Synopsis

Transcript
The episode begins at Lily's house, where Lily, Sarah and Belle are.

"I can't wait for the picnic!" Lily said.

"I know! A chance to have some real fun!" Sarah said.

"Yep! I'll be at the entrance while I wait for you guys anyways, so we'll have a blast!" Belle said.

''Savannah's going to be there. We'll have to be cautious,'' Lily thought.

"Are you going to wear anything special?" Belle asked.

"Not really...just a braid, and that's really to keep my hair out of my eyes," Sarah said.

"Nothing exciting," Lily said.

"Probably just a braid as well," Belle said. "My mom likes when I do that."

"Cool! Braid buddies!" Lily said jokingly.

Cut to intro.

We may be dreaming, but we never sleep

Pocket shallow, but they still feel deep

We may borrow, but we play to keep

We are lions, though we may look like we're sheep

We have secrets that we never tell

But you can hear them if you listen well

The perfect grain, of sand on a beach

Is just out of sight, but not out of reach.

Like a siren in the dark

We are calling for that spark

From a new song, a new day, a new dawn

We will find the life that's been living underneath our eyes

Take a breath, it's time to let it go, leave it behind

So open your arms and call out your brand new name

Say goodbye to the yesterdays that owned us

Cause today is not the same.

Cause today is not the same.

Cut to school the next day.

"So this is how the picnic will look. The gym will have lots of activities. Outside will be the food and drinks, as well as a bounce house and outdoor seating," Mrs. Jones explained.

"Will the whole school be accessible?" Sarah asked.

"No, just the lobby, gym, and the bathrooms next to the gym."

The bell rang, which meant the students had to go to science class.

Cut to science class.

"Now today, we're going to inspect this butterfly. Pretty, huh?"

"Ooh," the whole class said.

"Yes, she is indeed. So, inspect. Make notes."

Lily wrote down her notes. However, science class was cut short.

"Attention students, today is a half day, which means classes are done. Report to your homeroom class for the rest of the day," Principal Gray said over the speakers.

In the halls.

"Oh, Hazel! We've been meaning to talk to you," Sarah said.

"About what?" Hazel asked.

"Sarah and I were helping Principal Gray when we found a note from Savannah. She's after certain students...including us. You too," Lily said.

"Don't worry, guys, the only time she'd actually attack is...oh no," Hazel said.

"Is when?" Sarah asked.

"During the picnic. I'm not going, but if you are, then be careful," Hazel said.

"Why is Savannah even after you?" Lily asked.

"I don't know," Hazel said.

Cut to Sarah's car.

"This picnic is going to be so fun!" I can't wait for everything to happen!" Sarah said.

"Yes. Your mother and I will be outside, at those benches. Come to us if you need anything," Mr. Walker said.

Sarah hopped out of her car and met Lily and Belle at the entrance.

"There you guys are!" Sarah said.

"Sarah! You're here! We almost went to get food without you," Lily said.

"Yep! Let's go!" The trio walked over to get food and drinks.

Meanwhile…

"Principal Gray? Do you have the keys to the gym?" Savannah asked.

"Yes, why?" Principal Gray said.

"I was wondering if I could borrow them. To make sure that the doors to the classrooms are locked."

"Oh! Of course." Principal Gray handed the keys to Savannah.

Savannah walked away. "Enjoy your picnic while it lasts, fools!"

Cut back to Lily, Sarah and Belle.

"Should we go in and fulfill some activities?" Lily asked.

"Sure!" Sarah said.

Inside, the girls were hanging out. They were playing some fake bowling, and Belle rolled a strike.

"Great job!" Lily said.

"Attention students and parents, could everyone please exit the gym as it is shutting down for a bit!" Principal Gray announced.

"Odd," Lily said. The three started to make their way to the exit but got caught in the crowd. Before they could leave, the door slammed shut on them, and the unmistakable figure of Savannah stood in front of them, locking the door and closing the curtains so no one could see inside.

"Welcome, classmates. Shall we let the festivities begin?"

"Savannah…" Lily growled.

Trivia

 * This marks the final time that Not The Same is used as the intro in Season 1.
 * Hazel has never wronged Savannah, which implies that Savannah has taken something personally that Hazel said.
 * Lily dubbing Sarah and Belle as "braid buddies" is a reference to an image Sisi once saw on DeviantArt called Bard Buddies.
