The Perf's are all waiting in the bathroom for Kacey to arrive.
Miranda: Where's Kacey? He wants a status report.
Molly: He'll have one.
The wall to the sushi bar opens and Kacey is standing there.
Kacey: Now girls, Molly, Grace and I are holding try-outs for the girls teams. You are all trying out right?
Michelle: Of course we are. We'll get in right?
Kacey: Duh. But you girls still have to try out so it doesn't look fixed.
Grace: But I thought it was fixed.
Kacey: We don't want everyone knowing that now do we?
Grace: Right. That would be like, totes bad.
Molly: Now, here's what you all are going to do...
Meanwhile:
Gravity 5 is practicing in their hangout.
Lulu: Okay guys, I think that's good for now.
Kevin: Are you girls trying out for any of the sports today?
Stevie: Definitely. I'm trying out for the basketball team.
Nelson: What about you Lulu?
Kevin elbows him.
Nelson: Ow.
Kevin: Dude, she can't, she's, you know what?
Nelson: Oh right, sorry.
Lulu: It's fine. Actually, I'm trying out for cheerleading. The doctor says I can do whatever I did before for my first 3 months. Besides, I've always been a cheerleader. I'm going to make it.
Zander: Whatever you say.
Lulu: Anyway, I should get to try outs. I have to change first.
Lulu walks out.
Zander: I feel bad for her. There's no way the Perf's will let her join.
Kevin: Do you think we should tell her?
The 4 bandmates look at each other.
Everyone: Nah.
At Cheerleading Tryouts:
The gymnasium is crowded with people hoping to make it in and most of them are hoping to become Perf's.
Kacey: Now, I just want to say, not all of you will make it onto this team, much less any. But we will be evaluating each of you with the help of Mrs. Torres. Our amazing principle. We will be going through exercises, if you make it to the end, you can join the squad.
Grace: I'll be showing you the exercise. It's really easy. All you have to do is put your hands on your hips, and smile really big. Like this.
Everyone trying out does the same thing.
Kacey and Mrs. Torres exchange words.
Kacey: Excuse, you 4 boys in the back are in.
The guys high-five and walk out.
Grace: Hold those smiles.
Molly and Kacey walk up and down the line. Molly walks up to a girl with red frizzy hair and a creepy smile.
Molly: Thank you for coming. You can go now.
The girl walks out. Kacey walks up to a short girl with a perm.
Kacey: That's all.
The girl walks out.
Grace: Okay, here's the next exercise. A cartwheel.
Grace does a cartwheel.
Everyone else tries too. Some girls are able to do it, but others aren't. 7 girls are eliminated.
Grace: Next is a handspring.
5 more girls are eliminated.
Grace: Back handspring.
6 more leave. Lulu still remains along with a few more girls and the Perf's.
Kacey: Finally, as we are the Screaming Banshees-
Girl: I thought we were the Screaming Vikings.
Mrs. Torres: It's been changed.
Kacey: You all have to do your loudest scream.
Kacey, Molly, Grace and Mrs. Torres put on earmuffs.
All the girls trying out do their best scream.
Kacey: Thank you everyone for coming in and the list of who made it will be posted tomorrow.
The Perf tryouts and the rest of the girls head to the door. Kacey grabs Lulu's arm before she leaves.
Kacey: You're messing with the system in this school just by practicing. You do realize that right?
Lulu: Of course.
Kacey: Are you sure you want to go up against me.
Lulu pulls her arm away.
Lulu: Absolutely.
Lulu walks out.
At Basketball practice:
Stevie and some other girls are warming up in the gymnasium.
Kacey, Molly, and Grace walk in with the Perf's that are trying out.
Kacey: Okay everyone, before we start I would like to say you're all brave to try out, and I'm sorry that not all of you will make it. Only those of you who are perfect at this sport will make it. Or just better than most. Now, we're going to start with-
At the end of the day:
Kacey, Molly, and Grace are stapling the lists of the new teams to the bulletin board.
Kacey: So, the talent show is in 2 days, we have to win.
Molly: We will Kacey, don't worry.
Grace: No one is going to beat us. We always win.
Kacey: I know. Now, the bell is about to ring, we should get out of here.
Grace: Why?
Molly: So we don't get stomped on by everyone looking.
Grace: Right.
The girls pick up their purses and walk out.
RIIIIIIIING:
Almost all the girls in school rush up to the bulletin board to see who made what. All the Perf's made at least 1 team if not more.
Lulu: I'm on squad!
Stevie: Congrats. Now, I just have to check. I made the basketball team.
Stevie and Lulu go in for a fist bump but stop.
Lulu/Stevie: Too soon, too soon.
Stevie: Now, we should go practice. 
Lulu: Right.
They head to band practice.
