[grunting]

- Phew.
- Hi.

[yelps]
Oh, hey Teresa.

Just who I wanna see.

Nikki!
I've got to show you this.

Right after I do.

[both grunting]

- Teresa!
- Barbie!

- Teresa!
- Barbie!

[straining]

[screaming]

Nikki is one of
my best friends.

So is Teresa for that matter.

And yet you're still
probably wondering

why we were playing
human tug-of-w*r.

Turns out even the best of
friends can find themselves

in a push and pull situation.

[clears throat]

[giggling]

Hello, wonderful
student council members.

How are our plans for
Friendship Day coming along?

We've got everything
all worked out.

There will be crafts, games,
even entertainment.

Wonderful!

But it's not
the same entertainment

as last year, is it?

[playing kazoos]

[shudders]

Actually, we were thinking
of coming up

with a new school song.

One that says something
about who we are today.

Great! That is just what
this school needs.

[yelping]

- You know what else we need?
- More tape.

[music playing in headphones]

[humming]

- Love these headphones!
- I know!

The silent dance party
is gonna be awesome!

[baby crying]

Yes! Babysitting alert!

I love kids.

My family's huge, so there's
always at least one baby around.

Kids love me.

My mom says I'm practically
a baby whisperer.

- [groans]
- What's wrong?

The gig is tonight.

I won't be able to go
to the silent dance party
with you guys.

So say you're busy.

Mr. Guererro
seems really desperate,

and he's one of my best clients.

I'm sorry,
but I need to do this.

Aren't you the
responsible one?

- That's usually me.
- Sorry, Skip.

We'll do an extra big
dance for you.

[singing]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

- [doorbell rings]
- I got it!

- Johnny! Bonnie!
- Hi, Skipper.

Totally stoked
you could watch them.

I really need to do
this show tonight.

Aww, come here
you little cutie.

- [music starts bumping]
- Righteous!

Sounds like there's a show
going on right here.

That's my sister
and her friends.

I'll make sure
they turn it down.

Not on these guys, you can't.
They love it loud.

Don't you,
my little rock stars?

Louder! Louder!

- [laughs]
- Louder! Louder!

[music plays]

[all laughing]

That handshake
is the definition of friendship.

Now we just need an original
song to go along with it.

Well, it just so happens
I've been working on that.

- Wanna hear it?
- Oh, you started without us?

Yeah. I just got
really inspired and...

But that's OK, isn't it?

Sure, of course, it's just...

I sorta started a song, too.

- The lyrics, anyway.
- This is perfect.

Why don't we try Teresa's lyrics
to Barbie's song?

- Great!
- Yeah.

[babbling]

OK, OK, guys.

Can you play nicely while
I prepare a yummy snack

in the other room?

- Yeah!
- [laughs]

[humming]

- [yelps]
- [rustling]

Hmm.

[crashing]

[rapid footsteps]

[beeping]

[gasps]

[groans]

- [laughing]
- [playing piano keys]

[strumming guitar]

You guys!
Oh, seriously?

[strum]

Huh. That's pretty good.

[laughing]

♪ Grades make the grade ♪

- Um...
- Uh...

It was a little...

Yeah, the lyrics
didn't quite match.

They were sort of... formal.

And the melody was a bit...
slow.

- Slow?
- In a good way.

- If it was sped up.
- What did you think, Nikki?

Uh, it's a start?

Yeah, but now what?
Do we keep the lyrics?

- Or the melody?
- Well...

[whimpers]

I have to... feed my turtle.
Bye!

But it's plastic.

"And they all lived
happily ever after. The end."

[snoring]

[exhales]

- Nikki!
- Hang on!

We wanna talk!

- [door slams]
- [crying]

What?
No, Bonnie, don't cry.

Barbie!
[groans]

Whee!

Hey, Skip.
The door was open.

You look busy.

Yeah.
How was the party?

Amazing.
Sorry you missed it.

But you were on our minds
the whole time.

We made a new friend and I told
her about your babysitting app.

Oh, awesome.
Thanks.

I'm glad you guys had fun.

More than you it looks like.

- Yeah.
- Whoo!

[sighs]
What I really need is a clone.

Uh, cloning humans
isn't a thing... yet.

Don't cry.
It's OK.

Maybe I don't need a clone.

You guys are good with kids.

What do you think?
Partners?

That'd be awesome.
Fun!

And we'd get paid, too,
right?

- Split three ways.
- [both] Sweet!

[laughing]

Nikki!
Wait up!

Your turtle will be fine!

I mean, it's not even real!

Sorry, guys.
It's just...

The song was bad,
we get it.

So we've come to a compromise.

We'll both finish
our own songs.

And you can decide
which is best.

What do you think?

[whimpers]

I didn't know it then,

but what Nikki
was actually thinking

was "How did I get
myself into this?"

- Hi!
- [gasps]

Oh, Barbie.

You scared me.

Oh, sorry.
Dropped my phone.

Hey, I worked
on my song all night.

- Wanna hear it?
- Sure.

But uh... after I, um...
you know, tardy.

[yelps]

- Hola, chica.
- [yelps]

Oh, hey, Teresa.

Didn't see you there.

- [music plays]
- Huh?

[music playing intermittently
with locker opening]

[sighs]

I programmed your locker

so that you can sample my song
whenever it's open.

Ha!
Isn't that awesome?

- Uh-huh.
- So, what do you think?

I think I'd better get to class.
Bye.

Hmm.

[grunting]

[exhales]

[whimpers]

[robot noises]

[gasps]

- Phew.
- Hi!

[yelps]
Oh. Hey, Teresa.

Just who I wanna see.

Nikki!
I've got to show you this.

- Right after I do.
- [both grunting]

- Teresa!
- Barbie!

- Teresa!
- Barbie!

[screaming]

So why isn't Nikki
eating with us again?

[groans]

Oh, dude.

- So weird.
- I know.

This is the one class
we all have together.

We've established lunch
is my favorite class, right?

- It might have something
to do with me.
- And me.

How's my dynamic duo doing
with our new school song?

Principal Miller.
Everything's... great.

We even have two options.

Well, all I need
is one good one,

because I just found out
the school board

has invited the local press.

We get enough press coverage
they promise to buy us

that new pool filter
the synchronized swim team

so desperately needs.

[both] Splash.

Arms. Arms. Legs.

-Ta-dah!
-Yeah!

[chuckles]
Yeah.

Don't worry.
You can count on us.

We will not let the school down.

Wonderful.
Are you gonna eat that?

[laughs]

So, we all set?

We'll meet at your
house tonight.

Our first babysitting job
as a team.

I knew I could
count on you guys.

- We're best friends.
- We got this.

- There's three of them?
- That's what "triplet"
generally means.

Don't worry.
Like you said, we got this.

- I'll talk you through it.
- Hang on.

I don't think
that's the right way.

The parenting research I did
said you should do it this way.

[all coughing]

- Oops. Sorry.
- [babies giggling]

I know how to do it.

It's like this.

- See?
- Huh?

I don't think that's right.

[sighs] It's OK.

I'll change the diapers.
You guys can start the baths.

[crying]

Lookie! It's a rubber ducky
here to save the day

getting you all clean.

[cooing]

[sighs]

You guys need to be
a little more careful.

Some babies get scared
at bath time.

I know how to make it
fun for them.

There once was an alligator

who didn't like kids
who aren't clean.

So we better
get you cleaned up.

- [roaring]
- [whimpers]

I don't think
that's how alligators sound.

It's a story.

Whoa!

[yelping]

Maybe we should try
a different story.

"And the all lived
happily ever after."

[exhales]

[whispering] Yay! Our first
successful night of babysitting.

[both] Sweet!

[all crying]

[both] Oops.

[sighs]

[Barbie]
They say the closer the knots

in your friendship bracelet,

the stronger
the friendship bond.

Assuming we still have
friends to share them with.

This song thing has been
really hard on Nikki.

I know. I don't think she likes
either of our songs.

I don't know.
It's possible she just doesn't
wanna hurt your feelings.

My feelings?
Meaning...?

I'm just saying
if she likes my song better

it would make sense
that she's avoiding telling you
to spare your feelings.

Well, maybe she likes
my song better

and is avoiding telling you
to protect your feelings.

[both grunting]

Or maybe she finds
you intimidating.

Intimidating?
How?

- You're a bit competitive.
- You're a bit competitive.

And I'm only competitive
when it's important.

- [meows]
- This is important.

Our school is counting on us.
We need a song in two days.

Maybe we should pick,
so Nikki doesn't have to.

That's a great idea.
And I know the song I'd pick.

Me too.

[both] Mine.

[all crying]

Somehow I don't think
he's coming back.

Uh, that was brutal.

I thought working
with my two best friends

would be the best thing ever,
but it was a total disaster.

We were just trying to help.

It's not like you've been
fun to work with, either.

We both feel like nothing
we've done has been good enough.

Both? So you've been talking
about this behind my back?

I think we should go
since you clearly
don't want our help anymore.

- Excuse me.
- Teresa, wait!

[groans]

- Rough day?
- Yep.

- You?
- Same.

[owl hooting]

I thought I'd be able to work
with my closest friends,

but I guess I was wrong.

Just because things didn't go
perfectly at first,

doesn't mean that
there's something wrong
with your friendship.

You just need
to figure out your rhythm

when it comes to
working together.

[sighs]
I know. Thanks.

It's pretty awesome having
a sister who's always right.

Oh. But am I?

You're not the only one
who's rhythm is off.

[upbeat music plays]

Thanks.

You OK?

Yeah. No.

Spill the tea.

So...

Let me stop you right there.
Teresa already told me.

You can't figure out
the school song.

Yeah.

All I wanna know
is why didn't you ask

your amazing musical friend
to help?

♪ Mi-mi-mi-mi ♪

- Uh...
- Kidding!

My voice isn't for everyone,
I know.

But that doesn't
make me a bad person.

If Nikki thinks one of your
songs is better than the other

you have to be ready to accept
that and not take it personally.

Your friendship is
way more important.

- [music playing in headphones]
- [humming]

Hey.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Fine if you don't wanna talk.

We can each listen
to our own tunes.

That's what a silent dance party
is all about.

Doing our thing.
But sometimes the most fun

you can have
is when you're in sync.

[all humming]

♪ Oh, yeah! ♪

- [all humming]
- [laughing]

I'm sorry about last night.

I shouldn't have been
so hard on you.

I know you both
were doing your best.

We're sorry, too.
We should have talked to you

instead of talking to each other
behind your back.

It's your babysitting company.
Sorry, Skip.

We didn't mean to mess up
your business.

I still need you guys.

I just think we might do better
if we work to our strengths.

Like Navya,
you're great with people.

You should be in charge of PR
and basically getting
new customers.

- Love that.
- Chantal, you're so organized.

Can you handle the calendar
and scheduling?

Already started.
How does next Saturday look?

I'll handle everything else.
Are we good?

- Awesome.
- [laughs]

Aww.

Peekaboo!

- [cooing]
- Aww.

Whee!

Coochie-coochie-coo.

[whooping]

- [giggling]
- [squeaking]

[blows raspberry]

Aww!

[blows raspberry]

[groans]

- Hey.
- Hey.

I've been thinking.
My song isn't really that great.

- Let's do yours.
- I was thinking the same thing.

I mean, that my song
isn't so great,

and we could do yours.

But maybe speed it up a little?

OK, and we can use your lyrics
if we could just change
a couple of the words?

You know, maybe not focus
so much on getting good grades.

- I mean,
school isn't just about that.
- Sure.

It's about a lot more.

Like seeing your friends
every single day.

Come on.
Let's get this right.

Nikki needs us.

- Look at me.
- No, look at me.

- Oh...
- Nikki. Nikki.

- Come on, Nikki.
- [groans]

[applause]

Today at Golden Beach High

we are gathered to celebrate
a very special event.

Friendship Day!

Friends are important.

They help you through
tough times.

What would school
be without them?

- [all] Boring!
- [laughing]

You three.
My office, right after.

- [crowd] Ooh...
- Anyway, a couple of
our student council members

have written a new song
to mark this momentous occasion.

[giggles] Yeah, there's some
things you definitely can't do

without your friends.

A friendship handshake,
for example.

But supporting each other,

listening and learning
from one another?

That's the mark
of a real friend.

It's... it's like this bracelet.

- Each strand is different.
- [meows]

But it's the strength
of the bond

that holds us together.

- [meows]
- What? Blissa!

Good thing I have more.

You can never have too many
friendship bracelets or friends.

Bye.
