Andi Mack

Whoa!

Watch where you're going, psycho!

You could have killed someone!

Both: Andi?

Sorry, I haven't figured out the brakes yet.

So what do you think, you like it?

Not like. Love!

Literally, the best thing ever!

- Really? - Yeah.

- Oh, yeah. - Hardcore and fierce.

Savage!

When do you think you'll take off the training wheels?

I can't believe your mom let you get this.

Oh, she has no idea. I traded in my bike.

That, plus the money I made cat-sitting for the Wadmans.

Hold on, back up.

You really think she'll let you keep this thing?

The woman wouldn't let you

within 10 feet of a bouncy castle.

All of that changes as of tomorrow.

What happens tomorrow?

I turn 13.

I become a teenager.

It means I get to rebel.

Okay. Yeah, sure. Do that.

But start with something simple.

You know, some black nail polish.

Or part your hair...

on the other side.

Cyrus! The girl wants to up her game!

Don't discourage her.

I'm not trying to up my game.

I'm just tired of hearing "no" every time I ask for something,

so this time, I just didn't ask.

Girl: Well, here we are. Still feelin' brave?

Um...

I'm impressed. We made it almost to your driveway...

before you chickened out.

I'm not chickening out.

I could hide it in my garage.

Cyrus, would you?

That'd be great.

Bock-bock-bock.

Whoa. Now that's the real deal.

I like yours better.

- Who is that? - Do you know anyone who...

Bex?

Bex!

Hey, Andiman.

You guys, it's my sister!

What are you doing here?

What do you mean? I couldn't miss your birthday,

which, don't say it, I know I've missed most of them.

I don't care! You're here now.

Uh, hi. I don't know if you remember me?

Cyrus. Yeah, of course.

- Are those your wheels? - Oh. Uh...

Yeah! Totally.

Yeah, full-throttle outlaw, kissing asphalt on my hog...

Those are all the biker words I know.

And, Buffy. Wow, you're like, turning into the real Buffy.

I am a real Buffy.

And I would prefer not being compared to a fictional vampire slayer

on a television show from the last century.

Although, I recently started watching it, and it's pretty good.

So does Mom know you're here?

I want it to be a surprise.

Oh. You know she hates surprises.

Yeah! So, will you come with me?

- Yeah! - And tell her.

Okay. Come on.

Dad! Look who came home for my birthday!

- Bex! - Hi, Dad!

What a wonderful surprise.

Oh... I'm so happy.

- Me, too. - Celia, look who's here!

I see.

Hi, Mom.

Rebecca. You look well.

Thanks.

So do you.

How long will you be staying?

Okay, so much for the pleasantries, huh?

Dad, can you brace Mom, and give her something to grab?

I will be staying a while,

'cause I'm... moving back home.

- Really? Really? - Yeah, really.

- If that's okay. - Of course it's okay.

It's your home, too.

Except your room is now an office/home gym,

and we sold all your toe rings at a garage sale.

We have a pull-out couch, and you can stay for as long as you want.

So my plan is, is to get a job, and find a place to live.

I'm really ready to get my life together.

Hmm. Why now?

Well, I don't want this one to grow up

- before I do. - (laughing)

Too late for that.

Wow!

Great dramatic exit, Mom.

- You still got it. - (sighs)

- Hey. You busy? - Hi.

No, just messing around.

Oh. What's this?

It's a straw and a shoelace.

Seriously?

You just turned a straw and a shoelace into a bracelet.

Yeah. Look at this.

Anything can be a bracelet.

Comic books.

Whoa...

- Soda tabs. - (laughs)

And I think this was my old retainer.

Which, if Mom asks, I'm still wearing at night.

What? What do you do?

You just take stuff out of the trash?

Hello, carbon footprint, future generations.

And bonus, it drives Mom crazy.

Yeah, I'll bet.

Can I have this?

No, let me make you something special.

No, this is special. I love it.

- (makes shooting noise) - (Andi laughs)

Did you make this, too?

Yeah, out of the scarves you sent me.

Andi...

Look. Mardi Gras, the Texas State Fair,

that music festival where people supposedly get naked.

They do?

Did you?

What? No, come on. You know me better than that.

I really don't.

That's true. You don't.

But I can fix that.

Don't move. I'll be right back.

Okay.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Andi never sees what's inside this box.

It's just pictures.

They're not just pictures.

It's secrets.

Things she doesn't need to see or know.

Okay, Mom. I won't show her the box.

Thank you.

Okay.

This is like my diary. You can't tell anyone anything you see in here.

- Okay? - Okay.

- You ready? - Uh-huh.

What about... this guy?

Oh! Fletcher. He's a pirate, so I don't see him very often.

- A pirate? - I'm kidding. He's not a pirate.

But he does have a boat, has a pet bird, so...

- So pretty close. - (both laughing)

Your life looks so amazing.

Uh, so does yours.

Which part? The stuff I'm not allowed to do?

The stuff I'm not allowed to eat? Or the stuff I'm not allowed to wear?

- Is it that bad? - It'll be better with you here.

- We'll hang out. - It'll be fun!

Yeah.

Maybe not Mardi-Gras-music-festival fun,

but we can get pizza!

Well, sometimes.

When Dad's in charge.

You know what? I'm already having fun.

You made me a bracelet. I like your friends.

I like your room.

Ooh, this guy looks like fun.

- Jonah Beck. - You didn't see that.

- Oh, no? - And I have homework.

- Okay, cool. Andi, calm down. - Yeah, I'm calm! Okay?

Okay, okay. I'll go unpack.

- Yeah, you should do that. - Enjoy your picture of Jonah Beck.

Stop!

Forgot my box.

Right.

- Bye. - (door closes)

You didn't have to get me a birthday present.

Well, I'm not sure it's gonna top what Mom got you,

The Unabridged History of Math.

Oh, no, wait. It is gonna top that.

Here it comes.

It's Jonah Beck.

What did you do? What's going on?

He's gonna teach you how to play Frisbee.

I got you a lesson, that's your present.

- No. No. - Yeah! Yeah.

- No. - Just relax.

- No. - Great.

Just like that, except the exact opposite. Cool, you're great.

- Hi, you're Jonah? - Yep.

I'm Bex, and this is your student, Andi.
