"Listen up, guys." "This is a bye week so you all know what that means." "No games and no practice for the rest of the week." " Don't get too excited." "I know you knuckleheads get into trouble when you have time off." "So I'm keeping my eye on you." " So, Bella, are you gonna use bye week to braid your girly friends' hair and have pillow fights?" " What are you talking about?" " Sorry, I've never been friends with a girl before." " You have a sister." " We're not friends." " Anyway, Sophie and Pepper are going to a cheer retreat, so I'm going to have some 'me' time." "Do you guys have any plans?" " We do--ooo." " Okay." " But we can't tell you." "It's a super secret tradition." " Ooh, that sounds fun." "I like secrets." " Look, Bella, we'd be happy to invite you to join us, but we can't-- because we don't want to." " Guys, I got the funnel for the-- thing that we're definitely not doing Friday night." " Relax, I was curious, not obsessed." "Anyway, I've gotta go." "Kyle always seems to be in the hallway after practice and I'm gonna pretend to bump into him." "He is so cute!" "Oh, Kyle, you're here." "I didn't expect that." " Yeah." "I've been taking this route because it's easier to get to my bus and the really good water fountain is over here." "And, uh, do you wanna go out with me tomorrow night?" " Yeah!" "Uh, that sounds cool." " So, uh, where do you wanna go on our date?" " Ooh, let me think." "Can you hang on for a second?" "This bye week's gonna be amazing!" "♪ Oh, yeah!" "Oh, yeah!" "♪" "♪ Uh-huh!" "Uh-huh!" "Uh-huh!" "♪" " Okay, we cannot let her do that in the end zone." " ♪" " ♪ You won't find me in the bleachers ♪" " ♪ Yeah that girl is one of us ♪" " ♪ I'm made of spice and sugar ♪" " ♪ She's pretty..."

" You're going on your first date ever." "How exciting is this?" " So exciting I can't stop doing this dance." " Oh." "Okay." "Happy now." "Get it all out now." "You don't wanna dorky dance on your first date." "Or it could be your last date." " I know." "Sorry." "I'm just so happy." "For so long, something has always gotten in the way of Kyle and me." "Well, not this time." " You should be happy." "A first date is such a huge deal." "And you know what a first date leads to?" " A second date?" " Oh, well, yeah, that, too." "But you know what I was thinking?" "He's gonna ask you to be his girlfriend!" " Woo, the "g" word!" " I've been trying not to think about it." "But now that you brought it up, I'm freaking out." "How do I look?" " You look great." "But go with the flats I brought." " I like the booties." " They make you taller." "It might be intimidating to Kyle." " Mm, but guys like a girl who can look 'em in the eye." " I can see that." "She should stick with the booties." " No, you're right." "She should wear the flats." " Or open-toe?" " Nervous feet tend to sweat." " Guys, you're making me sweat!" " Bells, don't worry." "This night's gonna go great." " Thank you." "I'll give you all the highlights after your cheer retreat." " Oh, that's right." "Pepper, we have to go." "The bus leaves in half an hour." " Uh, have fun and don't overthink it." "You look perfect." "But maybe take off that belt." " And maybe put your hair up." " Maybe we should stay and help." " Get out!" "Love you!" " ♪" " The Cheer Leadership Retreat." "Ugh, who comes up with the name for these things?" " I did." " If you'd let me finish." "Who comes up with the name for these things 'cause I wanna shake their hand." "Good job there." " No way." "Misty McIntosh is a guest speaker?" "I've idolized her for years." " Me, too!" "She's the only reason I got into cheering in the first place." " I heard her pouf never goes flat--ever." "Not even in the rain." " Well, I heard that she's so technically skilled that she once tossed herself in the air, did a full flip and caught herself on the way down." "I admit that was a little suspicious." " There she is, Pepper, look!" " Misty McIntosh!" " Rock, paper, scissors." "The one that gets to sit with her." " Okay." " Rock, paper" " Scissors." "Shoot." " I'm sorry, Bella." "I didn't know we'd need reservations at the sushi place." "I feel bad that you got all dressed up." " These boots aren't too tall, are they?" "So you think I should have worn flats?" " Yeah, sure!" "Wait, what are flats?" " Shoes." "Flat shoes." " Oh, right." "No." "No, I like shoes." "Your shoes." "I'm sorry, I'm really nervous." "My dad's in between jobs right now, so he had way too much time to bug me with first date advice-- get the door, tell her she looks pretty, wear a vest." " You're not wearing a vest." " Like I said--really nervous." " Don't worry." " My friends made me nervous, too." "If I took their advice, I'd be wearing two belts." " You are." " Oh, no!" " I'm just kidding." " Ah...so, uh, what do we do first?" " We could do this for a while." " Why didn't we go on a date when we first met?" " Because we were six and you thought you were Batman, so..." " I'm sorry." "We didn't order this." " Actually, I did." "Thank you." "I've known you since the first grade, Bella." "You always eat your dessert first." " I do!" "I do do that!" "But we just got here." "How'd you make this happen?" " I have my ways." " Um, I've gonna save this little hat so that when we're old," "I can always remember our first date together." "Not that I'm already thinking we're gonna grow old together." "That was weird." "Sorry, still nervous." "Oh, look, cake." "Oh!" " It's a real honor to sit next to you." "I've idolized you for years." "I named my gerbil after you-- Mini-Misty McIntosh." "I named my second one after you, too." "And my third, and my fourth." "We also have a cat-- a very hungry cat." " Well, it's nice to meet a fan." " Oh, I am!" "I have to know--in that movie "Cheer It On,"" "did they really base that character Melissa on you?" " Yeah." "They wanted me for the part, but it was during Nationals, so I couldn't do it." " I'm so lucky to sit next to you." " I am so lucky that you sat next to me." "Don't let that yarn fall on the floor." " Yeah." "I know." "I heard you the first time." " You know, it was nice of your dad to let us use his clubs tomorrow night, dude." " Well, he normally doesn't let anyone touch them." "They're his most prized possessions." " Here's Coach comin'." " Troy, what's under your arm?" " It's my..." "Bulldog armpit warmer." "Warm!" " Uh-huh." "I'll be watchin' you and your armpit." "That didn't come out right, but you know what I'm saying." " Oh, my gosh, I was so excited," "I tried to call my girls three times." "Then I realized they're out of cell phone range, but I've got to tell someone so I'm telling you." "I had the best date ever with Kyle last night." " Do you think he's gonna ask you to be his girlfriend?" " I hope so." " It's all happening." " Nothing?" "My girls are out of town right now." "Can't you give me anything?" " Yay-hay-hay." "Hee." " That's good news...bro." " Hey, there's your guy now." " Bella, can I talk to you for a minute--in private?" " Sure." " I had a really great time on the date last night." " Me, too." " Unfortuantely..." " Unfortunately?" " My dad found out this morning that he finally got a new job." "But it's in Dallas." "I know it's sudden, but... we have to move in a few days." "Please, say something." " I just..." "I don't know what to say." " Bella..." " So I guess she's off to get ready for the second date." "It really is all happening." " Good job, bro." " Okay, look, on Friday night, we meet up here and" "What's that?" "It sounds like someone crying." " You know what?" "I bet Coach checked in on that feisty lunch lady again and got shut down." " I don't think those tender sniffles are Coach-- this time." "Hey, Bella, are you okay in there?" " Hey, guys." " Girl tears!" " What's up, girl?" "Allergies?" "Choppin' onions?" "Yeah, you're good, right?" " Did something happen with Kyle?" " There is no Kyle." "Not any more." "His family's moving to Dallas for his dad's new job." " Um...guys, a word." "We have to do something." " Look, I am not qualified for this level of girl sadness." "The Troy breaks hearts." "You know he doesn't fix them." " Whenever my chickens start feelin' moody," "I just ruffle their feathers and tell them it's gonna be okay." "If it works on a chicken, it'll work on a girl." "Bella?" "It'll be okay." " How is it going to be okay?" " Is it too late to run?" " Look, the girls will know what to do." "Newt, you have Sophie's number, right?" " I do, but she blocked my phone." "I just love how she plays hard to get." "I'll call Pepper instead." " It won't matter." "You can't reach them." "Just forget it, guys." "There's nothing you boys can do." "Hello?" "Is Bella in there?" " That's Kyle." "I--I can't do this right now." "I'm a mess." "Guys, if you really want to help, tell him I'm not here." " Hey, guys, have you seen Bella?" "I really need to talk to her." " She's not here." " She's indisposed." "In the bathroom." "She'll be a while." "She's...you know?" " He doesn't know what he's talking about." " She's not there." " I get it." "She doesn't wanna see me right now." "When you see her, tell her that I said goodbye." "And I didn't want it to end like this." " Thanks, guys, but can I have some time alone?" "I need to think." " Yeah." " Of course." " Whew!" "I thought she was gonna ask us to stay." " Hey, Bella, sorry we don't have football practice this week." "It would have been a good distraction for you." "We're so far out in the boonies," "I can't reach Bella to see how her date went." " Or tell her about me and Misty." "It's all happening so fast." "First, we're sitting next to each other on the bus and now we're having a girls' night when we get back." "Well, it's still in the planning stage." "She doesn't know about it." "But it's gonna happen." " Mrs. Bert invited me to a girls' night, too." "She's gonna knit us fluffy robes." "This trip bites." " Misty!" "Hey, bus buddy!" " Hey, you." "You know what?" "I was thinking today I'd sit next to her." " Me?" " Yeah, sure." " Awesome." "I mean, I guess I can hang out with you." "I'll get us seats up front." "You can have the window." " But did I do something wrong?" " Oh, no, you're great." "I just always switch up who I sit with." "It keeps things interesting, you know?" " Oh, okay." " Get in here, bus buddy!" "I saved us a seat on the hump." " ♪" " ♪ It's bye week Friday ♪" "♪ We're finally goin'-- ♪" " Up!" "Down!" " What are you doin'?" " Oh, hey, guys." "Since there's no practice this week, just thought I'd work in a few drills." "Up!" "Down!" " Uh, okay, well... at least you're not cryin' anymore." " Yep, no more tears." "I'm not gonna cry about him, not gonna think about him, not gonna doodle "Mrs. Kyle Dawson-Webber"" "in my journal anymore." " Why the sudden change of heart?" " Life's too short to cry over something that was never going to happen." "So, I took your advice and I found a distraction." "I've been working out like crazy." "Ooh, and now I'm gonna go over my playbook for a few hours, then I'm gonna clean my locker--again." "Woo-hoo!" "Yeah!" " Okay, I have watched enough "Oprah" with my gram-gram to know that girl is totally in denial." " She seems fine to me." "She's just cleaning' her locker and organizing her shampoo." " Tangerine Mist, what are you doing next to Coco Loco?" "You're citrus--deal with it!" " Yeah, Newt's right." "Coco ain't the only thing loco, you know what I'm sayin'?" "Girl needs some help." " Girlfriend help." "And while Sophie and Pepper are gone, guess what?" "We're her replacement girlfriends." " We're not equipped to be girlfriends." " We're not girlfriends, but Bella needs us." "We've gotta do something to help her feel better." " I know what always makes me feel better." " No, man, we can't take her with us." "That's our super-secret tradition." " Yeah, but, dude, she's our QB and our friend." "Plus, if we don't fix this now, she might start talkin' to her deodorant." " Fine, she can come with us." "But, Newt, you'd better not call me "girlfriend."" " That's a term of endearment." " Yes, among girlfriends." " I don't think Mrs. Bert even knows how to knit." "I mean, that sweater has way too many arms." "Or maybe she's just married to an octopus." "You're funny." "It's nice to be sitting next to you, instead of Pepper." "She talked my ear off the whole way up." " Oh..." "If you really wanna get Pepper going, talk to her about Paris." "She loves everything French." "I mean, she's always like, "It's croissant, not crawzzant."" " Well, thankfully, I'm not gonna talk to her about anything ever again." " Oh, come on." "She's really sweet." "She was probably just really excited to meet you." " Of course, she was." "Every little dorky cheer wanna-be like her is excited to meet me." "But that girl might be the most annoying one I've ever met." " Whoa, don't you think you might be exaggerating just a little?" "I mean, she's" " No, no, no!" "She is the worst." "I would rather eat my pompoms than listen to her for one more second." " Wow." "You know, yesterday I was super jealous that" "Pepper got to sit next to you." "But now, I can't believe I ever looked up to you." "You're a jerk." " Excuse me?" " Yeah, you heard right." "Oh, and by the way, everyone knows you stuff your pouf." "Pass me some yarn." " What happened?" "Did Misty send you away to keep things interesting?" " No, I just thought I'd rather sit back here." " Did she say anything about me?" " Yeah, um, she said you're super cool." " Oh, thank goodness." "I was so worried." "Does Misty want me to come back and sit with her?" " Um, well, I-- - 'Cause it's kind of exhausting sitting next to Misty and, honestly," "I'd rather sit next to you." " You should stay here." "I'd like that." " Did, uh, Misty say anything about me?" " No." "No." " ♪" " I present to you the answer to all your problems" "Melfing." " We call it that" " Because you're golfing with melons." " It was a mistake to bring her." " Guys, I don't even know why I'm here in the first place." "I'm fine." " An hour ago, you were scolding your shampoo." "You're not fine." " Look, I know it looks dumb, but hitting these rotten melons as hard as we can has helped us through more bad times than we can remember." " Guys, I appreciate it, but I really don't" " Watch, non-believer." "I hate that I have to share a room with my sister, but all the pigs get their own pens!" " Why doesn't Sophie like me?" "Wait." "Does she?" "Why doesn't Sophie like me?" " I can't believe I got replaced by a girl QB!" "Sorry." "You weren't supposed to be here." " Now you try, Bella." "It'll help you feel better." "Okay, can I go now?" " Bella, can you just listen to us?" "We're trying to be your girlfriends" "I mean, we're just trying to help you." " How is hitting a bunch of rotten melons supposed to help me?" "This is so dumb." "And frustrating." "Just like my life." "I waited so long for Kyle and me to happen and now, like that, it's over?" " All I've ever wanted is for us to be together." "And something always got in the way" "Charlotte Newman, fake dating and now Dallas?" "It isn't fair!" " Bella, you" " Sawyer, if you say something else about chicken," "I will start crying and I won't stop until the playoffs." " I was gonna ask what's in the way tonight?" " What?" " You and Kyle." "What's keeping you apart right now?" " Well...nothing." " Right and he's leaving, but he's not gone yet." " You're right." "I gotta go, but thanks, guys." "Melfing was awesome." "You're great girlfriends." "Especially you, Sawyer." " Dude, you hit it right in the field." " Sawyer, that was the most emotionally-aware thing" "I've ever heard you say." " Honestly, I was just gonna say something else about chickens." "Don't know where the rest of that came from." "Total freestyle." " Aha!" "I knew you guys were up to something." " Coach, we were just" " Oh, relax, Dixon." "This looks like fun." "Hand me that club." "Ooh!" "Ooh!" "Ooh!" "Ooh!" "Run!" "Run!" "Run!" " My dad's golf clubs!" "Nah!" " Bella?" "What are you doing here?" " I wanted to say I'm sorry for hiding out from you earlier when you came to say goodbye." "It was totally uncool to avoid you like that." " I know." "No, I mean, I totally get it." "Can I be totally honest with you about something?" "I was kinda bummed that you weren't going to be my first boyfriend." " Me, too." "I would have really liked that." " Well, what's keeping us apart right now?" " Bella Dawson, will you be my girlfriend?" " Absolutely." "So..." "What do we do now?" " We could do this for a while." " Hey, we're back in cell phone range." "And I have like a hundred messages." " Me, too." "Hey, girls, what's up?" "Typical Wednesday here." "Just got back from an awesome date with Kyle." "So excited!" " Nice." "Kyle's leaving!" "My whole world's collapsing!" "My heart's breaking!" " Typical Thursday." "Uh-oh." "Hey, girls, just did a hundred sit-ups." "Might pump out a hundred more." "You know, typical Friday." " This can't be good." "Hey, girls, forget my other messages." "I have a boyfriend!" "but I'm gonna make them the best two days ever." " Wow, we missed a lot." " I guess so." "Oh, I still have one message." " Hey, Pepper, what's up?" "It's Newt." "Um, so this message is for Sophie and" " That's enough voice mails for today."
