Electric Bloom (2025) s01e08 Episode Script

1
The one, the one
the one, for me ♪
Hey, Bloomies!
We're still
getting ready backstage for a photoshoot.
Ooh, let's do
a fun outfit reveal on three.
One, two, three!
-Fun.
-Fun.
-Fun.
-[all] Fun!
That was fun! [chuckles]
We're about to get
called to set,
but we could squeeze in
one more Ask Us Anything before we go.
Yeah, we can.
All right. Ooh.
Miami Mimi wrote,
"My first high school dance
is coming up,
and I'm excited,
but also nervous.
What should I feel?"
Oh, um, we're not usually in the business
of telling people how to feel,
but we can tell you the story
of our first dance,
and you can decide
how you feel afterwards.
Wow, Posey, that was
a very mature answer.
[in British accent]
I'm a mature person, thanks, love.
You know the accent
doesn't make you mature, right?
Oh, does it not?
Back to the question.
So the theme of our first
high school dance was Under the Stars,
and the week before it
was nuts.
[in normal voice]
The whole school knew you didn't wanna
ask someone to the dance
too early and seem desperate.
Or wait too long
and get left without a date.
You had to time it just right.
[Posey] So everyone waited till the Monday
before the dance to find a date.
Wow. I'm loving all these
creative dance-posals.
Flowers, balloons, begging.
Hang in there, Troy.
You'll find your anyone someday.
What about you guys?
Have either of you been asked yet?
I haven't.
Should I be freaking out?
I'm not, but say the word, and I can
totally muster complete meltdown.
No one's asked me,
but I'm not stressing. Whatever.
Attention, eligible suitors.
It's officially "Ask someone
to the dance" week.
This is not
a whatever situation.
We're on high demand.
So make sure
your applications are detailed,
your flowers are fresh,
and for the last time,
no magic.
I'm talking to you, Joey.
Okay. Watching that
was stressful.
I know. Where did
those flowers go?
I have a crazy idea.
Why don't we just not worry
about getting asked to the dance,
and all go together?
Go to the dance together
as best friends,
and have the greatest
night of our life?
Let me think about it. Yes.
Yeah. I wish I could,
but I'm actually already going with two
gorgeous, talented and inspiring ladies.
Who? I will end them.
I'm talking about you two,
ding dongs.
Well, now what am
I supposed to do with all this rage?
Bottle it up,
'cause we're going together.
The Under the Stars dance is going to be
the most magical night of our lives.
Although, it does seem
kinda fun to get asked.
[Jade and Tulip] Yeah.
Hey, ladies.
[Posey] Will you
be my dates to the
The what? The movies?
The supermarket? The cemetery?
The dance! Oh, thank goodness.
I hate supermarkets.
I think what Tulip means,
is yes.
[all giggling]
Jade? We got your text.
Will you go
to the dance with me?
[both scream] Yes!
Why would you
ask us like that?
Fear brings out honesty.
Had to know if this love was real.
Will you go
to the dance with
Sorry. I thought Jade
and Posey were gonna be there.
We're down here.
Oh. Come to me,
I'll do it again.
Got any tape? Anyone?
Tape?

Hi, Sunny, I'll have
an apricot blossom tea
with a squirt of honey,
a splash of lemon,
a dash of cinnamon
and a pinch of nutmeg.
-Can you read that back to me?
-No.
I trust you.
-Name?
-Posey. I'm here every day.
Huh, there was just some guy here
talking about how he was gonna ask
some girl named Posey
to the dance.
Lucas or something?
-Milk?
-What?
Do you want milk?
Lucas said that?
Why would Lucas say,
"Do you want milk?"
I'm just gonna give you milk.
Lucas Jasper said those words
with his own mouth?
I don't know.
He was talking to the guy.
-Who?
-You know, the, "the" guy?
-The Vince?
-[scoffs]
Now you're just
making stuff up.
Posey, will you go
to the dance with me?
Friend thoughts
or honest thoughts?
Honest thoughts.
Ooh. That bad?
Communication is lost
on our generation.
Girls don't wanna be asked out
by a computer,
they wanna be asked out face to face.
I got a face.
Then, you're half way there.
Now you just need a cute situation
where you can ask her out.
Like in a rom-com.
Right, Sunny?
Please don't
make me part of this.
O-M-G!
Lucas is gonna ask me
to the dance.
But I can't go with him. I just made
a plan to go with my best friends.
-Sunny, what do I do?
-I don't know.
It's your business
who you go with or who you like--
Like?
[chuckling]
I don't like Lucas.
We're just friends,
stop being ridiculous!
Wait
do I like him?
-Uh--
-I know!
He is thoughtful, and sweet,
and makes me laugh.
Okay, I guess
I kinda like him. [gasps]
Sunny, how are you
pulling this out of me?
What's my next move?
-I-- Um--
-You're right!
But what do I do
about Jade and Tulip?
We have a pact
that no crush will come between us.
Good for you. Drink for Posey.
Okay, this is just milk.
[upbeat music playing]
Oh, yeah! That dance floor
better watch out
'cause Jade and Tulip are comin' in hot!
That's right, dance floor!
Hope you got a cold compress!
Uh-oh! I see you! I see you!
This is so much fun!
There's no way anyone else
is getting as pumped for this as we are.
Go, bro! Go, bro!
Here I go! Here I go!
[both] We're fun! ♪
Go, bro. Go, bro.
Here I go. Here I go.
-Dope.
-Word.
Yeah, no way.
This is our thing.
Oh, no. Slow song! Slow song!
You don't like slow songs?
No, I do.
Just the thought of dancing
to one makes me nervous.
Like with another person.
I've never slow danced
with anyone before.
It's no big deal.
It's just dancing, but slow.
Yeah, but you have
to get so close.
It's like you're eating
their breath!
I get it.
I was nervous the first time
I slow danced with someone too.
I didn't want to step on their foot
and break their toes.
I didn't even
think about the toes!
Okay. Well, I can help you.
Just sway with me.
You may have to eat some of my breath.
But it's cool. [exhales]
I just had a mint.
Fun! You guys
are dancing together.
Because we're going to the dance together!
That hasn't changed, right?
-No. Why would it?
-Right? Why would it?
Why would it? Why would it?
So make great questions.
Tulip, should we
look at dresses?
Okay. I was thinking, we could all wear
dresses in the same color scheme.
[in sing-song voice]
We'll match, and we'll look good.
[in sing-song voice]
Yeah, we will.
[in normal voice]
Sounded cooler when you did it.
Ha! Great joke, Tulip!
-I didn't make a joke--
-Speaking of jokes [chuckles]
Wouldn't it be hilarious
if even though we already
decided to go together,
a boy asked us
to go to the dance?
Wouldn't that be just
the funniest thing you've ever heard?
I've heard funnier.
Well, actually, confession.
After we all agreed
to go together,
I did get asked
to the dance. By Travis.
I got asked too. By Jordan.
-Interesting. And you both said, yes--
-[both] No.
No. Of course you said no.
There's no way you would say yes.
Oh, but speaking
of people saying yes,
guess who's taking
Paula to the dance?
-Luke is!
-Lucas? Lucas Jasper?
No. Luke is.
Luke Garcia. Wait, nobody's
talking about Lucas Jasper.
[chuckles] I know. Nobody's
thinking about him either.
[cell phone chiming]
[Lucas reading]
-Who you texting, girl?
-[screams]
It was the lunch lady. We're
having meatloaf tomorrow.
Seriously?
Aww, Debbie didn't text me.
[Posey] So, the next day
at school, I had a plan.
If Lucas couldn't find me,
he couldn't ask me to the dance,
and I could avoid
the issue altogether.
Don't mind me
I'll just be here for 20 to 30 seconds,
no follow-up questions.
It's cool.
We're just slow dancing
when we should
be in class, no follow-up questions.
I'm getting more comfortable
with my moves,
but I'm still working on the eye contact.
Like how do you know
when it's too much?
It's too much.
Great. Good chat.
Just gonna
borrow this. [chuckles]
I can't see anything.
Great game last night.
You were a brick wall on that net.
Go hockey!
I managed to make it through
the whole day without Lucas asking me out.
I just had one more
class with him before I could escape.
-[bell ringing]
-Yes!
[boy imitates beeps
over intercom] Mandatory earthquake drill.
-[sighs]
-Everyone under a desk.
-Hey, Posey.
-Oh, no. I mean, oh
-Hey, Lucas.
-[chuckles]
Hey. I'm so glad
we got stuck under this table together.
Yeah, no, this
is the best table.
I mean, what is it?
Maple? Oak?
Elm? Birch?
Pine tree.
-Posey?
-Yeah?
I've actually been
looking for you all day.
You have? That's crazy.
'Cause I've been right here.
I mean, not like,
here, here. More like,
here on Earth.
-You okay?
-Uh, yeah.
[boy] The earthquake drill
will be over in one minute,
so if you've got anything
to ask anyone, now would be a great time.
Also, here's some smooth jazz
to set the mood.
[smooth jazz playing]
Posey, there's something
I really wanna ask you.
[Posey] Mm-hmm.
Will you go
to the dance with me?
Stop, drop and roll!
That's fire.
Thanks, I've been
working on it.
Tulip, I have
to tell you the craziest--
Shh.
I've been practicing.
Let the student be the teacher.
Lucas asked Posey
to the dance.
What? How could you
think of dancing at a time like this?
And what did she say?
I don't know, I didn't hear.
Well, what if Posey decides to go to
the dance with Lucas instead of us?
I mean, how would you
feel about that?
I don't know!
How would you feel about it?
How could you ask me
something like that at a time like this?
Okay. Let's not get worked up.
We'll talk to Posey about it
when she's here.
You're right, you're right, you're right.
Let's change the subject till then.
How has
your day been friend?
Great. Thank you
so much for asking
friend.
I went to school,
my locker wouldn't open,
and then Lucas
asked Posey to the dance!
I know. Why do you
keep changing the subject?
Shelly. Shelly.
-Ew. That's not my order.
-And that's not mine.
Shelly. Shelly?
[both] Now it's right ♪
Well, it happened.
He asked me.
Lucas Jasper asked me to the dance.
I thought he was asking Posey.
I'm Posey!
If you say so.
Remember I told you
about the pact
and that I'm supposed
to go to the dance with my friends?
No. Wait
No.
Well obviously, I wanna go with Jade
and Tulip because I'm a good friend,
but also is it such a crime that
I maybe wanna go with him a little bit?
But also my friends are more important.
But also, also-- [screams]
Sunny! What should I do?
Well, you could
Oh, wait. I'm on break.
You're not wearing a watch.
Neither are you.
Okay. Posey's gonna be here
any minute. So remember,
when she tells us
that Lucas asked her to the dance,
which she doesn't know that we know,
we gotta act like we don't know.
Already confused, but go on.
I mean, obviously we want her
to choose to go with us.
But we don't want her
to feel like she has to choose us,
because we want her
to make her own choices.
And everyone should choose
what they want to choose
whenever they want
to choose it.
More confused.
What's the plan?
-Just play it cool.
-Oh. I can do that.
Hey, guys.
Lucas asked me to the dance.
[both gasp]
[scoffs] Girl, I don't care.
I'm cool as a bottle of beans
in Boston, babe.
Okay.
So what did you say?
I mean,
what'd you say babe?
I haven't
given him an answer yet.
What? What are you gonna say?
I mean, what are you
gonna say babe?
I think I'm gonna say no. Also, can we
cool it on the "babe"? It's getting weird.
Wait, you're really
gonna say no?
Yeah. I'm gonna
tell him tomorrow.
'Cause I wanna go
to the dance with you guys.
Oh, are you sure?
I'm sure. For real.
Also, you guys knew
Lucas asked me to the dance, didn't you?
We had no idea.
I just lied to you.
I'll never lie to you again. That was also
a lie. Jade, help me out here.
We knew.
[sighs]
All right. You got this.
Hey, Lucas. Got a sec?
I got all the time
in the world for you, Pose.
Cool. Uh, so, um
about the dance and
-you and I going together.
-Yeah?
I
can't go with you.
-Oh. It's cool. I get it.
-It's not that I don't wanna go with you--
-I already had this plan--
-You know, you don't have to explain.
I should probably
get to class.
Wait.
Still friends?
Always.
Friends.
Bye, Lucas Jasper.
Oh, no. He really likes her.
Yeah and she
really likes him.
It was hard for me
to say no to Lucas,
but the night of the dance came around
and I really was excited
to go with my besties
just like we planned.
But, we kinda
changed the plan.
Okay. Let
the magical night begin.
I made a playlist,
brought my matching dress
I just need someone to do the nails on
my right hand, because I just can't.
Sorry, can't help you.
Okay, fine. But my right hand's
gonna look like a toddler did it.
Posey, we've decided we don't wanna
go to the dance with you anymore.
So you're not gonna need this.
What the You just
Why did you do that?
Because we want you
to go to the dance with Lucas!
Yeah, we were watching when you told Lucas
you couldn't go with him.
You saw that?
Yes! We're creepers
slash amazing best friends.
So sue us!
You clearly like him, Posey.
And he clearly likes you.
What? No! I don't like Lucas.
You really think he likes me?
Yes. And that's why
you should go with him.
But what about the pact?
And not letting a crush come between us?
It won't. I'm not really
into Lucas like that anymore.
He's cool, but this gal's
got a lotta suitors.
Same, girl. Look,
it ain't that deep.
Besides, we'd much rather
see you be happy and go to the dance
with a guy you really like.
I don't know what to say.
Say you'll go with Lucas.
Okay, I'll go with Lucas.
[both squeal]
Except now I have
nothing to wear.
You know, 'cause you cut my dress to bits
with huge scissors.
And I'd do it again
'cause I love ya, kid!
And I thought about stopping her,
but it was fun to watch, kid!
Guys, I love whatever this is,
but seriously, what am
I gonna wear?
Tulip, you have a dry cleaning rack
with like tons of clothes on it.
You don't have anything else
Posey could wear?
I do have one dress
that might work.
Oh, yeah. It works.
You look beautiful, Posey.
Thanks. So do you guys.
[in sing-song voice]
I told you we'd look good.
[in sing-song voice]
Yeah, you did.
[in normal voice]
Still better when you do it.
I do love this dress. But I am gonna
miss matching with you guys.
Well, we can still match
with these bracelets.
I made them myself. This way,
we'll always be together
even when we're not.
Aww, they're so cute.
[Jade] And we still have them.
-Electric Bloom forever.
-Best friends forever.
I love you guys.
Now, run to him!
No.
Oh, Pose
Maybe it's just one dance.
Yeah, it doesn't
mean anything.
Okay, that definitely
means something.
I'm too late.
I'm so sorry, Posey.
Thanks.
Look, I know it's
not the same,
but we'd still love
to dance with you if you'll have us.
I'd love that.
So, I danced the night away
with my two best friends.
And later, when I went back
to find my purse,
I saw a guitar on stage,
and got inspired.
I'm all right
I'm all good ♪
I'm just fine
Yeah, I'm over it ♪
I'm not sad, I'm not hurt ♪
Not even close to it ♪
There won't be
tears to cry ♪
All of the tears
are kept inside ♪
Oh, I'm doing fine ♪
I'm doing fine ♪
Oh, the lies
we tell our hearts ♪
How we keep our hearts
in the dark ♪
So they won't get broken ♪
And fall all apart ♪
Oh, the lies
we tell our hearts ♪
When the truth
is too hard to face ♪
Happens every minute ♪
Happens every day ♪
The lies
we tell our hearts ♪
Come on. Let's go home.
Posey, I--
