02x19 - Amelia's Perfectly Imperfect Volleyball Adventure

[bunniefuu]

- Yo!
- Get ready, fools.

'Cause you're about to hear the
greatest rap song of all time!

That's right, you ain't never
heard rhymes like this before.

Yo! Ready, Paige?

Readier than ever, Frankie.

Let's go!

Oh, I'm getting an alert on my phone.

My aunt just posted pictures of food.

Pancakes, bacon, eggs.

- Pretty standard breakfast.
- Yeah!

She didn't need to post that.

Now back to the rapping.

Listen up, y'all, 'cause we 'bout
to make history with this song.

Show them how it's done, Frankie.

Yo! Hey, yo! Hey, yo!

Hey... Yo, my shoe's untied.

Can't stop the greatest
rap song of all time

with shoes that don't have
as snug a fit as you need.

Great fix. Ready?

Yeah! Let's do this thing.

All right, suckas!

I got one question for y'all:

How's the air quality?

What?

Does it feel a little bit humid to you?

No.

All right. Good, great.
Uh, then no more distractions.

Phones are off.

Shoes are tied. Air quality is...

- pretty good.
- Yeah!

Now, let's get everybody on your feet.

Let's get that energy back up.

The b*at's about to drop!
It's about to drop!

- It's about to drop!
- Here it comes!

The greatest rap song of all time!

Ugh! Nevermind.

And I... I missed it.

Can you believe my mom says

I have wild emotional shifts?

It makes me really sad.

Ooh! Volleyball tryouts.
I love volleyball.

Ooh! That sounds like so much fun.

We should all tryout together.

- Pass.
- Why?

No, that's literally the only
thing I know about spots.

Is "pass" not a volleyball term?

Not really.

sh**t. Is that something?

Ahh, sports are dumb.

Oh, man.

Being on a volleyball team
sounds amazing!

I would finally feel like

I'm apart of something at this school.

Well, it's gonna be tough
to make the team.

They're probably gonna be
a lot of girls trying out.

But with hard work, I know
we can do it because

- hard work is the...
- Nevermind, I'm out.

What do you mean?

"Hard work" just sounds like a lot of...

work.

You can't just quit something
because it seems hard.

And that's the magical sound
of Paige getting involved.

Stay strong.

It's gonna be a mess.

Amelia, you do this.

You quit things when they get too hard.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Ugh!

I forgot my password again!

Uh, if you give up whenever
something seems hard,

you'll never live up
to your full potential.

These are broken.

Amelia Duckworth,

do you want to make
this volleyball team?

Yes, I do. I really do.

Then I am going to personally train you

and I give you the Paige Olvera
guarantee that you will make the team.

Because with hard work,
you can accomplish anything!

Free pretzels!

Sorry, Horse Face Guy.

I couldn't find your horse face
in the Lost and Found.

But honestly, I can't even
tell the difference.

"The Blade Factor"...

Bernie wrote a graphic novel?

Oh, man, this is gonna be bad.

Chapter One...

"Find him in 24 hours

or there will be galactic w*r."

Wow, this is kind of... good.

Mitch Blade found himself surrounded

by an army of octopus-tiger monsters.

It was time to bust out
his signature w*apon...

...The Cosmic Blade.

Do I have goosebumps?

I have goosebumps.

Zortan, King of
the Volcano Planet...

What is it?

What's the option?

There's no ending!

Bernie, what happens at the end?

Well, Grandma says
if you live a good life,

you get wings and meet the
beautiful mermaid in the sky.

What? No, I'm talking about
"The Blade Factor: An Alien Crime Odyssey".

You read it? I thought I lost it,

but when I checked the Lost and Found,

all I found was this horse face mask.

Dah! I could have seen his face!

Look, I need to know what happens
at the end of your book, Bernie.

Does Mitch save the President of Earth?

I don't know. I never wrote the ending.

I decided to become
a master juggler instead.

Oh.

Wanna see me do it
with the apples on fire?

No!

Look, Bernie, you're a talented
writer and an amazing artist.

This book is so good,
it deserves an ending.

Wow, Frankie. You've never
complimented me before. Thank you.

But I'm a juggler now.

Look, I'm dying
to know how this story ends.

So here's a compromise:

How is this a compromise?

I didn't punch you.

Now finish.

Pfft, good luck 'cause
there is nothing that you can do

to make me stay in here.

I was not anticipating a lock.

All right, Amelia, you've got this.

With hard work,
you can accomplish anything.

Are you ready to train?

Readier than a catfish at a cotillion!

Don't know what that means,
but let's play some volleyball!

♪ Paige is training Amelia ♪

♪ And it's gonna take some time ♪

♪ She's bumping the ball
and she's slapping the ball ♪

♪ And I hope those are the right terms ♪

♪ Now she's trying to open pretzels ♪

♪ 'Cause they're a metaphor
for volleyball ♪

♪ If she can open up that baggie ♪

♪ Then I guess
she's good at volleyball ♪

♪ Now we see a little progress,
and she... ♪

♪ Oh, no, she missed the ball ♪

♪ I guess I'll wait

♪ Okay, she's got the ball ♪

♪ Now it seems she's getting better ♪

♪ 'Cause she's looking
a little more... confident ♪

♪ It's hard to tell
'cause I don't know volleyball ♪

♪ I'm not really a sports guy ♪

♪ But she's closer with the pretzels ♪

♪ And she's quitting less and less ♪

♪ Remember that's her problem
from Paige's point of view ♪

Hey, Mom. No, I can't talk right now.

I'm narrating a girl's life.

Yeah, it's mostly done.
I'll call you back.

♪ Okay, let's get to the end ♪

♪ 'Cause this song's really long ♪

♪ And Amelia's still there
so I guess she's good ♪

Yep, they're jumping.

She definitely got good.

Man, I could go for some pretzels.

Yes! I made the team!

I am so awesome!

Sorry. Uh, I need to be
more aware of my surroundings.

Oh, no.

Amelia's not on here.

Paige!

Did we make it? Did we make it?
Where's the list?

Uh... Coach isn't posting one this year.

'Cause, you know, trying to save the trees.

Climate change is real.

But he told me to tell you...

that you made the team. We both did!

Oh, my gosh! We did it!

Thank you for showing me
how much potential I have.

Now I feel like I can do anything!

♪ What's Paige gonna do? ♪

♪ She lied to Amelia ♪

♪ Now she's gotta fix it
or Amelia will think ♪

♪ That hard work can't accomplish uh...
anything ♪

Sorry, can I do that again?

No? Okay.

What's up, guys?
Today we are doing the Fort Challenge.

Frankie and I are gonna go
against Paige and Bernie

to see who can build the best
fort out of all this stuff.

Then we'll get in and the other
team will test how strong it is.

You sure you don't want to test
how strong this is?

Yes.

This is our humble abode.

Out here we have
a nice little seating area.

There's enough pillows
for you to take a little nap.

- So, you think it's this huge mansion...
- Yeah, uh-huh.

but actually, you lift up

- the pizza box doors...
- Mm-hmm.

- Um...
- There's a nice little room

in which you can lay... Ow!

Lay down.

All right, so they built a fort.

They think it's stable.

Let's put that to the test.
First stop...

Let's go.

Ahh!

We are now going to do
the same test to them.

Here are...

All right, guys, so in conclusion,

- we won.
- We all won.

- We won, but they...
- We all won.

- We won, but they...
- We all won.

Let's come over. Come on, sleep over!

- We did it!
- This is nice!

- New home!
- This is nice.

Coach Carlson, you have to
let Amelia on the team.

She worked hard,
and if you crush this dream,

she'll never try hard at anything again.

Don't you want to help change
a girl's life forever?

Nah.

That's it?

I said so many words
and you just said one.

Yeah.

Coach.

Look, your friend's not bad,

she's just not as good
as the other girls.

Oh.

I'm one of the other girls.

Besides, I got my own problems.

Head of the P.T.A.
wants to get me fired.

She says I don't value my job

and every time I talk to her,
I say something stupid.

Like, "Go ahead, fire me then.
I don't care."

Yeah, all those words are wrong.

Hey, how about this?

Now, if you put Amelia on the team,

I'll make a video
starring you to convince

the head of the P.T.A.
you're a good guy.

Yeah, that could trick her.

All right, you got a deal.

Yay!

Hey, tell me if you think this is
a good way to start the video.

Okay. Hey, dumb
dummy from the P.T.A....

I'll write the script.

Bernie, you call this an ending?

Zortan and Mitch Blade
hanging out at the beach?

Flip the page.

They win a sand castle contest.

They're sworn enemies
in the middle of a galactic w*r!

And on this page,

you just doodled "Mister
Bernie Blade" 50 times times.

Well if I married...
Wait, no, he's not real.

Bernie, I don't care. I need an ending.

Why does this mean so much to you?

You remember when your
Puppy Princess show

was canceled before the finale?

Worst day of my life.

We never found out what
happened to Lady Barkington.

You see? That's how I feel.

Mitch Blade is my Lady Barkington.

Frankie, that's crazy!

Mitch Blade is a fictional character.

Lady Barkington is inspired
by a real dog princess!

All right, this is going nowhere.

I'm gonna chain you to that chair
until you come up with an ending.

Frankie, please, no!

Look, I'll keep working.

I just really want to give you an ending

'cause we're good friends.

Thank you.

Ha, ha!

Never trust a juggler!

I'll get you, Schotz!

Listen up, P.T.A.

I got a lot of things to say to you,

and you're gonna hear all of them.

My volley...

Hello, I am Coach Carlson.

And I love my job.

So much so that I stomp around in joy.

Thank you, P.T.A.

I will now yell warm feelings
at this student.

Get out of my sh*t!

I'm trying to save my job!

Well, you obviously don't know
how to do sound right,

but the video worked.

They let me keep my job.

And your friend
Frankie's on the team now.

Uh, it's... it's Amelia.

Ah!

I gotta do some paperwork.

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, everybody. Amelia Duckworth,

superstar volleyball player here.

And since I'm on the Sierra High team,

that makes us
the greatest team in the world.

Oh, no.

I am challenging
state volleyball champions

Eggermont Academy to play us.

Hey Eggermont,

we're gonna rip you apart!

Ah, no one's gonna get
the pretzel thing.

Good news! Eggermont
accepted my challenge!

But... Uh, Amelia,

Eggermont is the best team in the
state and not even in our division.

Why would you do that?

It's all because of you.

You taught me that with hard work,

I can accomplish anything.

So I know if we practice
really hard, we're gonna win!

Oh no. I wonder if Coach
Carlson knows about this yet.

So you saw Amelia's video?

What video?

Amelia challenged Eggermont
and guaranteed we'd win.

At what?

Volleyball.

Oh, that's bad.

It's really bad.

Amelia's gonna embarrass herself,

and the team.

She's never gonna wanna try
anything again.

Ugh! It's all my fault.

Yeah.

Hey, guys, I'm Paige.

- I'm Frankie.
- And we're Bizaardvark.

Today, we are going to be playing...

All right, so we are going to take turns

reading each other sentences

and then we're gonna try and
give the worst reaction we can.

- All right.
- I'm gonna go first, you ready?

You failed your math test.

Yes! I love failing math tests!
My favorite!

I'm so happy!

You are actually my sister.

No!

You'll never learn French.

I saw your dad fight a leprechaun.

You are everything I aspire to be.

Pfft. That's weird, gosh.

I found a million dollars and
you can have it if you want.

No!

I cry myself to sleep.

Hey, me too!

Cry together at night sisters!

Oh!

I am actually part rabbit.

Ahh!

They're so menacing!

Ahh!

Paige.

I just spoke to the rest of the girls,

morale is super high.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Morale means fear, right?

No, it... it means their spirits.

Oh. No, those are low.

Nobody thinks we can win this thing.

Come on!

I know everybody's scared of Eggermont,

but how tough can they be?

We're dead.

Amelia...

there's something I have to tell you.

You didn't really make...

An inspirational speech, you're right!

Hawks! Gather 'round and pop a squat!

Today,

we are not who we were.

We're not even who we are.

For today,

we can become who we want to be!

So meaningless, but so moving.

Don't wait for your moment.

Make now your moment!

And together, we'll prove
that with hard work,

we can accomplish anything!

Yeah!

Yeah! We worked hard,

we can win this thing!

Ah!

Oh!

Ugh!

Why are they still playing?

They won over an hour ago!

♪ Hey! Hey! ♪

Martin R. R. George?

That's right. Creator of your
favorite TV show, Princess Puppies.

"Bark! Who goes there?"

I wrote that.

Oh... my... gosh.

He is the only man
on Earth who knows how

Princess Puppies was supposed
to end before it got canceled.

He agreed to come here
and tell you, but first,

you must save him from Zortan,

the Volcano King!

Like the last scene I wrote in
The Blade Factor:

An Alien Crime Odyssey
by Bernard M. Schotz!

Exactly.

Give me an ending to your story

and you'll find out
what happened to the puppies.

The red carpet on the floor is hot lava

and we are minutes away

from galactic w*r.

Here, use your Cosmic Blade.

I am Mitch Blade!

The blade turns lava into rock.

But Zortan would fire his lava g*n.

Not so fast!

Mitch Blade still has
the invisibility cloak.

Of course!

It was a gift from
the Oracle of Invisia.

The Oracle of Invisia?

I'm gonna steal that.

Oh no!

You lost your cloak!
Now Zortan can destroy you!

You forgot the first rule
of The Volcano Planet.

A King cannot k*ll...

his own son.

Are you saying Zortan

is Mitch Blade's father?

Yes.

But a son can k*ll

a king.

Ahh!

Now that's an ending!

I can finally move on with my life!

Okay, the moment I've been
waiting my entire life for.

How does Princess Puppies end?

Are you ready?

The puppy becomes a princess.

What? Are you... What?

That's crazy!

I know. I'm very, very talented.

How did we lose?

We practiced so much!

Hey, hey! Hey, don't throw
your trash at her.

This was all my fault.

Throw what's left of your trash at me.

Wow, you guys really had a
lot of trash left to throw.

What do you mean, it was all your fault?

You never made the team.

- But you told me...
- I lied.

I'm so sorry, Amelia.

Why would you do that?

Well, because I was wrong.

I guess sometimes you can work
really, really hard at something

but still not succeed.

You know what?

I'm glad you pushed me.

I made some new friends, and...

even though we didn't win,

I think everybody had
a lot of fun today.

And, hey, I got
really good at volleyball.

Yeah.

So, maybe you can work your butt
off and not get what you want...

but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

In fact, I'm gonna tryout
again next year.

Maybe that's the lesson

I was trying to teach you all along.

- Was it?
- No.

Thanks, Paige.
