Shook

Two seconds!

(MUSIC CONTINUES ON HEADPHONES)

All right, I picked up a twelve-hour shift,

so I'll be home late. But after school, there's...

No milling about.

As soon as you get home, the safeword is...

Banana split.

And don't forget, we'd all be worse...

Without a nurse. - Mm-hmm. You got it, girls.

I don't know, Fredgy.

There's just too much going on to join the dance team.

It's basically screaming your name.

"Mia! The dance team really wants to see ya!"

We've talked about this, Fredgy.

Yes, but no one will know you're the next Beyoncé...

- Or Misty Copeland. - Either way,

no one will know anything if you only dance in your house

- for your little sister. - Skylar!

Thank you. Another reason I can't try out.

I'll pick her up after school. Done!

Aunt Fredge is here. Aunt Fredge is ready.

Aunt Fredge is... dancing!

Oh, okay. Okay!

I doubt I'll even make it, though.

Okay, I think what you're trying to do is this.

You know there's only one open spot, right?

Oh, um, well, it's an honor

to just write my name on the list.

- She's been practicing. - I saw.

Can't wait to see more at tryouts.

- Hmm. - Come on.

Well, um, now I am definitely not trying out.

Did you just hear how she said, "I saw"?

"I saw."

"Okay."

Okay, every time I've seen you perform,

you know what I'm thinking?

"That girl is the happiest girl in the world."

But I haven't performed in, like, a year.

And you saw what just happened.

I... I froze.

It'll pass. I promise.

I am fashion. You are dance.

It's just how this world works.

But I don't have my lucky shoes for auditions.

And I don't have anything to wear.

Look who you're talking to.

I'd say good luck, but we all know

you never wish a dancer good luck.

First up...

Mia Brooks?

You're up next.

Let's start again.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming today.

This team is the first step in the dance number

that we like to call life...

the step that will launch your entire career as a dancer,

so it's going to be a serious time commitment.

We've talked it over,

and we're excited

to offer the spot to...

Mia Brooks.

So?

I made the team.

Yes! Yes, yes!

Okay, you need to work on your happy face.

It looks a little too much like your disappointed face.

Well, Liberty said that they sometimes

do morning and evening rehearsals.

- Mm-hmm. - Like, rehearsals at night.

And my mom is working non-stop,

and so I kind of have to stay around for Sky.

Fam comes first, I hear you,

but you have been at home

all day every day for the last year.

You have to get out at some point.

Mia time awaits! See what I did there?

I used your name as a play on "me time."

Yes, Fredge, I see.

- Okay. - Yes!

I'll talk to my mom tonight. Um, but I got to go.

It's... it's pizza Friday.

Oh, you're right.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON HEADPHONES)

Pizza Friday!

That's the it's time for dinner dribble.

Now, your turn.

Where's the ranch?

- Skylar! - You're the one

who left an open bottle of dressing on the table.

- Go grab some paper towels. - What can't you?

Fine. I guess I'll just do everything around here, then.

Don't be so dramatic. You made us pizza from a box.

How about saying thank you

for that delicious pizza from a box?

Can you just stop that for one second?

Stop telling me what to do.

I'm later than late, I know.

How was everyone's day?

Uh-oh. What did I miss?

We're excited...

to offer the spot to...

...Mia Brooks.

I know there have been some changes around here recently,

but we have never and will never slam doors

in this house, you hear me?

- Hey. - Yes.

- I'm sorry. Mom!

- Mom! - Just a minute.

Okay. This is the part where you tell me what's going on.

Um, I made the dance team.

I didn't even know you tried out!

Why didn't you tell me?

Maybe because it costs, like, $200.

- Oh. - And by 200, I mean 800.

- Oh, my God. - Mom!

I said, just a minute.

Mia, you know if we could afford it...

Yes, I know. I'm sorry, I don't even know

why I said anything.

I'm sorry, Mia.

It won't always be like this, okay?

I promise.

Um, well, can I spend the night at Fredgy's?

Sometimes she makes me entertain her

while she cleans her room.

Is it wrong to charge $800 for that?

That's fine.

You just be back here first thing in the morning,

- okay, young lady? Mom!

I'm coming! I am coming. Oh, gosh.

Yes, child.

- (MUTED CHATTER) - I'm going now.

I don't see how you're going to do that there.

You told your mom about the dance team

and she kicked you out.

I've always dreamt of you moving in here,

but not under these circumstances.

Ha-ha. I mean, you said

I should get out of my house more,

so could I stay in at yours?

Yeah.
