The Cheetah Girls Page #2

are first in line to win this thing.

And when we do, we will be needing

buckets to bring in the ducats

when it comes raining down.

And then I will cover you in ice,

and we'll have "yes, sir" and "no, sir"

butlers and maids.

- How do you like that plan?

- I love your plan, sweetheart.

And your plans and your dreams

are very important to us.

But before we can get to

maids and butlers and ice,

we have to get to some responsibility.

So, here's my plan.

That you focus on real life

and real chores, real, real soon.

I promise I will get it together. Promise.

Come on, Caper.

Daddy needs totos.

Bye.

See ya.

What is this?

What's she trying to...

Ma, looking for something?

Found it, huh? The bomb top

to wear to dinner tonight.

Ma, don't say "bomb". It's out.

Say "tight".

Tight. Tight.

As in "That top is too tight

for anybody's mom to wear."

It was cold.

But the Cheetah Girls, Ma...

- Ooh, now it's working.

...were off the hook.

Ma, what about this?

It's cheetahlicious. Yeah.

Now this is tight, huh? You're gonna

be my daughter the fashion buyer.

No, Ma. I'm gonna be your daughter

the Cheetah Girl, remember?

Did you say somethin', mija?

Yeah, I said..."So, another date

with that French guy?"

Excuse me, but Luc is not just

"that French guy".

How would you like it if people called you

"the Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican..."

- They do. That's who I am.

- No.

I taught you that what matters

is what's inside.

And deep inside, Luc is...

very, very...

rich.

I'm just joking.

There he is. OK, my baby,

you're gonna lock up, OK? And let's see.

Pucci is staying at your dad's, so you don't

have to worry about him at all. OK? And...

I know I'm forgetting something,

I know...

- Ma? Ma? You might want that.

- Baby, you are my angel. Come here.

- Mommy...

- I'm on celly, jelly.

- OK. Mommy, I want to talk to you...

- We'll be back later, OK?

- Ma. Ma!

- I'm so late.

I love ya.

By the way, Ma,

I hit a high C today

with the Cheetah Girls.

Cheetah Girls

Could ever be

Made mistakes before

But I know I'm not perfect

It's OK cos...

- Bueno?

- Hey, Chuchie. Madrina still not home?

Nope. I guess Mr Tycoon

flew her to Paris for dinner.

I'm still here for you, Chuchie,

you know that.

- Thanks, Bubbles.

- No problem. Hey, girl, listen to this.

I made mistakes before

But I know I'm not perfect

It's OK cos who could...

Hey, Toto, do you like that one?

Guess what, Chuchie? Toto likes it.

Is it gonna be a hit, Toto?

All right, he thinks it's a hit.

Go Cheetahs, go Toto.

Win the talent show,

we goin' straight to the top.

Yeah, let's get through

the tryouts first, a'ight?

As long as I give my best

It don't matter what no one says

Cos down in my heart

I got the power to make it all happen...

Hey, Chanel, how did that test go?

Are you guys sure that the Louisiana

Purchase had nothing to do with gumbo?

Chuchie, you can't drop your grades now.

I'm calling a Cheetah study session.

It's OK. I'll walk you through

the history of her story

and you can walk me

through your closet.

A'ight.

- Cheetah.

- Crikey, Mackerel.

We've spotted the wild Cheetah Girls

doin' their secret girl handshake.

What would they do if they were, say,

the Elephant Girls?

Basta pasta, Derek. You too, Mackerel.

You know, we call ourselves the Cheetahs

because the cheetah is the fastest, fiercest

feline in the jungle. Let's bounce, girls.

I'm trying to keep it

Lite FM with you, Derek. OK?

I'm saving my energy for

the talent show, remember?

Or are you throwing in the towel

cos you know you're gonna lose?

See, that's what I need

to talk to you about.

See, your little project

auditions at 3:
15, right?

We're at 3:
30. Can we switch times?

Our setup takes time.

We use real instruments.

And help you? I don't think so.

I have an orthodontist's appointment

and my mom's gonna freak if I'm late.

Let 'em take the spot. I have to meet

with Mrs Almanac about my history test.

You know what? I'm not very

comfortable with change.

- But how's everybody else?

- It's cutting a little tight for me, but...

- Where do you always have to go, Do?

- Nowhere. Don't worry, I'm fine.

OK, Hambone. Whatever.

Just know that you can audition

five times, but you're still gonna lose.

Keep believin', freshman.

I respect that.

But you know you're still my boo.

She likes you.

He's trying so hard not to like you.

And I think now would be

the proper time to point out

that he is extra-specially cheetahlicious.

It's a trick, you guys. Every time he bats

those long eyelashes of his,

it's just a way to bring down the hammer

on our success. Don't fall for it.

He even makes really embarrassing

things look really, really cute.

And he wants you to be his boo.

He's gonna be cryin' "boohoo"

when we win the talent show.

True.

Let's get out of here.

May the growl power of all the fabulous

divas who came before us be with us now.

May we use our hearts,

our brains and our courage

to reach our cheetahlicious potential.

Right here, right now.

Ready, girls?

- Cheetah!

- Let's do this.

OK, here we go.

OK. Be quiet.

Here, push this one.

When I was just a little girl

My mama used to tuck me into bed

And she'd read me a story

It always was about

a princess in distress

And how a guy would save her

And end up with the glory

I'd lie in bed and think about

The person that I wanted to be

Then one day I realised

The fairy-tale life wasn't for me

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' in a dark. Cold. Dusty cellar

Waiting for somebody

To come and set me free

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince

to come and save me

Oh. I will survive

I know somebody's on my side

Don't wanna be no. No. No one else

I'd rather rescue myself

I can slay my own dragons

I can dream my own dreams

My knight in shining armour

Is me

So I'm gonna set me free

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' in a dark. Cold. Dusty cellar

Waitin' for somebody

To come and set me free

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince

to come and save me

Oh. I will survive

I know somebody's on my side

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' in a dark. Cold. Dusty cellar

Waitin' for somebody

To come and set me free

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince

to come and save me

Oh. I will survive

I know somebody's on my side

Don't wanna be no. No. No one else

I'd rather rescue myself

So, Drinka, what do you think?

Drinka? Drinka, you still there? Drinka?

- Drinka, were we that bad?

- Yeah.

- Tell them. They can take it.

- I'm all right.

I will survive.

It's just that...

when I see you girls,

I see myself.

I mean, not now as a lowly high-school art

teacher, but as Drinka Champagne, 1977.

I had a hit.

- Champagne bubbles of love

- Sing it, girl.

You're the only one

I been dreamin' of...

Drinka... You gotta slow down

the disco fever, Drinka.

You know what? When I see you girls,
