Phoenix and Elliott join a Hangouts meeting.

Elliott says THANKS FOR MEETING
ME PHOENIX.
HOW'S THE
ROAD TRIP?

Phoenix says WE'RE IN THE
HOME STRETCH.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
BREAK'S ALMOST OVER.
ANY NEWS ABOUT WHO
SENT THE PIE TO AXEL?

Elliott says NO LEADS YET OTHER THAN THE
CHRYSANTHEMUM THING.

Phoenix says SEEMS LIKE AN OBVIOUS LADY
CHRYSANTHEMUM CLUE BUT UNLESS
THE PIE'S 150 YEARS OLD SHE
PROBABLY DIDN'T BAKE IT.

Elliott says MISTY'S AT A SILENT
RETREAT WITH MS. MARTEL
SO IT'S NOT HER
EITHER.

Phoenix says THE WHOLE PIE
THING IS SO WEIRD.
DO NOT DELETE.
WHAT DOES
THAT EVEN MEAN?

Elliott says IT IS WEIRD BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT
SOMETHING ELSE.
WANNA TAKE ON THE GRAND FINALE
FOR THIS WEEK'S EDITION OF THE
BULLETIN?

Phoenix says I'D LOVE TO.
GOT ANYTHING IN MIND?

Elliott says AS A MATTER
OF FACT I DO.
HOW ABOUT A PARKOUR
SKATEBOARD ROUTINE?

Phoenix says ABSOLUTELY.
I HAVE MY
SKATEBOARD WITH ME.
I'LL FIND SOMEWHERE
COOL TO STOP AND SHOOT
ON THE ROAD.

Elliott says GREAT.
YOU KNOW I ACTUALLY HAVE A
COUPLE OF FRIENDS AT
SKATE-O-MANIA.

Phoenix says SKATE-O-MANIA?
AS IN THE OLYMPICS OF
SKATEBOARDING?

Elliott says YEAH.
DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE
NATIONAL TOUR THIS FALL?

Phoenix says TOTALLY.
WAIT.
YOU THINK YOU COULD GET ME FREE
TICKETS TO A SHOW?

Elliott says SURE.
OR AN AUDITION.
I HEAR THEY'RE LOOKING
FOR JUNIOR SKATERS.
IF YOU WANT TO TRY
OUT I COULD GET IN TOUCH.

Max shows up and scares Elliott.

Elliott says WHOA.
MAX.
YOU SNUCK UP ON ME.

Max says HEY CUZ.
HEY PHOENIX.
WHAT ARE YOU
GUYS TALKING ABOUT?

Elliott says OH.
JUST THE NEXT
EDITION OF THE
BULLETIN.
PHOENIX, CATCH
YOU LATER.

Phoenix says SEE YA.

Max says SO SKATE-O-MANIA?
NATIONAL TOUR?

Elliott says I'VE SEEN YOU SKATEBOARD.
I DON'T THINK THEY'D
BE INTERESTED.

Rosa says IT'S ALMOST BACK TO SCHOOL TIME
AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO
COME TO BIG TOP ACADEMY, YOU'RE
PROBABLY THINKING OF AUDITIONS.
SO, I'M HERE TO HELP WITH MY
AUDITION TIPS.

The Big Top Academy Bulletin logo appears.

A caption reads "Rosa's audition tips."

R TIP NUMBER 1.
BE CONFIDENT.
GOOD POSTURE SHOWS THAT YOU ARE
STRONG AND PREPARED.
PRETEND YOU HAVE A BALLOON.
AN INVISIBLE BALLOON ON A STRING
ATTACHED TO THE TOP OF YOUR
HEAD.
STRAIGHTENING YOUR SPINE AND
MAKING YOU FEEL LIGHT AS AIR.
YOU CAN DO IT.
DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE.
A FEW DEEP BREATHS AND IT'LL
CALM THE JITTERS..
TIP 2.
SMILE.
ATTITUDE GOES A LONG WAY AND
CIRCUS SCHOOL ISN'T A SOLO ACT
SO SHOW THE JUDGES YOU'D BE A
FUN AND FRIENDLY PART OF THE
TEAM.
AND TIP NUMBER 3.
USE YOUR STRENGTH.
BIG TOP ACADEMY WANTS THE BEST
OF THE BEST SO DON'T BE SHY AND
SHOW OFF WHAT YOU LOVE THE MOST.
FOR ME IT'S THE AERIAL HOOP.

She gets on the aerial hoop and does some tricks.

R HOPE TO SEE YOU AT BTA SOON.
GOOD LUCK.

Now April says HEY GUYS.
TODAY I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW
YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN SPARKLY
CIRCUS MAKE-UP LOOK.
CONSIDER ME YOUR OWN GLAM SQUAD.
WELL, CAN YOU REALLY BE YOUR OWN
SQUAD WHEN YOU'RE SOLO?
AH.
A SOLO SQUAD.
I LIKE THAT.

The Big Top Academy Bulletin logo appears.

A caption reads "April's glam solo."

April puts some make up on and says I LOVE WHEN WE'RE ALL TOGETHER
AT BIG TOP ACADEMY.
WHEN WE'RE GETTING READY FOR OUR
SHOWS TOGETHER AS A TEAM.
WHEN WE'RE HELPING EACH OTHER
OUT WITH COSTUMES OR MAKE-UP
BUT, LIKE NOW, YOU GOTTA LEARN
TO DO STUFF ON YOUR OWN.
SO WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR IS I
HAVE PUT ON FOUNDATION.
I PUT SOME CONCEALER ON TO
BRIGHTEN UP MY FACE AND THEN
NEXT I'M STARTING TO PUT SOME
CONTOUR ON, OR LIKE A BRONZER,
BUT INSTEAD WE USE PINK
EYE-SHADOW BECAUSE WE LOVE PINK.
I AM A PERFECTIONIST.
I LOVE EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT.
I'M USING THIS DARKER GREEN
SHADE FOR THE INNER CORNER OF MY
EYE.

She traces her under eye with pink liner and highlights her inner corners with frosty vanilla eyeshadow.

She says SOMETHING THAT I HAVE LEARNED
OVER THE BREAK IS THAT ONCE
YOU'RE PART OF A TEAM YOU'RE
NEVER GONNA BE ALONE.
THEY WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.
JUST LIKE I WON'T LET YOU DOWN.
SO JUST FOLLOW THESE STEPS AND
YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK FABULOUS.

She uses black eyeliner to draw her upper lid line.

She says I USUALLY DO MY EYELINER A
LITTLE BIT THICKER FOR
PERFORMANCES BECAUSE IT JUST
MAKES YOUR EYES LOOK SO MUCH
BIGGER.

She curls her eyelashes and says I HAVE VERY LONG EYELASHES.
I USE A LIP PENCIL AND THEN JUST
KIND OF DRAW THE SHAPE OF MY
LIPS.
NEXT WE'RE GONNA USE THIS VERY
VERY PINK LIPSTICK.
WE'RE GONNA ADD LITTLE SPARKLES
ALL OVER OUR FACE.
ALWAYS USE MAKE-UP GLUE.
DO NOT USE CRAFT GLUE BECAUSE
THAT WILL HURT WHEN YOU TRY AND
TAKE THAT OFF.
STICK IT RIGHT THERE.
A FUN LITTLE STAR ON MY
FOREHEAD.
I'M GONNA PUT A LITTLE ONE KINDA
LIKE IT'S A LITTLE SHOOTING STAR
AND FINALLY NOW THAT OUR
LIPSTICK IS COMPLETELY DRY WE
CAN PUT OUR FINAL TOUCH WHICH IS
THE VERY FUN SPARKLY LIP GLOSS
AND VOILA.
I HOPE YOU HAD SO MUCH FUN
CREATING THIS AWESOME MAKE-UP
LOOK WITH ME.
WOW.
YOU LOOK FIERCE.

The caption changes to "Big Top Academy Bulletin presents: Phoenix."

Phoenix says HEY GUYS.
I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING NEAR
AND DEAR TO MY HEART FOR THIS
EDITION.
SKATEBOARDING.
I'VE BEEN PRACTICING A LOT ON
THE ROAD.
EVERY TIME WE HAVE A PIT STOP I
GET ON MY BOARD AND RIDE.
SO, LET'S ROLL.
ALL CLEAR.
NO TRAFFIC.
SAFETY IS ALWAYS NUMBER ONE.

She skates with obstacles and juggles while skating.

She says WHEW.
I WANTED TO SKATE FOR YOU
BECAUSE I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT
THIS PART OF MY LIFE AND I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO
HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT PASSIONS.
NOBODY'S LIFE HAS TO BE ABOUT
ONE THING ALL THE TIME.
BIG TOP ACADEMY ENCOURAGES US TO
PURSUE ALL OF OUR DREAMS.
I DON'T HAVE TO STOP SKATING
JUST BECAUSE I'M AT CIRCUS.
I CAN DO IT ALL.
SO, EVEN THOUGH SKATE-O-MANIA
SOUNDS AWESOME, IT CAN WAIT
BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE
EXCEPT BACK TO CIRCUS SCHOOL.
SEE YA THERE.

The caption changes to "Wat bugs me right now."

Max says HELLO.
I'M MAX RAYNE AND WELCOME TO A
VERY SPECIAL LIVE EDITION OF
WHAT BUGS ME RIGHT NOW IS
SABOTAGE.
NOW, WE'RE NO STRANGERS TO
SABOTAGE HERE AT BIG TOP
ACADEMY.
SOMETHING I'M SURE OUR ESTEEMED
EDITOR ISN'T TOO HAPPY TO HEAR
ME POINT OUT.
ESPECIALLY SINCE HE'S TRYING TO
CLEAN UP OUR IMAGE.
BUT IT'S ONE THING WHEN THE
SABOTEUR IS MISTY MARTEL.
A CONFIRMED CIRCUS HATER TRYING
TO AVENGE HER GREAT GREAT GREAT
GRANDMOTHER.
BUT IT'S ANOTHER WHEN THE
SABOTAGE IS COMING FROM INSIDE
THE BULLETIN FROM SOMEONE WHO IS
SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING US.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Max says QUIET ON THE SET.

Elliott says YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO ME?
SAY IT TO MY FACE.
TURN THAT OFF.

Max stops the camera and says FINE.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT EVER SINCE
YOU GOT HERE THINGS HAVE BEEN
FALLING APART.

Elliott says I'M TRYING TO HELP.

Max says REALLY?
THEN WHY ARE YOU ASKING APRIL TO
TRYOUT FOR JACQUES LAROQUE'S
SHOW?
SENDING NICK'S SONG TO MC
MOLLUSC?
TRYING TO GET PHOENIX TO
AUDITION FOR SKATE-O-MANIA?

Elliott says WHAT'S WRONG WITH TRYING
TO HELP YOUR FRIENDS
ACHIEVE THEIR
DREAMS?

Max says BIG TOP ACADEMY
IS THEIR DREAM.

Elliott says YOU SURE
ABOUT THAT?
AS SOON AS MC MOLLUSC CALLED
NICK LEFT IN A HURRY.
I DIDN'T EXACTLY HAVE
TO TWIST HIS ARM.
WAIT.
ARE YOU STILL
LIVE STREAMING?
MAX!
(COMPUTER NOISES)

Now the BTA kids join a meeting.

Max says I NEED TO TALK
TO EVERYBODY.

Ella says HANG ON.
DID YOU GUYS
SEE ELLIOTT'S TEXT?
SO COOL.

Max says IT CAN'T BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN
THIS.
DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT ELLIOTT
SAID?
HE'S BEEN TRYING TO MESS WITH US
THE WHOLE TIME.

April says OH.
IS THAT WHY HE'S PLANNING A HUGE
SHOWCASE?

Max says WHAT?

Rosa says DIDN'T YOU GET THE MESSAGE?

Axel says ELLIOTT SAID THAT SINCE THE
BREAK'S ALMOST OVER WHAT BETTER
WAY TO CELEBRATE THAN WITH THE
BIGGEST BEST SHOWCASE BTA'S EVER
SEEN.

Phoenix says WE CAN CELEBRATE THE FACT THAT
WE FINALLY GET TO SEE EACH OTHER
AGAIN.
FOR REAL.
EXCEPT NICK BUT MAYBE WE COULD
GET HIM TO SEND US A VIDEO FROM
THE TOUR.

Max says YOU GUYS ARE REALLY FALLING FOR
THIS?
HE SPENT THIS WHOLE TIME
TRYING TO TEAR US APART.

April says BY GIVING US ALL AMAZING
OPPORTUNITIES?
WHAT A MONSTER.

Ella says YEAH.
CHEER UP MAX.
THE SHOWCASE IS
GONNA BE GREAT.
RIGHT EVERYBODY?

Max says WHATEVER.
IF YOU GUYS DON'T BELIEVE ME
I'LL GO FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL.

They all log off except for Celeste.

A message bubble pops up that reads "I need to talk to you. Press the button."

The "Enter secret room" button appears on the screen and Celeste touches it. she gets teleported and meets Elliott.

Celeste says YOU WANTED
TO MEET ME?

Elliott says I HAVE TO TELL
YOU SOMETHING.
I SORT OF, KINDA HACKED
INTO THE DIGITAL SECRET
BOOK OF CIRCUS SECRETS.

Celeste says YOU WHAT?

Elliott says I'M SORRY BUT MS. MARTEL WANTS
ME TO EDIT SOME OF THE MORE
PROBLEMATIC HISTORY OF BTA.

Celeste says BY EDIT YOU
MEAN DELETE.
GET RID OF FOREVER.
RIGHT?

Elliott says WELL, YES, BUT
THAT'S NOT THE
WORST PART.
I WAS EDITING THE LADY
CHRYSANTHEMUM FILE WHEN MY
COMPUTER GOT
HIT BY LIGHTNING.
IT'S FRIED.

Celeste says SO YOU CAN'T ACCESS
THE DATABASE
ANYMORE.
GOOD.
MAYBE I CAN RESTORE
EVERYTHING YOU DID.

Elliott says I THINK IT'S A BIGGER PROBLEM
THAN THAT.
THE THING WITH THE PIE.

Celeste says WHAT?
YOU THINK LADY CHRYSANTHEMUM'S
GHOST POWERED UP AFTER THE
LIGHTENING STRIKE AND SENT A PIE
TO A STUDENT AT BTA TO GET HER
MESSAGE OUT?
STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED.

Elliott says THEY HAVE?

Celeste says THE FILE IS CORRUPTED.
I CAN'T OPEN
IT EITHER.

A message pops up that reads "Do not delete."

Elliott says DO YOU SEE THAT?
LADY CHRYSANTHEMUM'S GHOST IS
OUT FOR REVENGE.

Celeste says COME ON.
GHOSTS AREN'T REAL.

The theme song plays as the end credits roll.
