01x08 - A Good Bye Week

[bunniefuu]

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.

me in the bleachers ♪

- That's adorable!

- 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. sh**t.

- 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 cleanin' 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.
