[Aliya]
Ley-La, Rise of a Music Star!

-[upbeat music]
-[sewing machine whirring]

[phone ringing] [beeps]

Hello?

Uh, yes, yes. This is he.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Yes, of course,

we have a new song. [chuckles]

A new costume? Yeah.
[nervous chuckle]

A dance routine?
Of course, that's ready too.

You can count on us! Hehe!

[singing] Bye! [chuckles]

-[tense music]
-[gasps]

[comical music]

[sighs]

-[tense music]
-Oh, no! What did I do?

[screaming and sobbing]

[clattering within]

-[cat yowls]
-[crash]

-[Olly screaming]
-[Paisley gasps]

-[heavy breathing]
-Is that a happy "Ah!"

or an upset "Ah"?

Both! You got
into the Heartlake Street Party!

[titters]
The big festival!

Huh? [chuckles and sighs]

Oh, well, not you Paisley. Hehe...

You Ley-La! Obvi.

-Oh...
-[forlorn music]

The festival manager
wants you to have a new song

and a fab new costume!

I said we're ready to go!

But we aren't.

-But we will be!
-[uplifting music]

[Olly whimpers]
Are you sure I'm good enough

to make your costumes?

Maybe you need
a real costume designer.

-[sad music]
-[Paisley sighs]

-Maybe this is too much for us both.
-[sighs]

-No way!
-[triumphant music]

It's my big chance!

Our big chance!

We can do this.

[chuckles] I've got big ideas!

-[music turns forlorn]
-Oh...

-[upbeat music]
-[Liann] Oh, wow!

-Oh!
-I love Ley-La!

I love her music,
her vibe, her look. All of it!

I wish we knew more about her.

No last name, covers her face,

she's so mysterious!

I know! We need to find out everything.

After all, we are her...

[both] Biggest fans!

I bet Olly knows stuff.

He's the one
who got her to perform

at the community center

and at Farm Fest.

[gasps]
You are so right!

[uplifting music]

-Oh, let's...
-No!

We need a plan.

Olly hasn't said anything,

so he's clearly covering for her.

We've got to be smart about this.

Ooh, I like the way you think.

[intriguing music]

Oh, hey, Paisley! Sorry to run.

Oh, no worries.

-See you later.
-Bye!

[titters]
I'm so excited

that you're playing
at the Street Party Festival!

-It's a dream come true!
-Shh!

[whispering]
It's a secret, remember?

-Of course, I remember.
-[crunch]

So, the new song has to be big.

Big and poppy!

None of the folksy stuff
you usually write.

-Folksy?
-Oh! And make sure

you write the song quickly
'cause you also have

to nail that dance routine.

-[tense music]
-[gasps] What now?

You never said anything
about a dance routine.

Um... I didn't?

No, I would definitely remember.

[Olly] Well...
[crunch]

It's no big deal, right?

[sighs]
Oh, I'm not a dancer, Olly.

You might not be,

but I bet Ley-La is.

Hehe!

Oh...

Oh, B-T-dubs, there's buzz

about Ley-La's costumes
on social media.

So exciting! But also disappointing.

Why?

Well, no one knows
I made Ley-La's costumes.

I could be a famous designer by now!

But I'm not.

[sighs]

[Paisley] You should take credit.

Everyone here
knows you discovered Ley-La.

Just say you dressed her then,

and now she wants more.

[sighs] Really?

Oh, thank you, Paisley!
[chuckles]

I'm gonna go post that right now!

Haha!

-[tense music]
-[grumbles]

Pop music? A dance routine?

Hey! Zac!

-I need your help.
-Sure, what's up?

Um, it's kind of, well...

I can't really, you know, talk here.

Oh, I got you.

Let's meet after school.

Text me a spot.

OK.

[chuckles]
I see Olly didn't get

your this-is-how-not-
to-be-selfish training.

[sighs]
You have no idea.

[upbeat music]

-[door opens]
-Oh!

-Thanks for meeting me.
-No problem. What's up?

I need to have a dance routine

for the Street Festival.

Oh, OK.
I can help you with that.

-[lively music]
-Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hehe, so...
How good are you?

Oh, you want me to show you my moves?

Uh, OK.

[electronic funk music]

[chanting to music]

Oh!

[whimpering]

[whimpering]

-[music fades]
-[sighs]

We'll start from the beginning.

[pop music]

OK, follow me.

OK, let's try it again.

[grunts]

[sighs]
Ah!

Ow! That was my toe.

Oh! Sorry!

No worries, hehe...

I got nine more.

I know
we already discussed this, Pais,

but you need to talk to Olly.

[sighs] But he's never been this excited.

His costumes are blowing up.

It's his dream come true.

If I say something,
it'll break his heart.

I get where you're coming from, but...

if you don't tell Olly the truth now,

it could end up
ruining your friendship.

Oh...

[sewing machine whirring]

[shrieks]

-What happened to you?
-[sighs]

I've been practicing the dance.

Oh, then I take it back.

You are glowing!
[titters]

Guess what? Since I took credit
for being your costume designer,

the compliments have been pouring in.

-Aw, you deserve it.
-Mm-hmm.

They love my flair, my ingenuity,

they can't wait to see what I do next.

[titters]
That one stresses me out.

[sighs]
This all stresses me out.

I need to make the most epic costume
for the Festival.

I'm gonna need leather!

Lace! And bling!

So much bling!

Sounds blingy!

Super blingy! My fav.

Why don't you come
to the thrift store with me.

We'll see what we can find.

Oh, someone
could see us together and...

get suspicious.

Everyone knows we've been best friends
since we were in diapers.

Yes, but...

If anyone finds out,
I won't be able to...

just disappear when I need to.

Just disappear?

Why would you ever
not want to be Ley-La?

Well...

-Um, I...
-[phone beeps]

[gasps]
No way!

Lady Drama,
a major fashion influencer,

just commented that I...

could be the next big thing!
[squeals]

-[sighs]
-[titters]

Wait, was there something
you wanted to chat about too?

No,

just wanted you to know

that you're right.

Ley-La can dance.
[forced laughter]

Whoo! I knew it!

Thank you, Paisley!

[moans]
We are gonna be huge!

Haha!

[intriguing music]

OK, here's what we know.

[Liann] Pretty much nothing.

The key to getting clues
is getting Olly to talk.

We've got to make him think
he's being interviewed

-for a big news show.
-[Liann giggles]

Hmm, and offer him a mustache?

No, that's for you.

Aw, thanks! Uh, why?

You're going to be the big-time
news reporter, of course!

[squeals]
Fun! What are you gonna be?

I'm gonna work at the churro stand.

Ooh, in case Olly gets hungry!

Yes, and also 'cause I promised Jordan
I'd help her out.

In here,
you'll find everything you need.

Questions to ask Olly,

an earpiece so we can talk,

-beef jerky...
-[curious music]

In case you get hungry.

[comical music]

Uh, I think your stache
is on upside down.

Whoops!

[upbeat music]

-Bravo!
-[tense music]

Ah! Oh, no! Hide!

I've got everything for the costume!

Now I just need a couple
of measurements and...

Why are you being weird?

Huh? Me? Weird? [nervous laughter]
I'm not weird.

Hmm...

I've been working on my routine.

Wanted to surprise you, that's all!

Ooh! Can I see?

No!

I don't want you to see
until it's perfect.

OK, fine.

I can wait.

Now, let's get some measurements.

Arms up.

[tense music]

[sneezes]

-[Olly gasps]
-[Paisley sneezes]

[sneezes]

Oh, my allergies are a mess right now.

I need to find a tissue, let's go.

Ah! Please tell me
that's not the hand you just sneezed on!

[sighs]

[tense music]

What you got?

Hmm, I see some security.

Ooh! A cute boy with a guitar and...

Oh! Hey, Aliya!

Be cool, you're a reporter, remember?

Yeah, copy that.

I do not see you!

Oh!

[Aliya] Ooh! Twelve o'clock!

Really? I thought it was later than that.

[Aliya] No! Twelve o'clock
as in straight ahead.

Olly! Go!

[gasps]

[up-tempo spy music]

Olly!
[clears throat]

[deep voice] Are you
"runway underscore Olly"?

[gasps] Yes!

Leonardo Churrisimo,

big-time reporter, Action News 5.

You're the famous designer
working on costumes

for Ley-La, right?

[chuckles]
Well...

I wouldn't say famous.

Haha! I would.

You're getting a lot
of attention on social media.

Some are calling you the next big thing.

Well, I... [tittering]

I saw that too! [titters]

So, uh, considering
how private Ley-La is,

you haven't actually met her, right?

Well, of course I have!

[Liann voice] Oh!

Hmm...

[clears throat]
Uh, I mean...

[deep voice]
Oh?

-Yes, I see her all the time!
-[gasps]

[whispered]
I've known her my whole life.

[Liann voice]
Your whole life?

[squeals]
I mean...

[clearing throat]

[deep voice]
Your whole life? Haha!

How interesting! Hm!

Um, actually, we just met. Like twice.

It just feels like I've known her
my whole life

'cause we like
all the same things, you know?

Mm-hmm, do you know
where she is now?

Oh, probably practicing her dance.

[Liann voice] Dance?
Is Ley-La dancing tonight?

[giggling]

[clearing throat]

[coughing] Hm!

[winded]
Excellent news for the fans.

[coughs]

Oh...

What about Ley-La can you share

with our very large,
very important audience?

Well, she's very shy.

Probably because she suffered
a big loss.

-Oh...
-[sighs]

She loves pizza,

oh, and she has
the most amazing blue eyes

like a perfect blue lagoon.

But enough about Ley-La!

Do you want to hear more
about how I find inspiration

for my costumes?

Uh, not really.

[gasps]
Well, I must go then.

Hehe! She's dancing!

Shy, suffered a loss,

and has eyes like a blue lagoon.

[upbeat music]

[gasps]
Wow! That was amazing!

[giggling]

[sighs]

You OK?

-It's the same old thing.
-[forlorn music]

I know I can do it,

I just don't know if I want to do it.

You don't have to.

I can't let Olly down.

I can't let the fans down.

You need to stop thinking
about what everyone else wants

and start thinking about what you want.

[Olly] Hey, Paisley! It's me, Olly!

-[suspenseful music]
-Huh? Ah!

Your dad let me in.
Uh...

[comical music]

Zac! What are you doing here?

[nervous laugh]
Uh...

I've been helping Pais... uh, Ley-La
with the dance routine.

[sighs]

You know that Paisley is Ley-La?!

[groans]
What happened to "it's a secret"?

Oh, I can't do this alone, Olly!

You're not alone, we're in this together.

[phone beeps]

I'll see you onstage.

And, Zac, not a word about this to anyone!

[sad music]

[sighs]

[Zac] I'm sorry.

But, look, you're gonna do great.

You've got this, promise.

[uplifting music]

I've got to run and meet Aliya.

You'll be OK, right?

[giggles]

Always am.

[intriguing music]

-Ah!
-[crash]

Oh! [chuckles]

Who knew being a reporter
was such hard work?

Hmm...

Oh, there you are.
Jordan said you're on break,

but I didn't think that meant
hanging behind the...

Whoa! What's this?

Liann and I are still trying
to figure out who Ley-La is.

Look at how many clues we have.

Impressive, huh?

I guess.

But she's really private.

We should probably respect that,
don't you think?

Um, as her number-one fans,

Liann and I disagree.

[curious music]

Hey, let's stop talking about Ley-La
and go see her perform.

Now that's a good idea.

-[clatter]
-[Zac] Oh, no!

I'm so sorry, Aliya! I tripped!

-Hmm...
-[comical music]

-That's OK!
-It is?

Yup, Liann has it all down
in her sketchpad.

These were my notes.

Oh...
[sighs]

-[momentous music]
-[crowd applause and cheering]

This is it!
[squeals]

You look amazing!

I hope everyone agrees!

They will.

-[touching music]
-Thanks.

Now, go show 'em your magic.

[Olly moans]

[crowd] Ley-La! Ley-La!

[boy] It's starting!
