Going for Gold Page #3

---

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.

[chuckles] Okay.

Hands in the sky go hard

Here we go...

There they are. ACC.

Adelaide City Cheer.

Or never lie

You keep me waiting

For another time

Can't keep it down

Or never lie lie lie...

- Sorry.

- Hey.

Hi. Nice seeing you again.

Hey.

I see you've already met Ethan.

Um, not officially.

Oh, well, uh, we might

have to change that, "Hey."

But for now, keep your head

in the game, okay?

Don't forget why we're here.

Flying flying

flying out of love

Flying flying flying...

Wow, they're good.

Good?

Well, but we'll be better.

- [upbeat music]

- [cheering]

[whistle blows]

[music continues]

I have to admit,

I had an ulterior motive

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.

You ready?

Let's do this.

[cheerleading music playing]

Pump it pump it up

Pump it up

Pump it pump it pump it

pump it up

Watch me

Yeah

Oh

[music continues]

[Emma] Guys, just do exactly

what we did at practice.

Are you ready?

Yeah do it

That's what

I'm talking about

That's what

I'm talking about

Yeah do it do it

that's what I'm talking about

That's what

I'm talking about

Is that the best you've got?

[scoffs]

[whispering]

Let's call the boys.

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

You can't touch this

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Nice try, but looks like

your team loses.

[scoffs] Again.

Let us know when you graduate

from the Junior League

and can actually cheer.

[laughs]

Honestly, say the word

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.
