(BEES BUZZING)
The lights are looking gnarly!
Yeah. Henley gave me a crate of these babies to rig 'em up.
Nice tune, but have you got Nirvana?
In my locker.
Well, what are you waiting for?
Slide or steps?
(BEES BUZZING)
Slide.
Race you down there. Give me a head start.
- Count down from five. - Five...
..four...
(KIDS SCREAM EXCITEDLY)
..three...two...
- (ELECTRICITY SPARKING) - ..one!

THE MAVIS'S: ♪ Naughty Boy
- Marco! FUN KIDS: Polo!
- Marco! MAPPLETHORPHE AND CHESTER: Polo!
Marco Polo.
Could that be the name of our next villain?
Ooh. Which one?
You know, the dragon.
Based off my figurine from home?
You know, for our next chapter.
Wake up!
Who's there? Marco!
MAPPLETHORPE AND CHESTER: Polo!
(BOTH LAUGH)
Fish outta water! Come here!
NIMROD: Stop running!
- Tag! You're it! - Oh! Not again!
She seems to be doing OK since...
You mean Kevin?
(MAKES EXPLOSIVE SOUND)
Yeah, that was a shock, I'm not gonna lie.
Siobhan used to be a real buzzkill,
but now Kev's gone, the girl's got a new lease on life,
so to speak.
Hey, Gonzo. Need a hand?
Chuck her over.
What's going on there?
(ARM CLICKS)
Presenting the legend of... Romy Le Maro Moore.
The first disintegrating boy.
Romy was a lost soul, friendless and family-less,
forced to sleep in the park
after his third foster parents threw him out.
He froze his little giblets off
one particularly cold midwinter's night.
Becoming one of us until...
Romy started disintegrating,
his blood and guts spilling everywhere he went.
- (PARTY POPPER FIRES) NIMROD: Blargh!
Just like Gonzo now!
Easy, 'Rod.
Hey! He was my friend!
My best friend.
And I had to watch.
I watched him disappear...
..piece by piece...
..until he was nothing but dust.
Gone.
Forever.
(ALL APPLAUD)
- (FUN KIDS WHOOP) FUN KID: Beautiful!
FUN KID: Yeah! FUN KID: Woo-hoo!
But why? Did he do something wrong?
Duh! Weren't you listening? He had no-one missing him.
No-one alive.
So when you're forgotten by the living, you...
Disintegrate.
- And will you all? - Disintegrate?
One day.
- Unless you pull a Kevin. - (ALL LAUGH)
And you're disintegrating now?
It started around Christmas.
My last relative must've died or something.
Que sera, sera!
But there must be something we can do.
It's just what happens. The park gives and it takes.
And we don't interfere.
We let ashes be ashes.
Got it?
DESTINEE: You'll come back, yeah? We didn't freak you out?
Freaky's good. There's just one thing.
I've been able to find out about all of you, except Remus.
There's no sign of him ever dying at the park.
Sure is a mystery.
Hey.
So I'll start writing the new chapter
if you start the sketches.
So you're not stressed out?
Like...at all?
- About what just happened? - No.
I mean, I wish we had my dragon to base it on
but it'll be sweet.
Friends for another day?
Yeah. Friends for another day.
Alright!
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
- There you are. - (HUMMING)
Excuse me.
Have you been at this school long?
(EXASPERATED SIGH)
Sweetie, I pre-date the Y2K bug.
What do you want?
Do you remember this boy?
Oh! Gonzo.
No.
Oh, but I do remember Donnie. Very charismatic young man.
Did the most dreadful Italian accent.
Big help.
Malina Vukovic, beloved mother of two,
survived by her youngest daughter, 30-year-old Asha.
- So? - So, Gonzo has a sister.
She was...three when he died.
Right, so...?
So she must've been influenced by him.
There must be some kind of hidden memory I can trigger.
Right.
You know you can't just contact her about this, right?
- The park has to stay a secret. - I know. I just need a plan.
Why are you doing this?
I like them.
If I can use my life privilege to make their deaths better,
why wouldn't I?
Hello?
Felicity?
(UNLOCKS DOOR)
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
I thought it would help us brainstorm.
Our new villain.
You went to my house?
- How's my mum? DESTINEE: Um...
- Let's get back to the game. - Yeah, she seemed cool.
Really?
Yeah. Really good.
The house was real...tidy.
I thought she was doing great.
No worries there.
Who said you could go to my house?
You can't just go there without me.
I thought I was using my privilege to make this better.
Come on. Let's party till we puke.
GONZO: Yeah, course I knew.
If you knew you had a sister, then why didn't you say?
We could've used her, try and made her remember you.
You've got a little something...
Oh, yeah.
These wriggly fellas love munching me lately.
She was a toddler.
- As if she'll remember me! - Are you sure?
Look where she works.
Asphodel FM?! I sent them so many demo tapes.
She's got a show!
Asha's Graveyard Shift.
She's become a DJ, like her big brother.
So cool!
What if we tried to stir a memory?
ASHA: Time for Asha's Mystery File,
where you send me audio
and I play it live without previewing it first
because I know you all...
(THROUGH PHONE) ..live for my live,
uncensored reactions.
Now, today, we have something labelled Barons of Regret.
(HEAVY ROCK MUSIC)
Oh, er, ugh, OK! Yep!
No, believe people when they tell you who they are.
(LAUGHS, COUGHS)
ASHA: I certainly regret ever clicking on that file.
She's funny.
ASHA: And now it's time for Agony Asha,
where you call in to share your woes with me,
the person least qualified to help you.
- Ready? - (LINE RINGING)
This is Asha. What's weighing you down?
VIOLETTA: Hi. I'm calling on behalf of a friend.
ASHA: Classic!
He hasn't seen his sister in almost 20 years
and he's worried she's forgotten him.
Any advice?
Ah, I guess...get over it! It's been 20 years.
Let it go!
A little harsh.
ASHA: Listen, I may shop vintage,
yeah, but I'm not the kind of person...
- (COMPUTER PINGS) - ..who lives in the...
- (CREEPY FUN PARK LAUGHTER) - ..past.
Who is this? Why are you calling?
Hey, Asha! DJ Little Star.
It's me, Gonzo! Remember our demos?
(STATIC AND GARBLED SOUNDS THROUGH HEADPHONES)
Sorry, listeners, I think we've just been prank called.
We'll keep trying.
Que sera, sera.
(TUTS) Ohhhh.
(CROW CAWS)
(SIGHS)
DJ: (OVER RADIO) Good mornin'!
You're listening to Asphodel FM, going strong since 1985...
Hi. I'm looking for a demo that would've been sent here.
Musician's remorse, hey? Filename?
Um, actually I sent it by mail.
Uh, over 20 years ago.
Um...it belonged to my uncle.
It's for a family memorial type thing.
I'm sorry for your loss,
but we don't exactly archive things here.
You don't digitise old demos?
(CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)
Look at this place!
We have to bring our own toilet paper.
So you just throw them in the bin?
Not exactly...
Knock yourself out.
(SIGHS) Here goes nothing. (SWITCHES ON DISCMAN)
VOICE: (ON DISCMAN) Hi, you're listening to Chelsea's demo,
90210 FM,
where we talk about all things Beverly Hills.
Let's start with Andrea Zuckerman...
- (CLEARS THROAT) - What are you doing here?
I thought I might put my, uh, life privilege to good use.
- Need help? - Desperately.
What is all of this?
Somewhere in here are the demos
Gonzo actually recorded with her.
If I can find it and play it to her,
hopefully they'll stir a memory.
It's for the tapes.
No way the '90s were as good
as they're trying to make us believe.
MALE VOICE: (ON DISCMAN) (SCOFFING) OK.
Wake me up when they invent electric cars.
Until then, here's a song I downloaded from Napster.
MS WIEST: (ON DISCMAN) So, yeah, I'm gettin' real personal today.
This track sums up my experience with heartbreak.
(WRY CHUCKLE) From a woman who knows.
MALE VOICE: (ON DISCMAN) What's this new book
everyone's on about, a boy at wizard school?
The author sounds like a real hatemonger.
- Yeah. I'm not reading... - (DISCS CLATTER)
- What time is it? VIOLETTA: Late.
If you're going to the park, you should go now.
Hey...
..what would you do if you found out
your mum was fine without you?
Why would you ask me that?
It's Mapplethorpe. I said something really stupid.
Violetta?
You OK?
Yeah. Fine. BRB.
(ASPHODEL FM CONTINUES BROADCASTING)
DJ: It's a great cause so make sure you show your support.
(BROADCAST CONTINUES)
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
Stop right there!
You volunteers get creepier and creepier.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't call security?
I'm here for Gonzo.
You're the person who called the other night.
I know it sounds strange, but I can explain.
Your brother needs help.
There's a demo here and if you find it...
Stop it!
This is sick! What the hell is wrong with you?
Leave my family alone, you sociopath.
- I do not need this. - DJ Little Star.
How do you know that?
Is he alive?
It's not that simple. He's...
Stop...talking...now.
No, wait!
VIOLETTA: Just find the tape in the room.
- It's for Gonzo. Just help him. CHESTER: That's enough.
VIOLETTA: She was remembering.
I was getting through to her!
You were about to ruin everything.
The park has to stay a secret,
or I might never see him again.
What about Gonzo?
Or does he not count 'cause he's not one of your BFFs?
Vi, Gonzo's gone.
Asha doesn't care about him anymore.
She still cares, Chester. She...
She cares.
- (SIGHS) Violetta! - See you tomorrow.
(SIGHS)
(OWL HOOTS)
(CREEPY ORGAN MUSIC)
ASHA: (ON RADIO) You're tuned in to Asha's Graveyard Shift
and, for better or worse,
you're stuck with me for another two hours.
VIOLETTA: Gonzo... ASHA: Lots to catch up on...
Sorry.
ASHA: ..I have a feeling tonight's Mystery Segment...
Another one bites the dust.
ASHA: ..a pretty memorable one. Until then...
- It's no big... - (ALL GASP)
ASHA: Pull the blanket over your head,
stick a torch under your chin,
and get ready for the spooky sound of local band...
- (JAW CRUNCHES) - ASHA: ..My Little Sister.
Gonzo.
Yeah, little bud?
Can I have your CD collection when you're gone?
Tigger!
We're sharing them equally.
- I really tried. - That's more than anyone else.
OK.
Here's the new chapter.
I did end up calling him Marco Polo in the end.
CHESTER: Hey, I never told you where I found him.
Wasn't he next to the TV?
No.
He was in your mum's room.
So was everything else you loved.
So you're the first thing that she sees
when she wakes up and...
..the last thing she sees before she goes to sleep.
(PENSIVE PIANO MUSIC)
What if Marco's tail spikes were poisonous?
What, like, deadly?
Yeah.
And if it hits you, you're out, in, like, three minutes flat.
Three seconds flat!
BOTH: Awesome!
(BOTH LAUGH)
For today's Mystery File Segment,
I'm doing something... more personal.
I'm listening to my past.
So this strange little girl got me thinking.
It's finally time to go through some of my mum's old things.
And when I did, I found a whole bunch of old tapes.
I don't know what's on this one.
Want to listen?
GONZO: (ON TAPE) Hey, hey, hey, welcome to Gonzo FM.
We're all about good vibes.
Hey, Asha. No...no, don't.
YOUNG ASHA: Ah, I'm a big girl.
Yeah, yeah! (YOUNG ASHA LAUGHS)
GONZO: OK, folks, looks like I'm being joined
by a new co-host - DJ Little Star!
What's our next track?
YOUNG ASHA: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
GONZO: Can't go past a classic.
Here it is, by popular demand.
BOTH: (SING) ♪ Twinkle, twinkle, little star
♪ How I wonder what you are
♪ Up above the world so high
YOUNG ASHA: ♪ Like a diamond in the sky
♪ Twinkle... ♪ - (WONDROUS MUSIC)
YOUNG ASHA: ♪ Twinkle, twinkle, little star
- ♪ How I wonder what you are. ♪ - (SIOBHAN GASPS)
GONZO: DJ Little Star... DJ Little Star...
FUN KID: My God!
- It worked! She's remembering! - You did it!
(SNIFFLES)
Wow. Um...
This is awkward! Huh. Whew!
Alright, let's, uh, let's drop a banger real quick
before I get properly emotional. (TURNS ON MUSIC)
KID PRISM: ♪ Do What You Feel
(ALL CHEER AND APPLAUD)
Did you know that we could do that?
- Reverse deterioration? - (FUN KIDS CHEERING)
- Of course. - (FUN KIDS CHEERING)
Where's Violetta?
Well, thanks for joining me for a very special show.
And to my very own medium...
..thank you.
Rest assured I'll never again forget my big brother,
Gonzo Vukovic.
And, hey, is there something that you're trying to forget...
..because you're scared it'll hurt?
Because tonight my advice is to dig that stuff out.
'Cause the memories that hurt the most
are the ones most worth saving.
