♪ [OPENING THEME MUSIC] ♪

-This is Radio Rebel live from the underground.

You don't know who I am...

but I know who you are... because I'm one of you.

Report cards came out today. I got a minus in participation.

But you can't give me a minus for who I am,

so since grades are being handed out I think I'll give all of us at Lincoln Bay High

an F for labeling each other.

Jocks, outcasts, dorks, queen bees and their fellow pops

...and newborn pops.

Guys, these are all labels, not who we really are.

Once upon a time being different was a good thing.

Now those differences just divide us.

You deserve to embrace your awesomeness, stand up for who you are.

Reject the status quo. I dare you.

- Okay, last night Radio Rebel-- - was awesome?

- As usual! Reject the status quo is my new life motto.

- Mmm... - She's so inspiring, so herself.

- I wish I could be more like her.

[GASP] - You should talk to your step-dad!

- What? Why?

- Uh, he runs Slam FM, the biggest radio station in Seattle.

Maybe he could give you an internship.

That'd be a confidence booster right?

- Are you kidding me. He's been married to my Mom for what? 2 months?

He probably thinks I'm a total step-freak.

I freak out when he asks what kind of cereal I want. - Mmhmm.

- I just wish I could talk to everyone the way I talk to you.

Guess that's why you're my BFF.

- Uhm, B-F-F-T-L-E-W-E

Best Friends For Totally Like Ever Without Exception.

- Catchy. - [GASP] You need a relaxation technique.

When I'm memorizing lines for drama I imagine I'm breathing in the words.

- Audrey, what does that even mean?

- [CLEARS THROAT] You need to breathe ...your words.

- How can you even breathe at a time like this.

- Problem Barry?

- Last night Radio Rebel revealed the biggest clue yet about her identity...

She goes to our school.

- She mentioned it at minute 14:30 in Tuesday night's podcast.

- Wow, obsessed much Larry?

- Obsessed? Puh-lease! I would hardly describe myself as obsessive.

[PAPER SOUND] [LAUGHS]

[CLEANING SOUNDS]

What? It's flu season.

So exciting! Someone on the radio who's actually one of us.

- God. She could be that girl, or...

or her, or her, or that girl, that girl.

- No, no that girl's too tall.

Radio Rebel's voice sounds like 5'6 to me...

and her hair is reddish... like Tara's.

- Nooooo. She's nothing like Tara.

- Hey. What's that supposed to mean?

- Oh we, we love you, but...

you're nothing like Radio Rebel who's definitely a blonde.

- And you know this how?

- Radio Rebel is my soul mate.

We're connected. For example, I also got a minus in participation.

- How can that be? You never shut up.

- [LAUGHS] Exactly.

[RADIO TOY SOUNDS]

[LAUGHTER]

- Stacy that outfit is amazing.

- Hi Stacy.

- Honestly, it's a relief that we broke up.

The whole long distance relationship thing is just lame.

- Well, I'm glad you've moved on because you've already had 3 formal asks to prom!

Alan Ackerman--

- Too short, think of the pictures.

- Okay, how about Jamie Wordle?

- Have you ever noticed how pointy his head is? It's like a triangle!

- Guys, how do we reject the status quo when the status quo is... status quo?

- Like Radio Rebel said, be ourselves.

- Audrey.

- So, next Erin Brooks is officially campaigning for prom queen.

I just confirmed it on her fan page.

- Whatever. No competition there.

Why don't I have a fan page?

- I'll get right on it.

- Hi Stacy. How's it going?

[LAUGH] - This is what I was talking about.

Everyone thinks they can just talk to us cause of that eternally lame radio babble.

-Methinks she protests too much.

- Yeah, wethinks...

Wait, what do wethinks?

- That maybe she's Radio Rebel.

-Huh. Please. Like I would ever encourage people like you to talk to us.

- Ah ha! So you admit you listen to her.

- [SIGHS]

- This one's staring at me. Make it stop.

- Please don't stand so close to us.

- You and I aren't any different. Like Radio Rebel said--

- No words. You don't think we're different? Watch and learn.

Principal Moreno.

- Stacy...

Is everything alright over here?

- Actually, no.

Audrey was trying to get me to listen to some podcast in class.

Of course I said no-- - What? No. I mean I never--

- You know that there's an anti-distraction policy.

Let me see your bag. [SIGHS]

- But I wasn't even listening to it.

[WHINEY VOICE] - Well now you can't, can you?

You too young lady, hand it over.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention Stacy.

- Get it now?

Your little DJ hero doesn't know what she's talking about.

Oh? Does her royal shyness want to say something?

- I--

- Huh?--

- I--

- I thought not.

- Bye girls.

- Greetings to our loyal fans.

This is Gabe and Gavin or as you know us the G's

and that's to say thank you for voting for us to play at your prom.

We'll make sure it totally rocks!

- Well, well, well look who it is. Lincoln Bay's own internet sensation.

- Hey Stacy.

- Gavin, and Gavin's camera...

I heard you guys are playing prom. Pretty sweet.

- Byyye.

- Dude, you are in!

- What do you mean?

- Stacy and her college boyfriend just called it quits,

which means as of right now she doesn't have a prom date.

- I can't ask her to prom.

[LAUGHS] - Didn't you see that?

[IN HIGH PITCHED VOICE] Hi Gavin.

- It's the band, man. We're getting some heat.

A little attention from the ladies. Your stock is on the rise and Stacy's noticing.

- Well, what would I even say?

- Listen to me, okay, focus. Eye of the Tiger, Don't Stop Believing. We are the Champions.

- Are you just quoting song titles?

- This is your chance man, seize the moment.

Our fan base is expanding to other schools, the city--

- I still feel like that awkward kid with the guitar just hanging out in your garage.

- Forget that now! Now you're Gavin ...of the G's.

We're going all the way baby, recording contracts, sold out stadiums, G's for life?

- G's for life! [IN UNISON] - Ow!

[BELL RINGS]

- Alright, everybody, today we are going to be working on a project with Mr. Saul's drama class.

Oh! Here they are now. Come on in people please. Pick a seat, quickly.

- This is so exciting.

- Gavin, this seat is free.

[MUSIC]

- I will be pairing you all up, and...

- What is Gavin doing here?

- Uh, he's in drama?

You know you could talk to him.

You've had a crush on him since like the first Harry Potter movie.

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, he's a newborn pop, okay totally wrong social bracket.

The best thing for me is to just avoid him all together.

- [SIGHS] Gavin's not elitist like that. Ask yourself.

What would Radio Rebel do?

- You will be translating a scene from Shakespeare...

- Hey, it's good that we're in class together now.

Saves me from having to find you later.

- Oh? And why would you have to find me?

- Cus I want to ask you something... about prom?

- I need a volunteer.

Who would like to write a scene suggestion on the b--

- [SHOES RUNNING] - oard.

[MARKER SQUEAKING]

[THROAT CLEARING]

- Oh. Did you want to pick a volunteer?

I got excited!

[LAUGHTER]

- Drama is my life. Okay, who wants to write a suggestion?

Let's see hands people!

- Okay hands, hands, ha--Tara!

[MENACING MUSIC] How about you?

Come on up!

- You can do it. Just don't make eye contact.

[MUSIC]

[MARKER SQUEAKING]

[CLAPPING MUSIC]

- I was thinking maybe we could--

[STUMBLING SOUND]

- Hello! Uh walk much?

- Uh.

[HEAD BANGING SOUNDS] [GASPING]

- Ohh. [LAUGHTER]

- Okay, people. Settle, settle...

I still need a volunteer.

- Tara, are you alright? - Ohhhh. - You okay?

[MUSIC]

- Hey Delilah. Look at this. County Q called me.

She told me I had to check out this new podcast girl.

She's, she's really something special.

- That's for my pedicure. - Hmm--

- That was the latest single from You-First! But who are you exactly?

I think we're always juggling a bunch of different you's...

like when you're with your friends.

Sometimes you're the funny one, or the loud one--

- N-n-no. No. No. [ARUGING]

- The thoughtful one...

- How about with someone you like?

Which you shows up then?

I don't even know who to be when I see the guy I'm crushing on,

which is probably why I never talk to him.

Is it just me or do you feel like you're 17 different people too?

- Yes, I do. I totally feel that way! - This song goes out

to all my fellow Lincoln Bayers-- - She's amazing right? - Right.

- This is exactly what Slam FM needs, a fresh new vibe to get us out of this rating slump.

- [GASPS]

You need to ask Tara what she thinks.

It could be a bonding moment!

- Yeah. I mean, I could, I could do that.

Be a kind of bonding thing. Step-Daughter, Step-Father... - Mmhmm.

- Stop eating my foot fruit.

- Alright well, I'll do that. I will, I'll talk to her, or not at all.

- You can do it! - It'll be a bonding thing.

- Yeah!

- Yeah.

[MUSIC] [KNOCK ON DOOR]

[DOOR OPENS]

- Hey! - Rob.

...What are you doing here?

- I live here.

- Okay. Thanks for stopping by.

- So what do you think of Radio Rebel?

- What? Why?

- I just, I just want to get your take on her. That's all.

- She's great. Bye now.

You know what? I, I knew that you'd think so.

I really did, you know? [DOOR SHUTS]

We have so much in common, you know?

- Yeah. Like we're both super busy.

- Listen, I look, I know that this is a really difficult transition for you...

and with your dad working in Taiwan, and your Mom and I,

and I just want you to know that you, you have a friend here.

- It's fine. I'm fine, really. Y--

- So this is good right? I mean here we are, we're, we're hanging out,

and we're listening to Radio Rebel, and together.

- Together.

- That's weird.

I'm not hearing anything.

What happened the music just stopped. Yours stop?

[SIGHS] - Huh. where'd she go?

- And that rounds off the final set for my favorite local band.

Now here's an extra long track just for you guys. I hope you dig it.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

- You're Radio Rebel?

- That depends. Am I in trouble?

- No. No, of course not.

Just I don't know how you're doing that. I mean you're so shy.

- I am, but she's not.

I don't know. Just works.

- I can't believe it. I mean, oh, I love it, I just I can't believe it.

We're gonna take Slam FM to the next level!

- I'm, I'm sorry. We?

- Yeah. I, you are gonna be Slam FM's next big thing.

You're hired. That's what you are. You're hired. Ha! [DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

- I. Uh. [DOOR KNOCKING AND OPENS] [EXCITED SQUEALING]

- Oh, I just happened to be eavesdropping. I hope you don't mind.

- [SIGHS] - O-M-G my baby is gonna take Slam to the next level. Ahh!

[SQUEALING]

[SIGHS]

What's the matter?

- What if I mess it up?

- Oh, honey... You have to take risks.

Like I always thought Chartreuse was a bad color for me,

and then I tried it, and now it's my trademark.

How do you know something isn't fabu if you never try it, right? [GIGGLES]

[SIGHS] [BELL RINGS]

- Look out, you're in the 12th night group with Stacy and Gavin.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

- No. no. no. No, I can't.

- Talk to him. He's just a person.

- Go on. Go. Do it.

- Hey.

Cool shirt!

I love that band!

You-First rules!

The G's can only dream of being that good some day.

- The G's are totally as good as You-First.

- Really?

- Okay! Here's our scene.

Tara is Viola. Now Tara this role does require both walking and talking. Think you can manage?

Just kidding. You know I love you. Okay and Gavin you're Orsino.

- Wait. What about you?

- Brower has me directing, and we've got a lot of work to do.

- If you like You-First, you should check out Red Letter Day. You ever heard of them?

- Uh-uh, no band talk right now, Gav.

Sorry, but I don't want anyone to think I'm favoring you just cus I'm your prom date.

Speaking of, we need to work on your Prom King campaign.

[WHISTLE] - Of course he's taking Stacy to prom.

- Uh, look at least you talked to him.

For you that's major progress.

- I barely got 2 words out.

- Come to my house tonight.

We'll do yoga. I'll teach you the extended hyena pose I invented,

and we'll listen to Radio Rebel. - I can't.

- What do you mean? It's Radio Rebel's first show on Slam FM.

Do you realize how epic that is?

I mean, she was popular before,

but now it's like the whole world will be listening, including us.

- I have plans. - What plans?

- Family plans.

- You are the worst liar.

You sound just like you did when you said you liked that haircut I got at the mall.

- It wasn't that bad.

- It was mullet adjacent.

Tell me what you're hiding or I'll start screaming in 3 seconds.

- What? - 1--

- Audrey no, no, no. - 2--

- Audrey-- [LOUD SCREAMING]

Well?

- ...I'm sorry. I can't tell you.

- I thought I was your BFFTLE.

- Without exception.

- Then why don't you trust me?

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

[CLAPPING MUSIC]

- Gavin. 3 o'clock.

- Your 3 o'clock or my 3 o'clock.

- We have the same 3 o'clock.

Ohhh. He's coming over here. What do we do?

- For the record, this why you don't ice your friends out.

Talk to him!

- Hey Tara, what's up?

[SIGH]

So, do you want to run lines on the weekend?

[SILENCE]

Or we can mime the lines if you're not feeling particularly talky?

- Mime, talky? I'm gonna go. Me n-now.

- Uhm, okay.

- Tara.

[LAUGHTER] - Free meals. - Score.

[MUSIC]

- Hey Seattle. You're listening to Slam FM.

- I want Radio Rebel ads in every major social network.

Just blast the internet. Updates every hour. We want to blanket the market.

Good. Alright. Bye. [PHONE BEEP]

So I was talking to your Mom about keeping Radio Rebel on the QT and I think it's a good idea.

You know, I don't want you to talk to anybody about it.

Radio Rebel is the shot in the arm that Slam FM needs.

Since the last that I produced with Snazzy Dog crashed and burned, there's a lot hinging on this right?

Including my job, no pressure, right?

So your show's gonna run 7 PM Monday to Friday, since that was the time you broadcast from your room,

and you'll be taking over from DJ Funky Mac

who is now moving to Sunday night.

Alright, so let's show you the booth.

Tara?

[DOOR SLAMS]

- Hey Tara! Remember me? Kimmy Q. We met at the Slam Christmas Party.

Girl, when Rob told me you were Radio Rebel, this was my face?

Wha--?

Cus, I, I thought you were just this little shy thing,

but you are all kinds of amazing.

You are fierce.

I just can't wait to see what you got going for the--

Tara?

Are you okay?

- I can't even speak to Gavin without freezing.

How am I supposed to speak to all of Seattle?

- It's no different than recording in your bedroom.

- Yes it is.

- In my bedroom, I could pretend that nobody's listening, but right now I know that everybody's listening,

and Rob's putting all this pressure on it, and Mom wants it to be my chartreuse moment, and

I don't even like chartreuse. I don't even know what chartreuse is.

- Tara, come out where I can see you.

Everybody gets nervous.

It's totally normal.

Just consider me like your best friend at Slam.

Catch your breath.

Then we'll go out together, okay?

[DOOR OPENS] Alright.

- Is this whole booth all for me?

- We call this the live room, because when that red light is on you're live.

If you want to move around use this headset so we don't miss anything.

There's your vocal masking button.

You already know about that.

And song selection's up to you.

Alright?

- There's like 20,000 songs here.

- You got some time before you go on, if you want to practice, get comfortable.

- Practice. Right, okay, uhm.

Maybe I should play a song just to make sure I know how to--

[RAP MUSIC BEGINS AND SQUEALS]

No, no, no. Bad practice, bad practice.

- Don't worry about it. You'll be fine, and I'm right next door if you need me.

Just pretend you're in your bedroom.

You're on in 15.

14, 13. 12. 11. 10,

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3,

- You're listening to Slam FM. This is the Radio Rebel show.

- This is Radio Rebel live from Slam FM. Listen, I gotta confess moving the show from my bedroom

to Slam studios was a bit terrifying, but life is all about change right?

Maybe some people just want to label you as one thing, compartmentalize you and walk away.

We don't have to let that stop us from becoming who we want to be.

Like that kid with the remote control car. Maybe he's gonna grow up to invent the first all green rocket ship.

Or the girl who gets everyone carnations on Valentine's Day, just so no one feels left out.

She'll grow up to be President.

Guys, if we just drops the labels and cliques--

Yean, yeah-- Record.

- We have no idea what we're capable of.

- No! Uh!

- If you're with me on this, wear red tomorrow.

It'll be like saying that despite our difference, we're in this together.

This next song is from Red Letter Day.

[MUSIC]

- Ahem. Do you like my glasses?

- You have freakishly good vision.

- Fashion shouldn't be functional.

Do you know why I picked red rims? I assume you do because of your red shirt.

- I can't believe all these people are wearing red just cus Radio Rebel said to.

How cool is that?

- So you did listen to Radio Rebel last night.

What happened to your mystery plans?

- Can you guys tell us apart?

- You guys are fraternal, not identical, oh.

[ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS]

- Hey. We just ran a recording of Radio Rebel's show through a voice analysis app.

We're closer than ever to uncovering her true identity.

- Picture it. Local twins crack Radio Rebel's ID.

- Soon, I'll be able to profess my undying love.

- We'll be famous.

We could, we could get a reward, or at least our own reality TV Show.

- Where she and I could be married live on TV.

Tara, since your Step-Dad runs Slam maybe you could help us out.

- Oh. I, I'm not allowed to go up to Slam FM, while uhm, she's there

to keep the mystery mysterious.

- The truth is Tara doesn't have time to do friend related things.

- Audrey. Audrey. Audrey!

- What?

Uh, you know what. Forget it. I'm leaving.

- No, no, no.

[SLAMS]

I'm about to tell you something so Top Secret you have to promise never to repeat it to anyone.

- I won't tell anyone, I swear.

[BREATHES HEAVY] You can say it.

- [COUGHING] I'm Radio Rebel.

- Tara, you have to breathe your words.

- [MUTTERING WITH TEETH TOGETHER] I'm Radio Rebel.

- Louder. Come on. Breathe the words, breathe them.

- [CLEARS THROAT]

I'm Radio Rebel.

- Oh. I don't believe you.

- If you're like me and believe music can change the world one track at a time,

you're gonna love this track from my new favorite band.

- Wow. I can't believe she's you. I, you're her!

I mean you're the last person I'd expect to be Radio Rebel, Tara.

[LAUGHS] It's been driving me crazy not telling you,

and of course I've been wanting to hang out, but I've been doing my show.

Here's the thing you can't tell anyone. Not even Larry and Barry,

because Slam wants to keep it this big secret and, so do I.

[EXCITED LAUGHTER]

- Remember Twelfth Night is all about mistaken identity.

Tara, you character has a crush on Gavin's character, but she's not even from law or whatever,

so she's disguised as a guy, and Gavin's character doesn't know you like him.

So, you're in agony. I need to see real pain.

Let's do the end again!

And, act!

- My sister likes this guy, and, by my sister, I, I mean... my sister,

not me at all, cus look at my pants, see I'm totally a dude.

- Does this guy like her too?

- That's the tragic part. She hasn't told him how she feels, so...

she's not sure if he feels the same way.

- What's she waiting for?

- For him to make the first move, but tell me,

if she never confesses her love does that make her love any less real?

- Okay! Some of that worked... and some of it didn't!

There's a fine line between pain and constipation.

Let's take 5.

[DROPPING SOUND]

- Oh you dropped--

- Oh, thanks.

- Is this a demo of the G's?

- Yeah! You know, trying out a few new things.

Actually, I'd love to try out some more new stuff to be honest, like I got the song--

- We're back! Focus! Let's go, come on get up! Get up!

Come on! Go, go go, get in positions.

Uhm, uh, let's try it with Tara way over here. Yeah. Mmhmm.

Perfect. Perfect.

I... I love it.

- Hey, hold on. Tara, did you want to say something?

- She's fine. Action!

- Cut. Tara. You listen to Radio Rebel right?

You were wearing red yesterday so I figured.

Rebel's right.

Life's about taking risks, making changes.

So, go ahead. Say what you feel.

- Well, it's just that this scene is about...

us falling for each other even though we don't know it yet, and--

- and blocking like this feels weird right?

- Right, exactly.

Yeah I mean the audience is supposed to get what we're feeling

from what we're not saying, and it only works if we're closer.

- Yeah.

Yeah. I like that better too.

- Okay. We clearly need extra rehearsal. My place, tonight at 7.

- Oh. I, I can't tonight. There's...

Wednesday's mandatory family dinner...

with my... family... dinner.

- Fine. Whatever. Lunch tomorrow.

Everybody's a director now!

- Hey. Good job!

Okay.

- You people at Lincoln Bay High killed it with the red yesterday.

I noticed one of you wearing these red specs that were the epitome of cool,

but can we talk about what's not cool for a second.

Now the school keeps confiscating our stuff.

I mean, I've lost 2 sets of headphones and an mp3 player just this term alone.

Although, I did notice that some of us seem to be exempt from this little...

stuff snatching epidemic.

Funny how that works, huh?

Guys it's not just our playlists and players we're being deprived of you know?

Music is the soundtrack to our lives.

It's, it's where we've been and where we're going and everywhere in between.

Our music is who we are.

Are we gonna let someone just snatch that away from us...

or are we gonna change the game?

Here's a new song about, uh, trying things you never thought you could.

Look, I've been trying to do a bunch of new things lately,

and this song severely inspires me, so check it out.

Vibe it. Really, really dig on it, and then, remember that feeling.

Tomorrow at 8 AM, stop what you're doing, get up and dance, just express yourself, let yourself out.

This is "Turn it All Around" by the G's.

[MUSIC]

[CROWD CHEERING]

- You're all gonna get in so much trouble for this!

Radio Rebel doesn't tell me when to dance. - Okay.

- Time to take your own advice?

[SHOUTS] [MUSIC]

- This is a place of learning, not dancing.

Anyone listening to Radio Rebel during school will be suspended.

And Radio Rebel, I advise you to turn yourself in now

or your future will be radio silence.

Nice!

- Hey, Tara.

Can I talk to you?

- Uh. Oh!

- Hmph!

- Yeah...

- It's about our song.

- We have a, we have a song?

- The one Radio Rebel played last night.

- Oh.

- At first... I couldn't believe that she likes our music.

Then I wondered, how'd she get our demo?

Got anything you want to confess?

- I--

- It's you, isn't it?

- It's me? What's me?

- You're the one.

- Which one of the, one of the--

- You're the one who gave the CD...

to your Step-Dad to give to Radio Rebel.

- Yes. - Thank You!

- That's the one I, yes, yes, that's I'm the one,

I'm the one with the I like your, that's a great song--

- Thanks, but, doesn't really feel like my voice.

It's like people are hearing me, but they're not hearing me.

That sounded crazy didn't it?

- Not at all. I totally get you.

- Well. Thanks again.

- Oh yeah. - Radio Rebel is amazing.

- She's really... neat.

- She gets caught in my head, you know?

It's like I'd be able to recognize her on the street

just from how well I know her from her show.

- Well that, that'd be something.

- Yeah. Well. See you later Tara.

- Bye Gavin.

[MUSIC]

- You're listening to Slam FM.

- That's her. I know it. I can tell.

- Radio Rebel is an old guy with a beard?

- You ever hear of disguise, Barry?

[DOOR OPENS]

[CHATTER] [GARBAGE BEING THROWN OUT]

- Seattle's hottest DJ the Radio Rebel Show-- [DJ'S VOICE FADES OUT]

[BLIND OPENS] - Ah!!

Did you see the posters?

- I can't even hear you!

- Did you see the posters?

- Uh, hard to miss. They're everywhere.

My mom just called and said she saw me on the bus.

I was like no, I'm at Slam. She was like no, no, no you're on the bus, of the side of it.

- They are spending money on marketing for you

which means the ratings must be up. You're famous.

- No, I'm not. No, Radio Rebel is.

[SIGHS] Even Gavin has a thing for her.

- That's good. We like Gavin, right.

- Yes we do, and it was hard enough when I had just Stacy to deal with.

Now, I'm competing with myself for his attention, and I appear to be losing.

- What? Baby, you've got fan clubs at every school in Seattle.

I mean look at all the petitions.

"We want a dance break every day."

"We want more Radio Rebel."

"Don't take our music away."

- Wait, I have a really good idea.

Okay, this is what we're gonna do. [BELL RINGS]

- What is going on?

- Well, Moreno can't complain about us disrupting class time, because it's lunch.

- This was your idea.

[SQUEALS] It's brill. [GIGGLES]

[MUSIC] [CHEERS]

- Hey, hey, hey, Lincoln Bay this is Cami Q coming at you live.

You all feeling good today?

[CHEERS]

[CLAPPING]

- Alright, listen up! I got a special message

from our good friend Radio Rebel.

- This is Radio Rebel coming at you with a little lunch time surprise--

- That girl invaded our airwaves. Does she have to ruin my lunch to?

- Now, a lot of you guys have IMed and texted me about the powers at be taking away our music...

and how it feels like one of ourselves is being taken away.

[CROWD BOOS]

- That's not gonna make us better students.

[UNISON] - Woah!

- And you can't punish someone for relaxing during their down time...

like Principal Moreno, you stole our music and I'm giving it back.

Text in requests. Lunch time is our time.

[CROWD CHEEERS]

[MUSIC]

- You're on school property!

- Actually, uh, beyond this point is city property.

Did you want to see my permit?

- Move. Move. Move.

- This Radio hor-Rebel has got to go.

- It's kind of a fun dance.

- No, it's not. Stop that!

Go vote for me for Prom Queen again. Go!

[MUSIC]

- Wooh!

[LAUGHTER]

- Mine!

[MUSIC]

[BELL RINGS]

- Can I have your attention please?

I want you all to know

that this lunch time fiasco was a, fiasco.

It is time for a certain DJ's reign of rebellion to come to an end.

Anyone with any information regarding the identity of this Radio Rebel

is to report it to me immediately

or risk facing disciplinary actions themselves.

Now get to class.

- Principal Moreno, I just want to say that I could not agree with you more.

I, for one, thought the display at lunch was disgusting.

Radio Dribble should pay for playing a stunt like that.

- Oh. Don't worry Stacy. Disruptions like today are temporary,

but I can enforce disciplinary measures that can last forever.

- Like diamonds and rice cakes?

- Shh! No words.

- You mean you can expel Radio Rebel?

- Well, her actions were in direct defiance of my policies,

so there will be consequences.

- All I can think about now is rice cakes. - Go.

[THE G'S SINGING]

- Hey. Sorry guys, I was thinking

[SINGING CONTINUES] [AMP SOUNDS] - What are you doing?

- Sorry, but I think we can do better than this.

You know, actually say something with our music,

something meaningful, relatable. I was listening to Radio Rebel--

- Oh Gavin, uhm, one you don't stop in the middle of a song man okay?

And two, our fans don't want a message, they want a party.

You want meaningful, go write a poem. Stick with what's working, alright?

- From the top.

- Since when do our fans determine what we play?

- It's the price of fame my friend.

- 1, 2, 3-- [AMP SOUNDS]

Now that we've got a following,

I think we could finally afford to take some risks and express ourselves creatively.

- Uh, negative. We're giving them what they want, alright?

No more, no less. K?

- ...Okay.

- G's for life?

- Sure. G's for life.

- Thatta boy. Alright from the top boys.

[MUSIC]

- If you don't go to Lincoln Bay High you missed out on a rock star day.

I've never seen so many people dancing.

So my listeners in Hoover High were so inspired by what went down at Lincoln Bay

they had a full on flash mob at lunch today.

[LAUGHS] That rocks. You guys totally need to post a video on my webpage stat.

I heard the mathletes and the water polo team at Benson High

just formed a Pops, Non-Pops Alliance Club.

You guys are my heroes,

and I got a call today from a guy who graduated High School 20 years ago.

He said this show inspired him to stand up to his boss and get the raise he deserved.

See what I mean?

Never too late to make a difference guys.

[MUSIC]

- Tara, uh, I have news, but we can't talk here. - What?

- Scuse me, could you give us a minute?

- Uh, but this is my office.

- So, guess who got nominated for Prom Queen?

- Stacy?

- You did! Well, not you. Radio Rebel. [EXCITED SIGH]

- This is horrible!

The whole point of Radio Rebel is that she's anonymous, remember?

What's gonna happen if she wins? Who's gonna go up there and accept the crown?

I could get expelled. I have to put a stop to this.

- Are you crazy? You can't quit now.

[DOOR OPENS]

Not now Mr. Margowsky.

- But I need the broom.

[DOOR SHUTS]

- Audrey, I can't do this anymore.

- You can. - I can't.

- You can. - I can't.

- You can. [DOOR OPENS]

[IN UNISON] - Not now!

- I need the dustpan, too.

- Here. [SIGHS]

[DOOR SHUTS]

- You're a hero to people and that's why they nominated you.

You can't turn your back on them now.

This is your time to shine.

- What if I don't want to shine.

What if shining isn't really my thing?

- As your BFFTLEWE...

I'm legally obligated to make sure you do the show,

even if I have to drag you there.

[BELL RINGS]

- Hey, Tara, we got another demo on the way for Radio Rebel.

- Oh. I'm sure she's stoked to hear it.

- Yo, Gavin.

- Hey Gav!

- Leper, you're friends with the girl who's Dad runs Slam.

I like the way you think, bro.

- Her name's Tara.

- Who cares.

- She's actually really nice.

- Woah. Wait, Not, you're not like into her or anything are you?

Cus that would not be good for business?

- What do you mean?

- We have fans now.

Dedicated followers. Those are the kind of people that you should be spending time with.

- You don't even know her.

- Okay, I don't need to and neither do you.

Think of the band, man. Think like a rock star.

[MUSIC]

- Why did we have to park so far away?

- Because we can't risk anyone recognizing our car or us.

Wig me. - Okay.

[SPY MUSIC]

- Ugh. This cardboard is inflaming my eczema. Do you have any aloe vera?

- Will you concentrate?

- Why do you always get the cool stuff?

- Shh. Shh. Focus!

[GIGGLES]

- This location is compromised. Let's move.

[MUSIC].

- Keep it steady.

- Oh, oh, up, up, Binoculars!

- Oh, focus Larry, come on!

- Back, back, back. - You dropped this.

- Got them. Okay go.

- We gotta blend in. Blend in!

- This is where the magic happens.

[CLAPS] - Oh, so cool. - Right?

- Is this the famous Audrey Sharma?

- Me. - Nice to meet you-- - It's nice to meet you, too!

[DOOR OPENS]

- Could you girls excuse us for a moment?

[DOOR SHUTS]

- If this is about Audrey being here, she's the only person I told,

and I totally trust her, like--

- No, this is not about Audrey, this is about you.

Principal Moreno called. The lunch time dance party; that was a mistake.

She wants to expel Radio Rebel as soon as she finds out who she is.

- Well, as long as she doesn't know it's me, we shouldn't have a problem.

- Well, I can't take that chance though, can I?

- What do you mean?

- I may run Slam FM, but I'm your Step-Father first,

and it's unfortunate but this has gone too far.

- Yes, it has.

Too far to stop now.

Look, this is bigger than Slam, or Moreno, or even me.

I can't turn my back on the thousands of people who finally feel like they have a voice,

and I'm not going back to that shy, invisible girl who's afraid to even speak.

Look, I know that it's risky...

but I'm not going to back down.

- You know, I think that's the most that I've heard Tara say at one time.

You're on in 2 minutes.

[DOOR OPENS]

Good Luck, kid.

[DOOR SHUTS]

- A lot of you want to know who I am--

- Here we go, come on. Come on to Momma--

- I get that. Maybe it'd be easier if you could see my face.

That's the thing. Guys, it's, it's not about me...

it's about you, so you don't need to know my name.

[SIGHS] - You want to know who I am?

I'm somebody who's tired of being afraid.

I know how it can hold you back,

So say it out loud.

Just say what you're afraid of.

Call in. I dare you.

I guess everyone's too afraid to say what they're afraid of.

Maybe this song will inspire you, it's--

[DOOR KNOCKING] - Lines 1 through 20!

[MUSIC]

- Huh. You're on with Radio Rebel.

- One time, I accidentally swallowed a tiny piece of tin foil so I'm now afraid

if I stand too close to the microwave I'll explode.

- I'm afraid of getting cut from the football team.

- I'm afraid Larry might be losing it.

- I'm afraid I'll always be a single integer.

- I'm afraid of power outages.

- I'm afraid to do my own thing.

- I was too.

- Was?

So what changed?

- I guess I started doing this show

and I realized...

you're not as alone as you feel.

If you can remember that, it'll be easier to take a risk.

Do your own thing.

- Yeah. Thanks.

- We're gonna take some more calls in a minute.

In the meantime you guys are gonna seriously dig this next song.

[MUSIC]

- Hey, where are you going?

- Just somewhere to do something.

- I'm afraid of hyenas. Phew.

[MUSIC]

- I'm afraid to show people the real me!

- Congratulations. - What?

- Your Prom Queen nomination. It's on the school website. I am so excited.

- But what about Principal Moreno?

Mom, if Radio Rebel wins and I confess my identity I could get expelled.

- I don't care about Principal Moreno.

Honey, people nominated you for Prom Queen because you inspire then.

[SIGHS] You're standing up for your beliefs.

That's all I care about.

- I don't think I'm going to prom.

- Let me rephrase that.

All I care about is you standing up for your beliefs and prom.

You have to go. It's Prom.

- You. - No, No--

- But if I go-- - You have to--

- Mom-- - Oh, oh, you're going to prom.

Okay, excellent. Ohhh. [DOOR SHUTS]

[MICROPHONE SOUNDS]

- This is your Principal.

There's been some controversy about the identity of Radio Rebel,

and there is nothing more distracting than controversy.

Now, I gave her the chance to do the right thing

and turn herself in, but she chose to hide,

avoiding the consequences of her insubordination.

Well she can't hide forever, which is why,

until Radio Rebel's identity is revealed,

I'm cancelling the prom. - What? What?

[ANGRY CROWD SOUNDS] - For everyone! [LAUGHS]

- She can't do this!

- She can do whatever she wants. She's like the principal.

- Now do you think there's favoritism at Lincoln Bay?

- Not Moreno. Radio Feeble, she's destroying anything.

Why should we have our prom taken away just so she can make a point?

- This is bad. This is really, really bad.

[MUSIC] [PROTEST SCREAMS]

- Save our Prom! Save our Prom!

- Prom is a right of passage. If Radio Rebel is really all about the people

then she'll reveal her identity and get us our prom back!

[CROWD CHEERS]

- How are we gonna get in there?

[MUSIC]

- Who do you blame for your prom getting canceled?

- Oh look, everybody it's Radio Rebel!

[CROWD RUNS]

- Let's go.

- Go, go, go, go, go go.

- Show us who you are Radio Rebel.

- Who is it?

- I can't see.

- Oh, hurry!

Get inside.

- Are we live? [GIGGLES]

- Hi out there in Radio Land.

A lot's happened since we last hung out, huh?

Let me know what you guys think.

Call me, text me, scroll on my wall, don't be shy.

[COMPUTER BEEPING SOUND]

- You don't know how many dreams you've crushed by cancelling prom?

- I agree with the last caller. I had just gotten a date and now it's over?

- This is the last time I'm listening to you ever.

- Who do you think you are?

- You disappointed everyone.

- Do you even care about anyone but yourself?

- Do you know how many dreams you've crushed?

- I thought you were on my side.

- Dream Crusher. Dream Crusher.

- Do you know how many dreams you've crushed.

[MONTAGE OF SOUNDS] - You ruined everything.

- Okay. You guys are being honest about how you feel.

You're on Line 2.

- I've always liked you Radio Rebel.

Your playlists truly rock, but--

- Go ahead. Let it out.

- It's just...

there's a girl, I was hoping to impress that night.

- Stacy.

- Sorry about that.

- Yeah. Me too.

- Wow. Guess you guys are pretty upset. Well, uh, I'll just play some music.

[MUSIC]

This next song's for you guys. Thanks for being honest with me. Sorry I let you down.

- They're just angry. They'll, uh, they'll come around.

It doesn't take away from all the good things you've done as Radio Rebel.

- Did you hear them? They hate me.

I ruined their prom.

I feel horrible.

- You didn't ruin it. That principal did.

- I knew she was angry, but I didn't know that she was gonna do something like this.

- Man that Moreno is such a backwards thinker.

- Backwards. That's brilliant.

- What?

- Backwards. Backwards.

Oh, I thought everyone would be gone by now.

This calls for a professional.

- Somebody order the meaty subtacular?

Hello?

- Uh! - Hi, could you do us a favor?

- Uh, you want extra uh marinara?

- Oh, that would be awesome-- - Audrey

- And focusing. I am the hyena.

- You see those girls out there?

We need to get out of here without any of them seeing us.

- You can count on me.

- I'm just sad the world will be deprived of me in my prom dress.

It's a strapless number. It's oh-so chique. It's a turkey on rye?

[MUSIC]

- Hello, Seattle!

- Care to comment on Radio Rebel?

- Yes, I would! You're listening to DJ Dancing Sandwich.

That turn tables spinning in a funky groover.

[MUSIC] - Dance, Dancing Sandwich!

- Wooee! Woo!

- When I'm here, I got to move, I got to groover.

[MUSIC]

- Would you get back down. You're blowing our cover Larry.

- I can't do it man. I think I felt a human hand!

- That was my hand Larry!

- Ahhh!

[FALLING SOUNDS]

- Good Morning Lincoln Bay High School.

This is Cami Q from Slam FM bringing you a special message from--

- Radio Rebel here, and you guys really unleashed your fury about the prom drama,

and I want you to know you've totally been heard.

Cancelling prom was monumentally unfair, [CROWD SOUNDS]

but blaming Moreno isn't gonna solve anything.

I want to do something about it, and so does Slam,

which is why we're giving you all what you want: your prom back!

[MUSIC]

Slam FM is throwing it's first ever Morp,

that's prom spelled backwards because we're turning prom upside down.

Tickets are free and everyone is invited,

so don't worry about finding a date, or spending your college savings on a dress, and

a tux, and a limo. Just come as you are cus that's the way we like you.

- Gotcha!

[DOOR SHUTS]

- It's just ridiculous. Morp? Whoever heard of a Morp.

- That's the whole point, I think, to do something totally different. It could be great.

- You know Gavin? I thought you would have been more upset about prom being cancelled..

considering we were going together..

- Well, yeah, but we can still go to Morp right?

- It's not the same. I mean no limos, no dresses. What is the point?

- To come as you are. Be yourself.

- What about Prom King and Queen?

People were nominated.

Somebody has to be crowned. It's like law.

- Why don't you call Radio Rebel and tell her that?

I'm sure she'd love to hear from her number 1 fan. - Ha!

- We need to rehearse. I'm not going to fail this assignment

because you two have zero work ethic.

[BELL RING] - I think we're in trouble. [LAUGHING]

- So, I've been getting a billion questions about the Morp,

which rules cus you all seem stoked to go, which is the whole point right?

A party where everyone feels like royalty?

Then again, maybe should crown a Morp King and Queen.

I mean after all, people were nominated.

Look, if that's what you guys want, that's what we'll do. Morp is all yours,

so make sure to vote for your favorite Morp King and Queen.

Make your voices heard... especially my number 1 fan. - What?

[CAR ACCELERATION] [DOORBELL]

- Hi. Is Tara home?

- Uh, sorry sweetie, she's not here.

- Hmm. I'm in her English class. We're supposed to study tonight.

Do you know where she is?

- Afraid not. I'm just here trying this new experimental cuticle rejuvenation technique.

Do you want to try?

- No. Thanks. Uh, do you know when Tara might be back?

- Sorry sweetie, I don't. I'll tell her you stopped by.

- Ta-ta. [BELL RINGS]

- She was dressed as man, so we can actually start to assume-- - Right--

- I am so parched. What I wouldn't give for a smoothie right now?

How bout you Gavin? Are you ready for a break?

- Sure. Tara, do you want anything?

- No, I'm fine. Thank you though.

- So, Tara, I'm having a party at my place tonight,

and in the spirit of Radio Rebel, I'm inviting everyone.

- Hmm. - Even civilians like yourself.

- Ah gee, thanks, but I have plans.

- Really? Same plans as last night?

I went by your house. I could have sworn you said Wednesday was your mandatory family dinner night,

but your Mom had no idea where you were.

Strange, huh?

- I was, uh, library.

- You were, uh, library. Sure you were.

There's no way that you were say, DJing a radio show at that time?

- No, why would you think that?

- Radio Rebel mentioned her number 1 fan last night. That's what you called me yesterday.

- Must be a coincidence-- - Save it.

I'm watching you Tara.

- If you think that I'm Radio Rebel, why don't you just tell Principal Moreno. She already thinks you're perfect.

- Because I need proof, and tonight I will get it.

If you don't show up at my party tonight we'll both know why.

- Why do you even care?

- I'll tell you why. Votes. People are going to elect her Morp Queen because they want to find out who she is,

but if they already know, they'll vote for the girl who truly deserve it, Me!

This little DJ act is coming to an end soon.

You are my hero.

What do you think Gavin? Should we take it from the top?

- Yeah.

- The thing about your character--

[MUSIC]

- Ohhoo! A party during Radio Rebel's podcast is brilliant!

[SLAPPING SOUNDS]

Tonight the mystery ends. Whoever doesn't show up is--

- Hey-- - Hey, where were you just now?

- Park.

- Are you sure you weren't setting up a broadcast station from a remote satellite?

- You're accusing me of being Radio Rebel?

1, I've been helping you search for her this whole time, and 2, I, I'm a guy.

- Oh, ho, a perfect cover Larry if that is your real name.

[CHATTER]

- Who are you? I don't know you.

- Oh, we're biology partners. I've gone to school with you since the 1st grade.

- I didn't ask for your life story.

Thanks for coming. Have fun.

- One minute till 7.

- Hmph, and who isn't here?

[IN UNISON] - Exactly.

- Hi. Here I am.

- Hmph. So I see, but I'm still watching you.

- Go downstairs and watch her.

Go. [DOOR SHUTS] Faster.

[MUSIC] - Coming to you only on Slam FM, Seattle's hottest DJ, it's Radio Rebel.

- This is Radio Rebel coming at you live from Slam FM.

Tonight is all about you. Lines are open, you know the number.

- I'm calling into the show.

- Don't be shy. We want to hear--

- How are you here and there?--

- You're on with Radio Rebel.

- Do you know you're a hypocrite?

- Hi! What's your name caller?

- Save it. You say you're all about the people, but Morp is all about you.

Now you get to lobby for more Queen votes on the radio every night, not fair.

The other Morp queen nominees should get equal air time, meaning me.

- Uh play, play track 15.

- I totally hear you.

- You hear me. I don't think you do.

- Track 22.

[COMPUTER BEEPING SOUNDS]

- Say what you want to say.

- I think you're using subliminal brainwashing to get people to vote for you,

so I'm gonna take this opportunity to ask the school to vote for me,

Stacy for Morp Queen.

- Okay, k, play 40 next.

- Hi, what's your name caller?

- You already asked me that.

- I said play 40.

- You said 14.

- Play 33.

- Thanks for calling.

- I'm not done with you. Sorry, but we can't all be winners...

and I'm gonna win, despite the fact that I don't have an entire

radio station campaigning for me, which really makes me the underdog, and you know--

[DOOR SLAMMING]

- Pick up, pick up. - It's Tara.

- Patch me into the show.

[CROWD TALKS] - Why so quiet? Does the truth hurt?

- You want to know the truth? - Stop hogging the bathroom?

- What was that?

- Uh...I knocked over my chair, because I wanted to get close to the mic so you could hear me clearly.

- Oh, I can hear you clearly.

I can hear you very clearly.

I can hear you so clearly Radio Rebel that we could be in the same building.

- Same building? What are you crazy? What are you here at Slam Stacy?

I don't see you, or maybe you're hiding somewhere.

[DOOR OPENS AND SLAMS]

I'm just a little bit worried about you Stacy.

I'm afraid that if I beat you out for Morp Queen your fragile ego won't be able to survive.

[LAUGHTER]

- Can you hand me my jacket? - What was that?

- I'm sorry, what? - Who was that?

- That was my sound guy. We just got brand new demo in today called "My Jacket."

We could play it for you.

- I have a better idea. Why don't you come forward and stop hiding like a coward?

- Would a coward be afraid to go up against you for Morp Queen?

Cus I'm not. I'll see you there, and you'll see that I'm not afraid of anything.

Thanks for calling.

- What are you doing in my bedroom?

- I was trying to find the bathroom.

Your house is so--

- What are you really doing in here?

- Looking at your photos.

I remember you used to dress like that every day in 2nd grade.

I also remember being really jealous.

- Of what? Everyone making fun of me?

- No, how confident you were being yourself.

I didn't know people made fun of you.

Doesn't feel so go does it?

- I don't need a lesson in manners from you.

Now get out of my room!

[MUSIC]

[CHEERS] - That was amazing.

She was freeaked out. [LAUGHS]

And Gavin just smiled at you.

- Oh, I think it was more of a general smile.

- It seemed pretty specific to me.

- Hey! - Can not wait for this.

- We're the G's and this is "We So Fine."

[MUSIC]

- I can't believe there's so many non-pops in my backyard.

- It feels like they're multiplying, like cockroaches, hangers.

[MUSIC AND CHEERS]

- Ahh! Oh!!

Are you kidding me?

- I didn't do anything.

You bumped into me.

- Come to my house and you spill your drink on me.

This cost a fortune!

- It was an accident Stacy.

Audrey would never do something like that on purpose, unlike some people.

- You know what your problem is?

- You know what? I don't care what you think my problem is, keep it to yourself.

- Huh. I need a new outfit. Kim, let's go.

- I'm going. - Ugh. - Thanks for that. Uh.

I love how Radio Rebel's rubbing on you too. [LAUGHTER]

[MUSIC]

- She's playing us. I know it.

Now you just need to prove it.

- Okay, okay, you can do it. Just go over there.

- Hey.

- You guys put on a great show.

- Thanks.

But it's all Gabe. He's a good front man.

- It's not all Gabe, trust me.

- You know ever since the band took off, people assume I'm this confident guy,

but I get nervous before gigs, like really nervous.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

We're not so different, I guess, is what I'm trying to say.

- So, how do you do it?

- I try to remember I'm not as alone as I feel. Radio Rebel taught me that.

- Oh. She's a clever one.

- Yeah. She is.

- Slacker. Come help load the van.

- You should. See ya. - Bye.

- Pizza delivery incoming.

This pizza's for Cami Q.

Where is Studio 4?

Anybody here? Cami Q?

[DOOR LATCH OPENS]

- I'm sorry, I kind of lost my cool in there a bit.

- Hey, don't worry, I mean you'll get it.

Hey I'm gonna make you a DJ in no time.

DJ Momma Rebel. [LAUGHS] Yeah.

- Oh, I like the sound of that. [LAUGHS]

- I was afraid we biffed the call.

- Uh, we nearly did a couple of times.

- You gotta hand it to her. I mean Tara was right,

you really can be at two places at once.

- I'm just so glad she asked me to help.

I sometimes think that maybe she's a little embarrassed by her crazy mom.

- Are you kidding? She adores you. I mean she talks about you all the time.

- She does?

Oh. Mascara overflow. Excuse me. -Oh!

[MUSIC]

- Oh! Ah! [FALLING SOUNDS]

- Hi! Did you order the super duper cheesy pleasy breadteroni bread and terrabeefaroma hold the drama.

Great choice. Mmm. I can't get enough of this sauce, not you? Okay sorry. Bye!

Stacy! Stacy! I got it! I got it!

[FALLING SOUNDS]

- I think we're ready. Please remember your goals. Get your actor energy up.

[BREATHING SOUNDS]

- Tara, thank goodness I found you. There have been some last minute changes to the scene.

Don't worry you can handle it. - But does Gavin know?

- Gavin is the least of your worries.

- Wait, this is the Janitor's closet. - Yes.

[DOOR LOCKED]

- What? Stacy! Stacy, let me out! - Enjoy your F--

- Romeo, where are you? I mean seriously it's freezing out here.

Why can't you just stop being a Montagoo, the Crapulets are way cooler,

everybody says. My father isn't really a bad guy. He just watches too many movies.

[DOOR BANGS] - Let me out! [DOOR BANGS]

- Romeo, this whole beauty thing is really annoying.

- Dude, ready to rock out with the drama dorks?

- That's funny. Have you guys seen Tara? She's late.

- Move on already. Pay attention to Stacy.

- You're turning into a real jerk. You know that, don't you.

- Me? You're the one who needs to get his priorities straight.

- Or what? You're gonna kick me out of the band?

- Is that what you want?

- What I want is for you to drop this stupid rock star act for 5 minutes

and just try, try to be a normal person.

- Okay, I am the front man of this band. This rock star act is what put us on the map.

If you don't want to be part of that, then that's fine with us.

- What happened to G's for life?

- Hmm. Yeah. Ask yourself that.

Enjoy your solo career, Gavin.

- Thank you very much. Next up is Audrey Sharma.

[CHATTER]

- Breathe your words. Okay, go.

[CLEARS THROAT]

- Okay.

- Alas, poor spork, I used to marry.

It was a wondrous and versatile utensil, a fork and a spoon.

- Come on, come on, pick up the phone, pick up the phone, pick up the phone.

- Ohh! Spork!

- Stacy! - Ah?

- Have you seen Tara? - No!

- Seriously? Oh.

- I have no idea where she is.

I can't believe she'd do this to us, so un-pro.

- We have to tell Mrs. Brower we can't do our scene.

- No, no, no, no. Stacy DeBane is not a quitter.

I'm not gonna fail this assignment just because Tara's a no-show.

- Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to make an announcement.

Stacy DeBane will be performing in place of Tara Adams

who apparently couldn't be bothered to show up.

[BANGING ON DOOR] - Someone let me out!

- Looks like it's just you and I.

- Come on!

Thank you!

Oh! [RUNNING AND BREATHING HEAVY]

- See look at my pants. I'm a dude.

- What's she waiting for?

- I'm waiting for you to make a move,

but since you aren't going to, I'll make a move myself.

[CLAPPING]

- Bravo, Bravo!

- Okay, everybody listen, thank you very much for all of your hard work.

We appreciate it very much on this... [TEACHER VOICE FADES]

- Oh no, look...

He is so disappointed in you...

and who can blame him?

Okay, Radio Dribble... you were bad enough when you didn't talk,

but trying to destroy me on your stupid radio show.

Did you really think you'd get away with that?

- Look, you're wrong. I'm not her. If I--

- Save it! You're not her? Then explain this.

- I was afraid we biffed the call.

Tara was right, you really can be at 2 places at once.

- That doesn't prove anything.

- No? Then you won't mind if I e-mail it to the whole school and Moreno?

- What do you want?

- Morp Queen. You're gonna make sure I win or Radio Rebel is.

Tell everyone on your show to vote for me,

and if you say anything about this little private moment,

I'll tell everyone who you really are.

- Okay. I had a bad day. Kinda shook me up, made me wonder...

Am I doing the right thing? I mean is, is it worth it if I get expelled?

or if it messes things up with the guy I like?

I don't know, but I do know that there will be people out there who try and take things away from us,

things bigger than prom, and we can just sit back and watch it happen...

or we can stand up for ourselves.

I mean we all deserve to dance to our own playlists no matter what Moreno or anyone else has to say about it.

Oh, one more thing, uhm, I know a lot of you guys want to vote me Queen to find out who I am.

I don't need that crown, but Stacy DeBane? She kind of, really does...

Just keep that in mind when you vote.

[BELL RINGS]

- Stacy!

- There you are. I've been dying to show you this bowtie I found for you to wear to Morp-- - Stacy--

- It perfectly matches my dress, how cute is that?-- - Stacy.

- Yeah?

- I know what you did to Tara. Audrey told me.

- What are you talking about?

- The closet. Don't bother denying it. I have a witness.

What did Tara ever do to you?

- You don't know her Gavin. She's not who you think she is. She's--

- No, Stacy. You're not who I thought you were.

I can't go to Morp with you, I'm sorry.

- But, we're gonna be King and Queen.

- I don't want to be King. I never did.

[MUSIC]

- Where's Tara?

- Uh, more to the point, where's Radio Rebel?

- Ah, my true love shall be revealed.

How do I look?

- Uh a little green. Uh, it could be the lighting or something worse.

We're standing in a microbial hot spot right now.

- Wow.

- Hey.

- You look amazing. - Yeah [LAUGHING] - Oh, thank you.

Have you seen Gavin? I, I really should talk to him.

- Wait, what are you gonna say? - I don't know.

- You mean haven't?-- - Not yet--

- You know you need to-- - No.

- Are we missing something? - Conference now.

[MUSIC]

- Oh, I don't know what to do.

I'm freaking out.

- Just breathe. [BREATHING SOUNDS]

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- You're beautiful.

You're a queen no matter what happens.

[CROWD SOUNDS]

- Good evening Seattle, you ready to find out who your Morp Queen is?

[CROWD CHEERS] It's time to see who will wear the crown at Lincoln Bay High. Yeah!

- Yeah! [CLAPPING AND CHEERING]

- We have 2 nominations for Morp King, but one dropped out.

- Yah. - No way! - What?

- So that leaves... Gabe LaViolet. [CROWD CHEERS]

[CLAPPING]

- I'd like to invite your Morp Court Princesses to join me on stage.

- Don't be nervous.

- That's like the worst thing to say to a nervous person Kim.

- I know, thanks, you're welcome.

- Let's hear it for Stacy DeBane!

[CROWD CHEERS AND CLAPS]

- And Radio Rebel!

[CROWD CHEERS]

- Radio Rebel are you out there?

- Show your face! - Rebel we love you!

- We want to see you!

- Well, I guess we'll continue.

Your Morp Queen is...

Radio Rebel!

[MUSIC] [LOUD CHEERING]

[CROWD CHEERS AND CLAPS]

- We lost you Rebel. - Where are you Rebel?

- Since she isn't here to accept her crown, maybe it should go to the person with the 2nd most votes?

- Most of you don't know me. I'm the girl who sits in the back of the class,

who never raises her hand, who's so afraid of saying the wrong thing

she says nothing instead.

The old me would of frozen in front of a crowd like this,

...but something happened.

Suddenly the real stuff we were dealing with at school

became more important than my fears.

Look, I wasn't sure I was gonna do this tonight,

but I need to be true to myself.

So, here goes.

I'm Radio Rebel.

- Huh Wh?

- [CROWD CHEERS AND CLAPS]

[AMP SOUNDS]

- Thank you for an enlightening evening...

and now that I know who Radio Rebel is--

- Tara--

[PRINCIPAL LAUGHS] - She is definitely getting expelled.

[CROWD GASPS]

Enjoy your Morp Tara, oh, and don't bother coming to school on Monday.

[PRINCIPAL LAUGHS]

- I'm Radio Rebel.

- No, I'm Radio Rebel.

- No! I'm Radio Rebel. Woo. I'm Radio Rebel.

[CROWD IN UNISON] No, I'm Radio Rebel.

- You can't expel everyone can you?

[CROWD CHANTS] I'm Radio Rebel, I'm Radio Rebel,

I'm Radio Rebel, I'm Radio Rebel, I'm Radio Rebel. I'm Radio Rebel,

I'm Radio Rebel, I'm Radio Rebel, I'm Radio Rebel, I'm Radio Rebel, I'm Radio Rebel.

- I believe this belongs to you.

- I mean, I guess since we're all Radio Rebel, this crown belongs to all of us,

so congratulations Kings and Queens.

[CROWD CHEERS]

But there is one person who has been dreaming about this crown for her entire life.

Although, I'm not quite sure if I heard her say she was Radio Rebel.

- I'm Radio Rebel. I'm so Radio Rebel.

- Well then.

[MUSIC]

[CLAPPING]

- Why are you being so nice to me when I've always been nothing but mean to you?

- Cus look at you right now Stacy...

that dress, the crown, ...you're 100% you right now.

That's all Radio Rebel could ask of anyone.

You are yourself and you've never been more beautiful.

[CROWD CHEERS AND CLAPS]

- Everyone, please give it up for Lincoln Bay's very own Gavin Morgan.

[CROWD CHEERS AND CLAPS]

- There's a girl I've liked for a while now.

She's the kind of girl who's not afraid to ask a dancing sandwich for some help.

[LAUGHS] She inspired this song. This song's for her.

[GAVIN SINGS]

[CROWD CHEERS AND CLAPS]

[MUSIC]

- Ohhh.

- Hi.

- Hey.

I don't know what's more amazing, that song or the fact that you're turkey on rye.

[LAUGHTER]

Why didn't you tell anyone I was Radio Rebel?

- You wanted to keep it a secret. I respected that.

- Thank you.

You know you really know how to dance for a sandwich. - Oh. [LAUGHS]

Will you go to Morp with me?

- Yes. [SIGHS]

- So, should I call you Tara or Radio Rebel?

- You can call me either, they're both me.
