♪ Slay! ♪

Get ready, guys. It's almost time.

Look at all of you.

Phones are an epidemic with your generation.

It's just pitiful.

Millie Eyelash concert tickets go on sale in ten seconds.

What? Where's my phone?

Give me that.

I'm so happy. I'm finally gonna get a chance to see Millie Eyelash live.

Shh! Your joy is distracting.

Rude.

Can you believe she shushed me?

[both] Shh!

Focus, Vee. Steady fingers are required to be the fastest when the tickets go on sale.

This is it. Three, two, one. Go!

-[Vee] Come on! -You can do it!

-Almost. Yes! I'm in the queue. -Me too!

-I'm next! -I'm in!

I'm in! I'm... out?

[all] No!

What just happened?

Dudeston, we have a problem.

The website crashed.

Ugh! Unacceptable.

Who's responsible for this?

I need someone to yell at.

Most people will blame the website sys admin,

but it's usually a server load issue, and that's more budgetary than operational.

Maybe I'll just yell at you.

How do we get tickets now?

Ooh! They just posted that due to demand breaking the Internet,

the remaining tickets will go on sale at the box office tomorrow morning.

-Yes! -Forget my cousin's wedding.

This is way more important.

This might be my only chance to see Millie with you guys.

What are you talking about?

There'll be other shows.

Right. Of course.

I just really want to see this one.

Hey, I've got a plan.

Let's sneak out after curfew and camp at the box office so we can be first in line.

-[both] Cool. -Real cool.

Sounds to me like you're planning on detention.

[clears throat] Um... New plan.

Let's leave first thing in the morning. Yeah.

Cool.

-Here, let me help you with that. -Thanks.

-I'm donating this stuff. -[clangs]

[gasps]

Oops.

I guess that's the curse of the monkey's paw.

I guess my super strength is too super today.

Your powers are really fritzing more lately.

I know, which is why I want to give you this back.

It's your vessel.

But your parents gave it to you when you came here.

Remember, whoever possesses my cameo brooch, I'm bound to protect.

Even if they aren't bound to listen.

Even if I have to leave school because of my fritzing, it doesn't mean you have to.

You should have the choice to stay or not.

Stay without you?

Wow.

I don't know what to say.

Well, that's a first.

Listen, don't tell Sophie and Elijah I'm leaving yet, okay?

It'll just make them sad, and I wanna enjoy every minute I've got left.

Like the Millie Eyelash concert.

It's gonna be bananas.

You get me, right, giant monkey?

[clangs]

Ah! Curses.

Wait! Why do you have a giant monkey?

I think the question is, "Why don't you?"

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[sighs] Waiting in line all day on a Saturday?

I wonder why Demi didn't wanna do this.

My fam's pretty mad at me for missing the wedding.

-We'd better get these tickets. -[cell phone vibrates]

[gasps] And they better clean up their language.

Getting a chance to see Millie is worth it, and worth almost being fried by the sun.

Good thing I use plenty of SPF 500.

Huh? It's totally overcast. You can't even see the sun.

That's what it wants you to think.

But I can feel it up there...

[whispers] lurking.

Dudes, the ticket booth doesn't open for hours.

We should've brought chairs.

[Britney] Yeah, you should've.

Wow. Nice setup. You even brought snacks.

If you want some, all you have to do is switch places with me in line.

You can all have this water for free.

You must have a hidden motive.

Absolutely not.

They'll drink, then have to use the bathroom and lose their spot in line.

My motive's in plain sight.

Yikes. You're hardcore.

That's right. But if you step out, no takesie backsies.

Britney can try all she wants.

There's nothing she can tempt me with, except, you know, choc--

[sniffing]

[Vee] Britney...

get away before someone gets hurt.

Premium 70% cacao chocolate?

[shrieks]

Ow! You got a little piece of my nail.

[spits] I thought it was an almond.

Goodness, look at all this junk.

[whispers] How dare you?

[sniffs] Ooh, and it smells in here.

My bad.

What is all this stuff?

I don't remember leaving this in here.

Ooh, what's this?

Uh-oh!

Well, who's a hot mama now?

Ooh!

So now I'm bound to protect Dean Merriweather?

[snarls in frustration]

[♪ upbeat music playing]

How you doing back there, Soph?

That cacao's kicking in!

[grunting loudly]

Anybody else need a pick-me-up?

[sniffing]

It smells so good.

Guess I'm gonna have to eat this delicious hot dog all by myself--

Give it to me!

[muffled] Don't judge me.

Too late.

[gasps] The ticket window opened!

We're moving, people.

Goodness, I'm feeling a little lightheaded.

Somebody catch me! Diva down.

Britney, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, but you're out of line, sucker.

Move up, Cody. Move up.

-Oh, I gotta go so bad. -We're so close.

Sure you don't want more water?

Away, water witch!

Guess I'll just pour it out then.

Doesn't that sound relaxing, like the gentle stream of a babbling brook?

[imitates sound of running water]

Oh! It's happening!

[Britney] One ticket, please.

Here we go! The universe has smiled upon us.

Yes!

[both sobbing] No!

The universe has spit on our souls.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

We were so close to getting tickets.

Aw, man. Sold out?

Time for desperate measures.

What are you doing?

Speaking truth to power.

Or at least to my 12 followers.

Yo, Millie, I'm salty I don't get to see your show.

You went to Wilson Hall just like all of us.

I'm your number one fan.

I love you more than my cousin loves her soon-to-be husband.

[clears throat] Please, Millie,

next time you're in town, hook the Wilson Hall crew up.

So you know what to do, Mills.

I'm tagging her.

That made me feel a little better.

Even though I doubt Millie will ever see it.

Come on, Sophie. Let's go.

No, I can still make the wedding. Out of my way!

[♪ upbeat music playing]

What more can I say?

The concert was incredible.

Life-changing.

I cried.

Don't tell anyone,

but I cried last night 'cause I was missing it.

Bro, we all heard you.

I heard you from the wedding.

So it seems some students went on social media yesterday

to complain about not seeing Millie Eyelash's concert.

It was all Vee's idea.

Say goodbye to your 12th follower.

No one's in trouble.

Millie saw the post, and she felt bad that you were all missing her show.

Yes! So does that mean she's giving us tickets?

-VIP tickets? -Ooh! Backstage passes?

Yes! Stinks to be all of you!

Loud and wrong.

Millie is going to do a private concert for everyone here at Wilson Hall.

[all exclaiming excitedly]

Okay, simmer down, simmer down, simmer down.

'Cause I can top that news.

Nothing can top Millie Eyelash doing a private concert for us.

Millie's going to send her reps to choose one of you

to be her opening act at that show.

She topped it!

[all screaming excitedly]

Hey, guys, guys, guys.

It's time to get the "First Year to Watch" group back together.

-Nuh-uh. -[Elijah] Hmm?

Didn't you hear me?

One of you.

The rules are that you have to audition

with the same song, and like Millie, you have to do a solo act.

Ooh! My favorite kind of act.

Wait, so we're gonna have to compete against each other?

I'm not sure if I like that.

This'll be interesting.

Can the "too nice" crew survive a little competition?

Of course we can.

Competition is healthy, and so is our friendship.

Exactly. Let the best friend win.

Or the best frenemy.

♪ S-L-A-Y ♪

-Aah! -Sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you. Have you seen the dean?

Not for a few hours.

But am I crazy, or was she wearing your cameo?

She found it in the attic,

and I haven't had a moment to myself since.

Protecting that lady is a full-time job.

It's a miracle she's not a ghost yet.

Cody.

There she is.

And I'll tell you, Myrna, things are going so much more smoothly

ever since I found this cameo brooch.

I know! I owe my guardian angel a big thank you.

[gasps]

You owe me a lot more than that, lady.

Same thing you're doing. Spying on Elijah to see what he's planning.

Boo!

You're both spying...

and you're bad at it.

If you were confident in your skills like me, you wouldn't have to snoop.

Oh, really? Then that was just someone who looked like you skulking around

while Vee was in the rehearsal room?

Well, well, well. Looks like Mr. Confident is busted.

Guilty, but Mr. Confident is covering all his bases.

"Pick me." Subtle.

Clear out! It's my time to rehearse.

Okay, Delilah, back up the truck.

[truck reversing]

What's in the truck?

Nothing much. Just confetti cannons, a giant Beyonce fan and a cage of doves.

Whoa.

I guess we all need to step it up, huh?

I'll take that as a yes.

What am I gonna do? How do I top that?

You have a great act, with smoke,

the lift, trapeze, the 10-foot holograms.

But I need more to impress the judges.

Back in a minute.

You-- That wasn't even five seconds.

Let's hope these speakers do the trick.

[Merriweather] I can't see! What's going on?

Whoo! That's, like, the third time today.

Eighth, but who's counting?

And our last contestant, Vee Hauntley. Enjoy.

Ooh, mini amp.

Just one more. Couldn't hurt.

-[electricity crackling] -[screams]

Oh, bats!

Are you sure Millie's reps can't come back tomorrow?

Oh, unfortunately, no.

They very kindly said that they had "better things" to do.

Oh, I'm so sorry, dear, but there's no power.

You're gonna have to figure something out and quickly.

It's no use.

There's no way Millie's reps will choose me after all those fancy performances.

I blew it.

[♪ melancholy music playing]

[sighs softly]

[sobbing quietly]

[girl] Are you okay?

Uh, not really.

All this darkness is my fault.

I overloaded the power grid and ruined my chance.

I'm not gonna get my moment to shine.

Why not? You still have your voice.

Everyone else had awesome stage tricks.

There's no way I can stand out against all that.

[girl] Don't worry about what they did.

There's so many ways to connect with an audience.

You'll find yours.

Just trust in your own power.

-Really? -Well, you won't know for sure unless you try.

You're right.

Hello?

Thanks.

Whoever you are.

[♪ gentle music playing]

I've decided to sing.

Huzzah! It ain't over till the bat lady wings.

How can we help?

-Maybe some candles? -On it!

You guys are the best.

I'm really gonna miss you.

What? When you're a big star? Slow your roll.

You haven't beat us yet.

You're right. Let's do this.

Oh, thanks. This school is so old and creepy in the dark.

You don't think it's haunted, do you?

I'm asking for a friend.

[inaudible conversation]

Oh, my gosh, Vee, that was amazing.

I got chills, and I'm a ghost.

I just spoke to Millie's reps, Vee.

You're the winner!

You're gonna open for Millie Eyelash. Congratulations.

-Thank you. -[all squealing]

Hey, if it couldn't be me, I'm glad it's you.

What's in the note the dean gave you?

[exhales] "Dear Vee,

"I loved your performance.

"You trusted your own power and you were incredible.

"It was great to meet you.

"See you soon. Millie."

[Sophie and Demi gasp]

When did you meet Millie Eyelash?

I didn't know she was Millie Eyelash.

I just thought she was a mysterious voice in the dark giving me advice.

Aw, man. The dark never gives me advice. I'm so unlucky.

[blows softly]

[sighs]

Thank you, guardian angel.

[Demi] You're welcome, Evelyn.

You speak, angel?

Why, I hear your dulcet tones.

Yes, but you should know, I'm not an angel.

[screams hysterically]

[spookily] I'm a ghost!

A guardian ghost?

Why are you haunting me?

I pay my taxes.

I mean, sometimes late, but I pay 'em.

Well, as long as you keep my haunted cameo, I'll be with you.

Day and long, creepy night.

[laughs nervously] Here! I don't need no ghost, man.

I can take care of myself. Boo!

-[objects clattering] -[Merriweather shouts]

She'll be fine.

-Oh, hey. -Hey.

I've been thinking.

I need my vessel to be safe and sound.

And the safest place is with you.

I want you to keep it.

Demi, are you sure?

Definitely.

Cameo or no cameo, you're stuck with me.

And you're stuck with me.

Good. Come on, let's go celebrate with some ice cream.

It's gonna be really hard for us to leave Wilson Hall,

but I have no regrets.

This has been the best year of my life.

I know. Remember when I thought there was going to be danger

lurking around every corner here?
