his nicknames in Ninja Academy is the Gossip Guru?

They both giggle...

DAVID'S IDENTITY

Dave: I'm just a kid from Maine...people like Kai make fun of me...she calls me the Klutz of the Academy...but I know Hil's got my back...Brandon too...they're my best friends -laugh-...

Interviewer: I see. So you guys learn weapons too right?

Interviewer: Do we know what evil endeavor, he's planning...?

Brandon: None of us even know where he came from...but I know he's got bad juju...-wary serious look-

NINA & NILA ON LOVE...

Nina: Well ya know our cousin has a lot of, boyfriends...

Interviewer: Love interests, you mean...

Nina: Sure...-giggles-

Nila: Well she is dating Brandon...but ya know, Hursley likes her too...

Nina: Oh definitely...they flirt way too much...

Nila: Like you & Urs?

Nina tries not to blush & she keeps giggling...

Interviewer: Ah, so you talk to Urs...

Nina: Yeah...-giggles-

Nila speaks straight to the camera...Nila: Personally I think Phil is better as a boyfriend for my sister...he's, a gentleman...

Nina: Oh I do like Phil...he seems nice...oh but Urs...-seem to be dreaming-

Nila whispers to the microphone...Nila: Urs is not a good person. Just ask my cousin and her boyfriends...

CASSIUS WALKS OUT...

Interviewer: People say Urs Bosch is an overall unlikable character...

Cassius: Oh yes. Urs is not a good person. That much is true...

Interviewer: How do you know this?

Cassius: He has bad aura...or as Brandon would say, bad vibes...almost, evil...

Interviewer: Is he more evil than you...? I mean, you are the Ninja of Deception...

Cassius hesitates to answer...he seems annoyed by the question...

Cassius: Look, I don't have time for this...

Cassius gets up and leaves...

Interviewer: Oh...he's leaving...

Brandon comes on screen...Brandon: Bro...

Brandon & the Interviewer both look at each other confused...

HIL ON URS...

Hil: Here's what you need to know about Urs...he's not who you think he is, and he's not as good as he thinks he is...he makes a lot of basic mistakes...hence why I'm teaching Hursley Spanish...I'm learning myself...but at least I know when I'm accurate...cross-check valid sources, all the time...

HURSLEY ON URS...

Hursley: What do I think about Urs Bosch?

Hursley starts laughing...

Hursley: He's barely competition. He thinks he's good at what he does...he ain't shite...

Interviewer: Wow...

Hursley: Like I said...a highly overrated narcissist...I trust anyone who mistrusts him...Brandon & Hil, top of the list...

Interviewer: Hilary said she teaches you Spanish because she was frustrated with Urs not teaching others correctly...

Hursley: Yes. That's right. Hilary is a lovely teacher...very patient...very thorough in her studies...we're study buddies -smiles-...

LAST WORDS FROM THE NINJAS

NINA & NILA

Nila looks confused...Nila: What? Cassius walked out...?

Nina: Huh? Wouldn't be the first time...he's probably mad that Brandon or Hursley will later spend time with our cousin...

Nila: Oh my...

Nina and Nila both start giggling...

DAVID

Dave: Oh um, just watch the show...enjoy it...love your favourite characters...you guys wanna see my swords now...?

Interviewer: Yeah...

Dave: Cool, cool...

David does some stunts with his double blades...

BRANDON JOINS DAVID

Brandon: Yo Davey boy, watcha...watcha up to? Brandon winks at the camera...

Dave: Hold on Brandon...watch this...

He tries a move with the swords & something bad almost happens...

Everyone yelps & moves out of the way...luckily Brandon grabs the sword...

David awkwardly smiles...Brandon smiles as he hands him his sword back...

Brandon: Careful there buddy...

He pats David and smiles at the camera again...David smiles with him...

HILARY

Hil: May I know the time?

-Interviewer shows the time-

Hil: Oh my. Excuse me guys. I have to get back to work...I am the Secretary of Ninja Academy...I handle a lot...

Interviewer: They were saying you're the Chosen One...what are your thoughts on that?

Hil: Oh...I can't give away the story...you guys have to watch the show...have your own thoughts on it...personally I think it's a lot of responsibility...looking out for everyone...besides, you have to be married to be the leader of the Academy...

Interviewer: Wow...we'll see you later Hilary...

Hil: See ya guys...

HURSLEY

Hursley: Hilary is too sweet. She thinks she doesn't deserve being the Chosen One, but she does...she proves it...I can see why Brandon fights hard for her...
