Going for Gold Page #8

---

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!

Y'all ready?

One two three four five six

do it

[upbeat music playing]

[crowd cheering]

Let me see your alligator!

What's that you say?

I said let me see

your alligator

What's that you say?

I said

Let me see your alligator

What's that you say?

I said

Let me see your alligator

What's that you say?

I said stop

[music continues]

[crowd cheering]

[man on PA] Next up, our final

and highest level event,

open level four, competing

for the grand champions trophy.

Go bananas go go bananas

Go bananas go go bananas

Go bananas

Go go bananas

Go bananas go go bananas

Go go go go go go go go

go go go go

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]

[man on PA] Here they are,
