Thanks for coming out, and have a happy new year!

Whoo.

Man, I love Christmas in Miami.

I just wish Santa didn't wear shorts.

I can't believe this year's almost over.

Well, you know what they say.

"Time flies when you're having fondue."

Dez, it's fun.

It is fun. You can dip anything in cheese.

Broccoli, bread, my keys.

Those are my keys.

What a year.

Jimmy Starr signed me to Starr Records

and I released my first album.

And you still might get to live out your biggest dream.

Playing Times Square for New Year's Eve!

If Trish can pull that off, that'd be the best Christmas present ever.

- My best Christmas present was... - The fondue?

Nope. The fondue. Wait. Did you just say the fondue?

Then you were right.

Guess what I just did?

I booked Austin to play Times Square on New Year's Eve!

Ohh.

Man, Times Square on New Year's Eve.

A billion people are gonna be watching.

Now is probably a good time to finish that song.

Thanks for making this happen, Trish.

I better call to see what time they want Austin there.

Cheeri, call Times Square promoter.

Calling Tim's Square Pizza.

No. Not Tim's Square Pizza.

Tim's Square, what can I get you?

Sorry, wrong number.

No. It's Tim's Square Pizza.

Best square pizza in Miami.

Trish, right?

We spoke earlier when you booked Austin

to play here on New Year's Eve.

Hello? Trish?

Oh no.

Cheeri messed up.

I didn't book Austin at Times Square.

I booked him at Tim's Square Pizza.

Oh, that's horrible.

Since you have Tim on the phone,

could you order me a half mushroom, half surprise me?

So, I was thinking the song should be about chasing your dreams.

Since your dream's about to come true.

Oh. This all seems so unreal

like bigfoot, or those mythical

black and white striped horses.

You mean zebras?

Those are real.

Sure they are, Ally.

Anyway, I've been working on a melody.

Check it out.

Ally?

I need to talk to you in private.

It's okay. He can't hear anything.

Listen,

there's been a teeny, tiny mix-up.

Austin's not playing in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

- What? - You gotta tell him.

I mean, I'd do it myself, but I'm not here.

The song's good, but instead of chasing your dreams,

let's make it about your dreams finally coming true.

Like me and Times Square.

That would be a terrible idea.

Because...

The sad truth is...

A lot of people's dreams don't come true.

We shouldn't rub it in their faces.

Wow. Way to bum me out.

Besides, it's about the journey, not the destination.

What sounds better...

Sitting on a beach in Hawaii,

or sitting on a plane for 12 hours to get there?

Uh...

The beach part.

Clearly, you know nothing about dreams

or the fun of air travel.

Look, Ally, I don't want to write about the journey.

I want to write about how great it feels when you finally get there.

I mean...

Can you imagine what it's gonna feel like

when we finally get to Times Square?

Exactly! Oh, we're gonna be speechless.

So how did Austin take the news?

I didn't tell him.

Why?

Trish, I'm tired of you making messes

and expecting somebody else to clean them up.

What?

I don't do that.

Dez, clean that up.

Oh, my pleasure.

Dez, you don't have to do that.

And I don't have to sweep up the mall parking lot either.

But I do it because I care.

Okay.

Trish, you're Austin's manager.

You have to tell him he's not performing in Times Square.

I can't do that.

- Dez? - Don't look at me.

I can't break his heart again.

I'll never forget how upset he was

when I told him zebras weren't real.

Okay. Nobody's gonna have to tell him anything because I'm gonna fix this.

And Dez...

Zebras are real.

Oh, Ally.

Sure they are.

You distract Jimmy while I take his computer

and video chat the Times Square promoter.

Check.

He and Jimmy are old friends. He'll answer if he thinks I'm Jimmy.

And if your plan doesn't work,

Austin still has that great gig at the pizza place.

Here he comes.

What's so urgent you had to see me at 9:00 in the morning

on New Year's Eve?

Jimmy!

I have a business proposal that I think you're gonna want to hear.

My jet's waiting to take me to New York.

You got five minutes.

Right.

Cash flow, profit margin, market share

are three things I've heard businessmen say.

Three things I've never heard a businessman say...

Spatula, rubber ducky, Chimichanga.

Jimmy, my man.

Wait, what? Who are you?

Hi, Mr. Clarkson.

I'm Trish. Austin Moon's manager. Please don't hang up.

You're the girl who's left me 58 messages.

I know you have other acts booked for tonight,

but Austin only needs enough time to do one song.

Look, I love Austin's music.

I do. But...

Nobody brings it like Austin.

It'll be the most unforgettable New Year's Eve performance you've ever seen.

I do like unforgettable.

So...?

Fire, the automobile, the Internet

are three things that nobody knows how they work.

I know how all those things work.

What are you trying to sell me?

Well, that's a very good question.

I'm trying to sell you, uh...

Uh...

This briefcase.

Premium fake leather.

Pockets for business things.

I've already got a briefcase.

Well, this was a big waste of my time.

Okay. That's not your shoe sale scream.

And that's not your "I got all 'A's on my report card" scream,

'cause I've definitely never heard that one before.

That's your Austin Moon scream.

They just added him

to tonight's New Year's Eve show in Times Square.

Super. We will enjoy watching him

from the safety of our penthouse.

Jessie, we have to go see Austin perform in person!

Sorry, Emma, but I have other plans.

Like what?

Working on your same old new year's resolutions that you never keep?

"Improve my Spanish. Make it on Broadway. Marry a prince."

Uh, he doesn't have to be a prince.

Sultan will work.

I did it, Ally.

I booked Austin at the real Times Square tonight.

- Yes! - And I was this close

to selling Jimmy a briefcase.

- That's amazing. - I know.

It's got a calculator caddy, combination lock, eight pouches...

Not the briefcase. Times Square!

Trish, I knew you could do it.

Now all I have to do is just check on our flight.

Cheeri, is our 1:00 flight on time?

Your 1:00 flight left at 1:00 this morning.

This morning?

I wanted our flight for this afternoon.

You stink, Cheeri.

You stink.

We missed our flight?

Hey, guys, I'm ready. Times Square, here we come.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

Uh...

Ally has something she wants to tell you.

I'd do it myself, but I'm not here.

Ladies!

I got this.

Austin, there's no easy way to say this.

You're not performing at Times Square.

Hey, that was actually kind of easy to say.

I can't believe Trish messed up our flight.

I was so close to my dream.

I know you're bummed.

But take it from me, a guy whose dreams never come true.

It gets better? No, you'll never get over this one.

Maybe you were right, Ally.

I should be grateful for the year I've had.

It's the journey that counts, not the destination.

Forget that. It's the destination. I want to go to New York.

Great news.

I just got off the phone with my aunt who works for Coastal Air,

and you guys are on the next flight to New York.

Yes yes!

Oh!

What about you?

Oh, I'll be on the flight too.

Welcome aboard Coastal Air. I'm your flight attendant in training, Trish.

The captain has turned off the fasten seat belt sign

and you can now use electronic devices.

Although I don't recommend using Cheeri.

Excuse me, miss, it's there a pillow up there?

Oh, there is.

You look like Austin Moon.

That's 'cause I am Austin Moon.

You wish.

No, it's true.

Prove it. Dance.

I'm not gonna dance for you.

You're scared to dance 'cause you're not Austin Moon.

Please. I'm not scared of anything.

Except turbulence.

I knew you weren't Austin Moon.

Liar.

Uh, excuse me.

I left my ear buds in my bag.

Mind if I scoot past?

You go right ahead, dear.

Ow ow.

Ow. Hey.

- Excuse me. - Oh.

On second thought, I don't want to listen to music.

I want to read.

Uh...

Ow!

Um, excuse me.

Hello?

You've got to be kidding me.

Oh!

- Sorry. - Ow. Hey!

Sorry.

- Oh, sorry. - Hey!

Whoops. Sorry.

♪ Just an illusion ♪

There, now do you believe I'm Austin Moon?

Nope.

Excuse me.

- Whoa! - Oh oh.

Excuse me. Coming through.

Cheese and crackers.

Gotta go to the bathroom.

You mind if I scoot past again?

Yes! I do mind.

You're gonna hold it and like it!

Um, excuse me.

Would you mind if I sit there for a sec?

I need to talk to Austin.

Go ahead.

But just so you know,

he's not the real Austin Moon.

Poser!

Sorry.

Okay.

Thank you.

Whoo.

So? Are you nervous about tonight?

Not at all.

I can't believe a billion people are gonna be watching you.

Well, now I'm a little nervous.

I've been watching New Year's Eve in Times Square since I was a kid.

I remember those performers made me feel like I could do anything.

I want to make people feel the same way.

You will.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the captain has informed me we're experiencing minor mechanical troubles,

so instead of landing in New York,

we're being diverted to Philadelphia.

Sorry, Austin.

I'm gonna miss my show.

And I'm gonna miss my connecting flight to Mars.

What are we gonna do?

I'm supposed to be on stage in three hours.

It's not so bad. According to this map,

Philadelphia is only this far away from New York.

I'm sure we can travel this far in three hours.

We've come too far to give up now.

You can do anything. You're Austin Moon!

- No, he's not. - Zip it, kid.

Austin, I'm gonna find a way to get you to Times Square.

- How? - Hey.

I'm your manager. I'll figure it out.

When I start a job, I always finish it.

- Excuse me, miss? - No, sorry, I quit.

And the cab ride is now officially longer than the plane ride.

And my watch was stolen at the airport.

Is it too late to turn back?

Yes. We're already in Central Park.

We're gonna get to the show on time.

See, Austin? You were worried for nothing.

Whoa. Guys. That's a lot of money.

Do we have enough to cover it?

Let's put all of our money together.

- Oh, okay. - Yeah yeah.

Austin. Austin, you're on my purse.

- Here. - All right, I got...

- Okay. - I got some.

- Um... - Uh...

Uh, cover your eyes. I don't want you seeing where I keep my money.

It's secret.

Your secret hiding place is your wallet?

Shh! Don't tell anyone.

Excuse me, sir? Is this gonna be enough to get us to Times Square?

Well, I guess that wasn't enough.

I feel bad we couldn't tip him.

He's got our bags in the trunk.

Oh, good.

I feel better now.

Hey! I see the ball. We must be close.

Cheeri, how far away are we from Times Square?

1,283 miles.

Not Tim's Square Pizza!

Cheeri, you're useless.

Searching anger management.

Ouch.

Probably should go get that.

Come on, guys. Let's just make a run for it.

We can do this.

Jessie, can we please go see Austin Moon perform tonight?

Sorry, Emma. The answer is still no.

Times Square is filled with all sorts of crazy, rowdy people on new year's.

It's no place for a 14-year-old.

Ryan Seacrest is hosting the New Year's Eve telecast.

You might get a chance to meet him.

If anyone asks, you're 15. Let's go!

Uh, excuse me, officer. We need to get through.

Sorry, we're at capacity.

But he's Austin Moon.

Yeah! He's performing in 18 minutes and 23 seconds.

Well, if he's performing, I suppose I could just let him through.

- Really? - No.

No one else is getting through.

Come on, there's got to be another way.

Oh, sorry.

Shut up!

- Are you? - Yes, I'm Austin Moon.

But I'm not gonna sing or dance to prove it.

As you can see, she's a big fan.

I can no longer hear!

I'm Jessie, and this is Emma.

This is Ally, Trish, and Dez.

Hey.

So what are you doing down here?

Aren't you supposed to be performing up there?

Yeah, but that cop won't let us through,

and there's no other way for me to get up there.

Oh, Austin.

When you know rich people, there's always another way.

I never thought I'd be flying above New York City

in a helicopter on New Year's Eve!

I never thought I'd throw up in a helicopter.

But on a magical night like tonight, anything's possible.

This is amazing.

And the best part is you guys are here with me.

I'm so glad you feel that way.

Because I am never leaving your side.

Jessie, you rock.

You have your own helicopter, and you know how to fly it.

- Oh, I don't know how to fly it. - What?

Kidding. My boss would never lend me his helicopter if I didn't know how to fly it.

Oh.

It's Jimmy!

Trish, what's going on?

Where's Austin? He goes on in one minute.

One minute?

He'll be there, Jimmy. We're just about to land the helicopter.

You're in a helicopter?

Don't worry. It's being flown by a teenage nanny.

Gotta go.

Hey, there's the building.

Get ready, Austin. Tighten your seat belts, everybody.

We're going down.

Ally, is this really happening?

Believe it, Austin. It's real.

Just like zebras.

Hi, Ryan!

- That's Ryan Seacrest. - Ryan!

Ryan, I love you!

No, not you.

Not you. No, not you either.

Definitely not you.

Apparently there's a lot of guys named Ryan in New York.

But there's only one Austin Moon,

and I got his phone number!

What? How?

Wow. Rich kids will buy anything.

So, buddy, what's your next big dream?

To borrow a warmer jacket!

Man, New York is cold.

Whoo.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Oh, I started tearing up during your performance, and my eyes froze open.

Hmm.

Well, Austin, whatever your next big dream is,

just know I'm gonna be there for you.

Thanks, Trish.

Hey, how are we getting home?

I don't know. That's your problem.
