01x10 - Tornado Afraido

[bunniefuu]

♪

Bella, Newt, Troy, Sawyer: [Panting]

Yeah, well, I hope you
jokers learned your lesson.

You disrupt my practise,
you run extra laps.

But, Coach, we weren't trying to...

Uh-buh-buh-buh-buh. No
time for excuses, Dawson.

Rain's coming. I don't want to be late.

I've got a hot date
with a spicy little dish.

Chicken tamales, it's you and me.

[Kissing book]

Thanks a lot, guys.

Because y'all wouldn't stop
making me laugh during drills,

I'm going to be late for
Pepper's birthday party.

Don't blame us, blame Newt.

Yeah, when his pads
squeak, they sound just like...

[Pads farting air]

All: [Laughing]

Newt: Who did that?

[Thunder rumbling]

Pepper: Oh...

- Oh, Bella!
- We are so late.

We're the only people left in the school.

And my party started 45 minutes ago.

If we leave now, we'll
be fashionably late...

as opposed to obnoxiously late.

[Emergency sirens wailing]

Oh, man, is that what I think it is?

Yep, it's a tornado warning.

Tornado? You mean a twister? A cyclone?

Nature's one-way toilet bowl
that flushes you to your doom?

Relax, Newt. It's probably just a test.

- [Cell phone ringing]
- [Thunder crashing]

Ace: This is not a test!

Silverado is on Tornado Alert!

- You know what this means.
- [Thunder crashing]

Total boredom.

Sorry, folks, you're stuck
inside, waiting for a twister

that will probably never materialize.

Looks like I'll be spending
the next three hours

playing charades with my cameraman Chauncy.

Talk about your "natural disasters."

Pepper, this is the worst timing.

I spent the entire
year planning a beautiful,

Paris-themed party and now I'm stuck here.

This is not how I
envisioned my 13th birthday.

[Thunder crashing]

You're worried about a birthday party?

We're all gonna die and
I've never been kissed.

Sophie?

Let me think about it.

No.

Well, at least now

I don't have to keep up this manly facade.

I do not like this.

Tornados are one of my biggest fears.

I blame my stepmom for showing me

that horror movie...
"The Wizard of Oz."

Way too realistic.

No need to panic. I'm
the 8th grade safety warden.

I took a one-hour training course,

and once an airline trusted me

to sit in the exit row of a plane.

I thought you said you
threw up in the exit row?

- [Whistle shrills]
- Listen up!

According to safety procedure,

the first thing we need
to do is call our parents.

Shhh, will you keep it down.
We're calling our parents.

Then you're following procedure.

I understand, Dad.

You already rented a
place and everyone's there.

Just continue the party without me.

You guys, I feel horrible.

If I hadn't been late,

Pepper would already be at her fancy party.

Maybe if we work together,
we can make it up to her.

Look at Pepper. She's following
her own party on Clikpic.

Aw, the twinkle lights.

And dad blowing out the candles for me.

As long as he didn't open my presents.

Come on, Dad!

- All right, we'll help.
- Here's our plan.

We'll throw Pepper a surprise
party in the Bulldogs' gym.

Sophie, you can make the cake.

Um, actually, that's
my area of expertise.

- Great. You can work together.
- I am not working with...

No, no, no, no... -
Way to be team players.

Sawyer, can you distract Pepper?

Pepper? I've barely
said three words to her.

That's the spirit! Okay.

I'll deal with the
decorations and with...

- Chicken Little over there.
- [Thunder crashing violently]

Okay, everyone knows
the plan. Set your alarms.

We'll meet in the gym at 6:30.

Whatever you do, don't let Pepper find out.

Find out about what?

Uh, Sawyer?

Uh, that you're the
new deputy safety warden.

You get to wear this cool vest.

I'm not wearing this.

Orange is the new blecch.

Oh, wait, the vest!
You're violating procedure!

Chauncy, let's suit up.

It's storm-chasin' time.

What? It's dangerous out there.

A-V Club is the most dangerous
club in school, kid.

We've got a job to do.

I do need those two extra credit points.

Grab your helmet.

Your bicycle just became our news van.

Well, it looks like we checked
everything off the safety list.

Wow, I thought that
would take a lot longer.

Really? Because it felt like forever.

- Are we done yet?
- Not yet.

Fortunately, we still have to check

the structural integrity of the...

integral structures...
which are this way.

I mean, this way.

[Laughing] Oooh, in
the boys' locker room?

Now it gets interesting.

Yeah, in there.

♪

All right. Here's the plan.

We're making my Abuela's
Tres Leches con Caramelo cake

It's perfect every time...

starting with exactly one teaspoon of salt.

Okay, uh, better plan.

We make my Chocolate Surprise Supreme Cake.

The surprise is it never
comes out the same...

'cause I make it up as I go along.

[Clearing throat]

Oh!

Sounds like a recipe.

For disaster.

Look, Pepper's my best friend,
so I'm gonna make her cake.

If you wanna help, you can be my assistant.

[Laughing] Assistant?

The Troy doesn't assist, okay, he creates.

With my dad gone and my
mom working all the time,

I taught myself to cook using
whatever's in the fridge.

Well, in my house, we
follow Abuela's recipes.

Once, I didn't, and Abuela cursed me.

For the next three days, I had nightmares

the Chupacabra was chasing me. [Shuddering]

Chupacabra?

Hey, that's my favorite
combo meal at Taco-2-Go.

- No, it's a spiny, goat
- Sucking monster!

Oh.

Yeah, that makes more sense.

Can you just pass me an
egg so we can get started?

You know what? I'll do you one better.

[Clearing throat] Check it.

That is what I call "The Troy Technique."

Crack the eggs however you want.

Just make sure you follow the recipe.

If you don't, I'll curse you

and you'll have nightmares
about the Chupacabra, too.

[Shuddering]

This is... this is...

not as interesting as
I thought it would be.

What? Oh. It's real interesting.

Look at all the cool stuff we got in here.

Never mind.

I'm sorry. I can't stay here.

Wait, uh, the safety kit.

That's something we should
thoroughly and slowly check.

Okay.

Big
bandages... check.

Medium
bandages... check.

Little tiny circle
bandages... check.

Bored... check.
Over this... check.

Leaving... oh,
check.

Wait!

O-o-o-o-ouch!

What happened?

I shut the lid on my hand.

You'd better wrap it.

Injured by the safety kit.

Painful and ironic.

Actually, a little known fact...

safety kits are the number one

cause of injuries among
safety professionals.

Number two is wrapping gauze too tightly.

You'd better start over.

I'm sure the Theater Department

won't mind us borrowing
these decorations, right?

Who cares? You would not
believe what I'm reading

on tornadoafraido.com.

You need to relax.

Everything's going to be fine.

I just wish I was at home
with my lucky rabbit's foot.

I keep it in my lucky panic room.

Well, I have something that might help.

My dad gave me this locket
and it makes me feel safe.

Just like he did.

Right now, I think you
need it more than I do.

I don't know. It's a little girly.

[Thunder crashing violently]

I'll keep an eye on it for you.

Oh, twinkle lights.

We can use these to make
it look more like Paris.

All we need to do is hang them.

[Thunder crashing violently]

Up there?

Are you crazy?

Good thing I rock
this rope in gym class.

Oh, not me. I also
have a fear of heights.

Whenever I'm supposed to climb this,

I fake a stomach ache, lick my hands,

and tell the teacher I have
a "sweaty palm condition."

It works every time.

Wanna feel?

I'll pass.

All right, let's see how this tastes.

[Gasping] What did you
do to my Abuela's cake?

Well, it needed a proper flavor.

So I improvised and added...

whatever this is.

It's not the same. You ruined it!

But just taste it again, all right?

It's delicious.

You wanna improvise?

How's this?

[Sputtering]

Hey, you almost hit the face.

Let a man get a hairnet, first.

[Gasping]

[Coughing]

I call this "The Sophie Technique."

Both: Look what you did!

What you did!

What you did!!

- [Sighing]
- [Sighing]

[Coughing]

- What are you doing?
- Texting my Abuela.

I can't remember if her curse starts with

"I invoke" or "I summon."

[Laughing]

Yeah, like I believe in
that Chupacabra nonsense.

Okay, but seriously,
don't... don't do that.

We'll do it your way.

Weather Man: A severe tornado warning

is in effect for our area.

I could watch these
colorful blobs all night.

Or at least for the next 38 minutes.

Sawyer, there's something weird.

And it's not just your accent.

First, you wanted to pair up with me.

Then you wanted to take those

long, slow walks in the hallways,

and now you just wanna sit here together

watching boring weather radar?

It's almost as if...

[Gasping]

I think I know what's going on here.

You do?

But I was so careful
not to let you find out.

You have a crush on
me. - I was only trying...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you say "crush"?

That's crazy. I do not have a crush on you.

Really?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

Wow, that's embarrassing.

Could this birthday get any worse?

I've gotta find Bella.

Wait, Pepper.

Please, Sawyer, I feel
dumb enough as it is.

- Don't go.
- Why not?

Because...

I do have a... crush on you.

Happy Birthday?

[Thunder crashing violently]

Storm Chaser Ace
McFumbles here on the scene!

We pedalled out here to
the heart of the action!

[Thunder crashing violently]

Whoa! Wow! This storm's getting closer

than my sister and her pet ferret.

They groom each other. It's creepy.

Ace! Can we go home where it's safe?!

No, it's perfectly safe out here!

See? Look! There's a bird flying.

That's not a bird!

It's a cat!

A cat!!

[Thunder crashing violently]

Okay, that did not sound good.

[Thunder crashing violently]

Newt: Bella, are you okay?

I know these tornado warnings
never turn into anything.

[Thunder crashing violently]

But this sounds like something.

Just come down.

I... I can't.

My hair is caught. I'm stuck.

[Thunder crashing violently]

You... you have to get me down!

I'm coming, Bella.

Just as soon as I get over
my crippling fear of heights.

[Thunder crashing violently]

I'm probably not coming, Bella.

♪

It's no use calling for help, Bella.

Cell service is down.

Please, just climb up and help me.

Oh, stomach ache. [Licking palms]

Sweaty palms?

- Newt, stop faking.
- [Emergency siren wailing]

Okay, I can do this. I can do this.

- I can't believe it.
- Why not?

Lights go out in storms all the time.

No, that you have a crush on me.

You're still thinkin' about that, huh?

I mean, it's just so unexpected.

Yeah, I know.

I did not think I was gonna say that.

Not at all.

Can you hand me that flashlight?

[Thunder crashing violently]

Oh, it sounds like it's
getting worse out there.

We should stay here. It's nice and safe.

Look, Sawyer, I'm super flattered.

And I know this whole storm
feels like a romantic moment.

And I don't want to hurt your feelings.

But the truth is, I'm just
not into guys like you.

What do you mean guys like me?

No offense, but we have
like nothing in common.

You're a country boy and I'm a city girl.

At least, I will be one day.

I wanna see the world when I grow up.

Well, I do, too.

I'm gonna backpack through
Argentina and then Brazil.

Really?

I always thought you were
one of those farm boys

who never wanted to set
foot outside of Texas.

Well, I caught the
travel bug last summer

when my family took a trip to Paris.

You've actually been to Paris?

Yeah, we went to buy
some French dairy cows.

That's where we got Bonaparte and Cam-moo.

Their milk has a certain je ne sais quoi.

I've always wanted to
see the City of Lights.

Ah, la ville lumière.

I wondered why they call it that.

Then I walked along the Seine at night.

There were hundreds of street
lamps all in gold by the water.

I've never seen anything like it.

Sawyer Huggins, you
are full of surprises.

Yeah, so is Coach's desk.

I just found a buffalo wing down here.

- [Thunder crashing]
- Well, the power's out.

And so is the oven.

We can't serve cake soup.

Relax, okay. We can
still make Pepper a cake.

My way.

Oh, like a contestant
in America's Worst Chef?

Have a little faith.

[Sighing] All right, we've got, um...

Some strawberry jelly.

Cookies and...

a hundred little ice cream cups.

I'm thinking Ice Cream
Surprise Supreme Cake.

That's actually a pretty good idea.

Yeah and for the frosting, we can use...

Cream cheese!

Now you're improvising.

I've gotta admit this is kinda genius.

Ha, you know it and you
are free to repeat it, okay?

I'm already sorry I said it, okay?

- [Wind howling]
- [Sobbing]

- [Moustache rips off]
- Ah!

Ah!

Ahhhhh!

You're doing great, Newt.
Just a little ways more.

I can't believe I'm actually doing this.

I'll be there soon, Bella.

- [Power box clicking]
- [Electrical zapping]

Newt: [Shrieking]

It's just the lights.
Now you can see again.

That's the problem.

I can see my final resting place.

- [Thunder crashing violently]
- Bella: [Screaming]

Hang on, Bella. I'm comin' for ya.

Newt. You did it!

I... I did it.

Wow.

I did it.

I'm way up here and I'm not even scared.

I conquered my fear.

This is incredible. This feels amazing.

This feels like...

Something we can talk about
when we're back on the ground?

Right. Sorry, Bella.

No way. You like fishin'?

Yeah. You know what my favorite part is?

Fryin' and eatin' 'em?

I was going to say letting them go

so they can swim back to their families.

Oh, that's fun, too.

Hey, have you ever
been fishin' at night?

It's amazing. You can see all the stars.

Oh, I love stargazing.

You should come out to my farm sometime.

At night, you can see the whole Milky Way.

And two snooty French cows.

Man, they have an attitude.

Wow, look, I just realized
the lights are back on.

Huh, I didn't even notice.

Looks like the worst
part of the storm's over.

- Well, that was surprisingly...
- Fun, right?

Talking with you turned out to be

the best part of my worst birthday.

Oh, I'll take that as a compliment.

Sawyer, that thing I said earlier

about you not being my type...

Oh, hang on one sec.

Uh, we should get back to the others.

I'm sorry, what were you saying?

Never mind. We should go.

Ace McFumbles here.

It seems like the storm has
finally started to calm down.

And we have made it through unscathed.

Unscathed?

Look at me. I am 100 percent scathed.

And where's my bike?

- It's right... here. Heh
- Heh.

There's a little bit
more over there. Heh-heh.

And, uh, the rest of it's up in that tree.

- Where is everybody?
- All: Surprise!

Wow! Look at all of this.

When did you...? How did you...?

The lights are amazing.

Yeah, hanging them
during the tornado warning

wasn't the smartest thing to do.

- I kinda got stuck up there.
- Oh, my gosh, Bella.

Lucky for me,

I had the bravest storm
buddy a girl could ask for.

Oh, it was nothing.

I just free-climbed a rope
and, you know, saved her.

Well done, safety warden.

You totally had me going.

I actually believed you had a crush on me.

But you were just trying to
distract me the whole time.

Yeah, that's right, just
foolin' the whole time...

for the surprise and all.

Happy Birthday! [Laughing]

All: [Laughing, cheering, applauding]

Okay, guys, get ready
for culinary greatness.

This is just a little something

that Sophie and I whipped up together.

- We improvised.
- Mm-hm.

What's in this?

The frosting tastes like chives. Ooh.

And garlic.

Wow, I've gotta get this recipe.

Did you not look at the
label on the cream cheese?

What? It was hard to see, Sophie.

The lights were out.

You ruined another cake!

En el nombre de mi abuela

¡Le imploroal Chupacabra
que te moleste en tus sueños!

You put a curse on me, didn't you?

Hey, the tornado warning's been lifted.

All: [Cheering, applauding, laughing]

Pepper, I'm sorry you got trapped here.

I know the Bulldogs' gym doesn't compare

to the big, fancy party you had planned.

It turns out the only thing I needed

for a great birthday is you guys.

Aw...

- And maybe those guys, too.
- All: [Laughing]

Well, uh, since we're all friends,

do you wanna take that curse off me?

[Laughing] Let me think about it.

No.

All: [Chattering]

from concerned Silverado citizens...

and the national weather service,

and the Sheriff's Department.

Apparently, children should not
go out during a tornado warning.

I don't know how you're supposed to get

all that from a siren,
but... - Sweetie...

stick to the apology script.

Sorry, Mom.

Don't storm chase at home, kids.

It's not worth it.

Seriously, I'm grounded until I graduate.

Which is good because...

It's gonna take me a long time
to put this bike back together.
