Episode 488 (Vicious Avi!)

Plot
Avi becomes a mean little fish boy!

Story
(The episode begins in a different preschool. The Little Guppies are playing around.)

Tobias: "Hey, Jonesy! Joshua! Look at this!"

(Tobias juggles six erasers.)

Joshua: "Woah! How did you do that?! By magic?!"

Tobias: "No, dumb head! I'm attempting to juggle erasers!"

Ashlie: "You know, Tobias, you don't have to get so ticked off at Joshua just because he's the dumbest kid in our class. He's just...you, know...dumb."

Tobias: "I know, Ashlie, I know! Joshua is a bit annoying because he is dumb!"

Jimberly: "Don't say that, Tobias. Being dumb is what Joshua is."

Tobias: "You know what? I'm gonna go play with my toy firetruck."

Jonesy: "Can I play too?"

Tobias: "Yep. And Joshua....you can come play with us, too."

Joshua: "Yay! Cars!"

Tobias: "No, Joshua. We're playing with trucks, not cars."

(Avi was alone at the table, drawing ducks. Ashlie comes by.)

Ashlie: "What are you drawing, Avi?"

Avi: "Ducks."

Ashlie: "Ooooh, that's great."

Jimberly: "Ducks?! I like how ducks go "quack quack"!" (laughs) "It's fun to act like a duck!"

Ashlie: "Hey, Olivia! What are you up to?"

Olivia: "Uhhh....just...reading..."

Jimberly: "Alrighty, then. Ashlie, come an ---"

(Joshua suddenly comes zooming around, and knocks Avi out of his seat. His drawing was messed up.)

Ashlie (gasp): "Joshua, careful! Oh no, Avi! Your picture!"

Avi: "What?!"

Joshua: "Sorry. Hey, give me that crayon!"

(He grabs a red crayon and scribbles on Avi's drawing.)

Avi: "What are you doing?!"

Joshua: "Uhhh...." (puts the crayon down) "Nothing...bye!" (swims away)

Avi (stifling with tears): "Joshua....Joshua....messed up...my drawing..."

Jimberly: "Oh, Avi. You can always draw another picture..."

Avi: "But...I..." (sniff) "I....I...worked so hard on this..."

Jimbery: "Avi...it's okay..."

Avi (deeply, in anger): "No...it's not okay!"

Joshua: "Hi, Avi! Oooh, what's wrong with your face? Why are you turning red?"

Avi: "Because you ruined my picture!!!"

Joshua: "What picture?"

Avi: "MINE!!!"

Mrs Grouper: "What's happening?"

Joshua: "I don't know, but ---"

Mrs Grouper: "Joshua, I'm talking to Avi..."

Avi (angry): "Joshua...ruined...my...picture!!!"

Mrs Grouper: "Now, Avi. You can be mad, but you gotta control it somehow."

Avi: "NO! I'm just so mad, I could just...just..."

(Avi forcefully tackles Joshua down to the floor and repeatedly slaps him in the face. Joshua began crying loudly.)

Mrs Grouper: "Avi, please! Just because you're mad at Joshua doesn't mean you have to attack him like that."

Avi: "But he ruined my drawing."

Mrs Grouper: "I know, but if you're mad at him, you have to tell him why you're angry. Joshua doesn't understand why you hit him."
