The Sleepover
1 No matter what you're doing No matter what you're playing It's no matter what you're saying 'Cause we're doing it all the same No matter where you are Or where you're coming from Put your hand on your heart Don't wait Yeah, you know that I, we, me, us We're doing it all the same No matter where you are Or where you're coming from Put your hand on your heart Don't wait Yeah, you know that I, we, me, us We're doing it all the same Yeah - [bells tolling.]
- [cow mooing.]
[Zoe.]
Check it out.
The classic English summer's morning.
Birds singing, cows mooing, church bells ringing [Maggie.]
Zoe! Breakfast.
And the unmistakable cry of your mom who's randomly banned you from riding.
But, hey, that's what summer's all about, right? [cell phone rings.]
- Hey, guys, anything to report? - [Becky.]
We found a clue.
Aka, some lost property.
It's engraved.
Looks like "M something.
" - What starts with "M"? - Molecularity.
It's to do with the number of molecules in a chemical reaction.
- Yes.
- Or maybe M stands for Marcus? Where did you find this, Becky? It was in the yard this morning.
It wasn't here when I left last night.
- How's Raven doing? - He's here.
Look.
Don't worry, we're keeping an eye on him.
Whoa, I just saw up your nose.
Wait, okay, show me Raven again.
You guys, look at his tail.
It's braided.
Thieves use braids to mark horses they're planning to steal.
- You said they'd come back for him.
- We need a plan.
Meet me in the café in half an hour.
And get somebody to unbraid that tail.
- [Maggie.]
Where are you going? - [Zoe.]
The café.
I can still do that, right? Drink coffee? Have friends? Exist? - Zoe! - [Rosie.]
Wait.
I wanna exist, too.
Ugh! Hurry up, Rosie.
[Rosie.]
Coming, I just I can't find my shoe.
[Zoe.]
I'm so done trying to find your shoes for you.
Zoe's still mad at me.
Can you blame her? She's confused.
You need to tell her the truth.
Where was this wisdom when I was growing up? - Came free with the wrinkles.
- [chuckles.]
And maybe because I know what it's like to have my daughter push me away.
I'm dealing with it, Dad.
I am.
In my own way.
Can you hurry up, please? Stop the press.
What? What happened? - I just can't believe it.
- Rosie! Mia just invited me to a sleepover.
- That is the big news? - Jealous much? Why would anybody want to invite a ten-year-old to a sleepover? Ah! - Unless she - Unless what? You think she's trying to get at you? Maybe she likes me.
She called Mom from camp.
It was an honest mistake.
- She tried getting me into trouble.
- No, she didn't.
Mia's nice.
Really nice.
She's like a big sister to me.
You already have a big sister.
- Me.
- Then come to the sleepover with me.
Mia's house is gorgeous.
You can post pics and show everyone back home the great time you're having.
Believe me, I have no desire to sleep near Mia.
I doubt I'd wake up again.
- Fine.
- Wait.
Rosie, did you braid Raven's tail yesterday at Pony Camp? Are you insane? That horse is a liability.
I'd rather try and braid Godzilla.
What? I totally would.
- [Becky.]
Here you go.
- Oh, thanks.
[Becky.]
Zoe.
- Hey.
- [Becky.]
Hi.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Mia's holiday project is going well.
- You've got a stray hair.
- [Becky.]
Good for her.
My Bob tapestry is hopelessly behind schedule.
No, I meant her trying to get back with Marcus.
[Becky.]
Oh.
[groans.]
If Marcus was my boyfriend, I would just stare at him all day.
[scoffs.]
I'm sure he'd love that.
They'll be back together by the end of the summer.
Guaranteed.
Maybe he likes playing games just as much as she does.
Incoming.
Becky, Jade.
Hi, Zoe.
These are for the county show.
Can you pop one behind the till for me, Becks? Pop.
Dental surgery.
She can't really speak right now.
- Did you feel that? - Yeah.
Like electricity.
Oh, no, it'll be your jacket.
Nylon.
Super conductive.
[Mia.]
Marcus.
Can we just order? Um, oh.
Is this yours, by the way? We found it this morning.
No, never seen it before.
Sorry.
Laters.
How was I when I almost spoke to Hot Marcus? Was I okay? You were really cool.
If it's not his then whose is it? - [gasps.]
It's ghost pony's riding crop.
- Okay.
Not quite that old.
But these haven't been in regulation since 1996.
So, Rosie didn't braid Raven's tail.
And somebody's been going into the yard at night.
It's time we talked to Sam.
[Zoe.]
They only took Firefly because he was in Raven's stable.
Raven is the target.
They're planning another attempt, and they marked his tail last night.
We think that they left this behind.
- Now tell her about ghost pony.
- Shh.
Raven is in danger.
I got it wrong about Pin, but this time I'm right.
I know it.
I'm sorry, Zoe.
I don't think Firefly was taken by mistake.
He's a valuable horse.
Please, just don't leave Raven in the paddock tonight.
We are all upset about Firefly, and I understand that you're scared about losing Raven, but I can't keep him locked up 24-7.
He's a wild horse.
He prefers to be outside.
Look, we can't live in fear.
Hmm? Zoe.
Your mom doesn't want you at the stables.
So, if I see you here again, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to tell her.
Okay? [Zoe.]
What if she leaves him in the paddock? Okay, right now, sunshine, tons of people, he's safe.
But when the stables close and it gets dark - The thieves will strike.
- Exactly.
But what can we do about it? We have to stay here and guard the ponies.
- A night watch.
- A sleepover.
I love sleepovers.
Crisps and ghost stories and more crisps.
Crisps.
Okay, those are chips, right? - Wait.
What about your mom? - Mmm.
I don't know.
I'll figure something out.
But my gramps has got my back, I think.
Guys? We were gonna stay here for the afternoon.
'Cause, you know, we're not banned.
Oh, yeah, right.
Of course.
I'll see you later.
Will you be okay? Yeah, yeah.
I'll see you tonight.
And I'll bring a bunch of crisps.
[Becky.]
You can bring chips.
We're not fussy.
[Zoe.]
Yes.
It's funny, I didn't hear it.
- [Zoe.]
What? - The hurricane that tore through.
[chuckles.]
Welcome to my world.
- Looking for anything in particular? - Yeah, a flashlight.
For a sleepover.
So, Mia invited both of you to her sleepover? Oh.
No, no, it's, um It's with Becky and Jade.
At Jade's house.
I just figured because Rosie's going to Mia's, I thought I'd be allowed.
Mm-hmm.
- Thanks, Mom.
- That's my girls.
Friends again.
One torch.
Sorry, "flashlight.
" So, I'll just clear all this up, then.
[grunts.]
I found this.
Reserve Best in Show.
That.
Uh That is from when your grandma and I used to breed dogs.
- But you don't know anything about dogs.
- Yes, I do.
What do you call a magician's dog? A labra-cadabra-dor.
[chuckles.]
Fine.
Fine, keep your weird secrets.
[Zoe.]
So, I was real a jerk to Pin, but maybe there's a way to make it up to him.
- [static hisses.]
- Mm.
Looks like Jade's not the only scientific genius around here.
Someone call the guards I think I might start a fire I'm losing all control I'm giving in to desire Climbing over restless limbs All tied up in knots for loving him Hey.
Pin.
How's he doing? So, um, I brought you this.
Yeah, we had a dog when I was little.
Baxter.
Um, and he got sick.
So, he used to like listening to the radio.
The music, the talking, it calmed him.
So, um I thought it might help with your horse.
Okay.
Okay, I get it.
So, what happened? To your dog, Baxter.
He got better.
He's back with Dad in LA right now.
Probably eating the couch.
I really am sorry.
- Do you wanna ride? - I can't.
My mom has banned me from riding.
Really? Why? - I have no idea.
- That's crazy.
You're a born rider, Zoe.
So do you wanna go for a ride? [Pin.]
Feeling better? [Zoe.]
Yeah, it's weird.
As soon as my mom said I couldn't ride, it's all I wanted to do.
[Pin.]
I can't imagine a day without riding.
It's not It's not just the horses, it's It's Raven.
I can't get him out of my head.
Climbing over restless limbs Wait, where are we going? [Pin.]
To visit a friend.
I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy [Pin.]
What's wrong? Don't worry, no one can see us.
I asked Sam not to leave him out here.
- Raven! - [whinnying.]
How you doing, boy? My dad always said this one was trouble.
Raven likes you, though.
He seems so damaged.
I wonder what happened to him.
Who made him like this? Some horses are just born wild.
[Marcus.]
Hey! Oh.
I didn't realize it was you.
What are you doing? I'm sorry, I know I know Sam doesn't want me here.
We all want you here, Zoe.
It's just your mom made it pretty clear.
Sam doesn't want more trouble.
- She's worried about Raven in the paddock.
- I know.
- But he gets agitated when we keep him in.
- What if the thieves come? They won't.
They got what they wanted.
Obviously I'm in league with them, so I'd know.
[Zoe chuckles.]
Any more news about Firefly? Nothing.
The police are fairly sure the thieves took him off the island.
These people don't mess about.
I've gotta get back.
Oh.
Okay, well, I can walk from here.
See you later.
I hope you sort stuff out with your mom.
Thank you.
Bye, boy.
[Maggie.]
You'll be all right with the big girls? Please, Mom.
I was born to sleepover.
[chuckles.]
And Zoe's all right at Jade's, isn't she? Okay, whatever they plan on doing, it's totally gonna be more of a sleep-under than a sleepover.
Which seems to be Zoe's style these days.
Maybe I should come in.
- Just to make sure everything's okay.
- Mom.
I got this.
- Call me if you need me to pick you up.
- Okay.
Hey there, you.
Come on in.
We're gonna have so much fun.
[Elliot.]
Maggie! Elliot.
I'd have come to say hi, but Rosie made it clear I wasn't invited.
Oh.
These independent girls.
How are you? I'm good.
- When are we going to have that catch-up? - Well, I'm free now.
- Okay.
Great.
- [chuckles.]
Jade? Becky? Hey.
It's just me.
I'm here now, boy.
Hey.
Hey.
[neighs.]
I didn't realize we were babysitting.
Rosie's sweet.
And Zoe totally neglects her, poor thing.
She'll probably fall asleep soon anyway.
- It's past her bedtime.
- [both laugh.]
This bag is gorgeous.
[Mia.]
Oh, it's designer.
Daddy got it for me from Paris.
You can have it if you like.
Shut the front door.
[chuckles.]
I'm thinking of getting my hair shorter.
I'm just not sure it'll suit me.
Well? You'd look amazing.
[Mia.]
Rosie, what do you think? I think your hair is the definition of perfect.
Oh! Thanks, Rosie.
- Can I still keep the bag? - Of course.
It's nice to know that I've got at least one honest friend.
[door creaking.]
- Hi.
- [sighs.]
Sorry we're late.
Becky had to close the café.
That's okay, you guys are here now.
Okay.
And I got a surprise.
So, I did my research and You brought crisps.
- Zoe, you're my actual hero.
- Yeah.
I declare this sleepover open.
[all whooping.]
[Becky.]
The ghost pony appears at night.
Jealously guarding its hidden treasures.
Anyone who lays eyes on this beast immediately dies from shock.
Thus, details about this pony are scarce.
But his name.
His name is mentioned by flickering candlelight.
Striking fear into the hearts of those who hear it.
His name.
His name is Pebbles.
- [laughs.]
Pebbles? - What? - [both laughing.]
- Pebbles can be scary.
Like at the beach.
If they're all wet and slippery.
- They're a safety hazard.
- [both laughing.]
Dad's busy.
He's always got some business deal on the go, but he knows what's best for me.
So, if he says I should get over Firefly, then that's exactly what I'll have to do.
It's a test of character.
Why do you need a test of character? It's how a person matures, Rosie.
Just because you feel like you want something, it doesn't mean it's the right thing for your overall personal development.
Exactly.
Sometimes you need a friend or a family member, someone who really loves you, to show you the right way.
I told Sam to donate Firefly's old tack to charity.
- I don't wanna see it around the yard.
- 'Cause it'll make you sad? Because I need to make room for my new horse's kit.
- That reminds me.
I was online shopping - What about your dad, Rosie? What's he like? How come he stayed behind in America? Um Because of work.
Uh, but he's coming to visit us really, really soon.
Aw.
Oh.
That's so great.
So, you'll be together again.
Oh, divorce is so common.
Susie's parents aren't even married.
[cell phone chimes.]
[gasps.]
OMG.
- Hot Marcus added you.
- This is huge.
He's so into you.
You've got, like, a million unanswered invites here.
- Really? Hm.
- Yeah.
- I haven't been on this site much.
- This is all really interesting, but the thing is, Hot Marcus is trying to friend you in the here and now.
- You can't leave him hanging.
- When he handed you a flyer, your hands touched and, kaboom, the heavens opened and bolts of lightning rained down.
Kaboom? Total kaboom.
All right.
Fine.
If it'll make you happy.
- [cell phone chimes.]
- Kaboom.
Accepted.
Look at him.
Just look at him.
Can you send me some of these photos? [cell phone chimes.]
- Whoops.
- "Whoops"? Whoops, whoops.
What do you mean, "whoops"? You just favorited a picture of Hot Marcus in his swimwear.
- My finger slipped.
- Right, give me that.
It's frozen.
- Okay, wait.
Right.
It's working.
- [cell phone chiming.]
Whoops.
No, no, no more "whoops.
" No more "whoops.
" I just favorited 34 photos of Hot Marcus in 60 seconds.
Whoops-erama.
Let's hope Mia's not online.
[pop music playing over speakers.]
That's from my first competition.
We went on to win the under-13 championships six times but that time we came dead last.
It was the happiest day of my life.
- You really miss him, don't you? - Of course she does.
What? It's true.
When I was riding him, it was like nothing else mattered, you know? I have five horses, but I only had one Firefly.
It's okay to be sad.
You really don't wanna get rid of his stuff, do you? Well, it's too late anyway.
The charity are picking up everything from the stables tomorrow.
So we've still got time.
[Rosie.]
Let's go.
[sighs.]
[high-pitched creaking.]
Guys? Guys? Guys.
- What is it? - I heard something.
It's gone silent.
- Like a ghost in the night.
- Like ghost pony, you mean? [sighs.]
Not funny Becky.
[rattling.]
Or it's horse thieves.
In the yard.
- On horseback? - There's only one way to find out.
Come on.
Becky.
- [horse approaching.]
- Do you think it's Sam? - Why would Sam be riding at night? - I don't know.
[Elliot.]
You're doing great, Maggie.
Mom? Well, this is unexpected.
- What are you girls doing here? - What are you doing here? What's going on? Why are you riding? Wait.
Wait.
These initials aren't MB.
They're MS.
Maggie Steel.
This is yours, isn't it, Mom? - Look, Zoe.
I can explain, I - Um What exactly is Mom doing at your sleepover? More importantly, why is my dad here? [Jade.]
Why do you two have horse braids in your hair? Am I the only one relieved to find out there's no ghost pony? The show's over.
We all just [Raven whinnying.]
Raven.
- [man.]
What are you doing? We gotta go.
- No, no, no! - [man.]
Get hold of him.
- Call 911.
- That's not the number here.
- You know what I mean.
[man.]
What are you playing at? Get over here.
- Hey! Get away from my horse! - [man.]
People are coming.
Zoe! Get away from him! - [man.]
Get off! - Stop! - Zoe! - Get away from him! Stop! [yelps.]
[whinnying.]
[shouts, grunts.]
[man.]
It's too late.
Forget it.
Yeah, that's right, you'd better run! Pony squad strikes again.
- [engine starts.]
- Zoe? Mom? Why is she not moving? [Maggie.]
Zoe.
Darling.
Zoe.
- [cow mooing.]
[Zoe.]
Check it out.

Wait.
I wanna exist, too.
Ugh! Hurry up, Rosie.
[Rosie.]
Coming, I just I can't find my shoe.
[Zoe.]
I'm so done trying to find your shoes for you.
Zoe's still mad at me.
Can you blame her? She's confused.

I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy [Pin.]
What's wrong? Don't worry, no one can see us.
I asked Sam not to leave him out here.

[Maggie.]
You'll be all right with the big girls? Please, Mom.
I was born to sleepover.
[chuckles.]
And Zoe's all right at Jade's, isn't she? Okay, whatever they plan on doing, it's totally gonna be more of a sleep-under than a sleepover.
Which seems to be Zoe's style these days.
Maybe I should come in.
- Just to make sure everything's okay.
- Mom.
I got this.
- Call me if you need me to pick you up.
- Okay.
Hey there, you.
Come on in.
We're gonna have so much fun.
[Elliot.]
Maggie! Elliot.
I'd have come to say hi, but Rosie made it clear I wasn't invited.
Oh.
These independent girls.
How are you? I'm good.
- When are we going to have that catch-up? - Well, I'm free now.
- Okay.
Great.
- [chuckles.]
Jade? Becky? Hey.
It's just me.
I'm here now, boy.
Hey.
Hey.
[neighs.]
I didn't realize we were babysitting.
Rosie's sweet.
And Zoe totally neglects her, poor thing.
She'll probably fall asleep soon anyway.
- It's past her bedtime.
- [both laugh.]
This bag is gorgeous.
[Mia.]
Oh, it's designer.
Daddy got it for me from Paris.
You can have it if you like.
Shut the front door.
[chuckles.]
I'm thinking of getting my hair shorter.
I'm just not sure it'll suit me.
Well? You'd look amazing.
[Mia.]
Rosie, what do you think? I think your hair is the definition of perfect.
Oh! Thanks, Rosie.
- Can I still keep the bag? - Of course.
It's nice to know that I've got at least one honest friend.
[door creaking.]
- Hi.
- [sighs.]
Sorry we're late.
Becky had to close the café.
That's okay, you guys are here now.
Okay.
And I got a surprise.
So, I did my research and You brought crisps.
- Zoe, you're my actual hero.
- Yeah.
I declare this sleepover open.
[all whooping.]
[Becky.]
The ghost pony appears at night.
Jealously guarding its hidden treasures.
Anyone who lays eyes on this beast immediately dies from shock.
Thus, details about this pony are scarce.
But his name.
His name is mentioned by flickering candlelight.
Striking fear into the hearts of those who hear it.
His name.
His name is Pebbles.
- [laughs.]
Pebbles? - What? - [both laughing.]
- Pebbles can be scary.
Like at the beach.
If they're all wet and slippery.
- They're a safety hazard.
- [both laughing.]
Dad's busy.
He's always got some business deal on the go, but he knows what's best for me.
So, if he says I should get over Firefly, then that's exactly what I'll have to do.
It's a test of character.
Why do you need a test of character? It's how a person matures, Rosie.
Just because you feel like you want something, it doesn't mean it's the right thing for your overall personal development.
Exactly.
Sometimes you need a friend or a family member, someone who really loves you, to show you the right way.
I told Sam to donate Firefly's old tack to charity.
- I don't wanna see it around the yard.
- 'Cause it'll make you sad? Because I need to make room for my new horse's kit.
- That reminds me.
I was online shopping - What about your dad, Rosie? What's he like? How come he stayed behind in America? Um Because of work.
Uh, but he's coming to visit us really, really soon.
Aw.
Oh.
That's so great.
So, you'll be together again.
Oh, divorce is so common.
Susie's parents aren't even married.
[cell phone chimes.]
[gasps.]
OMG.
- Hot Marcus added you.
- This is huge.
He's so into you.
You've got, like, a million unanswered invites here.
- Really? Hm.
- Yeah.
- I haven't been on this site much.
- This is all really interesting, but the thing is, Hot Marcus is trying to friend you in the here and now.
- You can't leave him hanging.
- When he handed you a flyer, your hands touched and, kaboom, the heavens opened and bolts of lightning rained down.
Kaboom? Total kaboom.
All right.
Fine.
If it'll make you happy.
- [cell phone chimes.]
- Kaboom.
Accepted.
Look at him.
Just look at him.
Can you send me some of these photos? [cell phone chimes.]
- Whoops.
- "Whoops"? Whoops, whoops.
What do you mean, "whoops"? You just favorited a picture of Hot Marcus in his swimwear.
- My finger slipped.
- Right, give me that.
It's frozen.
- Okay, wait.
Right.
It's working.
- [cell phone chiming.]
Whoops.
No, no, no more "whoops.
" No more "whoops.
" I just favorited 34 photos of Hot Marcus in 60 seconds.
Whoops-erama.
Let's hope Mia's not online.
[pop music playing over speakers.]
That's from my first competition.
We went on to win the under-13 championships six times but that time we came dead last.
It was the happiest day of my life.
- You really miss him, don't you? - Of course she does.
What? It's true.
When I was riding him, it was like nothing else mattered, you know? I have five horses, but I only had one Firefly.
It's okay to be sad.
You really don't wanna get rid of his stuff, do you? Well, it's too late anyway.
The charity are picking up everything from the stables tomorrow.
So we've still got time.
[Rosie.]
Let's go.
[sighs.]
[high-pitched creaking.]
Guys? Guys? Guys.
- What is it? - I heard something.
It's gone silent.
- Like a ghost in the night.
- Like ghost pony, you mean? [sighs.]
Not funny Becky.
[rattling.]
Or it's horse thieves.
In the yard.
- On horseback? - There's only one way to find out.
Come on.
Becky.
- [horse approaching.]
- Do you think it's Sam? - Why would Sam be riding at night? - I don't know.
[Elliot.]
You're doing great, Maggie.
Mom? Well, this is unexpected.
- What are you girls doing here? - What are you doing here? What's going on? Why are you riding? Wait.
Wait.
These initials aren't MB.
They're MS.
Maggie Steel.
This is yours, isn't it, Mom? - Look, Zoe.
I can explain, I - Um What exactly is Mom doing at your sleepover? More importantly, why is my dad here? [Jade.]
Why do you two have horse braids in your hair? Am I the only one relieved to find out there's no ghost pony? The show's over.
We all just [Raven whinnying.]
Raven.
- [man.]
What are you doing? We gotta go.
- No, no, no! - [man.]
Get hold of him.
- Call 911.
- That's not the number here.
- You know what I mean.
[man.]
What are you playing at? Get over here.
- Hey! Get away from my horse! - [man.]
People are coming.
Zoe! Get away from him! - [man.]
Get off! - Stop! - Zoe! - Get away from him! Stop! [yelps.]
[whinnying.]
[shouts, grunts.]
[man.]
It's too late.
Forget it.
Yeah, that's right, you'd better run! Pony squad strikes again.
- [engine starts.]
- Zoe? Mom? Why is she not moving? [Maggie.]
Zoe.
Darling.
Zoe.
