Welcome to Ridge Valley High..

'...conference

today in the auditorium.'

...tech billionaire

Tobias Bloom's

innovative center for learning

where the youth of today

become the leaders of tomorrow.

Tobias Bloom invested

in Ridge Valley High

after his Azalea phone

became a world-wide phenomenon.

Good morning, class.

Now Ridge Valley High

depends on his immersive

teaching methods

to engage and inspire.

We believe technology

isn't just a tool..

Hello, Olivia.

Thank you.

...it's a way of life.

Have a sustainable day.

'What happened

to that amusement park'

'to make the rides

come to life after dark?'

'Was it Old Man Weatherby'

'the mysterious

swinging ship operator?'

Or maybe kids playing a prank.

Or maybe because of something

extra-terrestrial.

'Alright, more would be

next week paranormals.'

I gotta get to school.

This is Daphne Blake

signing off.

Aliens did not mess

with that theme park, Daphne.

Uh, maybe they did, Velma,

we don't know.

Um, statistically,

it's 100% more likely

that a system malfunction

caused those rides to turn on.

You know, for a girl who doesn't

believe in the paranormal

you sure do keep up

with my posts about it.

Yeah, well, somebody

has to debunk you.

Plus, how else am I gonna

keep up with my internet BFF

while she's jettin'

around the world?

Where are you now, anyway?

Japan? Nigeria?

Mars?

Actually,

I have some exciting news.

I know I've been

kind of cagey lately

but I can finally tell you

I've been...

Oh, about those prawn

and ketchup chips

you sent me from Tokyo?

They already arrived.

Tastes like gerbil.

But in a good way.

You know what I mean?

You know what

gerbil tastes like?

- Don't worry about it.

- 'But no, no.'

It's-it's not that.

This is way better.

I'm in Ridge Valley! Ah!

Ridge Valley?

Like where I live Ridge Valley?

Yeah, my mom got relocated and

I start at your school today.

We can finally be

best friends IRL.

- Oh.

- I thought you'd be excited.

- It's just...

- Just what?

Velma, you are my best friend.

This is awesome news.

'Daphne, breakfast in 15.'

Uh, I gotta go,

but I'll see you soon, I guess?

See you soon.

Where the youth of today..

Oh, gosh.

It's just high school.

Tobias Bloom..

Hey, turn on

my pump-up playlist.

Mm-hmm. Turn up the beat.

Alright, let's do this.

What should I wear?

I'm looking for the perfect

first day of school outfit.

'Outfit complete.'

Cute.

Oh, please tell me

that's French toast I smell.

- Good morning, mom.

- Good morning, sweetheart.

Ha, I called it!

- Morning, dad.

- Good morning, darling.

Hm.

So, mom, are you nervous

about your new job?

I mean, I know your company

was a big deal

but Bloom Innovative, wow!

I'm so excited.

I'm just so thrilled

to finally meet Tobias Bloom.

Mm. Hashtag job goals.

Is that not a thing anymore?

- Not really.

- Oh!

Note to self, hashtag's out.

What about you, sweetheart?

I mean, your first day

at a new school.

I mean, high school to boot.

- Are you nervous?

- Not really.

I mean, if I can make it through

school in Argentina and Japan

California

should be pretty easy.

And there is no way

that Ridge Valley is any crazier

than that school

in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

Yeah, that school

was definitely not certified.

You mean the principal

with the eye patch

and the missing teeth

didn't tip you off?

There was nothing wrong

with that school until it sank.

What's this?

Mm, those are the moons

of Saturn.

Cool.

Mm, pretty.

Anyway,

school is gonna be awesome.

Things always have a way

of working out.

Hey, Velma, turn

that frown upside down.

- Come on, Velma.

- Watch it.

- 'Velma!'

- 'What's her problem?'

- 'Oh, no.'

- 'Look where you're goin'.'

Ah, my muffin.

- 'Okay. Here you go, kiddo.'

- 'Great.'

Thanks.

It's gonna be great.

It's gonna be awesome.

'Velma.'

Are you Daphne, the new girl?

Yea. Is it that obvious

that I'm new here?

Oh, not at all, I was already

e-mailed your full profile

before you got here.

Oh, wow, that's..

I'm Carol, the senior advisor

at Ridge Valley High

and I'm also the tour guide

for new students.

- 'Heads up!'

- Ooh.

No way.

Legitimate Tulip,

they're my favorite band.

Uh, okay, never heard of them.

You almost just got

smacked in the face.

- I did?

- Uh-huh.

Oh!

Guess I lucked out.

It's kind of my thing.

Okay.

'Welcome to another

beautiful day at Ridge Valley.'

Wow, this is incredible.

'Just a reminder,

it's World Appreciation Week.'

- Hello, Daphne Blake.

- Hello.

- Pretty cool, huh?

- Yeah.

Since our school is sponsored

by Bloom Innovative

we get to beta test

all of their latest inventions.

Including the Azalea-9 phone.

It's brand-new. So here.

'Griffin Griffiths.

He's got blue eyes.'

- 'He's 6'1".'

- 6'2".

Thinks he's the cutest guy

in school.

He's actually probably

the second cutest at best.

- All yours.

- Thank you.

Hey, you're the new girl, right?

- Yeah.

- I'm Spencer.

- 'Hey.'

- AKA the nicest guy ever.

And basically,

the next Tobias Bloom.

Total computer genius.

And this is Mikayla.

She likes art.

Wait, really, that's all I get?

I'm Daphne.

I just moved here from..

...well, all over.

We travel a lot

for my mom's work.

- She invented Matchmouth.

- Wait.

- What?

- Your mom invented Matchmouth?

That's so cool. I mean,

their use of dog-face filters

for actual dogs

was revolutionary.

I actually kind of helped her

come up with that one.

- What?

- That's my favorite feature.

That's so cool.

Isn't she so cool?

You're, you're so cool.

I'm actually glad

we ran into you guys.

I was just about to show

Daphne the main event.

This is the Bloom Bracket.

It's a real-time ranking

'of all the underclassmen

at Ridge Valley.'

You're scored on grades,

sports, extracurricular.

'Even social media activity's

taken into account.'

- It's like a GPA on steroids.

- Mm-hm.

Wow. It sounds pretty intense.

It is, but in a good way.

At the end of each semester,

whoever is the top student

of the Bloom Bracket gets an

internship at Bloom Innovative.

Also known as the coolest place

on Earth.

Can you guys imagine getting

to work for the Tobias Bloom?

I mean,

I've got this perfect idea..

Wait, let me pitch it to you.

Okay. So imagine your phone

could make a pie.

Uh, wait, that actually

sounds kind of weird.

Slow down there, boy genius.

Spencer here

is currently number one.

'I think he's gonna win it all.'

Boy genius? Can we age it up

to teen genius?

- Hunky-man genius?

- Right.

- Okay.

- Right.

Suddenly,

I'm thinking baby genius.

- Bye, guys.

- Hey, Velma!

You can ignore her,

but you can't ignore me.

- You know Velma?

- Yeah, we're friends.

Velma has friends.

You know, I think I'm actually

gonna go catch up with her.

- So I'll see you later?

- Okay.

- Bye, Daphne. Bye.

- Okay, bye.

Velma has friends.

Wow.

Hey, Velma.

Geez, it is her, right?

'Match not found.'

Velma, wait.

I can't talk to you right now,
