01x16 - How We (Sorta) Got Our First Big Break: Part One

[bunniefuu]

♪ If I was a radio ♪

Hey, Bloomies!
We've got a surprise for you.

Prepare to have your minds blown.

Because we're recording this from...

[all reading]

[all giggle]

We're jetting privately.
How sick is this?

I asked to fly it.
They said no. That was the right answer.

-Check out what they did for us.

[attendant on PA] We have reached
cruising altitude.

You may now remove your seatbelts

I love you, plane!

Well, only 11 more hours till touchdown,

so how 'bout we do
a little Ask Us Anything?

Yas, plane!

We've got a question from ElectricDiva27.

She asks, "Did you guys ever try out for
one of those singing competition shows?"

Well, yes! But also, no. Maybe.

It's a great story.
It all started one day

when Principal Jeffers
was in a stinker mood.

No slamming the locker. Detention!

No running in the hallway. Detention!

Not paying attention? Detention!

Yes, I know I rhymed,
but that doesn't diminish your crime.

[chuckles] Detention!

So, yeah, Principal Jeffers
was clearly having a time,

but we had our minds on other things.
The Ultimate Voice!

The biggest singing competition show
out there.

We had submitted a video of us singing,

and we were dying to find out
if we got an audition.

Okay, the suspense is k*lling me,

and it's making my hands
really sweaty.

-Dang, girl!
-I know. I gotta get it checked out.

-[notification chimes]
-We got the e-mail! We got the e-mail!

"The Ultimate Voice would like
to invite Electric Bloom

"to our regional auditions..."

[all squeal]

Okay, okay, stop screaming.
There's lots more details.

"Auditions are Saturday,
January 31st."

That's it. We can scream again.

[all screaming]

[screaming frantically]

What's going on in here?

And what is all this?

This is supposed to be a storage closet,

and you turned it into a Girl Cave?

With all due respect, sir, this is a lair,
and it's gender neutral.

This kind of violation
comes with serious consequences, ladies.

Clean-up duty every Saturday in January.

Including Saturday, January 31st?

What part of every Jaturday in Sanuary
don't you understand?

All of it?

You know what I meant.
You'll be here on the 31st.

Goodbye, Ultimate Voice auditions.

And goodbye, my secret lair.

So sorry, Jade.

Seriously! You need an appointment,
like, today.

Those hands are damp!

[grunts] Scraping off gum is so gross!

It's called trashcans, people!

I'd complain about scrubbing,

but most of this table art is mine.

Oh, I remember this one!

Whoa, where did I even learn that word?

Ladies, what are you
doing here on a Saturday?

-What are you doing here on a Saturday?
-Touché.

We've got our weekly meeting
of the Modern Bros Club.

"Modern Bros Club?"

It's a safe space where evolved bros
can share their feelings.

And also discuss pressing issues like

what color hoodie to wear on weekends.

And how much body spray
is too much body spray.

The modern bro should linger in the mind,
not the nose.

Also, every meeting ends with a pie.

It all started when one guy said,
"Up high!"

But someone misheard him, so now,
we get a pie.

Noice! Up high!

Sorry, I don't have any.

Well, have fun at your meeting.

We'll be here for the next four Saturdays,

cleaning the school and not auditioning
for The Ultimate Voice.

Thanks to Jeffers.
He's in such a bad mood lately.

You know, Jeffers is
the Modern Bros Club advisor.

Maybe we can get him to open up
to the group and see what's going on.

Yes! Find out what makes him happy,
what he's missing in his life.

Then, we can help him and maybe
he'll let us skip the last Saturday.

On it!

-[both] Jade!
-What? I'm gonna clean it up!

Welcome, Modern Bros! Lucas, start us off.
What's on your mind, bro?

First, I just want to circle back
to a question from last meeting.

I did some research
and it turns out a hot dog is a sandwich.

No! Dude, the hot dog bun
wraps around the meat.

-Therefore, it's in the taco family.
-We're not doing this again!

Lucas, do you have a share?

I do.

There's this girl I like.
It's not important what her name is...

[all] Posey.

-So, this anonymous girl...
-Everyone knows it's Posey.

...recently met a guy at this party.

And I'm bummed
because I missed my chance with her.

But, I'm working through it.

Thanks for sharing.

We hear you, we see you, we clap you.

Taco! See? Right here.

It's a sandwich.

Now, let's hear from another bro.

Maybe an older bro, with a big job

who may or may not
be going through a little life bump.

Lucas, ball me.

I've been a little off, lately.

I work all the time, then I go home
and hang out with my friends.

And by my friends,
I mean I watch the show Friends.

-We hear you, we see you--
-Not done.

I just feel like if there was
something in my life that brought me joy,

I'd be in a better mood.

-Bro needs a hobby.
-We're on it.

[sniffs] Also, one of you
is wearing way too much body spray.

[both] See? I told you!

So, we tried finding Jeffers a hobby,

hoping that getting him into a better mood
would get us out of clean-up

and into those Ultimate Voice auditions.

But the only hard part was figuring out

what kinda hobby
that grumpy pants would be into.

What a fun way to pass the time!

Painting brings me so much joy!

This is a hobby people have, too!

[all sigh in exasperation]

Do you girls mind? I'm trying
to read about an open casting call

for the local theater company's
spring musical.

Oh, right!
He likes theater. We knew that. Duh!

It says to try out,
you have to show up in a full costume.

But I don't have any costumes.

Ah! Forget it!
I'm just not gonna go.

-No, no, no!
-No, you should go!

We know someone who has costumes.

[all] Peg!

Thank you so much for helping us out.

What's the point of owning a thrift store
if you can't make house calls?

Or school calls!

-You just made that up?
-I did!

Let me just get my things organized.

Okay. I'm ready to find
the perfect costume. Where's your friend?

Hi! I'm Peg.
Like leg, with a P!

I was going to say like
"Pet" with a "G."

No one's ever said that to me before.

[♪ romantic rock music playing]

I'm Jincimal Peffers.

I mean... [clears throat]

I'm Principal Jeffers.

And I'm... I... I'm still Peg!

Oh! [chuckles]

I don't mean to be forward,

but would you like to take a tour
of my school?

I thought you'd never ask.

[both laugh giddily]

Okay, that was the most adorable
and weirdest meet cute I've ever seen.

If I ever have a meet cute,
I know exactly how it's gonna go.

A tall, handsome boy in a pink tuxedo
will tap me on the shoulder,

tell me a knock-knock joke,
then pull trail mix out of his pocket,

and offer me some,
for protein, but also just, like, because.

Girl knows what she wants.

Do you guys think that Peg and Jeffers
could, like, like-like each other?

[♪ whimsical music plays]

[both] We're getting married!

[Posey] After only two weeks of dating?

Yeah, they, like, like-liked each other.

-Wow!
-Congratulations!

You guys got some serious air!

I know it's fast, but I've waited
my whole life for this man.

His administrative confidence
is infectious.

I've been infected!

And to thank you girls
for bringing Peg into my life,

I'm ending your punishment.

Today's your last Clean-Up day!

You mean we don't have to do
next Saturday? The 31st?

Would you excuse us for a second?

-We're free on the 31st!
-We're auditioning for The Ultimate Voice!

We accept the terms
of your un-punishment.

And guess what?
Since this is where we met,

we're having our wedding
here at Edison County High!

Why? I mean... Wow!

And since there wouldn't be
an us without you introducing us,

we'd love to have you play a song
for our very first dance together.

Something different and fun.
Like us!

Say yes, please?

[all] Yes!

So, when's the special day?

-The 31st.
-I'm sorry. What?

-The 31st.
-Of this month?

Guys, she said it twice.

It's the 31st! Oh, no!

We were in a pickle.

We had committed to being in two places
at the same time.

And back then, none of us
had identical twins to make this possible.

-Mmm! To be clear, we still don't.
-That we know of.

Okay. Here's the situation.

Milton Hotel,
where the auditions are gonna be, is here.

The school, where the wedding
is gonna be, is here.

Coordinates confirmed.

Did you two rehearse that?

[both] We did.

Hey, guys, I'm on pie duty
for our next Modern Bros meeting.

Does anyone know
how many ounces are in a cup?

-Eight.
-Four.

-Seven?
-Twelve?

How big is the cup?

Our objective today,

strategize a solution
so we can attend both events.

-Oh, oh, oh!
-You have an idea?

No. I just realized we've never been
all together in this room before.

It's a big moment!

But not a crisis.
As you were.

The weather forecast
for the 31st is a low of 22, high of 37

with a 40% chance of precipitation.

-How is that relevant?
-[both] It's relevant.

No, honestly, that rehearsing
really paid off.

I reached out to my government contact

regarding the status of teleportation.

He wrote back.

Still not invented.

Can you ask him about aliens?

Oh, you don't need to.
I'll tell you.

They exist! They're with us.
Trust no one.

Hey, guys, is salted butter

-the same as unsalted butter?
-No.

-Yeah.
-Sometimes.

-Maybe?
-How big's the butter?

[sighs] This will never work.

The push pins are too far apart.

Unless...

-That's it!
-[bell dings]

Oven's preheated.

We can't be in two places
at the same time,

but we can be
in the same place at two times.

So does that mean
teleportation's back on the table?

No, it's not, babe.

The Milton Hotel has two banquet halls.

The Ultimate Voice auditions
are in one of them.

Yeah. All we have to do
is convince Peg and Jeffers

to get married in the other banquet hall
instead of the school,

and then we can make it to both.

Perfect! Quick question.

Does anyone know
how many apples go in a banana cream pie?

[all] None.

What a moment! Quick selfie.

Everyone get together and say,
"All together in my music room!"

[all] All together in my music room!

[camera shutter clicks]

So, we split up
to put the plan into action.

The guys talked to Jeffers at school,

and we took Peg out
for a little pre-wedding manicure.

Okay, we have to get Peg
to change her wedding to the Milton Hotel,

but be subtle
or she'll know something's up.

How about purple?

We think you should change
your wedding venue!

Okay, we have to get Jeffers
to change his wedding venue,

but be subtle
or he'll know something's up.

Cool shirt, Principal Jeffers.

We think you should change
your wedding venue.

But in a subtle way.

You don't think my Pudding and I

should get married at the school?

Don't get us wrong, it's totally romantic,

but when you were a little bro
and imagined your wedding day,

did it take place in a high school?

No, I always dreamt
I'd get married on a llama farm,

but what little girl doesn't?

Uh-huh.

But, if we think really hard,
maybe we could come up

with some place even more romantic.

Like the Milton Hotel.
That place is to die for.

But we have to move quickly,
'cause it's super exclusive.

-I heard...
-Keanu Reeves hosted

a charity banquet there
for underprivileged amphibians.

K-Dawg? He's the ultimate Modern Bro.

I know. He's so versatile.
I loved him in...

Bill and Ted's! That's who should
cater it. Bill and Ted's catering!

Their pigs in a blanket are cuter
than actual pigs in actual blankets.

And don't even get me started
on their sound system.

It's so perfect, the music
they put on it sounds like...

[mimicking ambulance siren]

Anyway, that's what an ambulance
sounds like in Europe.

What were we talking about again?

How Principal Jeffers should definitely
change the venue of his wedding.

[both] So, what do you say?

[both] Let's get married
at the Milton Hotel!

[all cheering]

Success! We made some calls
and got the wedding switched

to the banquet hall right next
to The Ultimate Voice auditions.

What could possibly go wrong?

-Posey, don't jinx it!
-Tulip, it already happened.

Oh, phew! How'd it go?

Wow! Lots of people here to audition.

Good thing we have
our appointment time.

We can just go right to the front.

-Oh! Excuse me, um...
-Blayson.

Okay, well...

Wait. Seriously?
Is that, like, short for...

Blayson.

-As in...
-Blayson.

Oh! Pretty!

We're Electric Bloom.
We have a 3:00 p.m. appointment.

-We're here to audition.
-[scoffs] Sweetie, 3:00 p.m. is the start

of your window to wait to audition.

All of these people
have 3:00 p.m. appointments.

[yells] All these people
have appointments?

Tulip. Calm down. I got this.

[yells] All these people
have appointments?

Jade, calm down. I got this.

Are you sure it's not Jason?

Stick these to your bellies.
When your number is called,

you'll have three minutes
to get to the audition room

or you forfeit your time forever.

Or you can come back next year.
I don't care. I won't be here.

Okay! We're number 822.
That means they won't call us for hours.

We'll have plenty of time
to sing for Peg and Jeffers

and get back here in time to audition.

Now calling numbers 23 and 814.

What? That's a low number
and a high number. There's no order.

-How do you know what number's coming up?
-You don't.

[phone notification chimes]

Guys! Peg says "wedding emergency."
She needs us.

Wait, all of us? We can't all go.

One of us has to stay here
in case they call us.

I'll stay. You two go.

I'm gonna have a word with Blayson
about this...

-[knuckles crack]
-...number system.

Please don't.

Tulip!

There are my girlies!

-Wait, where's Posey?
-She's, uh... Uh...

-Peg! Oh, I love your hair!
-Oh, thanks!

Only half of it's mine.

Also, I got something for you gals.

It says "Peffers!"
Peg plus Jeffers!

Oh, wow! I mean...
Wow! [chuckles]

-I knew you'd love them!
-What's this material? Polyester?

Repurposed horse saddle.

I had them made to thank you
for being part of this special occasion.

Promise me you won't take them off
the rest of the day.

I don't think I can.

We'll go give Posey hers.
Okay, bye!

You have to wear this
when we're at the wedding. I know. I know!

What is this, repurposed horse saddle?

-Where are your numbers?
-Oh, sh**t! We had to get rid of them.

Blayson, can we get new numbers, please?
We're 822.

Not anymore, you're not.

You're 948. Bellies, now.

-Number 822, you're up.
-[girls] Seriously?

[phone vibrates]

It's Peg. She says the organist is sick
and there's no one to play

while she walks down the aisle.

She's asking if we'll do it.

I'll stay. You two go.
Go, go, go! Run to her!

-Okay. We should get back to Tulip.
-I'm right here.

I love weddings.

Tulip, if you're here,
who's saving our spot at the audition?

-Did I register you three?
-Yeah. You don't remember us?

That's rude, bro.
We remember you.

-What's your band name?
-What's your band name?

Hey, Blayson!
Your boss needs you.

Oh, man.
What does Fronathan need now?

-Fronathan, I'm losing it.
-[phone notification chimes]

Peg again.
She says she needs me. Just me.

Don't read into it.
She just likes me the best.

-Tulip, I need a hug!
-Aw! Get in here!

I have horrible news!
My maid of honor just bailed on me

to go to Cancun
with her on-and-off doofus boyfriend!

Oh, no!
That makes me wanna spin you around.

I know this is last minute,

and I would never ask this
unless I was in a real bind,

but would you do my maid of honor speech?

Aw, Peg!
I would be maid-of-honored!

Aw!

Number 948, you're up.
Time to audition for The Ultimate Voice.

-We're here.
-All of you?

Most of us.

Oh, too bad you didn't sign up
for most of an audition.

You've got three minutes
to get all of you in that room.

-Tulip's not answering.
-What is she doing?

What is love?

Love is a question.
Love is an answer.

Love is like socks. One works,
but two is better. Thank you! Bye-ee!

They called our number.
We gotta go.

Girls, where are you going?
It's time for you to play the first dance.

And why are you wearing
number 948 on your bellies?

-[girls] Uh...
-What is... numbers?

Okay. We can't do this anymore.

Here's the truth.

We convinced you to move your wedding
to this hotel so we can perform for you,

and try out for The Ultimate Voice

which is holding auditions
in the next room.

We're so sorry we tried to squeeze in
our audition on your big day.

We wanted to be there for you,

but this opportunity could be
life-changing for our band.

-We didn't know what to do.
-We feel awful.

In one minute,
we're gonna miss our slot,

and we're messing with your wedding day.

Ladies, thank you for being honest.

If there's one thing
I've learned from you three,

it's to go after what you want
and follow your dreams.

Jeff, I'll be back in five.
Come on, girls!

Jeff? Wait, his name is Jeff Jeffers?


Okay, number 517, you're up.

-No, no, no. Number 948 is here.
-We've moved on.

-517.
-517.

Take one more step,
and it'll be your last.

Listen, these three girls are talented,
amazing souls,

and you'd be depriving
the world of their magic

by not letting them in that room.

I left my own wedding
to give them this opportunity.

Do the right thing. Please...

Blayson?

[Jade] Blayson said no,
and we were really bummed.

But we still got to play Peg's wedding!

[people applauding]

Hi, I'm Peg Jeffers!

Yeah, you are, girl!

We wanna thank you three
for all your help with the wedding.

And I'm so sorry that you weren't able
to audition for The Ultimate Voice,

but Electric Bloom will forever be
the soundtrack to our life.

Oh, and, Jade, your secret room at school
will remain padlocked.

But if one were to ever
need the code for it,

it would be today's date, 0131.

-Thanks, Jeff.
-Nope.

Yeah, I didn't like it either.

Okay, all you party people,

DJ LoveBug is loading up on
pigs in a blanket,

so I'm taking over.

Time to slow it down.

[♪ slow dance music playing]

-May I?
-Hmm! You may.

But just know when I dance at weddings,
I go off.

-Knock knock.
-Who's there?

-Shane.
-Shane who?

Be a Shane if I didn't get to dance
with a girl this beautiful.

Also, would you care for some trail mix?

-For protein?
-Yes. But also, just like, because.

[squeals]

Guess your boyfriend couldn't make it?

-What boyfriend?
-The guy from Ava Bradley's party.

We never made it to that party.

Who told you I had a boyfriend?

It was... Nevermind.

So, no date?

Nope.

-And you're not with Shelly Sharp anymore?
-Nope.

So, that means we're both...

-Pose?
-Yeah?

Would you like to dance?

I should have said this the first time.

Yeah.

Hey, girls, can I speak with you?

Uh... We're kind of busy.

Okay. Well, I just want to say
I heard you play and it was incredible.

Thank you so much!
So, how do you know the happy couple?

Oh, I'm not here
for the wedding. I'm a music producer

and guest judge on The Ultimate Voice.
My name's Stephanie Bradley.

-[girls] Stephanie Bradley?
-[record scratches, music stops]

You know, it's not every day you see
a bride leave her own wedding

to fight for a band.
You girls must be special.

Are you gonna let us audition?

Oh, you just did.

Not for the show, for me.
I would love to work with Electric Bloom.

You got a minute?

[girls exclaim]

We had more than a minute
for Stephanie Bradley.

We didn't know it yet, but things were
about to change for Electric Bloom.

Yeah, but there's way more to that story.

To be continued!

[all] Bum-bum-bum!

[girls chanting] Private jet. Ooh! Ooh!

[♪ theme music playing]
