NICOLE okay, what is going on here? DIANE well… i was in this double dutch group, but they were mean to me and kicked me out. so, craig challenged them to a jump-off. at first, i was skeptical, but now with our training, i know we’ll destroy them! CRAIG yeah! destroy! NICOLE listen, y’all, there is nothing worth gaining from getting revenge on somebody. ya’ll gotta jump for joy! NICOLE yes? CANNONBALL can we jump out of spite? NICOLE no! CANNONBALL maaaan, that’s how i do it. NICOLE look y’all, when i was a kid, i was obsessed with being the best at double dutch. and i was the best… until carla frazier came jumping into town… YOUNG CARLA wow! man, those moves are sick! one day, i hope i can double dutch just like you! NICOLE i didn’t think anything of it… until she showed up at regionals… and won! YOUNG CARLA aw man, i couldn’t have done this without you, nicole! like, out of anybody, you my inspiration for real! YOUNG NICOLE watch your back, punk! YOUNG CARLA i was gonna ask if you wanted to get some pizza but you actin’ so shady! dang, i didn’t even do nothin’… NICOLE she took the trophy and worse – she took who i was. NICOLE i vowed revenge, and i wasn’t going to stop practicing for nothing. it was all about being the best, instead of being my best. NICOLE anyway! games are about having fun! especially when you’ve got good teammates like each other by your side. NICOLE soooo… what are we gonna do? SPARKLE CADET have fun!!! NICOLE and what are we not gonna do? SPARKLE CADET petty revenge!!! CANNONBALL crimes! NICOLE now that’s what i like to hear! so what time is this jump off thing happening? ’cause i was thinking maybe i could come down to the creek and— CRAIG nah, bruh. you can’t come to the creek. NICOLE “bruh?!” CRAIG uh… i-i’m sorry, mom. just… just got ahead of myself, i’m sorry… BRITTANI wow, i can’t believe y’all actually showed up. and you got your own little jump ropes! how cute! SPARKLE CADET aww, thanks! heh! DIANE uh, that was sarcasm, sparks. SPARKLE CADET i take that back, brittani! you’re going down! but you will get back up again because that shows determination and that’s a great quality to have! BRITTANI if you don’t get your girl before she hurts herself… CRAIG just get to the rules, brittani! BRITTANI the rules are simple: the first one to mess up, loses! BRITTANI so let’s see these so-called “skills.” CRAIG you first! BRITTANI okay. let’s get it, girls. CRAIG wait! ugggghhhh! CANNONBALL they’re machines! SPARKLE CADET just completely focused!

WHITNEY your guys’ routine was so rope-tastic. JUNE yeah, your moves were so creative and wonderfully executed. BRITTANI wonderfully executed?! they brought a bike!!! diane, you’re never gonna be the best jumping like that! DIANE i know that, brittani. but for me, jumping is about jumping for joy! you, you just jump so you can look down on people. you are the best. no one can double dutch like you. so stop expecting them to and just have fun! BRITTANI you’re right. no one is as good as me… and that’s okay. i shouldn’t have asked that from you, diane. i’m sorry. CANNONBALL seems like a real backhanded apology. CRAIG shh, this is the best we’re gonna get! BRITTANI maybe you can come back to the group and teach us some of the moves you learned. whenever you want, of course. DIANE i’d like that. BRITTANI haha, you have to tell me where you learned those moves! NICOLE i’m glad the kids chose having fun over being the best. CARLA hold up! nicole?! NICOLE oh! carla! funny running into you here! CARLA in my garage?! girl, what you doing with my trophy? NICOLE NICOLE duane, start the car!!
