[audience cheers]

Thank you, New York!
We are Electric Bloom!

Good night!

[audience applauds and cheers]

Hey, Bloomies, we just wrapped up
another sold-out show

and we are back in our recording studio,

which means it is time, as promised,

for a very special Electric Bloom

"Ask Us Anything."

Anything, anything, anything.

We asked you to send in your questions,
and you did not disappoint.

Okay, first question. "We all know
you three met in the ninth grade,

but you never told us the whole story.

How did the band get started?"

Ooh, coming in hot right off the bat.

Well, we can't tell you the story
of how the band started

without telling you the story
of how our friendship started.

And to tell that story,
we need to go all the way back.

I remember the exact day.

It was unusually balmy
for a Wednesday.

I started my morning like I always did,

getting inspired by one
of my favorite people.

Posey Penelope Parker,

time for another amazing day.
Your homework's done,

your hair is shiny,
but not in a braggy way,

and you're performing tomorrow in
Battle of the Bands with your best friend.

Everything is perfect.

[sighs contentedly]

[Jade] I also started my day
like I always did,

waiting to get yelled at.

Jade!

Hi, Principal Jeffers.

Great day, love school.

I'm sure that's why you're
always skipping class.

No, I skip to class. Bye now.

[Tulip] Meanwhile, it was
my first day at a new school

and I was determined to make friends.

Hi, I'm Tulip.

Wanna be friends?

I'm super-fun.

Unusually balmy for a Wednesday, right?

The hallway was a little rough,

but in science class,
I got a formal introduction.

Class, I'd like to introduce you...

- I got this, Cheryl.
- Not my name.

Hi, I'm Tulip.

And, wow, this school is so big.

There are so many classrooms.
At my old school, my house,

there was only one classroom

because the principal, my mom,

said that it was up to
the vice principal, my dad,

to fix up the garage.

And they had a long
discussion about that,

which made me wanna get
in touch with my feelings.

So I talked to the school's therapist,
my hamster.

Oh, I was homeschooled.

I have an announcement, too.

As you know, Battle of the Bands
is tomorrow

and my bestie, Shelly Sharp,
and I are gonna be performing.

- It's gonna be epic.
- Beyond.

- Here's a sneak peek.
- [both sing]

That's all you get. Want more?
Buy a ticket.

Quick question.

What do you do if you
don't want more?

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention

my friendship with Jade hadn't
exactly friendshipped yet.

And in case at any point
today, you're like,

"Wait, who's performing at
Battle of the Bands tomorrow?

And what do they look like?"

Don't worry, this will be
in the hallway all day.

Try and forget us. I dare you.

Oh, wow! It's my turn now?

Fun for me.

Protons, neutrons, electrons.

- Boring, right?
- Yes.

Okay. Your assignment,

present the particles to the class
in a creative way.

I'll be splitting you
into groups of three.

Shelly Sharp, you're with
Shelly LeBrock and Joey.

- Did you say Posey?
- I did not.

The two Shellys in a group. Unstoppable.

No offense, Joey.

We'll still let you do all the work.

Posey, you'll be with...

- Please not Jade.
- Please not me.

Jade.

And the two of you will be with...

[both] Please not the weird new girl.

Tulip.

Plot twist, I was the weird new girl.

So the three of us got sent
to the auditorium to work on our project,

and all of us were super-focused.

? Group projects are lame ?

? Lame ?

Well, some of us were focused.

Okay, so whenever Shelly Sharp
and I do our projects,

we usually start with...

[piano plays loudly]

I love that so much!

I make music too,
with my MIDI keyboard.

[? electronic music playing]

[Posey] So those were 14 minutes
I'll never get back.

[Jade] Then we got even more distracted.

[? electronic music continues]

[clattering]

- 'Sup?
- 'Sup?

- 'Sup?
- You're hot.

Hey, you guys pumped for lunch today?
It's Taco Tuesday.

Today's Wednesday.

Sweet, day-old tacos.

- Okay, I gotta dip.
- [both] Bye, Lucas Jasper.

Oh, B-T-dubbies,
Miss Meck says time's up.

You gotta do your presentation now.

Now? Like "now" now?

Okay, let's not panic. Let's not panic.

Good thing she's not panicking.

Totally.

But I feel like she is.

Okay, okay.

We just have to present
the particles in a creative way.

Music's creative.

I sing, you play the piano,
you've got that MIDI thing.

We'll make up a song.

? Protons ?

? Neutrons, electrons ?

? And protons ?

? Electrons... and pro... ?

Please just give us an A.

We got an F.

My first F. And the day
did not get any better.

In fact, it got 1,000% worse.

My best friend since
second grade, Shelly Sharp,

was about to drop-kick me
in the heart.

Hey, Shel, I have the best idea.
For Battle of the Bands,

we should wear the matching
sparkly tops from our cutout.

Totally. Also, I think
our band should break up.

- What?
- I just... I kinda want to perform alone.

Alone? But we've been
practicing for weeks

and you know how much
this means to me.

I know.

I'm so sorry, Posey.
I just wanna do my own thing.

You understand, right?

No, I don't.

Heartbreaking, right?

Dumped by my best friend.

It crushed me, but...

I handled it like a champ.

No! No, no, no!

Meanwhile, I wasn't having
the best day either.

[? upbeat piano music playing]

Fantastic.

But you were supposed
to play Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

Hey, the hands do what the hands do.

Well, tell the hands
to play Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

Jade, you're so talented.

But you don't take things seriously,

which is why you're failing my class.

What? I'm failing?

But if I fail this class, I'll be...

Never mind.

Held back.

If I failed music, I was gonna
be held back a grade.

I was terrified.

Ugh! Why are you making me
talk about feelings?

Somebody else talk.

Ooh, I'll talk. At the same time,

in another hallway, my quest
for friendship marched on.

I mean, I'm trying really hard.

And I did bond a little
with two girls this morning, I think.

But, so far, you're definitely
my best friend at the school, Barbara.

Thanks, hon.

You know,
if you want to make friends,

you could sign up
for Battle of the Bands.

Speaking of... Attention, students.

Last chance to sign up
for Battle of the Bands.

Only one slot left!

One slot left?

Listen up, lady.
You and your angelic voice

have wanted to do Battle of the Bands
since forever.

You were born to perform.

So Shelly Sharp or no Shelly Sharp,

you will be on that stage.

Hey, Mr. B.

What if I do
that Battle of the Bands thing

and show you I can take
something seriously?

Could that make me not fail music?

Please?

I'll do anything.

Okay, Jade, you got a deal.

[? upbeat music playing]

- [grunting] No.
- I was here first.

Then why don't I see your hand
on the sign-up sheet?

You were right, Barbara.
I'm making friends already.

[? upbeat music playing]

Look, I need this.

If I don't do Battle of the Bands, I...

I just have to, okay?

No, not okay. Some of us
actually care about performing.

I care about whatever you guys
care about.

Jade, knock it off.

Unless you want detention
for the third time this week.

But Principal Jeffers,
they were doing it, too.

Well, I'm sure you started it.

Regardless, there's only one slot left,

so you can either perform together
or not at all.

- [all] But...
- New tether or gotta shmall!

You know what I mean.

I get flustered when I get worked up.

So are you signing up together or not?

- Whatever it takes.
- Fine.

Yay!

Okay. We have 22 hours to write a song,

rehearse it and hone it
to stage-worthy perfection.

It's settled.
We're pulling an all-nighter.

Yay! I love it. We'll jam and hang out.

Just a beautiful evening
with my two best friends.

- [both] What?
- Just jam and hang out.

[sighs] So,

where is this all-night
soir�e gonna take place?

We need gear
and a space to practice.

Oh, oh, oh! I have this
music room at my house.

It's nothing special, but...

I feel like our definitions
of special are very different.

Yeah, my parents believe
deeply in nurturing our passions.

When I was five, I wanted
my own dry cleaning shop.

- Was that a...
- Pain in the butt to install?

Yeah, but I know a guy.

Cool, let's rehearse.

[? upbeat music playing]

[? playing off-key]

Oh, dear, we sound terrible.

No, we don't. We sound great.

We sounded terrible.

It's okay. We just need, like,
a cool riff to get us started.

Ooh, I've been messing around
with this new mix.

What do you guys think of this?

[? upbeat music playing]

Whoa, Tulip, you made that?

Yeah, that's a sick beat.

Thanks. I've never played it for anyone
besides my stuffed animals before.

And they have a lot of opinions.

Okay, let's try jamming to Tulip's mix.

Cool with you, Jade?

Jade?

- Hello?
- Goodbye.

What's that notebook
you're always scribbling in anyway?

Oh, this?

It's just where I keep track of the times
people ask me annoying questions.

Wednesday, 5:16 p.m.

Posey.

[mutters in Spanish]

Mind your business, like...

"They can't tell me what
to think or tell me how to feel"

Hey, that's my personal stuff.

"Got my hands on the wheel
I'm in control

"I get where I need to be
so don't be judging me

"I go at my own speed
down my own road"

Photographic memory.

Well, congrats.
Now you know my secret.

I write poetry. Go ahead and laugh.

I actually thought it was beautiful.

It could even be the lyrics for our song.

Wait.

Really? You like my poetry?

I love it.

Thanks.

So what are we waiting for?

Let's put what you did with
what you did and then...

I'll do a melody or something.

[? gentle piano music playing]

? They can't tell me what
to think or tell me how to feel ?

? Got my hands on the wheel
I'm in control ?

? I get where I need to be
so don't be judging me ?

? I go at my own speed
down my own road ?

This is awesome.

Yeah, we sound awesome.

I'm not gonna lie,

hearing my words turn into
a song for the first time,

it felt...

I'll never forget it.

We just need more lyrics.

Jade, what else you got
in that magical book?

Uh, I actually never finished that one.

Well, finish it now.

Hey, I'm not AI. I have a process.

Well, process it now.

Fine, I'll try to think of
some more lyrics.

Just don't talk to me or look at me.

[screaming]

I'm just gonna be who I want
because I just gotta be me

I'm not following anyone

Only following my own lead

I'm just gonna be who I want
'cause I'm not just anyone

My beat, my drum!

My beat, my drum

- Whoa.
- Okay, yeah, let's do that.

[cell phone dinging]

Why is my phone blowing up?

What up, party people?

- It's your girl, Shelly Sharp.
- And your other girl, Shelly LeBrock.

And we wanna introduce you
to our new band.

The Two Shellys!

We're making our debut
tomorrow at Battle of the Bands.

Here's a little taste
of what you're gonna get.

? Shelly! Shelly! Shelly! ?

? The Two Shellys ?

Come check us out.

I can't believe Shelly
would lie to me like that.

She said she wanted to "perform alone."

But really, she just wanted to drop me
for someone cooler and more popular.

I thought she was my best friend.

I'm so sorry, Posey.

Also not as important,
but still important,

matching sparkly tops were my idea!

[exhales]

- Are you okay?
- No.

Maybe. I don't know.

Shelley and I were BFFs for seven years.

That's like half my life.
Then, poof, it's just gone, you know?

- Yeah, I know exactly...
- And you know what the craziest part is?

She's taking away
a huge piece of me, like...

You guys might not know this about me,

but I can be
a little high-strung sometimes.

- What?
- What?

When I played music
with Shelly, I could...

let loose and feel free.

And now that's just gone.

Ugh! I wish I could just
walk up to Shelly right now

and tell her exactly what I think.

Cool, let's go do it.

Wait. What do you mean?
Like, for real?

Um, yeah, she's at school right now.

I didn't mean...
I was just saying words.

Posey, you can't let people
walk all over you.

You deserve better than that.

Yeah.

You're right. I do.

Let's go stand up for myself.

I'm in.

Time to have an adventure with
my two best friends.

Are we saying that yet?
No? Cool. Cool.

So we went to school to find Shelly Sharp,

but she was already gone
and the school was closed.

You know, I usually try to
break out of school,

but this time, I had to break in.

We're in school and it's closed.

How'd you get a key, anyway?

- Don't ask questions.
- Like ever again?

Ah, I blew it already.

Jade, are we gonna get in trouble
for this? What are we doing here?

She just said not to ask questions.

All right, Posey,
you wanna talk to Shelly?

There she is.

Wait, what? You want me
to talk to cardboard?

I'm not talking to cardboard.

? The Two Shellys ?

Without Posey.

- Ooh!
- What?

Listen up, you little backstabber.

You're a terrible friend
and I deserve better.

I gave you seven years,
four months, three days

and two matching sparkly tops
of my life.

But after what you did to me,
we are done!

- Girl's got some fire in her.
- Like a dragon.

Actually, not done.

- [screaming]
- No, no, no! Wait, wait!

No! Posey, you're better than this!

- [Posey screaming]
- No!

Let her do it.

[shouting continues]

[screams]

[alarm blaring]

Oh, no! Run!

- Get...
- Where?

Oh, my gauze, I can't believe
we just did that.

Are we in trouble? Am I a criminal?

I feel alive!

Me too! All this adrenaline
is making me wanna jam!

Yeah, I feel new lyrics coming on.

I feel new lyrics coming on.

? Together we're powerful ?

? Together we can do it all ?

? Together we're unstoppable ?

? You and me, you and I ?

? I got your back
and you got mine ?

? We're in this forever ?

? Wherever we go, we go together ?

? It's all for one ?

? It's you and me ?

? 'Cause all we are
is all we need ?

? We'll be friends forever ?

? Wherever we go, we go together ?

Last night was awesome.

I'm so pumped to do Battle of the Bands
with you guys.

Jade.

Someone snuck into school
last night and broke all the trophies,

including my Principal of the Year Award,

which was very expensive to make.

I'm pretty sure I know
who's responsible for this. Detention!

What? You can't just accuse
someone of something without proof.

I no schnee shmoof!

I don't need proof.

This is who Jade is
and what Jade does.

And I don't appreciate
being yelled at by a student, Posey.

So to you, I also say detention!

- What?
- This is an injustice!

Principal Jeffers, hi, I'm Tulip.

Second day here, love what
you've done with the place.

Please don't give my two best friends

in the entire world detention
when I am the culprit.

That's right. It was me.

I broke the trophies,
and I got proof right here.

[shushes] We're sneaking into school.

The three of us. Me, Jade and Posey!

Whoops.

Looks like you're all getting detention.

Today! After school!

What? No!

That's the same time as
Battle of the Bands.

You know what? On second glance,

I don't love what
you've done with the place.

Oh, no! He heard me! Run!

[? upbeat music playing]

[sighs]

- This sucks!
- Sucks!

I know I'm naturally positive,

and I always look
on the bright side of things, but

I'm so mad right now!

Okay, I feel better now.

Well, I don't.

Let's get out of here and play that show.

Whoa! Sneak out of detention? No way.

I know a girl who did that once
and guess where she is now?

Nobody knows.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great story.

- Move!
- We're not sneaking out.

You know how much I wanna
play that show, too,

but let's face it, it's over.

We lost.

No, we can't lose.

We can't give up. This is
really important to me.

It's important to us too, but...

You guys don't understand.

Try us.

Fine.

But it's hard for me to open up,

so you have to turn around.

Now what?

Forget it. Posey, turn back.

At first, I signed up
to do Battle of the Bands

because it was the only way
to keep from flunking music

- and being held back a grade.
- Oh.

But then you guys liked my poem,

and we made it a song,

and it's a good song!

And I wanted to perform it
and show the school who I really am,

that I'm not just some
delinquent who gets in trouble

and doesn't take anything seriously.

But now that's never gonna happen,

and I'll have to repeat a whole grade

and keep being the joke
everybody already thinks I am.

Change of plans!
We're sneaking out of here

- and playing Battle of the Bands.
- Yes!

Wait, what?

You're not a joke.

You're a super-talented rock star poet
who wrote a killer song,

and we're gonna go play it.

Yeah, we are!

And I'm not just saying that
'cause I'm scared of Posey, which I am.

I'm saying it because I would
do anything for you, Jade.

Wow.

Nobody's ever had my back
like this before.

Well, you had mine last night.
You both did.

'Cause that's what friends do.

Yes, "friends." You said it out loud.

No, take-backs.

I gotta tell you, guys,
I was really scared

I wouldn't make friends at this school.

And this may sound crazy,
but sometimes people think I'm weird.

- What?
- What?

Get in here, ding-dongs.

- Hey, Lucas Jasper.
- 'Sup, Lucas Jasper?

You're hot, Lucas Jasper.

[? suspenseful music playing]

[sighs] That was close.

[The Two Shellys singing]
? Yeah, yeah ?

Hey, The Two Shellys are done.

They're the last band. It's now or never.

I choose now.

All right. All right.

That's it for this year's
Battle of the Bands. Let's give...

No, it's not. Sit down, people.

What up, everyone?

- We are...
- Sneaking out of detention!

We'll think of a real band name later.

Two, three, four.

? I love doing what I do
Love making my own moves ?

? No room for attitude
No time for that ?

? I love to dance to my own beat ?

? That's who I'm supposed to be ?

? 'Cause all that's all on me
I'm fine with that ?

? Oh ?

? I'm not made for fitting in ?

? Oh ?

? It's my life
It's mine to live ?

? I'm just gonna be who I want ?

? 'Cause I just gotta be me ?

? I'm not following anyone ?

? Only following my own lead ?

? I'm just gonna be who I want
'cause I'm not just anyone ?

? My beat, my drum ?

? My beat, my drum... ?

Okay, fine. It wasn't quite that epic.

What do you expect?
It was our first time playing together.

Yeah, we were kind of a mess.

? My beat, my beat, my drum ?

[microphone feedback]

But none of that mattered
because these guys gave me back something

I thought I lost, playing music.

I got to feel free again.

I guess you could say
that was the day we became friends.

Best friends who won first place
at Battle of the Bands.

No, we did not. But guess who did.

? The Two Shellys ?

[Posey] Yep, them. And they became
our rivals for the rest of school.

[Jade] But some good stuff happened.

Mr. B gave me extra credit,
so I didn't flunk. Go me!

[Tulip] Also, Principal Jeffers busted us.

We got detention for a month.

But at least detention
had a special guest.

It rhymes with Shmucas Shmasper.

You guys were so good
at Battle of the Bands.

I took a bunch of pics of you in action

in case you wanna potench
hang 'em up somewhere.

- Cool.
- Cool.

I can also abbreve words.

What do you guys think of this one?

It's blurry, but kind of artsy.

[all] No.

Okay, how about this one?

It's bad, but bad good, right?

- No.
- Definitely no.

I love you, but no.

Oh, man. Hang on,
I know I got a good one in here.

[laughing] Squirrels.

Okay? Yeah.
Um, how about this one?

[? upbeat music playing]

Uh, yeah, we liked that one.
It was a pretty epic picture.

For a pretty epic band.

And some pretty epic best friends.

Aw!

All right, next question.

This "Ask Us Anything" is just
getting started, people.

One more hug first.
