[Angelina fears that the stinky Rodentfort Cheese --at the Fere Francaise festival-- it would drive the mouse residents of Chipping Cheddar nuts. And her idea was to tell Mrs. Thimble the truth nicely. To vote for what person to tell Mrs. Thimble the truth about the Rodentford cheese, Angelina plays the Hot Potato rhyme with A.Z, Alice, and Gracie and taps on their fists. The fist who stops on whoever's should be the person to tell Mrs. Thimble.]
Angelina[chanting] One potato, two potato,
Three potato, four,
Five potato, six potato,
Seven potato, MORE!
[When Angelina says, "...MORE!", her fist stops on her own. That means Angelina is "it" and the person to tell Mrs. Thimble the truth about the smelly cheese.]
Angelina
Oh dear!
Angelina
[narrating] The next day, something happened which made my big dreams very small indeed.
[The scene cuts to Polly and Mrs. Mouseling. Polly is crying because she does not want Angelina moving away to Metroquefort Ballet Companies Junior Ballet School --the said boarding school-- for her big dream. Because then, Angelina is moving to other places so she can travel around the world after boarding school. And starting the first "move-out", it is boarding school. And beyond that, the "Big Dream" includes boarding school, college, group home after college, marriage, and eventually having own mouselings of Angelina's own. That is, and not just boarding school. Because Angelina is also going to face college, living in a group home after college, marriage, and eventually having children of her own. Angelina is in second grade this year, but in the beginning of September --and after summer-- boarding school --the first move-- starts. And it takes place in Angelina's year of third grade. Camembert Academy is for school age mouselings, starting with kindergarten. But it only is kindergarten to second grade. Angelina --to repeat-- is in second grade this year. But the move --with the first one overall being boarding school-- starts in her year of third grade. In the meantime, the viewers see Polly. She is crying because Angelina is moving away. And --in between tears-- she says...!]
[in between tears] That is not fair.
[Polly wipes away a tear.]
[in between tears] I don't want Angelina to move away for her big dream.
[Polly resumes crying. Mrs. Mouseling hugs Polly on her lap.]
[comforts Polly] I know dear.
[The big girls --Angelina, Alice, Gracie, and Vicki-- appear.]
Angelina
Mom? Can we bring a snack?
[Angelina sees her little sister Polly crying. And she --Angelina-- asks Polly...!]
Angelina
[to Polly] Polly? What is the matter?
[Polly turns to Angelina.]
[in between tears --and to Angelina] I am sad, Angelina. Because you are moving away.
Angelina
I am not leaving until next week, Polly. (Until after summer, I mean.)
[crying] But I already miss you.
[to Polly] Polly? Why don't you go to the park with Angelina?
[Mrs. Mouseling lets Polly off her lap so Polly can go to the park.]
[Polly goes with the other girls to the park.]
[to Angelina] Meet you at the park, Angelina.
