(footsteps tapping)
- I wish I could, but I have to get to practice.
- Wait, wait, wait, Paige wants to say hi too.
- Okay, really quick.
- Harmony McAdams where have you been?!
This is literally like the best birthday ever.
We all just got matching bracelets.
- Wow, it looks good.
- I can't believe you're not here.
- Me neither.
(upbeat music)
- One, two, three, four.
Rock, rock, up, whoa.
One, two, three, four.
Rock, rock, whoa.
Work harder, come on.
Rock, rock, rock, rock, whoa.
Come on, there you go.
Hit, hit, do like this.
Duh, duh, duh, duh, there it is.
Put those arms up, there it is.
- Uh, Mani, where'd you put the new step shoes?
- They're out in the hallway.
- I already looked there.
- Check one more time please, okay?
- But Mani, how are we supposed to have a dress rehearsal
without our dance shoes.
- Okay, five seconds now, just relax.
Deep breath.
There you go, I know you're nervous
because your parents are coming,
now just calm down, just check the hallway.
They're out there, I promise you.
(suspenseful music)
- [All] You're late.
- Sorry, I had a Attaway birthday--
- You're always late.
You don't take the step team serious.
- If you gave me a chance.
- Excuse me?
You've only be on this team for 10 seconds.
- Oh, really, I think it's been a little more
than 10 seconds.
- She has been on the team, right?
She on the team?
(True sighing)
- You know what, I don't need this.
- Excuse me?
- I have better places to be.
(upbeat music)
- Where's she going?
- Who cares.
- I'll be right back.
Just keep going, five six, seven, eight, whoa.
Go.
Harmony.
(dramatic music)
(door creaking)
(girls chattering)
- [All] Happy birthday, Brittany.
- [Brittany] Thanks.
- [Girl] Harmony, you made it.
- Is that the fortune teller?
- Even better.
- Harmony, you made it.
- Think I'd miss my best friend's birthday party?
- You have to meet Hayley.
- Yes, Hayley is awesome, you're gonna love her.
- Hey, I'm Hayley.
- Nice name.
- Thanks.
- Oh, my God.
(suspenseful music)
- Oh, the shoes, yes.
Get them out of here.
- But you just got here.
- Hey. (laughs)
So this is your little hangout?
All right, listen, I'm going to go to practice.
When I get back we're going to have a little conversation
about boundaries, all right?
- Oh, I can't let you leave.
- Say what?
(dramatic music)
- All right, just stay right here.
- And I have no idea how Lily got into the drama club.
I didn't let her in, and I'm president.
- Don't even get me started on Millwood drama department.
I mean, who hasn't heard of method acting?
- I don't know what I would do
if I had to be a Millwood muskrat.
- Yeah, if I were you, I'd drop out.
I could not stand not going to school
with Xander Blau.
- O M G, Xander Blau.
- Xander Blau, he's so cute.
- Who's Xander Blau?
(girls laughing)
- Wait, did you guys see what he posted
on snap this morning?
- What?
- No.
- I was dying, watch.
(upbeat music)
(girls laughing)
- What, I'm sure Mani's fine.
- Okay, I'm going to have to call him.
Pick up, pick up.
(phone ringing)
- Hello.
- Who's this?
- It's Simone.
- You had his phone the whole time?
Didn't you see me calling.
- Oh, sorry, did you want me to leave a message?
- What good is a message if he doesn't have his phone?
- Oh.
- So, what's happening with the goth girl and Chris?
I was hoping they'd be here.
- Goth girl hangs out with the whole middle school
goth crew now.
- And Chris is a total dweeb.
Remember that time in English?
(Hayley laughs)
- Why are you laughing?
- He fell asleep in class and Hayley snuck up
on him wearing a gorilla mask.
You tell it, Hayley.
- He went, like, "Ah." (laughs)
- Seems kind of mean.
- You guys want to play four square?
- Yes. - How do you play.
- Just watch a few rounds and you'll figure it out.
- Listen Melvin, I don't know what the play is here,
but lay it on me.
What's with the shrine?
- I'm in love, and she doesn't even care
that I exist.
- We've all been there.
I've been there too.
I even know Harmony, I can help you out.
- Really?
(record scratching)
- I just got to get back to practice.
(suspenseful music)
- Get it together, guys.
Get your lines clean and sharp.
Get it together.
What?
- Hey, I know you're worried, but don't take it out on us.
- If I took it easy on them, they would be asleep.
- Hey, I don't think they're the ones you're upset with.
- You're right, it's you.
If you stopped being so woo woo Oprah,
you could get a count straight.
- The only reason we're in this mess is because of you.
If you haven't been so horrible all this time,
Harmony wouldn't have left.
- At least I'm consistent with my friends.
You don't even have her back.
- Guys, guys.
- What do you want now?
- I shouldn't have left.
- No, you shouldn't have.
I'm sorry I've been so hard on you.
- Wow, thank you?
- Not the point.
We have to find our shoes and Mani.
- What, where is he?
- I don't know.
- I guess I should apologize to Harmony
for sabotaging her dreams and stealing the shoes.
- Yes, that sounds like a plan, my man.
- Here, let me get these shoes for you.
- You're such a gentleman.
Oh. (brooms crashing)
- You're old and you're single.
Harmony will pay.
- Help.
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] Next up on "Mani."
- Help, somebody help.
- How are we supposed to dance without our dance shoes?
- No, no, no, no, no.
Little girl, what I told you
about wearing sleeveless shirts?
- [Both] It's 2020.
