00:00:10Everyone has got a secret side
00:00:15A winding path up to a door that's open wide
00:00:19You think you know me, but I'm changing all the time
00:00:23Cause if I wanna be sweet, if I wanna be wild
00:00:26If I wanna cry like a child
00:00:29If I pick up the world in the palm of my hand
00:00:31I guess that's just who I am
00:00:35This is me, can't ignore it
00:00:38Reaching out, breaking free
00:00:44Constantly, pulling forward
00:00:48Yeah, I'm just going for it
00:00:53This is me
00:01:04Sometimes life is a confusing thing
00:01:08When I talk it seems like no one's listening
00:01:12Tried to be an angel, but I just can't find my wings
00:01:17Cause I wanna be sweet, but I wanna be wild
00:01:20And I wanna live by my own style
00:01:22So I make a mistake
00:01:23Then I do it again
00:01:25Better do it the best that I can
00:01:27This is me
00:01:30This is me
00:01:30This is me
00:01:30Can't ignore it
00:01:32Reaching out
00:01:34Breaking free
00:01:36Constantly
00:01:38Falling forward
00:01:41Yeah, I'm just going for it
00:01:46This is me
00:01:48More than what you see
00:01:53Finding out who I can be
00:02:12Wow, this is an impressive band practice
00:02:15For your information, we rehearsed for like a full ten minutes
00:02:18I'd say ten
00:02:19Easily ten
00:02:20Actually eight if you count the snack run
00:02:23A full eight minutes
00:02:27Uh, I'm gonna pretend Courtney was aiming that sharp projectile at the stereo and let it go
00:02:32Generous
00:02:33I know, I'm a giver
00:02:34It's one of the things you love about me
00:02:36What's up, Kev?
00:02:38Uh, sunset?
00:02:39Night before school?
00:02:41Sound familiar?
00:02:42I didn't realize how late it had gotten
00:02:43We gotta go
00:02:44Time flies when you're not rehearsing
00:02:46Shotgun!
00:02:47You can't call shotgun until you see the car
00:02:51Shotgun!
00:02:51Um, you're driving
00:02:53I know, I just wanted to win
00:03:06This is it
00:03:07When that sun sets, summer is officially over and sophomore year begins
00:03:11Oh, I'm ready
00:03:12I have my first ten outfits picked out
00:03:14I even numbered my jeans so I wouldn't accidentally wear the same pair twice in a row
00:03:18Wow, way to make the rest of us feel like total slackers
00:03:22You made 26 movies this summer, Kevin
00:03:25I wouldn't exactly call that slacking
00:03:26Nah, I wouldn't call a series of short films starring school supplies an awesome summer
00:03:30But I did like the one where the paperclips came to life and chained out my e-book
00:03:34I didn't waste my summer
00:03:35I spent the whole time practicing this
00:03:46Okay, I guess I did waste my summer
00:03:48I think you guys have it backwards
00:03:49Don't think of it as wasting a summer
00:03:52Think of it as saving up energy for an awesome sophomore year
00:03:57You guys, it's time
00:03:58Make a wish
00:03:59You first
00:04:00Okay
00:04:02I wish I could anchor the school news channel
00:04:05Since when?
00:04:07I thought about it last year when I was helping out at the station
00:04:09I think that's fantastic, Barbie
00:04:12You should go for it
00:04:13Last year, I just felt like I blended into the lockers
00:04:16This year, I want everything to change
00:04:20Oh
00:04:21Okay, my turn
00:04:22I wish that I kick butt as a drummer this year
00:04:25I wish I get elected as class president
00:04:30What?
00:04:31You can't see your wish out loud
00:04:33You'll totally jinx it
00:04:34We just did
00:04:35I know
00:04:36Sorry about that
00:04:38Could have been a great year for you guys
00:04:43I'm okay
00:04:45I'm okay
00:05:09I can't believe we're sophomores
00:05:11And before you know it
00:05:12We're juniors
00:05:13And then seniors
00:05:14And then we're totally in college
00:05:15Great
00:05:16Maybe by then I'll have brush that tangles out of my hair
00:05:20Whatever happens
00:05:21It's a whole new year
00:05:22And I have a good feeling about it
00:05:24Maybe you're right
00:05:25Check out that parking spot
00:05:27See?
00:05:29Our luck is changing
00:05:33Oh, I'm sorry
00:05:34Were you guys going for this spot?
00:05:37How awkward
00:05:38It's for the best
00:05:39You saved her the embarrassment of parking that junk heap
00:05:41Where people can actually see it
00:05:44How nice of me
00:05:45Hey, Raquel
00:05:46I'm happy
00:05:47Mom, did I miss you?
00:05:49How good is this stuff?
00:05:52Yeah, how nice of her
00:05:55So anyway, I thought if I wear my hair up
00:05:56I'll have that studious presidential look
00:05:58And survive the Jeep rides
00:06:09Barbie
00:06:11Having a crush on Mr. Hottie's school jock guy is a cliche
00:06:14And frankly, I think you're better than that
00:06:16Please, you're saying that Barbie shouldn't crush on the hottest guy in school
00:06:19Just because he's the hottest guy in school
00:06:21I'm saying there are
00:06:22Um, hi
00:06:23Still here
00:06:24And could you please not announce to the entire school that
00:06:28I think he just smiled at me
00:06:29Shh, here he comes
00:06:32Hey, Barbie
00:06:36Hey, babe
00:06:38Well, it's not so bad
00:06:39At least he remembered your name this time
00:06:41And we lose him to the populace
00:06:44It's just a lawn
00:06:46I don't know why the popular people are the only ones who can hang out there
00:06:49You're right
00:06:50The first thing I'm gonna do when I'm elected is to eliminate click hangouts
00:06:54I mean, imagine a world without social boundaries
00:06:56Where everyone is free to hang out everywhere
00:06:58Everywhere
00:06:59Everywhere
00:07:00Barbie, how's your lady?
00:07:02Barbie
00:07:02Come on over here
00:07:03Good to see ya
00:07:06Staring at something?
00:07:07Tell me you don't still have a crush on my boyfriend
00:07:10Isn't that just sad for you at this point?
00:07:15Observe the teenage witch in her natural habitat
00:07:18I can't believe you used to be friends with her
00:07:20Used to be
00:07:21Like back in fifth grade
00:07:22Before she became Miss I Rule the World
00:07:26Okay
00:07:27I'm gonna go talk to Mr. Wexler
00:07:29Good luck
00:07:30Forget luck, you rock
00:07:31Go kick news anchor butt
00:07:33Thanks
00:07:35I'd rehearsed what I would say
00:07:36I was calm, cool, collected
00:07:39I was ready
00:07:41Mr. Wexler, I wanna talk to you about some-
00:07:43Shh
00:07:44Sure, test scores are up
00:07:46Fitness levels are at an all-time low
00:07:48But what about things we care about?
00:07:50Who's dating who?
00:07:51I wasn't ready for that
00:07:53You want real news?
00:07:54How about this?
00:07:56Who's in, who's out?
00:07:57And what's the latest gossip about?
00:07:59And cut
00:08:00Raquel, that was great
00:08:02Fan news-tastic
00:08:03I think we found ourselves this year's anchor
00:08:05Yes!
00:08:06Yes!
00:08:07Oh hey, I'm sorry Barbie
00:08:09Did you want to tell me something?
00:08:11No
00:08:12It was nothing
00:08:14Listen, I'm glad you're here
00:08:15You're the most dedicated student on our staff
00:08:17We could really use you around the station this year
00:08:19Really?
00:08:20I want to take our news to the next level
00:08:22Be on the tip of every student's tongue
00:08:24And in order for that to happen, Raquel's gonna need a top-notch assistant
00:08:28You can help her with research, go to story meetings, do interviews
00:08:31You get to do absolutely everything an anchor does
00:08:34Except be on air
00:08:36What do you say?
00:08:37Can I count on you?
00:08:38You said yes?
00:08:40It's a stepping stone
00:08:41To what?
00:08:43A lucrative career as a doormat?
00:08:44It's just those words
00:08:47Can I count on you?
00:08:51I can't believe I chickened out
00:08:53I just saw Raquel there all perfect and I froze
00:08:56Something's wrong with me, I'm like terrified of taking risks
00:09:00Come on, that's not true
00:09:02Oh yeah?
00:09:02Name one
00:09:03Name one risk I've taken in the last 16 years
00:09:06I know
00:09:07Remember that time you wore your pajamas to the Waffle House on a dare?
00:09:10That was really-
00:09:11Thrilling
00:09:12I'm totally the most boring person I know
00:09:14Okay, everyone knows that I'm the exciting one
00:09:17T is the hot, intellectual one
00:09:19And you're like the totally awesome, level-headed, kind-hearted glue that holds us all together
00:09:24Glue speaking
00:09:25Don't wanna know
00:09:27But you need to get to the front of the school right now
00:09:31What's up?
00:09:32Hey, check it out
00:09:33I was shooting cheerleader practice and look what wandered into my shot
00:09:36Why were you shooting cheerleader practice, Kevin?
00:09:39Uh, look, do you wanna see the footage or not?
00:09:44I'm just saying we don't have to be together every second
00:09:47Well, if your seconds are so precious, why don't you take all of them?
00:09:52That's not what I meant, I just-
00:09:53Forget it, there are millions of guys who would want to spend every second with me
00:09:57Wow, in love with yourself much?
00:10:00Raquel, so over it
00:10:03Kevin, this is amazing
00:10:05No, no, real human drama caught on tape
00:10:07Come on, you know what I mean
00:10:09Todd and Raquel broke up
00:10:12Well, tonight's movie night with Kevin, but I could call you before
00:10:15How about six?
00:10:16Tia, I gotta go
00:10:17Bye
00:10:20Oh, Todd
00:10:21Oh, hey Barbie
00:10:26I'm glad you're here
00:10:27I think Raquel is absolutely crazy to dump you
00:10:32You're great, and I think we should hang out
00:10:34You took the words right out of my mouth
00:10:38Um, Barbie?
00:10:40Oh, uh, you're blocking my locker
00:10:43Oh, uh, sorry
00:10:47I heard about Raquel dumping you
00:10:49I mean, about your breakup
00:10:51Ow
00:10:52Uh-huh, gotta get your nose out of those books and live a little
00:10:57No, I didn't just say that
00:11:00I'll just, um, never speak again
00:11:05Barbie?
00:11:07Thanks
00:11:08For rubbing in the fact that your girlfriend dumped you, or dropping a book on your nose
00:11:12You're the first person to make me laugh all day
00:11:18Kevin, are you sure you're close enough?
00:11:20Cause there may be a clogged pore you didn't zoom in on
00:11:22Do you want me to help you or not?
00:11:23I need to shoot you close
00:11:25It'll make you seem trustworthy
00:11:27Hi, I'm Tia, and I want to be your sophomore class president
00:11:33Whoa
00:11:34What?
00:11:38I couldn't believe it
00:11:40Todd and I were having a real conversation
00:11:43It's the first time I've ever gotten dumped
00:11:45And I have an image to protect, you know?
00:11:47If I let a girl walk all over me
00:11:49How do you think I'll do against a pack of 300 pound defensive linemen?
00:11:52My grandmother used to say, what other people think of you is none of your business
00:11:57Your grandmother sounds like a cool lady
00:12:00Hey, can I give you a ride home?
00:12:03He drove you home?
00:12:05You're totally in
00:12:06What did he say?
00:12:08What did you say?
00:12:09Did he ask you out?
00:12:10No
00:12:10I mean, I wouldn't know
00:12:13It's not like that
00:12:14At least, I don't think it's like that
00:12:16He just broke up with Raquel
00:12:19I gotta go
00:12:20Kevin's here for movie night
00:12:21We're up to letter N
00:12:22Call you later
00:12:24So, you and the Toddster
00:12:26He's nice
00:12:28He just wanted someone to talk to
00:12:30It's not like he's into me
00:12:32Come on, why wouldn't he be?
00:12:34Right
00:12:34Who wouldn't want to date the girl too chicken to even speak up for herself in front of Wexler?
00:12:39You were thrown by Raquel's newscast
00:12:41You should talk to Wexler again
00:12:43He's already picked Raquel
00:12:45Hey, maybe you guys can co-anch her
00:12:47As much as sitting next to her every day would turn my stomach
00:12:51That's a semi-not-so-terrible idea
00:12:53Oh, I know
00:12:54I'm full of semi-not-so-terrible ideas
00:12:57It's one of the things you love about me
00:12:59I thought I loved you because you were a giver
00:13:01I'm a complex guy
00:13:03What flick did you bring, complexo?
00:13:05Night of the Ninjas
00:13:07You got snacks?
00:13:09Nachos and Napoleons
00:13:10Covered the salty and the sweet
00:13:12All staying within the letter N
00:13:13Sweet
00:13:14You know, pastries and fried corn chips
00:13:16Are a key staple to the Ninja diet
00:13:18Helps them keep a key in mind and a cool hand
00:13:23Well, I guess you should eat up then
00:13:25Oh no, oh no
00:13:26Oh no, oh no
00:13:28Night of the Ninja Napoleons
00:13:29Oh no, look out
00:13:31It's going for the hair
00:13:31Let's go for the hair
00:13:33I want you to make sure the lighting is good
00:13:34So I talked to Wexler
00:13:36I laid out all the reasons why I should be Anchor
00:13:38I even told him that red was a good color on him
00:13:40He couldn't say no
00:13:42No, I'm sorry, Barbie
00:13:43Raquel already has a co-anchor
00:13:45Right, of course
00:13:46I just Barbie. I'm just not sure you're ready to anchor Raquel is exciting. She's fresh and fun
00:13:51She's got some ideas for some really innovative stories stuff that hooks people now if you had a great story
00:13:56I'd consider letting you anchor it, but
00:13:59Assistant Barbie, we'll talk about this later
00:14:02Hmm red is a good color on me
00:14:05Yes, I need water. I'm parched the coolers right there. I know you're such a love. Thanks. I
00:14:14Hate my life
00:14:18Barbie Oh Todd hi Barbie my water and tell Todd we're over. I have no desire to see him
00:14:28I'm sorry Todd, but her majesty doesn't want to see you good. I came to see you
00:14:36The chance to go to the fall formal with Todd the man of her dreams she said yes
00:14:41Of course she said yes. She'd be insane not to say yes, but you did say yes. Yes. Yes
00:14:46Yes, and he asked me to come to football practice. What do you wear to watch football practice?
00:14:54Let's go boys get it harder
00:14:55No
00:14:56No!
00:14:57No!
00:14:57No!
00:15:03Let's do I-34 on two
00:15:04Hi hi hi!
00:15:06Hike!
00:15:24Hike!
00:15:25Me too.
00:15:26Huh?
00:15:27Me?
00:15:31Hi.
00:15:34I really should have gone to more games last year, but this year I'm going to make a concerted
00:15:38effort to go more.
00:15:39Oh, my God.
00:15:40...here at the state championships.
00:15:42We just dominated these guys.
00:15:44I have no idea football is so complicated.
00:15:46I mean, we have all those plays you need to memorize, and we've got to keep in shape.
00:15:50I mean, we're both doing a good job.
00:15:57The hottest jock in school is your boyfriend.
00:16:00You're like the first lady.
00:16:02I'm not his girlfriend.
00:16:03We're just going to the fall formal together.
00:16:07I can't believe we're going to the fall formal together.
00:16:10I really couldn't.
00:16:11Every time I thought about Todd, I got all fluttery inside.
00:16:15Hey, wait a sec.
00:16:16How come Barbie's the only one of us who has a date already?
00:16:19Because I'm too focused on the election to date, and the last time a guy asked you out,
00:16:23you've drummed on his chest with a pen and a popsicle stick.
00:16:26I had a riff in my head.
00:16:27I didn't want to forget it.
00:16:29Okay, I have to find the dress that says,
00:16:32I'm a cool, hip, tons of fun girl with a mysterious side.
00:16:35And I have to be able to actually eat dinner and, you know, breathe in it.
00:16:39And it should be strapless, so there aren't sleeves to get caught on doorknobs,
00:16:42and it should be red.
00:16:43I made a list.
00:16:53Oh, look at this.
00:16:55Bejeweled Asian utensils.
00:16:56Cute hair accessories or drumsticks.
00:17:03Shoot.
00:17:08No way.
00:17:09Look out.
00:17:14Maybe we should come back later.
00:17:15Why?
00:17:15You're the one going to the formal with Todd.
00:17:17Yeah, and you're not at the studio, so she can't make you fetch her a latte.
00:17:22Let's get shopping.
00:17:56Wow.
00:17:58This is the one.
00:17:59Right?
00:18:00Totally.
00:18:00You have to buy it.
00:18:01Like, immediately.
00:18:03Hi.
00:18:04I'm gonna get this.
00:18:05Great.
00:18:06Let's ring this up.
00:18:08Hello?
00:18:09Todd!
00:18:10Hey!
00:18:11That's so funny you called.
00:18:12I just picked out my dress.
00:18:13I can't wait for you to...
00:18:16Oh.
00:18:18No, no.
00:18:19I totally understand.
00:18:21No big deal.
00:18:22It's just a dance, right?
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:25I'll see you around.
00:18:27Bye.
00:18:30Was that Todd?
00:18:31I told him he needed to talk to you ASAP.
00:18:34Of course, he doesn't really understand acronyms, but I guess he got the point.
00:18:39Yeah.
00:18:40Congratulations.
00:18:41Todd and Raquel got back together.
00:18:43Last night.
00:18:44Which is really when he should have called you.
00:18:47Hi, Stephanie.
00:18:48I'm taking this.
00:18:50You don't mind if I butt in, right?
00:18:52I mean, you're not still buying that, are you?
00:18:54No.
00:18:55It's fine.
00:18:56You go ahead.
00:18:58What a bummer.
00:18:59Getting dumped.
00:19:01But look at it this way.
00:19:02He only asked you out to get me jealous.
00:19:04So it's not like you're really losing out on anything.
00:19:07Right?
00:19:08Later.
00:19:13I think the word I'm looking for is...
00:19:16She's horrible.
00:19:16She's the reason I'd never go back to high school.
00:19:19I can't believe Todd dumped you like that.
00:19:21You should get it anyway.
00:19:23Let him eat his heart out when he sees how hot you look at the dance.
00:19:26I don't think so.
00:19:27I'd rather just go home.
00:19:30Okay, stop.
00:19:32I can't let you guys leave the store all mopey or people in the mall will think this place is
00:19:36lame.
00:19:38We just got these in yesterday.
00:19:40You're the first to see them.
00:19:41They're bracelets.
00:19:43Not just bracelets.
00:19:44Each one has its own set of charms that you can rearrange.
00:19:48No two will ever be alike.
00:19:50Wow, check this one out.
00:19:52How much are they?
00:19:53These are a gift.
00:19:55No, no, no.
00:19:56I've been exactly where you are.
00:19:59To me that makes us sisters.
00:20:00So pick your bracelet.
00:20:04Excellent choice.
00:20:06That one comes with a diary.
00:20:08One of the charms is a key that opens the book.
00:20:11Just wave it over the lock.
00:20:12I've never kept a diary.
00:20:14So try it.
00:20:15You'd be surprised to discover the power of your own thoughts.
00:20:18Put them on paper and amazing things can happen.
00:20:21Plus it matches the bracelet and it's really cute.
00:20:24Thanks.
00:20:25That's really nice of you.
00:20:27Great.
00:20:27I'll keep this on hold for you in case you change your mind.
00:20:30Thanks.
00:20:31How cool was that?
00:20:33Which part?
00:20:34That she totally scored us on these bracelets?
00:20:36Or that she hated Raquel?
00:20:38Both.
00:20:39Easily both.
00:20:40Yeah, that's great.
00:20:41Now if I could just transfer to another school by tomorrow,
00:20:44everything would be perfect.
00:20:45Oh, Barbie.
00:20:48I felt so stupid and alone.
00:20:51Tia and Courtney were being cool,
00:20:52but they didn't really know what I was going through.
00:20:55There was no one I could talk to.
00:20:57Where you belong.
00:20:59Just look about the place that you fit in.
00:21:01It's too cool to be.
00:21:03I can't.
00:21:04I feel like everyone knows.
00:21:06I can't believe your mom wouldn't let you stay home.
00:21:08Please.
00:21:09Unless I have a raging fever or a disfiguring rash,
00:21:12I have to be in school.
00:21:13It's what you is, know what you isn't.
00:21:17Someday, it'll be so good.
00:21:20I can't believe your mom won't let you stay home.
00:21:23Please.
00:21:23Unless I have a raging fever or a disfiguring rash,
00:21:25you've had to be scared.
00:21:28Come on, come on, come on, go.
00:21:31Come on.
00:21:33Come on, come on, come on.
00:21:37Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:21:38A little, come on.
00:21:38Today, I want to blend into the background,
00:21:41and not get noticed.
00:21:43As I'm sure you're all aware,
00:21:45I don't lie, this test was hard.
00:21:48Courtney, we don't apply makeup in class.
00:21:51Hand it over.
00:21:54Good thing I always have backup.
00:21:55And before anyone comes to me complaining the test was impossible,
00:21:59I offer proof it was not.
00:22:01Someone managed to get a 97.
00:22:03No, not today. Any day but today.
00:22:07Congratulations, Barbie.
00:22:15Way to throw off the curve, Barbie.
00:22:18But you can't really blame her.
00:22:20And now that she doesn't have Todd, her science skills are all she has.
00:22:35Dear Diary, I can't believe I thought this year would be great.
00:22:39Why would I think that anything would change?
00:22:41I'm always gonna be nice, reliable Barbie.
00:22:45Things have been a mess this week,
00:22:46ever since Raquel landed that anchor job and I didn't.
00:22:49I just wish I could show Wexler that I can be exciting.
00:22:54Hey, I heard.
00:22:55Not that it's the talk of the school.
00:22:57I mean, surely people have better things to talk about.
00:23:00Of course, you know, I guess I don't.
00:23:04You okay?
00:23:05No, not even a little bit.
00:23:07Todd is an idiot.
00:23:09No way she should be-
00:23:10It's not just him.
00:23:11I mean, it is.
00:23:12But it's also-
00:23:13Barbie?
00:23:13Yoo-hoo!
00:23:14Barbie!
00:23:15What, Raquel?
00:23:16I need you to do research for my next big story.
00:23:19Fashion.
00:23:20Do any of us have the backbone to go backless?
00:23:23Hm?
00:23:24That's your big story?
00:23:25I-I mean, it's fun and all, but I was thinking-
00:23:28Don't care.
00:23:29If Wexler had wanted what you had to offer, he'd have chosen you.
00:23:32Funny.
00:23:33I could say the same thing about Todd.
00:23:36Research.
00:23:36Fashion magazines, red carpet photos, the whole thing.
00:23:39Thanks.
00:23:39Love ya.
00:23:41She doesn't deserve to be Anchor.
00:23:44Who cares if she's exciting, fresh, and fun?
00:23:46Please.
00:23:47She sounds like a deodorant.
00:23:48Way more fun than she is.
00:23:49Sure, when it's just us.
00:23:51When it's just you or Quarter T, I can be myself.
00:23:53But when I get around everyone else, I freeze up.
00:23:56I just need to break out of-
00:23:58Oh, sorry.
00:24:03My bracelet!
00:24:10Whoa!
00:24:11Pardon me.
00:24:12Ah!
00:24:12Excuse me.
00:24:13Whoa!
00:24:15Excuse me.
00:24:16Oh, that's a hurry.
00:24:17Excuse me.
00:24:17Whoa!
00:24:18Excuse me.
00:24:19Watch out!
00:24:20Ah!
00:24:21Excuse me.
00:24:21That is totally rude.
00:24:27Pardon me.
00:24:30Ah!
00:24:36Huh.
00:24:37Coming through here.
00:24:38Whoa!
00:24:39Whoa!
00:24:40Ah!
00:24:40What are you doing?
00:24:43Gotcha!
00:24:48Fall Formal Band Auditions?
00:24:53You've been a great audience!
00:24:55Thank you!
00:24:56Good night!
00:25:02You signed us up for what?
00:25:04To be the band for the Fall Formal.
00:25:07We audition in a week.
00:25:08I just saw the sign and figured, I don't know, we should go for it.
00:25:11But we've never played in front of anybody.
00:25:14But we could!
00:25:16And Wexler will see that I can be bold and exciting.
00:25:18And for once, people will know me as something other than the girl who ruins the curve.
00:25:23Oh, come on.
00:25:24Wouldn't it be easier to just throw a test or two?
00:25:26Very funny.
00:25:27The point is, being the Fall Formal Band is a risk that I want to take.
00:25:31It automatically makes us someone.
00:25:34Oh.
00:25:34Right.
00:25:35I keep forgetting that I'm no one.
00:25:37Thanks for reminding me.
00:25:38Come on.
00:25:39You said yourself you wanted to kick butt as a drummer this year.
00:25:42And who wouldn't want a rock star as their class president?
00:25:46Okay.
00:25:46But if we're going to do this, we have to do it right.
00:25:49We have to practice every second.
00:25:51I don't want to do it halfway.
00:25:52We will.
00:25:53We'll rock.
00:25:54I know it.
00:25:55Let's do it.
00:25:57Yes!
00:25:59Ah, sweet.
00:26:00Girl hug.
00:26:01I so picked the right time to come in.
00:26:02Kev, Charms is going to audition for the Fall Formal Band.
00:26:06Whoa.
00:26:07Bold move.
00:26:08I like that.
00:26:09Girl hug with Kevin?
00:26:11No?
00:26:12Had to try.
00:26:13You guys do know how to play these things, right?
00:26:16Because come to think of it, I've never actually seen you rehearsing in this garage.
00:26:20Just make sure you wear socks to the formal, because they will be knocked off.
00:26:26So then I thought, why not do a story about the best pedicure within a mile of school?
00:26:31And I'll do the research.
00:26:33Paid for by the station's budget, of course.
00:26:36That's a great idea, Raquel.
00:26:37Totally great.
00:26:39But is it news?
00:26:40Who cares?
00:26:41I get a month's worth of free pedicures.
00:26:44And Wexler went for it.
00:26:45I told him that I have my finger on the pulse of the school.
00:26:48Huh.
00:26:48He couldn't argue with that.
00:26:50Oh, Barbie, I'll be researching my next story myself.
00:26:53So you can take a little R&R.
00:26:55Frankly, you look like you could use the brake.
00:26:59Cool bracelet.
00:27:01Ugh.
00:27:02She doesn't even care about the news.
00:27:04All she cares about is being popular.
00:27:06Uh, that's not true.
00:27:07She cares about making you feel like dirt.
00:27:09Why is that?
00:27:10Why does being popular mean you automatically have to make everyone else feel bad about not being popular?
00:27:16Maybe you should ask Raquel.
00:27:18Yeah.
00:27:20Kevin, you're brilliant.
00:27:22That's news.
00:27:24That's real.
00:27:25Okay, you lost me.
00:27:26But I like the part about me being brilliant.
00:27:28Who in this school wouldn't be hooked by finding out what makes the populars popular?
00:27:33A story on the popular kids.
00:27:36Not just a story.
00:27:37An in-depth study.
00:27:39Why they are like they are.
00:27:40Why they act like they act.
00:27:42You're right.
00:27:42I'm brilliant.
00:27:43It's one of the reasons you love me.
00:27:45Then I show it to Wexler.
00:27:46He sees that I have the know-how and skills to be a real reporter.
00:27:50But wait.
00:27:51Is she exciting?
00:27:52Fresh?
00:27:53Fun?
00:27:53Then he sees you play at the fall formal.
00:27:56And the deal is sealed.
00:27:58Will you help me?
00:27:59Huh.
00:28:00Totally.
00:28:01We should go pitch to Wexler, right?
00:28:03No.
00:28:03Not until it's done.
00:28:05I don't want him giving the assignment to someone else.
00:28:07I just wanna wish.
00:28:10I just wanna live a real life.
00:28:14I wanna live a real life.
00:28:18Wow.
00:28:19That was actually not bad.
00:28:21Uh, I totally warfed the bridge.
00:28:23What's warfed?
00:28:24A combination of wreck and morph.
00:28:26Kevin made it up.
00:28:27And it's bad, right?
00:28:29Hey, girls.
00:28:30How about we stop the etymology lesson and practice?
00:28:33What's etymology?
00:28:35The study of the history of words.
00:28:38I give up.
00:28:39Snack break.
00:28:42And once again, band practice sounds like three girls talking.
00:28:46Hi, Kevin.
00:28:48I brought you something.
00:28:50Okay, now remember.
00:28:51Too much zooming in and out makes your footage seem amateurish.
00:28:54And your entire story will be rough.
00:28:57Kevin, I don't know how to thank you.
00:28:58Well, I heard something about snacks when I was walking up.
00:29:01I'll go grab some more.
00:29:11What?
00:29:12Did you just start liking her?
00:29:14Or did we just start noticing it?
00:29:16What?
00:29:17Oh, I think he's always liked her.
00:29:18It's just that this whole Todd thing brought it to the forefront.
00:29:21What?
00:29:22Look at that.
00:29:23We've rendered him speechless.
00:29:24We should do this more often.
00:29:25What?
00:29:26I don't know what you're talking about.
00:29:28We're talking about your hopeless, desperate, but strangely endearing crush on our friend Barbie.
00:29:32Oh.
00:29:33That.
00:29:34I knew it!
00:29:35You have to tell her.
00:29:36Or we could tell her, but it's probably better coming from you.
00:29:39Unless you want us to tell her.
00:29:40No one is telling her.
00:29:42She doesn't like me like that.
00:29:43She likes Todd.
00:29:44If I tell her, she'll get all weird and we won't be friends anymore and everything will be majorly-
00:29:48And I'm like, I don't know what you're going to say.
00:29:49See?
00:29:49Tell me it's not fun to say.
00:29:51Or you could end up a couple and live happily ever after.
00:29:54Ew.
00:29:54I just grossed myself out.
00:29:56Thanks, Mom.
00:29:57Okay, fine.
00:29:58Maybe I'll tell her.
00:29:59Maybe.
00:29:59But it has to come from me.
00:30:01Promise me you won't say anything.
00:30:03Fine.
00:30:03I promise.
00:30:05Hot out of the oven.
00:30:14What?
00:30:16Nothing.
00:30:17Let's rehearse.
00:30:19Dear Diary, it's one thing to rehearse.
00:30:22It's another to sing in front of the entire student body.
00:30:25What did I get us into?
00:30:27When we're alone in the garage, it's great.
00:30:29But how do you get the courage to be the girl in the garage, in front of hundreds of
00:30:33people?
00:30:36And how do you get the nerve to interview people who've ignored you your entire life?
00:30:42What if they won't talk to me?
00:30:44No, they will.
00:30:44You just have to take it slow, win them over with lots of compliments, and then pull out
00:30:48the hard-hitting questions.
00:30:50Good luck.
00:30:51But I asked somebody about it, and they told me that it had all these robots in it.
00:30:54Hey!
00:30:56I'm sorry, but did we invite you into this conversation?
00:30:59Uh, no.
00:31:00It's just, Regan, you mentioned my bracelet the other day.
00:31:03Oh, right.
00:31:05Yeah, the bracelet's very cool.
00:31:07Don, check it.
00:31:09Very cool.
00:31:10Where'd you get that?
00:31:11You know, in the mall.
00:31:12Over by the Kabob-A-Rama.
00:31:14Hey, is it true you're auditioning for the Fall Formal?
00:31:17Do you like playing an instrument?
00:31:18Yeah.
00:31:19Guitar.
00:31:20And sing.
00:31:21Guitar is really cool.
00:31:23Really?
00:31:23I mean, uh, I hear that Ryan O'Hara's brother's friend's band is playing at the roundabout
00:31:28tomorrow night?
00:31:29Oh, wait!
00:31:30I wanted to ask you if-
00:31:31Hmm.
00:31:33Brilliant reporting, Barbie.
00:31:40Dear Diary, this just in.
00:31:42I'm a lousy reporter.
00:31:44I love the idea of this story, but I need a way to approach the popular crowd.
00:31:49Something to make people notice me.
00:31:50Of course, none of it will matter if I fail school.
00:31:54Which reminds me...
00:31:56Homework.
00:32:00Great.
00:32:01How is it possible that I don't have a highlighter?
00:32:08Lip gloss?
00:32:10Hmm.
00:32:10Disgusting, but doable.
00:32:13Toddy Bear, wait!
00:32:14Raquel, can you please not call me that in front of everyone?
00:32:18Oh, wow.
00:32:19Look, I gotta go.
00:32:19I'll check her later, alright?
00:32:20Too bad Barbie's missing this.
00:32:21Whatever.
00:32:22Okay, speaking of missing, watch me not miss this.
00:32:29Ah!
00:32:30Oops.
00:32:31Sorry.
00:32:33I think I like ending it that way.
00:32:35You guys, hey!
00:32:36Check this out.
00:32:37Court, you will love this.
00:32:39It's a highlighter.
00:32:40You think?
00:32:42Ah!
00:32:43Lip gloss!
00:32:44It's cool, right?
00:32:45I could totally use it in class without getting caught.
00:32:48You're a genius and a rebel.
00:32:50Who are you and what did you do with Barbie?
00:32:52Ha ha ha.
00:32:54Good morning, class!
00:32:56If everyone will take out their homework from last night.
00:32:59Now, question number five was a little tricky.
00:33:03Did anyone here have trouble with it?
00:33:04Anyone?
00:33:06Hey Barbie, this is amazing!
00:33:08Courtney, do you have something to share with the class?
00:33:10Who?
00:33:11Me?
00:33:11Oh, no, Mr. Bennett, just using my highlighter.
00:33:15Stay out.
00:33:15Alright, pass your homework to the front of the class.
00:33:18So, today we're talking about covalent bonds.
00:33:21How amazing was that?
00:33:23You have no idea.
00:33:25I know.
00:33:25Cool, right?
00:33:33You guys, listen to this.
00:33:35Your eyes are blue, your smile is charming, your hair is shiny, your laugh disarming.
00:33:42I won't say who I am, don't want to be too scary, but maybe I'll see you in the library.
00:33:49Hey, who's the poet?
00:33:50I don't know.
00:33:51Nobody signed it.
00:33:53No, wait.
00:33:55You totally have a secret admirer.
00:33:57Come on, that's ridiculous.
00:33:59Right?
00:34:00Who would send this?
00:34:02Barbie?
00:34:03Hey, I saw that thing you gave Courtney, the highlighter lip gloss.
00:34:06Where'd you get that?
00:34:08Actually, I made it.
00:34:09Hey, do you think you could make me one?
00:34:12I can give you all the stuff for it.
00:34:13Yeah, I guess.
00:34:15That'd be excellent.
00:34:17Listen, Dawn's coming over tonight.
00:34:18You should come by and hang out.
00:34:20Text me later.
00:34:21Okay, sure.
00:34:23Uh, hello.
00:34:24We're rehearsing tonight.
00:34:26We have to be ready for this audition.
00:34:27I know.
00:34:28But if I go to Regan's house, I can interview them for my story.
00:34:31Can we push rehearsal like an hour?
00:34:34Ah, you guys are the best.
00:34:38So then, they invited me to hang out with them.
00:34:40Which is kind of weird.
00:34:42But maybe not.
00:34:43Do you think it's weird?
00:34:44I mean, they're just people.
00:34:46Maybe they're not that different.
00:34:47Maybe you should do the story and find out.
00:34:49I can't wait.
00:34:50I want this piece to be completely eye-opening, you know?
00:34:53Something that's never been on the show before.
00:34:55That is, assuming it gets on the show.
00:34:58Are you kidding?
00:34:58You crack the secret of popularity, Wexler will be all over you.
00:35:02You'll be his number one anchor.
00:35:04Uh, by the way, what's the story with this secret admirer?
00:35:08I don't know.
00:35:09Well, the note said maybe I'd see him in the library.
00:35:11But, it was probably just a joke.
00:35:14That kind of thing is a little more exciting and romantic than I'm used to.
00:35:17Really?
00:35:18You think it's exciting and romantic, Barbie?
00:35:21Oh, Todd.
00:35:23Hi.
00:35:24Hey, um, do you have a sec?
00:35:26Sure.
00:35:27It's about the formal.
00:35:30I just, I feel really bad about backing out.
00:35:33Good.
00:35:35Whatever.
00:35:35You got back with Raquel.
00:35:37I get it.
00:35:37I just wanted you to know I really liked hanging out with you.
00:35:41Thanks.
00:35:42Are we done here?
00:35:43Yeah.
00:35:45Check you later.
00:35:47Barbie?
00:35:48That guy's a total loser.
00:35:49I can't believe you even talked to him after what he did.
00:35:52Yeah.
00:35:53Sure.
00:35:53You're not even listening to a word I say.
00:35:57I ate a live iguana yesterday.
00:35:58Swallowed it whole.
00:36:00Yeah.
00:36:00Sure.
00:36:04Dear diary.
00:36:06Todd.
00:36:07Could it be?
00:36:08I mean, I know he's with Raquel, but maybe he just felt like he had to go to the formal
00:36:13with her, you know?
00:36:14Cause everyone expected him to.
00:36:16Maybe he's gonna break up with her.
00:36:18I can't believe I have a secret admirer.
00:36:32He said he thought you were cute.
00:36:34No, he did not.
00:36:36He did.
00:36:37Hey, Barbie.
00:36:37He said he thought you were cute.
00:36:39Shut it!
00:36:41Oh, come on in.
00:36:41What else did he say?
00:36:43Wait.
00:36:44Um, I wanted to ask you guys something.
00:36:47Uh, you guys always dress so cute.
00:36:52Thanks.
00:36:52Thanks.
00:36:53Listen, I'm doing this sort of news story thing on popular girls.
00:36:58And I was wondering if I could interview you guys.
00:37:02You know, cause you are like the most popular girls in school.
00:37:05We totally are, aren't we?
00:37:07What about Raquel?
00:37:08Let's not tell her.
00:37:09Cause she would hog the whole interview.
00:37:12Right?
00:37:13Am I right?
00:37:13Uh, totally.
00:37:14She'd be all up in the camera flipping her hair and talking about how great she is.
00:37:19Speaking of that, what happened with you and Todd?
00:37:21What?
00:37:22Nothing.
00:37:23Yeah, but you guys hung out.
00:37:24So, he must have told you something about Raquel.
00:37:27You know, like good derp.
00:37:29Isn't Raquel your friend?
00:37:30Totally BFF.
00:37:32Best friends forever.
00:37:33We were just curious, you know, if he said anything interesting about her.
00:37:37No, he didn't really say anything.
00:37:39Hmm.
00:37:40Bummer.
00:37:41Come on.
00:37:42You can make us lip gloss pens during the interview.
00:37:44You should totally set up upstairs.
00:37:46I have the cutest bedroom.
00:37:47Everyone will be jealous squared.
00:37:51Dear Diary, Dawn and Regan are totally into doing this interview.
00:37:56And everyone wants a highlighter lip gloss.
00:37:58It's crazy.
00:37:59I've made so many that I've lost count.
00:38:02It's funny how things change.
00:38:04Hey Barbie.
00:38:05Thanks for the highlighter.
00:38:06A week ago, I was no one.
00:38:08Nice shirt.
00:38:09Great hair.
00:38:10And now, Barbie.
00:38:12We had an idea.
00:38:13Cell phones that are also blue.
00:38:15Ahem.
00:38:16Um, hi?
00:38:17Can you two not hang out with the girl who tried to steal my boyfriend?
00:38:20You were broken up.
00:38:21That was just a trial breakup.
00:38:23Everyone knows that boyfriends are off limits during...
00:38:26Hey!
00:38:27Where are you going?
00:38:29Anyway, we had an idea.
00:38:31Cell phones that are also blush.
00:38:33So like, while you're holding your phone up to your face,
00:38:35brilliant, right?
00:38:37I know.
00:38:37I thought we could do a segment on it for your story.
00:38:39Dawn and Regan love the camera.
00:38:42And Dawn can wear that cardigan sweater that she loves.
00:38:44Raquel can't stand that I'm hanging out with her friends.
00:38:47So she's doing everything she can to make my life miserable.
00:38:51What exactly is Barbie doing?
00:38:53I want to do a story on which coffee bar serves the best latte.
00:38:56She's doing my research.
00:39:00Um, this is a regular latte.
00:39:02I said nonfat.
00:39:04No, you didn't.
00:39:05My bad.
00:39:06I guess you'll have to redo all the orders.
00:39:08But that's okay.
00:39:09I'll survive.
00:39:11And I keep getting those secret admirer letters.
00:39:14He always leaves a clue.
00:39:16Last time, he said I'd see him at lunch.
00:39:18He rhymed cafeteria with wisteria.
00:39:21It's a flower.
00:39:22I looked it up.
00:39:23Anyway, I think I saw him there.
00:39:28But I've got to stay focused.
00:39:30The audition for the formal is tomorrow.
00:39:33Hi.
00:39:33Nervous.
00:39:34If we can nail this, everything in my life will fall into place.
00:39:38Wish us luck.
00:39:45Could you hear us?
00:39:46How did we sound?
00:39:47I totally dropped the drumstick.
00:39:49Doesn't matter.
00:39:50You rocked.
00:39:52Yes.
00:39:52I can't believe it.
00:39:54I was right about sophomore year.
00:39:56Everything is perfect.
00:39:57It's like I'm a whole new person who can do no wrong.
00:40:01Wrong.
00:40:02Principal Peters.
00:40:04Tia, Courtney, Barbie, come with me.
00:40:08I've been told the three of you are behind this.
00:40:11Is that true?
00:40:13Who told you that?
00:40:14That's not important.
00:40:16What is important is that you specifically engineered a tool to help students disobey school rules.
00:40:22Principal Peters, Courtney and Tia had nothing to do with making those lip gloss pens.
00:40:26It was all me, I swear.
00:40:28That's not the way I heard it.
00:40:30And just to be sure, I'd rather none of you make plans for lunch today.
00:40:34You're all on calf duty.
00:40:37Understood?
00:40:43Ugh.
00:40:44Did it have to be sloppy joe day?
00:40:46I cannot believe Raquel turned us in.
00:40:49I can.
00:40:50I'm used to her wrecking my life.
00:40:52Ugh.
00:40:52Well, it is all about your life.
00:40:54Yeah.
00:40:55It's not like I had plans to work on my campaign speech over lunch.
00:40:58I was going to finish my trick homework, but luckily this came up.
00:41:02Guys, I'm sorry.
00:41:04I know this is totally my fault.
00:41:06And if I could do something to make it up to you, I would.
00:41:10Ugh.
00:41:15I don't know about you, but I feel much better.
00:41:18Here, let me get that for you.
00:41:21Ah!
00:41:21All right, take that!
00:41:26Ah!
00:41:26Ah!
00:41:26Ah!
00:41:27Ah!
00:41:27Ah!
00:41:28Ah!
00:41:35My god, seriously, stop!
00:41:37Shh!
00:41:37You guys, shh!
00:41:39Listen.
00:41:40The fans chosen to play at the Fall Formal will be Charms.
00:41:57Dear Diary, it all worked out.
00:41:59Even cafeteria duty turned out to be a good thing.
00:42:02But if I hadn't gotten splattered with Sloppy Joe, they may have hated me forever.
00:42:06That was total luck.
00:42:08Total luck.
00:42:09And then it hit me.
00:42:11Everything I'd written in the diary had come true.
00:42:24Stephanie, I have to talk to you about the diary and the bracelet.
00:42:28I'm sorry.
00:42:29What?
00:42:29Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were Stephanie.
00:42:32Maybe that wasn't her name.
00:42:33A cool-looking girl with glasses?
00:42:35Uh, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:37She sold me this bracelet and diary, and I think they're magic.
00:42:43Magic?
00:42:44It's like you can wish on it or something.
00:42:47I mean, not like I wish I had a million dollars, but more like I write about stuff that I
00:42:52want, and it happens.
00:42:53I'm sorry. You must be thinking of another store.
00:42:56I'm the only girl who works here.
00:42:58But if you do figure out where you got it, let me know.
00:43:00I could use a little magic right now.
00:43:04Do you want to use the shot of Regan calling that girl's dress up potato sack or the one of
00:43:08Dawn filing her nails during a test?
00:43:11Kevin, do you think I'm crazy?
00:43:14Yep. Potato sack or nail file?
00:43:16There's something going on. That's kind of strange.
00:43:19I know. I'm very kindly editing this story for you, and you're ignoring me.
00:43:24You're right. I'm sorry. I think both potato sack and nail file are boring.
00:43:29You do?
00:43:29Oh, please. Regan and Dawn are catty and vain. Big whoop. It's not enough. That's not news.
00:43:37That day I went to Regan's house, she was totally digging for dirt on Raquel, her best friend.
00:43:43That's lame.
00:43:44Totally. I thought I was going to do a story on what it takes to be popular, like good hair
00:43:49and the right jeans.
00:43:50But maybe what it takes is talking about your friends behind their back, which means that they really don't have
00:43:56any friends at all.
00:43:57Now that's a good story.
00:44:00Yeah. But I just haven't really found a way for them to open up to me yet.
00:44:04Well, you need to go in deeper. You know, go Diane Fossey on those girls. Live among them. Earn their
00:44:10trust.
00:44:10You need to become a full-fledged member of the elusive popular tribe.
00:44:15If I really want them to talk to me, I need to speak their language.
00:44:19Uh, speak their language?
00:44:21It's like the only thing they like to talk about is themselves. So I need some good gossip to get
00:44:26them to open up.
00:44:27Maybe you could make something up.
00:44:29No good. You end up spreading a rumor that isn't true. That's the last of the flyers.
00:44:34Now, I just need to kick off my campaign with a rally after lunch. Think I'll get anyone?
00:44:38We'll be there. Definitely. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:44:43Ooh, another admirer letter?
00:44:47A fire in your soul sets my world ablaze. I'm a helpless white mouse lost in your maze.
00:44:53I'll be in the parking lot today after school. You may not see me, but I'll see you.
00:44:58You guys. That's it.
00:45:00What? It doesn't rhyme?
00:45:01No. I'll tell them that Todd's sending secret love notes to me while he's still with Raquel.
00:45:08That would be the biggest news ever for Dawn and Regan.
00:45:11But are you sure the notes are from Todd?
00:45:13All the clues point to him.
00:45:15Barbie, I don't know.
00:45:17I've got to go find Regan and Dawn. Later.
00:45:19Don't forget to buy your tickets to the Fall Formal.
00:45:25Regan!
00:45:26I have something to tell you, and it's for your ears only.
00:45:30I'm getting these secret admirer notes, and I'm not sure, but I think maybe they're from Todd.
00:45:38I mean, I know he's with Raquel, but...
00:45:40Get out. We have to tell Dawn.
00:45:43Out there?
00:45:44Yeah, out there. That's where Dawn is.
00:45:47The Popular Lawn. I was actually invited to go out on the Popular Lawn.
00:45:53I could feel my story cracking wide open.
00:45:55Barbie! Come on! It's time for the rally!
00:45:59The rally. Barbie, come on. We have to go talk to Dawn.
00:46:03Hello?
00:46:05I'm really sorry. I have to go do this.
00:46:09Good luck with the rally!
00:46:11I don't believe this.
00:46:13Dawn, you've got to hear this.
00:46:15After that, it's like the floodgates opened.
00:46:18Dawn and Regan accepted me as one of their own.
00:46:21Now I could tell my story from the inside.
00:46:23We started, like, hanging out for real.
00:46:26I don't believe it.
00:46:27Hi, here we are in the mall, and this is where we buy our favorite shirts.
00:46:31Check it out.
00:46:36Okay, now it's your shopping spree this weekend.
00:46:39Oh my God, you picked the right color.
00:46:43Hi.
00:46:44Okay, you have a choice.
00:46:46So we decided to audition for the fall for...
00:46:48Oh, hi.
00:46:49Hi there.
00:46:51Hi.
00:46:51She is such a loser.
00:46:53I don't believe it.
00:46:57No way did Dawn say that about me.
00:47:00I'm not surprised, though.
00:47:01The other day, she IM'd me that she secretly thinks you're disgusting because you chew with your mouth open.
00:47:06I know.
00:47:08How dare she?
00:47:09Hey!
00:47:10We have to rehearse.
00:47:11You're the one who signed us up for this.
00:47:13Okay, okay.
00:47:14Just give me a sec.
00:47:15Jingle me back in ten.
00:47:17Thanks.
00:47:18Sorry.
00:47:19We've been ready to rehearse for 45 minutes, and you've been on the phone.
00:47:23Barbie, this is really important to me.
00:47:25And my story's important to me.
00:47:28I thought you understood.
00:47:29Which is it you really care about?
00:47:31Your story or your fabulous lunches on the popular lawn?
00:47:34Look, do you think you can stay away from your new friends long enough to rehearse for a few minutes?
00:47:39The formal is this weekend.
00:47:40You're right.
00:47:41We'll be ready, I promise.
00:47:44I'm gonna have to take this.
00:47:46Be right back.
00:47:47Sorry.
00:47:48Unbelievable.
00:47:50Hey, guys.
00:47:53Let me guess.
00:47:54On the phone?
00:47:55Yep.
00:47:56Regs or Donnie?
00:47:58Regs.
00:47:59I don't even think it's about the story anymore.
00:48:01I think she likes being popular.
00:48:03No way.
00:48:04It's all an act.
00:48:05She's getting amazing footage.
00:48:07Oh, and right here.
00:48:07It's the teaser we made to show Mr. Wexler.
00:48:10Don and Regan talking smack about each other behind their backs.
00:48:12It's like popular girl warfare.
00:48:14We're giving it to them tomorrow morning.
00:48:16So by tomorrow after school, everything will be back to normal.
00:48:19Yeah.
00:48:20Keep reminding me of that.
00:48:21Otherwise, I might have to do a drum riff on her head.
00:48:25Hi, Barbie.
00:48:26Wow.
00:48:26Barbie.
00:48:28Barbie.
00:48:28The funny thing about hanging out with the populars...
00:48:31How's it going?
00:48:32Hey, how are you?
00:48:34It's like everyone is dying to please you.
00:48:39I have to admit, it's kind of nice.
00:48:42It's really great out here.
00:48:44The grounds crew is for my father's landscaping company.
00:48:46They give this area extra attention.
00:48:49I can't believe it.
00:48:50The grass really is greener on the other side.
00:48:59Hey, Barbie.
00:49:01I think you should talk to Todd.
00:49:03Find out if he's the one sending you secret admirer notes.
00:49:06Shh.
00:49:07You didn't say anything to Raquel, did you?
00:49:09Of course not.
00:49:10Don't you trust us?
00:49:11Yeah.
00:49:12Totally.
00:49:13I just...
00:49:15My bracelet.
00:49:16You guys, I lost my bracelet.
00:49:18I...
00:49:19Oh.
00:49:20Huh.
00:49:21Never mind.
00:49:22Freak out much?
00:49:23It's just a bracelet.
00:49:25It's really stupid, but...
00:49:27I think it might be kind of magic.
00:49:29The woman who sold it to me disappeared.
00:49:31And ever since I got it, things have been happening.
00:49:38I mean, not magic as in abracadabra.
00:49:42Magic as in...
00:49:44Anything that makes me look this hot must be magic.
00:49:48Oh, totally hot.
00:49:49Hot enough to go make your move on Todd.
00:49:52Come on.
00:49:52We're bored.
00:49:53I don't know.
00:49:54I mean, what about Raquel?
00:49:56Don't worry about her.
00:49:58You're much more fun to hang out with.
00:50:00Really?
00:50:00And frankly, you've got better hair.
00:50:03And it's not easy.
00:50:04We know.
00:50:05Having great hair and picking out the right clothes every day is totally high pressure.
00:50:09I know, right?
00:50:10I arrange my clothes in order of color so I can make quicker choices in the morning.
00:50:17You think he's watched the tape?
00:50:19Kevin, do you think I have fantastic hair?
00:50:22I mean, I never really thought about it, but Don and Regan said that...
00:50:25Barbie?
00:50:26What are you talking about?
00:50:28Nothing.
00:50:29Come on, let's go in.
00:50:32Hey, Mr. Wexler.
00:50:33Hello, Barbie.
00:50:34So, I watched your clip.
00:50:39It's brilliant.
00:50:40Really gutsy reporting, Barbie.
00:50:42I'm impressed.
00:50:43I want you to put it together as a special and anchor it live on Friday night.
00:50:47Can you handle that?
00:50:48Are you kidding?
00:50:49I would love to.
00:50:51Thank you, Mr. Wexler.
00:50:52Thank you so much.
00:50:54Thank you, Barbie.
00:50:54This is the kind of news I want.
00:50:56This stuff has a hook.
00:50:57Congratulations.
00:50:58I'll start airing your teaser as a promo tonight.
00:51:01A ginger ale toast to getting on the air.
00:51:04The preview is fantastic.
00:51:06Totally.
00:51:07Congratulations.
00:51:08You guys, thanks for being so patient.
00:51:10I know it couldn't have been easy, but...
00:51:12You are a vicious, evil, horrible human being.
00:51:16Regan, we thought you were our friend.
00:51:18But all you cared about was making us look bad on your little story.
00:51:22Your faces are blurred out, so...
00:51:24So what?
00:51:24Everyone knows it's us.
00:51:26I started out just wanting to do a day in the life thing,
00:51:29but then I realized that a day in your life was different,
00:51:33full of gossip, and...
00:51:34I just wanted to show the truth.
00:51:36So, you wanted to show the world how terrible populars are
00:51:39for pretending to be friends with people
00:51:41when all they really want to do is gather dirt.
00:51:43Why does that sound familiar?
00:51:59Ew!
00:52:02Great.
00:52:03Mustard in my sneaker.
00:52:04Oh, that's almost sweet.
00:52:06In a fourth-grade summer camp kind of way.
00:52:10It's not as bad as whoever put chili in my backpack.
00:52:13I wonder what'll happen when I do the actual special tonight.
00:52:16Easy.
00:52:17The populars will be shown as the shallow people they are,
00:52:19everyone will rally on your side,
00:52:21and then we'll rock the house on Saturday night at the formal.
00:52:23As long as I get through the story.
00:52:27Well, at least you two finally saw the light about Barbie.
00:52:31One more time.
00:52:32You were right.
00:52:33You were right.
00:52:33She's totally not popular material.
00:52:36I mean, why would Todd like her?
00:52:38What?
00:52:39Oh, um...
00:52:40She told us that Todd was sending her secret admirer notes.
00:52:43She said it was all because of some stupid bracelet she had
00:52:46that was, like, magic or made her lucky or something.
00:52:49Oh, she did not!
00:52:54Well, I guess we'll just have to take her magic away.
00:52:58Maybe we shouldn't.
00:52:58I mean, she deserves it, but it's still stealing.
00:53:01Honey, we're not stealing.
00:53:02We're borrowing.
00:53:04Just like Barbie borrowed your friendship
00:53:05to use you for her little news piece.
00:53:07Just like she borrowed Todd
00:53:09when we were clearly on a trial breaker.
00:53:12Oh, no.
00:53:14Barbie's little bracelet has magically disappeared.
00:53:19Hey, Kev, have you seen Barbie?
00:53:21We were supposed to have our rehearsal
00:53:23before the formal tonight.
00:53:24And she hasn't answered her cell phone.
00:53:26No, I haven't seen her.
00:53:27Ooh, is that her piece you're working on?
00:53:29Can we see some?
00:53:30Sure.
00:53:31It's awesome.
00:53:32I arrange my clothes in order of color
00:53:34so I can make quicker choices in the morning.
00:53:38I have a friend who numbers her jeans
00:53:40so she won't accidentally wear the same pair twice in a row.
00:53:43No way!
00:53:44Who?
00:53:45Yeah, who?
00:53:46Oh, it's no big deal.
00:53:47Spill, honey.
00:53:50It's Tia.
00:53:52Wait a minute.
00:53:53If she wore jeans on one day,
00:53:55shouldn't they be in the wash the next day?
00:53:56Well, I mean...
00:53:57Oh, my gosh.
00:53:58She totally doesn't wash her clothes.
00:54:00That's disgusting.
00:54:05Wait till I tell, well, everyone.
00:54:08Who is she?
00:54:10Come on.
00:54:10Let's go find her.
00:54:11You guys, wait.
00:54:18Barbie, we need to talk.
00:54:20My bracelet, it's gone.
00:54:22It was in my gym bag, but now it's not there.
00:54:24Barbie, forget the bracelet.
00:54:26I can't.
00:54:27Without my bracelet, I can't write in my diary.
00:54:29I need to write in my diary or I can't do anything tonight.
00:54:33Not the story, not the concert, nothing.
00:54:35How could you have told Reagan and Dawn that stuff about Tia?
00:54:38Yeah, Kevin showed us the footage.
00:54:40I can't believe you.
00:54:41Oh, that.
00:54:43Did you see how they blew it all out of proportion?
00:54:45That's exactly the dark stuff I want to show in my story.
00:54:48That stuff is gold.
00:54:50Well, now we know what our friendship means to you.
00:54:52You get your story, and I get to go around school as a girl who never washes her clothes.
00:54:56Thanks a lot.
00:54:57You guys, it's no big deal.
00:54:59I just slipped, okay?
00:55:00It's not just that.
00:55:01You've been blowing off band practice, treating us like dirt.
00:55:04You picked the popular lawn over Tia's class president, Raleigh.
00:55:09You never even asked me how it went.
00:55:11I tried to help out.
00:55:13I made flyers.
00:55:14Flyers.
00:55:15Wow.
00:55:16Real friends show up.
00:55:18You guys, it'll all be over after the story.
00:55:21Which I won't be able to do if I can't find the bracelet.
00:55:25Enough about the stupid bracelet.
00:55:26Why is it so important to you?
00:55:28It brings me luck.
00:55:29I got everything once I had the bracelet.
00:55:32It changed me.
00:55:34Into what?
00:55:35Sorry about your bracelet, but until you get your priorities straight, I don't think I want to hang out with
00:55:39you.
00:55:40We've decided to play the formal without you.
00:55:42It's just better that way.
00:55:50In three, two, one.
00:55:54Hi, I'm Barbie, and this is a special high school news in-depth story.
00:55:59Tonight's topic, what goes on in the secret society known as the in-crowd, the popular kids, the pop-u
00:56:07-lotsy.
00:56:07To learn firsthand, I did an in-depth report on the ins and outs of popularity.
00:56:15Which I'm not going to show.
00:56:17The real truth is, it doesn't matter what the popular people say or think or do.
00:56:23It doesn't matter how many people in school know who you are.
00:56:26It only matters that you know who you are and are true to that.
00:56:30This year, I wanted people to notice me, and I worked so hard at it, I forgot the people who
00:56:37already did.
00:56:38And totally warfed everything.
00:56:40It's this word that Kevin made up.
00:56:42But the point is, I was wrong.
00:56:45And I'm sorry.
00:56:47I know Mr. Wexler blocked off an hour for this story, which I'm not going to show.
00:56:52But I do have something.
00:56:5526 short films that Kevin made this summer.
00:56:57I particularly like the one where the paperclips attack his e-book.
00:57:01Anyway, enjoy.
00:57:09Sorry.
00:57:10I know this wasn't exactly what you had in mind.
00:57:17Dear Yellow Legal Pad,
00:57:19I guess I got kind of wrapped up in the perks of being popular.
00:57:23Tonight's the formal, but I'm not even going to go.
00:57:26I know Tia and Courtney will do a great job with the band.
00:57:31I just hope that my friends, or should I say former friends, find some way to forgive me, eventually.
00:57:39You see the kid who just tagged along
00:57:42Too young to know what was going on
00:57:47Wouldn't give me the time of day
00:57:51Well, little sister grew up
00:57:53And hey, don't you see
00:57:54I think I need for you to take me seriously
00:58:00Oh my gosh, she's playing
00:58:03I'm not sure I've ever seen you actually play in this garage
00:58:07That thing better be tuned
00:58:09Because we have a fall formal to play
00:58:11You guys want me to play?
00:58:13We saw your story
00:58:15I can't believe you were willing to give up your anchor shot to apologize to us
00:58:19And to show Kevin's short films?
00:58:21Well, he did so much work on editing my story
00:58:24I thought something he did should make the air
00:58:26Ah, it was brilliant
00:58:27The best hour ever seen on high school news network
00:58:31I feel really badly, you guys
00:58:34About everything
00:58:35You were all so horribly underdressed
00:58:38Luckily, this little number was still on hold for you
00:58:42You guys are the best
00:58:44Yeah, we know
00:58:45Now, get ready
00:58:46With any luck, we'll make it to the formal in time to actually play
00:58:51Luck
00:58:52Unfortunately, that's the one thing I don't have
00:58:56You coming?
00:58:58I just...
00:58:59I never found that bracelet
00:59:00And I know it's crazy
00:59:02But it really did magically bring me luck
00:59:04I'm afraid that without it, I'm nothing
00:59:07What are you talking about?
00:59:09You did that entire news story
00:59:10That's because Wexler was counting on me
00:59:13That was old Barbie
00:59:14Just doing what everybody expected of her
00:59:16But tonight, to perform in front of everyone
00:59:19I need the bracelet
00:59:28That's a broken guitar string
00:59:30No, it's not
00:59:31It's magic
00:59:32It tells you that you're a beautiful, confident, funny, awesome guitar player
00:59:36Who's going to kick butt at the show tonight
00:59:38Kevin, that's ridiculous
00:59:40It's just a stupid piece of metal
00:59:43Exactly
00:59:45There's no old Barbie or new Barbie
00:59:48There's just me
00:59:49And I'm going to rock
00:59:51Thanks
00:59:52Ah, stop with the mushy stuff and get dressed already, will you?
00:59:56We got a formal to go to
01:00:00You look awesome
01:00:02Whoa, that dress rocks
01:00:04Check it out
01:00:06A little something special I rented for the occasion
01:00:10Shall we?
01:00:11This is going to be fun
01:00:12I can't wait
01:00:13The limo is amazing
01:00:15Yeah
01:00:16Ball form of the limo
01:00:18Yeah
01:00:18Yeah
01:00:20Woohoo
01:00:37Hey guys
01:00:38Oh, you look nervous
01:00:40What's the matter?
01:00:42Is someone having trouble without their good luck charm?
01:00:44My bracelet
01:00:45Prove it
01:00:46As far as anyone else knows
01:00:47I just bought this today
01:00:49I saw your little news story
01:00:51So sweet
01:00:52Your disgusting, dirty, cold friends must be so proud
01:00:59Okay, everyone
01:01:00It's time to bring on the band
01:01:02Get ready to dance with the girls from Charms
01:01:07Okay, let's do it
01:01:10Hey, did you hear about the whole thing with Barbie and Spooning?
01:01:16There are some people out there tonight spreading some rumors
01:01:19Just to set the record straight
01:01:21I do wash my clothes
01:01:23And yes, I number my jeans
01:01:25But it's that kind of attention to detail you want in a class president
01:01:29The next time someone tells you some juicy dish about someone else
01:01:33Note to self
01:01:34So what?
01:01:36Two, three, four
01:01:51I rise to greet the day
01:01:54Despite the monsters underneath my bed
01:01:58I grab the pen and count to ten
01:02:01And spill the contents of my head
01:02:05This is the here, this is the now
01:02:09I gotta make it somehow
01:02:12Sometimes it feels as if my brain is bursting
01:02:17Got out, writing down
01:02:19Note to self, feed the dog
01:02:21Call the mom, write a song
01:02:23And rule the world by noon
01:02:25Note to self, make the grade
01:02:28Make your mom, break your leg
01:02:30And don't forget to always work the room
01:02:34Cause everything's going by
01:02:36Look out!
01:02:38I just wanna make something at last
01:02:41But if you don't have the keys up on the shelf
01:02:44Nice dress!
01:02:46And she stakes the landing, folks!
01:03:00Todd, we are leaving!
01:03:02Yeah, cool, I'll check you later
01:03:04The moon's in my mind
01:03:06We hit the street
01:03:07I take his hand
01:03:09The promised land ain't far behind
01:03:13Whether it's right or if it's wrong
01:03:16I wanna party all night long
01:03:20Sometimes it feels as if my brain is bursting
01:03:25Got out, work it out
01:03:27Note to self, feed the dog
01:03:29Call the mom, write a song
01:03:31And rule the world by noon
01:03:34Note to self, make the grade
01:03:36Make your mom, break your leg
01:03:38And don't forget to always work the room
01:03:42Cause everything's going by so fast
01:03:46I just wanna make something at last
01:03:49But if you don't have the keys up on the shelf
01:03:53Note to self
01:04:04Thank you
01:04:05And don't forget, vote for Tia
01:04:07That was charms
01:04:09We'll have them back later
01:04:10But for now, let's take it down a step
01:04:13That rocked!
01:04:14Oh my gosh
01:04:15That was amazing!
01:04:17Thank you
01:04:17That was so great!
01:04:20Hi!
01:04:20Hi!
01:04:22Hi!
01:04:23Can you believe it so much?
01:04:25I totally caught the drumstick
01:04:26Did you see that?
01:04:27Thank you
01:04:28Thanks!
01:04:29Thanks!
01:04:29Uh, excuse me one second
01:04:32You guys were awesome!
01:04:35You have to tell her how you feel
01:04:36I don't know
01:04:38Oh, come on
01:04:39Tell her or I will
01:04:41You guys, that was incredible!
01:04:43Totally!
01:04:44Yeah, good job!
01:04:45Man, am I parched
01:04:46I'm gonna go get some punch
01:04:48Tia?
01:04:49Gee, Courtney
01:04:50Punch sounds great
01:04:52That was weird
01:04:53Uh, yeah
01:04:54Um, can I talk to you for a second?
01:04:57There's something I wanted to
01:04:58Barbie, you were awesome tonight
01:05:00Want to dance?
01:05:03Yeah, I do
01:05:05I'll catch up with you later, okay?
01:05:07Yeah, sure
01:05:11You look awesome tonight
01:05:13Thanks!
01:05:14Listen, I wanted to talk to you
01:05:16I really appreciate all the notes you left in my locker, but
01:05:19What notes?
01:05:21What are you talking about?
01:05:23You mean, you didn't?
01:05:26And that's when I realized
01:05:28All those clues
01:05:30All those places I was supposed to see my mystery man
01:05:34In the library
01:05:36In the cafeteria
01:05:38Everywhere
01:05:40There was a guy out there who really got me for me
01:05:44Would you excuse me?
01:05:45I've gotta go
01:05:46Hey, where are you going?
01:05:48We were
01:05:48We were dancing
01:05:50So if I wore jeans number three on Friday
01:05:53On Monday
01:05:54After they've all been washed
01:05:55I'll know not to wear that pair
01:05:56I'll wear five or seven
01:05:58Wow, that's really brilliant
01:06:00Do you think that plan works with undies too?
01:06:03Mm-hmm
01:06:04Kevin
01:06:06Where are you going?
01:06:07You know what?
01:06:08This isn't really my scene
01:06:10Congrats on Todd, though
01:06:11I'm really happy for you
01:06:13Don't be
01:06:13He's not the right guy for me
01:06:15What?
01:06:16What do you mean?
01:06:18Please
01:06:18Who else is weird enough to rhyme scary with library?
01:06:22You think I'm weird?
01:06:24Totally
01:06:25It's one of the things I love about you
01:06:33Okay
01:06:33Well, let's go find Tia and Courtney
01:06:37Oh, I'm caught
01:06:39Maybe there is such a thing as a magic bracelet
01:06:49Okay, you're right
01:06:51I wrote the notes
01:06:53I was scared to tell you
01:06:54Because I didn't want to screw up our friendship
01:06:57And then you were so happy
01:06:59When you thought that they were from Todd
01:07:00And I don't know
01:07:01I like seeing you happy
01:07:03I should have told you, but
01:07:05Shut up and dance with me, Kevin
01:07:08I thought you'd never ask
01:07:18So there I was
01:07:19Dancing with Kevin
01:07:21My secret admirer
01:07:22I guess amazing things do happen
01:07:25When you put your dreams on paper
01:07:27So next time someone asks you
01:07:29If you believe in magic
01:07:30The only answer is yes
01:07:32Was the bracelet magic?
01:07:35Totally
01:07:35Because without it
01:07:36I never would have discovered
01:07:37Who I really was
01:07:39The bracelet unlocked the diary
01:07:40And the diary unlocked me
01:07:50Gotta go
01:07:51Kevin's here for movie night
01:07:52We're on Z
01:07:53Do you know how hard it is
01:07:55To find foods that start with the letter Z?
01:08:00Is that Ziti?
01:08:02Yeah
01:08:02You have any better ideas?
01:08:04What about Zocla Zip Cookies?
01:08:07Nice try
01:08:08Zopcakes?
01:08:10Oh, okay, I've got it
01:08:11Zice Cream Zundays, huh?
01:08:27Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:08:32I feel them looking down on me
01:08:37A realm of paranoia
01:08:41Nowhere to hide, no room to breathe
01:08:47I'm like a flower in the shade
01:08:50I'm like a bird in a cage
01:08:56I want a real life, I just wanna feel alive
01:09:00Getting tired of living in a bubble
01:09:02Wanna get in trouble, gotta be my own self
01:09:05I can't be nobody else
01:09:07And if I could only make one wish
01:09:13I just wanna live a real life
01:09:18A real life
01:09:22Inside your castle in the sky
01:09:27I'm just a prisoner
01:09:29Sometimes I wish I could kiss it all goodbye
01:09:36I try to please you
01:09:40But don't I matter too
01:09:46I want a real life, I just wanna feel alive
01:09:50Getting tired of living in a bubble
01:09:52Wanna get in trouble, gotta be my own self
01:09:55I can't be nobody else
01:09:57I can't be nobody else
01:09:57And if I could only make one wish
01:10:03I just wanna live a real life
01:10:08I just wanna live a real life
