03x12 - The Royal Treatment

[bunniefuu]

Whoa, Rae.

Seriously whoa.

I did outdo myself
if I do say so myself.

Now, you know
everybody's gonna be talking

about this little
getup right here.

Well, if they have to talk,

they might as
well talk about moi.

Or him.

They're not talking about him.

They're laughing at him.

Well, that's not nice.

Excuse me, people.

Hey, how y'all doing?

I know y'all are not having a
fashion problem in this area,

'cause y'all should
not be talking.

You last-season shoe wearing,


vest with a
undershirt, and you...

I will call you when shoulder pads
come back, ok? Which is never!

Good-bye.

Thank you. That was very brave.

Not unlike a mother lion protecting
her young from a pack of hyenas.

Ok... no problem. No problem.

Um, you look good.
All right? No worries.

Thank you. So do you.

Thank you. I'm Raven.

I am tendaji... an exchange
student from the country of shakobi.

Shakobi, wow. Well,
nice to meet you, tendaji.

These are my best
friends Eddie and Chelsea.

Wassup wit it? Who hit it?

Welcome to america.

You can chill with
us after school.

Chill? Are you expecting
a drop in temperature?

No, no, no, no.

Um, enjoy each other's company.

Then chill it is.

Ok.

Thank you, Raven, and for
your kindness, I have a gift.

Would you accept this feather?

A feather.

Here's a feather.

Sure. I've never really
gotten a feather before.

I am very pleased to hear that.

He gave you a feather, Rae?

Ooh ooh ooh.
Raven got a feather.

Chels, it's just a feather.

It doesn't mean anything.

Yes, yes. She has
accepted the sacred feather.

Raven, thank you for inviting me

to your lovely home.

Yeah, now see,

this is what we
mean by chillin'.

Bingo b*mb?

It is golden and... Spongy.

And filled with a sweet,
creamy-like substance.

It is a miracle.

What is in this?

Oh, uh, nah, homey,
you do not wanna know.

Hi, kids.

Hey, mom.

I want to introduce
you to my friend tendaji.

He's an exchange student.

Tendaji, meet my mother.

You wish me to meet your mother.

This is a great honor.

Well, how very
sweet of you, tendaji.

So, from where are
you exchanging?

I am from the
country of shakobi.

Shakobi. How interesting.

I would love to hear all about
your history, your customs,

your natural resources...

ok, mama. Mama, buh-bye.

Ok, ok.

Sorry.

Now that I have met
the mother of Raven...

Would you accept this... Shell?

Uh-huh, uh, yeah.

I'll accept the shell.

I can put it next to my feather.

As you should.

Now I must leave.

This day has been as miraculous

as a cream-filled bingo b*mb.

Bye.

Ooh, Raven got a shell.

Man, Rae, I think he likes you.

Chels, it's a
feather and a shell.

I mean, how serious could it be?

It has become serious.

She has introduced
me to her mother.

Yes. So I offered
her the seashell.

Yes, father. I
know the next step.

Ok, Lionel. Before we
check out the contest results,

I want you to remember
that winning isn't everything.

We won! We won! We won! We won!

I lied, Lionel. Winning is
everything! Big ball hug!

We won?

What did we win?

Actually, Lionel won.

I sent in his picture,

and he was voted
most photogenic rat.

Are you serious?

What'd he win? A
little ball of cheese?

No... A big ball of cheese,

and his picture is gonna be on
the cover of rat style magazine.

They have a magazine for rats?

Mm-hmm.

What do you do, read
it or line his cage with it?

Have fun now, dad.

But one day when
Lionel's famous,

he's gonna have the last laugh.

Delivery for Raven Baxter.

My brother.

It's from tendaji.

He says it's a shakobian custom

that this gift be
delivered to you

by your closest friends.

Ooh...

I hope it's not a
box of feathers.

It's wrapped so beautifully,

I'd hate to, you
know, mess it up.

I know.

Now this is the kind
of gift I'm talkin' about!

Ooh, Raven got a dress.

And look at the bling-bling.

Boy, if I was ever going
to wear a dress, ha...

I-i-I'm not gonna even
finish that sentence.

Go on, take your dress now.

Mom, look at this fabulous
gift tendaji sent me.

Oh, it's gorgeous. Give it back.

What? Why, mom?

Honey, you cannot
accept this dress.

It's way too extravagant.

Yeah, Rae, it is is
way better than that

feather and shell he got you.

He gave you other gifts?

Well, mom, kind of. I
wouldn't really call 'em gifts,

more like stuff you could,
you know, find on a beach.

Well, he did not find
this outfit on a beach.

He's obviously very
serious about you,

and if you accept these things,

you're gonna be giving
him the wrong message.

Well, what about if I give him
back the feather and the shell

and I keep the dress?

Raven, pack up the
dress and take it back.

Ok, Lionel. Give me some good.

Give me some bad.

And give me some ugly.

How can you tell the difference?

Tsk tsk tsk. Who said that?

Was that you?

I can't work with
this man in the room.

Dad, don't laugh
in front of Aldo.

He is the top rodent
photographer in the world.

Say no more. If you need me,

I'll be out laughing
in the hallway.

Sorry, Aldo. I guess my
dad thinks this is all silly.

Silly? I've been
photographing rats for 20 years.

And believe me,

Lionel has the whole package.

Silky whiskers, beady eyes,

and a tail that just won't quit.

I've always known that.

Trust me. Lionel's
gonna be huge.

Remember, son,

rats spelled backwards is star.

Bye, my beautiful dress.

You're doing the
right thing, Rae.

I know.

Yeah, Rae, it doesn't matter

that it's the most
beautiful, gorgeous,

breathtaking dress you'll
ever wear in your entire life.

Do you want me to pack
you in this box as well?

All hail prince tendaji.

All hail prince tendaji.

Oh, my goodness!

You are never gonna
believe what I just saw.

Tendaji... He's a prince.

For real?

For reals for reals.

Wait a minute. If he's a prince,

then you're like,
you know, cinderella.

I mean, come on. All you need is

for someone to
come up to your door

and ask you to the ball.

Wow.

From prince tendaji.

It's an invitation.

He's throwing a
party at the embassy.

Oh, my gosh,
it really is a ball!

Hey, hey. This must've been
the party that I saw in my vision,

and let me tell ya,
the party, it was on!

That's gonna be so much fun.

Wait a minute. Too
bad you can't go.

Huh? Why can't I go?

'Cause your mama said

that you got to
return that dress.

Oh, uh, I can return the dress

after I party with the prince.

Man, I can't believe
Raven lied to her mom

about returning that dress.

Technically, she didn't lie.

She's gonna return the dress.

She's just gonna
party in it first.

Where is Raven?

Did she go to return that dress?

Well... Technically.

What she means, Mrs. B, is, um,

that Raven and
the dress both left.

That's good...

Because I was doing some
research on the Internet.

It turns out
tendaji is a prince.

No... It's true,
and in his country,

accepting a feather,
a shell, and a dress

is a promise to be married.

No!

If she'd accepted that dress,

she'd be on her way to
her wedding right now.

Raven's gonna walk
into her own wedding.

I know. Some best friend.

She didn't even ask
me to be a bridesmaid.

Forget about that.
We gotta go save Rae.

Cory, big news.

Rat style magazine
loved the pictures,

and get this... they
want to sign Lionel

to an exclusive contract.

Yes!

You heard that, buddy?
You're gonna be a star! Yes!

Ok, now let's talk
about the do-re-mi.

Oh, there will
be plenty of that.

Could you be a little
bit more specific?

The dollar amount of the offer

will be roughly in
this neighborhood.

Ooh. I'd like to live
in that neighborhood.

Baby, you've got
yourself a deal.

When our future
Princess arrives,

as our tradition commands,

her feet must never
touch the ground.

Hey, hey. It is on!

Don't... ok, going up.

Y'all definitely know
how to treat a guest.

Thank you, but I could've
walked up the stairs.

Ok. Guess we're going down! Ah.

Yep. I like this seat a
lot better. Y'all were right.

Oh... is that?

I love accessories.

Let me help you
out, homey. All right.

Oh, that's really good.

You can keep those
coming. I like them.

I am dikembe.

The shakobian ambassador.

And I am Raven.

Yes, I know.

We have been waiting for you.

Let the bell of welcome ring.

The actual bell has not
yet arrived from shakobi.

It's ok. I still feel welcomed.

Excellent.

Then let the dance begin.

Luckily, they have
arrived from shakobi.

Mmm, I'm liking this.
Give me another grape.

Psst... Rae.

What are you guys doing here?

And why are you
dressed like that?

You ain't from shakobi.

Rae, we came
down here to tell you

this is not a party,
it's a wedding.

A wedding?

Oh... I love weddings.

I hope I don't cry.

Oh, you gonna cry all right,

because this is your wedding,
and you gonna be the bride.

Raven's gonna be what?

Look, all of those gifts were
tendaji's way of proposing to you, Rae.

See, Rae? I told
you he liked you.

Yes, and since
you put on the dress

and came down
here, you accepted.

Why didn't I listen to my mommy?

Presenting the new
official currency of shakobi...

The Raven.

Ooh.

So what do you think
of the contract, dad?

Looks like Lionel's gonna be
making some serious cheddar.

Yeah, I always knew that
rat was gonna be a star.

Dad, you were laughing
at the whole thing.

Well, now I'm laughing
all the way to the bank.

Thanks to Lionel, we can go on that
Hawaiian vacation we always wanted.

White sand, clear, blue water,

pineapple juice
in a coconut cup.

Mmm... Mama like.

Ok, son, just sign right there.

All right.

Well, we're off to
Paris. Ooh la la.

Uh, Paris? Mm-hmm.

It's the first stop on
our 2-year world tour.

We'll send you a postcard.

Au revoir, Lionel.

Or should I say aloha?

I'll just need that
signed contract.

Cory, Cory.

The deal's off.

What?

What?

I'm sorry, but Lionel's
my best friend.

I thought money
was your best friend.

Now, Victor.

It sounds like Cory's
made up his mind.

No matter what mama like.

This is why I won't
work with humans.

Where in the world's tendaji?

Look, I don't know, Rae,
but you can't wait any longer.

We gotta get you
out of here, girl.

Ok, um. You go check to
see if the coast is clear, ok?

And, Chels, you check
the other exit over there.

Oh, oh, you guys,
it's ok. I can walk.

Oh, I'm... ok, or I can ride
on the little train. It's cool.

Up, up, up, up, up!

All hail prince tendaji.

Just like my vision.

All hail prince tendaji.

And all hail our next Princess.

Princess Raven.

All hail Princess Raven.

No, no. No, hey, shh.

Shh, people, shh. Not necessary.

My Princess.

Uh...

Yeah, we gotta talk about
this Princess situation.

Yes, but first, we dance.

What?

Oh, ok!

Um, ok, no! Follow the prince.

You know who the prince is.

Ok, speed bump.

This is parallel, people.
We're getting... oh, ok.

I'm not really dancing
like I should be,

so maybe we should
slow it down a little bit.

Can't get it right.

To the marriage altar.

No, fellas, this is my stop.

Aah!

Ok, I'm sorry.

Ohh... Stop! Stop!

Ok, nice catch, fellas.

Princess-to-be, are you ok?

Tendaji, man, we've gotta talk.

We will have plenty of time
to talk after the wedding.

No, there's not
gonna be a wedding.

Huh? What? Why not?

I think you're great.

You're nice, you're sweet,

and, dude, you're like a...

You're like a total prince.

It's true. I am a total prince.

But I'm too young.

If I'd have known what all
those gifts would've meant,

I would've never led you on.

I'm sorry.

It is I who should
apologize to you.

In my country, we believe
in marriage at first sight.

Oh. I guess our customs

are pretty different then, huh?

I'm sorry I ruined our wedding.

Hope you'll forgive me.

Can we still be friends?

Of course.

And even if we are not married,

you will always be my Princess.

Gonna like staying friends.

All right, boys. You
can let me down now.

Uhh, uhh, uhh.

Uhh, uhh.

Raven!

Your feet have
touched the ground.

W-Why? Is something
wrong with the ground?

Only in the sense that you
have disgraced our entire country.

In order to remove our shame,

we must now ceremoniously
shave your head.

Shave my head?

Please, please,

please don't shave
my head, please.

Ok, I'm only joking.

The wedding is off,
but the party is on.

I don't have my bell, anyway.

Everybody dance.

See, now that my
feet are on the ground,

I'll show y'all how Americans
get down. Hook it up!

Hook it up!

Yeah, Chels, after I
got back from the party,

I was so grounded.

My parents were so mad
about me sneaking out

and almost getting married.

Anyway, I had to return
all of tendaji's gifts,

including the wedding dress.

But, um... There is one gift
I'm gonna keep for a while.

Uh, anyway, I gotta
go. I'm getting hungry.

Ok, girl, I'll talk
to you later. Bye.

Fellas, Kitchen.

I could get used to this.
