[Emma] That's me.
Emma Wilson.
And this is my squad.
I know what you're thinking.
"Wow. Look at them.
They're amazing."
And you'd pretty much be right.
But this isn't the first time
I've been in a red-hot cheer squad.
Believe it or not, we used to be a hot mess.
And to understand that,
we have to fly 8000 miles
back to where it all began.
My dad's in the Air Force.
I've spent most of my life traveling to bases
all over the world.
We've been stationed in California
for nearly 18 months now.
It's the longest we've been in one place
since I can even remember.
I was finally starting to make real friends. That's dad.
Ever since mom died when I was little,
it's just been me and him, and today he's supposed to find out
his new assignment, another year here
or having to say goodbye, again.
- Hey. - Hey.
I have exciting news, Em.
- We're staying in California? - Even better.
If you thought it was great here,
you're gonna love Australia.
- Australia? - It's a 12-month assignment.
It could be extended to two years.
But how awesome is that?
[Emma] Tell him that you want to stay,
that you have friends here, a life.
Uh, tell him something.
Look, I know we've been moving around a lot
and you have been so understanding.
But I really think this will be good for us.
Yeah, yeah, it's, it's great, dad.
Maybe I can get this extended into something longer,
but in the meantime, it'll be an adventure.
Just you and me, right?
- Right. - Okay.
I'm gonna go back, report in
and then let's head home and pack.
Okay.
[indistinct announcement on PA]
[Emma] I've already learned how to say goodbye
in six different languages.
In Japan, they say, "Sayonara."
But no matter what the language,
it never gets any easier to say.
[upbeat music]
[indistinct announcement on PA]
Good afternoon, Major Wilson.
I'm Flight Lieutenant Susan Thompson.
I trust your flight was enjoyable.
Yes, it was fine. Thank you.
This is my daughter, Emma.
- Hi. - Lovely to meet you, Emma.
You know, my daughter, Hannah, is about your age.
She's looking forward to meeting you.
Cool.
- Shall we? - Please. Lead the way.
[Susan] I've arranged for you to move in
to the town house next to mine.
The Air Force retains several units in the complex
for officer housing.
[Susan] Welcome to your new home.
This part is just a five-minute walk from the house
if you ever wanna come down and take in the view.
Wow.
[music continues]
Hey, Ethan. Come and meet Emma, your new neighbor.
Hey, nice to meet ya.
Sorry, I'm actually running late for training,
but maybe we can hang out later?
Yeah. I'd like that.
See? You're making friends already.
He seemed nice.
What?
Let's get you in to your new home.
Come on through.
The movers dropped everything off yesterday.
So I'll leave you to look around and unpack.
I'm just next door if you need anything.
- Great. Thanks, Susan. - [Emma] Thank you.
Wow.
What do you think?
- It's nice. - Give it a chance, Em.
I-I know we're gonna love it here.
Let's get you settled in.
[giggles] Thanks.

Flight Lieutenant Thompson's daughter reporting for duty.
Hi, uh, I'm Emma. It's very nice to meet you.
- So you're a gymnast. - Um, used to be.
I'm sort of more focused on cheerleading now.
I'm kinda hoping to do it while I'm in Australia.
Cheer, huh?
We're not really into it
as much as you Yanks are,
but we'll find something for you to do.
- Come on. - Where are we going?
Uh, only the perfect spot in Adelaide
for an ex hashtag gymnast, hashtag cheerleader,
hashtag dancer.
Although...
this might not cut it.
Your room's upstairs?
Uh, yeah.
[Emma] Well, day one, and already making friends.
It's too bad that making friends isn't the hard part.
Good. Beautiful.
[Caitlin] Point the toes. Point, point, point.
Well, here it is. It's not much, but it's us.
Good job. Straight on to the beam.
Beautiful work. Let's do it.
- You know... Hey! - Hey, Mia!
Have you met my new American friend, Emma?
Ooh! Fresh blood. This should be fun.
Don't be fooled by Mia's size, okay?
She's the toughest girl I know.
Are you gonna train with us today?
Uh, yeah. I-I guess I am.
- [Mia] Cool. - And that's Issy.
[Hannah] Poor kid, she was born without a spine.
- Wow. - [Hannah and Mia] Yeah.
[Emma chuckles]
[Hannah] See?
Namaste, Emma.
Uh, yeah. Namaste to you.
Issy is just basically a hippie, you know?
Into yoga, soy... All of that stuff.
- Okay. - Hey. Hi, I'm Caitlin.
- Hi. Nice to meet you. - This is our coach, Caitlin.
She was actually in a great gymnastics team
back in... World War II, was it?
Uh, it was barely 15 years ago, you little punk.
This is Emma. She just moved next door.
She's actually a cheerleader from the States.
So I'm, uh, secretly trying to recruit her
on to joining our team.
Wait. What?
Oh, didn't I mention that?
Well, we could always use another member to round out the team.
You wanna show us what you've got?
Um...
I mean, I wasn't really planning
on jumping in to a team so soon.
Why not?
You'll make friends, you exercise and...
I don't know, you can close your eyes
and pretend you're cheerleading.
- Yeah. - Exactly.
[Emma] Should I tell her?
Should I say that I don't wanna make a bunch of friends
that I'll have to leave in a year?
But she'll understand, right?
Hannah, give the poor girl some space.
She's probably jet-lagged, and you guilting her
into joining the team probably isn't helping.
Geez, you don't have to get all Mama Bear on us all. Ugh.
[Caitlin] Well, why don't you just stick around?
Watch the girls in action. No pressure.
- Yeah. - Come on.
At least join us for some stretches.
At the very least, it's gonna be a good workout.
Okay, I mean, I, I could use a workout.
Excellent. Well, you guys get stretching.
I'm going to finish off with the junior squad.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do.
Don't worry. You'll be great.
So, uh, when does the rest of your team get here?
Uh...
- This is the rest of the team. - [Issy] Yeah.
Uh, let's just say we are in a rebuilding phase.
- A rebuilding phase? - [Hannah] Yeah.
Uh, a bunch of girls retired when they went to uni
and we lost a whole bunch to another team, so...
It happened all at once and this is us.
Yeah. [chuckles]
Come on.
[upbeat music playing]
[music continues]
Nice, Issy, if you hit your routine just like that
at the state comp this weekend, you'll be assured a medal.
- [Caitlin] Well done. - Thank you.
[upbeat music playing]
- Oops, sorry, guys, wrong music. - No way.
That's actually the music that my cheer squad
won championships with.
What? Show us your moves.
Do you guys wanna see my routine?
- [all] Yeah. - Let's see what you've got.
Okay. Um, Issy.
Will you start the music over again?
- Sure thing. - Look. You know...
It'll look a little weird without the rest
of the group, but you'll get the idea.
[upbeat music playing]
Issy, can you stop the music?
- [music stops] - You're amazing, Em.
We seriously can see why you're a champ.
Well, thanks.
How about you guys come up here and join me?
I'll teach this whole thing to you. It'll be fun.
Issy, why don't you get right here in the center?
Back there. And then, Hannah and Mia on either side of her.
Cool. Face this way towards the mirror.
Yeah. A little more room.
And then we actually need one more.
So, Caitlin, do you wanna come in behind Issy?
Me? Uh, no, no, no.
Oh, come on, you dinosaur.
Show us you're not just a bag of fossils.
Ugh. Okay.
Okay. Issy, you're gonna do a walkover right in the center.
You two are gonna do backhand springs.
And make sure you leave yourself enough room.
Five, six, seven.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
And you come up.
One, two, three...
Hey, like that.
...two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Three, four...
Six. Six, seven...
Right foot.
One, two, punch three.
- Straight to eight, that's it. - All right.
So you're gonna bend your legs like this.
So you're gonna... Just like that. Do like that.
[screaming, laughing]
I'm supporting you!
Cross your legs over. Make sure your knees are touching here.
Okay.
...seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four...
[Emma] Okay, so maybe this was the opposite
of not joining a squad.
But, I mean, look at them.
It feels good to be doing some cheer again,
even with a few crazy gymnasts.
Girls, that was amazing.
You bring that sort of energy to comps, you're gonna smash it.
You'll qualify for nationals for sure.
We have a comp this weekend. You should totally come watch.
- Sound good, mate? - I'll be there, mate.

Uh, excuse me. I think there's been a mistake.
Hannah didn't go outside the border.
Yes, she did. It's recorded clearly right here.
I, I didn't. I-I was close, but I'm sure I didn't.
Unfortunately, this says you do. I'm afraid the decision's final.
I didn't go out of bounds.
Please don't argue with me.
The point two deduction stands.
But this isn't fair.
One more word from your gymnast
and you and your team are red carded.
[Caitlin] Okay.
Here's what I think of your yellow card.
[all gasping]
[scoffs]
- Do you know those two? - Well, yeah.
Right. You and your team are disqualified.
What? No, they-they're not even a part of our team.
- [Hannah] This can't be serious. - I know, I know.
- This isn't fair. - Just leave it, leave it.
[Caitlin] I know.
We're disqualified?
Yeah. It was Charlotte and Abi.
I got yellow carded for descent
and then Charlotte water-bombed the judge
and now we're disqualified.
Why is Charlotte even here?
She isn't even competing anymore.
You guys know what Charlotte's like, okay?
She probably did it to see us fall flat on our face.
[Caitlin] Unfortunately, a red card means
the team misses the next competition, too.
But that means no more comps this year.
Yeah. And no chance to qualify for nationals.
[Caitlin] Look, I'm really sorry, okay?
I know this isn't fair.
[sighs] Come on. Let's get our stuff.
[Hannah] It's just not fair.
[Emma] Hey.
- Who were those girls? - Charlotte and Abi.
They used to be in our club.
They're really good, Em. Like, really good.
- And then they left. - Why?
Years ago when we went to nationals,
we were certain we were gonna medal.
Then we came seventh, right?
Charlotte and Abi decided they didn't wanna be
in a team that couldn't be champions, so they left,
took a bunch of girls with them and started a cheer team.
Wait. A-a cheer team?
I thought you guys didn't really have that here.
They're horrible people, Em.
Like, I am talking, the worst.
You can't be thinking of cheering with them.
No. No, no, of course not.
I have dealt with girls like that plenty of times.
They're the last people you'd wanna be friends with.
I'm really sorry, Hannah.
It's, it's okay. I mean, it's...
You know what? It's just disappointing.
I really thought we'd make it to nationals this year.
Hey. Come on. We got your bag.
[instrumental music]
Sorry to intrude. Still recovering from the loss?
Yeah, it's been a rough morning.
Caitlin tried to get the disqualification appealed,
but it got rejected.
I'll bet you, it was Charlotte's plan that whole time
to get us disqualified.
You know, next time I see her,
I'm gonna get one of my redback spiders
and I'm gonna put it down her back.
I'm not even joking.
I can't believe we're done for the season.
I wish we could still compete.
Ugh! I just wanna crush Charlotte into the ground.
- Please. - Like, is that too much to ask?
[Emma] And that's when the idea hit me.
It was perfect. Everyone would win.
The only problem was, I knew it would mean
we'd all become a lot closer.
And that would only make it that much harder to leave.
What if I told you guys
that you could still compete
and get revenge on Charlotte and Abi?
How? Y... We're disqualified.
Well, for gymnastics.
But what if we form our own cheer squad?
I mean, if they're cheerleading,
then there must be competitions, right?
Well, cheer's just starting to catch on here,
so there's a few, but...
Okay. Then why can't we get a team together?
[Caitlin] So a cheer team, huh?
[Emma] Yeah. It's a great way to keep competing.
Just think of it exactly like gymnastics,
but with music and dancing added.
And if we're really good, it'll be
a new championship to compete for.
Well, if you're willing to put in the work, I'm in.
I still think my redback spider was a solid idea, but...
[laughing]
Okay, okay, first things first.
We do have enough girls here to form a cheer team,
but if we're trying to compete against Charlotte at her level,
we'll need more members.
So anybody know
how big her team is?
Well, last time we saw them cheering at the footy,
there was only like, what, ten or twelve maybe?
- Yeah. - Wow. Yeah, that's small.
Any team I've ever been a part of has been full 24.
Like we said, it's too new,
so all the teams are still pretty small.
Do you know what level they are?
Um, just became level four.
That's the highest there is here.
- How the hell do you know that? - What?
[Emma] We-we can totally achieve that.
Oh, wait, uh, also, we're gonna need uniforms, too.
- It's gonna be a lot of work. - Well, I'm in.
And I think I can arrange uniforms.
How about you guys?
- I think it sounds good. - Okay. All right, everybody in.
Can't let you hog all the glory without me.
Okay. On three, everybody say rah!
Wait. Rah? What is that supposed to mean?
It's a cheerleading thing.
Well, wouldn't something like cheers be more...
- [Hannah] Just do it, Mia. - No.
- Okay. Fine. - Ready?
One, two, three.
- [all] Rah! - [Mia] Cheers!
So do you know what Charlotte's team is like?
I've seem 'em a couple of times.
Not competing, just at the footy.
All right, they are really good, you know?
Already won a bunch of trophies, they've been to nationals.
This might not be as easy as I thought.
Hey.
Do you really think we can beat them?
Do they have guys on their team?
Uh, I've never seen any.
If we have guys, it would be a huge advantage.
We could really throw some big stunts.
Anything to smash Charlotte and Abi.
You know, if you wanna scope out the competition,
Charlotte's gonna be cheering at the footy game tomorrow.
- Oh, football. I love football. - Uh, Aussie rules?
Oh, is that like rugby?
Not quite. It's also not cricket, soccer or field hockey.
Well, just come with me, okay? You're gonna love it.

in bringing you here.
Keep your eye on number 18, okay?
- Oh, wow. Yeah. - [Hannah] Good, right?
That's Liam, the best player on the team.
Maybe a nice little addition to ours.
[Abi] Look, gals, Hannah's decided
to give up gymnastics and join the footy team.
It really does suit you better.
You guys will fit right in
with the rest of the footy meatheads.
Hey. Let her talk.
She'll be eating all of her insults before she knows it.
What is she talking about?
We're starting a cheer team.
Emma here is our secret weapon.
- [laughing] - You start a cheer team?
[scoffs] Wow, I mean, I know
you're, like, totally obsessed with me,
but this is starting to get creepy. Don't you think?
[Abi] Aw, that's so cute.
They actually think they can compete against us.
Come on, then. Show us what you've got.
What? Here?
- Like, right now? - Oh, unless you're scared.
I mean, Hannah did foul the gym comp, so...
What can I say if we just think that we're better than her?
Well, that's enough.

and I'll put a funnel-web spider in her locker.
- [chuckles] - What? I'm into spiders.
As tempting as that sounds,
all we need to do is up our game
and we'll smash them in the championships.
Sorry, Mia and I have to go. Good luck with recruiting.
See ya.
Look, we need guys.
At the very least, we have to get Liam.
Hey, Liam. Great win.
- [Liam] Thanks. - Yeah. Congrats.
I've never seen footy before.
Oh, sorry. Hi. I'm Emma. I just moved here from the States.
Ah. Hi, I'm, I'm Liam.
Well, Emma, I'm glad I could introduce you to the sport.
Yes, she's only been here for a couple of days
and she's already shaking things up.
Did you hear we actually changed our gym team to a cheer team?
- Um, no. - Uh, well, we did.
And now we're lookin' for some extra members.
We could really use a couple of guys.
[Emma] Yeah.
Maybe someone with...
I don't know, killer backflip.
- Mm. - [chuckles]
Well, you're not serious. I...
Yeah.
Me cheerleading?
Do you have any idea what kind of flak I'd cut from the guys?
Well, just think of it like
footy and gymnastics.
Except, you know, with a bunch of cute girls.
- Mm. - Hm.
[Hannah] Liam, we did gym together for years.
Okay, I will just tell my mum
to tell your mum to make you do it.
So you might as well give in now.
All right. I'll think about it.
- Well, it wasn't a no. - [sighs] Don't worry.
I'll push his buttons to make sure he actually wants to do it.
Trust me. Just leave it with me.
All right, so, uh, that's one down.
- Let's go. - Wait. Where are we going?
To recruit our next member.
- It's very exciting. - [hip-hop music playing]
I'm sure you'll love it. Get in.
Our next member's in here?
Yup. Right there.
Hm. I don't know.
She doesn't really look
like the cheerleading type.
[Hannah] Judge not, my friend.
Tilds used to be in the gymnastics team
until she had a little bit of a falling out.
But I think she'll be very keen
to give us a shot, all right?
Hannah. What are you doing here?
Who's the Girl Scout?
She's no Girl Scout. This is Emma.
One of the best dancers I have ever seen.
- Oh, yeah? - And, uh...
We're looking for another really great dancer to join our team.
Didn't I hear you guys got disqualified?
Uh, that was for gymnastics,
but we're forming a cheer squad.
I'm not exactly the cheering type.
Look, Tilds, you're an awesome dancer.
And, plus, we could really use your help with the choreography.
But cheer is just so mainstream.
I don't think so.
Okay. Well, if that's how you feel...
Wait, wait.
- What? - Ah.
Did I mention the part that we'll be competing
against Charlotte and Abi?
Charlotte and Abi?
What's she talking about, Girl Scout?
Well, the, the plan is to face off against them
at the state championships.
And, and then, then
totally just destroy them.
- Yeah. - With our routine.
[Emma] Just humiliate them, cause, well, lots of tears.
You guys good?
- Of course, we're good. - Yeah, we're really good.
Well, congratulations 'cause now you'll be great.
- I'm in. - All right.
The training's Monday and Wednesdays at the gym.
I'll be there.
Okay.
What's with the whole Charlotte and Abi thing?
[stammers] What was up with all that?
I'll let Tilds explain it to you.
We have another member to recruit
before we can call it a day.
Care to tell me what
the plan is this time?
What's the fun in that?
Let's just say, we're gonna make her an offer
she can't refuse.
Oh, wow, you're not in, like,
the Australian mafia, are you?
Why do you have to be so cryptic?
Seriously?
- Belly dancing? - Oh, very serious.
Watch and learn.
Okay.
And what about this offer she can't refuse?
Sorry, no spoilers.
But when I point to you, just say, Liam.
What? Liam? Wait. Hannah.
[Middle-Eastern music playing]
Hannah, what are you doing here?
Actually, came to see you. This is Emma.
- Hi, nice to meet you. - Yeah, you, too.
Em's convinced us to start a cheer team.
And we just thought you'd be perfect for it.
Oh, that's awesome.
I'm sorry, look, I'm really flattered,
but I'm taking 12 hours of dance a week.
I don't have the bandwidth to add anything else.
Such a pity. We're trying to get the old gang back together.
You know, Mia, Issy, Tilds.
Uh, Liam.
Liam? How is he?
Wait, has he said anything about me?
I mean, wait, sorry. Forget I asked, um...
He's gonna cheer with you guys?
We hope so. He seemed interested.
Why? Are you guys friends?
Oh, I wouldn't say that.
Em, you didn't know. They used to date.
- They made a great couple, too. - Oh.
Ah, I feel so stupid.
I mean, I didn't even think how you would feel,
you know, spending so much time with him.
The possibility of feelings resurfacing,
passions flaring.
- Oh. - No, that would be unfortunate.
[music continues]
[Emma] You told them when to come to practice, right?
[Hannah] Yeah, they should be here any minute.
Hopefully.
- [door creaking] - Wait.
[Mia] You invited her to join?
- [Emma] Is there a problem? - Are you kidding me?
Tilds is the worst.
Tilds and Mia had, like, this falling out,
back when they were on the same team.
[Emma] Hm.
Hey, pip squeak.
I didn't know this team are letting
little kiddies compete.
Ow!
Hey, coach. Warm-up?
[Caitlin] Yeah, you know the drill.
[instrumental music]
- Go the other way. - No.
- Yes, cooperate. - No.
Oh, am I early? Is everyone here?
We got some stragglers. You know boys.
At least I hope so.
[door opens, shuts]
[Caitlin] Hey, Liam, nice to see you.
You can drop your stuff. Join in the warm-up.
- I told you. - Hm.
[Liam] Amahli.
Hey, Liam.
I heard you might join the team.
Really? And you still came?
Yeah.
Well, I'm glad you're here.
[stammers] For the team.
- Not because I'm... - [Emma] Okay!
I think we're warm. Um, do you guys wanna get started?
[sighs] Okay, sounds good.
All right, guys, I'm super excited to have you here.
This cheerleading thing is a little bit new to me,
so I'm gonna coach you through your gymnastics moves,
but Emma will lead the routines. All right?
- Emma, you're up. - All right.
[Emma] So maybe our team was a little rough around the edges
and there was some tension already bubbling,
but we had a lot of raw talent out on the floor.
It just needed to be molded into one cohesive squad.
[sighs] Okay, guys, look.
I've been a part of a lot of cheer teams.
But I feel like
this one has the potential to be the best.
I feel like we could go to nationals.
So why don't we start by getting in formation?
Follow me.
- Okay, you guys ready? - Yeah.
We're gonna start with this,
and you step forward.
Go out, two.
In three. Four.
[instrumental music]
Five, six, seven, eight.
[laughing] Oh, my God!
[Caitlin] Great work.
Okay, so we still don't have enough members
to properly compete, so if you know anyone,
it'd be a huge help.
Anyone? Really?
You know, we could really use another guy
to help with formations and stunt groups.
Well, Liam, you got any jock friends
willing to spend weeknights with a bunch of girls?
I actually might.
Meet me at the Blue Eagles soccer pitch grandstand at 3:00
on Saturday.
I reckon I know just the guy.
[instrumental music]
So what are we doing here?
Just wait and see.
It was nice seeing Amahli at the practice yesterday.
Though it was a little awkward.
That's what happens when you jilt someone, big guy.
- [whistle blows] - [scoffs]
[Emma] I don't know, it seemed like you guys were getting along.
Maybe she was just nervous about joining a new team.
Yeah, maybe.
- [whistle blows] - [crowd applauding]
But she looked amazing.
Just don't stuff it up this time, yeah?
Yeah, I won't.
Amahli's pretty special,
but I don't think she's ever gonna forgive me
for bailing on her.
Well, when they were dating,
Liam was meant to be in a salsa demo with Amahli
at the school formal.
And it was, like, a really big deal for her.
- And he didn't show. - What happened?
Amahli had to drop out. She didn't have a partner.
- [crowd cheering] - [scoffs]
She must have felt horrible.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I just got so self-conscious.
And, well, I was never that good at it.
The guys were giving me such a hard time,
so I just, I just panicked.
I didn't even call her.
Hm.
Well, maybe it's not too late.
It just so happens,
I won junior championship in salsa
when I was younger.
Maybe I could teach you a few things.
You could surprise Amahli.
- Really? - Yeah.
That's what friends are for. [laughs]
[Emma] There was that word again. Friends.
I guess there's no denying it.
I'm getting in deeper now.
Well, here comes our guy now.
- [crowd cheering] - [upbeat music]
[crowd cheering, applauding]
Wow! He's good.
But I mean, how does this translate to cheer?
Just watch.
[Hannah] I did not know Ethan could do that.
See that?
[crowd cheering]
[whistle blows]
So I used to compete against him
in gymnastics when we were younger.
Okay.
But something tells me
he'll be quite eager to start it up again.
- Mm. - Mm.
- Oh, hi. Emma, right? - Yeah.
It's-it's really great to see you.
- Thanks for comin' out to watch. - It was my pleasure.
Uh, I mean, it was, uh, it was, it was our pleasure.
It wasn't just mine.
Yeah, we'd love to come and cheer on the team, don't we?
Wasn't there something you wanted to ask Ethan?
Yes. Right.
Yeah, I was just, I was wondering if, uh,
you know, you're not too busy or anything,
if, uh, you know,
you had any interest at all...
Will you join our cheerleading squad?
[clears throat]
Uh, that's what you wanted to ask me...
[clears throat] Uh, yeah, I mean, cheerleading.
- Um, do guys even do that? - Liam does.
[clears throat]
- Are you on the team? - Emma's pretty much the captain.
Yeah, maybe I'll come check it out.
I'll text you Emma's number
and she can send you the details.
Uh, no, it's, it's fine. It's really not necessary.
- Already done. - Uh, great.
Text Emma if you wanna join, okay?
Sounds good.
Take care, Emma.
Bye. [chuckles]
- Oh! - [chuckling]
Oh, my God.
Hey, Liam, can you just close Emma's mouth?
- She's drooling a little. - Okay.
All right, all right, all right, yes.
Stop. I think he's cute. Okay, we get it.
Can we please not be children about this?
- Thank you. - Well, mwah, mwah.
[indistinct chatter]
Hm.
- Hey there, kid. - Hey.
Have a good day?
Yeah. I guess you could say that.
Good, good 'cause I got some great news.
I've just been waitin' for the right time to tell ya.
[Emma] Oh, no. He's said that before.
And it almost always means...
I think we're gettin' out of here early.
Yup. Called it.
My superior officer in California is transferring
and, um, they offered me the job.
If I take the promotion,
well, we might be able to stay in California for good.
Em?
Do you know how long it would be?
I-I mean, just because, you know, my friends and I,
the-the squad,
we're trying to compete at the state championships.
It-it won't be for a few months, so you still get to compete,
but the thing is we won't be here
for the 12 months that we thought.
You get to go back to your friends.
Isn't that great?
[Emma] No, as always, it's the worst timing.
I'm not ready to say goodbye again.
It'll be like we never left.
Just you and me, right?
Right.
[birds chirping]
[instrumental music]
About time, captain. Some of us have stuff to do.
I'm sorry, guys. Is this everybody?
Oh, we're just waiting on Ethan.
Do you think he'll come?
Don't worry, you smitten little kitten.
He'll be here.
- Okay. - [door opens, shuts]
Hey.
[chuckles]
Told you.
[Emma] Okay. Get it together, Em.
If we're gonna win, they need a leader.
Just don't think about leaving
and everything will be fine.
All right, let's get down to business.
[upbeat music playing]
Up!
Have you told anyone else you're doing this?
No way. And what about you?
Same as you. Less people that know about this, the better.
Well, Em is pretty awesome.
Yeah.
You-you know, I think she's keen on me, actually, yeah.
- Just like that. - Yeah.
Out. Straighten it.
[indistinct chatter]
- [chuckling] No, no... - What? Wait, what?
[Emma] Everything is going so great,
but we still need a couple more team members.
- This way. - Nice.
[birds chirping]
- Hi. - Oh, Ethan, hey.
Uh, if you're lookin' for Liam, I think he already left.
No, I was actually waiting for you.
No, I was wondering, maybe you wanted to hang out tomorrow?
Like, just the two of us.
Oh, like a...
- Like, a date? - [chuckles] Whoa.
[Emma] You heard what dad said.
We're leaving in a few months. Don't get too attached.
Let him down gently.
Look, I promise you.
If nothing else,
it'll be fun and informational.
[chuckles] "Fun and informational."
That sounds romantic. [chuckles]
- What do you say? - What did you have in mind?
[instrumental music]
[birds chirping]
Oh, this is so cool, I've never seen
an albino kangaroo before.
Yeah.
Just keep him nice and low for me.
- Okay. - Stay nice and still.
He's so cute.
I'm so excited right now, you have no idea.
Oh! I'm sorry about that.
Oi.
So it was, like, a legit date?
- I guess. - It was? [chuckles]
You're gonna break the poor boy's heart
if you leave in a year.
Yeah. [chuckles]
Hey, so, uh, remind me again,
what are we doing here?
Oh, just follow my lead.
Hannah! Ugh!
Every time.
Hi, girls. Are you here to see the mayor?
- Yes. Yeah. - She'll be right with you.
- Please take a seat. - Lovely. Thank you.
[telephone ringing]
- [Emma] The mayor? - [Hannah] Uh-huh.
You still haven't told me why we're here.
[Mayor] It was a pleasure speaking with you, girls.
Hello, Hannah. And you must be Emma, the American.
- Lovely to meet you. - Hi.
I've had a chance to review your request for funding.
Charlotte and Abi have also asked me to fund their team.
I'm afraid we can't fund two teams
within such close proximity
in our council area.
So, uh, w-what does this mean?
I was going to present the documentation
from both squads and put it to a vote,
but Abi's had rather...
It was Charlotte.
Oh, was it? Oh.
Charlotte suggested the council support the team
who wins the state championship.
[stammers] We're a new team, though.
We're gonna need funding to even compete.
Well, as Charlotte and Abi pointed out,
Coreega Gymnastics has received
a great deal of funding over the years,
and I think you'll agree it's only reasonable
that the council should support the team
who will best represent our area.
- But... - Good, it's settled.
Whoever achieves the highest result
in the state championships
will receive council funding.
Thank you, girls.
I must move to my next appointment.
You know, Emma, it's not too late
to join a championship team.
Maybe it's time you ditched the losers.
We'll see who the losers are.
[scoffs] Suit yourselves.
Don't say we didn't offer.
She drives me nuts.
Seriously, I just wish Mia was here or something
just to throw a spider at her.
This is good.
How do you figure that?
Hannah, do you not see that Charlotte's
tryin' to stop us from competing?
If we weren't a threat, why would they even bother?
I guess.
But how are we even gonna compete?
Right, we don't even have uniforms.
We can't even afford to pay
our entrance fee for the competition.
Well, we're not giving up. Okay?
I know a guaranteed way to make some money.
It has worked with every squad I have ever been a part of.
[instrumental music]
[Hannah] So this was your big idea?
I don't get it. A car wash and barbecue always works.
Yeah, I'm actually surprised
our incredible team dynamic
isn't doing the charm.
Guys, stop, come on. Just give it to her.
You're not children.
[Tilds] Okay, so we've already washed my car three times now,
trying to inspire someone to pull in.
What's the total?
Well, factoring the cost
of the food and supplies,
we've managed to break even.
[Hannah] So no uniforms,
but we can buy a Magaschoni.
Great.
And where have they been?
I don't know. Footy or training or something.
How's it goin'? You makin' heaps?
No, not good, we even put Issy out in the front
in one of her poses to attract people and...
- [car honks] - That's not working, either.
We gotta do something.
Yeah. Yeah, this is pretty sad.
I've got an idea.
Let's go.
- [Liam] I got an idea, too. - Where are you going?
- Oi, come back. - Wait, hey!
Hey, where you go... We might need that bucket.
When all of our customers pour in.
[instrumental music]
Insurance and incentive.
[Ethan] Your turn at the footy club.
- Hey, guys. How you going? - [man] Hi, guys.
[man] Heard you needed some help.
Brought the boys along to assist.
- All right. - [man] All right.
[chuckling]
- How you doin'? - Real good. Thanks.
Can we help?
Uh, with our fundraiser? Sure.
I'm Bec, that's Millie, Rachel and Will.
- Emma. - [Bec] Yeah, we know.
We heard about your cheer team.
We also heard you're looking for new members.
- Do you guys cheer? - Yeah.
We're a stunt team from the Eastern Hills.
No way! That's perfect.
Wait, but why would you wanna cheer with us?
Well, honestly, Charlotte and Abi
have been terrorizing every other cheer team in the area.
Ours included.
When we heard that someone
was finally forming a team
good enough to take them on,
we wanted to see for ourselves.
Yeah, but are you any good?
[instrumental music]
[chuckling] Wow.
You're decent, I guess.
You're in!
All right, guys, so I've counted the money.
We have way above what we need.
Uniforms, entry fee, everything is covered!
[all cheering]
Yeah, you're welcome.
Good thing Ethan and I came along to save the day.
- [Hannah chuckles] - You were barely even there.
Hey! No, no.
Oh, no, stop, stop, stop!
[all screaming]
Wet 'em.
[screaming]
[Emma] Like I said, a car wash always works.
Not only did we have the money we needed,
but we also picked up the extra team members we needed.
We were also finally acting like a team.
We officially had each other's backs.
Maybe at this exact moment
we were shooting each other in the backs,
but you know what I mean.
[instrumental music]
Stop playing with my hair!
Okay, you'll be pleased to know
the new uniforms have been ordered.
- [all cheering] - [applauding]
So they'll take a couple of weeks to arrive.
We'll just have to make-do in the meantime.
Coach, was it a problem
getting a toddler-sized uniform for Mia?
[laughing]
We'll have to tailor Tilds' uniform
to accommodate her mammoth head and cankles.
- Shut it, pint-size. - [Emma] Guys.
Will you please take it easy?
Things are finally looking up for us.
The last thing we need is internal drama.
So please, take it down a few notches.
Okay, everyone, you guys wanna get in first formation?
Cool.
Okay, stop it with the arm.
Wow, it's like getting pushed by a Chihuahua.
All right, that's enough!
[scoffs] What is it with you two?
- [both] It's her fault. - [Hannah] Seriously...
Why do you guys have it in for each other?
Okay, fine.
You wanna know what the real problem is?
Yes!
Tilds single-handedly sabotaged
one of the most important dance competitions of my life!
Please, you lost that comp just fine on your own.
- Are you kidding me? - Just let Mia talk.
I was in the zone and I was ready to perform, okay?
I was ready to go, and then Tilds just comes along
and she spills her soda all over me.
- That's why you're upset? - It was a really big deal!
I mean, I lost the comp and Tilds won!
Ever since that one night,
I've been playing catch-up to her
and I'm so tired of it.
You're still eating my dust.
All right, you know what?
I can't even listen to "I'm A Little Teapot"
without breaking out in a rash.
Wa-wa-wa-wait.
How old were you when this all happened?
I think I was six.
- And you... I... - Yeah...
Yeah, you were six and I was seven.
- Yeah, yeah! - Yeah.
[Emma] Wait, you guys have got to be kidding.
Okay, look, it was a really big deal.
- All right? - It was actually pretty cute.
I think she was the same height back then.
[Emma] Okay, everyone, just, uh, calm down.
Mia, Tilds,
you need to let it go, okay?
When we're in here, we need to be a family.
When we're on this floor, we need to look out for each other.
Okay? We need to be there for each other.
I know you don't wanna put the rest of your teammates here,
all your friends, at risk
of falling apart and losing.
If we don't, we're never gonna win.
You guys do wanna beat Charlotte and Abi, right?
- Yeah, of course. - Obviously.
Then, on this floor, you're sisters.
Got it?
[mellow music]
- What's happening? - Nothing. We're all good.
Okay.
Well, there's a competition down south this weekend
called the Autumn Cheer Challenge.
And I have registered us to compete.
Oh, wait. So we're gonna compete without our uniforms?
We don't need uniforms, we just...
We need one performance under our belt as a team, okay?
All right, well, why don't we run through the full routine
with music, pretend like it's the real deal,
see if we can get through without stumbling?
Good idea. Okay, let's do it.
First positions.

- Anyone up for a bite? - Yeah.
I can't. Sorry, I got a big night.
And, Emma, I was hoping I could borrow you.
Uh, it's actually kind of important.
Yeah, no prob.
Sorry, Ethan. Can we, maybe do it another night?
- Sure. I'll see you around. - Yeah.
- [Hannah] See you guys. - Bye.
So what's up?
- It... - Oh, uh, okay.
No, okay, we need to work on this. Come on.
- We got a lot of work to do. - [Liam chuckles]
- [cheerleading music playing] - [audience cheering]
Okay, so I checked the competitors list
and Charlotte's squad isn't competing.
Okay? So you can get that out of your head.
Let's just focus on doing our best. Let's do it.
- [cheerleading music playing] - [audience cheering]
[girl] Go!
[Charlotte] Oh, look.
It's Emma and the wannabes.
And they're growing.
Are you taking the worst members
from every cheer squad now?
[Charlotte chuckling]
Abi and I heard that you guys were competing,
so we thought we'd come to offer
some [inhales] moral support. Hm.
This comp is probably more your level.
It's mostly junior teams.
[Abi] Mia and Amahli fit right in.
And Tilds, on an emotional level.
Nice uniforms, by the way.
It was a really smart move to pull them out of a dumpster.
Ignore them. They're just trying to get in our heads.
We know how amazing we are.
[man on PA] Next up,
the only senior-level fourteen.
- Eclipse All-Star Cheer. - Warm up, guys.
[laughing]
Eclipse All-Star Cheer?
That's your name.
Yeah, that's right.
And you can watch us live up to the name.
[scoffs] And you'd think with a name like that
you'd actually have some winners in your team?
[cheerleading music playing]

[audience cheering, applauding]
[sighs]
Well...
that was a disaster.
Pretty much.
We let Charlotte and Abi shake our confidence
right before our routine.
Of course, we were gonna stumble.
I'm so embarrassed. I might as well quit.
Now, if you quit, then I'll quit, too.
- You'd quit because of me? - Oh! Yuck!
We just need an edgy routine, that's all it is.
Edgy routine isn't gonna do anything we haven't done.
[indistinct chatter]
Do you know how embarrassing that was?
Well, it's not just because of you.
[indistinct chatter]
Don't need an edgy routine, we can't do it...
Hey, you guys!
What we need is to work together as a team
and not be at each others' throats.
Look, we all bring something special to the group.
Okay? That's one of our strengths.
And while each of these individual talents are great,
it's not gonna help us if it's dividing us
instead of unifying us.
So what are we supposed to do?
Belly dance like Amahli?
[laughing]
Actually, yeah.
And it's not just belly dancing, either.
Liam, playing footy has taught you
how to work with your teammates, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
And same with you and soccer, Ethan.
Look, not only can we learn how to work
as a single unit, but we'll be able to bring
something new and fresh to the table,
something the judges have never seen before.
What exactly are you suggesting?
I think it's time that we all learned some new moves.
You ready to bust out some hip-hop?
[hip-hop music playing]
Hip-hop is all about attitude.
Left leg, right arm. No.
One, two, three, four.
Five and six. Seven, eight.
In soccer, even when we warm-up,
we wanna be in perfect sync.
We wanna show the opposition and ourselves
that we're on the same page.
[Ethan] See, even without a word,
they're in perfect sync.
So let's give it a shot.
Ready? Yes, that's it.
- Loose. And now you come. - And go.
- You start from the back. - Yeah!
Whoo!
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
All right, guys, so soccer warm-up is all well and good,
but if you guys wanna see some real teamwork,
then just watch and learn.
[indistinct chatter]
♪ Meaner faster stronger ♪
All right, so now we're gonna do that.
Then you start, then you start.
♪ Meaner faster stronger ♪
- All right. - [Liam] Beautiful.
[upbeat music playing]
Okay, guys, core energy is paramount in belly dancing.
So age and body type don't matter.
[Hannah] It's like you're lifting your hip a bit.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I want one of those bell things.
[Middle-Eastern music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[sighs]
You guys! That was insane!
Okay, competition's tomorrow.
If we keep this energy level up,
there's no way we're gonna lose.
Everyone get rest.
I'll see you at the championships.
[Ethan] We could actually stand a chance.
[Hannah] We can, of course, we can.
- What are you talking... - Oh, shoot.
I left my soccer bag inside.
- [Amahli] Oh, I moved it. - [Ethan] See you, guys.
[Amahli] Sorry, I'll come with...
Bye, guys. I think I just...
[upbeat music playing]
What was that?
- Are they... - I don't know.
I feel so stupid.
I thought Liam actually liked me this time.
Come on, we don't know for certain that they're together.
We both saw them, Ethan. What are we supposed to think?
What are you doing?
Hannah?
It's Amahli.
I quit.
So is the team ready for tomorrow?
Yeah. I think so.
We've been training really hard.
Good. Well, I'll be there doing some cheering of my own.
Em...
I know...
I haven't really gotten to know the squad,
but they seem like a good bunch.
- Um, dad? - Hm?
Can we talk about California?
Y-yeah.
- [knocking on door] - [doorbell rings]
[knocking on door]
Hannah? What's up?
- They're quitting? - Yeah.
And not just Ethan and Amahli. Right?
Somehow it spread to the whole team and it's blowing up.
I mean, Tilds and Mia found a reason to fight, of course.
And Bec and her friends are mad
because they gave up performing to join us,
and... we don't even have enough people to compete.
[sighs] So any huge plan to save the day?
Yeah.
[sighs]
[Hannah] I don't know, you can kiss Ethan or something.
I'm just brainstorming here.
I don't know.
Maybe this is a sign.
Maybe I just shouldn't get too involved.
[Hannah] Huh?
Look... I have to tell you something.
I'm not gonna be here for as long as I said I was.
I'm leaving in a month.
What? When were you gonna tell me?
I don't even know if I was going to.
It just would've been easier to hop on a plane and leave.
Hannah, you have no idea what it's like.
Trying to make friends all the time,
just to have to leave them forever.
I've learned to say goodbye
in six different languages.
[Emma] And I'm really not looking forward
to learning how to say it here.
[Hannah] What about all that stuff you said
about being family,
about us being sisters on the floor?
I-I can't be a part of that family.
I can't be here to clean up messes like that, okay?
Maybe you should learn to start leading.
That's great, you know, you like it or not,
you are part of this family.
And if you choose to do nothing 'cause it's easier,
that's your decision.
You know, we all believed in you, Emma.
When you got here, that team had been gutted
by Charlotte and Abi.
And when they left...
we thought about going with them.
- You did? - Yeah.
Right? Cheer was easy.
Not many teams, Charlotte and Abi
even went to nationals in their first year.
Abi told us that we weren't good enough
and that she wouldn't have us and...
Some of us took it really hard.
Like, me and Mia. We believed them.
You came along and you built us to be something better.
So, yeah, all right,
leaving your friends is hard, that I understand.
But what I'm not gonna forgive you for is
coming in, giving the team hope
and then leaving when we need you
'cause you're too scared of saying goodbye.
It's hooroo down here, by the way.
So hooroo, Emma.
Hope we're easy to forget.
I've been looking for you.
I had a fight with Hannah.
I know. I heard.
Em, you know I never wanna upset you, right?
It's just...
I never knew how you really felt.
I know all this moving around isn't easy.
Well... I don't know.
It seemed easier than the alternative.
Ever since your mom died,
moving around made sense.
Not setting down roots,
not getting too close to people.
You know, the less you're close to someone,
the less chances they'll break your heart
when they're gone.
And now I'm worried that I've passed that on to you.
Just you and me. It's selfish.
There are people who need us.
And we need them, too,
even if it risks the hurt.
Come here.
- Dad? - Be honest with me.
You wanna stay here?
[Emma] Yes! Tell him yes!
Yes.
Good.
I'm gonna turn down the job in California.
And I think we might be here a while.
Where are you going?
I have some calls I need to make.
There are people who need me.
And I need them...
even if it hurts.
[upbeat music playing]
[cell phone chimes]
Wait. You guys are here?
I didn't think anyone was coming.
- Did you get the text? - Yeah, I got it.
I thought I was the only one letting the team down, so I came ready to compete.
I don't understand why Em has asked us
to come so early, though.
- Let's go find out. - Yeah.
[Mia] Do you think she's downstairs?
[man on PA] ...the B team.
Can the Eclipse team
please assemble in the room upstairs?
[Hannah] Wait, the whole team's here?
[Tilds] Yup, I thought I was the only one
who got the text until everyone started showing up.
[Emma on PA] If I could have your attention please...
What is she up to?
Um, I wanna thank you all for coming.
I know some of you may not be too happy with me right now.
Some of you think that I betrayed you.
But I just want you to know
that I would never do anything to hurt you
and I would never do anything
to destroy everything that we've built.
And to prove that, um, I'm gonna need some help.
So...
Amahli, will you join me?
I don't understand. What's happening?
Could everybody please give a warm welcome
to our pre-show performer,
the Brighton Bombers' very own number 18,
Liam Nelson.
- [man] Yay! - [woman] Nice shirt, Liam.
- I'm loving those frills. - [laughing]
Liam, what is going on?
I'm fixing a mistake.
And I'm showing what I was doing with Emma.
Amahli, may I have this dance?
["De Aqui Pa Alla" playing]
[song continues]
So that's what you guys were doing.
- Learning to salsa? - That's it, man.
Trust me, Emma's got zero interest in me.
And besides, I've only got eyes on one girl.
Okay, you're officially forgiven.
- Hey. - Hey.
Look, that was really cool what you did.
I mean, I feel kinda stupid.
Like, for jumping to conclusions.
No, it's, it's okay.
You had good reasons to doubt how I felt.
Look, I haven't been
as upfront and honest as...
I'd like to be.
But I'm ready for that to change...
starting now.
[instrumental music]
Can you give me a second?
You pulled out all the stops to get the team back together.
- You must really wanna win. - I do.
You guys, can I just say something?
[sighs] Look, I know that things have been a little rough.
There's been tension in the group.
And I really hope that we can all
put that to rest
because this is the best squad
I've ever been a part of.
And it's not just the talent, even though
we have a ton of that.
I mean, even those of us that fight
have learned to put our differences aside.
But over everything...
you guys are my friends...
my family.
The truth is that I need you.
And I think if we stick together,
we can do really great things.
And I know that we can still win this championship
if we still want it.
This team's good enough,
no matter what anybody else has told you.
So what do you say?
Let's go win ourselves a championship.
[Hannah] On three, guys.
- One, two, three. - Rah!

Charlotte, Abi.
Good luck.
Thanks, but we don't need luck.
Yeah, we have talent.
I managed to weed out anyone that's dragging us down.
Do you know what, Abi? I'm glad you didn't take me in your team.
Because when we beat you today and your squad realizes
they've had to put up with how awful you are for nothing,
they're gonna drop you so fast,
you're gonna be begging us to let you join.
Oh, please, my team are gonna stay as the best.
And your team, well,
you can go back to being the worst gymnastics squad.
Come on, girls, we have a championship to win.
Abi is the worst.
When I was training before gym state comp,
Abi convinced me that the venue had changed.
So my parents and I drove to the wrong place.
And by the time we got to the right one,
I missed my first apparatus.
Charlotte won, and Abi came in second.
Wow! Charlotte and Abi really will do anything to win.
I know, right? My folks got so mad.
They switched me from gym to dance.
Also that Abi could cheat her way to a medal.
Wait. Wait, guys, guys, I've got it.
All right, I can call my spider guy, okay?
All we need are a couple of buckets.
We head up to the rafters,
wait for their finale and then, boom!
It's raining spiders.
Okay, come on, let's go get ready.
I thought it was a good idea.
- Wait, really? - [laughing] Nah.
- [laughs] What? - Come on.

[crowd cheering, applauding]
- [whistling] - Whoo!
[man on PA] Just waiting for the final scores.
And the grand champion winner
is Eclipse All-Star Cheer.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new championship team.
ACC have been eclipsed.
Two-time champions ACC have been beaten.
- [grunting] - [crowd cheering]
[man on PA] The presentations will commence shortly.
How did this even happen?
Because they're really good.
Not as good as us. Whose side are you on anyway?
I'm with the judges. They won fair and square.
How can you say that after everything I've done for you?
Oh, come on, Charlotte.
You're not exactly the one with the brains.
You would never have left that stupid gymnastics team
if I hadn't orchestrated on getting you all out.
What are you talking about?
ACC. The A is for Abi. It's my team.
I'm the one that even suggested we form a cheer squad.
I set us up with the fundings, which you lost.
I made sure we only had the best,
and now it's over.
You guys are nothing without me.
[scoffs] You know what, Abi?
Hannah was right about you. You really are awful.
And I'm not gonna take it anymore.
Fine. We don't need you anymore.
Right, guys?
I don't need any of you.
[man on PA] Come on up, Eclipse All-Star Cheer,
to collect the champions trophy.
[cheering]
[Emma] So that's how our team went from hot mess
to Australia's hottest cheer squad.
Well, soon-to-be.
[crowd applauding]
[sighs] Congratulations.
Thanks. We have a great team.
Look, I'm not gonna beat around the bush.
You guys were right.
- We want to combine teams. - What?
Listen, Abi is gone. Okay?
And none of us have any interest
in being part of a team like that again.
We wanna go bigger. Nationals.
But our team is too small, and, frankly, so is yours.
If either of us want a shot at placing,
we have to combine forces.
No way. After everything you've done...
Hannah... she's right.
If we wanna go to nationals, we need to double
the size of our team. And they all have to be pros.
I mean, where else are we gonna find that?
Em, it's Charlotte.
This whole time we've been trying to beat her.
I know, and [chuckles] we did.
And I mean, now that it's all done,
maybe it's time that we extended our family a little bit.
But I'm not gonna do it unless you're okay with it.
I mean, unless you guys are all okay with it.
But Emma is captain.
Twenty-three!
- Almost a full team. - [Caitlin] Twenty-three?
- That's enough to win nationals. - [all cheering]
[Emma] Until we take nationals,
at least I have someone to take my breath away
and a best friend to watch my back.
Dad turned down his promotion in California
and requested an extended assignment in Adelaide.
I think he's learning that letting other people
into your life has its advantages.
I was really glad I didn't have to say goodbye
to my new family, but I've learned
that goodbyes aren't forever.
So until we meet again, goodbye,
sayonara, auf wiedersehen, ciao,
zaijian, cheers and hooroo from Down Under.
