(music plays)

Against a yellow starry backdrop, the name of the show reads "Power up."

Greg stands at home.

Greg is in his twenties, with short brown hair and wears a blue TVO Kids T-shirt and a black cap backwards.

He says HEY, WHAT'S UP, TVOKIDS?
GREG HERE, AND YOU'RE HERE FOR A
GREAT
POWER UP
SESSION!
TODAY IT IS SUPERHERO DAY, AND
WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE WORLD
COULD USE SOME SUPERHEROES.
AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T HAVE
ANY ON THE SHOW RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL BUSY
SAVING THE WORLD,
BUT WE'VE GOT SOMEONE, UH,
WE'VE GOT A SIDEKICK,
SO WE'LL JUST SETTLE FOR HIM.
EVERYONE, PLEASE WELCOME LUCIUS.
HEY, LUCIUS!

Lucius, Lucas' evil second cousin, sits on a chair at home and says HEY, I'M HERE. BUT I'M NOT
A SIDEKICK, GREG.
I THINK YOU NEED TO
KNOW THAT.

Greg OH, REALLY? WELL, I-I THOUGHT
YOU WERE LAUREL'S SIDEKICK.

Lucius FINE, I'LL PROVE IT TO YOU.
WOULD A SIDEKICK FEED
LAUREL GRAPES
AS SHE'S WATCHING TV, HUH?

Greg UM, DEFINITELY.

Lucius OKAY, FINE. WOULD A SIDEKICK
HAND LAUREL HER TOOLS
EVERY TIME SHE NEEDS A TOOL WHEN
SHE'S DOING SOMETHING? HUH?

Greg A HUNDRED PERCENT. YES.

Lucius FINE, OKAY.
WOULD LAUREL-- FINE!
WOULD A SIDEKICK HOLD
LAUREL'S PURSE
WHILE SHE'S WALKING THROUGH THE
MALL AND SHE NEEDS SOMEONE
TO CARRY HER HEAVY THINGS?

Greg YOU DO THAT?

Lucius I'D LIKE TO TAKE BACK THE
QUESTION. FINE. LET'S CONTINUE.

Greg ALL RIGHT, WELL, TVOKIDS, MAKE
SURE THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE,
THAT YOU'RE ON A NON-SLIPPERY
FLOOR, AND PLEASE NOW WELCOME
SUPERHERO HEALTH AND PHYS-ED
TEACHER DENIECE!

A caption reads "Deniece. H and PE teacher."

Deniece is in her thirties, with curly brown hair in a bun and wears blue leggings and a blue T-shirt.

She says HI, TVOKIDS! I'M HAPPY
TO BE HERE.
AND I WANT TO
INTRODUCE MYSELF.
I'M A HEALTH AND PHYS-ED
TEACHER.
WHEN I'M NOT DOING THAT, I AM
AN AMBASSADOR FOR OPHEA,
WE GET ALL THE STUDENTS IN
ONTARIO MOVING,
WHICH IS OVER TWO MILLION
STUDENTS!
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO HELP YOU
BECOME THE MOST AMAZING
SIDEKICK TO SUPERHERO
INDIVIDUALS,
AND I'M GONNA GO THROUGH FIVE
MOVES WITH YOU, OKAY?
AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU
ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH,
PLEASE LOOK TO LUCIUS, THE
AMAZING SIDEKICK,
FOR MODIFICATIONS. HERE WE GO.
MOVE NUMBER ONE. WE ARE GOING TO
RUN ON THE SPOT
TO WARM OURSELVES UP. SIDEKICKS
HAVE TO COVER A LOT OF DISTANCE.
SO NICE AND LIGHT, THE BALLS OF
YOUR FEET. WE'RE RUNNING.
OKAY? LOOK TO LUCIUS, SEE HOW
HE'S USING HIS ARMS
AND GETTING LOTS OF GROUND.
YES! OKAY?
YOU CAN MOVE FASTER,
BRING THOSE KNEES UP
A LITTLE BIT.
LOOK AT GREG. NICE WORK, GREG!
QUICK, QUICK, QUICK, QUICK.
AND YOU CAN TAKE SOME BIG,
GIANT STEPS TO GET OVER
THE AREAS, THE MOUNTAINS. OKAY?

Lucius makes wider moves with his arms.

Deniece says NICE WORK! PHEW! FROM HERE,
WE NEED TO WARM UP JUST A LITTLE
BIT, SIDEKICKS.
WE NEED TO TOUCH OUR TOES,
JUMP UP, TOUCH OUR HEAD.
TOUCH OUR TOES, JUMP UP, TOUCH
OUR HEADS.
(LAUGHING)
TOES! I'M MIXING UP MY
TOES AND HEADS.
I'VE BEEN ON THE JOB
FOR TOO LONG.
PHEW! OKAY, TOES. JUMP UP, TOUCH
OUR HEAD.
PHEW!
TOES. REACH UP, TOUCH
OUR HEAD. AHH...
TOES. JUMP UP, TOUCH
OUR HEAD. PHEW!
KEEP GOING, YOU'VE GOT THREE
MORE OF THOSE.
JUMP UP, TOUCH YOUR HEAD,
STRETCH IT OUT.
GET READY TO MOVE AGAIN.
OKAY, SIDEKICKS, TVO SIDEKICKS,
YOU'RE GONNA PICK YOURSELF UP
USING A SQUAT MOTION
AND YOU'RE GONNA STRETCH. PHEW!
GO DOWN, COME UP, AND STRETCH.

Lucius touches his feet, then his head, and then stretches his arms up.

Deniece says SIDEKICKS HAVE TO CARRY
A LOT OF THINGS
FOR THE SUPERHEROES.

They go down, touch the floor and then stretch their arms.

Deniece says DOWN AND STRETCH. LUCIUS!
AMAZING.
WHAT HAVE YOU PICKED UP FOR YOUR
SUPERHERO LATELY?

Lucius I PICKED UP HER TOOLS FOR
TAKING OVER THE WORLD.
LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A LOT
OF THINGS THAT EVERYONE ELSE
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE.

(LAUGHING)

Deniece says PHEW. GREG, WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

Greg UH, I'VE GOT SOME-- I'M GETTING
SOME EXERCISE.
NICE! AMAZING! THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING.

Deniece says WELL, NOW LET'S DO OUR
JUMPING JACKS.
PUT YOUR FEET TOGETHER, HANDS
BY YOUR SIDE.
YOU'RE GONNA JUMP OUT AND CLAP
YOUR HANDS UP TOP.
BRING YOUR FEET AND HANDS BACK
TOGETHER AND DOWN.
OKAY? JUMPING JACKS! PHEW!
WE NEED TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE...
TO WORK WITH OUR SUPERHEROES.
YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO BEING
SUPERHEROES!
KEEP WORKING, LUCIUS!

Lucius moves his arms up and claps.

Deniece says CLAP! AT THE TOP, CLAP.
YES! GREG, KEEP GOING. YOU ARE
LOOKING AMAZING.
IF BY CHANCE, ON YOUR WAY TO
BEING A SUPERHERO
YOU NEED A BIT OF A BREAK,
WHAT YOU CAN DO
IS JUST TAP ONE FOOT OUT
TO THE SIDE.
DO THAT FIVE TIMES, AND THEN
SWITCH TO THE OTHER SIDE.
OKAY? YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT
ONE MORE ROUND
WHILE I GET US READY FOR OUR
LAST EXERCISE, OKAY?
HERE WE GO, TVOKIDS!
YOU ARE GOING TO GO FROM
SUPERHERO SIDEKICK
TO SUPERHERO WITH A JUMP
AND A TWIST TO CELEBRATE. YEAH!
A JUMP, AND A TWIST TO
CELEBRATE. YEAH!
OKAY. YOU CAN JUMP OVER TO THE
SIDE, YOU'RE GONNA TWIST.
I AM A SUPERHERO!

Lucius moves his arms up and down and twists his core.

Deniece says JUMP! YES, LUCIUS! TWIST.
I AM A SUPERHERO!
NOT SUPER SIDEKICK!
BUT SUPER SIDEKICKS ARE
PRETTY AMAZING,
SO I THINK I'M GONNA STAY AS
A SUPER SIDEKICK,
I WANT TO JOIN. READY? TWIST!

Lucius I WOULD KNOW, IT'S LIKE...

Deniece says YES, HERE WE GO! TWIST!
CELEBRATE WITH YOUR REACHING,
TWISTING ALL AROUND!
GET YOUR CORE MOVING. YOU'VE GOT
THREE MORE OF THOSE,
AND WE'RE GOING TO WRAP IT UP.
YOU KEEP GOING, AND I'M COMING
IN TO SAY
WOW, THAT SIDEKICK
POWER UP
WAS
AMAZING, TVOKIDS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING ME
AND LUCIUS, GREG, I'M OFF TO
DRINK SOME WATER.
HAVE A GREAT ONE. BYE, TVOKIDS!

Greg THANK YOU, DENIECE! YOU TRULY
ARE A SUPERHERO,
AND LUCIUS, I GOTTA HAND
IT TO YOU.
SEEING HOW AMAZING YOU DID IN
THIS
POWER UP
MAKES ME THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU
ARE A SUPERHERO AFTER ALL,
AND YOU AND LAUREL ARE ON THE
SAME PLAYING FIELD.

Lucius YOU FINALLY REALIZED WHAT I'VE
KNOWN ALL ALONG.
THAT'S RIGHT, GREGORY. I'M THE
MOST POWERFUL SUPERVILLAIN
IN THE WORLD! BUT I HAVE TO GO,
BECAUSE MY CAKE IS DONE
AND I'M GOING TO BRING IT TO
LAUREL SO SHE HAS IT
FOR HER FIRST MEAL OF THE DAY.
GOODBYE.

Greg UH...
