Phoenix says HI.

TIME AND ARE ALWAYS WATCHED BY A
PRO COACH SO PLEASE DON'T TRY
ANY OF THE MOVES YOU SEE US DO.
NOW ENJOY THE SHOW.

(COMPUTER NOISES)

Ella and Celeste join the Hangout meeting.

Ella says CELESTE.
I MISSED YOU.

Celeste says ELLA.
HOW'S MOM AND DAD?

Ella says GREAT.
THEY OUT DID THEMSELVES
IN THEIR PICCOLO POI
SPIN LAST NIGHT.
BUT COUSIN POLLY HAS
BEEN GETTING ON MY NERVES.
SHE NEVER DOES CHORES
AND SHE EATS ALL THE APPLES.
SHE KNOWS I LIKE
THOSE THE MOST.

Celeste says SOUNDS AWFUL.
SO WHERE'S
EVERYONE ELSE?
IT'S MY TURN TO BE
GUEST EDITOR.

Ella says I MAY HAVE ASKED
EVERYONE TO BE LATE
SO WE COULD CATCH UP.

Then everyone else join the meeting.

Phoenix says PERFECT.
YOU'RE ALL HERE.
GOTTA REPRESENT FOR OUR GIRLS
ROCKING THE CIRCUS MEMBER.

Phoenix, Rosa, and April say 1.
2.
3.
GRC.

Celeste says REPRESENT
I WILL.
I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN AT CAMP
COEFFICIENT.
SO I'VE DECIDED THE SCIENTIFIC
METHOD WILL MAKE THIS EDITION
THE BEST YET.

Max says OOH.
THE SCIENTIFIC
METHOD.
THAT NEVER
FAILS.

Celeste says MAX.
OPINIONS ARE LIKE NOSES.
EVERYONE HAS ONE BUT WITHOUT
DATA THEY'RE JUST WRONG.
WE HAVE TO STICK TO THE FORMULA
100 PERCENT TO BE 100 PERCENT
SUCCESSFUL.
SO I'LL PRESCRIBE WHAT EACH OF
YOU DO.

Rosa says I WAS THINKING ABOUT
ANOTHER COOKING CORNER.

Celeste says WELL ACTUALLY I WAS THINKING
SILKS.
MY FOCUS GROUP SAYS AERIALS ARE
THE MOST POPULAR THING.

Rosa says PEOPLE LIKE MY COOKING CORNER.

Celeste says SORRY.
SILKS IT IS.
NEXT.
AXEL, I WANT YOU TO DO SOMETHING
ON YOUR POGO STICK.

Axel says OH.
BUT WHAT ABOUT CLOWNING?

Celeste says THE FORMULA LOVES AERIALS.
APRIL...

April says I'M DOING SOMETHING WITH MY
HORSE SCARLETT AND THAT'S FINAL.

Celeste says ACTUALLY, ANIMALS TEST VERY
WELL.
APPROVED.
I'LL ROUND IT OUT WITH A COOL
SCIENCE EXPERIMENT AND BOOM.
BEST ISSUE EVER.
THANKS SCIENCE.

Nick says UM.
I WAS CHALLENGED BY AXEL LAST
EDITION TO DO A SHOWSTOPPER
SO...

Celeste says YOU'LL HAVE TO DO IT NEXT TIME.
THAT'S NOT WHAT SCIENCE IS
ABOUT.
EXCITED TO SEE YOUR SEGMENTS
GUYS.

Max says AT LEAST ONE OF
US IS EXCITED.

Axel says CELESTE, YOU PROMISED
WHEN YOU WERE EDITOR
I COULD DO A CLOWN
ROUTINE.

Celeste says I KNOW BUT CLOWNING DOESN'T FIT
THE FORMULA.

Axel says SO WHAT?
WE'RE FRIENDS.
DOESN'T THAT FACTOR INTO YOUR
FORMULA.

Celeste says AXEL.
WE ARE FRIENDS AND I NEED MY
FRIEND TO DO WHAT I NEED FOR
THIS EDITION.
PLEASE?

Axel shrugs.

The instrumental theme song plays as the opening credits roll.

The BTA kids appear doing all kinds of acrobatic and at-home activities.

Nicholas is in his mid-teens, with short curly brown hair.

Max is in his mid-teens, with short light brown hair.

April is in her mid-teens, with long straight blond hair.

Phoenix is in her mid-teens, with long straight brown hair.

Rosa is in her mid-teens, with long straight brown hair.

Ella is in her early teens, with long straight black hair.

Celeste is in her mid-teens, with long wavy brown hair.

Axel is in his mid-teens, with short blond hair.

The name of the show appears on an illustration of a circus top. It reads "Big Top Academy. School's Out Edition."

A caption reads "Produced in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil Images."

The Big Top Academy Bulletin logo appears.

A caption reads "Not Rosa's cooking corner today."

Rosa sits in the silks and says EVEN THOUGH I WAS GONNA BAKE YOU
SOME BUTTER TARTS YOU'LL HAVE TO
SETTLE FOR THIS.

As she does tricks on the silks, she says DID YOU KNOW BUTTER TARTS ARE A
DELICIOUS CANADIAN TRADITION?
SOME PEOPLE LIKE THEM WITH
RAISINS BUT I LIKE TO BAKE MINE
WITH CRUSHED PECANS TO GIVE THEM
JUST A LITTLE EXTRA CRUNCH.
THE SILKS ARE A HUGE PASSION OF
MINE WHILE WE'RE AT SCHOOL AND I
LOVE THEM VERY MUCH.
BUT BUTTER TARTS ARE PRETTY
DELICIOUS.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
NOW I HAVE SOME BAKING TO DO.
(COMPUTER NOISES)

Axel and Celeste get connected.

Axel says WHAT'S UP?

Celeste says THAT VIDEO
YOU SENT IN.
I CAN'T PUT IT
IN THE BULLETIN.
YOU HAVE TO
MAKE A NEW ONE.

Axel says WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I DID EVERYTHING YOU WANTED.
AERIALS.
POGO STICK.

Celeste says YEAH BUT YOU WERE
WEARING A CLOWN WIG.

He puts on a wacky clown wig and says YOU MEAN THIS
CLOWN WIG?
IT'S MY
LUMPO WIG.

Celeste says AXEL, THIS IS NO
TIME FOR JOKES.

Axel says CLEARLY.
I CAN'T EVEN WEAR WHAT I WANT
NOW?

Celeste says IT'S NOT THAT.
IT'S MY FOCUS GROUP.

Axel says WHAT?
WHO'S THIS FOCUS GROUP?

Celeste says MY FRIENDS HERE AT SCIENCE CAMP.
THEY'RE SCARED OF CLOWNS.

Axel says SERIOUSLY?
THE BIG TOP BULLETIN ISN'T FOR
KIDS AT SCIENCE CAMP.
IT'S FOR BTA.
IT'S SUPPOSED
TO BE FUN.

Celeste says AXEL, SCIENCE
ISN'T ABOUT FUN.
THE FORMULA SAYS THAT...

Axel says SINCE WHEN DOES CIRCUS
FOLLOW A FORMULA?
CIRCUS IS ABOUT
EXPRESSING YOURSELF.
SHOWING YOUR
TALENTS.
DOING WHAT
YOU LOVE.

Celeste says I KNOW BUT I NEED TO PROVE
MYSELF.

Axel says TO WHO?

Celeste says MS. MARTEL.
I'VE WANTED TO BE THE EDITOR OF
THE BULLETIN SINCE I GOT TO BTA.
SO I DID
THE WORK.
GOT SOME EXPERIENCE AND I
THOUGHT WHEN THEY FINALLY NEEDED
A NEW EDITOR...

Axel says MS. MARTEL WOULD
GIVE YOU THE JOB.

Celeste says THAT'S WHY I NEED TO DELIVER THE
BEST BULLETIN EDITION EVER.

Axel says EVEN IF IT MEANS HURTING YOUR
BEST FRIEND?

Celeste says AXEL...

Celeste says WHATEVER.
I HOPE IT'S WORTH IT.

He logs off.

Now a caption reads "April's secrets with Scarlett."

At the stables, April says OH.
HI.
SCARLETT AND I WERE JUST
CATCHING UP.
YOU SEE?
WHENEVER I'M SAD, EXCITED, OR
NERVOUS, I COME AND SEE
SCARLETT.
I USED TO BE SO SCARED TO EVEN
GET THIS CLOSE TO HER BUT NOW WE
SHARE EVERYTHING WITH EACH
OTHER.
DON'T WE GIRL.
THIS LOVELY LADY KNOWS ALL OF MY
SECRETS.
AND THE BEST PART IS SHE'S A
HORSE.
SHE DOESN'T TELL A SOUL.
UNLIKE BETHANY DE LA FRESSANGE
WHO BLABBED TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL
THAT I CAN'T RIDE A BIKE.

She brushes Scarlett and says BUT THAT'S WHAT GOOD FRIENDS DO.
THEY LAUGH WITH YOU WHEN YOU'RE
HAPPY.
CRY WITH YOU WHEN YOU'RE SAD.
AND OF COURSE, KEEP YOUR SECRETS
SECRET.
BECAUSE, A GOOD FRIEND YOU CAN
TRUST, THE BEST THING IN THE
ENTIRE WORLD.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

April puts a flower on top of her head and gives her a kiss.

Now at the lab, Celeste says WELCOME TO SCIENCING WITH
CELESTE.
THANKS FOR THAT APRIL.
I KIND OF THOUGHT YOU'D RIDE THE
HORSE BUT THE FOCUS GROUP STILL
LOVED IT.
ANIMALS FOR THE WIN.
YOU KNOW I WAS GONNA CLOSE THIS
EDITION BY RE-SEQUENCING THE DNA
OF A DUNG BEETLE, WHICH TESTED
THROUGH THE ROOF BY THE WAY BUT
I REALIZED MY METRICS MIGHT BE A
LITTLE OFF.
SOMEONE SMART REMINDED ME TODAY
THAT CIRCUS IS ABOUT DOING WHAT
YOU LOVE AND AS MUCH AS I LOVE
DUNG BEETLES MY HEART BELONGS TO
THE CIRCUS.
LIKE APRIL SAID, A GOOD FRIEND
IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
AND I SURE HOPE MY PAL LUMPO THE
CLOWN WANTS TO HELP ME.

She takes her goggles and lab coat off, grabs her balancing sticks and throws one to Axel.

In a clown voice, Axel says I'M CELESTE.
I'M AXEL.
THE FORMULA SAYS NO.
THE FORMULA SAYS YES.
NO.
YES.
NOOOOO.

He tosses the stick back to Celeste and she starts doing her balancing trick.

CIRCUS MUSIC

They throw the stick back and forth.

Celeste says LOVE IT LUMPO.

At the meeting, everyone claps.

Phoenix says LUMPO, YOU WERE HILARIOUS.

Axel says THANKS FOR LETTING ME CLOWN
AROUND CELESTE.

Celeste says NO.
THANKS TO YOU GUYS FOR STICKING
WITH ME AND ROSA THOSE BUTTER
TARTS SOUND AMAZING.

Rosa says THEY ARE.
I'LL SEND YOU THE RECIPE.

Celeste says PLEASE DO.
THANKS AGAIN GUYS.

Everyone leaves the meeting but Axel and Celeste.

Celeste says HEY.
ARE WE GOOD?
STILL CELESTE AND AXEL?
CELAX?

Axel says ALWAYS.

They virtually fist bump.

In computer writing, a caption reads "Enter secret room."

Nick touches the button on the screen and gets transported again.

The unseen voice says WELCOME BACK NICK.
I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

Blue juggling scarfs fall on him.

Nick says WHY IS THIS ONE DIFFERENT?

The voice says WHY INDEED?

He starts juggling and then one of the scarfs disappears.

Nick says SERIOUSLY?
WHERE DID IT GO?

The scar falls on Ella as he reads in her room. This time the scarf turns yellow.

She says OOH, COOL.
FREE ACCESSORIES.

She notices a green holographic X on the scarf.

The theme song plays as the end credits roll.
