[announcer] Brought to you by The Committee to Fund Prom.

Proms don’t grow on trees.

Dig deep, kids.

Proms don’t grow on trees.

Kiff. Barry. Can I count on your support?

This year’s theme is Jungle Clam.

Huh, I thought the students voted for Jungle Glam.

Was that a G? That makes more sense.

Well, too late now. Got all those clams.

Anything to help.

We love teenagers.

Mm. Jungle Glam. Jungle Clam...

Barry, your sister just asked Kyle Lyon to prom.

What?

But Kyle Lyon is sweethearts with Michaela Oats.

[scoffs] Uh, no. He’s available now.

- Where have you two been? - This makes no sense.

Michaela and Kyle are the best couple.

Okay, so Kyle and Michaela were sweethearts,

but then last weekend Michaela texted Kyle twice.

First text: that she was going away with Danny Wibbon’s family

to their beach house.

And, second text.

"Do not expect to hear from me." Yeah.

[gasps] She broke up with him?

Over text?

- Two texts. - That’s so cold.

[Trevor] What makes this interesting

is that Danny Wibbon reportedly walked Vanilla Tigner

to the bus last week.

Oh, my gosh, how did we not know this?

We’re so out of the loop.

- [cell phone buzzes and rings] - Hold on a sec.

Go for Trev. Uh-huh.

No. Are you sure?

Okay, this just in.

My sources have confirmed that Michaela Oats

just asked Ben Bamboo to prom.

- What? - What?

What about Danny Wibbon?

What is happening?

[panicked chatter]

[panting] Too much drama!

Oh, prom is gonna be lit!

Oh, if only we could be flies on the wall.

[laughs] I’d want to be more than a fly, if you know what I mean.

[slurps] I heard there’s gonna be a chocolate fondue fountain.

[moans]

Barry, Trevor?

I have something important to ask you.

Will you...

crash prom with me?

Yes, of course.

I’m already there.

[techno music blaring]

[laughing]

[inaudible]

Yes. The perfect spot to stay on top of all the drama.

People always gossip over punch.

Oh, look.

Okay, so Danny Wibbon is back with Vanilla Tigner?

What? Well, that’s news to me.

- [dance song plays] - [partygoers cheer]

Oh, I can’t hear a thing.

- I gotta get closer. - No, Trevor, wait.

[grunts]

[crashes]

- He’s gonna get caught. - Hey, check it out.

Aw, look, the boys are comparing cummerbunds.

[camera shutters clicking]

It really is a magical evening.

Oh. Oh, no.

- Oh, Trevor, what are you doing? - Oh, this’ll never work.

He’s obviously just a kid with a fake mustache.

[in deep voice] Hello. I am T-Dog.

Backup drummer... for the band?

For the prom?

Of course. Right this way, sir.

[dance music blaring]

- Huh. - Go, Trev.

Hey, are you the backup drummer? Thank goodness you’re here.

Our drummer has hay fever. Come on.

Look!

Kyle Lyon and Terri Buns have entered the building.

[Barry] Okay, Kyle Lyon and my sister. No surprise there.

I’m surprised Terri asked him to go.

She doesn’t strike me as a prom person.

Oh, she’s not.

She thinks being crowned prom queen will help her socials.

[gasps] They just strolled by Michaela,

and Kyle didn’t even acknowledge her.

Now Michaela is dragging Ben Bamboo onto the dance floor,

and she’s making a big deal about how much fun she’s having

in a thinly-veiled attempt to make Kyle jealous.

Hold the phone! Now Kyle is totally ignoring her

and dragging Terri onto an adjacent part of the dance floor

and making and even bigger deal about how much fun he’s having!

Oh!

I’m having so much fun!

Drop the balloons!

[all] Drop the balloons!

Drop the balloons!

[both] Uh-oh.

[all cheer]

I’m slipping.

They’re too powerful.

Barry!

[both scream]

Nobody noticed us.

We’re safe for now, but what about when all these balloons start to disperse?

Follow my bounce.

[strumming]

Hey, so our first song doesn’t have any drums.

It’s kind of what we’re known for.

- Sick! - But be ready on my cue

for the next song, which is mostly drums.

Sick.

Two, three, four!

[plays chords]

[cheering]

[sniffing]

[Trevor groaning]

[laughs]

Little dude, that’s your cue!

[sizzling]

Little dude!

[drumming expertly]

Okay, girl. Spill.

- What? - I’m your best friend.

I can tell when something’s wrong.

- Oh, I really want Kyle back. - [gasps]

I don’t know what happened.

I went on vacation with my family friend...

"Family friend"?

...and I sent three texts to Kyle, you know,

explaining that the cell reception was bad.

Sure, sure.

And the next thing I know,

Kyle is going to prom with Terri Buns.

Terri Buns!

Ugh!

[Kiff] Three texts?

Do you hear voices?

Of course.

That missing text must have been about the cell reception,

and would have changed the meaning of,

"Don’t expect to hear from me." But it never went through,

leading Kyle Lyon to believe that Michaela was breaking up with him.

- Great extrapolating, Barry. - Thank you.

But what about poor Kyle?

He has no idea, and Terri doesn’t even want to be with him.

She just wants to monetize prom court

for her weird social media empire.

We have to tell him.

Middle schoolers in the clam shell?

This is a rental!

Security!

Dang.

Poor Kyle and Michaela.

This is their only prom.

[both sigh]

[Kyle sobbing]

[sniffling]

[both] Kyle Lyon?

Shouldn’t you be inside?

They’re about to announce prom king.

They already announced it. Someone else won.

[both] Who?

This year’s prom king...

- T-Dog! - [crowd cheers]

[camera shutters click]

I’m sorry my sister dumped you.

That’s okay.

I only said yes to her to make Michaela jealous.

- Michaela wants to be with you. - She does?

Yes! There was a third text you never received,

and now she’s with Ben Bamboo to make you jealous.

- How do you know all this? - We’ve been stalking you.

Oh, I don’t know what to do right now. I feel crazy.

Look, just go ask her to slow-dance.

Barry and I will take care of the rest.

[dance music playing]

[Principal Secretary] You again? Come with me.

[Trevor] No.

Give them the mic.

[laughs nervously]

Of course, Your Majesty.

So, uh, we’re gonna need some incredible drumming.

how many are here with a date just to make someone else jealous?

Huh. All right. And how many couples were originally part of a bet,

but now you’re starting to have real feelings?

Okay. Any other, uh, undercover cops?

Uh, magazine reporters?

Time travelers trying to set up their parents?

Well, I encourage everyone to communicate better,

starting with yourself.

Be with the people you really want to be with.

This is your only prom.

T-Dog, take us home.
