I haven't heard from Sean. I've got nothing from my university entrance

And to top it off, monsters are taking over the school.

What's this? Another commercial shoot?

The school will do anything for money. And I didn't bring my headshot.

Purple does make the world go round. Damien, what is going on?

Purple Dragon Energy Drinks is sponsoring the badminton tournament this

Can you believe this?

It's a full -on commercial assault on our academic environment.

Hey, I'll drink anything that puts more money into school athletics.

And what about the underfunded academic activities?

Today's meeting agenda?

We're drafting an anti -Purple Dragon argument.

Great, I'll be there.

Of course you will.

Or, you could go to the tryouts. Purple Dragon wants to hire Degrassi girls as

their sampling models.

Ooh, I'm so in.

Emma, I think you'd look great in purple.

Trust me, I'm not interested.

There's the shocker.

Hey.

What? You don't think I can wear a tiny dress in hot sugar water?

Everyone knows you never would.

You are who you are, Em.

You never change.

I change.

I do.

Tryouts at noon, just in case you tend your mind.

Demian is so into you.

You think?

I mean, is that okay with you?

We only went out for four hours, but it might be a problem with your boyfriend.

Just send me an email.

Thanks for the tofurkey. Hid your anti -war books from my bunkmates.

What, no hemp underwear?

What's that supposed to mean?

Toe -verky, anti -war books, hemp.

Am I really that predictable?

Not in a bad way.

Does this bring back any memories?

Well, when you've got a two -year -old, it's...

Kind of hard to get back in the game. You kicked butt at badminton at Lakers.

You remember that?

Look, my doubles partner dropped out.

Are you busy this weekend?

Well, I could ask my mom to babysit.

Awesome.

Practice after school?

Aggressive marketing has no place in our school. It commodifies youth and lines

the pockets of corporations.

They're sponsoring a tournament, not world domination.

It's the third year in a row that academic decathletes can't go to the

yet sports are heralded.

I thought you of all people would be behind us.

What makes you think I would?

Only everything you've ever said or done.

Purple Dragon is exploiting Degrassi students, hiring them to use their

to sell their product, not to mention the miniscule dresses.

I've seen shorter dresses at the prom.

I motion for a boycott of Purple Dragon girl auditions. A boycott? How

predictable.

While you're the expert on protesting, what do you suggest?

If you want to change the face of Purple Dragon, be the face of Purple Dragon.

Infiltrate.

Counsel will consider the point.

32 in a row. That's not too bad.

Must be that new grip I showed you. You've come a long way.

I can say the same for you.

Two years ago, you wore bicycle shorts to the Trump Inn.

It was Halloween. I was Lance Armstrong, just way skinnier.

You've definitely grown up.

Mia, can I be honest with you?

I've... Never actually done it.

Lots of people are virgins.

You shouldn't... Virgins?

No, not that.

I've never even kissed a girl.

We're a team.

You teach me on the court, and I'll teach you off the court.

We're being homogenized. Remind me why we're here again.

You're not here, and neither am I. Purple Dragon Girls 10 and 11 are.

Just try and have fun.

Hope I'm not too late.

Liberty, what are you doing here?

Well, Emma convinced me the first step to showing down with Purple Dragon is

showing up.

Four, six, eight, and...

You with the bangs.

I'm sorry. Goodbye.

What? Why?

Five foot seven height minimum. Thank you.

This is lame.

As for the rest of you, let's see that dragon flare.

You with the glasses.

Why should people drink purple dragon?

Well, a faster metabolic absorption of liquids allows athletes to increase...

Yawn. Attitude, honey. You don't got it.

Next.

Uh, you, number ten. Sell to me.

Red -blooded people will be tickled purple.

Sassy and sharp. Now that's what the Petey Girl's all about.

I thought we were just eye candy.

Have you ever seen eye candy talk?

And besides, as an advertising major, I like my beauty with a brain.

Number seven.

Emma. Wow.

You're... Approachable yet unattainable?

That sounds like a purple dragon girl talking.

What can I say? A purple dragon brings out the monster in everyone.

Come on, Snake. I'm just showing off a different side of myself.

How boring would I be if I were always the same?

As long as you're okay with what you're getting yourself into.

I am.

This is about being comfortable with my body.

Purple Dragon is about feeling confident and making people confident when they

drink it.

Wow.

Someone's learned the lingo, haven't they? You're the one that taught us the

medium is the message.

Wish me luck.

A reminder to all students of the regional badminton tournament this

Before this weekend's badminton action gets

underway... Let's hear it for Purple Dragon. Natasha?

Thanks, Coach.

Stay hydrated all weekend long with Purple Dragon.

Now, let's meet our girls.

So this is how you take down Purple Dragon from the inside?

Excuse me, Liberty, I have customers.

Hello?

Emma Nelson, a Purple Dragon girl?

I would never have guessed.

Hey, can I get some of that? Be careful.

Purple Dragon brings out the monster in everyone.

So I've heard.

Rawr. Ew!

Dress looks great on you.

I'm kind of surprised you put it on.

I'm full of surprises.

Since this is my idea, I think I deserve a thank you.

No, we're even.

Have you seen my best friend, a cute girl about yay high, doesn't kiss

strangers? I thought you said you and Damien were over.

We are, but you and Sean aren't.

What can I say? I'm just doing my job.

You know, friendly to any potential customer.

Emma, love what you're doing in there, but the kissing is just a bit over the

top. I thought you wanted sassy.

Be sassy on the cheek only, Kate. We need guys to think that you're...

Approachable yet unattainable. You got it. I'll see you back in there.

New job, new image, forgotten boyfriend, and the weekend just started, huh? What

can I say?

I'm redefining myself.

Right?

Every time I looked over, you were there.

What can I say? I had a good teacher.

And now it is time for your first lesson.

Here? Now?

Yeah, sure, why not?

Okay, so we're just hanging out, talking, and... Oh, but I'm

cold.

I'm freezing.

Well, let's go somewhere warmer then.

Okay, no. No.

When a girl says that, she means, you know, warm her up.

Give her a hug.

See? Learning.

You're good at this.

Practice makes perfect.

Would you like to taste the difference energy makes?

You're pretty smooth.

Bet you're even smoother under that dress.

What's your flavor, purple tea or grape moss?

About a little bit of that special recipe.

With extra lips.

Out of my face, geez.

Max, let me get that for you.

How about a free t -shirt?

Congratulations out there.

Thanks. I have an iron tummy tomorrow.

I was talking about your little make -out session in the sun garden.

You saw that, did you?

Well, I know that he shut me down before, but it turns out he was just

Really?

And I guess you cracked the sad code.

Yeah. We kissed.

And it's so sweet. I was his first.

Won't be his last today.

What was that?

Nothing. Good for you.

Look, I know I shouldn't have poured that on Bruce, but he is a Neanderthal.

Well, maybe you should have poured it on yourself.

It encourages wet t -shirt fantasies? No thanks.

Advertising one -on -one sex sells. They think if they buy the drink, they can

get girls like us.

So we're just objects to be had, not people, just bodies?

Hey, your body can be the perfect sales tool.

And as long as you're wearing this dress, what's in those bottles is more

important than your hang -ups. It's just kind of the way it is.

Oh my God, what are you doing?

I'm going purple with refreshment. Seriously?

Don't drink that.

Two zillion calories per can, it is a ticket to obesity.

Wait, so we can't drink the product we're promoting?

Just between you and me.

If your attitude isn't perfect, your body better be.

What's wrong with my body?

You wear the largest size that we make.

And it would suck if you grew out of it.

And dinner.

Not hungry.

Is everything okay?

Your mom made your favorite, tofurkey burritos.

Sounds great.

I'll be down in a sec.

What are

you

doing?

While we practice.

People who like each other show affection in public.

Mia, I like you, but not like that.

So what did you think we were practicing for?

I just thought that you were trying to help me.

But I like someone else.

So I helped you kiss someone else.

Hey, guys, they're giving out the trophies.

Whatever. You can have it.

All right, let's have another round of applause for the people that made this

tournament possible.

Purple Dragon.

And here to announce the Men's Singles Champion Trophy, Purple Dragon girl,

Nelson.

Thanks. But before I give out the trophy,

I'd like to

announce that I'm taking a stand against Purple Dragon.

What do you think you're doing?

Purple Dragon wants this body to sell their product, but not if it comes with

this mind.

Don't question, just sell.

Emma, not here, not now.

I say that as long as I wear this dress, I can't have opinion.

Exactly. So either shut up or take off the dress.

I am not going to shut up.

I tried to warn you.

Look at them.

He's actually interested in her sticker book.

Sounds like Anya.

Wake up and smell the scratch and sniff, Mama Mia.

It was never going to work between you two.

Oh, look at them. They look like kids.

I hate to have something in common with you, but... You and I...

We need men, not boys.

Hey, ladies.

Are your legs tired?

You've been running through our dream all night. Whoa!

I guess we're gonna have to wait.

Despite the highly public border of malfunction, Purple Dragon has decided

continue its partnership with Degrassi.

No such thing as bad publicity.

However, the school board will be reviewing its policies for in -school

promotion. Thank you.

So, I'm still waiting to hear about my suspension.

Well, you're in luck.

Matalaka has decided against it.

She did?

Off the record, she thinks what she did was brave.

You got two days' detention for violating the dress code.

We've got three months before you graduate.

Please, give me a break.

So, you busted out the birthday suit early this year. How does that feel?

Massively embarrassing, but at least I had control over what people saw.

Too bad you can't control what they'll think or dream or fantasize. I wish I

thought of that.

I can't believe you're the same as Nelson.

So not so predictable, huh?

Who would dare call you that?

Maybe it's time I let Sean know that I'm not the same girl he left behind.
