Are you kidding me?
What?
After all this time you're still
obsessing over the music video?
No, I'm not!
Yes, you are!
I heard the
song playing, Avery.
Okay. Maybe I was looking at it
to see how no one
even watched it.
And the comments...
that's a whole different story.
Stop!
And, besides, why were you
outside my door spying on me?
I was just coming into our room.
Don't remind me.
Don't you think it's
time to move on?
It's been like forever ago.
It still makes me so-
Stop obsessing!
Besides, you know the
twins are pretty cool.
I swear Em, you are acting more
like Mom every day.
Maybe so. But at least my idol
isn't Paula Abdul.
Did somebody say Paula Abdul?
No, mother!
Oh, well...
you two are gonna be straight up
late to your own rodeo!
Back! To!
School!
Daddy's waitin'!
I gotta get going.
See ya later. Maybe.
Vanilla latte with soy, no whip,
at 175 degrees.
Spill, girls.
You said spill.
Desperate much, Nikki?
She meant she wants to know who
you are and why you're here.
Oh, LOL!
By the way,
we don't talk like that.
Like what?
Like "LOL".
Hey ladies,
how was your Spring Break?
I was just saying to Nik Nik
how great it is to be back to
school together!
Sorry I didn't call
you over break.
Looks like you were busy.
Yeah, we got to
be really good friends.
See you in Mr. Bloom's
class, Charlie.
Why do I still let
her get to me?
You?
If you remember,
Nikki was on my team, Mia.
I mean, our team.
Ladies, you're good. It's good.
No teams needed.
Now, me and Mia have something
we forgot to tell you.
Didn't we, Mia?
It's nothing.
Not right now, anyway.
Wait, what? What's going on?
You know,
we better get to class.
Wait! I know what it is!
You guys got us tickets to see
Shawn Mendes in concert?!
I love you guys!
Ehhhmmmmm, no.
Huh. It's official.
I mean, we're official.
Meet Chia.
Chia. That's a good one.
Wait, you guys are serious?
You shipped yourselves?
Like, for real?
For real!
Wait, what?
When did this all-
When you were busy
dancing all spring break.
We were hanging
out all the time.
And realized how
much we liked each other.
But you guys have
known each other forever.
Like fam.
Exactly! The basis for the
perfect relationship.
And Alex?
Please, that was so last year.
And more his thing, not mine.
Okay then.
Let's get to class, Chia!
Okay, okay, settle down,
settle down, settle down!
We have a lot to go over in the
finale weeks of school!
So, you all know that I'm all
about the drama.
Which brings us to
our big unveiling!
Now, we touched on it a bit,
but I thought it was
really time to dive in.
So, drum roll please!
Yes! Are you ready, Audrey?
Aye, Mr. Oliver!
Okay, pull the fur?
I wanna be the ass.
Excuse me?
Sorry, Lysander. The donkey.
Personally, I saw
you more as Puck.
That is spot on Audrey!
Why thank you, Mr. Oliver!
Yes, Avery.
This is very cute and all,
but can we get to the point?
Oh, and if this is a play,
I nominate myself
to be the lead role.
Here we go again.
Oh no you don't!
Alright, ladies, that's enough.
Don't kill each other,
just chill out and
let me explain
how this is actually
going to work.
Yes, Doug.
Is this a play or something?
Oh man, woah.
Are you serious dude?
Do I look serious?
If I may, Mr. Oliver?
Please. Wow, yes.
Go, Audrey.
This poster signifies one of the
most popular plays
written by William Shakespeare,
A Midsummer Night ' s Dream.
A comedy that
portrays the events
surrounding the marriage of
Theseus to Hippolyta,
the former Queen of the Amazons.
Done! I'm the Queen!
That's my role!
Personally, I can totally see
you as the Queen.
I'm glad someone's listening.
So we're gonna go ahead and
continue Audrey, thank you.
As I was saying, there's a few
interwoven plots!
The four lovers that
flee into the woods!
There's also the impending
marriage as Audrey mentioned,
the fight between
Helena and Hermia.
The play within the play.
Fairies, magic potions.
Enchanted lovers.
And a mysterious guy named Puck
who turns the Bottom
into the ass
you see right there!
I mean, the ass on the poster!
Ha ha ha ha. What is happening?
Sit down.
As you heard,
there are many roles
in Midsummer Night ' s Dream
and lots of opportunity for you
to show your acting chops!
So rather than
do the whole play,
I thought it would be fun to
just do select scenes
for the end of they year
showcase.
Uh, I nominate Avery and Cassidy
to play Helena and Hermia.
I think people would actually
pay to see them fight.
I'm down with that.
Aren't you the funny one, Alex?
I think you should be Bottom.
It's certainly
appropriate for you.
Hey, guys, uhm, how bout we let
Mr. Oliver keep talking?
'Kay?
Thank you, Mackie.
You're welcome.
So! Your first assignment for
the final quarter
of the school year
is to read it, study it,
know it inside and out.
Here, take a handful.
You keep those.
Everybody else gets one,
Doug gets twelve, okay?
O.M.G! You do not
want to miss lunch today!
There's a big announcement
that's like crazy exciting!
Okay, students, back to class.
- Shoo! Shoo shoo shoo!
- We're out! Later, Ruby!
Ruby, you've got to
control your excitement.
You almost gave it away!
I'm sorry!
Nothing like this has ever
happened to VPA before,
I'm just so excited!
Well, it will be life changing for a few of these little monsters.
- Margaret! I am shocked!
- Why?
The fact that you would call
them anything but students?
Oh, please, I could have called
them a lot worse!
You know these
kids better than I.
You know, the little artsy
fartsy kids like you.
It hasn't been that many years
since you were on that side.
- That side?
- Mhm, a little monster.
Oop!
You gotta use this area,
you gotta pull from here to make
the belt work for you.
Like this!
¶ Do it... for love! ¶
I didn't know this was musical
theater, Mr. Bloom.
¶ We'll fight for the people ¶
¶ we'll tear down the walls ¶
¶ We'll do it for freedom, ¶
¶ we'll do it for love. ¶
¶ Climb every mountain, ¶
¶ till the night march on. ¶
¶ Rain or shine,
day or night we'll march on ¶
¶ So brothers and sisters. ¶
¶ The time has arrived. ¶
¶ It's now or never ¶
¶ Meet me by the river ¶
¶ Unite together ¶
¶ Before the sunrise ¶
¶ We'll do it for love ¶
¶ Come with me
and take a stand ¶
¶ We will rise above ¶
¶ Come with me
and take my hand ¶
¶ We'll do it for love ¶
Something big, something big is
about to go down at VPA!
Big? Like what? How big?
Oh please, Pauly.
Stop being so theatrical.
Better yet, you should
transfer to acting class
and put those
dramatics to perfect use.
Speaking of VPA, you should
transfer to acting class.
I think you'd
really like it, Mia.
Ya know, that's not
really my thing.
Seriously, it's kinda fun!
Yeah, and our teacher is-
Is also pretty cool.
Yeah, that too!
But he's just sooo-
Dramatic?
I think she's
thinking something else.
Ya know what, now that
you mention it
I just might take
you up on that offer.
Alright, thanks bro.
Hey, sorry Mr. Bloom I gotta
head to the office!
It's lunchtime, Em, come on!
Earth to Emily!
Hello?
- What?
- I said, let's go!
Don't tell us you're still
dreaming about that new kid!
What new kid?
Seriously, it's so obvious.
I have no clue what you
guys are talking about.
I was just-
As I was saying, still dreaming
about that new kid, Em?
And as I was saying,
I don't know what you
guys are talking about.
Uh-huh. Well then,
I guess we're still going to the
dance without dates, right?
Yeah, duh. Of course.
- Sorry - oo!
- Dude!
Sorry, I gotta get to the
principals office!
Office temporarily closed?!
Important announcement today
during lunch, exclamation point!
Noon. Be there or be square.
That must be what they were
talking about this morning.
What in the heck
happened with Pauly?
Mackie happened.
What are you
talking about, dude?
Stupid me put the
idea in his head.
- What idea?
- Acting class.
Now I'm totally confused.
So, it's obvious that Pauly had
a thing for Mackie
and I told him he should
transfer into acting class
cause he's so dramatic.
And he ran with it. Literally.
So let me get this straight.
You think Pauly wants to
be in the acting class
because of Mackie?
There's my analytical girl.
Wow, I get it now too.
It's pretty dumb of me.
Dude, she's not gonna know
unless you tell her.
I've already lost two books!
Chia!
Stop, you know I
love you two together.
Mackie! We were
just talking about you!
I mean, about acting class
so like not really anything
about you in particular.
Yeah, what about it?
Nothing really,
it's just, I might transfer in.
Really? That'd be so cool.
Actually, in fact, I'm gonna go
up to the office right now
and try to make that happen.
I'll be back in a couple
minutes.
Adios!
He could definitely be the ass.
Attention students!
We will be starting
in about five minute!
Principal Rogers has a very
important announcement
that's going to affect everyone
here at Valley Performing Arts!
What're you doing, dude?
What're you doing?
I need to talk to Ruby.
Get in line, I was here first.
- Where is she?
- Inside, I think.
Okay, I'll catch her at
the big announcement.
Gotta grab lunch
with Mackie and Chia.
You say Chia?
Charlie and Mia?
Pretty cool for them!
Later dude!
I don't know why
everyone is so
freaked out by this
announcement!
I mean, what if it's bad?
- Like what, Nikki?
- I don't know.
I don't know either,
but I guess it's gotta be big.
Principal Rogers never does a
lunch time announcement.
Never.
Maybe they're shutting down
the school or something.
They're closing the school?!
Good afternoon students.
Welcome back to the final
quarter of the year here at VPA.
As you all know, we have our
annual Spring Fling
coming up next month which will
be a tribute to the 80's
and all that made
it bad to the bone.
Which is really good.
There's already flyers posted
around the school
with all the details
and of course,
we will be contacting your
parents to help chaperone
you little monsters.
I mean students, of course.
And finally, I have some
news to share with all of you.
Life changing news.
For all of us.
This is by far the
most exciting thing
to ever happen at Valley
Performing Arts so listen up.
Our little school has
been handpicked
by Triad Conservatory
of Fine Arts
which will award three all
expense paid,
full scholarships to their
immersive summer program
this summer in New York City.
One student will be
selected from dance,
one from singing
and one from acting.
These three superstars will
spend two full weeks
learning from the best at Triad.
Here's how it's going to work.
During our end of
the year showcase,
Headmistress of Triad
Ms. Julia Hughes,
will be sitting in to watch all
of the performances.
She will also be given the 411
about your academics
for the year at VPA.
Based on that,
and your performance,
she will award the scholarships
at the end of the showcase.
The complete rules will be emailed to each of you and your parents,
but keep in mind that you will be judged solely on YOUR performance.
And each student can
only win one scholarship
so make the most
of your time and effort.
That's all for now,
this is your Principal,
Margaret Rogers, signing off.
And we're clear!
These little monsters don't
know how good they have it.
An all expense paid scholarship
in New York City.
I mean, come on!
I never got an
opportunity like that ever!
I mean, when I was their age,
I was lucky to get a dollar
just to got to the movies
on a Friday night.
The most elite performing arts
conservatory in the whole world.
They should
thank their lucky st-
And that concludes the very
important announcement.
Eat now. Or whatever.
Hey, kids.
Oh, hi mom! I tried
to call you earlier.
You won't believe what
happened at school today!
It's pretty spectacular,
Mrs. Castillo.
We're in total shock over it.
It's a dream come true
for any performing artist.
Okay, guys.
Is anyone actually gonna
tell me what's goin' on?
We're competing for a
scholarship to Triad!
It's a twin thing.
Triad? Another contest?
I'm not sure my
nerves can take it.
It's completely different.
And a lot more meaningful.
They're giving away
three scholarships
for their two week summer
intensive in New York City!
It's judged on our
performance in the showcase
AND our academics
throughout the year.
Well based on that,
you two have it in the bag!
Oh, no offense boys.
None taken, Mrs. Castillo.
We know the competitions
gonna be tough.
So between that and
the spring fling coming up,
it's gonna be a busy
couple of months.
Luckily, all of our rehearsals
will be right at school.
Well that's good news!
You know, I never realized how
much I depended on Mandy
until she up and
transferred to NYU.
Well, just think of it! If-
When we win!
All three of your girls will be up in New York City at the same time!
Well hey there, Avery!
Seriously, what's your problem?
I don't have a problem at all!
In fact, I'm perfectly
happy with my life!
Unlike some people I know.
Excuse me?
You have something to say,
you better say it to my face.
Question;
How come you go around this
place thinking you're all that?
Acting like you're some kind
of queen or something?
That was a joke in
acting class. Geez.
Everyone here knows
exactly who you are, Avery.
A spoiled brat,
who for whatever reason,
think's she's the
best at everything.
I bet those little minions
you call your friends
can't even stand
being around you.
They just feel sorry for you.
I'm not a spoiled brat!
Take a closer look
in the mirror.
Maybe you'll find yourself.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I'm not your enemy, you know.
I don't know what's
gotten into Cassidy,
but she clearly
has it out for you.
She's probably just jealous.
Oh no, not this again.
Considering the fact that I'm
not with Alex anymore,
I'm not at Elite dance,
there's really not
much to be jealous of
at this point in my life.
Are you kidding me?
You're one of the
best dancers I know!
And an amazing singer and actor.
If anyone deserved to win all
those Triad scholarships,
it's you.
I better go.
Too soon.
Girl, I wish you didn't forget
your tap shoes,
that was almost perfect.
Almost isn't gonna win
you a scholarship.
I don't need any
dance pointers, thanks!
That's not a pointer,
that's a fact.
The only fact is you need to
learn to mind your own business.
I just hate to see
you waste your time.
All this talent in the room,
and you.
Rude.
Ladies, ladies.
There's plenty of room in this
dance world for everyone here.
Let's not bicker over some silly
summer scholarship to Triad.
Honestly, it's not
the end all be all.
But, didn't you go to Triad,
Frankie?
Exactly my point.
I mean, don't get me wrong,
it's a great school.
But learning the skills
that you need
as a professional are
far more practical
than you'll get at a two week
summer program.
Besides, you have me!
Who needs a fancy scholarship?
I don't know about you guys,
but I'm going for it.
I need that scholarship!
Good luck with that.
Thanks.
She seriously has it
out for both of you!
Both of us?
You and Avery.
I'm so confused.
Mackie and I kind
of called a truce.
At least when it
comes to Cassidy.
When did all this happen?
Well she's pretty much
been a royal bi-atch
to me the whole year, so...
I don't mean when did all this
happen to Avery.
I mean when did you
to become friends?
About ten minutes ago.
And more like frenemies.
Cassidy was picking on
her in the restroom
and I kinda felt sorry for her.
Seriously?
I don't know,
somethings going on.
Maybe she's finally
over her brattiness.
If you say so.
Logan, Avery.
You guys are up next!
Okay, so what are we
hungry for tonight?
I need to ask the server
about vegan options.
Why are they always around
when you don't want them
and when you do want them,
they're never here?
Well, pumpkin,
I am sorry that I haven't been
around but if there is one,
I mean, maybe the silver lining,
is that I'm able to be here.
Given our current situation.
Dad, not you. Our server.
Oh, y-yeah, server.
Mmm duh.
You know Avery, why don't
you try something new
and not go vegan tonight?
Ya know? Eat some meat!
Maybe some cheese.
Put some beef on your bones.
That isn't funny, Dad.
Being vegan isn't a
part time thing.
I take it very seriously.
Okay.
You take everything seriously.
They have a lot of salads.
I need protein, Em.
They should really
get better options.
This is ridiculous.
Hey baby.
You know our little rule about
cell phones at the table.
Oh, yeah yeah, I'm almost done.
Oh! There it is!
What?
Twenty dollars off if
you spend forty!
Boom!
Great, so now you're a
coupon clipper too, huh?
What has happened to our lives?
We all have to pitch in, Avery.
Okay, you guys just order
whatever y'all like,
I'm gonna go to the
ladies room, and um,
just keep it under fifty
dollars, okay?
- Evening folks.
- Good evening.
About time. Do you
serve vegans here?
Uuh, of course. How would
you like those cooked?
Are you kidding me?
Wait a minute, I know you.
How...?
Uh, I-I-I-I've just got one of
those, you know, faces.
No, I know you know you.
You do seem
familiar to me as well.
Well, I, uh...
I have been on television for
about twenty-five years.
No, I don't know you as some
washed up actor.
It's something else.
Steven Miller!
Oh, you remember
my daughter, Avery?
She's the dancer who lost the
video contest you hosted!
Oh, this is my
other daughter Emily!
Thanks for the reminder, Mom!
And this is my husband, Michael.
Hi Steven Miller, nice to see
you again, man.
So hosting gigs all
washed up now too, huh?
Actually, I'm, uh,
researching a, uh, new role.
Oh, meaning no work.
That's about enough, Avery.
It's okay. I know I just
probably brought back memories
of when she lost the
music video contest.
Sorry.
Okay, why don't we
order some spaghetti with
marinara on the side.
On the side, please.
Oh and a salad with
the dressing on the side.
On the side.
And also a side of meatballs and
I think that should do it.
And more bread please!
Uh, anything to drink?
- I'll take a-
- No, we'll just have water, sugar.
Got it. I will
be right back, uh,
with uh, with more bread and uh,
and your uh, sugar water.
Wow. What a loser.
Working at a restaurant now?
Well Avery, you know what?
He, uh, he is at least working,
isn't he?
Oh honey, you will
be too I just know it!
- See what you not gonna do is come up-
- Stop man, stop stop!
Shut up with your bootleg
Shawn Mendes looking behind,
if you don't take yourself up
out this classroom,
is that your gag?
Excuse me, who are you
and what are you doing?
I'm James and this is Pauly-
Uh, don't do that.
Don't do that.
I can introduce myself,
thank you very much.
Pauly Pocket.
She means what characters, guys.
Exactly.
You're disrupting our mojo.
Hey, easy, I'm just tryna
get my scene, okay?
I'm paired up with Mackie.
Uh, I don't think so dude.
What character are
you supposed to be, again?
The one that's
paired up with Mackie.
I'm not finding either
of these guys on this list.
We just transferred in.
This is a but of a quandary,
but to be honest,
I think we can make this
work to our advantage!
We still haven't assigned the
roles of Lysander and Demetrius,
and with Mackie already
rehearsing to portray Hermia,
- I think that we could-
- Done!
Your lucky day, guys.
We'll be pairing you
with Mackie and Avery,
Hermia and Helena,
and the four of you are gonna
play our star-crossed lovers.
Alright, sounds good!
Like I said, I'm paired
up with Mackie.
You can have Avery.
If either of you had taken the
time to learn about Midsummer,
you'd know the story and realize
that both your characters
fall in love with Hermia.
So at this point,
who plays Lysander and who plays
Demetrius, is irrelevant.
Life imitating art.
So who does Mackie end up with?
I mean Hermi-uh?
Here's an idea,
you could just read the story.
Check it out yourself.
That's crazy, right?
Thanks. Got me.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Oh yeah, they just
needed some motivation.
Now they'll actually
read the entire play.
Very clever.
Ahh, one step ahead
of your students!
You'll learn that some day.
That is, if you still
want to be a teacher.
Oh, yes. And this is
the best training ever!
Thanks for letting me help out.
Of course.
But don't forget to study your
Titania monologue, Audrey, okay?
You are still a student!
And we need to hear
from the Queen of the
fairies at the showcase!
You got it, Mr. Oliver!
Excuse me?
I don't think you
assigned roles to us, either.
What are your names again?
- I'm Macy.
- And I'm Lacy.
Cute.
Uh, for this you'll be
Mustardseed and Cobweb.
- Ew, uch.
- Gross.
They're fairies.
Great!
So have you contacted the
parents for the chaperones?
Check! Yes, I have eight
adults plus our teachers,
so we should be good!
Okay, well I don't want any
hanky panky happening.
No hanky panky, check!
How are we looking for eighties
party decorations?
Ooh, I found this amazing
website called Shindigz.
They have some
pretty rad eighties stuff.
Everything we need
should be here by Friday.
Rad, Ruby?
What?
I'm just practicing my eighties lingo for the big night!
Which is just a little
over a week away!
Stay focused, dear.
Oh my gosh, a week,
okay, uh, yes ma'am.
What else?
How bout an
eighties costume contest?
Ooooh, that could be fun!
Snacks?
Oh yes, I uhm, I have a candy
table plus cupcakes.
I'm not sure about
drinks though.
No punch bowls.
Those little monsters would be
up to no good with punch bowls.
No duh!
More eighties lingo?
Mhm.
Gag me with a spoon!
Oh, don't have a cow!
I can be bad to the
bone like you, dudette.
As if.
I'm sorry, Cassidy.
I don't have an answer for you.
Everyone's partnered up.
It's not my fault my partner up
and moved to Fresno.
Fresno? Gross.
Well I'm so sorry that you are
grossed about by Fresno,
I'm sure he didn't mean it.
Considering that he
had a family emergency.
Just go be a trio
with those guys.
Oh no! Find another
student that needs science!
Where's your other half, Mia?
English class, why?
Look, Cassidy, I know
that you don't like-
I need another partner,
that's why.
Like she'd ever
want to be your partner.
Speak up! What?
I said, she would never
want to be your partner.
Your sister has a
problem with me, too?
Seems to be an epidemic!
Okay, okay, okay, alright.
Listen. Cassidy, go and be
partners with Mia and Doug.
It's not the end of the world,
here. This is a life lesson.
Think of it as a
growing experience!
You'll learn, you'll talk, all
it all be fine in the end.
Okay? Doug, I am so sorry.
If you need anything,
just let me know.
I knew I should have taken
science last semester.
Yes, Amber?
Can I please go to
use the ladies room?
Can't you do that after class?
It's kinda personal.
Well, I-I get it, you know.
It's really terrible when school
gets in the way of kinda
personal things.
Fine, go! Go go go.
Just be quick about it because we're all patiently waiting,
f or you.
So?
You're gonna love this. It's
like, so good. Really good.
What's the tea, Amber?
Oh, uh, Cassidy needed
a new science partner
cause hers moved
to Fresno or something?
Anyways, Mr. Richards
put her with Mia and Doug,
even though they didn't want to.
Like, they were seriously almost
fighting with each other.
And?
And I thought you
wanted to know.
Like Mia, was standing
up to her.
She almost put her in her place.
And?
That's kinda it.
And you're kinda reaching.
Total failure, Amber.
I mean, seriously!
Maybe Cassidy would like to know
how you're trying
to cause trouble.
Maybe we should tell her, Macy!
Ahh, maybe we should, Lacy.
Hmmm.
'Scuse me!
Oh, it's you
Ukkk.
That's right, keep walkin.
You can sit here.
If, if you want.
What's everyone having for
lunch? I'm starving.
I have ham and cheese on rye!
Enough for the both of us!
Ew. Gross. I'm vegan.
I have some
veggies we can share.
Thanks.
I've lost my appetite.
Mia, what has gotten into you?
Me? What about you?
What are you talking about?
"I have some
veggies we can share."
You're upset about some carrots?
It's more than that.
Oh, sorry. The broccoli too?
It's not funny, Mack.
I thought we were best friends.
We are!
So that's why you're all chummy
with Avery all of the sudden?
Well maybe it's
because my best friend
has a new boyfriend so she's
never around anymore.
Are you kidding me?
It's the truth, Mia
So let me get this straight.
You're hanging out with Avery because you're jealous of Charlie.
First of all, I'm not hanging
out with Avery, okay?
I offered her some food.
That's it.
And she could use a friend.
And I'm not jealous of Charlie.
I'm happy you two are together.
I like Chia!
It's cool and cute!
Cute and cool.
That's it? Chia is cool and
Avery needs a friend?
Have you forgotten
how she's treated us?
That's what I'm talkin about.
What do you want from me, Mia?
I just want my sister back.
I'm right here.
I'm not going
anywhere, promise.
I think I have some
veggies we can share.
Have you worked up the
nerve to talk to him yet?
No clue what you mean.
The new kid, you know, Drew.
I already told you,
it's not a big deal.
Then you wouldn't care that he's
walking toward you right now.
What?!
Yeah, I wouldn't turn
you head around.
He's literally right behind you
and you have peanut butter
and jelly on your face.
Not a big deal, yeah right
And it was all
over some carrots!
¿Que? ¿Que?
Her getting mad.
Ana is so confused.
Me too!
Ana is here for you baby.
Tell me everything.
Me and Mia were arguing
at school yesterday.
Mackie! You two are
like salt and pepper.
Wine and cheese.
Ana can't imagine you fighting.
Well, we weren't
really fighting.
Things are just different.
Like how?
Like Mia has Charlie now,
so we're not spending
as much time together.
And I think she's okay with
that, but I can't tell.
And she's mad at me cause I'm
kinda friends with Avery now.
Avery next door, Avery?
Uh, they moved, but yes,
the one and only Avery!
Ana thought she was
your number one enemy?
She was, but I feel bad for her.
She's getting bullied at school
and I don't think things
aren't great at home.
Adios mio. Ana is so
confused by all of this!
Try being me!
It sounds like you two are
just growing up a bit
and each one of you is
exploring life independently.
I guess.
Which Ana knows can be so hard.
It's just confusing.
I'm sad because things aren't
the same with me and Mia.
But you are Mackie. Deep down.
When Ana was your age my
best friend was your Papa.
We were so close just
like you and Mia.
Well, not twin close,
but almost.
Ana adored him,
and when he met your Mom and started spending more time with her,
than with me.
Well, I had to find my own way.
But It didn't make me
love him any less.
Our lives just started to separate a bit because we were growing up.
But we always knew that
we'd be there for each other.
No matter what.
Just like you and Mia.
Nothing will ever
break that bond.
Ana knows everything
is going to be okay.
Don't worry.
Okay.
Okay! Now, tell me
what else is going on.
Ana's been in Paris so long
I feel like I've missed
everything.
How's your Mom?
Why don't you can
ask her yourself!
Hi Ana!
Camila -
Good. Really good.
When are you coming home?
Ana will be back next month.
And I have so much to tell you.
Well, the twins have their end of the year showcase in a few weeks.
Hope you'll be back in time?
June 4th at the very latest.
Perfect! The showcase
is the June 7th.
Well, maybe I'll even be back on
California time by then.
Oh, okay! Ana loves
you both so much.
Gotta run. See you soon!
Bye Ana - we love you too!
Thanks for the pep talk!
You okay?
I'm better now.
Ana has a way of making
everything seem okay.
There's no one quite
like her, that's for sure.
I think the word is "unique".
¶ That he's never done
anything else like this ¶
¶ felt these feelings,
these words ¶
¶ I can't take it,
this hurts ¶
Oh, bravo, bravo, bravo.
Ahhh. Young lady that
was magnificent.
You sound like an angel.
And what an amazing song choice.
Thanks, I wrote that one.
Oh, you all better watch out!
Summer is a star.
I believe you have a shot at
winning the scholarship.
Really?
Ah, absolutely.
I'd bet my book on it.
Alright, next.
I've been rehearsing
that song for months!
¶ I said I fell in
love with you ¶
And so am I!
No, you're not! It's my song!
Check with Mr. Bloom!
I ain't gotta check nothin.
You weren't even here when I
cleared it with him.
That's after I already
talked to him about it!
- No, it wasn't!
- Yes it was!
- No, it wasn't!
- Yes!
Gentlemen! Your rudeness has
disrupted my class.
And to be honest,
that is grounds for being cut from the end of the year showcase.
- It's just that-
- I don't wanna hear it.
- But he just-
- Stop!
One more
word out of either of you
and you will both sit
out of the showcase.
In fact, anymore disruption
from anyone in this room
and you will all sit out of the
end of the year showcase.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
Do you understand?
Yes sir.
- Do you all understand?
- Yes sir!
Alright, ehh! Who's next?
A little piece of advice.
Save your squabbles for
outside of the classroom.
You're both pretty good singers
and could win the scholarship.
Of course, I'd have to
drop out so you could win,
but still. Toodles boys.
Hmph.
Set reminder to call Broadway.
I'm ready to come back.
One two, three four, spot,
double turn, low chaine,
squeeze the knees. Good.
That was really fantastic.
I think you've got a good shot
at this scholarship, Mackie.
Really?
I wouldn't say it
if I didn't mean it.
Wow, thanks Frankie!
You're up Avery!
Let's go over
your counts.
5, 6, 7,
you have one two,
three four,
five six, seven eight...
She's so good.
Even better than before.
So are you!
Way better than before.
Thanks? I've been
practicing a lot.
It really shows.
Unlike my lame skills.
You've been busy!
And besides,
there's still time left.
The showcase is right
around the corner, Mack.
So get working!
You've got more drive than
anyone I know, you can do it.
Nice work, Avery! Serious skill.
Thanks! You did good too.
I have to agree, Avery.
That was literally perfect.
I can't think of one
thing I would change.
Except maybe her attitude.
Excuse me?
There's no excuse for you.
Dude, chill.
What's your problem?
Aww, poor Avery has to have her
enemy stand up for her. Again
Sorry to disappoint,
but we're not enemies.
And actually, it isn't
poor Avery at all.
I just don't have a care to
respond to your pettiness.
Nor should you have to Avery.
Be careful Cassidy.
Performing at the end of the
year showcase is a privilege.
Is that a threat?
I learned a long time ago to
never make a statement
that I can't back up.
So no, that is not a threat.
That's a fact.
Hey Mom!
I got the most amazing
email from Ana Sophia
and I had to
tell you right away.
We're all here.
You're on speaker!
Hi Mom!
Hey! Okay, real quick!
Ana has a good friend
who has this really cool vintage
shop in Burbank-
Long story short, she thought
it would be fun for the two of
you to go shopping there
for the Spring Fling!
They have lots
of eighties dresses.
And if you find
something that works,
Ana's gonna
buy it for you.
That's amazing!
What about us guys, too?
I think it's a girls date.
Sorry guys!
Oh, and!
She said her friend will
let ya come in earlier
before the store opens so you
have it all to yourselves!
I'll text Ana later!
That's super sweet of her.
Maybe we can go this weekend?
Is it just us or can
we bring friends too?
It's be a fun shopping
day for the girls!
That's what I was thinking, too.
Great, I'll invite everyone!
I have to go girls.
I'll see you tonight!
Alright,
Camila will get you all
set up in the system.
Welcome to the team, Michael.
Thank you. Thank you.
So good to see you Michael!
So good to see you too!
I didn't know you worked here -
this is crazy!
It's been five years.
After Ricky died.
It's been five years?
How you doin?
I'm doing really good,
thank you for asking.
I was sad to see you guys move.
We were too. Avery especially.
She is not handling the
down sizing very well.
I'm sure. But, things
are looking up!
You know you can't go wrong with construction in Southern California.
I flipped a coin, and here I am.
And Robert and I are
old golf buddies too,
so-I think this is officially my
mid-life crisis career change.
Trust me, I understand.
So what was your other choice?
- Wha-
- The flip of the coin?
Ah you're gonna
laugh if I tell you.
I would never!
Alright.
Lounge singer.
Lounge singer?
Yeah, I-I took a few stabs at
singing back in the day.
But lounge singer?
You know, like the Dean Martin,
the rat pack thing, ya know?
I-I'm a little too old to be the
next Justin Bieber.
I'm okay with that.
Well we all have our dreams.
Let me get some
paperwork for you.
Welcome to Skyline
Construction!
Hey Mr. Richards,
you got a minute?
Depends.
Is there something I
can do for you?
You know, I'm only here because
I need an outsiders opinion.
And, you're,
well not to be rude,
but pretty much as far outside
as one can get
without not really knowing me.
Does that make sense?
Sure.
Great! Well, you know I have a
twin sister named Mackie, right?
She was in my class
last semester, Mia.
Right, silly me.
Anyway, she and
I have always been super close.
And I mean, like, as close as
you can possibly be
without being the same person.
You're twins.
Yeah-
So you already are close as you
can possibly be
without being the same person,
scientifically speaking.
Well, I mean, unless you were
identical twins.
Or, oh, even better,
if you were clones.
That would be closer,
but-uh, uh uh uh, continue.
Right. Of course.
I just,
I don't know how to handle not being so close anymore.
And you're like such a great
listener, so here I am.
What do you mean by not
being so close anymore?
I mean, like, I have Charlie,
my boyfriend.
And she seems to
have distanced herself
and is best friends with
our old neighbor, Avery.
We never liked her. I mean,
like, at all.
And your point, Mia?
Like, how do I get her to be my
best friend again?
You guys do know that
I'm the science teacher
and not the
school counselor, right?
Right, but you give the best
advice to all your students.
You're like that Mr. Feeny
for my generation.
Mr. Feeny?
Boy Meets World?
Right, Boy Meets World.
Okay, uhm.
Okay, have a seat.
Come on. Here is my hot take.
Mackie's just
probably feeling left out.
- But-
- Ahhhbhhh, but,
wai-wait a minute,
just let me finish.
You have Charlie as your
new boyfriend, right?
You guys spend a
lot of time together.
Who does she have?
I guess no one.
At least not yet!
Exactly.
You and Mackie are growing apart
because you're
developing new relationships.
And that is perfectly normal,
there's wrong with it,
it's a part of life.
And as far as who
she chooses as her friends,
you gotta let Mackie
figure that out for herself.
Just like she didn't
choose your boyfriend,
you can't choose her friends.
I guess I never
thought of it like that.
Look, at the end of the day,
you guys are more than BFFs,
you're sisters, you're family.
And nothing can
ever change that.
Like it or not, you two are
stuck with each other.
You are bonded for life.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go back to grading
papers and hope that at least
some of you have retained some
sort of science knowledge.
Thanks, Mr. Richards.
You're welcome.
Everyone dressing up?
I'm not sure I have
any eighties clothes.
What you see is what you get.
Besides, who needs
special clothes
when you're as charming as me?
Good one, Alex. You have a date?
Not yet, but I have
my eye on someone.
Avery sucking you
back into her web?
Nah dude, she's crazy. I'm good.
I think crazy's kinda cute.
I've got stories dude.
Stay far, far away.
They have history man.
Yeah, summer break,
a while back,
before you transferred to VPA.
Maybe she's changed.
A leopard can't
change it's spots.
- Yo.
- But hey, good luck.
Evil.
¶ You keep my dream- ¶
What do we think?
I love it.
It's stunning.
I mean, so cute.
You guys are too sweet.
Does it really look good?
The color is perfect on you.
There's so many dresses here!
I think I'll try this one on!
Yes? No?
Yes.
You made it!
This girl never turns
down a shopping invite.
What do you think?
Super cute, but definitely
not your color.
Sorry.
Mia! Maybe you should try it?
She's right. It'll totally look
good with your hair.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Uh, be right back.
Mia's turn to model.
It's almost show time
ladies and gentleman!
Stop right there!
Turn around and take that right
back to the kitchen!
Ruby!
Yes ma'am?
Remember our talk
about the punch bowl?
No duh! She wasn't kidding man!
I'm so sorry.
Yeah yeah yeah, it's okay
Oh, okay! Alright
So, which is your favorite?
Oh, you know I
don't play favorites.
The candy?
Oh, oh, it's funny, I-I must
have kids on the brain.
I thought you were
talking about the students.
I can't imagine any of them
being your favorites.
You ready for tonight?
Yeah, sure, uhm almost, yeah.
Ya, I'm ju-but I'm looking for
Mr. Bloom.
Oh, I think he's perfecting his
wardrobe for the evening.
Oh dear, should I be worried?
Places everyone!
It's officially time to go back
to the eighties!
Cue music! Here we go!
I thought Charlie
was picking you up?
I'm just meeting him there.
Okay, I'm ready.
Hate to break it to you, Mom,
but it's not a costume party.
But it's back to
the eighties, right?
Yes!
Perfect! I went right back to
the one and only Material Girl.
Who?
Seriously, Mia?
You need to brush
up on your pop culture.
You look amazing, Madonna.
Thank you!
You two look gorgeous -
I love that color on you Mia.
See?
Did I miss something?
You're not the first
person to tell her
she looks amazing in that color.
Aww, sisterly love.
Not quite.
Okay, well, let's get going,
come on!
This is so incredibly
embarrassing!
Can you go do your
chaperone job?
Please? Earth to mother?
I am not your mother!
Tonight, I am straight
up Paula Abdul!
Lord help us!
Hey Paula - when's your date
gonna get here?
After work,
oh, you're gonna
love his outfit sugar!
Can hardly wait.
Told you. We're late.
Everybody's already here!
Fashionably late.
Meaning right on time.
Look, there are the guys.
Come on, Mia. Have fun, Madonna!
Thanks girls!
Let me guess - Paula Abdul.
Straight up!
You must be Madonna.
I live to tell.
Hey pop stars!
I know who you are... wait,
it's right here.
Flashdance!
I'm so psyched to be here!
Me too! I was gonna say stoked,
but Avery would die if she heard
me talking like that.
Let's go show these kids
how we do eighties.
Totally!
Looks like Paula finally
found her match!
What are you talking about?
Madonna over there.
That's cool our moms
are hanging out tonight.
Seriously?
Aw, one big happy family!
What does that mean?
I can't anymore.
Well, you gotta admit,
our moms look really cute and
Frankie looks amazing too.
She must get those moves from
her cool daughter.
Do you have a problem?
Since you asked, yes.
Mia and I were just about to
have a private conversation.
So if you're done, vamoose.
Vamoose?
Scram! Get out!
What are you doing?
Taking care of business.
By locking me in a
bathroom with you?
By finally getting even.
Get out there, man!
I tried but he cut
right in front of me.
Look at Alex - even he
didn't wast any time.
Wait, why don't I know you?
Are you friends with Avery?
Yeah, like besties.
That's why.
Now get out there and cut in
before a slow song comes on.
You've got this, dude.
- I'm on it.
- Go!
What was all that about?
That joker took my date!
The girls came alone, dude.
I don't think Mackie
was your date.
Whatever. You know what I mean.
And speaking of dates, looks
like you've been stood up.
Never. Come on handsome.
I think that's enough.
We're just getting started!
Super sorry about that.
Told you she's the worst.
Who's what?
Who'd you come to
the dance with, Logan?
Sister.
Same.
Where's yours?
She's being stupid.
She likes that guys that's
hanging out by them,
but doesn't know
how to tell him.
Oh yeah?
Yeah. Stupid.
Never happened to you I suppose?
What?
Like someone and not
really been able to tell them?
Shall we?
She'd love to!
You look like you're
in a good mood.
I think everything is
finally gonna be okay.
Alright, well it looks
like everyone
is enjoying our Spring Fling
and I see a lot of
you all dressed up!
In a little while we'll have a
costume contest
for those of you who
really went for it,
adults included!
Back to the eighties!
Uhh, maybe it's time to put the
clipboard down
and show these kids whats up.
Me?
Us. Come on! Ready?
Here we go. And..... see?
They got it!
Hey baby! You made it!
Where's your costume?
Are your kidding me? This is my
last minute Magnum P.I..
What do you think?
- How do I look?
- You look perfect.
This is good.
Yeah it is.
All four of us finally together.
The fab four.
Forever.
Sorry guys. I'll be right back,
Charlie.
Well, aren't you two cute.
Same.
Thanks BFF.
- Nikki?
- Ooops. My bad.
You know what? I'm just gonna go
get some cupcakes.
BRB.
I'm allergic to peanuts.
Uh, then I'll get red velvet.
I don't eat fabric, Alex.
Hold up!
Woah. That's scary.
Definitely out there.
You ready for the
showcase next week?
You ready to get beat?
Never gonna happen.
I guess we'll just
have to wait and see.
You're on.
I really need to talk to you.
Amber, now's not
really a good time.
It's important.
Like before?
No no no, it's like
really important.
Sorry Logan, I'll be right back.
What is it Amber?
I think Cassidy's
planning something.
What?!
Since you asked.
What are you doing?
- Michael, get the car.
- Alright, Emily! We're going!
Emily!
Wow.
What was that all about?
Avery dramatics, as usual.
It seemed pretty serious, Mia.
Looked pretty silly to me.
What do you mean?
Nothing.
Guess I'm not the only one that
like to eat the frosting first.
Disqualified form the showcase?
Come on, Mia didn't
mean to do it.
What are you talking about?
I mean, I'm sorry you
thought it was okay
to embarrass Avery like that.
Excuse me?
Mia, you know I was just joking.
You planned it.
It was your idea!
You told me what to do.
I think you must have
misunderstood.
Misunderstood? You gave me
specific instructions.
It was your flipping idea!
Principal Rogers, this is
clearly a big mistake.
I merely suggested to Mia
that I saw a joke like that
with a cupcake done in a movie.
She musta completely
misunderstood my intentions.
Are you serious?
Alright, that's enough!
I can't remember when I have
been this disappointed
in any students behavior.
You two can sit out
on the sidelines
and watch your fellow students
get a chance of a lifetime.
That should be sufficient
punishment.
I'll be letting your
parents know.
What gives?
Excuse me?
You're like a nervous
cat about to take a bath.
You know this is huge.
I know!
But the kids are so deserving
and they're all so talented!
I know, I know.
I just can't help-
- she's here. Listen.
Penelope!
Oh my gosh, Ruby!
Well this just took a turn.
Oh my gosh,
where are my manners?
Sorry, uhm...
Julia Hughes Headmistress of
Triad Conservatory of Fine Arts,
this is Principal Rogers and my
long time friend Ruby.
And you two know
each other, how?
Oh, Penelope and I
were best friends
throughout our days here at VPA.
And uh, Principal Rogers
was our Principal too!
And why wasn't I
made aware of this?
I thought you knew.
I hope this is not gonna be a conflict of interest or a problem.
No, no problem.
I just don't like secrets.
I'm sure I mentioned
my alma mater.
It's irrelevant at this point.
We're here.
And our kids are ready for you!
Surprisingly enough, we have
some major talent here.
I think you're gonna
have some tough decisions.
We'll see about that.
I'd like to review their academic transcripts at this time.
Ooh! I-I-I have those.
I'd like some privacy to
thoroughly examine them.
I don't imagine that you've set
aside a green room
for us in this place, have you?
Uh, uh, yes, yes, we have!
Follow me!
I can't believe you
had to leave like that.
I know. I'm sorry.
My Grandma's really sick.
Besides, I can't beat you.
What are you talking about?
You're so good!
Stop, if you were
here you totally-
Family first, Avery.
Dance will always
be there for me,
but my Grandma won't.
You're pretty awesome, ya know?
What do you mean?
I mean, I can't wait
till you get back.
And I'm gonna miss you today.
And maybe miss you tomorrow too.
You're pretty awesome too.
I gotta get going. You're gonna
do great. Good luck!
You okay?
Yeah, it's just weird, ya know?
I get that.
I know what she did was wrong,
but Mia really is a good person.
I don't know what happened.
She said it was
all Cassidy's idea
and that she caught her
in a weak moment.
I can see that happening.
I'm really sorry.
Don't be. It wasn't you.
She's here, they're here!
The showcase starts
in fifteen minutes!
Hey, good luck man.
You too.
Whatever happens.
It's cool.
Cool.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You good?
Yeah. Not really.
Mia?
Yeah. I just,
I thought I knew her.
But I guess not.
I broke up with her.
So you're not sure now?
Yeah.
Just talk to her. We're kids.
We all make mistakes.
- You're right. Thanks, man.
- Yup.
Some of these grades are
certainly less than desirable.
They are artsy kids!
But that does not dismiss their
lack of academic focus.
Even you know that, Penelope.
Yes ma'am.
It's time!
So exciting!
Let's get this over with.
Good afternoon friends,
families and students.
Welcome to the Year End Showcase
for Valley Performing Arts.
Before we get started, I would
like to take this opportunity
to welcome our illustrious guest
of honor from
Triad Conservatory of Fine Arts,
Ms. Julia Hughes.
Ms.
Hughes has already reviewed all of the students academic records.
So she knows who's actually
trying at this school
and those that are just here to expand their creative repertoire.
So without further ado,
let's find out who's going to
win those scholarships
and spend their summer
in New York City!
¶ If his plan was
just to leave me ¶
¶ behind, ignore my words ¶
¶ Pretend my feelings
are nothing ¶
¶ And I just want him
to feel my hurt ¶
¶ He told me I
am something new ¶
¶ But I just
keep on missing ¶
¶ Those late night
we were kissing ¶
¶ Everything was so simple ¶
¶ And you would
lay your head down ¶
¶ My music was
your best sound ¶
¶ And everything
would be alright ¶
¶ I just wanna go back ¶
¶ To how it was ¶

I just can't believe

I had to get up and get sick!
I'm just so bummed, y'all.
It's okay, Mom. Dads here.
I just saw him out
in the audience.
Oooh, good. Show me sugar.
I can't show you mom.
Trust me, he's there.
Yo! Where's Avery?
She's waiting for her
turn to perform.
Is she singin, or or, actin,
or dancin?
I just can't believe
I'm missin this!
It's okay, Mom.
You're right here with us.
Well you know it's just
not the same, is it?
Darn doctor tellin'
me I'm contagious.
I mean what does he know?
Pepper! Pipe down there Pepper!
Take you out later.
Anyway, I think you should just
prop me up on that chair
right over there and then maybe
I can see everything.
Are you serious?
Yes I'm serious.
I am not missin this for nothin!
Alright, I gotta go mom.
I heard you!

¶ and even your lives ¶
¶ now you know
what's really the truth ¶
¶ do you wanna
join the group ¶
Wooahhh wooahh
¶ The group ¶
I am a spirit of no common rate.
The summer still doth
tend upin my state.
And I do love thee,
therefore go with me.
Hey, don't be nervous.
You're a natural.
Natural loser.
Why would you say that?
Who am I kidding?
I talk a good game and I can
fool just about everyone,
but to be honest,
I have the most deep
rooted case of stage fright.
I'm literally terrified to my
core right now.
I had no idea.
No one does. Except Mr. Oliver.
I'm just trying to
learn all I can
here so maybe one day I can be a
great teacher. Someday.
That's seriously epic.
Epic?
As in, you learning everything.
Studying so much.
You, Audrey Snow,
are anything but a loser.
You're inspiring.
You're gonna be great
and I am your biggest fan.
Therefore, go with me;
I'll give thee fairies
to attend on thee,
And they shall fetch
thee jewels from the deep,
And sing while thou on pressed
flowers dost sleep
It shall be called
Bottom's Dream,
because it hath no bottom;
and I will sing it in
the latter end of a play,
before the duke:
peradventure, to make
it the more gracious,
I shall sing it at her death.
Now I but chide;
but I should use thee worse,
If thou hast slain
Lysander in his sleep,
o'er shoes in blood,
plunge in the deep,
And kill me too.
The sun was not so true
unto the day as he to me:
would he have stolen away
from sleeping Hermia?
I am, my lord,
as well derived as he,
As well possess'd;
my love is more than his;
My fortunes every
way as fairly rank'd,
If not of vantage,
as Demetrius';
And, which is more
than all of these boasts,
I am beloved of
beauteous Hermia.
To her, my lord,
Was I betroth'd ere
I saw Hermia:
But, like in sickness,
did I loathe this food;
But, as in health, come to my natural taste,
Now I do wish it, love it, long for it,
And will for evermore
be true to it.
O, I am out of breath
in this fond chase!
The more my prayer,
the lesser is my grace.
Happy is Hermia,
wheresoe'er she lies;
For she hath blessed
and attractive eyes.
How came her eyes so bright?
Not with salt tears:
If so, my eyes are oftener
wash'd than hers.
Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen, To
dew her orbs upon the green.
Trust me, sweet,
Out of this silence yet
I pick'd a welcome;
And in the modesty
of fearful duty
I read as much as from the
rattling tongue
Of saucy and audacious
eloquence.
Love, therefore,
and tongue-tied simplicity
In least speak most,
to my capacity.
Those be rubies, fairy favors,
In those freckles
live their savors:
I must go seek
some dewdrops here
And hang a pearl in
every cowslip's ear.
Farewell, thou lob of spirits;
I'll be gone:
Our queen and all our
elves come here anon.
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands,
if we be friends, And Robin
shall restore amends.
You've got this girl.
I'm going back to watch
from the audience.
It's good to see you Mia.
Thanks, Frankie.
Ana Sophia made it.
She's in the audience with Mom.
That's great.
I don't know what to say
anymore, except, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for being jealous
of you and Avery,
I'm sorry for
listening to Cassidy,
I'm sorry for everything.
I'm not the one you hurt, Mia.
I know. I talked to Avery.
- You did?
- I did.
- That musta been hard.
- It's what I had to do.
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks.
For old times sake?
Always.
Avery! Hey, what's goin on?
Oh will you just move
me a little bit to the left.
I can't see anything.
Avery? Avery!
You come back here! You-
Well... well.... well.
Now that wasn't so bad,
now was it?
I'm just kidding of course.
Let's give all of our performers
another round of applause.
While our Ms. Hughes figures out the scholarship winners,
we have a little surprise.
Please welcome to the stage the younger sister of our very own Nikki
and a future VPA star,
Miss Natalie Johnson.
Now wasn't that delightful.
That was phenomenal.
So Ms. Hughes have
you made your decision?
Yes, our decisions
are finalized.
Ahh, I have here in my hand, the
names of three winners-
What? What are
you talking about?
Excuse me?
One boy and one girl from the three categories in the performing arts.
Voice, dance, drama.
You clearly did not get
my very explicit email.
Well, now, uh, this is an
awkward moment.
And, uh, if I did screw it up,
at least it benefits the students!
Let's get on with it!
Oh isn't this interesting. I-I
guess that works. Oh, sorry.
Well here we go!
Well here we go! In the category
of acting, the winners are
Alex Waller and Audrey Snow.
Our next two awardees
are from the singing class.
Congratulations to Charlie
Roberts and Summer Snyder.
And finally, the scholarships
for dance are being given to..
Are we sure here?
Alrighty then.
And finally the dance award
scholarships go to
Rocky Frank and Mackie Castillo.
Miss Hughes would like to speak.
Oh, okay.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls,
as much as we're very excited
for these six on the stage,
Miss Julia Hughes herself has
another announcement.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
After watching the performances
today I was quite literally
astonished at the level of
talent at your meager school.
I'm announcing something
unprecedented in the history
of the prestigious Triad
Conservatory of Fine Arts.
Today, we're awarding two additional full summer scholarships
for students that we
feel are triple threats.
Now, not only do these two have
absolutely stellar
academic transcripts,
but they have the talent to
match in all three categories.
So without any further ado,
Principal,
you may do the honors.
I can't believe this is
happening!
The triple threat
scholarships go to
James Grant and Avery Adams.
¶ Close your eyes and
don't look down ¶
¶ Can you feel the thunder
inside of us? ¶
This is certainly a history
making day
for Valley Performing Arts.
Let's celebrate all the winners.
Congratulations.
