Sixth grade dance, Saturday
night presented by...
Booker and Tess.
What are you talking about?
My mom's doing all the work.
She's doing all
the planning and stuff,
but we're in charge of swag.
I thought you guys were
in charge of plates and cups.
Yeah, we are.
And they gon' be lit!
That's a Booker
and Tess guarantee.
I'll be so glad
when this dance is over.
It's all you guys
have been talking about.
It's a big deal!
It's our first dance.
I heard the best part
is when everyone
gets in a dance circle
and shows off their moves.
I-Is that true?
You have to dance by yourself
in front of everyone?
Yeah! And if you're really good,
they put a spotlight on you!
What happens if you're bad?
They put a spotlight on you!
I gotta figure out which one of my
sweet, sweet moves to bust first.

Uh, Chels?
Whatcha doing here?
Picking up the kids!
Chels, today is my day
to pick up the kids.
I pick up the kids on Thursday.
Ohhh. Yeah, yeah.
- You do.
- Yeah.
It's Friday.
Oh, Chels, it is.
Oh my goodness,
work has gotten me
so turned around.
I spent all day Tuesday
sewing a dress for a dog
named Wednesday,
which is why I thought
it was Thursday.
I can't wait for Saturday.
Hey, Montell!
Lookin' good in
those pinstripes.
Oh, Chelsea,
you're gonna make me blush.
Hello, Miss Baxter.
- Please call me Raven.
- I'd rather not.
I can't thank you
enough for volunteering
to plan our big dance
tomorrow night.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Uh, Chels, you didn't tell me
you were planning the dance.
Yeah, I did. I told you yesterday
when you were watching TV.
Girl, The Rock was on.
I don't listen to anything
when The Rock is on.
Miss Baxter, will you
be contributing to the dance,
or is Chelsea volunteering
for the both of you?
As usual.
Uh, no. No, actually,
this is why I am here.
I am here to volunteer
my services as chaperon,
because keeping kids from doing
what they wanna do
is my specialty.
We have enough chaperons,
but if I'm not mistaken,
we are looking for volunteers
to make cupcakes.
Cupcakes!
Those are easy!
- How many?
- 500.
What?
Five hundred.
- Who's eating the cup...
- Rae.
You don't have to do this.
Yeah. One of our more involved
parents will take care of it.
No, no, no, no.
This involved parent is going
to be making 500 cupcakes.
- Don't you worry about that.
- Excuse me one second.
Rae, that's...
a lot of cupcakes!
Are you sure? I mean, you
have a ton of work to do.
No, no, no, I got this, Chels.
Don't worry about it.
I got it all under control.
Sign me up.
That's very generous
of you, Miss Baxter.
Bye, Chelsea!
Bye!
Mom, what are you doing here?
Aunt Chelsea picks
us up on Fridays.
Oh, I'm here to volunteer
for the dance.
You thought it was
Thursday, didn't you?
You want a ride or not?
I'm trying to pick
an outfit for the dance.
- How 'bout this one?
- Everybody's seen you in that!
- What about this one?
- Nobody should see you in that!
You're right. I'm just gonna
wear my blue sweater.
But I was gonna wear
my blue sweater!
Everybody'll think
we're twinsies!
You are twinsies.
No.
We're two unique individuals
who just happened
to double-book a womb.
Who cares about your dress?
You should be worried
about your shoes.
If you're gonna
dance in a circle,
you need maximum traction.
Yeah. I heard last year
Shayla Townsend slipped
and took out
the whole dessert table.
She was so embarrassed, her and
her family had to move to Alaska.
I heard her dad got a new job.
Coincidence? I think not.
So what are you gonna do
for your dance?
Um, yeah!
I was thinking, maybe,
a little something like this.
Is that it?
No! No! I was kidding!
I would never do
a dance like that.
Nia, don't mess
with me like that!
I'm in charge of swag!
That right there wasn't swag.
I know, I know.
I'm now gonna go in my room
and practice my real dance...
which is nothing like
what you guys just saw!
Levi, check it out!
You're gonna love this.
When Aunt Chelsea first put us
in charge of cups and plates,
I thought it was
gonna be lame, but...
I feel like we really found
a way to put our stamp on it.
And check it out.
I'm on the cups.
Man, I love these.
Every time someone
gets their snack on,
they're gonna be reminded who's
responsible for this awesome dance.
This is why the dance is lame!
Everybody's gonna blame us!
Tess, I just saw the dance!
You said it was lame!
Everybody's gonna blame us!
You said that, too.
We can't let the dance be lame.
We put our names
all over that dance.
And your faces.
This is Aunt Chelsea's
dance binder.
Everything she has planned
for the dance is in here.
Balloons? Streamers?
This thing's so generic,
it's like a 3-pack
of white T-shirts!
We gotta do something!
Hey, Aunt Chels!
Anything we can do
to help you with the dance?
Oh! That is so sweet.
Tomorrow's gonna be crazy.
I gotta stop at the party
store, the grocery store,
and I still gotta help
set up the gym.
Hey, well, since we're
part of the swag committee,
maybe we should go
down to the gym early
and help set it up for you.
Really? Oh!
That would be a huge help!
It should be pretty easy.
All the plans are right
there in that binder.
- Plans.
- Binder. Got it!
Well, thanks, you guys!
- No problem.
- This saves me a bunch!
Time for a new and improved
sixth grade dance!
Still presented
by Booker and Tess.

Hey, Rae!
What are you doing here?
I thought you had
a ton of work to do.
I do. Paisley's got me
making graduation gowns
for an entire
dog obedience class.
Oh!
Hey! This is adorable.
Who's the, uh, vale-bark-torian?
Don't make it worse, Chels.
She said that as long as I finish
all the gowns by tomorrow,
then I can work from home.
Oh, cool! Then I can help
you with those cupcakes!
No! No, no, no!
I don't need help.
Thank you though, but no,
because I can do it all.
You know, I can
work a full-time job,
raise two kids,
and make cupcakes.
All while looking cute.
Exhibit A.
Are you sure, Rae?
You worked late all week.
You must be exhausted.
I am, but I'll be okay 'cause
I got a system. You ready?
Station One: Sew.
Station Two: Prep.
Station Three: Bake.
Station Four: Cool.
Station One, sew again.
It's a piece of cupcake.
Okay. Seems like you
got it all under control.
I do! I do!
I got all my stations.
You know what? I have it so
under control, I'm Super Mom!
I might even stop by the hospital
later and give some blood.
Hey, Mom. What are you doing?
I volunteered to make
cupcakes for your dance.
Oh, no! Is something wrong
with Aunt Chelsea? Is she sick?!
No, she's not sick!
I can volunteer!
Of course you can!
I think it's awesome.
Fantastic. Surprising.
Why are you in my kitchen?
Do you remember
your sixth-grade dance?
Oh! Like it was yesterday.
Did you get in the dance circle?
Actually, no, because
we didn't have a dance circle.
We had a dance line.
Ooh, girl, and I vogued
all up and down that line.
I was like,
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Yes!
Sh-blam, baby! Sh-blam!
I'm feeling a little nervous about
dancing in front of everybody.
Oh, sweetheart.
You shouldn't feel nervous.
You're a great dancer.
You get it from your mom's
side of the family.
Heh. You're welcome.
But what if they put
a spotlight on me?
A spotlight?
Well, then,
you bite your bottom lip,
and you kill it, girl!
Did that help you?
Uh, I guess?
You're welcome.
Now, if you'll stop
distracting me,
I'm trying to be more
involved in your life.
I was thinking, if we're
gonna save the dance,
we need a cool theme.
And I've got the perfect idea,
inspired by something
my dad sent me from Texas.
Was he mad at you?
What? This is awesome.
And it'll go perfect
with our theme.
"Western Nights."
Ma'am.
Cool, cool.
Except what if we did
something completely different?
I'm thinking
old-school hip hop.
Um, yeah, I like
where you're going.
There's just one problem.
He also gave me boots.
Dude, we gotta get
on the same page,
or this will never work!
You're right.
One of us is just gonna
have to give in.
I totally agree.
So, you're cool with that?
Yeah, as long as
you're cool with it.
- I'm cool if you're cool.
- I'm cool.
We make a legit awesome team.
Why don't we work together
more often?
'Cause we're both kinda bossy
and we don't like to compromise.
Ah. That's it.
- See ya tomorrow!
- See ya!

Tired.
I'm so tired.
Gotta make the cupcakes!
Make the cupcake...
- Auntie Rae?
- I don't wanna go to school, Mommy!
Auntie Rae? -"Twinkle, Twinkle"
and "ABC's" is the same song.
Auntie Rae!
I'm okay.
I don't think you are.
You were sleepwalking.
Was I also sleep-sewing
and sleep-baking?
- Looked like it.
- Then why'd you wake me up?
There were a lot of unsafe
things happening.
Fair enough.
It's the middle of the night.
What are you doing up?
I came out to grab a banana.
I had a nightmare
that my potassium was low.
Oh, okay. Well, here.
Pretend this is a banana.
I know I should go back to bed,
but I think I'm gonna
make you some coffee.
Oh, that's so sweet, Levi.
Thank you.
Levi, you smell that?

- Is that your dance?
- Levi!
Why is everyone
so jumpy around me?
I live here. I'm gonna show up.
I was working on
my move for tonight.
And nothing feels good enough
for the dance circle.
I thought dances were
supposed to be fun.
Yeah. Me, too.
But this is making me crazy.
Well, if it was me, I'd just go out
there and shake my groove thing.
Also known as my tush!
- It's not that simple, Levi.
- Why not?
Sixth grade's just different.
It's like every little thing
that you do matters.
And everyone's watching,
and judging every single move!
Don't grow up, Levi.
Promise me you'll never grow up.
You're hurting my shoulders.
Sorry.
I really think you're putting too
much pressure on this dance.
You're right!
It's so simple!
How did I not see it?
I'll go to the dance
and I just... I won't dance!
Thanks, Levi.
That's not what I said!

Don't worry, buckaroos.
Any minute now, my cowgirl Tess
will be hauling in the rest
of our western decorations.
What up?
I'm in here like headgear!
They didn't have boomboxes
in the old west.
Which is why it was whack!
What's with all this
cowboy stuff?
I'm trying to save the dance.
No, I'm trying
to save the dance.
That's why we agreed on hip hop.
We didn't say that.
We're doing "Western Nights."
We agreed somebody
was gonna have to give in.
Yeah, you!
The whole sixth grade's
gonna be here any minute.
We put our names
all over this dance.
Our reps are on the line.
If you were really worried
about your rep,
you wouldn't be wearing
that hat.
Ooh!
Think I'm done being
your partner, partner.
And I'm not letting you
ruin the dance.
Mosey on outta here. Go on!
That's how you wanna play this?
What is going on?
You two were supposed
to help me!
This place is a mess!
Well, I hate to say it,
but we're gonna have
to cancel the dance.
She's right.
This is why the dance is lame.
- Everybody's gonna...
- Blame us.
I know, I know.

Please, Aunt Chelsea,
you can't cancel the dance!
We have to!
There's so much stuff in here,
there's not even
any room to dance!
What were you two thinking?
We wanted to make sure
tonight was gonna be great.
But then Tess picked
a dumb theme and ruined it!
I didn't pick a dumb theme!
- You picked a dumb theme!
- Both of you stop it.
This was gonna be so nice.
I had the whole thing
planned out.
I guess I'll go tell
Principal Wentworth.
But this is our first
middle school dance!
Everybody was looking
forward to it.
The... there's got to be
something we can do.
Will you help us?
Please?
Oh, you're lucky
I love you two.
But listen, if we're
gonna pull this off,
you have to do exactly
what I say.
I can't believe our whole job
is to sit here on the bench.
Probably for the best.
Alright, you! I want some
balloons out here now, okay?
You, that banner needs
to be much higher!
Alright, and could you
please put that giant clock

Oh, hey, Rae! Cool hat!
No, don't touch it!
It's covering up some frosting.
- You did it.
- No, I didn't, Chels.
I failed.
I made all my gowns, but I only made,
like, 300 cupcakes.
Make that 276.
- It's okay, Rae.
- No, Chels, it's not okay.
I tried to do everything,
and I couldn't do it.
Well, why didn't you
just let me help you?
Because you're always
volunteering.
And I never get to do
stuff like this for my kids.
I'm always working.
I'm never there for them.
What?
That is not true!
I mean, yeah,
you work a lot, but...
you are there for your kids.
I mean, you make them breakfast,
you help them
with their homework.
Tuck them in at night.
You don't have
to make 500 cupcakes
to prove you're an
involved parent, Rae.
This single mother thing
is really hard, Chels.
I know, Rae.
But you're not alone.
We're a team!
We just have to help each other.
Now, let's go to the store
and buy the rest
of these cupcakes.
Wait a second, Chels!
I can't buy them.
I'm supposed to make them.
Oh, no! You just take
the price tag off,
mess up the frosting
a little bit.
No one knows the difference.
Well, in that case,
can we buy some...

Man, I love these.
Every time someone
gets their snack on,
they're gonna be reminded who's
responsible for this awesome dance.
This is why the dance is lame!
Everybody's gonna blame us!
Tess, I just saw the dance!
You said it was lame!
Everybody's gonna blame us!
You said that, too.
We can't let the dance be lame.
We put our names
all over that dance.
And your faces.
This is Aunt Chelsea's
dance binder.
Everything she has planned
for the dance is in here.
Balloons? Streamers?
This thing's so generic,
it's like a 3-pack
of white T-shirts!
We gotta do something!
Hey, Aunt Chels!
Anything we can do
to help you with the dance?
Oh! That is so sweet.
Tomorrow's gonna be crazy.
I gotta stop at the party
store, the grocery store,
and I still gotta help
set up the gym.
Hey, well, since we're
part of the swag committee,
maybe we should go
down to the gym early
and help set it up for you.
Really? Oh!
That would be a huge help!
It should be pretty easy.
All the plans are right
there in that binder.
- Plans.
- Binder. Got it!
Well, thanks, you guys!
- No problem.
- This saves me a bunch!
Time for a new and improved
sixth grade dance!
Still presented

Hey, Rae!
What are you doing here?
I thought you had
a ton of work to do.
I do. Paisley's got me
making graduation gowns
for an entire
dog obedience class.
Oh!
Hey! This is adorable.
Who's the, uh, vale-bark-torian?
Don't make it worse, Chels.
She said that as long as I finish
all the gowns by tomorrow,
then I can work from home.
Oh, cool! Then I can help
you with those cupcakes!
No! No, no, no!
I don't need help.
Thank you though, but no,
because I can do it all.
You know, I can
work a full-time job,
raise two kids,
and make cupcakes.
All while looking cute.
Exhibit A.
Are you sure, Rae?
You worked late all week.
You must be exhausted.
I am, but I'll be okay 'cause
I got a system. You ready?
Station One: Sew.
Station Two: Prep.
Station Three: Bake.
Station Four: Cool.
Station One, sew again.
It's a piece of cupcake.
Okay. Seems like you
got it all under control.
I do! I do!
I got all my stations.
You know what? I have it so
under control, I'm Super Mom!
I might even stop by the hospital
later and give some blood.
Hey, Mom. What are you doing?
I volunteered to make
cupcakes for your dance.
Oh, no! Is something wrong
with Aunt Chelsea? Is she sick?!
No, she's not sick!
I can volunteer!
Of course you can!
I think it's awesome.
Fantastic. Surprising.
Why are you in my kitchen?
Do you remember
your sixth-grade dance?
Oh! Like it was yesterday.
Did you get in the dance circle?
Actually, no, because
we didn't have a dance circle.
We had a dance line.
Ooh, girl, and I vogued
all up and down that line.
I was like,
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Yes!
Sh-blam, baby! Sh-blam!
I'm feeling a little nervous about
dancing in front of everybody.
Oh, sweetheart.
You shouldn't feel nervous.
You're a great dancer.
You get it from your mom's
side of the family.
Heh. You're welcome.
But what if they put
a spotlight on me?
A spotlight?
Well, then,
you bite your bottom lip,
and you kill it, girl!
Did that help you?
Uh, I guess?
You're welcome.
Now, if you'll stop
distracting me,
I'm trying to be more
involved in your life.
I was thinking, if we're
gonna save the dance,
we need a cool theme.
And I've got the perfect idea,
inspired by something
my dad sent me from Texas.
Was he mad at you?
What? This is awesome.
And it'll go perfect
with our theme.
"Western Nights."
Ma'am.
Cool, cool.
Except what if we did
something completely different?
I'm thinking
old-school hip hop.
Um, yeah, I like
where you're going.
There's just one problem.
He also gave me boots.
Dude, we gotta get
on the same page,
or this will never work!
You're right.
One of us is just gonna
have to give in.
I totally agree.
So, you're cool with that?
Yeah, as long as
you're cool with it.
- I'm cool if you're cool.
- I'm cool.
We make a legit awesome team.
Why don't we work together
more often?
'Cause we're both kinda bossy
and we don't like to compromise.
Ah. That's it.
- See ya tomorrow!
- See ya!

Auntie Rae? -"Twinkle, Twinkle"

Auntie Rae!
I'm okay.
I don't think you are.
You were sleepwalking.
Was I also sleep-sewing

- Looked like it.
- Then why'd you wake me up?
There were a lot of unsafe
things happening.
Fair enough.
It's the middle of the night.
What are you doing up?
I came out to grab a banana.
I had a nightmare
that my potassium was low.
Oh, okay. Well, here.
Pretend this is a banana.
I know I should go back to bed,

Sixth grade's just different.

Don't grow up, Levi.
Promise me you'll never grow up.
You're hurting my shoulders.
Sorry.
I really think you're putting too
much pressure on this dance.

thanks for fixing everything.
Tonight was awesome.
You throw a pretty epic dance.
I do, don't I?
Man, this place is trashed.
