Why would Piper sketch this vision of me about to blast Roman?

I can't think of a single reason why I would ever do that.

Stop whatever dumb thing you're doing. What I'm about to say is way more

important. Okay, there's one reason.

The changeling's back.

The changeling? But we chased it away.

Yeah, tell that to the purple goo that splattered all over our bathroom. We

gotta do something.

By we, I mean you.

Yeah, yeah, I know what you meant.

Justin, there's a... Changeling.

I know.

Tracked it from the bathroom to the boys' room.

This goo could take the form of anybody. We've got to do something.

That's not Bob. We hear me. Yeah, yeah, I know what he meant.

Oh, no!

I can't look. Is that a sneak?

Coolest new six -ray on Green Mall Middle. Why, yes, it is.

For a minute, that's not changeling ooze. It's purple hair gel. In my

I'm an alarmist. You all know this.

We gotta clean this up before somebody flips.

Why is the floor covered in hair gel?

Hey, nobody says anything, she'll never know it was me. I think she will.

Everything is not what it seems. Yes, please.

What it seems.

I should have made more popcorn.

You should have made more popcorn.

I know, that's why I said it.

No, you said I should have. The correct grammar is I should have.

Okay, Roman, if my teachers can't get through to me, you have no shot.

Hey, I didn't know you guys had a doorbell.

Well, we do, and I invite you to give it a try any time.

Good one, Mr. Russo.

Listen, I invited a new transfer student over. I thought it'd be nice if she

made some friends before school starts. Her name is Karina Kowalski.

Karina Kowalski?

Is she related to your boss, Superintendent Kowalski?

You know, now that you mention it...

I think it's his niece.

What a coinkydink.

Trying to score points with your boss, huh?

No. Yes.

Listen, last time Kowalski saw me, I was six inches tall and riding a guinea

pig. Okay? I don't need anything like that happening around his niece.

All right. Got it. Be nice. Be normal.

Normal.

Hey,

there. You must be Karina.

You've got that neat streak in your hair. Isn't that neat, guys? I tell you

what, I think it's neat.

I don't know how to respond to that.

You're the one not being normal. I know. I heard it. I'm going to go into the

kitchen.

Hey, Karina. I'm Billy. This is Winter. Hi. Hi.

Listen, I was new last year, so you can ask me about all the important stuff,

unless it's teachers, classes, and homework.

And I am Roman.

Greetings, new badger.

We're the badgers, huh? The mascot at my old school was the zebras.

Oh, well, here's a fun fact. If you shaved a zebra, they'd appear almost

entirely black. The white stripes only appear because the pigment is absent.

No, no, no. A fun fact is a cockroach can live a week without a head.

I will see your fun fact and raise you the most fun fact I know.

A strawberry isn't a berry, but a banana is.

Mine was grosser, but yours was fun, too.

Karina's cool, right? Definitely.

And Roman's Roman?

Sure, let's go with that.

So explain to me why this is happening.

You are so funny.

I am? He is.

Milo? What are you doing?

Mom, you're not.

I could have been in here doing something weird.

Well, I'm so glad you're not.

Sweetie, you're going to be late for school.

Hey, I was thinking, maybe I shouldn't go today.

It's just, the vibes are off.

You write me a note, you know, for the vibes.

Starting middle school is a big deal.

It's normal to be nervous, but sometimes you just have to be brave and face your

fears. Think of it as an exciting new adventure.

It's a no -no?

No -no. Now, hurry up, okay?

And don't squat in your closet like that. I don't know why it's bad. I just

don't like it.

All right, Egg. I have been sitting on... since I took you from the dragon's

nest that I gotta go to school.

So if you're gonna hatch, do it now.

Hatch now.

One, two, three, hatch.

Actually, it's probably better if you wait until I'm home. Oh, no, it's

happening!

I'm gonna be a dragon daddy!

Aren't you the cutest thing?

What should I name you? I'm great at naming things.

No, wait, that's my name.

You almost scorched my eyebrows.

Hey, should I call you Scorchy?

Then Scorchy it is.

Milo!

Listen, Scorchy, I need you to stay in my closet until I get back.

Aw,

don't cry. You're going to make me cry.

Okay, fine.

Taking a baby dragon on my first day of middle school?

I got a good feeling about this.

I wouldn't use that water fountain.

Brandon S. puts his whole mouth around it.

But don't worry. I brought you a water bottle.

Okay, I get it. You're in love with me.

What?

No.

That's just a water bottle.

I'm kidding.

Hey, Karina. How's your first day at school going?

It's school, so, you know, it's... The best school you've ever been to.

see you need this, so sure.

I don't need this. It would just be nice to, you know, hear it.

And if you happen to mention it to your uncle, that would be super neat.

So, where should I sit at lunch?

Well, uh, the cool kids sit by the window, but I sit at a table by the

Then I guess I'm sitting by the bathroom. No, I said the cool kids

I can't believe this is still going on. Something is definitely up. Don't you

think it's suspicious that a girl as cool and pretty as Karina's into Roman?

That's mean.

It's not mean. I'm just saying. That girl is out of his league. She's out of

universe. They're not even the same species.

You hear yourself, right?

Not even the same species.

Wait, Winter, that's it.

They're not the same species.

Karina Kowalski's the changeling.

You know, ever since Piper gave me this sketch, I've been trying to figure out

why I would be attacking Roman. What if I'm not attacking him? What if I'm

protecting him from the changeling? I don't know.

Superintendent Kowalski's niece?

A changeling?

You should totally consider modeling.

It makes more sense than that.

Did you have a good nap?

Got you some loose meatballs from the cafeteria.

They're a little cold.

This is awesome.

I'm never eating cold meatballs again.

in the last period.

I was researching changelings. What'd you find out?

Well, a changeling's sole purpose is to take the form of someone in a group and

sow dissension.

Huh. I know I didn't know what sow dissension meant either, so I looked it

It means to turn everyone against each other. So what do we do now? I found a

bunch of tests we can do to prove Karina's the changeling.

Follow my lead.

Hey, Karina, I was thinking, after school, would you want to come over to

house? That depends.

Is this loser going to be there?

Well... I don't have to be if you don't want me to be.

I'm kidding. I want you to be there. Then I will definitely be there. Then I

will definitely be there. Okay, great. We're all going to be there.

All right. After school, we proved Karina's nothing but evil purple ooze

turn us against each other.

Either that or we're about to start a really weird rumor.

Yes, sir. Mr.

Kowalski, your niece is having a fantastic first day. She even told me

the best school she's ever been to.

Completely unprompted.

No, I didn't say, uh, oh. I said, gotta go.

Oh.

Gotta get back to work. Love you. Bye.

Did I just say I love you to my boss?

I better not have raccoons again.

I've hunted monsters. You think I'm afraid of, uh... Ah!

That's a dragon. I gotta get rid of it before Karina Kowalski sees.

Or anyone, for that matter.

Where'd he go?

Oh, dang it. I'm going to need help.

But it's got to be someone discreet.

Someone who could blend in. Someone who can walk the halls of middle school

without drawing attention.

Thornblazer, Dragon Hunter, at your service.

Could you be any louder?

Oh, you want the big horn? Well, that's in my van. I'll go get it.

No, no, no, no, no. Just go get the dragon quietly.

That's no problem.

Old Thorne Blazeheart has a three -part foolproof system. I find them, and I

catch them. You had me at find them and catch them. Good day, sir.

Pete even let me get to the third part.

That's where I turn them into boots.

Gotta get Scorchy out of that locker.

Ah, bubble lockers. Why do you have to burn a hole in mine?

Oh, right, because I put them in there.

glad you came over.

Me too.

You know, I was kind of nervous to start out at a new school.

Thanks for making my first day a good one.

Oh, she is good.

This changeling is very good.

You know, if I didn't know better, I think Karina's just some random girl who

actually likes Roman.

But we know better.

He's so lucky he has us.

Okay, while Karina's chatting up Roman, we'll run the changeling test on her.

And what exactly are these tests?

Well, for starters, whenever a changeling smells a werecat, they

Do you have a werecat?

Oh, better.

Werecat in a can. All the stink, none of the shedding.

Do you smell that?

It's working!

It smells like a cat fell into a bowl of mushrooms, too.

Oh, that is a perfect description.

I can't stop.

I can't. I can't.

Stop.

Sleeping?

Yes.

Let's get you some fresh air.

Stupid Roman sniffed up all the stink.

Time for phase two.

Another thing about changelings, they don't show up in pictures.

Winter, go ask for a pic of Karina. Or you ask for a pic and I'll take it.

I borrowed my mom's sweater without asking. I do not need evidence.

Hey, guys, I had a great idea. Let's get a pic with our new friend, Karina.

Right now?

On three. Everyone say friendship.

One, two.

Friendship.

Got it? Great.

I'm fine, by the way.

How is she in the picture?

This changeling is tricky.

And nailing her angle.

She's left me no choice. It's time for the sprayer with mustard and turn her

into ooze test.

That's where I spray... Yeah, I got it.

Hey, Karina.

Billy! How's it feel? Does it burn?

No, but it's gonna stain.

It didn't work.

Roman, I'm just gonna go home.

No, Karina, wait.

Billy, this is the worst thing you've ever done to me, and you turned me into

baby two weeks ago.

Finally, everyone's gone home.

Gotta find Scorchy before that dragon hunter turns him into boots.

Scorchy, where are you?

Milo? What are you doing? I've been circling the school like I'm at the

Let's go.

I can't leave.

I... lost my retainer.

You don't wear a retainer.

Darn my perfect teeth.

Milo, what's going on?

Fine. When I went to that dragon fest with Billy, I took an egg, and it

this morning. So I brought it to school, and it got loose, and Dad called a

dragon hunter, and that jerk's going to take away my beautiful baby boy!

I knew you were doing something weird in your closet this morning.

All right, let's find this dragon.

Thanks, Mom.

Also, I missed, like, four classes, so I'm going to need you to write a note.

Ugh, we should have let you get a dog.

It's your dragon, isn't it?

Should've let him get a dog.

I don't get it. None of the changeling tests worked on Karina.

Guess I was wrong.

Unless... No, forget it. It can't be that. Can't be what? Maybe it is. You

it's gotta be that.

Those changeling tests didn't work on Karina, but they did work on Roman.

Roman? Of course.

The werecat made him sneeze.

He practically dove out of that picture, and he freaked out when I sprayed

mustard all over Karina. Because he thought you were going to get it on him.

Exactly. Classic stranger.

Billy, why would you invite Karina over just to mess with her? Are you jealous

that a cooler girl than you showed up? Did you just say she's cooler than me?

That's what I heard.

And Winter, why are you helping her? You're supposed to be my friend.

Now he's trying to sow dissension.

What and huh?

Tear us apart.

Right. That's what they do.

I can't believe I thought Karina was the changeling. Why would you think it was

Karina? Well, she really liked you, and she's so... So what? I don't want to say

it. Why not?

Tell them what you told me.

There's no way a girl that cool would ever be into Roman.

That's what you think?

No, I just thought... I just thought Karina liked you. But Billy was like,

she's definitely the changeling. But now we know it's you.

What? We know you're the changeling. Billy! Stay back!

the changeling. He's coming for you.

Don't come any closer.

What are you doing?

Vanishing you.

Stay back, changeling.

Billy, if I were a changeling and could be anybody in the world, you really

think I'd pick somebody who's this, does this, when he does this?

That is a good point.

Don't look at him. He's just trying to confuse you. Billy, please, I'm not the

changeling. Nice try.

Got any last words to say to Winter and I?

Wintering me.

What? Grammatically, it should be Winter and me.

You're correcting my grammar now.

Just blast him. Right. Well, Winter and me say goodbye.

Okay, oh, really quick. In this instance, it would be Winter and I.

Would you just blast him already?

You miss.

You never miss.

You're right. I never do.

It was winter the whole time.

Yes, I am the changeling, and I came to sow dissension.

That means Sarah's apart. I know what it means.

Took you long enough to figure it out.

I will destroy you and Roman.

Roman and you?

Grammatically, both are correct, but either way, not a fan.

I can't believe you brought a dragon to school on your first day of sixth grade.

Really? You can't believe it? Because it feels very on brand for Milo.

Dad, we have to find Scorchy before that dragon hunter does.

Please. I've never left anything so much. It's like a piece of my heart

around outside my body.

Oh, that's what the cover of Milo's baby book says.

But, buddy, Scorchy is a dragon. He doesn't belong in the mortal world. We

to let Mr. Blazeheart do his job.

But he's going to turn Scorchy into...

what he done and you hired this guy justin russo i didn't know okay don't

i'll just tell him the job's off you can't call the job off you signed a

contract but you're not really gonna turn a baby dragon into boots are you

he's probably too little for boots make a heck of a belt though

we gotta find that dragon

have to catch that changeling and figure out why it's here. Okay, uh, one of us

could distract it while the other blasts it. Oh, great. I got blasted. Okay.

What? No!

Hey, Winter.

Sarah Changeling.

That's cool.

Oh, Billy, it's got me!

Yes, she's got me, too!

Did you know I could do this beam thing?

Obviously not!

Are you sure he's in here?

Scorchy! Oh,

thank goodness!

Scorchy, we found you!

Hands off my dragon!

Hey, that almost hit me! That was a warning shot. You leave my baby alone.

And my baby's baby!

Come on, let's get Scorchy home.

Milo. Scorchy already has a home.

Think about it. How would you feel if Scorchy came into your bedroom, scooped

you up, and took you to live with a family of dragons?

Dad, I know what you're trying to do, but it's not working because that sounds

awesome.

My little Scorchy is a wild animal. I know you love him, but he doesn't belong

here.

You're right.

Scorchy?

dragon a kid could ask for.

I really wish you could stay, but you have to go home where your mama can keep

you safe.

I know it's hard, but sometimes you have to be brave and face your fears.

Think of it as an exciting new adventure.

Aw, I taught him that.

Give me that dragon!

Did I say you could move?

No, ma 'am, you did not.

Milo, time for Scorchy to go.

I'll never forget you, Scorchy.

Well, now that we don't have a dragon in our school, we will no longer need your

services.

I suppose you don't.

But I'll be back.

Did you sign up for the Blaze Art Protection Plan?

I'll just stop by twice a year, check the traps. Y 'all have a great day now.

Milo, that was a very grown -up decision, letting Scorchy go.

I shouldn't have had him in the first place. I'm sorry.

Maybe it's time we talk about getting you a pet.

Really? Yeah.

In about a month when you're done being grounded, you brought a dragon to

school.

Why are you doing this? You Russo's are too powerful together.

That's why I'm here. To turn you against each other. To break you apart.

That's what he wants.

For Billy to be alone.

Unprotected. That no one can stand in his way. Whose way? Who sent you? Lord!

thank you for saving our lives with nothing but mustard and my wits?

Yeah.

That's what I meant.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm sorry for thinking that you weren't cool enough for Karina.

Oh, actually, she already texted me to see if we can hang out tomorrow as long

as you're not there.

If you think about it, you're not cool enough for Karina.

I deserve that.

But how do you know I wasn't the changeling?

Only my annoying brother would use his last breath to correct my grammar.

Oh, you called me a brother.

I also called you annoying. Heard it, choosing to ignore it.

How'd the changeling pretend to be me? You guys knew I was in Mexico.

Of course we did.

You forgot I was in Mexico, didn't you? Of course we did.

If you forgot I was gone, who fed my cat?

I guess the changeling did. That was nice.

She did it while in my mouth, Pat.

Oh, no, she did not.

She copied off of me.
