- ( music playing ) - ( fireworks popping )

This is the perfect date.

I can’t believe you brought us to Paris.

We’ve waited so long, I just wanted everything to be perfect.

It’s just like the movies.

Oui, mon cherie.

I just want this moment to last forever.

- Cut! Let’s do it again. - Are you guys for real?

That was the 13th take. I’ve got soccer practice.

If they like each other so much,

why’s it so hard for them to kiss?

This scene needs to be perfect.

Like in the movie "Titanic."

Stop. First of all,

it’s not a movie, it’s a film.

And sometimes you just gotta let go, Jack.

Do you really want to spend your whole summer in boring Attaway?

Fine, but this better be the last take.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everyone in their places.

- Lights, camera, and... - Action!

( music playing )

I seriously hope we can perform at the Spring Fling.

Hope? Have some faith.

We’re gonna crush auditions later.

Yeah, but only one group gets to perform.

What if PowerSurge beats us again?

Don’t even go there.

More importantly, who are we gonna ask to the dance?

Henry betrayed me. Miles skipped town.

A good man’s hard to find.

Never not dramatic.

I think it’s kind of cool we get to ask the guys.

Is it? Now that Tim and I are over, who am I even gonna ask?

Honestly, for our sake, end this madness.

- Please, please, just ask TK. - TK?

Well, I guess it would be pretty amazing to go to a dance together.

I mean, I’d wear a new dress

and he’d bring me a corsage,

and we’d dance the night away.

- And then maybe... - Maybe what?

The night would end with our first kiss.

- Wow. - Great, Rhyme.

You’ve never kissed someone before?

- Oh, like you have. - Do you guys ever feel like--

I don’t know how to explain it,

like anything’s possible?

Uh, sure.

Like I’m dancing on the ceiling.

Rhyme, that’s physically impossible.

- Pull of gravity. - Kayla, it’s a metaphor. You know, for feeling alive?

- Exactly. - ( music playing )

But I always sing in the hallways, so...

Not anymore. No, you don’t. Unh-uh.

Everyone, get back to class.

Okay.

( clicks tongue )

( murmuring )

Oh, that was really weird.

( school bell rings )

( no audible dialogue )

Who was that nasty woman?

I heard she’s the new history teacher.

She looks more like a math teacher to me.

Ugh, I hate math.

You guys get your dates to the dance yet?

We have so many dates,

we don’t know what to do with all our dates.

Whatever you say.

First we’re gonna smoke you guys at auditions,

then we’re gonna show you how to dance with boys.

Boys? What boys?

I always thought that TK was pretty cute.

Excuse me? You stay away from my little bro.

And stay away from our stage.

We’ll be the ones performing.

We’ll see, chicken heads.

Chicas, chicos. Atención.

Class begins now.

If we’re gonna talk about this dance,

at least do it in Español.

Can I have the hall pass?

- In Español. - Puede dar...

el pasa...

- de... - It’s okay.

- Just go. - Macho gracie.

He’s so cute.

All they do is talk about this dance.

Not a single mention of academics.

You got it, boss.

So, I was thinking maybe after school we could reshoot?

We’re not done filming this movie yet?

It’s called a film.

What about playing ball? You’re gonna get so rusty.

- Not today. - Lame.

Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for art,

but you wouldn’t understand.

- Why wouldn’t I? - Because you’re Ace.

All you care about is sports, girls, and parties.

- I do love parties. - See?

Whoa, you’re Flash.

All you care about is playing "Minecraft" and animated "JIFs."

GIFs. With a G.

- Nerd with an N. - Jerk with a J.

Guys, no wonder y’all haven’t been asked to the dance.

Chill out, TK, we’re fine.

Seriously, last time I checked,

you didn’t have a date either.

( school bell rings )

- ( laughing ) - Shh.

♪ You gave me up

♪ But I’m moving on... ♪

Psst. Miss Noisy, this is a library.

- Oh, sorry. - All right.

Your singing’s beautiful, it’s just hard to concentrate.

Concentrate on what?

Studying. It’s what we do in school.

Right, I just get a little lost in the clouds sometimes.

Well, if you need help coming back down to Earth, just let me know.

Okay, listen, buddy.

- Davis. - Davis. Right, Davis.

You’re-- you’re cute and you’re smart and all,

but if you’re just helping me with my homework to get invited to the dance,

you should know I’m going by myself this year.

- What dance? - Uh, hello? The Spring Fling?

Oh, I don’t really go to dances.

Okay, well, good to know.

Let’s get back to those poly...

- Nomials. Yeah. - ...nomials.

So, what you want to do is get to X...

We’re making a love story set in Paris.

Two Americans abroad and in love,

total "Casablanca" vibes.

- Casa what? - "Casablanca."

Only the best film ever made.

TK models all of his shots after it.

Is TK a good director?

Better than good. He’s perfect.

Not a single thing out of place.

I gotta go, but, Rhyme, I can tell

this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

TK wants perfect.

Not a single thing out of place.

Perfect.

Not a single thing out of place.

So, have you asked anyone to the dance yet?

Not yet, but I’m vetting some potential candidates.

Why do the girls always ask the guys out here?

It’s a town tradition.

The first baby ever born was a girl. Sally Attaway.

- How’d you know that? - Because I’m actually

the ghost of Sally Attaway.

Boo! JK.

My mom’s the town historian.

Look, I gotta go. Text me?

Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

Yes.

Random question.

Do you know if anyone’s asked Flash to the dance?

Maybe definitely nobody’s asked Flash to the dance.

- Why? - Just asking for a friend.

Which friend? Do I know them?

Ellie: Do you guys want to celebrate at the arcade tonight?

Rooney: Don’t count your chickens.

Even if we do beat PowerSurge,

- I’ve got a stupid family dinner. - It’s not stupid!

You’re just saying that ’cause your mom makes us eat her gross beef casserole.

Oh, yeah? Well, it’s better than your dad’s tofu stir fry.

And he makes us put our phones away at the table.

I know you guys are stepsisters, but you fight like blood relatives.

Buenos dias, everyone.

Now, as you know, we are looking for uno act

to perform at this year’s Spring Fling.

So... ( chuckles )

...show us what you got.

Oh. I’m sorry. I messed up.

- ( strumming ) - Nope.

Nope. Aww, I-- I give up.

All right, next up. Let’s go, Ace.

Excuse me.

Dude, why are you suddenly everywhere?

Have you procured the proper permit

to film on school grounds?

You’re gonna have to shut this camera off if not.

Actually, follow me.

Muy bien, estudiantes.

Nice job, students.

Okay, and the winner is...

PowerSurge!

And the Attaway Dance Team.

It was a tie,

so you will perform together.

- Um, nocomprendo. - This is unacceptable.

Yeah, it never made sense why we have two dance teams, anyway.

So, problem solved. You dance together.

Uh, major problemo, Señor. We demand a recount.

Well, I’m the only voter,

and I declare it is a tie.

Listen, mister, we want to speak to your boss.

( gasps ) To my boss?

Be my guest.

( laughs )

Don’t worry! I got this, Luna!

- Where’s the principal, Journey? - Come this way.

TK, why are you filming here?

I don’t know.

Principal Mathers is having his wisdom teeth out.

But isn’t he, like, 50?

He is very wise.

Well, then, who can we talk to?

Woman: Ladies?

That nice lady.

Well, if it isn’t Attaway Dance Team

and PowerSurge.

Your reputations precede you. How can I help you today?

PowerSurge performs every year.

PowerSurge went last year, and we’re better.

They don’t even have a real name.

We are called the Attaway Dance Team.

- Ladies! - And we’re way better than them.

- Shut your traps! - Thank you, Sheldon.

Now, it has come to my attention that here at Attaway,

there’s a lot of dancing and singing and prancing.

Yeah, duh.

Well, there is a new sheriff in town.

- Ma’am. - Yes?

- It’s showtime. - Oh, right.

Let’s do this, gentlemen.

- And-- - Don’t worry about that.

I’ve got it. And, action.

Attention, Attaway students.

My name is Principal Anthony,

and I would like to welcome you

to a new dawn, a new day.

We are on the brink of an academic revolution,

and I will be your fearless leader.

Thank you, Sheldon.

Your national test scores are despicable,

to put it lightly. Oh, my goodness.

Are they really that low? We certainly can’t have that.

If you children can’t prove to me

that academics comes first here at Attaway,

then I’m gonna be forced to make some very strict rules.

She better not start making us wear uniforms.

The girls would also do well to remember

that skirts must come down to the knee,

and no ripped jeans.

- ( groaning ) - Don’t worry, Rooney.

You’ll look beautiful in any kind of jeans.

Study up, and remember,

you have been forewarned.

Sheldon, get out of here.

Oh, wait. Hey, Tim.

- Heard Rhyme dumped you. - Thanks for reminding me.

Anyone ask you to the dance yet?

- Nah. - Good to know.

Maybe you could help me study?

I guess getting good grades is a big deal all of a sudden.

Uh, sure.

( music playing )

How’s your movie coming along?

- It’s actually-- - A film.

Yeah, I know. Flash told me.

I’m just trying to get some extra shots while the light is perfect.

You’re really into things being perfect, huh?

The smallest detail can ruin the entire scene.

That’s why doing things yourself is great,

because you can get things just right.

Just right. Gotcha.

Hey, I got a couple shots around town.

- You want to come along? - Sure.

- Can you grab this? - Yeah.

- Catch me if you can. - No, way! TK!

- Hey, you’re too slow. - Not fair!

( music continues )

( no audible dialogue )

( no audible dialogue )

Thanks for letting me tag along. It was really fun.

Yeah, we got some great B-roll.

It’s really gonna help with my application.

Application? To what?

Oh, nothing important. I better go back for dinner.

Good night, Rhyme.

Good night.

Señor Singer! We need to speak.

Oh, hello.

Oh, my.

- Can I help you? - Yes.

Um, here’s-- I hear

that in addition to being a Spanish teacher,

you’re also in charge

of the performance arts around here

that all the kids are obsessed with?

And your point is?

Oh, well, they need to focus on their studies.

I’d be happy to have you over for dinner,

maybe a little sangria.

We could discuss my-- my plans.

Look, if the kids study all the time, they’ll go crazy.

- They are young. They have passion. - Mm-hmm.

Oh, what they have is a tough economy and lousy test scores.

Well, maybe if you had a little more passion in your life,

you’d understand.

Sheldon, come on!

Oh, I’m so mad. I’m gonna-- I’m gonna...

- Good stuff. - Sheldon, does it look like

anyone is studying here?

( vocalizing )

No, ma’am.

That girl, she appears to be singing again.

Hmm. I’m fed up with this.

Yes, I see that. They’re all having fun over there.

He is a cucaracha.

( school bell rings )

Girls, let’s go!

- Shotgun! - No way!

You had front yesterday.

It’s my dad’s car. Get in the back.

You’re the worst.

You know, that study session was actually pretty helpful.

The world is round. Who knew?

Hey, if you start walking now,

you might get back here by Friday.

Very funny.

Same time, same place tomorrow?

You bet.

I totally thought Kayla wanted to ask me.

I feel you, bro.

She texted me the other day and I didn’t reply.

I didn’t know what to say.

"Hey." "Hi." "’Sup?"

They’re all so different.

Are you serious right now?

What if I say the wrong thing

and she never wants to talk to me again?

See, that’s your problem.

You need to stop thinking like you

and start thinking like me.

- And that means? - Well, first of all,

you’re always supposed to wait

at least three hours before responding.

Really?

Yeah, bro, you gotta play it cool.

Say that you’re hanging out with some girls or something.

But I’m not hanging out with girls.

Oh, boy. You’ve got a lot to learn.

Sheldon: Are you sure about this, ma’am?

I’ve never been more certain of anything in my entire career.

- Flash just texted me! - No one cares.

Ruined the moment. Great.

You know, it’s so, so liberating, really,

to be free of boy drama./

Like, Davis was just telling me on the phone last night...

How am I gonna ask TK to the dance? He wants perfect.

Flash and Kayla. Flayla or Klash?

Anyone would clash with that dweeb.

You guys? What is going on?

Having observed your carefree attitudes

and overheard your incessant singing,

I have decided to cancel this year’s Spring Fling.

No!

And instead, I’m instituting

a practice test for the state exam.

You may call it a test test.

That has a nice ring to it, ma’am.

Thank you, Sheldon.

For all of you students who have lined up

a hot date for this year’s Spring Fling,

I suggest you cancel it

and you find yourselves a study buddy.

And, remember, practice makes perfect.

And at Attaway, we demand perfection.

- What the heck just happened? - They just shut down the dance.

- What are we gonna do now? - Oh, my goodness.

Perfect.

Okay, who has this next equation?

- Me, me, me, me, me! - Of course you do.

Guess I should just trash this.

You know, I miss the good old days.

I would break out into song and dance to cheer us up,

but we’re not allowed to sing in the hallways anymore.

- ( school bell rings ) - Guys, we should head to class.

I can’t do this anymore.

Where are you going?

All this studying is making my brain hurt.

This is so boring.

Shh.

Oh, hey, guys. Okay, I know.

Why doesn’t 4 get asked out to the dance?

Because he was-- he was 2 squared.

( laughs ) You get it?

Because he’s...

Are you guys just gonna study your lives away?

What else are we gonna do?

The test test is next week. Let’s just get it over with.

Get it over with? How?

This isn’t Attaway, it’s a prison.

Shh.

( whispers ) Sorry.

To be honest, I’m kind of relieved.

I was thinking of asking Flash,

but he hasn’t responded to my last text.

I don’t even have any boys’ numbers.

I wouldn’t have had anyone to ask to the dance anyway.

Maybe this test test isn’t so bad.

Do you guys hear yourselves?

"The test test isn’t so bad"?

Ellie, you’re making math jokes.

This new principal is ruining our lives.

Calm down, Rhyme. Boys aren’t everything.

Easy for you to say. You’ve kissed so many of them.

And since when do you wear glasses?

Hey, what’s gotten into you?

Nothing, just have fun with your stupid textbooks.

- Shh. - Shh!

Why the long face?

Someone confuse you for a second grader again?

At least second graders get to have fun.

Preach.

I can’t believe Principal Anthony cancelled practice.

I know. All she wants us to do is study.

Well, I’ve been getting straight A’s since, like, ever,

so I’m not really sweating the test.

But I do really miss dancing.

I wish my friends felt that way.

Obviously, their priorities have changed.

You know, Rhyme, you’re never the leader.

Maybe it’s time you step up.

Dude, give me my phone back.

"How’s studying going?"

What are you doing?

Showing you how it’s done. Watch and learn.

( phone vibrates )

- See? - Yup.

You need to step up your game in real life,

let me handle your texting,

and I promise, the rest will be fine.

All right, man.

- Hey. - Hey, Rhyme.

Shouldn’t you be studying?

Probably, but I get distracted.

Me, too.

What if we studied together?

Like a date? I mean, a study date.

Yeah, study date.

- Dad: ...start with me! - Mom: I’m not starting with you!

Dad: You-- you are start--

Look, I had a late night, all right?

Mom: I know you had a late night.

You don’t think they’re gonna break up, do you?

I don’t know.

Because if they do, we won’t be sisters anymore.

What are you talking about?

Well, you’d go live with your dad and...

I’d live with my mom.

What? Sorry, it’s Hamilton.

We’re gonna go hang out tonight.

Oh. Yeah.

Sounds like fun.

- Yeah, we’ll hang out later. - Yeah. Sure.

Hey, June. We’re not filming today.

Oh, no, I know. I’m just working on one of my own projects.

That’s cool.

Everything all right?

Yeah, I just have a study date next week with Rhyme.

A study date? That is super cute.

She always seems so down and distracted.

Girls are so confusing.

Yeah, try being one.

Don’t worry. She’ll come around.

Now, can you please help me frame this shot?

Yes, ma’am.

Talk to me.

It’s nothing.

I’ve been your sister my whole entire life.

I know that look.

Well, I was so excited to go to the Spring Fling.

The dance team would be performing.

It would’ve been the perfect night with TK.

What kind of terrible person

would try to ruin all of that?

Tell me more about this Principal Anthony.

- What do we know about her? - I don’t know.

All she really does is walk around the school

being serious and awful.

Does she have a husband?

Definitely not.

Does she have any, like, teacher friends?

Not that I know about.

Well, actually, the other day

I was walking through the hallway and...

Rhyme: "They need to focus on their studies.

I’d be happy to have you over for dinner,

maybe a little sangria, and we can discuss my plans."

Rhyme: "Look, if the kids study all the time,

they’ll go crazy. They are young.

They have passion."

And then Principal Anthony told Señor Singer...

"What they have is a tough economy

and lousy test scores."

"Well, maybe if you had a little more passion in your life,

you’d understand.

♪ La cucaracha, la cucaracha ♪

Rhyme, do you know what this means?

That teachers don’t make sense?

Well, duh.

But not my point.

Don’t you see?

The principal has the hots for Señor Singer.

- Gross! - No, it’s perfect.

- I’m not following. - You need to get the principal

to fall in love with Señor Singer,

so she can have fun and sing in the hallway

and she host school dances.

Harmony, you’re like a tiny genius.

We need a plan.

You and I aren’t enough. We’ll need a team.

First off, someone who can see what we can’t.

Then we’ll need someone who not only speaks Spanish,

but is fluent in the language of love.

This group feels pretty random.

Au contraire.

It’s not random enough.

We need to catch people off guard.

Which is why you’ll need

an unsuspecting ally.

Rhyme: A what?

Harmony: The last person anyone would expect

you to team up with.

Now this is what I call a squad.

Welcome to Operation Tango.

It’s going to be hard, it’s going to be tough,

but trust me, it’s going to be worth it.

And if you don’t think you have what it takes,

you can leave right now.

Okay. Good.

Let’s begin.

Where are we at with Señor Singer? Rooney?

So, he goes to school and then he comes home.

Then he goes to school and then he comes home, and then he goes--

Okay, okay.

We get it. Nothing else?

Oh, well, he reads romance novels in Spanish.

Inspiring, but not helpful.

Yeah. On Wednesdays he leaves school during lunch.

And at first I thought he must have a girlfriend

or something, ’cause he’s like super hot.

And then I was like, "Whoa, he’s into, like, way older women."

- Harmony: Spicy. - Yeah, but it turns out

it was just his grandma Abuela Singer.

¡Fantastico! I can work with that.

Okay, Rhyme, this is where you come in.

I know you’re not exactly a style icon,

but there’s something nonthreatening about your look.

Thank you?

It’s just-- don’t overdo the pink.

- ( gasps ) - Sheldon!

Oh! Hey, Principal Anthony.

Um, saw what happened at lunch.

You and half the student body.

Oh, hey, look.

I’ve got some brand-new clothes I got for my mom’s birthday,

and then she decided no presents this year,

and everything I got was non-refundable.

So...

Oh, no, no. I can’t imagine any of that would fit me.

Oh, my goodness, is this-- is this cashmere?

Yeah, my mom insists on the finest.

( gasps )

That would look amazing on you.

Oh, well, pink really isn’t my color.

That’s weird, because Señor Singer said

that he thought pink looked best on you.

- He did? - Yeah.

Oh.

Well, maybe I will--

- I’ll just-- I’ll take these. - Yeah.

Okay, thank you.

( whispers ) Yes!

( gasps )

Next, we’ll need to plant a love bug

into Señor Singer’s ear.

Ace, that’s you.

( school bell rings )

Yo!

You see that new principal?

Damn!

Ace, that is a wildly inappropriate remark.

Sorry, Señor.

You know, what I meant to say

is she is a very beautiful and respectable woman.

Well, all women are beautiful in their own right.

But respect must come from passion.

And so far, I haven’t seen any passion.

Word.

I see what you’re saying, but I did hear

that Mr. Meyer might be asking her out.

Don’t miss out, hermano.

Don’t call me hermano.

Come on, give me that.

( doorbell rings )

Who could that be?

Just ignore it.

( doorbell continues )

( ringing continues )

- Oh, hey, stranger! - Hi, Ellie.

Just wanted to make sure you were studying for the test test.

What are you, like, the study police?

Okay, I was just worried about you.

Yeah, well, I’m studying.

Gotta go.

Rude!

Guys, this is the hardest part.

Everyone pay attention.

( sighs )

Amateurs.

Hey, you know Rhyme?

Are you talking to me?

Yeah, you, teacher’s pet.

Is Rhyme the one that’s always singing?

No, that’s Ellie,

Rhyme’s little sidekick.

And your point is?

Well, you didn’t hear it from me,

but rumor has it she’s been skipping class

with a renegade group of kids.

- Oh, my! - Yeah.

And instead of studying,

they’ve been... dancing.

Tell me everything.

And he totally bought it. Hook, line, and sinker.

Just like I told you.

So, what’s the next step?

Yeah, what do we do now?

Now, we let them come to us.

She said they do their secret dancing right... here?

A home for the elderly?

You guys have been together for so long.

Everything must be really perfect.

Oh, honey, he’s got dentures and I can hardly hear.

But we love each other.

He’s my best friend.

You know, I had a crush on her forever

and I could never tell her.

Then I just asked her to the movies.

It was the best night of my life.

♪ It feels good, feels good, feels good, ah ♪

( screams )

Oh, my gosh! Ma’am!

Are you all right?

I just wish I could’ve had one last dance.

My whole life I spent all my time working.

( crying ) And no time for dancing.

Singer: Easy, easy does it.

It is okay.

We will keep playing music for you

and you can keep on dancing now.

I just wish I had more of it.

( sighs and cries )

- ( crying continues ) - It’s okay.

How awful.

It really is a shame about the school dance.

But you got some really nice dance moves, Principal Anthony.

And a nice new outfit,

if I may say so.

You know what?

The dance is back on.

What? ( laughs )

What about our commitment to academics?

You have a good point, Sheldon.

Okay.

In order to attend the dance,

you must pass the test test.

Copy that?

Señor Singer, will you be attending the dance?

You can count on it.

This is so good, the dance is back on.

As long as you chicken heads can pass the test test.

- When is it again? - Hello? It’s the day after tomorrow.

Yeah, I knew that.

I’m supposed to study with TK.

TK!

Oh no, I missed our study date!

Typical.

( phone buzzing )

( music playing )

Equals C squared!

See, you got it.

We’ll make a good team.

Keep your cool, Tiny Tim.

Hey, did you know the dance is back on?

So?

Well...

Whatever.

Okay.

Hey, Hamilton and I are gonna go study.

- You wanna come? - No thanks.

Why, what’s wrong?

Oh, nothing, just that my life totally sucks.

I don’t even have anyone to go to the dance with.

And with our parents fighting 24/7,

I might not even have a sister.

( doorbell rings )

Shoot, that’s Hamilton. I gotta go.

Are you sure you don’t wanna come?

No. It’s okay.

Oh, we’ll hang later. Okay?

Girls will want you more now.

- Hey. - Hey, Kayla.

Can you talk?

Looks like you’re kinda busy.

You know how it is.

Look, I don’t date all that much

but I think this was a mistake.

See you around.

Dude.

I’m sorry.

( music playing )

- So, you wanna go to the dance? - That’s not how it’s suppose to work.

The girls are supposed to ask the guys.

So ask me.

I can’t. I have to ask somebody else.

- Again? - Just trust me on this one.

( music playing )

( school bell ringing )

- Hey. - Oh, hey.

Sorry I missed our study date.

It’s okay. Me and Dru studied together.

Oh.

Cool. Yeah, yeah, that’s cool.

Well, it’s something.

Will you meet me after the test test?

There’s something I wanna ask you.

Sure. Good luck on it.

Thanks. I’ll need it.

I’m excited to welcome everyone

to the first annual test test at Attaway.

We shall begin in five, four, three, two, and one.

( music playing )

Yes!

( music playing )

Go away!

Teddy and Bunny wanted to see how you were doing.

Well, I would be doing a lot better

if their friend Harmony wouldn’t have made me fail the test test.

Wait, you failed the test because of me?

Exactly. I wasted so much time on your master plan

that I didn’t study for the test test.

Now all my friends are going without me

and I can’t have my perfect night with TK.

Well, maybe next time don’t take advice from a nine-year-old.

That’s one lesson I’ve definitely learned.

Too bad that wasn’t on the test test.

Come on, Teddy.

Apparently, someone doesn’t appreciate us.

Bunny, you can stay with my grumpy sister.

I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me.

What?

So here’s the thing.

I know things have been really difficult

with our parents fighting a lot recently,

but you’ll always be my sister.

Thanks, sis.

No!

Okay, not so fast.

You know I’m gonna get a photo of my two girls.

Dad, can you please not be so lame?

We already got a bunch of selfies up in my room.

Oh, good, you’re still here.

I was worried I was gonna miss you girls.

( sighs ) They look so beautiful.

Forrester: Let me get one of all three of you.

So, is everything going okay with you guys now?

What are you talking about, sweetie?

We really don’t want you to split up because we’re sisters, now,

and it would really suck not to be.

Forrester: Whoa whoa, slow down.

We’re not splitting up.

Both: You’re not?

Parents fight.

And things have been stressful around here lately

with both our jobs, but that doesn’t mean we’re breaking up.

Right. We knew that.

( knocking on door )

Go away, Harmony.

I told you I just wanna be alone right now.

Ow! Oh, sorry. I did it again.

Shouldn’t you guys be at the Spring Fling?

Yes, we should, but so should you.

Rooney, told us what you did

and you’re the reason the dance is still on.

We had no idea.

Some good it did me.

Well, I know I should’ve listened to you to study more.

But studying’s actually not that bad.

I mean, if I don’t-- if I don’t become a professional dancer

or-- or a rock star, then I’ll be a teacher.

Don’t get ahead of yourself, Ellie.

Okay, look, I’m sorry I was a jerk,

and thank you so much for coming ll the way over here,

but if you guys don’t hurry up you’re gonna miss the dance, too.

Oh! Oh, right.

Yeah, okay, this is for you.

What’s in the bag?

Is it some fairy godmother

who’s going to transform me into a straight A student?

Not exactly.

Ellie: Okay.

Get dressed, Cinderella.

We’re getting our girl to the ball.

( indistinct chatter )

( music playing )

- Hi, girls. - Girls: Hi.

So are you gonna make me dance by myself?

Thought you’d never ask.

( music playing )

Go.

I know you’re smarter than me and all,

but it’s time for me to teach you a thing or two.

I thought you had another date lined up.

I do.

All right, first, you need to go dance with another girl.

But Kayla’s sitting there all alone.

Exactly.

She’ll definitely see you then.

You know what?

I’m changing plans.

So, you know how you’ve been saying

that I’ve been acting like two different people?

Yeah.

Well, this is gonna sound really stupid,

and I totally don’t blame you

if you don’t ever wanna talk to me again,

but I got so nervous trying to text you

I had Ace do it all.

Hold up. So all those emojis

and all that bragging about other girls--

All Ace.

Pretty pathetic, huh?

No. I think it’s kinda cute.

- Really? - Come on.

Going stag?

No. I kinda have a crush in L.A.

You know, California.

Whatever. You’re not my type anyway.

Wow. Thanks.

Well, what about a friendly dance?

You’re on.

Hey!

May I have this dance?

Look, Dru, I think it’s more of a friendship thing.

( laughs ) Oh, my God.

TK, you’re so sweet.

Did I just embarrass myself?

Look, it’s really cool

I can talk to you about movies and stuff,

but, TK, you’re like way younger than me.

I feel really stupid right about now.

Don’t sweat it.

So what happened?

Did Rhyme ask someone else?

No. She ghosted me.

Now I can’t find her.

- ( scoffs ) - So I guess that’s that.

What? So you’re just gonna sit back like that?

It’s not a movie.

Not everything ends with a happy ending.

What else am I supposed to do?

This is for you.

Enjoy.

I sure hope this punch isn’t spiked with anything.

100% natural.

You know, Señor Singer, after all their good work,

it is really nice to see these kids have some fun.

And what about their principal?

May I have this dance?

You may.

Uh, congratulations on passing the test test.

You scored in the 73rd percentile.

Uh, thanks.

It’s a shame that your special friend didn’t pass.

- Hmm. - What?

Isn’t Rhyme your crush?

You guys are like "the will they

or won’t they" of Attaway.

- What about Rhyme? - She didn’t pass the test test.

She went through all this trouble

just to get the dance back on and to go with, well, you.

- The irony. - What?

Well, irony is--

I gotta go go.

( music playing )

All right, chicas.

Are you ready for your performance?

You know, Señor Singer, I thought you were loco crazy

for making us all dance together,

but it’s been a weird couple of days,

so maybe it’ll work out.

The times, they are a changing.

Don’t start without us.

- What’s going on? - I have to be a part of the new squad.

Ah, speaking of which,

I know how you girls love hoodies.

So.

Ta-da.

- Chicken Girls? - What can I say?

It’s got a nice ring to it.

Oh, come on, Luna.

Black is very in this season.

Well, I guess it’s a cute sweater.

( all laugh )

- One team. - One dream.

♪ We fly together

( all laugh )

You know, I never thought that I would say this,

but it feels pretty weird without Rhyme here.

( all scream )

Who is the chicken?

Even if I can’t dance tonight,

I’ll still be here cheering you on.

Not so fast, young lady.

I thought I saw you sneaking in here.

See, Principal Anthony, it’s one of the failures.

Señor Singer, do I have to go?

I’m sorry, Rhyme, but Sheldon is right.

Only the students who have passed the test are allowed to attend the dance.

Such a shame.

Wait, wait.

Over the past couple days I’ve open my eyes and I realized

that, although, academics is real important,

it’s not everything.

Do you promise to study real real hard

for the state test in May?

You know what? Just take off that ridiculous costume

and go dance with your friends.

( all cheer )

- Chicken Girls. - All: One, two, three, Chicken Girls!

All: Whoo!

Oh.

Oh, man.

Girl: Let’s give a warm welcome

to this year’s Spring Fling performance,

never before seen... Chicken Girls.

- Ready? - So ready.

Girls: One, two, three, Chicken Girls!

Where-- Where’s TK?

I don’t-- I don’t know.

( music playing )

Hey.

Is this seat taken?

I’m sorry I snapped at you.

I know you were just trying to help.

Is that the best you can do?

The dance wouldn’t have happened without you.

You saved the day.

Not just for me, but for everyone at Attaway.

You’re like a local hero.

Please.

You’re like the best sister

- and the best person-- - All right.

That was a pretty good apology.

I forgive you.

So, what happened? Tell me all about it.

The dance was amazing.

And actually Principal Anthony was kinda cool.

I made up with Ellie, but...

the only thing is that TK wasn’t there.

Um, I just remembered.

I think I left Teddy outside.

Can you go and get him?

Sure.

( music playing )

I wanna remember this moment forever,

but also I wanna remember everything.

All the days at the pool, last summer,

the dance expo,

all of it.

This is so perfect.

And it’s summer again.

Everything’s like it was before,

but maybe this time we can be more than friends.

And then the next year and the next year

until you have dentures and I have grey hair.

- Huh? - Sorry, I’m rambling.

No. You’re cute when you ramble.

But there’s something that I gotta tell you.

Flash’s dad invited us to L.A. this summer,

so he can teach me how to be a real director.

The whole summer?

Well, yeah, but we can text and stuff.

Yeah, totally.

I’m happy for you.

Really.

Thanks.

I should probably get back inside.

Harmony’s looking for Teddy

and it’s been a long night.

All right. Night, Rhyme.

So much for happily ever after.

Wait.
