I want to be where the people are.

You belong to me.

Eric, look out!

Disney's The Little Mermaid, rated PG.

Tickets on sale now.

Did you see Kara's text?

She said we could technically still compete, but we're going to have to

rework our routine.

I did, but reworking our teams means extra practice, and I'm already behind

on homework as it is. And you know Kara. She needs an answer now.

I don't blame her. Regionals are just around the corner, and we need to buckle

up. I'm guessing you didn't respond to her text.

Uh, not yet. But, hey, I'm sure Ivy and Theo are taking their time, too.

How about you?

I'm in.

Are you?

Can you keep a secret?

You know I can.

Coach offered me my spot on the football team back.

That's great, Bailey.

You deserve it after what they did to you. I know, but it's complicated.

If I go back to football, then I can't be on the dance team.

That's why you didn't say yes to Kara.

Because you're not even sure if you'll even be on the team anymore.

I only have a few minutes before history, but here's all of your

homework. You're so sweet.

I'm lucky you let me pop in for a bit to get my things.

You're not missing a whole lot.

Just the dancing and crumbling.

Trying to make me feel better?

No, honestly.

I'm not sure we'll even compete.

Well, you reap what you sow.

What do you mean?

Well, Ivy betrayed me, and there's consequences for that.

You got caught doing something you shouldn't have been doing.

I don't think you should be blaming Ivy for that.

Come on, who else could have turned me in?

It doesn't matter who turned you in. You need to take responsibility for your

actions, Petra. I thought you understood where I was coming from.

I do.

That's the worst part.

I do.

I've been here for all of it.

If you'd just have come to me, we could have figured something out.

Now you're pulling Ivy into this because it's convenient.

Did I pull Ivy into it, or did you?

I have to go.

My team needs me.

Have you talked to Simone and Poppy?

No, but they haven't reached out either, so who cares?

Honestly, I've been dealing with my own problems. Things with Iggy have been

kind of stressful.

Why? What happened? You know, just family stuff.

Now moms are all up in your business.

Do you have to go to that stupid chowder thing again?

Please do not bring up chowder fist.

Sure, just another thing we can't talk about. Come on, Claire. I'm not the one

that bought the test.

The chicken girl's group chat has been dead for over a week now.

Seems like there's nothing we can talk about at all anymore.

So, what do you think of this?

Might be a good quick adjustment for our routine.

It'll fit perfectly with summer grooves.

I wouldn't waste your time.

Besides you and me, no one seems to care.

Radio silence from Ivy, Theo, and Bailey.

Remember how I wasn't going to sign up for varsity?

It wasn't because I didn't want to.

It was because my foster dad wouldn't sign my permission slip.

I didn't know that. Well, I forged it and got in anyway because dance is

important to me.

It's the one thing I have when everything in my life is changing, no

matter what foster home I was in or what was going on in class.

I knew I could go into dance practice and things would be okay.

I get it. I started dance to impress my dads, to make them happy, but now I do

it for me.

Which is why you're our leader.

I think you mean Petra.

She's our captain, not our leader.

All the other girls, they follow you.

If you give up, they will too.

Wise words as always.

Hey, did Finn ever talk to you?

About what? Another empty house?

No.

I mean, it's nothing.

It's his thing. He should be the one to tell you.

Well, he hasn't, so spill.

Okay, before I do this, I just want you to know Finn is a really good guy, and

he cares about you.

And I didn't know he was doing this, but... Doing what?

He started looking into your biological parents online, and he found your dad.

What? He didn't tell me until after. I would have never done it without your

consent. So what did he find?

Is he living in a fancy house with the perfect family?

Is he happy after having abandoned me?

I'm so sorry.

So he's dead.

So, things any better with Theo?

Nope. Not even a dot on his radar.

I don't think that's true.

It's just... so exhausting.

Whoa! Ivy!

What happened? Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I just got a little lightheaded for a second. I probably didn't drink enough

water. Are you sure that's all?

Yeah, I just got wobbly for a second. Have you eaten today?

Today, I...

Slept through my alarm.

I wasn't hungry at lunch.

Sometimes I don't eat enough.

Dancing and stressing.

Sometimes I've... Passed out?

You could have really hurt yourself.

Let's get you a snack. I'm sure there's something in the bench. Finn, I'll be

fine.

I'll have an energy bar or something.

You don't have to worry.

But I am worried.

I'm fine. I'm going to get you a snack.

Ivy!

Knock, knock.

Oh, thank God you were finally here. Practice in 30 minutes, and let's do

this. Um, I was actually working on some stuff. I'm not... Like new formations?

Because we need those.

I mean, ever since Xander and Will left, we had to fill those replacements. But I

feel better knowing that I have you here.

Routines, Ben.

I was sketching dance routines.

Wait.

So you're not rejoining?

No. The dance team needs me.

I know, but the football team needs you too, Bailey.

Our kicker is terrible.

Ben, they're just saying all this because you need to fill a spot.

But that's not enough.

I want to be on a team that needs me.

The dance team, they accept me for who I am and they pick me up when I stumble.

They don't make me feel worse for my mistakes.

That was just Xander and Will. And they're gone now.

It was everyone, Ben. When everything happened, no one stood up for me.

Even you.

I know, but I apologize for that.

And I forgive you. But I won't drop the people who supported me.

They took me in when I had nowhere to go.

So there's nothing I can do to change your mind?

My mind's made up.

But there's something else I want to say.

We've had our ups and downs, but you're still my brother.

Nothing changes that.

I love you.

Alright.

I understand.

I love you too.

I know we all joined the team for different reasons, but now I know we all

came here with the same goal.

Of course we want to win, but we came here to dance.

Together.

As a team.

So, who's with me?

Hi, Captain.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I'm in.

Me too.

I can't afford to quit on you a second time, Kara.

Of course I'm in.

As you all know, I did this for Petra.

And now that she's off the team, I was thinking about what's keeping me on

here.

And it's all of you.

I may not know a lot about dance, but I know a solid team when I see one.

I'm in.

So, we're doing this because I have new routines ready.

We can get back on schedule tomorrow.

Maybe we can come early.

7.30?

Yeah, sounds perfect.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Ivy.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, what's up?

I wanted to apologize.

Oh, it's okay.

I know you and Petra have history.

But... That's all that it is.

History.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying that I told Petra I needed some time.

A break.

To bring her boyfriend.

Why?

Because I couldn't be with her when I really wanted to be with you.

And I know what I said, but I was stupid and I was scared and I wish I'd never

said it.

I wish I could go back and just tell you how I've been feeling for these past

weeks.

Because... Theo, I'm gonna kiss you now.

I'd like that.

What happened to dance practice?

It ended a little early today.

Is Ivy okay?

Okay? She seems more than okay.

Sorry, I forgot you two were a thing.

It's okay.

Sorry. Seems like you're having a good day. I don't want to put a damper on it.

It's all good.

Just been a tough semester.

But finally all the drama's behind me and no more secrets.

Secrets can really mess things up.

You can say that again. I'm sure you heard about what happened to me.

Yeah. Glad you're okay with it. I mean, Kara kept wanting to tell you about her

and Ben, but when you're dating your friend's brother, it's hard.

Kara?

Ben?

Dating?

What are you talking about?

Next time on Chicken Girls.

We don't have enough time.

I just wish we had one more rehearsal.

It sucks when people disappoint you, doesn't it? You deserve to be on the

field winning.

Now it's a two-bit team about to lose regionals.

Ivies! I got you.
