Oh, hey, Chloe, somebody lent me her foil for practice.

Oh! Yeah, just give that back to Doc.

Sure! And Doc is...

Standing next to Toaster Pastry.

Right. How could I have missed that?

And Toaster Pastry is...

Oh! Sorry, Sydney.

Toaster Pastry is Melissa, and Doc is Dylan.

Oh, you all have nicknames? Hey, maybe mine could be

"Girl Who Does Not Know Anybody's Nickname."

Don't worry about it. It usually just happens

when we're goofing around at lunch and stuff. Hey, Doc!

What up, Flip Flop?

Oh, thanks for letting me borrow this,

Doc. I bet I know why they call you Doc.

It's because you wanna be a doctor.

Nah, it's 'cause I fell off a dock.

Hey, Sydney, me and the other girls were about to get ice cream.

You should come.

Who knows, maybe you might get a nickname.

Ooh! What's your favorite flavor?

-Vanilla. -I got it!

Sydnilla. Boom!

(weak chuckle) We'll find it.

Ice cream sounds great. I will just grab my bag and...

Oh, wait. I forgot I have plans with my friends.

Hey, no worries. Catch you next time.

Yeah. Catch you on the flip... flop!

(cafeteria chatter, laughter)

I'm so excited. I can't believe they turned

"Werewolf Girlfriend" into a movie!

Yep! First the book, then the show,

then the movie, then the ride.

Man, I love reading!

Olive: I can't wait.

Hey, Syd, which theater should we see it at?

-Totally. -Totally?

Totally...

you should listen...

to your heart?

She's so wise,

even when she doesn't know what we're talking about.

Syd, you okay?

Sorry, I was just distracted by the fencing team.

I felt kinda left out yesterday at practice.

I didn't realize how much time they've been spending together.

Some people have to hang out

with the same people all the time.

Not me! I've got you guys!

Would it be okay if I sat with them?

Just this once. You know, to catch up.

You mean switch tables?

Is that even legal?

Guys, come on. It's one lunch.

If Syd wants to sit with the team, she should sit with them.

Yeah. I think we're good enough friends

to get through one Syd-free lunch.

Thanks, guys. You're the best.

-Hey, guys. -Sydney! Come sit by me.

Wow. I've never sat on this side of the cafeteria before.

Oh, you can see where the food gets prepared.

I'm not sure I need to see that.

Shoot! I forgot to return my library book yesterday.

Oh. Mrs. Francisco is gonna be all up in your face.

Oh, you mean like this?

(imitating): Why would you be in the library

if you can't read a due date?

(laughter)

That's a perfect Mrs. Francisco!

I mean, I know she works hard and she's underpaid,

but still. Nailed it!

(laughter)

Ooh! Syd, you know what we should call you?

Francisco. Boom!

Yay! I have a nickname!

All: Francisco!

Hey, Mom. How was your day?

Sit down and tell me all about it.

What did you do?

Hey! Can't a son want to spend time

with his delightful mother?

Wait, do you just wanna spend time with me

because the skate park's closed for repairs,

Leo's busy with dance crew, and you're bored?

Yes.

Okay, I'll take it.

Great! Let's play a game.

Would you rather have everything you touch taste like hot dogs,

or have everything you touch never taste like hot dogs,

including hot dogs?

Okay, it's official. You need a hobby.

This better not be code for tutoring again.

Let's see, what would be good for you?

Leo's got dance crew...

That's it! I'll join Leo's dance crew.

That tutor was right.

You do always pick the first answer.

This is nice, Mom. I don't know why we don't do this more of--

-(doorbell rings) -That's Leo! I'm good.

Wow. A whole 45 seconds, and it's not even my birthday.

Leo! Guess what? I'm gonna join your dance crew.

(laughing) Good one, Max.

Oh, you're serious?

I miss hanging out with you.

Besides, you're always doing stuff I wanna do.

It's about time I did something you care about.

Great... But there's one little problem.

To be in dance crew,

you have to occasionally, you know,

dance?

Teach me!

Okay. Fine.

Let's see what you got.

Try this.

(hip-hop music playing)

Okay.

(hip-hop music continues)

Something like that?

Yeah. That'll do.

So, Syd, how was lunch with the team?

It was great. They even gave me a nickname.

-Ooh, what is it? -I'll give you a hint.

(imitating): Why would you be in the library

if you can't read a due date?

Mrs. Francisco!

I'm glad I got to bond with the team.

Thanks for being so understanding.

No problem. Although the table did feel oddly imbalanced.

Yeah, I almost fell over.

But that could be an inner ear thing.

Well, no worries 'cause I'll be back in my usual seat tomorrow.

Good 'cause the seat really missed you.

Okay, it was me.

Francisco!

Flip Flop! Doc!

-Loved chillin' with you at lunch. -Loved it even more.

Can't wait to do it again tomorrow.

Right, tomorrow. Oh, wait--

-Gonna be awesome. -Boom!

Yeah, boom...

(knock on the door)

Can you believe it? I got a camera citation at school

for speeding on my luggage buggy!

I thought they banned luggage buggies on campus.

Which is why I was going so fast, so they wouldn't see me.

And you were texting?

Whose side are you on?

Pedestrians?

Anyway, the dean suspended me from all sorority events.

That means parties, Max. Parties.

You know, those things you never go to.

-Hey, Syd, how was school? -Not great.

What do you do when you have two friend groups

and you wanna sit with both of them at lunch?

Oh, man. I had exactly the same problem

when I was your age. I had Leo,

and there was this whole group of skater kids

that begged for me to sit with them.

Well, they didn't beg, but they wanted me to.

Well, wanted is a strong word. Okay, there was no other group.

So, go on.

I told the Four Amigas that I'd sit with them,

but I also promised the fencing team that I'd sit with them.

So, which group do you wanna sit with?

I wanna hang out with both of them,

but which ever one I choose, the other's gonna hate me.

Well, good thing you have someone who knows

exactly how to deal with this situation.

Mom!

-Syd! Welcome back to the table. -Good to be back.

Oh, my gosh, you guys. I have to tell you

what my doofus brother did.

(laughter)

It's a long story.

I can't wait to hear it.

Gonna run to the bathroom. Be right back.

-Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late. -Hey, Francisco.

We're about to vote on team jackets.

Oh, I wouldn't wanna miss that. What are the choices?

Well, we just narrowed it down to hoodie, crew neck, windbreaker,

pullover, half-zip, three-quarter zip, polo, and vest.

(laughter)

I say we move it right along and get to that vote.

Good idea. Should we vote with our eyes open or closed?

While you guys decide, I'm gonna go grab a drink.

-So, where were we? -Right.

So, Shane decides to sneak out of the house.

He climbs out his window, slips, and ends up in the emergency room.

-Oh, my gosh. -That's horrible.

Aw, so cute.

Cute?

You know what would go great with this story?

You actually listening to it?

Yes! Cookies!

So, you guys ready to vote yet?

Oh, just waiting for Bootsy to get back with her pudding.

(laugh) Oh, that Bootsy and her pudding.

Be right back.

-I'm back. -Where are the cookies?

Oh. I said I was going to the bathroom.

For cookies? I'll pass.

Oh, good, Bootsy's back.

Syd, what's going on?

Okay.

I told the fencing girls that I'd eat with them today,

but I had already promised that I'd sit with you.

-You were eating lunch at both tables? -And you owe me a cookie.

Wait, you have FOMO.

I don't have FOMO. It's just that

when I was over here, I felt like I was missing out

on what was going on over there,

and then when I was over there, like I was missing out

on what was going on over here.

Whoa. I do have FOMO.

-Why didn't you just tell us the truth? -I should've.

I'm sorry. I guess I feel like

I need to spend more time with the fencing team.

Is that okay?

Syd, we understand.

You wanna feel like you're a part of the team.

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it.

-Of course. -We get it.

I don't.

But, I'm sure I'll get there.

-Hey, Pete. -Sup, Max?

Wait, why are you dressed up like

my grandpa when he goes mall walking?

I'm about to try out for Leo's hip-hop dance crew.

Really? But the skate park just reopened.

-What? -Yeah. They finished it early!

No way! Sweet, I'll meet you there.

I just gotta get out of this audition.

Max! You all set?

The crew's ready for you.

-Thanks, Leo, but-- -Hey!

You don't have to thank me.

I'm just really touched you wanna do something I care about.

Means a lot, buddy.

Then, let's do it!

Guys! This is the natural talent I told you about,

Max Reynolds.

This kid's gonna blow your mind.

Hey, Max. Leo tells us you can bust hard.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm more of a soft buster,

medium soft at most.

Don't be so modest, man! You've got this.

Double knot your laces

because this guy's about to knock your socks off.

(hip-hop music playing)

(laughing)

-(hip-hop music stops) -Sorry, Leo.

I don't think this kid's gonna be a good fit for our crew.

Come on! Give him one more chance.

-He's just nervous. Yeah. -(laughing)

Listen, all right? You got this.

Just pretend we're in your living room, and these guys are furniture, okay?

Guys, act more like furniture!

No, Leo.

Jordan's right. I don't have what it takes.

I just hope someday I can find something that makes me happy.

Okay, later.

And last but not least, she makes a great first impression.

In fact, she's great at all impressions.

It's Sydney "Francisco" Reynolds!

(applause)

Thank you, girls, but...

(imitating): Take your eyes off those boys.

You're here to check out books.

(all laughing)

(awkward laughter)

That's perfect.

Dad, you've never even met Mrs. Francisco.

Well, I wouldn't have laughed if I knew you were gonna point that out.

Mom, you've been staring at that phone all night.

I can't help it.

Do you know how many parties I'm missing

because of that stupid citation?

Party. Party. Party.

(gasp) Oh! Adorable mini-pig in a tuxedo.

At a party.

What's the theme of that party?

Obviously fancy farm, Max.

Hey, Dad, we don't need those drinks after all.

The party's wrapping up, so everyone's heading out.

It was the kale chips and the trail mix, wasn't it?

You had to be a showoff, Max.

Hey, since it's early,

I'm gonna go over and surprise Olive. I haven't seen her in a while.

I'm really glad you and the girls worked it out.

I know. They have been so great about me hanging out with the team.

I have the best best friends in the world.

And the coolest dad, since you're handing out grades.

-And the coolest dad. -Go, have fun.

Fun? Fun? What am I missing?

Syd and I are just talking.

Well then, I'd appreciate it if you didn't use the word "fun."

I'm having a very hard time tonight.

-Hey, Syd. -Olive?

Emmy? Sofia?

What's going on?

Werewolf Girlfriend: The Movie opens tonight,

and we're going.

And you didn't invite me?

But, we always do "Werewolf Girlfriend" stuff together.

We wanted to, but you said you had your fencing party tonight.

Well, good news. I can go now.

-But you don't have a-- -Costume? Right.

That's okay. I can make it work. I just need some ears.

And-and-and maybe a claw.

-But Sydney-- -And Sophia, you don't really need

both of those sideburns, do you?

-(hair rips) -Ow.

Look, I'm werewolf-ready.

Actually, Syd, what we were trying to tell you

-is there are no more tickets. -What?

It's completely sold out. It's opening night.

Oh.

Sorry, Syd.

Maybe we can go a different night instead.

No, it's opening night.

I wouldn't want you to miss that.

I should probably leave.

I don't wanna make you guys late.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yes! Go, have fun. I'll be fine.

(door shuts)

Would now be a bad time to text Syd for my sideburn back?

Mom, cute outfit, but I think you're missing something.

Your mind!

Who cares? I'm off probation,

and I've got six parties tonight,

-each with a different theme. -(beeping)

Oh! My ride share's here.

Aloha, partner.

Oh, you're back so soon? Olive not home?

Uh, no, she was there with Emmy and Sophia.

They were on their way to see the Werewolf Girlfriend movie...

-without me. -Wow, why would they do that?

It's not their fault. I've been busy with the team,

-so they made other plans. -Well, I guess that's bound to happen

-when you have two groups of friends. -Exactly.

Which is why I'm quitting the fencing team.

What? But you love it.

And the girls have such cool names.

Dog, Flip Flap, Toaster Oven.

And, yeah, the girls are great,

but I feel like I'm losing my best friends.

But you don't have to quit. Why can't you just hang out

with the fencing team a little less?

Because that's how this all started. If I don't hang out with the team,

I feel like an outsider, and I don't wanna go back to that.

-But Syd-- -Dad, my mind's made up.

(knock on the door)

-Hey, Leo. -Hey, Ms. Reynolds.

How's our Max doing? He had a tough day.

Really? He seemed pretty happy

-when he left for the skate park. -Skate park?

Yeah, they reopened it today.

Oh. So, he must've blown the audition on purpose.

That's why his bustin' was such a bust!

Oh, that boy is busted!

I have no idea what you're talking about, but if you need me to get mad at him,

I can warm up my yelling voice.

Don't worry, Ms. Reynolds.

I'll take care of Max.

-(keys rattling) -Oh, that's him.

I'm gonna go accidentally overhear from the kitchen.

(keys rattle, door unlocks)

Hello, Max.

Leo!

What are you doing here?

-Don't you have dance crew? -Oh, no, no, no.

After the way they treated you? I quit.

You what?

No, you love dance crew. You have to go back.

Oh, I can't go back. No.

Not the way I left. In the dance world, this...

means you're dead to me.

Once you...

there's no coming back.

Sure you can.

No way. After this...

I'm never gonna dance again.

No, Leo! You have to.

It-It's my fault.

I tanked my audition so I could go to the skate park.

(gasp) I'm flabbergasted.

I'm sorry. I was selfish.

Excuse me? You were w-w-what?

Selfish. A jerk. A liar.

Yeah, keep going. I'll tell you when to stop.

(scoffs) Max,

I didn't really quit the crew.

You didn't?

You made it all up just to make me feel guilty?

Yes, I did.

That's okay. I guess I deserved it.

Yes, you did.

Okay, I know what I did was wrong, but...

there's one thing I didn't lie about.

I missed you.

You're my best friend.

Oh, man. You had to go there?

Does that mean you forgive me?

That's what best friends do.

That was so touching.

Way to mess with him, Leo.

-Francisco. -Oh, hey, Doc. Um, where's Chloe?

I need to talk to her about something.

She's running a little late, so I'm leading the team

in some gentle stretching.

Make it hurt, dudes!

Oh, hey guys. What are you doing here?

We just wanted to say hi.

Yeah, we felt kinda bad about last night.

Which, by the way, you didn't miss a thing.

-I didn't? -No!

First of all, the movie was so predictable.

Typical love story.

Boy meets werewolf. Boy loses werewolf.

Boy gets eaten by werewolf.

And that wasn't even the worst part!

All the employees dressed up, so there was werewolf hair

-in our popcorn. -(gag)

I'm still finding it.

Wow. I'm sorry it was such a bad night.

Yeah. I certainly wouldn't go quitting any teams over it.

Emmy!

What? You said not to say fencing, and I didn't.

Whoops.

Let me guess. My dad called you?

Yeah.

We made the movie sound bad so you wouldn't quit the team.

It's so important to you.

Look, I appreciate it,

but the team is just taking up too much of my time.

And I don't wanna lose you guys.

I have to quit fencing.

What?

Did you just say you're quitting?

(sigh) I'm sorry.

But, we've gotten so close.

Is it the nickname? We can change it.

You just have to fall off something.

She's afraid she's gonna lose us if she stays in the fencing team.

Sydney, I get what you're going through.

-You do? -When I joined fencing,

I couldn't spend a lot of time with my other friends.

In fact, I lost some.

And you know what I realized?

They weren't real friends.

But we are, and we aren't going anywhere.

Yeah. You can't get rid of us.

We're like werewolf hair in popcorn.

(gag)

That part was true.

Aw. You really are the best best friends in the world.

Thank you.

Okay, I won't quit the fencing team.

(cheering)

Okay, we better go before they start stabbing things.

Great, but I'll see you guys at lunch. Bring it in.

All: Four Amigas!

Welcome back, Francisco.

(imitating): Good to be back. Now, hand me my foil, and let's get busy.

(laughter)

Who's ready to watch some Werewolf Girlfriend?

(howling)

(all howl)

Aw, my little girl's becoming a werewolf.

I am so not looking forward to the teenage werewolf years.

You won't believe it! I got another camera citation!

-I'm banned from parties again. -How'd you get this one, Grandma?

Trying to take down the citation camera.
