right now... what would it be?

I would... ride a Ferris wheel.

- Really?

- Yeah, mm-hm.

- Why?

- I love Ferris wheels.

I've loved them ever since

I was a little girl.

Well, you're in luck.

I just happen to know where one is.

I know that we will

We will last forever

Oh, oh, no.

I promise we will

We will last forever

- Oh my God!

- You like it?

Oh, my God, this is so good.

Where did it even come from?

One night only... and it's all for us.

Come on.

This is just to good.

Hello.

Well, hi.

- Right this way.

- Thank you.

Thanks.

This feels right.

- Whoo!

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

- This is so cool.

Yeah, it is.

Everything you wanted?

Oh, this is like, this is the dream.

I'm obsessed with this.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, how do you like singing

with our chorus?

- I like it.

- Yeah?

I just wish we were singing

something more... now.

- Yes.

- Or at least 2003.

Mm-hm. Mr. Moody plays it so safe.

It's probably why Hayden

has never won the Slam.

Hm.

Man, it would feel so good

just to win one time.

We're gonna win the Slam

this year... I promise.

This is the perfect fall night.

- I've never seen fall before.

- No.

I'm from Huntington Beach.

Well, you are in for a treat,

because nothing beats New England falls.

Have you ever heard of the

Heavenly Pursuit?

What's that?

Okay, well, autumn is the time

of year that the moon...

after pursuing the sun, since spring,

finally catches up to her.

But, then he out distances her,

and, the whole pursuit begins again.

It's kind of like,

two lovers who lose one another.

But, his love is so powerful that...

he spends his entire life trying to find her.

That sounds kinda tragic.

Yeah, I know, I'm a total sucker

for a tragic love story.

But I think every girl wants a moon.

Yeah.

This has been the coolest night.

Yeah.

I don't get it, I've lived here my whole life

and no one even knows who I am.

Come on, that's not true.

- Hi, Liza.

- Who are you?

Lonnie Gregory, your next door

neighbor for the past 17 years.

Doesn't ring a bell. Sorry.

Course not, hey, thanks for not

inviting me to your Sweet 16.

It was beautiful from what I saw

from the window anyways.

But that's what I mean, you.

You show up four weeks ago,

and now your life is like this

amazing fairy tale, right?

I keep thinking about it. I mean it's like,

it's a little annoying, actually, but in a good way.

Okay Lonnie,

I have to tell you something.

But you gotta promise me that

you won't tell anyone. Promise?

- Yeah, not even Mom.

- You sure? You talk a lot.

- I know I talk a lot, just tell me.

- Okay, okay.

I have a magic app on my phone...

and whatever I post on it... comes true.

- I'm sorry, what? What?

- It's insane.

Oh my God, I have the same app,

I thought I was the only one.

- Really?

- Yeah, no, dude! Come on, you lost your mind.

- Lonnie, I'm telling the truth.

- Okay, fine, if that was even a possibility,

which I'm not saying that it is,

how would that even work?

I'll tell you, okay, so my phone broke,

so I took it to the mall to this bearded dude.

- Bearded dude?

- Bearded dude.

He gave me a new phone with this

app called YOUniverse on it.

The YOUniverse is always eavesdropping.

There's this unicorn,

and if the unicorn posts a tweet in the woods,

and then deletes the tweet,

does it make a sound?

Oh, man, you Californians, okay.

I'm not crazy. I'm telling you the truth.

It does sound crazy, because

it's bullshit, all right?

Lonnie!

Look, if anyone understands the

need for fantasy, it's me.

I mean, I spend more of my time

on Azeroth than I do on earth.

But, I don't go around trying to convince people

that I'm Archmage Khadgar the Wizard.

Maybe you guys do things

differently in California.

Maybe it's the avocados, maybe it's the stuff

everyone's smoking, you know what I'm saying?

But, we don't do things like that.

No one~ What is that?

This is a gift.

This is my favorite skateboard.

- Cool.

- And I want to give it to you.

- What?

- I want you to have it.

- It's for you, come on.

- That's so awesome.

That's the nose, that's the tail.

And those two bolts, are what you stand on.

Oh, I don't know, my ankles, remember?

And it's like the height.

- Lonnie, get on the board.

- I'm afraid of heights. Okay, here I go, um.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

You smell like avocados.

You smell so good.

What do you put in your hair?

It's, my hair's just~

- You're good.

- It's so high up here.

- Does anybody get a nose bleed?

- You're gonna be fine, Lonnie.

- How high up are we right now?

- An inch.

An inch, that's a lot.

Just, what do I do now?

You kick back and enjoy

the ride.

Oh, my God, I'm getting light hands,

because it's so hot.

Whoa, whoa! What's going on!?

I'm not doing anything.

Why is it taking off?

Whoa, I'm actually skateboard~

Get out of the way!

Look at me!

Whoa, whoa.

Look at you rip, doggie!

Yeah!

Is that Grimace?

It's me, Lonnie.

You don't know my name, that's okay.

Can't you hear what I say

Just get out of my way

Just get out of my way

Watch this.

This is the coolest thing I've

ever done! Like, by far!

It's the best day of my life!

Lonnie! Lonnie!

Lonnie! You all right, man?

How many fingers?

- You have fingers.

- Come on, let's get you up.

You gotta watch what you're eating,

I mean, going.

What do you think you're doing?

You could've seriously hurt him.

Well it's not my fault he's fat, and uncoordinated.

Yeah?

Well if it's so easy, why don't you try it?

Or are you just some p*ssy in a letter jacket?

Look at me, I'm riding a skateboard.

- What are you doing?

- Watch this.

It's so easy.

Whoa, what? Whoa, slow down.

Yo, what is going on?

Yo, guys, stop this.

Yo, Oliver! Dude, hey, dude!

Stop, stop! Move back away!

Aren't you going to study

for the Spanish test?

I'm just gonna wing it.

Okay, wow, you know, you are the only person I know,

that never studies and gets all A's.

- You write music?

- Oh, it's nothing.

Sing something for me.

No.

Okay, shut your face,

it's not happening.

Dani, I don't know!

I've never heard of the game

Truth or Dare before!

What are you doing?

My mom will hear you.

- Dani, what are you doing?

- Kyle, stop it!

Dani, what's going on up there?

Nothing, Mom! Nothing!

Stop it. You're a freak.

Get over there.

If you so much as roll your eyes,

I swear, I'll murder you.

All right, cross my heart and hope to die.

Drowning?

Mm-hm, yes, I know,

it sounds a little morbid, but,

it's really just a conversation

between two people falling in love.

Yeah, leave it to me to write a

song that sounds like a eulogy.

Whoa, wait, wait, wait.

You gotta sing it for me.

- No, Kyle, no, you know I'm not~

- Just a few verses, please?

Just a few verses, that's all I'm asking for.

Agh.

Seems like the love songs have got it all wrong

I thought I would fly

And it's getting darker the further we fall

And I'm feeling high

That's great... here.
