Five, six, seven, eight.

Wow, they are really awake for 6 a.m.

Ryan, you made it. Are you ready to rock the Wolf Wall?

Um, that sounds frightening.

Let's go.

So listen, I totally get it.

But we're not in Texas anymore, Toto.

I get that you miss... Actually, I don't know what you could possibly miss about

Texas. I don't want to say downer or that you've been a bit blech, but it's

bumming us all out at home.

Are you even listening to me?

Yeah, sorry. It's just not a big deal.

And I'm not super excited about being back.

The new old newlyweds don't help either. But what if our parents are happy again?

Maybe you should give it a real shot.

You know, find something here that you care about.

Please?

For me?

And he's gone. Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

How was your first practice?

What? Oh, cheer.

Awful. Terrible.

Really? I don't think it's for me. It's nothing like dance at all. There's these

crazy flying moves and everybody's kicking and... I'm gonna quit.

You don't have to quit. I told you, I don't care that you made it.

Yeah, but I never wanted to cheer.

But they wanted you and not me, so at least give it a try.

Yo, welcome back.

So...

You back for good now?

Guess so.

Parents are still trying to make it work.

I don't really have much of a choice.

Just like the old days, huh?

I heard you're managing the football team nowadays.

Yeah, my dad always told me I was going to be running back, but I found out that

you had to be fast for that.

So, not really my thing.

Thing is, I was a quarterback for my old school.

We made it to state last year. No way, TK, that's awesome.

I was going to see if you could maybe help me talk to the captain.

See if there's any spots opening up.

TK, you know I always got your back, but, I mean, we've been pretty filled up

this year and had a lot of people step up since you've been gone.

Come on. Like you said, it'll be like the old days.

All right, let's see what Ty says.

Thanks, Flash.

Wrong side of the bed?

Thanks. I'm just teasing.

What's wrong?

Everything.

I feel like it's either homework or working at Junior's.

And I picked up two extra shifts to help my mom with money.

Your mom's a lot of work.

According to her, at least.

Sometimes I wish I could just sip lattes with the chicken girls and not worry

about money.

Is this the part where you offer to cover my shift?

Wish I could, but, you know, Tuesdays are our busiest day.

Couldn't be working at Junior's when I'm 80.

Good things come to those who wait.

And in conclusion, daylight savings not only kills your circadian rhythm, it

causes traffic accidents, and it makes talking to people in different time

zones nearly impossible.

Thank you, Ellie. Those are some good points.

Yes, Carlos.

Wrong, and I'll tell you why. First, more daylight means more productivity.

and therefore more money for corporations.

Because they need more money.

Second, more daylight means more time for activities and less time for crimes

that are oftentimes committed in the dark of night.

Spoken like a true criminal.

What was that, Ellie? Nothing.

Hey.

Hey, Rick. What's up?

I was just wondering if we could talk.

Sure. Hit me.

Let me guess.

You're wondering why I'm a cheerleader when I'm dressed like I could be in an

indie band?

Now that you mention it. It was never really on my radar, but one thing my mom

always taught me was that I should try anything at least once.

So I tried cheer.

Next thing I knew, I was captain.

Does it ever make you question your identity?

Like, weird out your friends.

People who judge me in this outfit are on the sidelines.

I just asked myself, have they been accepted to Yale?

You're going to Yale?

Another plot twist, am I right?

I don't think anyone should be boxed in by social constructs. I can be

aggressive, but I can also be aggressive.

Want to help me Photoshop this? One of the layers is off.

Hashtag Tuesday Tea. Get ready, because I'm about to spill it all.

Oh yeah?

It's about to be like TMZ, the high school years.

In one corner, TK and Rhyme Time.

In another, why can't Robby see when I call him?

And in the other, can we cheer Quinn up?

Tuesday? Hilarious.

Oh, oh, you know those, um, triple ice mocha macchiato things that you make

that are so delicious?

You mean the macchiatos?

Yeah, those. I would like a whole round available for the chicken girls.

No, I know it's not tea per se, but they're delish.

So then, anything for the famous chicken girls?

Okay, great.

See you later.

Sorry, bro, no.

No? Look, these guys have been busting their butts off for years during this

spot. I get it, but why can't I practice with... Sorry, look, no can do.

Rules.

All right, hey, come try out for us in the fall.

Nah, that's cool.

Okay.

Oh, whoa, man, I'm sorry.

I got it.

I'm Wes, by the way.

I know who you are.

So that was a decent cappuccino, but I would like a cappuccino yes. So we're

going to try that again, but with a little more gusto.

Yes, and please don't forget my Ralph Macchiato.

Who? The karate kid. Oh, and mine needs to be made with unsweetened almond milk.

Got it.

She's going to be so surprised. So stupid.

That is the coolest.

And I'm late.

Wait, what did you want to talk about?

Oh, um, nothing.

I'll see you at practice tomorrow.

Oh, hi.

I'm sorry I'm going to get you just late.

Sorry.

Girl, you are so late. You're early for next week's Tuesday Tea. I know. I got

distracted with the...

school project.

Okay, we all know you're a big shot cheerleader now.

Barely on the team.

Shh, she's coming, she's coming.

Hi cousin, can I take your order?

Ah, yes.

I was wondering if you guys have any Canadian oolong tea?

Preferably long grain.

Canadian oolong?

Yeah.

You know what?

I'm tired of waiting hand and foot on all of you like I'm Cinderella.

Look, maybe I'm not a part of your super special girl gang or whatever, but I'm

still a person and I deserve to be- Surprise!

Wait, wait, what is this?

Well, we're so lucky to have you as our friend and now to be a part of our super

special girl gang.

That was really cool of you guys.

She's been wanting that for a while.

Did she tell you that?

Yeah, it was kind of obvious.

Guess you're right.

So, Astrid's a chicken girl and you're a cheerleader.

Or is that something that you decided not to do?

I've thought about it.

And I think I'm going to give it a shot. I mean, I can be aggressive, but I can

also be e-aggressive.

I gotta say, cheerleader or not, you're pretty cute.

Thomas,

are you okay?

I don't know.

I thought we weren't going to speak for a while.

I know. I just miss you.

I miss Texas.

Did something bad happen?

I just don't belong here.

I want to see you.

You're the best boyfriend, Tommy. I knew you wouldn't leave me.

Next time on Chicken Girls. Where do you think you're going?

This place has really changed.

I've changed.

Looks like we got a little company.

Let's get the show on the road.

It's just a game ride.

You can do it, sophomore.
