(acoustic guitar riffs)

- That's from our latest CD.

I know you'll agree it totally rocks.

You do?

I mean, I mean, you, you do.

Great.

So, so you do want to book us

for your Saturday night all ages show?

You guys rock!

There, there's a catch?

Looking for femme appeal?

A girl singer?

- Looks like Marshall's totally into the band.

- They're trying to get their first

outside of the school gig.

- You told them we have a girl singer?

- [Marshall] We'll get one.

- No way.

Magnet 360's just us.

- Then there's no gig.

Come on guys, it'll be fun.

We'll hold an audition.

Hot band needs--

- Babe-a-licious singer.

We can meet some pretty awesome girls.

- When you put it that way, bro.

- Guys, this girl has to be able to sing.

- Hey, you should audition.

I've heard you sing in the shower.

You're good.

- One, because I can't sing outside of the shower

and two, I'd be auditioning for Marshall.

- What's wrong with that?

- Because if he doesn't pick me, then--

- Mm, you like him.

- We're friends.

- Then why are you so nervous?

Mhm.

(rock music)

- Good luck, girls.

- Thanks, Professor Z.

- So let me get this straight.

You want to audition?

- That's all right, right?

- I mean,

you have the highest grade point average in the,

in the school.

You're a math prodigy, a human calculator,

but a lead singer?

- I sang in the church choir.

- We're looking for someone with edge.

- You don't think I can be edgy?

- Well, sure, sure.

But, it's not just my decision.

- You know, I'm not expecting you to pick me just because

we're friends.

- Good.

Luck.

I mean.

Gotta go.

? Amazing grace ?

? How sweet the sound ?

- I sound awful.

Stop it.

You can do this.

- [Band Member] You're fantastic.

We'll be in touch.

Okay, next.

Next!

- Marshall's right.

I so can't do this.

(energy surge)

(swords clash)

Josie?

- I'm Josie.

Who are you?

(suspenseful music)

Okay, so my mom drops me at this boarding school

and I'm thinking it's like all the other places I've gone.

Students.

Teachers, principal.

You know, like normal schools.

But it's not.

Weird stuff happens here.

Really weird stuff.

And what's this guy doing here?

Something's going on and someone's behind it.

And we're gonna get to the bottom of it.

- There is nothing wrong at Blake Holsey High.

- She must be a transfer student.

- Do you speak English?

Francais?

Espanol?

- English.

- Me, too.

- Where did you get that tie?

It is so retro.

And those uniform shoes are to die for.

- My shoe buckles, they go the wrong way.

And my buttons are on the wrong side.

The writing on my school crest is backwards

and so are you guys!

- Backwards?

- Backwards how?

- Josie, how did you get to be so pink?

Or Vaughn, be a bookworm?

I mean, everything is so different.

- Come on, guys.

Let's, let's give the new girl some space.

She just needs a little time to get adjusted.

Right?

- You don't know how right.

- Marshall.

- Corrine.

- We're, we're rehearsing for our spring show.

If you're gonna be here for a while,

you, you need to learn the music.

- I don't plan on being around long.

- Too bad.

Got a great look.

- I do?

- Your eyes,

they're amazing.

(soft, curious music)

- This music is like everything else.

- Everything else what?

- The notes go the wrong way.

I, I can't read this.

- You can't read music?

- I can read music.

I, just not this.

- Unbelievable.

How did she get accepted into this school?

There's over 400 people on the waiting list.

- Maybe she knows someone.

- Maybe she's talented.

- Reflections.

Okay, think science.

Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.

My crest is reversed like in a reflection.

I'm on the other side of the mirror.

I've gotta get back.

(knocks on mirror)

That didn't work.

Where's the science lab?

- Far of the hall, but hey, it's not gonna help you.

- [Dance Instructor] Okay, I said I want to see

a perfect plie.

One, two, three.

(synth music)

- Professor Z.

It's Corrine.

I really need your help with something.

No one's used this in years.

- The critics hate it!

He has the emotional range of a swizzle stick.

- Professor Z!

- The man who lives in the tree?

- I came through a mirror.

- I live in a drawer.

- This mirror is a portal of some kind I came through.

- The pumpkin is a carriage

for the princess who lost her shoe.

- I'm not in the mood for games.

- By any other names.

- Professor Z, stop!

Please, I need your help.

- Another one?

- She came out of Professor Middleton's science room.

- Oh dear.

- No, I didn't.

I came through a mirror.

- No, you didn't!

- Trust me, my dear.

Wherever you came from,

it's better we keep it our little secret.

He can't find out that you don't belong here.

- Who?

Victor Pearson?

- How did you know?

- Wild guess.

- Oh, I still shudder at how he crushed the last poor dear.

He threw her out on her rear.

- Wait, if Victor kicks me out,

I'll never be able to get back, I know it.

- You won't be kicked out,

if I can teach you to sing.

- But he's going to be back in an hour and a half.

(soft rock music)

? You're all about joy ?

? But that's not who you are ?

? The sadness in your eyes ?

- No, no.

You're, you're, you're singing the words,

now sing the emotion.

(soft rock music)

? I gave you my song ?

(music cuts off)

Pull it up from your guts.

(soft rock music)

? My laughter, my light ?

? But you dimmed my radiance ?

? Your tears turn day to night ?

Keep going.

Keep going!

Sing anything.

- I can't, I can't, I can't.

- Why not?

- I can't because I'm not creative.

- Ugh!

- The brain is divided into two hemispheres.

Each half processes different types of intelligence.

- And you believe that limits you?

- I'm a linear thinker, left-brained.

I'm good at math.

- Really?

Wow.

- And science and computers

and I can do large sum calculations in my head.

You're all right-brained.

Emotional, artistic, impulsive.

You're all equally intelligent in, in different ways.

- So, it's not that you can't sing,

you have to learn to sing in a different way.

I've been teaching you this song

in a very right-brain way.

Now, I think I need a different,

more analytical left-brained approach.

Josie, start with, I gave you.

? I gave you my song ?

? My laughter, my light ?

? But you dimmed my radiance ?

- Good.

What's she saying?

- The girl in the song?

- That's you.

Think about how you feel.

- I'm torn between the fact

that I love the guy, my boyfriend, but he bums me out.

I'm conflicted.

- Good.

Marshall.

? Your tears turn day to night ?

- Good.

Chorus.

(soft rock music)

? Reflections of reflections ?

? My love reflects your joy ?

? But your pain is like a mirror ?

? There's a light it will destroy ?

- Fantastic, Corrine.

Josie, Marshall.

Let's run your duet from East Side Story, shall we?

- Oh, yes, darlings.

How wonderful!

- No.

No.

No, no.

This one.

She didn't audition.

- Oh, well of course she did, Victor.

You said she was formidable.

- Formidable?

Sounds like something I might have said.

Let's hear her then!

- She's not ready.

- I have a waiting list of students

who want to be stars.

If she can't sing--

- She can sing very well.

- Prove it.

- Why did you tell him that?

- Because you can sing, Corrine.

What's the most difficult math problem

you've ever worked on?

- Solving Fermat's Theorem.

- Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

This is not a song,

it's Fermat's Theorem.

And every word, every note is a number bringing you closer

and closer to the most glorious, most enchanting,

most liberating place you will ever be

in your head and in your heart.

(sock rock music)

? You're all about joy ?

? But that's not who you are ?

? There's sadness in your heart ?

? Hidden deep inside ?

- You've solved your theory and now

someone has stolen it from you.

? I gave you my song ?

? My laughter, my light ?

? But you dimmed my radiance ?

Think of it as someone you love.

? Your tears turn day to night ?

? Reflections of reflections ?

? My love reflects your joy ?

? But your pain is like a mirror ?

? There's a light it will destroy ?

? Darkness leads to light ?

(mirror crashes)

(laughter)

- I want her.

Out of here.

Now.

(dark, whimsical music)

- [Josie] You're not a transfer student?

- No.

- And you came here through that mirror?

- Yeah.

But now that it's broken, never gonna get back.

- That is the most incredible story I have ever heard.

I gotta write that down.

- It's not a story.

- Can you show us something that proves what you're saying?

- Okay.

I know all of your names.

Josie, Vaughn, Marshall,

and Lucas.

Your brother's name is Grant.

Vaughn, the man who's expelling me is your father,

Victor Pearson.

And you're sure he's behind the strange things that happen

here at Blake Holsey High.

- Wait, you know about them?

What causes them?

- Keep an eye on Victor.

Sooner or later, I know you'll solve the mystery.

- How come you know so much about us

when we don't know anything about you?

- I know it sounds crazy,

but you also exist where I come from, too.

And if I can't get back,

I'll never be able to see any of them again.

I'll never see my parents again.

- Durst managed to buy us some time,

but when Victor realizes you're still here, he'll be back.

- We have to try to fix that mirror.

- Not exactly 100%, is it?

- But, very Picasso.

(glass cracks)

- You know, my roommate just moved out.

You could hide with me,

if you're gonna be here a while.

- You mean forever?

(melancholy music)

Come on, get a grip.

- Having a backwards day?

- How did you know?

So, I'm stuck here on this side of the mirror

and I can't get back?

- You can when you're ready.

- How will I know when I'm ready?

- You'll be able to get back.

- That's what I'm doing here?

To get in touch with my creative side,

be more right-brained, right?

- But that doesn't mean you should lose touch

with your left.

- My left brain, my logical side.

- If you don't keep it up, you might lose it.

- It's a proven way to enhance your creativity.

- Explore solutions from a different point of view.

- Can we get down now?

My head hurts.

- Where I come from, we do the same technique

in scientific investigation.

Only we talk through a problem

from an upside down perspective.

- Proving that science is creative

and that the arts are scientific.

- Wait, wait.

The mirror wasn't broken when you went through it.

You need a new one.

- Josie, that's brilliant.

Kind of like the other you.

Except, you're a skater chick who hates pink.

- No way.

- Way.

Plus, you got a thing for Vaughn.

And you're the captain of the football team

and you get Ds in English.

- It's my best subject.

- Lucas, you're a conspiracy freak.

And you get bullied by a guy named Kubiak.

- Stu?

I'm directing him in Hamlet.

- And you are a very fine scientist and our friend.

- I'm glad.

- What about me?

- You don't talk about your emotions.

You're kind of a hustler and a chemistry whiz.

- Chemistry.

I like that.

- Corrine?

Corrine.

- Right.

Okay, let's see.

We need sugar, nitric acid, silver nitrate,

ammonia, water,

a right shape window glass.

- Why?

- We're making a new mirror.

- You know how to do that?

(upbeat, soft rock music)

? Many times I'm coming around ?

? I pick my feet from off the ground ?

? I found myself at last today ?

? I feel you near me in every way ?

? Would you tell me how you feel ?

? Feel you near me ?

? I feel you near me ?

- I think it should be in exactly the same place.

Okay, to the right.

Other way.

Forward.

Too far.

That's good.

(guitar riff blares)

No!

- Whew.

- Thank you.

You have given me so much

and I couldn't have done it without you.

- You came here with enormous potential.

I hope you spend the rest of your life

trying to achieve it,

using both sides of your brain.

- I will.

- Muah, muah, muah.

- We're gonna ask Victor and Durst

if they could put science back on the curriculum.

- And when you're on the other side,

think of me, covered in goggles, firing up a Bunsen burner.

- And solving the mystery of what's really going on here.

(soft, reflective music)

(energy surge)

- All set?

Corrine?

- Hey, I've been thinking it over

and I've decided I'm not gonna audition.

I know I can sing, but that band's your thing.

I was auditioning for the wrong reasons.

I felt like I needed to prove that I wasn't just

a math prodigy or a science whiz, but I don't.

Not to myself and hopefully not to you.

Looking at myself from a fresh perspective showed me that.

- Hey, wait up!

Corrine.

Corrine?

Slow down a sec, would you?

Corrine!

Corrine.

Did something happen?

What, what's so different about you?

- Maybe I'll tell you some day.

? But your pain is like a mirror ?

? There's a light it will destroy ?

(upbeat, soft rock music)

? Ooh, oh oh, oh yeah ?

? Oh, whoa, oh oh, yeah ?

? Oh, whoa, oh oh ?

? Oh yeah ?
