Part 1
Julian: Danny, I’ve got to talk to you!
On the plane to San Diego, Julian approaches you and Channing.
Julian: Hey, guys... you both got a second to talk?
Channing: Whatever you’re saying, I’m not interested. You’re lucky that Mia’s ankle is feeling better and she can still perform tomorrow. I’m surprised she let you come on this trip after what you did. I’m even more surprised that you bothered to show up.
Julian: I get that you’re angry...
Channing: Angry?! That doesn’t even begin to cover it! You nearly jeopardized our entire routine!
Julian: I know! I know! And... actually, that’s exactly what I want to talk to both of you about.
Danny: Let’s hear him out. Why don’t you take a seat?
Julian looks around, sees that Mia is a few rows down talking to Payton, then sits down next to both of you.
Julian: Okay, here goes...
Time - 8 hours
Julian: Danny, Channing, I’m sorry. I know I messed up. What Mia said to me yesterday really made that clear. I don’t want everyone to think that all I care about is this trip because that’s not true. Sure, I was in it at first to meet some football players, but after seeing Mia get hurt and... well, I let her and the entire team down. And now I want to make it up to you.
Channing: Yeah? What are you going to do? It’s going to take a little more than a poster to get us to trust you again.
Julian: I want to learn the routine. For real. I’ll actually study up, do it right, and surprise Mia.
Channing: You’ll take it seriously this time?
Julian: Yeah.
Channing: You do know that Mia probably won’t let you back into the performance, even if you do it perfectly.
Julian: I’m not counting on it. I just want to prove to her that I do care. For that to happen, though, I need you and the other guy cheerleaders to help me... would you be willing to do that? It might cut into your vacation time.
Channing: You know, I can talk them into it, but there’s one minor hitch in your plan. I don’t know how you’re going to surprise Mia. How are we going to practice? She’s probably not going to want us helping you out...
Julian: That’s where Danny comes in.
Danny: Me? What do you want me to do?
Julian: Keep Mia from finding out that we’re practicing behind her back.
Danny: How do I do that?
Julian: Distract her with something. I don’t know, shopping? You’re smart. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.
Danny: Consider it done!
Rewards
At long last, you arrive at the hotel in San Diego!
Payton: We’re here! We’re really here! What are we doing now? Where are we going first?
Mia: They did arrange a few activities for us before the meet-and-greet with the football players tonight, so I hope you like... THE ZOO!
Payton: Yes, yes, yes!
Danny: Onto the shuttle, everyone!
Part 2
Payton: First stop, the ZOO!
At the San Diego Zoo...
Payton: What do you want to see first?
Mia: As long as I’m here, we’re only seeing pretty animals, like arctic foxes and pandas!
Payton: ...SQUEEEE! PANDAS!
Julian: Uh... I was thinking of seeing the lizards... and the naked mole rats.
Mia: Ew... ‘naked mole rats’? Those are three words that should never go together!
Juilan: In that case... maybe we should split up. I’ll check them out with the guy cheerleaders!
Julian gives you a wink.
Danny: Sounds like a great idea! I’ll head off with Mia and the girls to check out those pandas!
Time - 14 hours
A while later...
Payton: OMG! The pandas are even cuter in real life!
Mia: Look at that one! I think he’s waving at me!
Payton: Hi, Mr. Panda! I can’t believe Julian is missing this!
Mia: Yeah! What kind of person would rather see naked mole creatures than cute cuddly pandas?
In the distance, you see Julian and a couple of the guy cheerleaders practicing some moves!
Danny: Uh... how about the lions? You guys want to see lions, right?
Mia: You bet! You know the females are the hunters, right? I can relate.
Payton: Let’s ride the ‘Skyfari’ to get there! It’s like a cool gondola that flies you over the park!
Danny: Perfect... we’ll go all the way to the other side of the zoo! Uh... I mean. Sounds like fun!
Rewards
Later, everyone meets up at the zoo exit...
Mia: That was awesome! Did you guys see any cool animals?
Julian: Uh! Yeah! Tons! The, uh, bats were super... batty?
Mia: Great! And the best news is that we’ve still got even more fun activities planned for the rest of the afternoon!
Payton: Time to throw on something you don’t mind getting wet... we’re heading down to the beach!
Part 3
Mia: A day on the beach? Better dress sunny!
Later, at the beach...
Mia: Very nice, Danny! I like the new look!
Danny: Thanks!
Payton: Everyone is looking super cute! Let’s go strut our stuff on the boardwalk.
Julian: As fun as that sounds... I was thinking we might check out the beach first!
Mia: Sure. That sounds fine. The beach it is!
Julian: Actually... I was thinking I might go with the cheerleading guys... so we can... tan?
Mia: I WISH I could tan, but I burn really easily...
Julian: No problem! We’ll just split up! Meet you later!
Julian and a couple of the male cheerleaders take off.
Danny: Let’s take on the boardwalk!
Mia: Yeah... sounds good.
You spend the next few hours checking out shops, watching the beachgoers, and eating snacks!
Payton: I can’t believe how sunny and warm it is down here!
Mia: ...and this ice cream is SO good!
Payton: Not as good as my snow cone!
Mia: I can’t believe Julian is missing out on this!
Danny: Heh, yeah... you know Julian... and how much he like to... uh... tan!
Rewards
Danny: Okay... what’s next? Beach volleyball? Building sandcastles?
Mia: Actually... I was thinking of checking in on Julian and the guys!
Danny: Uh... we can’t... because I... want to buy everyone surf lessons!
Payton: Woo hoo! Thanks, Danny! You’re the best!
Mia: Sounds like fun... but as soon as the lesson is over, I’m going to find the guys!
Danny: Great... so I’ll just pay for these then...
Part 4
After some instruction, you and your friends hit the surf, catching waves on your own!
Mia: Okay, last one for the afternoon! Let’s try to catch this next wave. It looks like it’ll be huge!
Danny: And a total blast to ride!
Payton: How do I get on this board again?
Mia: Paddle until the wave comes, then jump on your board, and stay low!
You all paddle furiously until the wave crests! You turn your board around, jump up, and stay low! You balance on the back of the board and surf smoothly with the wave, enjoying the movement, the shining sun on the water, and the ocean spray in your face!
Danny: Yeah! I did it!
Beside you, Mia surfs elegantly, cutting in and out of the water like a pro!
Payton: Hey, guys... look! I’m standing on my--
A huge wave wipes Payton out! She surfaces, sputtering.
Mia: Wipeout!
Payton: Yeah, yeah, all right... I’m ready to head in now...
As you paddle back towards shore, Mia pulls her surfboard up next to yours...
Mia: Do you know where the guys went off to? I feel like I’ve barely seen them this entire trip.
Danny: Uh... er, well... I think I heard them talking earlier about going to see something you wouldn’t be interested in like a weight-lifting competition.
Mia wrinkles her nose.
Mia: Figures. I don’t know what it is with guys always trying to outdo one another in weird feats of strength.
Danny: Yeah. It’s so not your thing, right?
Mia: Ha ha, definitely not.
Danny: (Whew! That was a close one!)
Payton: I’m with you on this one, Mia. It’s still nice and sunny out! Let’s take a walk!
You, Mia, and Payton reach the shore.
Mia: Payton and I are going to walk down towards the pier. Are you coming?
Danny: I think I’ll catch up with the guys actually.
Payton: All right! See you later, Danny! Stay cool!
She and Payton head down the beach.
Danny: ...I better see what Julian is actually up to.
You find Julian and the guy cheerleaders underneath the pier, practicing. The cheerleading guys are testing Julian on the routine...
Julian: Okay, I totally have this. Step, double step, cartwheel, hold...
Danny: Um, it’s step, double step, hold, then cartwheel.
Julian: ARG! I’m never going to get this.
Danny: Hey, you did almost get it. I think you know it well enough now to show it to Mia anyway.
Julian: No. No way. I don’t have it.
Danny: Well, you don’t have that much more time. We have the meet-and-greet party with the football players tonight, and then we should all get some sleep before the performance tomorrow...
Julian: Actually, I have the rest of the evening.
Danny: What? But Julian, what about the meet-and-greet?
Julian: Some things are more important than a party. Even if it is a party with famous football players that you’ve dreamed of meeting since you were five...
Danny: You’re a good friend, Julian.
Julian: Yeah, yeah, just tell me how you memorize all these steps...
Rewards
That evening, you, Mia, and Payton get ready for the party.
Danny: You guys almost ready to go?
Payton: Just give me five minutes...
Danny: You said that five minutes ago!
Payton: Well, I was wrong! Besides, we’ve got plenty of time. it’s in the ballroom of this hotel, isn’t it?
Danny: Yeah, but I’m just really excited to get there!
Mia: Me too! How’s my hair?
Danny: Perky! How do I look?
Mia: Totally dashing!
Payton: I’m sure everyone’s going to notice you tonight! Hee hee!
Danny: This is going to be so much fun!
Payton: Actually, I’m a little nervous. I don’t know what I’m going to eat, or what I’m going to say, or who I’m going to talk to first! Actually, I don’t even know who anyone is!
Mia: I’m sure Julian will be able to answer that. He should be helpful for SOMETHING on this trip...
Danny: Yeah... we’ll see if we even find him. Heh, heh.
Payton: Let’s grab everyone else and hit this party up!
Part 5
Payton: Ready to meet some football stars?
You, Mia, Payton, and the other cheerleaders enter a large ballroom decked out with grand curtains, bright streamers, and gargantuan balloons!
Uma: This is great! The lights, the musics, the set-up...
Danny: Yeah, it’s as grandiose as one of Payton’s parties!
Payton: Thanks, Danny, but this is more like a SUPER-Payton party! I’m SO thrilled we’re all part of this!
Mia: Yeah! And it’s nice to have you around, Channing and Sebastian! It’s like all the guys have been somewhere else entirely!
Channing: Well, we’re here now and ready to party!
Sebastian: Yeah, I’m going to hit the dance floor! Are you guys loving this DJ or what?
Uma: I’m with you! This is totally my song!
Uma, Channing, and Sebastian wiggle their way onto the dance floor.
Payton: I can’t decide what I want to do first! Do I dance, do I snack, do I mingle? Can I do them all at the SAME TIME?!
Danny: I think this party broke Payton.
Mia: Well, I’m starving. Let’s hit the snack table first.
You help yourselves to bacon-wrapped scallops while drinking sparkling juice. Around you, famous football stars mingle and feast.
Mia: Wow, now I know why Payton feels so nervous... and I don’t even know who all these people are! Then again, I’m not much of a football nut. How about you, Danny?
Danny: It’s all right. It’s not really my thing, but I know the major players here. It’s too bad Julian is missing this.
Mia: Oh yeah! This is totally his thing! Where’d he go? I thought he’d have cozied up to that quarterback or whoever he was going on about.
Danny: Hmmm, I’ll go find him and let you know.
Mia: Hey, wait, I’ll come with--
Danny: Got to run!
You duck into the crowd, leaving Mia behind in the glitzy ballroom.
Time - 16 hours
After some searching, you find Julian in the empty hotel gym, practicing the routine by himself!
Julian: Danny? Why aren’t you at the party?
Danny: Well, you weren’t there. I thought you might want some company. How’s it going?
Julian: I had some trouble with the last part of the routine, but I think I’ve got it down pat... want to see it in action?
Danny: That sounds perfect!
Julian runs through the performance. At the end, he steps, double steps, holds, then cartwheels! He gets into position at exactly the right time!
Julian: Then I throw Mia into the air and catch her like this!
Danny: Perfect!
Rewards
Julian: How’d I do?
Before you can answer, you hear the sound of applause from the door... where Mia is standing!
Mia: From here, I’d say, pretty good.
Julian: Mia!
Part 6
Julian: I guess our cover’s blown.
Mia keeps clapping as she enters the room. The other cheerleaders crowd around behind her.
Mia: Of course, your cheering could use some more pep... ...but it doesn’t look half-bad.
Danny: Mia! What are you doing here?
Mia: Come on, you didn’t really think you were pulling the cashmere over my eyes, did you? I figured that you were up to something when you snuck away from the party... and then I pieced everything together from the last day or so. Julian and the guy cheerleaders doing things I’d never be interested in? I’m pretty impressed that you learned the entire routine in just a few short practices.
Channing: They were some pretty intense practices. He really worked hard.
Mia: Really? I... I’m touched that you would take the time away from this fabulous vacation to show me that you actually do care...
Julian: I have to say that this whole cheerleading thing you do is NOT easy...
Mia: And I have something to tell you...
Time - 18 hours
Mia: Julian, you really learned the routine, and I know what you sacrificed to learn it. So it’s my pleasure to say that... You’re back on the team!
Julian: Yeah!
Channing: Congrats, man!
Julian high-fives all the guy cheerleaders and chest-bumps you!
Danny: Oof!
Julian: Thanks, Mia!
Mia: You did it all yourself. I’ll see you on the field tomorrow... but for now... There’s a certain famous football quarterback that you just HAVE to talk to...
Rewards
The next day, at halftime...
Mia: This is it, guys! They’re calling us out! Get your game faces on!
Danny: I can’t believe this is happening! Let’s go!
You, Mia, Julian, and the other cheerleaders burst through your hand-painted banner and onto the field!
Part 7
Mia: It’s time to show the world that we’re the best! Cheerleaders, go!
You and the cheerleaders run out onto the field! Around you, thousands of rabid football fans scream and yell enthusiastically.
Danny: Woo hoo! Yeah! YEAH!
You and Mia do a couple of cartwheels, and everyone yells louder!
Mia: We’re here! We’re really here!
Julian: This feels amazing! Wooooooooo!!!
You see your entire team on the jumbo screen as the camera pans over your squad and the loudspeakers blare the name of your school. The music starts, and despite the nerves, you all settle into your well-rehearsed routine.
Julian: Go, team, go!
Danny: Go, team, go!
At the end, you and Mia fly up into the air for your kick-twists, hit your high point, and fall...
Julian: ...
Time - 23 hours
You and Mia land safely on the guy cheerleaders’ shoulders! The two of you are lowered to the ground as the fans go crazy, thumping their feet and cheering ecstatically!
Mia: Nice catch, Julian.
Julian: Pffft, it was nothing.
She laughs as you all turn and run off the field, confetti raining down on everyone! Backstage, you find Payton!
Payton: OMG, OMG, OMG! You guys looked awesomely, amazingly AMAZING! It was perfect!
Mia: Yeah, it was, wasn’t it? Good job, everyone!
Danny: We couldn’t have done it without such a good leader, Mia.
Mia: And I couldn’t have done it without a team that I could trust.
Danny: Aww, Mia...
Mia: Now, I believe we have a game to watch... in our EXCLUSIVE box seats!!!
Payton: Yay!
Rewards
After watching an exciting game of football from plush, comfy seats and snacking on game day favorites, you and all the cheerleaders head back to your hotel.
Julian: That was so awesome! Watching HDTV has got nothing on sitting in the box seats!
Danny: Yeah, really! I don’t know how I’ll go back.
Payton: Speaking of which, we don’t have to go back home until tomorrow...
Mia: Uh-huh. What are you getting at?
Payton: Are you thinking what I’m thinking? We have an entire night in these hotel rooms with nothing else to do tomorrow morning! I call SLUMBER PARTY!
Julian: Yeah!
Danny: I’m down!
Part 8
Payton: We cheered our hearts out! Now it’s time to party!
At the sleepover party...
Mia: Ready to watch a movie, everyone?
Julian: Sure thing! Uh, I mean, ‘Bring it On!’
Danny: Spoken like a true cheerleader!
Payton: Who wants a manicure?
Mia: You don’t have to ask me twice! How about you, Julian?
Julian: I’m glad I’m part of the team again... but there are still some things I just won’t do.
Mia: Come on... just ONE nail.
Payton: We promise, we’ll never tell anyone... and we’ll be your best friends!
Julian: Fine. One nail... but you’d better paint it a manly color! Like... camouflage!
Payton: Yay! Best cheerleader sleepover ever!
Rewards
You and the cheerleading squad arrive safely home. At school the next day...
Mia: So, Julian, now that the trip’s over... should I expect you at cheer practice this afternoon?
Payton: You really proved you were a good cheerleader on the trip!
Julian: Uh... I mean, it was fun and all, but uh... well...
Mia: I’m just kidding. Even though you made a pretty good teammate at the end, I know you’re really a football player at heart...
Julian: It was fun while it lasted, you know.
Mia: Oh, I bet.
Danny: I guess if the cheer team is ever in a pinch, we’ll know who to call!
As you reach your lockers, Nishan runs up to you.
Nishan: Wow! Nice tan, Danny! How was your trip to San Diego?
Danny: It was great! I got to see some animals, learned to surf, and even got to meet some pro football players!
Nishan: That’s what I like about you, Danny... your versatility. You have a lot of good... general knowledge. ...and that’s why I want you to join my quiz bowl team!
Sounds like you might have a brand new adventure with Nishan coming up! Keep playing to find out what happens in the next quest!

Uma: I’m with you! This is totally my song!
Uma, Channing, and Sebastian wiggle their way onto the dance floor.
Payton: I can’t decide what I want to do first! Do I dance, do I snack, do I mingle? Can I do them all at the SAME TIME?!
Danny: I think this party broke Payton.
Mia: Well, I’m starving. Let’s hit the snack table first.
You help yourselves to bacon-wrapped scallops while drinking sparkling juice. Around you, famous football stars mingle and feast.
Mia: Wow, now I know why Payton feels so nervous... and I don’t even know who all these people are! Then again, I’m not much of a football nut. How about you, Danny?
Danny: It’s all right. It’s not really my thing, but I know the major players here. It’s too bad Julian is missing this.
Mia: Oh yeah! This is totally his thing! Where’d he go? I thought he’d have cozied up to that quarterback or whoever he was going on about.
Danny: Hmmm, I’ll go find him and let you know.
Mia: Hey, wait, I’ll come with--
Danny: Got to run!
You duck into the crowd, leaving Mia behind in the glitzy ballroom.
Time - 16 hours
After some searching, you find Julian in the empty hotel gym, practicing the routine by himself!
Julian: Danny? Why aren’t you at the party?
Danny: Well, you weren’t there. I thought you might want some company. How’s it going?
Julian: I had some trouble with the last part of the routine, but I think I’ve got it down pat... want to see it in action?
Danny: That sounds perfect!
Julian runs through the performance. At the end, he steps, double steps, holds, then cartwheels! He gets into position at exactly the right time!
Julian: Then I throw Mia into the air and catch her like this!
Danny: Perfect!

- A Level 8+ Guy Cheerleader (Channing)
Mia keeps clapping as she enters the room. The other cheerleaders crowd around behind her.
Mia: Of course, your cheering could use some more pep... ...but it doesn’t look half-bad.
Danny: Mia! What are you doing here?
Mia: Come on, you didn’t really think you were pulling the cashmere over my eyes, did you? I figured that you were up to something when you snuck away from the party... and then I pieced everything together from the last day or so. Julian and the guy cheerleaders doing things I’d never be interested in? I’m pretty impressed that you learned the entire routine in just a few short practices.
Channing: They were some pretty intense practices. He really worked hard.
Mia: Really? I... I’m touched that you would take the time away from this fabulous vacation to show me that you actually do care...
Julian: I have to say that this whole cheerleading thing you do is NOT easy...
Mia: And I have something to tell you...
Time - 18 hours
Mia: Julian, you really learned the routine, and I know what you sacrificed to learn it. So it’s my pleasure to say that... You’re back on the team!
Julian: Yeah!
Channing: Congrats, man!
Julian high-fives all the guy cheerleaders and chest-bumps you!
Danny: Oof!
Julian: Thanks, Mia!
Mia: You did it all yourself. I’ll see you on the field tomorrow... but for now... There’s a certain famous football quarterback that you just HAVE to talk to...

You and Mia do a couple of cartwheels, and everyone yells louder!
Mia: We’re here! We’re really here!
Julian: This feels amazing! Wooooooooo!!!
You see your entire team on the jumbo screen as the camera pans over your squad and the loudspeakers blare the name of your school. The music starts, and despite the nerves, you all settle into your well-rehearsed routine.

At the end, you and Mia fly up into the air for your kick-twists, hit your high point, and fall...
Julian: ...

You and Mia land safely on the guy cheerleaders’ shoulders! The two of you are lowered to the ground as the fans go crazy, thumping their feet and cheering ecstatically!
Mia: Nice catch, Julian.
Julian: Pffft, it was nothing.
She laughs as you all turn and run off the field, confetti raining down on everyone! Backstage, you find Payton!
Payton: OMG, OMG, OMG! You guys looked awesomely, amazingly AMAZING! It was perfect!
Mia: Yeah, it was, wasn’t it? Good job, everyone!
Danny: We couldn’t have done it without such a good leader, Mia.
Mia: And I couldn’t have done it without a team that I could trust.
Danny: Aww, Mia...
Mia: Now, I believe we have a game to watch... in our EXCLUSIVE box seats!!!
Payton: Yay!

Payton: Speaking of which, we don’t have to go back home until tomorrow...
Mia: Uh-huh. What are you getting at?
Payton: Are you thinking what I’m thinking? We have an entire night in these hotel rooms with nothing else to do tomorrow morning! I call SLUMBER PARTY!

Julian: Sure thing! Uh, I mean, ‘Bring it On!’
Danny: Spoken like a true cheerleader!
Payton: Who wants a manicure?
Mia: You don’t have to ask me twice! How about you, Julian?
Julian: I’m glad I’m part of the team again... but there are still some things I just won’t do.
Mia: Come on... just ONE nail.
Payton: We promise, we’ll never tell anyone... and we’ll be your best friends!
Julian: Fine. One nail... but you’d better paint it a manly color! Like... camouflage!

Julian: It was fun while it lasted, you know.
Mia: Oh, I bet.
