[upbeat music plays]

Welcome Karma and Violet.

Both of you are writing
your first articles for The Scene.

Exciting.

Get them right and I might just make you
regular contributors.

Karma, I want you to interview Jett Dawson

about her textile internship.

Yes! I just know
Jett and I are gonna vibe.

And I will get all the deets

about whether she's really dating
that British pop star.

Mm-hmm. And Violet, you are going to cover

the history of the Rainbow High crest.

Cool. And the crest is…

what?

Where did the crest come from?

What does it stand for?

So more like history?

Yay…

I know you can make it exciting.

[school bell ringing]

[upbeat music plays]

Oh, Miss Wright,
is that a school crest pin?

Where did you get it?

The crest pin is earned,

not simply gotten.

Okay.

But I'm trying to write an article
for The Scene about it.

So is there anything else you can tell me?

It's best if you seek the answers
for yourself.

Might I recommend a visit
to the Rainbow High archive.

We have an archive?

That sounds old.

And I need old.

Where is it?

It is said that it hides in plain sight.

But only those who seek it
will ever see the light.

Do you have any details that are more…
detailly? Or like a map?

[chuckles] Every Rainbow High student has
the map that tells you where to start.

But being ready for the journey
is the most important part.

And then she just left the room.

So weird, so cryptic.

I have no idea what I'm supposed
to write about this thing,

or where to find this "map"

that every Rainbow High student has.

Wait a sec, if I'm remembering right,

the student rulebook has a map

right…

Here. No archive…

There's nothing marked archive.

Miss Wright said it would say
where to start.

So maybe by the unicorn
where it says "start here."

[Sunny] Woo, there's also a drawing
of a rainbow. Cute!

Can I come with you? Please?

We'll be like an adventure movie.

Of course.

Two friends
on the best friend best quest ever!

Hmm. No buttons or carvings

or secret hatches.

Sunny! What are you doing?

There's always more than meets the eye.

Oh, I have always wanted
to hang from there like that.

Daphne, hey!

You know a lot about gems and stuff,
right?

I mean, I do host a podcast

about semi precious stones
called Let's Rock.

What do you know about the unicorn statue?

Not much to know.

But look what happens
when light hits the angles just right.

[Daphne] A rainbow effect!

It's so magical!

Just like the drawing on the map!

You are a lifesaver!

I love that you're so into it.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Or if you ever want to chat
about how underrated turquoise is.

[up-tempo music plays]

These don't lead anywhere.

We just need more light. Like…

[gasps]

[Sunny] The sun!

The sun shines through the skylight
when it's high in the sky.

Like high noon!

Good call and good timing.

That's like right…

Now!

[uplifting music plays]

This is a…

a totally normal room.

There's a crest on this door.

Maybe it leads somewhere?

Maybe a secret room or a secret passage

or a secret… hair dryer.

[blowing]

It's like when we were little

and I would send you secret messages
drawn in invisible ink!

Heat reactive invisible ink!

-[blowing]
-Yes!

All that was on the paper this whole time.

It looks like there's a secret room!

[squeals] I've always dreamed
of finding a secret room.

Literally!
I have a recurring dream about it.

[upbeat energetic music plays]

Weird. No secret room,
just a bunch of lockers.

The secret room must be behind one.

Look at the map.

All that's left is a riddle.

"What colors are every color?"

White is all the colors.

Hit the white locker.

[screams]

Colors instead of numbers.

Wait, the riddle!

Every color starts with the primaries.

-Red, blue, yellow!
-[beeps]

[ominous music plays]

You can go first.

Maybe we go together?

[Violet] Crest!

It's a baby crest!

It's a pin.

Just like Miss Wright was wearing.

That's right.

[gasps]

Congratulations, girls.

You're the first of your class

to find your way
to the Rainbow High archive.

It opens.

GLAM is inside the Rainbow High crest?

What does that even mean?

We're at the archives, aren't we?

Let's find out.

Historically, the outside of the crest

represents the craft
of every Rainbow High student.

But at Rainbow High,
there's always more than meets the eye.

Everyone here makes beautiful and unique
art that is seen on the outside.

But to be chosen
to represent the Rainbow High crest,

you must also embody GLAM virtues
on the inside.

There is a prize at the end
of the Rainbow High archives.

But where are the archives?

What is the prize?

Here's your start.

Find the map that every student has.

[clapping]

Great work on your crest article, Violet.

We all have the student rulebook

but most of us didn't give it
a second look.

Thanks. I couldn't have done it
without my friends.

Teamwork is really important
to being a journalist.

So, what do you say?

Want to write for The Scene?

Well, it might interfere with my schedule
for The Vi Life

but yes!

[school bell rings]

[uplifting music plays]

Hey, are we on for lunch?

I packed extra croissants.

[girl clears throat]

Cue follow spot and wind.

[energetic music plays]

Attention, Rainbow High!

[Laurel] Holly and I have an announcement.

Hold your applause for the end.

Laurel and I are hosting auditions
for a new play.

-Written by us.
-Directed by us.

And starring us.

We are true triple threats.

You do not have to be an acting focus
to audition.

And our colleagues will need to know
how to ice skate.

We will have real fake ice on stage.

A Rainbow High first.

And for all of you poor souls
who lack acting bones,

there are other lesser ways
to get involved in this piece of history.

Sets and makeup, sound design…

But heads up, some stuff
we've already promised to friends.

For example,

I will be leading the lighting crew.

We said we would consider it!

So sign up to audition
or do behind the scenes stuff.

But don't try to do both.

And you better make sure you are serious

because if you bail, we will cancel you.

[energetic music plays]

Well, count me in for stage makeup.

For sure.

And Amy, we should team up for sets.

I've always wanted to work
with real fake ice!

Wait, isn't it fake real ice?

Is that even a real thing?

Sounds like a real fake thing.

So as an acting focus,

you audition for every show, right?

Yep. And this show should be fun.

The twins have been talking about it
for months.

I'm sure you'll get a part.

And I'm gonna sign up to do costumes.

Do it. If I get cast,

it'll be so rad
to work on the same project.

Plus, it means we get to hang out more.

-[uplifting music plays]
-[school bell rings]

[chuckles] I'm impressed
you all signed up for the twins' play.

Call me if you need moral support.

[ding]

Yes! I'm in for stage makeup.

And I'm in…

to audition at four p.m.?

You have to audition
for the costume department?

Which list did you sign-up on?

There was more than one list?

Yeah, the behind the scenes list

and the audition list.

Oh no. No, no, no!

It's probably not a big deal.

Yeah, just go explain your mistake
to Holly and Laurel.

I'm sure they'll move you over
to costumes.

Totally, no problem.

I'll talk to them. [chuckles forcefully]

But like, how intense are they?

Alright, thespians, focus up.

The script is the script.

Read every line as is.

There is a reason our names are on it
as writers

and not yours.

[lighthearted music plays]

Wow! Why did I make that deal

with those super beautiful
but mischievous enchantresses?

[chuckles]

I wish I could ice skate.

[lighthearted music plays]

Oh, wait, is it my line?

You're the only one on stage.

No! Why did I make that deal

with those super beautiful
but mischievous enchantresses?

[gasps]

I always had a crush on you.

-Swoon.
-[chuckles softly]

♪ It smells like hot cocoa ♪

♪ Fancy hot cocoa ♪

I need pain!

Darkness!

Dig deep.

[shouting] No!

Why did I make that deal?

Stella, just talk like you normally do.

The accent is fine.

Oh, thank you.

[clears throat]

[in exaggerated voice]
I wish I could ice skate!

Wait, how do I normally sound?

Why? Why?

Why!

Wait, this whole show
is basically one big ad.

And it's not even a musical.

I am so out of here.

Okay.

It smells like hot cocoa,

fancy hot cocoa.

She takes a deep breath in

and reaches for a cup.

This time, say the line to me.

I always had a crush on you.

-[giggles softly]
-Now again, but to me.

I always had a crush on you.

[both chuckling softly]

Do you have any direction?

Or do you want me to do it again?

No, that was… [sniffs]

Perfection!

[sobbing softly]

Uh, Holly and Laurel?

"I'm late," we know.

It's 4:01!

Hey, I know you.

You're dating River, right?

Yeah, I'm Amaya.

And I'm actually a fashion student

and I didn't mean to sign up to audition.
I…

-Oh.
-I see.

[both] We totally understand.

I put my name on that list
because I thought…

River was gonna get cast
opposite some other girl and…

End up falling in love with her.

So even though you're not
a performing arts focus, you…

Were going to audition anyway.

Oh, no. I…

Look, you don't have to be scared
to audition.

Laurel and I are amazing directors.

If there's raw talent, we can make
an actor out of anyone.

-Even you.
-The jealous girlfriend.

I am not jealous!

Georgia gave a really good audition,
didn't she, Holly?

She sure did.

That's great. Georgia should get the role.

She's a really great actress.

Plus she and River work well together.

Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this

but I almost believed you. [scoffs]

We'll let you know.

[both] We are amazing.

[upbeat music plays]

I'm ice skater one!

I'm ice skater two!

-Yay!
-I can't really ice skate.

I'm not even gonna look.

Can you just let me know
if they put me on costumes or not?

Hey, I got the lead.

And Amaya, you got a role.

What? Pointer person?

How is that even possible?

Why don't you work on that pointing?

Winter break
at the Sparkle Sisters' Ski Lodge

is gonna be epic. Breathe it in.

Smells like hot cocoa,

fancy hot cocoa.

[both chuckle]

Want to go outside and ice skate?

I do, especially with you.

But I don't know how.

If only I could stop time
to practice ice skating

until I became the best ice skater
in the entire world.

Oh well.

Oh well.

[clears throat] Oh well!

-Um, line?
-[Laurel] Cut!

How is it possible that after weeks

of rehearsal with the play days away,

you're still forgetting your one line?

Hey everyone, the real fake ice is here.

Can someone help Emi and me bring it in?

There's a lot of pieces.

You really think you're gonna get the

writer, director, producer,
stars of the show

to drop what they're doing and help you

with your job?

Attention, everyone.

Who are you?

I'm Gabriella,
I work with Jett on costumes,

don't worry, I'm important.

No you're not.

We need Poppy and Sunny for fittings.

-Ooh, I can't wait!
-Costumes!

Alright, amateurs,

take five and get your acts together.

It's like I look at the page
and know the line

but I go to say it and whoosh,
it's erased from my brain.

Classic overthinking. Here, I'll help.

I'll say your line, then you say your line
until you've got it.

Then I'll say Georgia's line.

But you keep saying your line, okay?

Okay.

-Psst, this way?
-Psst, this way?

Psst, this way!

Psst, this way!

If only I could stop time
to practice ice skating

until I became the best ice skater
in the entire world.

Oh well.

If only something, something, oh well?

No. Psst, this way!

[groans]

Jade, how did you just say Georgia's line
word for word like that?

I don't know, I'm at every rehearsal.

I kinda just know all the lines now.

That's incredible.

You're like a dialogue sponge.

Thanks. [chuckles]

Let's get back to running my line.

[upbeat music plays]

Jett, these costumes are gorgeous!

Thanks. I'm obsessed with using heat tech
on couture fashion.

[all] So cool!

Poppy, Sunny, your ice skates.

[uplifting music plays]

What do you think?

-I love it, I love it!
-[exclaiming] We love that!

[Poppy] So good!

I know I always say this

but these are my sickest looks ever.

[clears throat] Fellow thespians,
we are about to embark

on the greatest, most noble

and worthy cause known to humankind.

Acting.

So don't mess up.

We have a big problem.

[whispering] I have laryngitis.

-What?
-Project your voice, Georgia.

Georgia has laryngitis!

[all gasp]

-How?
-Who did this to you?

You! You did this!

You sabotaged her so she can't kiss River!

Me? No way! I would never do that!

I would be impressed
if I wasn't so peeved.

Our play is ruined!

Assistant, bring me a pillow
so I can scream into it!

Oh! I know someone who can play the role!

If this person is you, Amaya,

I will need two pillows.

One to scream into

and one to whack you with!

Not me. Someone who knows every line.

Really? And can this person ice skate?

Oh. Um…

This play is called "A Winter Tale

of Two Super Beautiful Enchantresses"?

[scoffs] That's rich.

Written, directed and starring
Laurel and Holly

De'Vious…

or is it pronounced Dye-Vious?

It's Devious, duh.

Does anyone mind if I film this?

[all] Yes!

[grunts]

[grunting]

Winter break at
the Sparkle Sisters' Ski Lodge

is gonna be epic. Breathe it in.

[gasps]

Smells like hot cocoa.

Fancy hot cocoa.

If only I could stop time
to practice ice skating

until I became the best ice skater
in the entire world.

Oh well.

Psst, this way!

Take these ice skates.

Put them on.

And your wish will come true.

Wow, when the commercial said

the Sparkle Sisters' Ski Lodge
was magical,

they were for real.

Once she puts on those ice skates,

-time will stop for her forever.
-[thunder crashes]

The only way to break the spell
and make time start again

is with a crush's kiss.

-[snorting, snickering]
-[shushing]

Is it really you? I can't believe it.

Hi. Come skate. I just got on the ice.

[enchanting music plays]

You've been missing for five whole years.

What?

How is this possible?

[gasps] My ice skates!
I think they stopped time!

I should never have taken them

from those two super beautiful,
mischievous enchantresses.

Maybe I can help break the spell?

I always had a crush on you.

Really? I… have a crush on you too.

[uplifting music plays]

[both] The curse is broken!

[both] Hot cocoa for all!

[applause, cheering]

[upbeat music plays]

[indistinct congratulatory chatter]

Wasn't Amaya great?

-Yes, Amaya…
-You were so good!

Jade, you were the star of the show.

And you ice skate? Hashtag twist.

Oh, I never told you I was
a competitive figure skater as a kid?

What? Jade, seriously? So cool.

Nah, that's no big deal.

But Laurel and Holly's makeup?
Now that was epic.

[all chuckling]
