Out in the courtyard, Mentor Ji and Jayden watch as the rest spar with their sticks.  Emily and Mike are sparring against each other.  Mia and Kevin are also sparring against each other.  Emily puts all her effort into the practice and knocks Mike off his feet.  Mentor Ji:  Emily's usually the one falling over, but it's different when she's a sword in her hand.  Jayden:  Maybe she can teach Mike a few things.  Mentor Ji chuckles.  Emily is concerned about Mike, who has landed on his back.  Emily:  Did you hurt yourself?  Mike gets up and Emily tries to take a look at his back.  Emily:  Let me see.  Mike:  No thanks, I'm fine.  Emily is insistent, but Mike doesn't want her looking at his back.  Mike tries to get away and Emily ends up chasing him around the courtyard and into the base.  Inside, Emily has taken a bag of frozen peas out.  Mia and Kevin have joined them inside.  Emily offers the bag to Mike.  Emily:  Here you go!  Mike is still hurt and is sitting in a chair.  Mike:  Frozen peas?  Emily:  It's like an ice pack.  I was accident prone as a kid and it always healed me right up.  Let me.  Mike:  No thanks.  Mike gets up and ends up being chased by Emily once more.  Emily:  You really should.  Mike!  Come on, it will make you feel better!  Emily slips on a plate that's on the floor.  She screams as she falls to the floor.  Her face landing in the plate and smashing the bag of peas she had in her hands and sitting in the plate.  Mia:  Emily, are you okay?  Emily has frozen peas stuck to her face.  There are also peas scattered around the floor.  Emily:  There everywhere!  Emily feels bad, she feels like she is a disaster.  Mia kneels down and wipes off Emily's face.  She tells her she's not, she was doing a nice thing.  Mike kneels down and apologizes.  Emily places the blame on herself, telling them she was being silly.  Emily tries to clean up the mess and ends up sliding on the peas and falling on her rump.  Emily becomes very upset with herself - not again!

Negatron pulls himself up onto the ship.  Octoroo spots him immediately and he is happy to see him - the Prince of Putdowns himself!  Octoroo welcomes him abroad.  Not quite on the ship. Negatrons starts insulting Octoroo.  Octoroo covers Negatron's mouth.  He tells Negatron to save his insults for the human world, where it will do them some good.  Your sharp tongue will make those crybabies wail.  Negatron tells him that's his plan.  Negatrons begins insulting Octoroo again.  Octoroo covers Negatron's mouth once more.  Octoroo tells him to go rip on those humans, make this river flow the Earth.

Emily is in the kitchen.  She is gurgling with a glass of water when Mike walks up behind her.  Mike asks her if she is okay?  Startled, Emily sprays the water all over Mike.  Emily feels bad and grabs a towel to wipe Mike's face.  She feels like she is always making a mess.  Emily notices the dustpan in Mike's hand.  She tells him she will sweep, it was all her fault.
