ALIYA: "It takes a village!"

(Gasp)

No peeking! No peeking!

(Giggles)

I can't wait to see it!

(Giggles)

I said no peeking!

Okay! Now!

(Gasp)

So? What do you think?

Oh you're quiet.

Why are you quiet?

Do you hate it?

You hate it.

Is it the turquoise?

It's the turquoise.

Wait, is it the way

I say "turqu-oise"?

(Sigh)

It's perfect.

(Exhale)

OK! (Giggles)

I knew it.

I was just kidding.

(Nova clears throat)

Alright alright.

Let's see what you two

are geeking out about.

Well? Do you like it?

Or do you love it?

Hmm. Wow.

You love it!

(Giggles)

This is actually kind of great.

Nice job.

Cool if I snap a pic?

So. When do we paint it

on the big canvas?

(Gasps) "We"?

Yes, please!

Well, I was thinking we could go

to the community center tonight

and set everything up.

Paints, step ladders,

brushes, drop cloths

and then we can start painting

tomorrow after school!

Smart!

Cause it's gonna be huge!

And we're gonna need a few days

for it to fully dry

before the big day!

Cool.

Thanks, Nova! We need

all the help we can get!

(Chuckles) No hugs.

Oh. Uh

LIANN:

Hm! I got you Aliya!

-Bring it in!

-Wow!

(Giggles)

You're missing out down here.

Just sayin'!

(Giggles)

Am I missing any teeth?

(Liann and Aliya laugh)

(Chuckle)

(Sigh)

Well, this place cleans up nice.

Yeah, it's been full

of workers for weeks.

Everything's all fixed up,

except the electricity.

That was pretty fast.

The mayor has been on it!

Now it's our job to get

inside the rooms ready!

And that means it's time

to paint the mural!

Wow!

That's where we're painting

the mural?

Well, we'll paint

the canvas there,

but then we'll move it to be

on the outside of the building.

Um. Outside? On display?

Is that okay?

Well, ya!

I've just never had

my artwork on display before.

And that's like really

on display! (Nervous chuckle)

This is going to be amazing!

NOVA: Yeah yeah.

It's not gonna happen if

you just sit and gawk all day.

There she is!

(Chuckles)

I was wondering

what happened to the real Nova.

Ha ha. Yeah. You're funny.

Got it.

So. We doing this

or are you just gonna keep

patting yourselves on the back?

(Giggling)

(Sigh)

(Rock music)

So

I've never taken something

from a sheet of paper

to a huge wall before.

Oh. Um.

I haven't really thought

about that either.

How do we do it?

Do we just estimate?

NOVA: Or

We can use the projector I made.

(Gasp)

Wow

It's beautiful!

But how?

Remember when I took

a photo of it?

Well, I built a projector

using spare parts

and my 3D printer.

Wow! Impressive!

Look, it's perfectly lined up.

So don't let anyone touch it!

LIANN: Oh. This is amazing!

Now all we have to do is

trace it onto the canvas.

-Nice!

-The magic of tech.

LEO: Did somebody order

the Leo Special of the Day?

-Now that's what I call magic!

-(Excited shouts)

I thought you'd be hungry.

Can I get a "gracias"?

Thank you, Leo!

You're the best!

Aye, chido! Fantástico!

When do we begin painting?

Oh, it's getting late.

My parents will start to worry.

So, tomorrow!

In the meantime,

no touching the projector.

(Laughter)

Woohoo!

Yeah!

(Chuckles)

-Oh, wow!

-Did you see that?

I know exactly

where I'm gonna start.

(Gasp)

Qué pasa?

I don't know.

They moved my projector.

What a shot! My turn!

Hi, guys!

Paisley, where's all our stuff?

Right. Well it's Tuesday.

So?

You know I volunteer here,

right?

Uh-huh.

Well, I always arrive

right after school

and set things up for Bocce!

-Oh!

-(Chuckle)

What's that got to do with

all our stuff being moved?

Well, sheesh.

Today was a little harder.

(Chuckle)

You moved all our stuff?

You're welcome.

Can you imagine how mad

they would have been

if you'd ruined Bocce Tuesday?

There was a projector,

and tarps, step ladders.

Cords everywhere!

It was a lot of work, actually.

You really need to learn

to clean up after yourselves.

But, Paisley!

We were supposed to paint

the mural on this canvas!

That's why the projector

was right there!

Oh, I see.

Well, you don't want

to put the projector

in the middle of Bocce.

Otherwise they'd get grouchy.

Er

Paisley, look.

I'm sure if I just explain

what we're doing,

they'd reschedule Bocce.

Shh!

They've never postponed Bocce.

Even when this place was full

of construction workers!

Maybe you could just

work around them?

We need to paint!

RAJ: (Grunts)

Comin' through!

Nice toss, Raj!

Look! You're winning!

Thanks, Paisley.

This is harder

than building this cabinet.

(Laughter)

Paisley!

The grand opening is coming up,

and it's our job

to get the inside set up!

We don't have time for Bocce!

(Gasps)

(Crack)

(Smash)

Did that hit the cabinet?

-I made that, you know.

-Oh!

Excuse me for a minute.

Wow. She's handling that

better than I thought.

(Nova screams)

Yeah, I stand corrected.

(Sigh)

As you may have noticed,

the projector's lens is cracked.

Can you fix it?

I can fix anything.

-(Sigh of relief)

-But

I need time.

And I don't have enough time.

I definitely won't be able

to get it working today.

OK, we can paint

the mural later.

We've got to clear the boxes

from the upper levels,

move the new equipment,

and build the stage.

Oh, has anyone seen

the carpenter?

ISABELLE: Carpenter?

Oh, yes.

I told her to come back

next week.

How could we play

with all that banging?

Teens are so funny these days.

(Laughter)

Hey, did I ever tell you

I built this cabinet?

(Sighs) Yes, Raj.

I'm well aware.

(Phone beeps)

Oh! It's Tea and Chat time

with my friends.

See ya!

Wait, aren't we her friends?

(Rock music)

(Grunt)

(Exhales)

OK, now we're making

some progress.

Look at how many boxes

we've moved!

We'll set this floor up

as a gaming room in no time!

That's a lot of boxes!

I wonder what's in them.

All kinds of things.

Mostly records, books,

board games, picture frames.

(Giggles) I peeked.

Wait.

Where'd the boxes go?

We just stacked them

right there.

-(Laughing and screaming)

-(Gasp)

I didn't think anyone

was up here.

Me neither.

(Dramatic music)

-(Scream)

-(Gasp)

(Gasp)

(Door creaks)

- (Laughter)

-(Scream)

(Laughter)

(Soft chuckle)

Still got it!

(Laughs)

(Scream)

(Gasp)

(Phew)

(Embarrassed chuckle)

(Skip grunts)

(Phew)

(Sigh)

-Hi, Skip!

-(Scream)

-(Chuckle)

- (Scream)

No matter how many times

I watch this film,

-I vant

-to suck yer vlood!

(Laughter)

You know him?

(Laughs)

Yeah! That's me!

Skip! He's good friends

with Dale,

the guy who owns the building.

He doesn't like Bocce,

so he stays up here

and watches vampire movies.

My favorite.

(Sips)

Mint delight!

-(Sips)

-Uh

Hello? Skip?

Oh, oh! This is the best part!

(Giggle)

Hey. (Chuckles)

So

Now that the renovation is done,

we're supposed to set up

all the media room equipment

to get ready

for the grand opening.

So, we've got to move

Dale's boxes.

Move the boxes? Sure!

Just leave the ones

covering the windows.

Actually those are the only ones

we still need to move.

Shh!

This is his favorite part!

-But Paisley!

-Shh!

Grab a seat!

(Sigh)

Yeah

Sheesh!

So, what do we do now?

(Sigh)

I guess we can vacuum?

(Moan)

(Whirr)

Wait, no!

You can't vacuum

-(Clunk)

-SKIP: No!

while Skip's watching a movie

cause it blows a fuse.

You are a wealth of information.

SKIP: Do you mind

resetting the lights?

(Growl)

Want to explore

the basement with me?

(Intriguing music)

Ugh!

(Gasp)

(Whimper)

(Giggle)

Oh, it's not that bad.

We just need to find

the circuit breaker.

OK. I'm sure it's around here

somewhere.

OK. So, what do we do now?

(Sighs) Who plays bocce ball

with bouncing ba*ls anyway?

(Phone buzzes)

Nova. Speak.

Hey, Nova!

How's it going?

Did you seriously

just ask me that?

You know her projector is toast!

Hey, so

Do you happen to know anything

about circuit breakers?

They're easier to deal with

than broken lenses.

What's your point?

All the lights are out.

We must have blown a fuse.

Yeah, so.

- See the circuit breaker?

-Yeah.

(Sighs) Look at that panel.

Ugh! Glad I'm not responsible

for that trash.

Close it!

Close it?

Yeah.

The main switch is behind you.

(Clunk)

Oh. Thank you, Nova.

Hooray for little victories.

Um. Yeah.

(Chuckle)

Uh, how's the projector going?

Gotta go.

(Sigh)

(Sigh)

This was not how I wanted

today to go.

I'm guessing you've got

a funny story?

(Gasp) Gertie!

You're back!

Mm!

Oh

(Chuckles)

How are your friends doing?

(Sigh)

They couldn't paint the mural

cause it was Bocce Ball Tuesday

and Raj was winning.

They couldn't move the boxes

cause Skip needed them

to cover the windows.

They vacuumed while

the projector was plugged in,

so the power went out.

Oh. I see.

And Isabelle

sent the carpenter away

because building the stage

would be too loud

while they were playing.

(Chuckle)

And you've taken this all on

by yourself.

What? Well no.

I mean

There's Aliya, and Liann,

and Leo,

and of course, Skip,

Isabelle, and Raj.

Ah! But you're caught

in the middle,

trying to keep

your older friends

and your younger friends happy.

Huh?

Oh.

Maybe?

People only know

what you actually tell them.

Have you talked to Raj,

Isabelle, or Skip?

No. I didn't want to upset them.

But I ended up upsetting

my school friends instead.

I need to talk to them, don't I?

I promise they'll listen.

Want help?

(Chuckles) Mm!

You already did. Thanks!

Any luck?

Not yet.

How's everything else?

The stage isn't built,

the electrical is a mess

and now we can't even

paint the mural!

(Sigh)

I can't do this.

It's impossible!

So, when you say "impossible"

you just mean

"really hard," right?

I feel like we've been

in the way the whole time.

VOICES:

That's not the way we see it.

You've been trying to get things

ready for the grand opening,

and we haven't been

very helpful.

Not untrue.

Change is hard.

And when we thought we were

going to lose the building,

well, we kind of gave up hope.

But then you kids came along,

and you did something

we could never have done.

You saved it.

You saved the Annex.

Yeah. We're pretty awesome.

We were so excited that

the Annex wasn't being torn down

that we kind of

continued as usual.

Sorry.

You kids sure can do anything!

The fact that this building is

still standing is proof of that!

We don't have a projector

to help us paint the mural.

The electricity is overloaded

and needs to be updated.

We need to build a stage.

You know

I can handle electricity?

And me the movie projector.

And I'm a builder.

-Did I tell you I made

-the cabinet?

We get it, Raj!

(Laughter)

It's time to do this together!

(Rock music)

I'm so proud of you all!

Come and get a taco!

-(Gasp)

-(Chuckle)

Aha!

Mm hm!

(Crunch)

I vant to eat some taco!

(Scream)

(Skip chuckles)

Huh. Nice.

(Chuckle)

I was serious

about this food though.

Let's go!

Mm (Chuckles)

That's lovely!

(Crunch)

(Chuckle)

PAISLEY:

I'm sorry about before.

I really wanted

everyone to get along,

but I just didn't know how.

I'm sure it was stressful.

Wanting your older friends

and your high school friends

to all get along.

But it all worked out!

We love these guys!

(Chuckle)

(Chuckle) Yes.

(Clearing throat)

It's time for the big reveal!

Come on. To the street!

Three!

Two!

One!

Go!

(Uplifting music)

(Chuckle)

(Shouts of joy)

Yeah! (Laughs)

Next up! The grand opening!

(Sighs) What we've been

working towards all year.

Oh!

It's splendid!

(Chuckles)

(Gasps) Oh!

Well done!

Yes!
