The Cheetah Girls Page #6

Oh, yeah. Hi, honey.

Hi.

What did y'all break this time?

Nice to meet you, honey.

Dorinda, let's go see

somebody get in trouble.

You go ahead.

I'll be right there, OK?

If I knew you were coming, I'd have been

really rich and lived somewhere else.

What?

Now you know why I never invite

you guys over or talk about my family.

I'm really surprised at you, Dorinda.

Why'd you try to hide it?

You guys are all... I don't know.

I guess I just didn't think about it.

Wait till I tell Galleria.

I mean, the way you dance,

you had to have some flavour in you

somewhere. But she was all "No"...

We're not talking about

the same thing, Chanel.

So you're half Black.

You've seen Galleria's mom and dad.

And I'm a little bit

of every kind of Spanish pepper, girl.

Shoot, Miss America

has ten bloodlines.

No. No!

Yo, we're all mixed up in this jiggy jungle

together. Join the club, girlie.

Can you just wait for a second?

I'm not Black, and I'm not half Black.

I'm not even White.

I don't even know what I am.

I do know that Mrs Bosco isn't my mom.

She's the closest thing I've ever had.

My mom, my real mom,

she didn't want me.

And I'm a foster child,

and I live here with ten other kids.

The only reason why we even get to live

here is because Mr Bosco's the super.

But I want to stay here,

and I want to stay here with my friends,

and in school,

and with the Cheetah Girls,

because it's the best I've ever had,

Chanel. And please don't...

Don't take it from me.

Girl, you thought we'd pull your card

for lack of parents?

Girl, sometimes that

can be a good thing.

Trust me, it's not all

it's cracked up to be.

You should be grateful

that you have a mom.

Do, you're a Cheetah Girl because of

who you are, and what's in your heart.

And you're pure Cheetah Girl.

Look at us.

- You didn't come here to hear my secret.

- Nah.

So why are you here?

I felt really bad about

what happened with Galleria.

She gets all testy and touchy cos

she wants everything to be perfect.

I just wanted to make sure you were OK.

- Do, come and eat.

- I'll be there in a second.

I'm all right. I just...

I can't look the way she wants me to.

I don't have money to buy a new outfit.

Or you could wear this.

I saw it and I thought one of us

had to have it. Check it out.

Wow.

Growl power.

It's hot.

Just think of it as a loan

from the Juanita-Chanel collection.

Thanks, girl.

Look, there's something

I need to tell you.

- What's wrong? You OK?

- Yeah.

I'm great, actually. I mean...

I got an offer from the Gold Medal Crew.

They want me to dance for them.

- They wanna hire me, Chanel.

- Oh, my God. Get out, girl.

I know. But...

- What about the Cheetah Girls?

- I don't know.

Chanel, I really need that money.

I just... I don't know what to do.

- Come on, now, stay still.

- Hey. Ow.

Sorry. OK, wait. One more.

- OK. Sorry about that.

- Not so much arch, girl.

I don't want to look like "The Mary J Blige

concert tickets are sold out?"

I know, right? Wait, watch out.

Let me do this one.

From furry to fierce. Girl, they are

cheetahlicious. Aren't they, Toto?

Come in. Hey, Mom.

Galleria's Day Spa.

Now, listen, I do not want you all

to stay up all night gabbing.

- OK.

- And, uh...

I made a decision that you all

can go to this rehearsal alone.

Oh, Mom. Thank you so much.

I just want to see how

you handle yourselves.

- OK.

- I'm trusting you.

- Thanks, Madrina.

- You're welcome.

Toto? Get to bed,

and be an example for these girls.

Good night. Go to sleep.

- OK, OK, OK.

- All right. Love you.

- Love ya.

- Love you, too.

- Chanel, I wanted to show you something.

- What?

What do you think about this?

- Don't you think there's something wrong?

- What?

Why is there one person in the middle,

and why is that one person you?

OK, yeah. My picture is bigger

than everybody else's.

- But hey, I did write the songs.

- Hold up.

Those were my ideas too, and Aqua

freestyled a lot of the hooks you used.

Those were our songs.

Chanel, I take bits and pieces and put

them together, OK? I'm an artist.

And while you're being an artist

and taking your bows, what am I?

- Your sidekick? Your flunky?

- Hey, calm down, Chanel. OK?

Can we just stay focused

on the dream, please?

Bubbles, stop trying to

handle me, all right?

I wasn't born to be wiping your shoes,

to go along with your okey-doke, OK?

I'm not the only one feeling it.

Aqua and Do are feeling it, too.

What? The Cheetah Girls are opening

the box behind my back?

No. You just don't see it when

it's all up in your face, girl.

Look, Bubbles, you're not

that much fun to be around any more.

I know. OK? But I promise, girl.

Everybody will be so happy once we

get this deal tomorrow. Trust me.

Yo, Bubbles, I found out why

Do keeps her life on the DL.

She's a foster child. Her mom gave her

away when she was just a baby.

- What?

- Yeah.

This is no dream, all right?

This is the real deal for her.

I guess she needs this

more than anybody, huh?

No, Bubbles. What she needs is friends.

We all do.

Chuchie, friends help friends

make their dream come true, right?

- I guess.

- Then don't worry about it, girl. OK?

I'm sure Jackal will have some ideas

about the cover tomorrow. So don't trip.

Cheetah Girls.

I have some ideas, and so does

my marketing team. Give a listen.

Our research shows your demographic

responds to the animal theme

and your bouncy, up-tempo,

pop-urban sensibility.

Kids love endangered species.

Kids wanna party.

Kids want a band like Global Getdown.

The letter "G" is big this year.

Galleria stays a cheetah

now and forever.

Dorinda is a sweet panda.

Come on, take it.

Here we have a baby seal for...

Aqua, of course.

And Chanel is a snow leopard

from the frigid north.

- Brr. Ha ha.

- Masks?

Our engineering department

wants to create whole new identities.

So you guys want us to be, like,

something other than the Cheetah Girls?

Global Getdown

is a worldwide marketing miracle.

I'm seeing dolls, movie tie-ins

with every kind of burger, taco,

and anything you can eat

with chopsticks.

Well, how does it look?

- Oh, precious.

- Sweet.

Dorinda, take that thing off.

Jackal, um...

We can't sing in these things.

Well, you'll be miked inside.

And the music's on tape, anyway.

- Oh, I'm sorry. We don't lip sync.

- Don't worry.

We'll teach you. Now, let's talk music.

Ha, now you're talking.

Cheetahs, "Girl Power".

- Excuse me.

- Bump this.

Let's do this, girls.

Chuck those masks right there, please.

Throw your hands up

if you know that you're a star

You'd better stand up

if you know just who you are

Never give up. Never say die

Girl power. Girl power

Throw your hands up

if you know that you're a star

You better stand up

if you know just who you are

Never give up. Never come too far

Girl power. Girl power

I made mistakes before

But I know I'm not perfect

It's OK cos who could ever be?

As long as I give my best
