- Wouldn't that be more fun with someone else?
- I tried starting an Attaway backgammon club,
but no one else signed up.
So I'm the president, secretary, and treasurer.
- Hmm, well, if you want to find a partner,
you're gonna have to put yourself out there.
- And what do you mean?
- Hmm, hard to say.
The cinnadust has only reveals so much.
- Cinnadust?
- Yeah, like when your Cinnamon Toast Crunch
and milk mix together, you stare really hard,
you can see the future.
(laughs)
- So what does the cinnadust say I should do next?
- It says whoever this girl is, tell her how you feel.
- You make it sound so simple.
- It is.
Now get going, or you're gonna be late for school.
- Has anyone ever told you you're a very odd person?
- Sure have.
(laughs)
(upbeat pop music)
- So Claire and I danced to the last song together,
and it was a slow dance, and I'd never slow danced before,
but it was like hugging and swaying all at the same time.
- Hmm, that's great, PK.
- And when the dance ended, her grandpa came to pick her up,
and I didn't know what to do or say.
Harmony, are you even listening?
- Sorry, sorry.
I was up all last night
reading Rhyme's old dance team playbooks.
I need to come up with a dance to beat Millwood.
- Well, what do I do next?
Text her, or throw pebbles at her window?
- Can't you see?
I'm trying to work on my box set.
And how would I know?
- You're friends with Claire,
and you're dating an eighth grader.
- How long do I have tell you?
I'm not dating Jordan,
and Claire Fitzroy is not my biggest fan at the moment.
- Well, you're a girl,
so you automatically know more about this.
So how do I play it?
Cool or polite?
- Maybe you should try being yourself.
- Ah, spider!
- PK, they're fake.
- Are you sure?
I hate spiders.
- [Jordan] Everything okay?
- And that's my cue.
- Thanks, you didn't have to do that.
- Who else is gonna protect you against spiders?
- You mean fake spiders?
- Fake spiders?
Wow.
Attaway sure can be a strange place.
So I had fun at the dance.
- Oh yeah, me too.
I mean, you know,
it's always nice seeing your friends.
Gotta run.
Thanks again.
(upbeat music)

- Did you know that Attaway got its name
from the Atkins Way Station?
- I sure did, Claire.
- Apparently it was a popular stop
during the gold rush in the 1800s.
- As I said, I'm familiar.
- Have you read the article
about the new Attaway Day exhibit?
My family, the Fitzroys, are going to be honored.
- I read the article this morning.
- Oh my gosh.
Apparently Attaway was on the brink of ruin
before Freddy Fitzroy saved the town
with his rubber factory.
That's like my great, great, great, great grandfather.
- A person can make a big difference
in the course of history.
- Wow, that's insightful.
- It's why they pay me the big bucks, Claire.
If you're interested,
you should read Deborah Sharpe's Attaway history book.
I have an extra copy.
- Really?
That would be amazing.
- Happy to.
And Claire, I don't mind if you hang out before class,
but can you please do it quietly?
- Absolutely.
Ugh, you're kidding me!
- What is it now?
- The Appeal just crashed right when it got
to the part about the fire.
(upbeat music)
- We need to talk.
- Good morning to you too.
- Simone warned me about Millwood.
They made a completely new routine up,
and we need one too.
- Regionals are in a few weeks.
How are we going to create a brand new dance now?
- Think about it.
Okay, I was on their team last year,
so they know what I know what they know.
You know?
- Yeah, Harmony, it's only nine o'clock.
- Okay, I have a plan.
If Millwood is gonna shake things up, we need to too.
- No offense, but how am I supposed
to know this isn't some plot for you
to steal captain from me?
- I know we got off on a rocky start,
but I'm an Attaway girl now,
so there's no reason to be arguing.
I want this as bad as you do.
Truce?
- Fine, truce, but don't make me regret this.
- Ah, spider!
(sighs)
(dramatic music)
- One pack of trick spiders costs $18,
but the look on your face, priceless.
- Do you have any idea how much this is gonna be?
- Uh-oh, that was not accounted for.
- We're going to Skate Mountain in a few weeks.
- Did you just break your board?
- Dude, you better get that fixed before our trip.
- Gus, you're gonna pay for this.
- Me, I spent all my allowance on the spiders.
- Ah, spider!
- See, they're worth every penny.
- You can be such an idiot sometimes, Gus.
- Can I have some of those?
- Sure.
- Watch it.
Oh, it's you.
- It's me.
Is that bad?
- Why would it be bad?
- I just never slow danced before,
and I think I did bad.
- Don't be ridiculous.
Have you read this?
It's fascinating.
- It looks long.
- Attaway had one of the state's first auto plants
before the factory switched to rubber.
- Like fake spiders.
- My family goes all the way back to the town's founding,
but there's hardly any details before 1900.
I'm thinking about taking the bus
to the historical society after school.
You could come if you want.
- Oh, hey, Claire.
- We're busy, if you can't see.
- We're?
I was just coming over here to invite PK
to come skate with us after school,
if you want to hang out with the boys.
- After school, today?
- You heard me, we'll see you.
- Seems like you have plans.
- I'm free tomorrow.
- Sorry, I'm busy.
(school bell rings)
- [Bel] So Katie crosses here?
- Exactly, and then you twirl around Brittany,
and then step left-left-right.
- Great, that's great.
- Yeah, Birdie Kaye made it up a few years ago.
- Oh, so who goes here?
Brittany or Katie?
- Did practice start earlier,
or are you two just gossiping about us?
- If we're gonna gossip, let's start with Harm and Jordan.
I heard he carried her books into school today.
- He just picked them up.
- Not what my sources say.
- We're just friends.
- We actually have more important business to talk about,
like our new dance.
- What's wrong with the old one?
- Harmony found out that Millwood's switching
around their routine, and we need to also.
- Don't be such a drama queen.
Let's recap the Halloween dance.
- And then Principal Mathers screamed,
"Watch out, it's a tarantula!"
- See, Leyla?
Everyone thinks the spiders are funny.
- Well, thanks to your stupid spiders,
you guys can have fun at the skate park without me.
- Don't worry.
Eggie already found a replacement.
- [Leyla] Excuse me?
- The new kid, PK.
He's coming to meet us here.
- Why?
- Maybe 'cause I'm a nice guy.
- Or maybe because he was talking with your ex-girlfriend.
- Don't be a dummy.
All right, here he comes, shut up.
- Hey, guys.
You ready to go?
- Guess I'll catch you guys later.
- Hey, I'm sorry about your board, but I found this.
- "Help wanted, website crashed."
- I mean, I thought 'cause you like to code at all.
- Wow, it pays 100 bucks.
Thanks, Walker.
- No problem.
- All right, so we're going boom, boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom.
Wait, are you guys even trying to catch the beat?
- These new steps are so fast.
- My feet are killing me.
- No, no no, you almost had it that time.
You're in Kayla's spot, so scoot to the left,
and Quinn, nope, Brittany crosses.
- News flash, Harmony.
It's not 2018.
- She's just trying to help.
- Easy to say from the sidelines.
- You don't know how fast Millwood is.
If you don't step it up, we'll lose for sure.
- Seems like you sure know a lot about Millwood.
- Yeah, how do we know
you're not just messing us up to help them?
- Excuse me?
- I don't know.
You used to be on Millwood's team
and now you're sharing secrets with Simone.
It just smells fishy.
- She's just trying to help us.
- And you're supposed to be our captain.
Another news flash.
We don't like this new routine.
- It is kind of ambitious.
- You're not backing me up either?
- I'm captain, and I'm Attaway, all the way.
- Fine, I was trying to help, but forget it.
- Harmony, wait!
Now look what you guys did.
- Can we just gossip about the dance now?
(dramatic music)
- [Leyla] Hi, I'm here about the website.
- You're a coder?
- [Leyla] Yeah, I can do HTML and CSS
and a little bit of JavaScript.
- Right, so I've got no idea what any of that means.
I'm Rooney, the new editor in chief.
Okay, so basically my lovely deputy decided
to update the site this morning,
and he wanted to upload a bunch
of new photos and videos,
and caused the whole site to crash.
So you think you can fix it?
- I can definitely try.
- Well, since you're the only one
that applied, you're hired.
- Wow, that was easy.
- I wish somebody had taught me how to code at your age.
What are you, like 11?
- 12, thank you very much.
- You remind me a lot of my friend's little sister.
She's also wise beyond her years.
- Yeah, maybe we should see if I can get this site up
before you congratulate me.
- Also wise, it's all yours.
(suspenseful music)
(screams)
(sighs)
- Hey.
You dropped something.
You have to admit, this one's actually kinda cute.
- I think I hate fake spiders more than I do real ones.
- Bad day?
- You could say that.
- Well, if it makes you feel any better,
everyone's been calling me Mr. Tinhead.
- And everyone somehow thinks we're dating.
Can people just mind their business?
- They're just rumors, plus,
would that really be the worst thing?
- That's not the point.
- Why don't you think about it,
if you want to be more than friends?
- More than friends?
I have to go.
We're having pizza.
(dramatic music)
- [Announcer] Next week on "Chicken Girls."
- Nice shot.
- Talking to me, Millwood?
- She's just here to meet Gus.
- Who's that?
- Well, that's my sister, Jo.
- She looks an awful lot like...
