01x03 - How We Rocked Homecoming

[bunniefuu]

Wherever we go,

we go together ♪

Hey, Bloomies!

We're keeping this Ask Us Anything going

with another question.

Okay, SkyBoi57 says,

"I get that Posey and Shelly Sharp

had drama in high school"

Oh, yeah.

"but how did The Two Shellys become

the rivals of the whole band?"

-[all] Homecoming.

-Yep, Homecoming, freshman year.

That's when it sunk in that Shelly Sharp

and I weren't friends anymore,

like, at all.

You gotta understand, Homecoming at

our school was a really big deal.

The king and queen,

the huge football game, the pep rally

And my favorite part--

Drumroll, please.

No one's doing it.

I'll just do it myself.

Theme days!

I love Pajama Day.

Mostly because every day

at my homeschool was Pajama Day.

Except Dress Like

a Pinata Day. That one really hurt.

You did the theme,

you did the theme! [giggles]

What? No, I just overslept.

Oh, man! I was trying so hard

not to participate.

Ladies, love your

school spirit.

And I'm looking forward

to seeing Electric Broom

-at the pep rally auditions later.

-It's "Bloom."

Your band's name

is Bloom Broom?

Makes no sense.

Anyway, as I'm sure you know,

performing the school's fight song

at the pep rally

isn't just an honor.

It's a responsibility.

Our football team hasn't lost

a homecoming game in 17 years.

Yeah!

Last time the

Fighting Honeybees lost,

it's 'cause the person

who sang the fight song

[imitates air horn]

suh-suh-suh-sucked!

Greg is loud, but correct.

The song was bad,

it k*lled morale, and the team lost.

So it can never happen again,

because I love this

[imitates air horn]

suh-suh-suh-school!

It's better when Greg does it.

Okay. Pep rally auditions

in one hour.

-We're gonna k*ll it.

-Yeah, we are.

Stop. You guys

are gonna jinx us!

Oh, girl. Don't worry.

I got us covered.

Me and the spirit guides

are manifesting a successful audition.

Love that for us,

but can we change the picture?

-I don't like the way my hair looks.

-Uh-uh-uh!

I don't want anyone's energy to change

the flow here. It's bad luck.

I guess we're just putting

unflattering pictures of our friends

in our lockers now.

So we auditioned for the pep rally

and made it to the final round.

It was between us and,

you guessed it,

The Two Shellys.

We are the spirit

of Edison County High ♪

Feared across seven seas ♪

Oh, victory

that we will bring ♪

Our foes will fall

upon our sting ♪

We're the

Fighting Honeybees ♪

Who are we?

That's none of your bzzz-ness.

I added that. You can

keep it if you want.

Principal Jeffers!

Who got it?

Who's singing

at the pep rally?

Ladies, there's

a process to uphold.

You'll have to wait

till the end of the day

to find out you got it.

[grunts] Congratulations.

We won?

-We won!

-[all] We won!

[all chanting] We won! We won!

Who won? We won!

Who won? We won!

Who won?

We won der who won.

We haven't checked yet,

do you know?

It was us.

I'll go tell Posey.

You and me,

you and I ♪

I got your back

And you got mine ♪

We're in this forever ♪

Wherever we go,

we go together ♪

It's all for one

It's you and me ♪

Wherever we go,

Hey, you still reliving how you victory

danced right in Shelly Sharp's face?

Well, if she wasn't,

she is now.

I'm freaking out.

I feel terrible about my victory dance.

I mean, not about my moves.

My moves were tight.

I was feeling myself.

But Shelly looked so sad.

Why do you even care?

She stabbed you in the back

and dropped you for a new best friend.

Yeah, but I've known Shelly half my life,

and I don't want her to be mad at me.

Yeah, I hate when people are mad at me

too, although no one ever has been.

Everyone just

kind of likes me.

Or loves.

By the way,

I'm on the pep rally decorating committee.

Posey, in fifth grade,

you said your favorite color was pink.

-Is it still?

-Huh?

-Oh, yeah, totally.

-I knew it.

I got a photogenic memory.

I gotta fix things

with Shelly.

Why? You didn't do

anything wrong.

It's okay if she's mad at you.

Listen

[Posey thinking]

If I explain to Shelly

that either of us could have won,

she won't be mad anymore.

I'm so smart.

Good chat, brain.

So you agree with me, right?

-No need to talk to Shelly?

-Right.

I'm gonna go talk to Shelly.

Hi.

[both] Hi.

Uh, so, I just wanted to say that you guys

did really great in your audition,

but in any competition,

there has to be a winner and a loser.

So you're calling us losers?

No. I'm just saying that in this case,

the judges decided that we were better.

So, we're the worst?

You're saying that

we're the worst singers alive?

No, you said that.

So now you're blaming us?

No! I just came over here to apologize for

the whole victory dance thing.

I just-- I don't know.

Are we good?

No, Posey, we're not good.

Not good.

"Not good"? She said "not good," right?

No one's there.

So that wasn't great.

And after that, the Shellys

started secretly conspiring against us.

And not the good kind

of conspiring, either.

Yeah. That was the moment

the rivalry between Electric Bloom

and The Two Shellys

officially took off.

Bro,

we've got to do something about

the pep rally. We should be performing.

What can we do? It's over.

Hey, what do I always say?

"Get out of my light"?

The other thing.

-It's not over

-Till The Two Shellys

[both] Sing! ♪

So, what do you have in mind?

Well, Posey's already

[breathes frantically]

so we just need to get

Jade and Tulip to be [screams]

Then we'll perform

at the pep rally.

You don't think

that's a little mean?

Aw, you're right.

We should spend the rest of high school

watching Electric Bloom rise

while we go back to being

Shelly and Shelly's friend.

No, no, not that.

I'm glad we agree,

because I already have a plan in motion.

Jade left her locker open

and someone took her lucky stuff.

Genius. Miss Superstitious is gonna

flip out when she notices her stuff is--

Gone?

My lucky crystals are gone.

Everything's gone!

No, no. I don't like this.

Eso es muy malo.

Ow!

Ow!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Hey! I know what this is.

The energy shifted.

[gasps] I'm cursed.

Whoa. I've actually

never been cursed.

I lead kind of a charmed life.

Also, which one of these

do you like better?

I don't know. The twirly one.

Cool. Enjoy your curse.

That's not how curses work.

One down, one to go.

Hey, Tulip!

Are you like, so excited?

Yes, I'm so excited.

I'm excited about my snack,

manatees, how flirty

the moon is right now.

I mean, excited

about the pep rally.

It's a huge deal,

right, Shell?

Oh, yeah, the hugest.

I don't know if you heard,

but like, 17 years ago,

the girl who sang the fight song

let the pressure get to her,

and she messed up.

[gasps] She did?

And then what happened, Shell?

Well, the football team

lost the big game,

the whole school blamed her,

and she never lived again.

-She died?

-Ew, no. Gross.

She just, like,

never really lived.

She never went shopping

or to concerts.

-And then she dyed.

-What?

Her hair!

So no one would recognize her.

But that's not gonna

happen to you.

I'm sure you'll do great

at the pep rally.

It's only, like,

a thousand eyes watching you.

-That's so many eyes.

-[both] So many eyes on you ♪

Good luck.

[both laugh]

They're singing and smiling,

so you want to like it,

but in actuality,

they're just being really mean.

They were in

our heads so much, I thought I was cursed.

-It gave me a nightmare.

-Me, too. But mine was about stage fright.

I also had a bad dream

that night.

Mine was just about someone being mad

at me, which is way scarier

than stage fright

or being cursed. No take-backs.

We're not good.

We're not good.

We're not good. We're not good.

[overlapping]

We're not good.

We're not good.

[voices echo, overlap]

We're not good.

We're not good.

[voices echo, stop]

-[screams]

-We're not good.

Also, I have a secret.

-[whispers] We're not good.

-[screams]

We are Electric

Uh Eyes, eyes.

Don't mess up and

make us lose the game.

That would

[imitates air horn] suh-suh-suh-suck!

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes!

[menacing voice]

Keep those hands away from me.

They're cursed!

Whatever you touch

will be doomed.

But I need my hands

to play the pep rally!

The school's counting on us.

[menacing voice]

Chomp, chomp, chomp!

[all scream]

So, yeah, those nightmares

really threw us for a loop.

But the pep rally was the next day,

so we had to pull ourselves together.

We could not

pull ourselves together.

We were kind of

out of our minds.

Okay, Shelly's mad at me.

Not a big deal.

We got this.

Tulip, what are you doing?

I'm just gonna sing from down here.

Stage fright.

Okay. No idea

how that's gonna work, but moving on.

-Jade, lead us in.

-[playing off-key]

-Uh, Jade?

-Cursed hands. Doing the best I can.

Not a problem. We're fine. Everything's

fine. Everyone, stop saying "fine."

I'll just sing.

[clears throat]

We are the spirit

of Edison County High ♪

Feared across seven seas ♪

Oh, victory

that we will bring ♪

Our foes will fall

Why is Shelly mad at me? ♪

Okay, we're all a mess.

I gotta talk

to Shelly right now to make things good.

No, listen to me.

It's okay if Shelly

doesn't like you.

[Posey thinking]

Jade's right.

I should get Shelly a gift.

A big surprise

she'll really love.

So my advice is, don't go.

Great advice.

I gotta go.

-She didn't hear a word I said.

-Not a one.

What were we doing

before this? Oh, right. Freaking out.

What are we gonna do about

the pep rally, Jade?

It's okay.

We just need some help.

A problem solver.

[gasps] I have an idea.

-The Vince.

-The what?

Trust me. Let's go.

Tulip! A little help?

Gracias.

Oh, no, I totally forgot.

Today's Neon Day!

[sighs] Aw, man,

I themed again.

People are gonna

start thinking I care.

I can fix that for you.

Buzz off, pal.

We're waiting for a guy who fixes things.

Uh, Tulip?

This is the guy who fixes things.

-Meet The Vince.

-Nice to meet you.

I've heard one sentence

about you.

-So what's your troubles?

-Long story or short?

Always short.

I'm cursed.

She's got stage fright.

Walk with me.

So, how cursed we talking?

It's like every evil spirit on earth

crawled up my nostrils,

took over my body,

and made it impossible to eat,

sleep, think, or enjoy life.

We'll go with "very cursed."

Hey, Tulip. What's your

favorite thing to doodle?

-Take as much time as you--

-Flowers and lightning bolts. End of list.

Decisive doodler. Props.

-The Vince.

-Lucas.

-Long handshake or short?

-Always short.

All right. I've got

a plan for you two.

Meet me at Tulip's music room

at 3:27.

How did you know

I have a music room?

I'm The Vince!

I live in between the world you live in,

and the world where things get done.

Also, Jade told me.

We have Social Studies together.

Okay. We're in a time crunch,

so I set the intensity level a little

higher than the pep rally will be.

How's it feeling?

[crowd chanting, cheering]

Tulip, Tulip, Tulip.

How do they all know my name?

Cool. We're all set here.

Jade, my friend.

You ever heard of Doña Esmeralda?

Uh, you mean like

the Doña Esmeralda?

The Curse Whisperer?

Yeah. I've heard of her, but she lives

way up in the mountains of Chile

and is literally

impossible to track down.

Or is she?

Boom!

Hola, Doña Esmeralda.

Hola, The Vince.

Quiero presentarte

a mi amiga Jade.

She has to sing

at the pep rally manana.

The pep rally?

You didn't tell me

it was the pep rally.

That's a big deal.

I heard, 17 years ago

there was this girl--

[both] We know!

Ay! Okay.

Let's get to work.

Jade, hold your hands

close to mine.

But don't touch the screen.

You don't want to get schmutz

all over it. That I can't fix.

[cackles]

Now

close your eyes

and match my energy.

[humming]

Am I supposed to hum too?

What?

No, I was just thinking

of the words to reverse the curse.

But I like your idea,

mi reina.

Hum with me.

[both humming]

I feel it.

My hands are tingling.

[Tulip] Hey, The Vince.

A little help?

Literally no idea how this happened,

but I'm pretty sure

I'm famous in this thing.

[crowd chanting]

Tulip, Tulip, Tulip.

Hey, Shell,

I got something for you. Okay.

Remember when we were little,

you were obsessed with bunnies,

and instead of calling

each other best buddies,

we said best bunnies.

Remember?

Remember? [laughs]

Well, now you have one!

A best bunny.

[Posey narrating]

Okay, drastic measures,

but I hated that Shelly

was still mad at me.

Plus, look how cute

the bunny is!

-Yeah, I'm over rabbits.

-But it's not a rabbit.

It's a bunny.

-Are we good now?

-No.

But I know how we could be.

That's right. All eyes on me!

I ain't scared of you!

I ain't scared of anything.

[playing in tune]

Doña Esmeralda healed me!

Thanks, The Vince.

-De nada.

-[phone chimes]

Oh, gotta run.

I got a 5:30. With my mom.

Okay, it's dinner.

That was incredible.

-He fixed us.

-My curse is gone.

I told you he was good.

I mean, I'm not scared

about performing at the pep rally at all,

even though I know there will be

hundreds of kids in the crowd tomorrow,

and every single one of them

will be staring at us,

judging our every move,

and any mistake that we make,

people are gonna

remember it forever.

That is a lot of people watching

[laughs] and judging.

Why do I care?

And why am I thinking about this now?

And why are your

stuffed animals staring at me?

Tulip. You gave me

your stage fright.

What? That's impossible.

It's not like you could

give me your curse.

You gave me your curse.

[Tulip narrating] Remember when I said

we were kind of out of our minds?

Yeah. This is when

we officially lost our minds.

We Freaky Friday'd each other!

[both scream]

Well, the bunny didn't work.

-What bunny?

-Doesn't matter.

I fixed it. Shelly's not

mad at me anymore.

-What are you talking about?

-She said we'd be good

if I let The Two Shellys be

our backup singers at the pep rally.

Well, obviously

you didn't do that, right?

I did not.

-And then I did.

-[both] Posey!

Posey, how could you ask

The Two Shellys to perform with us?

Yeah, this is not a good time.

I know, the stage fright,

the curse.

No. Stage fright, curse.

We swip-swapped.

Oh, I shouldn't

be touching you. Un-curse, un-curse!

Okay. Um

now feels like a good time to tell you

that The Two Shellys also asked

-if they could come over here to rehearse.

-Oh.

Well, you obviously

didn't agree.

I did not.

Let's just get started.

-Where do you want us?

-Great question.

Since you're our backup singers,

why don't you stand behind us?

Or we could mix things up

and back you up in front of you.

That's different.

Great. From the top.

-Great! Love chats.

I'm gonna tell it

to you straight.

I'm worried about your band.

I mean, we're supposed to back you up,

but there's not much here to back up.

I mean, they're a little off,

but I'm sure they'll be fine.

Can I bring

this couch onstage?

[grunting] I don't think

anyone will notice.

When did this wall get here?

You raise a fair point.

I would hate

for Electric Bloom to embarrass themselves

and be the reason

the football team loses homecoming.

But don't worry.

I've got your back.

Shell and I

could sub in for you guys?

Oh, I don't know.

Then I wouldn't be

mad at you anymore,

and we would

definitely be good.

Like, forever?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Sure. Yeah.

You guys should take our spot tomorrow.

freaked me out about the pep rally

and how many people

were gonna be looking at me.

Wait.

The Shellys messed with us.

[scoffs] How could I have

been so clueless?

I mean, I was so worried

about me and Shelly,

I didn't see

what was happening.

Tulip, you're not cursed.

You're a generational talent

whose hands are made of pop star gold.

They are?

[plays tune]

They are!

And Jade, you could

never have stage fright

because you're a force

of nature,

and the stage should be scared

of you. Now sing!

I'm fixed ♪

[gasps] Wait, I am fixed!

And you know what?

Who cares if Shelly's mad at me?

People can get mad at me,

and some people

may not even like me.

And that's okay.

I just have to learn to deal with that.

I'm proud of you, Pose.

And I'll never not like you.

Thanks, guys.

One more thing.

The Shellys asked

if they could take our pep rally spot.

You didn't say yes, did you?

I did not.

[both] But then you did.

Aw, you guys know me so well.

Hug?

[laughs] No, we're mad at you.

I'll give you one,

but not one of my good ones.

And the Fighting Honeybees'

your question,

our football team

won homecoming.

That wasn't the question,

but yeah, football.

And to answer

the actual question, that's the story

of how Electric Bloom's

rivalry with The Two Shellys started.

-I can't.
