Rah rah rass, kick 'em in the --
No, no, no girls.
You can't say that in a game.
Remember, the line is "other knee".
Now let's see it again.
With energy.
Rah, rah, ree! Kick 'em in the knee.
Rah, rah, rass! Kick 'em in the...
other knee!
That's more like it.
Whew! We almost got in trouble with that one.
OK.
A 14 letter word that starts with the letter C
for a fear of tight spaces.
- Claustrophobia! - Claustrophobia!
Duh.
OK, Sydney, just one more.
What is it?
It starts with 'A' and it's a nine letter word for spider.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! Arthropod!
Oh, that's perfect, Riley.
Did you hear they're closing the computer lab at school?
Oh, it's just temporary.
They're upgrading the computers to Windows 11.
Really?
Some of them are old.
Are you sure they're compatible with TPM?
Well, some of them are only TPM 1.0
so they're going to have to upgrade them.
Well, that should keep the hackers out, for sure.
So right, Sydney!
(School Bell Rings)
Hey, Riley, wait up.
Hi, Ellie, how was cheer practice?
It's going great, but you should really try out for the team.
Doesn't that involve like dancing and gymnastics and stuff like that?
Yeah, but it's a lot of fun.
You're lucky your mom's a dance instructor.
My dad's more into sports and tech.
Well, you never know.
Sometimes you're just born with natural ability.
Yeah, I'm just too nervous.
I've never really performed in front of other people.
Well you should think about it,
And I hope to see you at the big game Friday night.
Well, I don't know about that, but I'll see you in class.
All right. See you later.
Ellie encourages Riley
to try out for the cheerleading squad,
even though they are total opposites.
Hey, mom, how is the dance studio today?
It was good.
A lot better than I can say for your grades.
I can explain that,
And they're not all bad.
You're right. It's not all bad.
You did great in art and English,
but it's this computer science grade we're going to have to talk about.
Well, you know, mom, I like computers and all that, but
I guess I just kind of take after you.
Well, you know, Ellie,
just because I run a dance studio
doesn't mean you should, too.
You need to be a more well-rounded.
Well, I'm proud to be raised by a single mom.
It's not my fault I don't have a Dad
around to teach me tech and stuff.
Well, maybe I need to send you to computer camp instead of cheer practice.
No, mom. I'll figure something out.
Well, you better do something about it before I get your final report card.
OK, don't worry, mom, I will.
Principal Adams.
Hey, dad.
My friend Ellie thinks I should try out
for the cheerleading squad at school.
That's great, honey.
But doesn't that require a lot of dance or gymnastics or something?
Yeah, I know that's why I should probably not do it.
Yeah, I tried to get dance lessons before,
but you weren't really into that sort of thing.
You're right, Dad.
I never really thought of it before.
She said If I don't get my computer science grade up
that I'd have to quit cheerleading.
Well, the whole squad is going to fall apart without you.
Well, do you know of another alternative besides computer camp?
Well, you know, my cousin Herbie got
Computer network certification, and all he used was a phone app.
Cousin Herbie?
Isn't that the guy who's a junior at Cal Tech University?
Well, yeah, but I'm sure he could get you access to the app too.
Well, I'm pretty sure that's not designed for a senior in high school.
Well, I don't think there are any other options.
Hey, Ellie.
If you need any help with computers, maybe Riley can help you.
Oh, Riley, I would hate to impose.
I'm sure you have a lot of better things to do.
I don't mind helping a friend.
Oh wow. Sometimes help is just a lunch table away.
Well, at least let me pay you.
Oh no, no, no. Maybe you can help me with dance lesons
some time to return the favor.
Oh, me too!
Deal!
OK. Meet me in the library after school.
Ellie struggles with computers, and Riley wants to dance.
Maybe these opposites have something to learn from each other.
So I looked at your test results, and it seems like the biggest problem
You're having is internet security and protocols.
Yeah. Like, what are all these terms,
like Firewall and white list?
Oh, well, a firewall is a security on your network that disallows
unauthorized access that could potentially compromise your data.
Oh, so it's kind of like a moat around a castle?
You can only let in authorized visitors?
Exactly!
You're getting this!
And a white list is simply a group
of authorized websites.
Kind of like a guest list at a party.
Oh my gosh, that makes sense now.
I wish the Mr. Slater could have explained it like that.
Well, if you ever need help with computer concepts, you know where to look me up.
Well, same for you.
If you ever decide to try out for cheerleading,
I can help you with some dance moves.
Well, can my friend Katie sit in too?
because she's really been bugging
me to do dance with her?
Of course, come by my mom's dance studio. 5:00.
So if you're going to do cheer, you have to know
the dance fundamentals,
Have either one of you done dance before?
You mean like Tik Tok?
Well, that's a start.
But in order to cheer, you have to dance competitively
and in order to dance competitively,
you have to be able to learn choreography.
Oh, choreography.
You mean like dancing with the stars?
Well, yeah, sort of.
Except with a whole team.
So let's start with something simple.
Ready?
OK, we're ready.
That's great, but remember to point your toes.
Now try this.
Wow, that's so cool.
I wish I had a mom that could teach me dance like that.
Yeah, but I bet your dad taught you all that techie stuff you're so good at.
Now let's try this.
The Rebels cheer!
Rebels, Rebels, number one!
We bring the heat.
We get it done.
Go Rebels!
All right, ready.
Rebels, Rebels, number one!
We bring the heat.
We get it done.
Go Rebels!
Now, one thing that's for sure to be on the test
is the difference between top level domains.
Oh, I know what domains are.
That's like Amazon or Google.
Yes, but where people get tripped up is the differences between
the extensions like .com or .TV
Yeah, I know that a lot of them are .com
but do they have to use TV if it's a TV show?
No, actually. The two letters represent country codes.
.FR is France.
.RU is Russia.
and .TV stands for the tiny island country of Tovalu.
Oh wow, I bet you a lot of people don't know that.
Well, now I do.
You know you're going to do so well on this test.
I bet your parents are going to be so proud of you.
Well, I don't have dad,
but my mom is my best friend in the world.
I'm adopted.
What a coincidence.
I'm adopted, too.
I'm glad you're proud of it.
That's so funny.
Two girls that are so different,
Have so much in common.
Ellie and Riley realize that even though they seem different,
they have a lot in common.
OK, Ellie, this makeup test is your last chance
to pass Computer Science.
Bits and bytes?
That's easy. There's eight bits in a byte.
megabytes? 1,024 bytes.
And that's not even that Mega.
What's ASIC stand for?
Well, that's a 'sic' question,
Because it stands for
application specific integrated circuit.
There you go, Mr. Slater.
Hey, dad.
Hey, Riley.
How was your dance class?
It was good. She taught me how to do a pirouette.
You know, I think that's great.
Mom and I used to love to dance.
You know, it's been a long time.
You really need to get out date again.
Oh, honey, it's been so long.
I don't think I would know how to act around a woman.
Well, you need lessons. just like I'm taking dance lessons.
You know, that's not a bad idea.
But where am I supposed to get lessons on how to act around a woman?
Well, Ellie's mom will teach you.
She is really easy to be around.
Oh, really? But how am I supposed to ask her for that?
Don't worry, dad.
I'll set the whole thing up.
Riley's dad is having trouble meeting people.
Good thing she has an idea to help them out.
Thank you, Victoria, for meeting me here.
My daughters seem to think I need some advice for dating again.
Well, I haven't really been seeing anyone since I lost Alfred.
And it's been a long time.
I know what you mean,
Sometimes it's harder than you think being a single parent.
Well, all I know is that I'm so glad we adopted Ellie when she was a baby.
When your daughter is adopted? So is my Riley!
I just wish we would have been able to adopt her sister, too.
It would have been a lot of work, but imagine how rewarding.
You've got to be kidding me. This is kismet.
Riley also had a twin sister whom we adopted her.
You don't think...
That they are...
- The twins! - The twins!
I know how we can figure this out.
Yeah, we can probably just compare facts.
What was the name of her adoption agency?
It was, uh...
Harmony.
Oh! As in Harmony Family Services?
Yes, in Riverside.
Well, do you know her actual date of birth?
June
June 6th
June 6th 2003!
Hello, my gosh. Our daughters are sisters.
Not only that, but they're twins.
It's so funny how different they could be, depending on their parent.
Well, it's pretty clear my girl needs a mom.
And mine needs a Dad.
You know, I feel like this is meant to be for them.
Maybe not just for them.
Girls, we have big news.
And some even bigger news.
Really?
What is it?
Riley's father and I...
Are getting married!
Oh my gosh, that's so amazing.
I can't believe. It.
Yes, girls. And there's more.
No way there's more.
It can't get better than that.
Well, Bill and I found out that you girls are actually sisters.
We're sisters?!
No way.
Which one's older?
Actually, neither one of you is older because you two...
- are twins! - are twins!
- Twins?! - Twins?!
That's amazing!
I know, right?
- Twins! - Twins!
On the surface,
people may seem different,
but end up having more in common
than you think.
