03x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

[bright uplifting music]

I can’t believe we’re going
to visit Pacific Coast High!

Pacific Coast is my favorite reality show.

We’re going to meet Phaedra Westward!

And Harper Dune!

Can we please watch their new episode
before you all leave?

OK fine, but I can only watch just one.

[exciting music]

[Simone] My life isn’t picture perfect.

I just know what lens to use.

[Hali] I have 3 rules:

Don’t mess with my friends,
don’t mess with my fashions,

and no surfing after dark.

[Margot] Bad vibes are like fake pearls.

I’m allergic to both.

[Finn] The ocean is
the biggest inspiration for my art.

It’s deep.

Like me.

[Phaedra] All I care about is self-care
and skin care.

And drama.

[Harper] I’m the most famous person
on this show.

PACIFIC COAST

[exciting music fades out]

[soft guitar music]

Oh, my goodness, I found these
really pretty seashells

on the beach the other day and…

That is a lifeguard whistle, Simone!

It’s for guarding life!

This is just as crucial, Hali!

Everyone!

Our new head mistress is coming today

and we’re planning
an iconic welcome party for her.

What’s her sign?

Who is it?

-It’s Paris Hilton.
-[squeals]

[surprised]

That’s the biggest lie I’ve heard

since Margot said
the ocean ate her homework.

Hey, Pacific Coast High.

Your new headmistress is me, Paris Hilton!

[gasps]

We’re going to have
the best time together.

See you soon! Loves it.

[cheers]

[Finn] Has anyone seen my spray can kit?

[shouts of joy]

This party is going to be sick.

Unless someone messes it up.

I won’t say who would do that.

Ahem.

Finn.

Phaedra totally has it out
for me, and I have no idea why.

[Finn grunts, water splashing]

Thankfully, I make my own
organic waterproof makeup,

so my face always stays perfect.

Finn. You are like so annoying.

How does my makeup look?

Perfect, as always.

[exciting music turns into soft music]

So, have you asked out Finn yet?

No.

We’re just such good friends and…

I’m not sure how he feels.

[sighs]

It would be so romantic
to date your bestie.

[sighs, sudden noise]

[laughing] I had to capture the looks
on your faces.

Don’t worry. I’ll get some better shots
at the party tonight.

[dramatic sound]

Margot and Phaedra are obsessed with Finn.

But, I saw a picture I took
of him hanging in his locker.

So, I know that means he likes me.

But I don’t like him!

Well…

This is my favorite picture
of the ocean, ever.

I want to paint it.

[screams]

No!

Your eyes are always glued to the lens!

Simone, you need to watch your feet.

You left your makeup
on the ground, Phaedra.

That’s a beauty crime.

Excuse me, maybe if you had a makeup line

you were passionate about,
you would know how it feels

when someone walks all over your product!

But you don’t!

So, don’t even act like you know
what you’re talking about!

-[Simone] What do you mean?
-Did you see what happened?

[speaking softly] I’m just focusing on my
performance for Paris tonight.

I can’t get involved.

I can’t strain my voice.

She’s here!

[Harper] Paris Hilton!

[bright uplifting music]

Well hello, Pacific Coast High!

Sorry, Harper.

Now I’m the most famous
person on this show.

[soft music]

My job as headmistress is first
to inspire and challenge you,

and second to hear your drama.

So, what’s going on?

Well, we were talking about
how Simone was stomping around

and crushed my makeup palette.

This is my makeup first aid kit.

I never leave the house without it.

This is…

[everyone] So sick.

Thank you so much Ms. Hilton!

Loves it. So, let’s chat.

I did my homework, and I watched
every episode of your show.

I learned a lot, and for my first day,

I thought I’d give you each
a little "Food for thought".

First, Hali.

[Paris] You’re a sick fashion designer,
and such a loyal friend.

And as a lifeguard,
you always save the day.

But remember to take time for yourself.

Be your own hero.

Harper, you stay out of the drama
and focus on your craft.

But you should use your voice
more with your friends,

or you’re going to lose your passion.

And that’s not hot.

Simone.

You watch life from behind your camera.

Your photos are amazing,
but you need to see the world

through your own eyes more.

[Paris] So you don’t miss out.

Margot.

[mystical music]

You’re so right. Thank you.

Did they just communicate telepathically?

Phaedra, you’re amazing, obviously.

[Paris] But sometimes you need to share
the spotlight with your friends.

When you let others shine,
you’ll shine even brighter.

And finally, Finn.

The stars are blind, which is hot,

but you need to see
that while you’ve been crushing your art,

all of these girls
have been crushing on you.

What?

[general denial]

Okay, well I definitely don’t.

Alright, my worthy students,

tomorrow we learn how to become
our best living selves.

But tonight, we celebrate!

Yes!

I planned a party in your honor!

I mean, we all did.

Loves it.

Let’s get the party started!

[cheers]

[announcer] Next time on Pacific Coast.

[upbeat music]

[Finn] Cannon ball!

[upbeat music fades out]

That’s it?

What happens at the party?

Right?

They always leave us wanting more!

I don’t know how anyone likes Finn.

His art is amazing, but he is so cheesy.

I don’t know, Gaby.
Finn and I grew up together,

and I think you’d really like each other.

Ugh!

This trip is going to be so epic.

[bright uplifting music]

[Sheryl sighs]

So good to be back at Rainbow High,
Sweet Rainbow High.

Pacific Coast High was really nice,

but sand is even harder
to get rid of than glitter.

No, thank you.

Hello, amazing friends!

I missed you so much!

What did we miss?

Nothing much.
Everything’s been pretty typical.

Typical homework. Typical drama.

Typical Laurel
and Holly being total angels.

And a typical amount of The A’s
being totally flawless.

[upbeat music that stops abruptly]

Sorry! Ponytail emergency.

[upbeat music]

[bell ringing]

Can’t forget the typical amount
of running to class!

Catch you later!

[gentle music fades in]

[dramatic sound]

-[gasps]
-Sunny? You okay?

It’s like I’m being pulled
into an old timey world.

[cries] With no color in sight!

Whoa! All your art turned black and white?

[Ruby] Where’d the color go?

I love a limited color palate.

But it seems off-brand for you, Sunny.

I would never go without color.

But she would, wouldn’t she?

[mumbling] Typical…

She who?

…when it was my K-Pop posters, but my art?

-No way!
-[Emi] Sunny, are you okay?

[Sunny] We are going to have a talk.

[slams door, dramatic sound]

[bright uplifting music]

[Daphne] Hand-blown glass beads.

It took weeks to complete,

and special-order
extra-strength jewelry thread.

[everyone gasps] This is incredible.

[dramatic sound, hairdryer]

[gasps]

[everyone gasps]

[cries] How could this happen? I used…

[panthing]

"Heat Dissolving Thread"?

It was supposed
to be extra-strong jewelry thread.

Someone had to have switched it!

[everyone gasps]

Alright. I’ve been working on a track

that you could say is a lot like me.

Because it’s pop-y.

[laughs]

[upbeat music]

[music suddenly stops]

[Naomi Storm] Rainbow High,
we’re coming for you.

[cries] I can't stop it.

[suspenseful music]

That voice. It is stuck in my head.

All those beads. All on the floor.

Maybe it was just a prank?

A pretty massive prank.

Who would do that?

Maybe it was the fashion fates?

[Laurel] No way!

The Fashion Fates would never
mess with good fashion.

I’m sure.

No. These so-called pranks reek of…

Shadow High.

[everoyone gasps]

Yes! Totally Shadow High.

Shadow High? Is that really a real place?

I thought Shadow High
was just another school.

What’s the tea?

[whispering] You really think
she was involved in all this.

[Ms. Wright] Attention,
Rainbow High students.

Please report to the auditorium.

For a totally typical assembly.

That’s not me.

Really? Must we do this every year?

[gentle music fades in]

Where’s Ms. Wright?

Do you think they got her?

No. They did not ‘get’ me.

And really, Rainbow Vision is
simply a healthy music competition

between the world’s best high schools.

It is not intended to be an "us versus…

[high pitch sound]

them".

Every year, these Pre-Rainbow Vision

[mechanic sound effects] antics and pranks
between Rainbow High and Shadow High

start earlier and earlier.

[Naomi Storm]
Rainbow High better be prepared.

Shadow High is coming for you
in a major way at Rainbow Vision.

[Veronica Storm] Rainbow High has wronged
Shadow High too many times,

and this time Shadow High will finally get
their turn to step into the light.

[both] An eclipse is coming.

[tense music]

[everyone mumbling]

Shadow High, they think they’re
our biggest rivals.

But it is no contest.

Rainbow High always wins.

[screaming] Shadow High is full
of sore losers.

Shadow High is nothing to worry about.

We always end up winning.

Yeah. I think it’s great
to have little healthy competition.

Remember the time they found a way
to hoist the unicorn statue

to the roof of our school?

I thought that prank was just
a thing of Urban Legends?

Shadow High are only legends
in their own twisted minds.

[door slams, laughter]

[engine revving]

Did you see their faces?

I was almost too busy judging
their basic outfits to notice.

Basic outfits. Priceless faces.

[evil laugh]

Naomi!

What? Is there something in the road?

No, your hair…

Ugh!

Yeah. I wasn’t finished.

Geez.

[engine revving, tense music]

What’s going on, Sunny?
Why did you call all of us here?

It’s time I tell you the truth.
About Shadow High.

Ah?

I’m worried some of these pranks
might start to target all of you.

Because I know someone who goes there.

[everyone] What? Who?

My evil twin sister.

[everyone gasps]

Hey! How did it go?

We got their attention.

Rainbow High is going down.

[evil laughter]

[dramatic sound]
