and tell him what equipment you need.

5 Leo Rise is going to perform

at our school.

Get going.

All right.

Mr. Scooter,

it is a pleasure to meet you.

Kidnap a boy band.

See what she got me into, man?

Girls.

Come on, pick up,

pick up, pick up.

She's just going to keep calling

till I pick up.

You know I'm just

going to call again. Pick up.

- Hello?

- Hello?

- What?

- I know I'm in best friend Siberia...

...but I wanted to let you know to wear

something really cute to school...

Hello?

Guys? Wake up.

Scooter.

Come on, Scooter, wake up.

We've got to go.

Morning.

Mason, wake up.

- Mason, wake up!

- What?

We've got to go.

It's showtime.

I normally sleep till noon.

Come on.

Got to go. Mason, got to go.

Got to rock. Come on.

Got to go.

Rock 'n' roll, Mason.

All right.

I just... I still don't understand

what the screaming was about.

They were screaming, like...

"Devon, give me the phone and... "

They hung up the phone...

I don't know what the...

they hung up the phone.

The assembly starts in ten minutes,

so we've got to book.

- There's Devon.

- "You can trust them. "

Hurry, hurry.

Devon Lisette,

if you want to live to see 17,

get out of that car right now.

- You took an oath, young lady.

- I can't explain right now...

...but there are things

more important than the oath.

No. Dad, it's not her fault.

I told her it was okay.

No, there's nothing okay about this.

Go, go.

Get out of this car right now!

Turn it off!

Who are those boys...

are those boys laughing at me?

Hey! Where you going?

Wait!

Watch where you're going,

firestarter.

Sorry, Kira. It's...

I just... I...

I, I, I, I... what, Gabby?

Breathe, believe.

Breathe, believe.

Breathe, believe.

Oh, my God.

What is she doing?

Look out, everyone, she's about

to explode with geekiness.

Please don't get any on me.

Breathe, believe.

What?

What are you smiling at?

Yeah, what's so funny?

I guess it's more sad than funny.

What?

I'm just curious, Kira.

Why are you so cruel to people?

What?

I'm not cruel.

'Cause I know someone

who was mean to everyone

just so they wouldn't find out

that he might not be as cool

as he pretended to be.

Well, yeah, but... I am cool.

Yeah. No... yeah,

you're cool, way cool.

'Cause if you were cool,

you could afford to be nice.

See you at the assembly.

Guys, I'm really nice.

Guys... I am so nice.

Okay, guys, the sound check's done.

The drum kit and keys are on stage.

All you got to do is plug in.

Well, isn't this cute.

This isn't good.

What the hell were you thinking?

Would you tell him?

We were kidnapped.

KK, man, I think you've got

an overactive imagination, dude.

Whoa. What's with the instruments?

We don't actually think

we're going to play these, do we?

- Instrumenski?

- Da, man. Da.

Wait, where's Ritchie?

Why, you got to prep him

for his solo tour?

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Where is he?

Hey, guys! Are you ready

to rock this school?

Whoa, Ritchie.

Come on, man.

We do not want to mess

with the people

at the Aropostale campaign.

We're talking

Times Square billboards.

Hollace, save it, all right?

We're going to go in there

and play a show with instruments.

If you follow, you're fired.

See? I told you I'd come through.

I know you did.

Okay, we've got to go,

got to go.

No love?

Seriously? Why?

Thank God you made it.

Couldn't let my best fans down.

That's her!

Way to go, Gabby!

Kira, don't even worry.

You're not only cool,

you're a varsity cheerleader.

Yeah, and?

Student council president.

Who is Gabby Davis?

- Nobody.

- Who are you?

- Somebody.

- Right.

- What is all this crap?

- I don't know.

I don't like things

on my stage with me.

What's up, Highland High?

Welcome

to your Monday assembly.

Today we have the important issue

to discuss of interior decorating.

You know that Jackie O,

she was, like...

I mean, she died, but she was alive,

like, a while ago,

and she was married

to some president or something.

But anyway,

she had great big black...

It's 5 Leo Rise!

Who are those people?

Hey, you guys know

where Gabby Davis is?

- Gabby.

- KK!

Hi, Scooter!

Nikolai, over here!

Jackie O redec...

Latecomers

are not usually welcome here.

Breathe and believe, Ritchie.

Breathe and believe.

Yes!

Yo, what up, Highland High School?

Word is y'all lost a little concert.

But our girl Gabby Davis

didn't want to leave y'all hanging.

She hooked this all up for you guys.

Gabby, get up here.

Hi, everyone.

I just wanted to say

that I'm really, really sorry

for the whole shift label

fiasco thing.

And, of course,

I couldn't have done it

without my best friend,

Devon Thompson.

Gabby! Gabby! Gabby!

No, okay? Okay, no!

This is not okay.

This is not a student council-

approved assembly.

5 Leo Rise or not...

- Put down the mike!

... Gabby Davis is still a huge dork.

Boo!

I mean, guys...

look at what she's wearing.

That's enough drama

for one day.

You guys ready to rock?

Pete, curtain.

I'm so sorry I doubted you.

I'm, like, the worst best friend ever.

No, I am. I shouldn't have

bossed you around.

You deserve respect,

and I know you do things

your own way.

And I did.

I stood up to Kira.

Wow, I'm so pissed off

I missed that.

Hey, girl, what's your name?

I think I caught you looking my way

Do you want to know

How to get me all to your own?

Weekends work the best

I'll pick the place,

you do the rest

Hey, now, don't be shy

But you've got to keep me in line

Love at first sight

Never thought

it could happen to me

But you made me believe

Kidnap my heart

Take me with you

Kidnap my heart

Make my dreams come true

Send me away

'Cause falling in love ain't very far

Not far from the start

Kidnap my heart

Can you get me up?

More fun I could ever dream of

My God, it's Nikolai.

It's Nikolai, oh my God.

Stop it.

Shut up.

- You know what, Kira?

- What?

Gabby was right.

You're not as cool

as you think you are.

...hold on tight for the ride

Love at first sight

Never thought

it could happen to me

But you made me believe

Kidnap my heart

Breathe and believe,

breathe and believe.

Kidnap my heart

Make my dreams come true

Devon put all this together?

Yeah, I... I kind of helped her.

Ain't very far

Not far from the start

Kidnap my heart

You've got to hold me tighter

'Cause I'm a real fighter

Don't tear us apart

That guitar player's so cute.

Love at first sight

Never thought

it could happen to me

But you made me believe

Kidnap my heart

Take me with you

Kidnap my heart

Make my dreams come true

Take me away

- 'Cause falling in love

- Dude, wait.

There's a rumor going around

that you kidnapped these wussies.

I can't confirm or deny

any of those allegations,

but check out the RMLF website.

You'll get all the info you need.

You are a legend, man.

Man, I know I'm a legend.

You don't have to tell me.

Kidnap my heart

Oh, my gosh.

I am your number-one fan.
