Oh, I'm wearing a nametag.

Right, Miguel? - Oh, I am yours, girl.
- [gasps] Hey, Leni.

These are my two best friends at school,
Jackie and Mandee, and these are
my two best friends at work, Miguel and Fiona.
girls: Hey. - Oh, hi.
- Leni, we bought so many cute shoes.
- With money to spare for the pop-up sale
this weekend. - Yes!
Pop-up sale! [screams]

I should mosey. - Yeah, me, too.

I need to fix that.
I'll come over after I'm done at Fiona's house, okay?

I should let Jackie and Mandee know

- No, I just made two separate plans
for the same night. - I mean, that's legit

- I think I know how to help Leni.
When I started hanging out with Rusty and Zach
Clyde and Liam felt left out,
so I invited everyone to hang out together
and now we're all BFFs.
- So, you're saying my friends should hang out
with your friends? - No.
Bring your friends together.

My favorites. - Ooh, sparkly water!
Eww, who drinks "pomelo" flavor?
[doorbell rings]
- Oh, good, the other guests are here.
And I got your favorite drink.:
- Oh, I didn't realize this was a "party" party.
- It's just the five of us.
I can't wait for you guys to get to know each other.
I thought we could play a getting-to-know-you game.
On each card is a fun fact about someone in this room.
Your job is to guess who.
Miguel, you can go first.
- "I like pumpkin spice lattes."
I'm gonna guess Mandee. - [gasps]
You're right. How'd you know?
- [disparaging laugh] If your name's Mandee,
liking pumpkin spice lattes is pretty much
your entire brand.
- Wow, you guys know each other so well already.
Jackie, your turn.
- "I have a winning smile."
[giggles] Well, that must be
about Mandee. - Actually,
it was about Miguel.
- Hmm, I don't see it.
- I'm done with this game. - Huh, which card says,
"I'm a quitter"?
- Uh, why don't we try something else?
Okay, I'll go first.
Right foot apple.
Mandee, why don't you go next?
- Leni knows I'm good at this game.
Oh, left foot pineapple.
- I'm pretty good at it, too.
I'm a part-time yoga instructor, so...
Right foot grape.
Leni, I didn't tell you.
Yesterday, I had to deal with a total Penny.
- Oh, no, that's awful.
A "Penny" is what we call someone
who tries using an expired coupon.
- You kind of have to work with us to get it.
- Leni, did you see
Rashida's prom-posal to Brandon?
It was so addy-addy-bing-bang.
- That's our friend word for "adorable."
- You kind of have to go to school with us
to get it.
- Leni, I mean to thank you for helping me get through
that awful 12-hour sale.
I was thinking about how working together
is pretty much the deepest bond there is.
- Really?
'Cause I was thinking that true friendship
isn't something you can find on a rack.
[combative music]
- [gasps] My pomelo!
- My bag! - It was an accident.
I'm sorry I'm not a part-time yoga instructor.
- Leni, this was a terrible idea.
Why did you want us to hang out with them?
- Well, believe me, we didn't want to hang out with you.
- [huffs] We're leaving.
- Don't bother, we're leaving.
[all grunting]
- Guys, wait!
We didn't get to eat
the "New Best Friends" cake I baked.
- Sorry, Leni.
And by the way, Miguel,
everyone likes pumpkin spice.
Except maybe stuck-up part-time yoga instructors.
- [gasps]
[tense music]
- Wow, poor Leni.
She's literally bending over backwards
for her friends. - [groans]
[yelps]
- [groans] These clothes will go out
of style before I get to try them on.
- Oh, it's you.
Ugh. - Didn't Leni tell you
that fuchsia was last season's color?
- Mm, guess she didn't tell you
that you can't pull off those jeans.
- [horrified gasp] - That's it.
Leni, come out. You have to choose.
Either them or us.
Oops. [awkward laugh]
My bad.
Wait, isn't Leni with you guys?
- We thought she was with you.
[gasps] Is she blowing us all off?
- On this week's episode of "Best Friends Forever,"
Kurt is torn between suede fringe
and classic pinstripe. - Luckily, my best friends
are here to help me choose the perfect vest.
- [weeping]
[phone ringing]
Hello? - Leni, what the heck?
Where are you? - Oh, hey.
How's the pop-up sale? - Never mind that.
You ditched us.
Do you have another group of friends we don't know about?
- I'm sorry.
I knew that no matter who I went to the sale with
I'd be upsetting someone, so I decided to stay home.
I'll let you guys go.
I don't want to ruin your day.
- Wow.
Leni missed her favorite sale because of us.
- Ugh.
We are the worst.
- Leni, we need to talk to you. - We overheard your phone call
and we're worried about you.
It's not your fault if your friends
can't get along. - It's not?
- No, and if they can't hang out together,
they'll just have to learn to share you.
- You know what? You're right.
- Now you march over to the store and tell hem
that they're gonna have to grow up.
- Yeah, I will do that!
[rousing music]
Oh, you're here. Well, good.
There's something I have to say to you.
- Actually, there's something we have to say to you.
- No, me first.
If you can't share the store, then you're going to have
to march over to the room and grow me up.
Wait, that's not right.
Dang it, I was gonna practice this on the bus.
- Leni, never mind that.
We came to apologize.
- We've been acting like total jerks.
I'm sorry we got so jealous.
- Even if the four of us aren't gonna be besties,
we can at least try to get along.
- 'Cause the last thing any of us want is to lose you
as a friend. - Aww.
That's supes sweet.
Thanks, you guys.
Hey, do you want to come in?
I was just watching "Best Friends Forever."
both: I love that show!

But middle school is different.

- Wrong.
Hey, back off, pigtails.
