Dance camp was so fun. I can't believe I was gone almost all of summer. You

didn't miss much. I was so busy running my business, I barely had time for my

shows. How about you, Claire? How was it with your parents at the Crown Lake

Country Club?

Uh, well, actually, there is something.

It's kind of... Oh, Sarah!

Claire, Belle, this is my friend Sarah from dance camp.

You must be the famous Chicken Girls.

Three out of the four.

At least, Poppy used to hang out with us.

Yeah, until she didn't have time for us anymore because she joined the varsity

dance team.

Sophomore year is changing already.

Speaking of sophomore year, I've been using chewing gum to get back into

school mode. And I was thinking we all need to get our focus bubbles back,

so...

Thanks,

Mom. This is awesome.

Awesome and delicious.

Oh, Isla just invited us to a pool party. We should go.

I'm down. I just got the cutest bathing suit. We can't. It's Tuesday tea.

Okay, so we can go tomorrow.

Tomorrow's Wednesday.

The tradition is that we meet on Tuesday.

Traditions matter.

How about we just meet up at Junior's before the party?

Sure. Fine, that works.

Hey, Mom, what's up?

What? No, no, no, no.

What do you mean I have to babysit?

But it's Tuesday tea.

We fly together, fly together.

We are a girl game like birds of a feather, birds of a feather.

Do you want to play a game?

Um, not right now.

Do you want to watch cartoons?

Maybe in a little while.

Ooh, you know what, maybe we could- Kiki, enough!

Do you have any snacks?

In the kitchen.

What are you watching?

Beauty tutorials.

Oh, cool. Do you like makeup?

Yeah, I guess.

Sorry I'm running late. I just need to figure out what I'm wearing and then

I'll be on my way.

Aria, you seem old enough to babysit, don't you think?

If I could babysit, why would I be here?

Right. Well, why don't you get some babysitting practice in today?

Like, for the next hour.

I'm supposed to be meeting my friends. Don't care.

You'd be doing me a huge favor by just watching Geeky for a little bit so I

could go and... Why don't you just tell them you're babysitting? Because I'm the

one that insisted we have Tuesday tea today.

If I miss it, they'll be so mad and we'll probably never have Tuesday tea

again.

Please.

No.

Do you even learn anything from watching those anyway?

Enough to know that your foundation isn't blended.

Actually, change of plans. Why don't you all come to my house? We'll all get

ready here.

Who's coming over?

I need you to do me a favor.

No. I'll pay you half of my babysitting fee.

Fine. What is it?

Glad you all could make it. As you can see, I have a little surprise. I hired

makeup artists for the party. I am so excited to do your makeup. Who's first?

Claire, are you sure about this? She looks a little too young to be a pro.

Aria knows what she's doing.

She's done my makeup like a million times.

And who are you? Her assistant.

I mean, Claire, I don't really know if we have time for this. We want to get to

the party on time.

Come on. It'll be fun. And we're closer to the party. It's a win-win. I could

totally make your eyes pop with a little eyeshadow.

She knows what she's doing. I promise.

Plus, you should see her followers on Camogram.

Okay, yeah, sure.

Do your thing, Aria.

I thought, since we couldn't go, that I would bring Tuesday Tea to us.

Thanks. I know it's not juniors, but at least we're together, right?

Yeah, totally.

Look, there's something I wanted to talk to you both about. Who's next?

Oh! Oh!

What? Does it look bad?

Um...

I think it looks good.

What the heck, Claire?

Now we're going to be late for the party. I'm sorry.

Aria was never a makeup artist, was she? Why would you lie to us?

We just wanted to spend some time together, and she was watching so many

of those tutorials, I just assumed.

Wait, why do you have two kids in your house anyways?

I'm babysitting them.

Babysitting? But what about the party? And what about Tuesday Tea?

You were the one who insisted we had it today. I didn't know I actually had to

babysit them.

Claire, what is up with you? You've never been this, like, crazy about

Tuesday Tea.

It is not like we weren't going to be together at the party. The party isn't

our tradition.

Tuesday Tea is.

Can't one thing in my life stay the same? Okay, whatever.

Come on, girls. Maybe we can get to the party in time.

Yeah, fine. Do whatever you want. See if I care.

Hey, I heard you all fighting in Claire's room.

Sorry about that.

You should probably know Claire's going through a lot right now. What do you

mean? My dad told me that her parents are getting a divorce.

He said that she might not be her best self right now, and I should try and be

extra nice to her.

That's good advice.

I just thought maybe we all could try and be nicer to Claire.

Why didn't you tell us? We had to find out from a literal child.

Why didn't you tell us? I tried.

I was going to this morning, but then Sarah showed up. And then I was going to

a Tuesday tea, but then no one even wanted to go.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to contact you. No, Sarah, you're fine. Claire missed

Tuesday tea all last year because of student council.

Yeah, but at least last year we were still the Chicken Girls.

We still are.

No, we're not.

Simone gave away our bracelets, and now we're letting go of all of our

traditions, too. It was one Tuesday tea, Claire. No.

It was the first Tuesday tea of sophomore year.

It was important.

And you were ready to let it all go for some party. We have other interests,

Claire.

Harmony's gone.

Poppy's gone.

And now I'm gonna lose you too.

Who's Harmony?

I hate that Claire isn't here with us.

Why didn't you just tell us?

I mean, as a kid of divorce, I can say that. It's hard to admit. It just feels

too real.

I guess I get that.

I just wish there was something we could do to show Claire that we're there for

her.

Maybe there is.

Claire, I'm sorry for what happened earlier.

Yeah, we shouldn't have reacted like that.

No, I'm sorry.

I should have told you what was going on instead of lying to you.

It's okay.

If you would have told us what was going on, we definitely would have skipped the

party for Tuesday tea.

It wasn't about Tuesday tea.

Not really.

Go on, Claire.

You can talk to us.

I just... So much is going on in my life right now, and I'm so afraid of our

group changing, too. I don't think I could handle it. Are you kidding?

We need each other.

Nothing's gonna change that.

I don't know.

Maybe we were onto something last year.

Dissolving the chicken girls and everything.

No, we weren't. What?

If there's one thing we've learned from this, is that we'll always be the

chicken girls.

Oh my gosh.

Claire,

I know what you're going through is tough. I've been through it and it's

hard. But you don't have to do this alone.

We're here for you.

Yeah. Okay.

Is everything okay?

Um, yeah.

Next time on Chicken Girls.

I'd be happy to bring my skills to varsity. You're auditioning right after

Simone. I've been having the worst stomach pains and I was just about to go

to the nurse.

I think I should stay with you. Down the hatch.

I think it's working!
