My name is Lena Grisky

and I go to the best ballet school in the world.

I have a secret.

I'm a time traveler from 1905

and my boyfriend Henri is doing everything he can to get me home.

♪ I can feel my heart skipping Go off the beat ♪

♪ Things are pacing too fast out on the streets ♪

♪ And I try to stay on my feet along the way ♪

♪ Another crazy day Okay, okay ♪

♪ Wake up, wake up, wake up into a new world ♪

♪ Watch out, watch out, watch out and hold on strong, girl ♪

♪ It's time to show myself what I can be ♪

♪ Figure out my life and still be me ♪

♪ Wake up, wake up, wake up and welcome to my world ♪

(Lena) Previously...

(Henri) I'm building a time portal with the Time Collectors.

Time travel anywhere, anytime, without having to worry about timepieces or portal days.

I'll have to trick them to use it before tey can.

Don't try anything funny.

I just hope Lena can blend in until I get there.

Thea only looks out for herself.

She's not gonna beat me. -We have to destroy everybody. Especially Little Miss Perfect.

(Lena and Ines singing and laughing)

Today is the last day to impress Ms Carré before the mid-season show. -Uh-hm.

Which part do you want the most? Pairs or the solo?

Well, I'd say solo, but I'd take either.

I really want pairs. -Oh... (teases) Cause you want to be paired with Max!

No, I don't! -I never got the whole Max thing anyway.

There's a "Max thing"?

"Hey, chica. I'm mysterious and brooding and I've got loads and loads of secrets!"

OK. Stop. Seriously. This could be my last chance to dance on the Garnier stage.

You don't know that.

I don't know when, but Henri is coming at some point to take me back to 1905, so...

(Thea) Room check. -(Bree) Check.

Don't check my check. Just tell me that it's done. -Check.

Don't. Not today. Magazines hidden? Devices stored? -Check.

(exhales nervously)

(Ines and Lena giggle) That is a whole new level of Thea.

Oh, just you wait. Her mother comes every year to watch the selection for mid-season show

and Thea loses her mind. Fasten your seat belt. -(giggles)

Seat belt? -Like a car seat belt?

Oh, OK. (Both laugh)

(Lena and Ines laugh)

Whoa! Take it easy. Don't you want to be light on your feet today?

(with full mouth) Yeah. I know Ms Carré is casting the showcase.

But why would I act any different today than any other day? Hm?

(chuckles)

Um, so, where is everyone?

By everyone, do you mean Max?

No... well... maybe?

♪ Every day you feel like the new kid at school ♪

♪ And you're afraid everyone thinks you're a fool ♪

♪ You can make it If you wanna ♪

♪ Oh, you are smart but you don't brag about that ♪

♪ You are a little nervous but deep in your heart ♪

♪ You can make it If you wanna ♪

♪ Chill out You're the best ♪

Nice try, Jeffrey. Let's get started.

How you perform will determine your role in the mid-season show.

Pairs: Ines and Dash.

Let's do this. I'm in it to win it.

(Ms Carré) Max and Thea. Lena and Jeff.

Oh no. -Hey, I heard that!

(Ms Carré) ...Emma and David. Alice and Sacha.

Wooh! Yeah! Oh!

OK, wow, that's so great. But can we get started now? Please?

Oh yeah! L to the E to the N to the A. What does that spell?

Lena. It spells Lena, Jeff. (Fake laugh) Totally hilarious. As usual.

Let's start with the lift.

(Jeff) Argh. OK.

(tickling noises) -(Lena laughs) Jeff! Come on. Get serious.

I'm totally serious. You're the one who's laughing. (Sighs) OK.

(Lena laughs)

I am begging you to stop! This isn't funny!

This may be my only chance to do this and I'm not going to let you ruin it.

Only chance? Dramatic much?

I mean, dancers only get a few chances. This is one. Come on.

OK. (Inhales deeply)

Ahhh! (Lena laughs) Jeff! No!

We're going partying. We're out! -No! Jeff, put me down!

Goodbye! -(screams)

(Thea) So here is how it's gonna go down.

I've texted you a meditation technique for people like us.

People like us? -Winners! It'll sync our minds and give us the edge. Give me your phone.

(phone beeps) It's a brain teaser app. Use it or lose it.

Yoga. Not gonna lie, yoga bugs me. But we're going to do it because every second counts!

(sighs) Thea, I know your mum's intense, but this is a bit much.

If we're not rehearsing, we're meditating,

if we're not meditating, we're working out.

Yeah, I got it. Babe... you need to chill.

Chill? There will be no chilling!

(Kennedy) The student lounge shines.

And we put gold stars around your name on the events board.

(Thea) We have fifteen minutes to get as relaxed as possible.

Yoga up!

I'll pass.

(Max) I'll catch you later.

At least do a brain teaser! -(Max) Yes, Ma'am.

Get out!

(teases) No! You get out! (both giggle)

OK...

(Lena) I can't get Jeff to focus for more than thirty seconds.

Dash, would you run through the choreo with me?

Only if my partner doesn't mind.

As if I'd mind. Why would I mind?

Maybe you don't want Lena cutting into our rehearsal time.

(Ines) Whatever. Cut away. -(Lena giggles)

OK, help me out. How do I get Jeff to take this seriously?

(Dash) You know how he gets weird under pressure and pretends not to care?

He totally cares so he acts like it's not a big deal.

But it is! Actually a huge deal.

(Dash) But you got to make him think it's not. Make him feel like you're just playing around.

Even better: Make him think you're breaking rules.

OK... I think I have some ideas. Thank you. -(Both chuckle)

(video game noises)

Hey... I thought you wanted to just go back to rehearsing.

Oh that? Whatevers... evs.

Whoops...

Hey! Let's go break into the dining hall for a snack.

We don't have to break in. It's right over there, it's open.

Oh yeah. Well, what about breaking into Studio C?

It's locked. We could rehearse in there like rebels.

What is with you today?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

(Jeff) Oh, yeah, Mom's coming today.

H'm. Oh. Time for pairs class.

Oh yeah. I'll meet up with you later.

(Lena) Thank goodness.

Hey! Whoa! -I didn't think you were going to make it.

Ah, pfff! Come on, L. Back off. We got this.

(Max) Come on, we need to practice the lift.

(classical piano music plays)

(Thea) Oh...

(Thea) Sorry.

That's not even close. OK. Let's walk through it again.

And Ines, point your toes, OK? They're offending me.

(Etienne) It's one... and extend and lift. Lift! Lift! Lift! Lift!

Come on, Thea, that means you have to be in the air!

(sighs)

(Jeff sighs) -(Thea gasps)

What is this? Some sort of joke? You fell out of that lift.

Stand up straight, Dorothea. This isn't the circus, it's the Paris Opera Ballet School.

Hello, Mother.

(Jan) Why are you standing there? Get back into that studio until you get it right.

At least you're not them. Come on, let's go. You too, Max.

(Lena gasps) -(Jan) You won't make Company with that abysmal lift.

(Ines) Wow... -(Lena) Well, she's right. We were terrible.

Oh, come on, L. You know I like to run fast and loose with the rules.

I like to walk on the edge.

(Lena) Yeah and... make your own schedule. Or do exactly what you're not supposed to do.

You know me so well. (All laugh)

I have a surprise for you. Come on. -For meeee? OK.

(Lena) It's a rehearsal. Isn't it exquisite?

It's OK. The girl's pretty good. The dude could lighten up a little though.

It's kinda boring. -Seriously?

I sneak us into a rehearsal and you call it boring?

I mean, it is nice, but...

I risked everything to sneak us in here because I thought it would inspire you, Jeff.

And you're just... bored?

Sort of... sorry.

Wow. Is there a yogurt shortage? A pineapple drought? -(Dash chuckles)

(Lena) This is a motivational dinner. A dinner that inspires hard work and dedication.

So how's it going with rehearsals? -I've tried everything.

Why can't you rally behind me like you did for Max and the Blok?

(Jeff) Whoa. What's with all these outrageous demands and accusations?

Let's take this down a notch. Right, guys?

I'm with her. -You gotta do the work, bro.

(Ines) I could never be like Lena. She's got the patience of a saint.

Yeah, I mean, we tried to help her figure out how to motivate you, but...

(Jeff) Wait. You... you talked to them about me?

I was just trying to help, Jeff. -(scoffs) Yeah, sure.

Jeff...

(Jan) The reason why I didn't make Company was because of an injury.

But Thea, she has my genes, and my ambition. (Chuckles) Don't you?

See how focused she is? I said, don't you, Thea?

Yes, Mother.

(Max sighs, clears his throat)

Excuse me, Mrs Raphael, would you mind if I steal Thea? We need to rehearse.

Oh, I like to see you working so hard. Go on, then.

I thought you said we were gonna rehearse.

We should rehearse. She's probably following us with binoculars.

Trust me, babe. This will make you feel better. You can't let her get to you.

You don't get it...

She took a second job when I was eight years old to pay for ballet class.

I didn't even want to be a dancer.

I wanted to be a skateboarder.

Really? You have never told me that before.

I can picture you on a pink skateboard though. -(giggles)

I never got the chance. It was easier to just... give in.

But it turns out I love ballet.

Well, that's a relief. Because I can't attest for your skateboarding skills,

but your ballet, I guess, is alright.

(chuckles) Thanks, Boo. That means a lot.

Where is everybody? I thought this was a meeting for the Blok.

I just said that to get you here.

No! Listen. I'm sorry I went to Dash and Ines for help, but I didn't know what else to do.

You're not taking this seriously.

Imagine if I didn't take hip-hop seriously. I can do this because of you.

Ta-ta-ta.

Bend your right leg.

No, I don't feel like it. I'm just gonna go play some TV action games.

OK! I get it.

Close your eyes. Dance to the beat of your heart.

(bursts out laughing)

I'm sorry, L. This just isn't me. This is! (imitates beating heart)

I've had it! Why are you even at this school?

Oh, come on, L!

Thanks for your help, girls.

(both) Sorry...

Oh. I've reorganized your room. What have I told you before about clutter?

"You're the boss of clutter, not the other way around."

So you do remember?

What have you done with my stuff? My posters? My pictures...

You mean the wall of distraction? I threw it all out so you can focus.

(door opens) Oh! Thea, there you are.

Where else would I be?

Who just waltzes into somebody's room without knocking?

I'm sorry. But, we have that thing.

What thing? What thing?

Uh... That dance thing. You said you'd meet me in my room.

Right! She needs tons of practice, 'cause she's really behind.

Well, there's no need for insults.

(Jan) Where do you think you're going?

(Thea) Sorry, Mother. School comes first.

Good evening, Mrs Raphael. A true pleasure to meet you and my apologies for the disruption.

Pfff. -Pfff!

(gasps)

(ticking clock, magical tinkling)

(Frank) We need this portal to work, boys.

It gives us the freedom to travel whenever and wherever we want.

(hammering)

(Pinky groans)

There's a crucial part missing to finish this portal. Without it, there's no time travel.

Is this it?

(metal clanking)

No! We're missing the piece that actually makes it work.

Gonna make this easy on you, mate.

What, you talking to me? -I don't have time for your smart remarks right now, Henri.

So where is it? -Where is what?

The missing piece! The part of the blueprint you haven't told us about.

The piece of the puzzle that makes this whole thing work! Where is it?

Are you being serious? You think I'd sabotage my only chance to get to Lena?

That is stupid.

(Pinky) Oh... (whispers) You wanna take that back, now.

What did you just call me?

OK, gents. Let's settle down. I don't think he meant that literally, Boss. How could he?

He was being ironic on account of you being so smart, weren't you, Henri?

Yeah. I don't know any more than you do. Sorry.

(ticking clock, magical tinkling)

(giggles) I'm willing to bet if both our mothers were in the same room,

the world would explode. (Giggles) I mean you should have seen the look on her face!

There's a trick to getting Jeff to do what you want, you know.

What is it? I'll try anything.

Jeff's like a puppy. If you tell him what he needs instead of how important it is,

he'll deliver. Just, stick to the facts.

Oh... Thanks.

(Ines) Did the world end? Are zombies coming?

Hilarious. Be nice.

Thea's going to stay here until we're sure her mother's gone back to the hotel.

(Ines) Okay, Dorothea.

(whispers) It was literally an emergency.

So. Should we all go and make cupcakes now? Yeah?

Fact. We can do this. Fact. The lift needs work.

Fact. You need to be on my right after the second count of eight.

Fact. Hair washing once a month is necessary.

Once a month? That's gross. That's not even a fact.

Well, it was a fact in 1905. Which is totally gross. (Nervous laugh)

OK... I'll play your little game, L.

Fact. I've been a jerk.

Fact. So have I.

You freaked me out.

I know. Sorry about the whole Dash and Ines thing. I should've just talked to you.

You did. I didn't listen.

Hey... Fact. We have 38 minutes to rehearse.

And, if we run, we'll beat Dash and Ines to the studio.

No, not like that. Like I showed you.

(Jan sighs) No... let me do it.

I'll meet you in there, OK?

Ms Carré! It's a big day, isn't it?

The role you land today, determines your future.

If this isn't perfect, you risk making Company.

Mrs Raphael. -Ms Carré. What a privilege.

I'm so pleased to see you. Do you have a few minutes to meet with me in my office?

It would be an honor. (to Thea) Pointes. Bun. Stretch.

I don't mean to be rude, but I have thirty very nervous students

waiting to perform for me, so I'll make this brief.

Is there something I can do to help? You are aware I have a ballet background, I assume?

This may come as a shock to you, but we're not here to talk about you.

I may not be Thea's parent, but I am the person who looks after her on a daily basis.

I know she's been off her game the whole time I've been here. Please let me talk to her.

She's off her game because you're here.

She's gone from a confident student to a nervous wreck. You need to let her work.

I'm only trying to do what's best for my daughter.

Then I suggest you leave.

(clock ticking, magical tinkling)

(Henri) Come on. We have to try something. I need to get to Lena.

(Frank) I'll say when it's worth trying.

OK. No, I'll say when it's OK.

I said OK. -No, I will!

(Clive) Oh no. Not again.

(classical piano music plays)

(Ms Carré) Tss...

(Thea exhales nervously)

Thank you. Next group. -(Lena squeals)

(Jeff sings indistinctly) (Lena laughs)

Thank you for taking me to the rehearsal.

I didn't mean to force you to like everything that inspires me, you know.

But it was amazing! It just... freaked me out.

After what we just did, I get that thrill you're always talking about.

I have to thank you for that. You did that, L.

(laughs excitedly)

I found these. -You just found them?

Yep. In a store. Where I paid money for them. (Both chuckle)

Relax. Yellow ones mean friendship, I looked it up.

I just wanted to say that this has been a lot of fun.

This conversation?

Yes, this conversation. I bought you flowers in anticipation of this fun conversation.

I mean, your sarcasm is getting better.

Yellow ones also mean undying love, intense emotion.

Don't ruin it. -Whatever, Ines.

(Jan) I'm sorry I left without saying good-bye.

Perhaps my history as a ballerina has thrown you off your game.

I felt it best to leave you be. Fondly, Mother.

(cries)

(sniffles)

(Ines) I got the solo! I got the solo! (Laughs) -Yes!

I'm sorry you didn't get the solo.

Oh, that's... that's fine. Trios... That's fine.

Yes! Pairs. Tia is gonna be so happy!

Tia? It's Max.

(gasps)

You got the pairs! With Max!

(Jeff) And I'm the understudy! This is all thanks to you, L.

With Max? I mean... yay! Yay! (Laughs, then gasps)

I'm Lena's understudy.

Don't even speak to me.

(Ines laughs)

Hey! So I guess we're working together.

I'll catch you later. -OK.

(Ines) You might want to rein that in.

I'm just smiling because I got the part.

Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.

It's true. -(copies) "It's true."
