Not yet. But... we'll find him.

Can I sleep in here for a bit?

Yeah. Sure.

[Snoring]

You know. None of them are ever

gonna show up here this late.

I'll go down to the store

and steal some gum.

Uh. Grab me

a pepperoni stick. Will you?

CONNOR. The beach volleyball

championships are coming up.

You'll never believe it.

The grand prize is

a trip to Malibu...

to watch the California

Pro Beach Volleyball Tour.

Malibu. Andrea.

That's in California.

- Wait. Did you say California?

- Yes. I said California.

The whole team gets to go

if we win the tournament here.

[Woof]

ANDREA:
OK. So what do I do?

CONNOR. OK. Now remember.

Eye on the ball.

OK. There's one last thing

I have to show you.

It's the spike.

It just takes time.

Remember...

CONNOR. Let's do it.

[Whimpers]

[Gasp]

CONNOR. We'll have

to work on that one.

Oh. They've been

at this for hours.

They've got to be

getting hungry.

Ohh. I'm so used

to talking to you.

Where are you. Polly?

HRAM. I know teenagers

are always hungry.

do I meet the team?

CONNOR. So that's Coach

pumping up the ball.

This is Chris. Tasha.

would help us out.

It's been so hard

with the five of us.

Coach McKay.

[Gasp]

Ohh.

Coach. This is the new player

I was talking about... Andrea.

Hey. Tasha.

Is everything OK. Coach?

Well. I got some bad news.

Tasha can't play anymore.

What?

COACH.

Her parents just decided...

to take her to spend

the rest of the summer...

with her grandmother.

But she's our setter!

- The tournament!

- I know.

BOY. Oh. Man.

I have an idea.

Where's Noah?

Noah. He's a little...

well. Little. Don't you think?

ANDREA. Don't worry. Coach.

I'll be back in a few minutes.

She's back!
