[The others --Gracie, Vicki, and Marco-- have heard the word "crickets" from Alice. That is, since Alice was going to read the "pretend class" --Gracie, Vicki, and Marco-- the story "Goldi-Mouse and the Three Crickets". Then --after the trio heard the word "crickets"-- they perform the chant "The Camembert Cheer".]
GVGracie, Vicki, and Marco
[chanting] Pirouette left, pirouette right!
GVGracie, Vicki, and Marco
[chanting] Tap your toes with all your might!
That's not fair! I was going to read my story!
[Gracie, Vicki, and Marco are trying to do the "Camembert Cheer" which was taught by Ms. Mimi on them even though they should know that it is Alice's turn.]
GVGracie, Vicki, and Marco
[still chanting] Crouch like a cricket, then ready, steady, hop!
Camembert kids never--
[But before they can say the last word of their chant --The Camembert Cheer-- which is "Camembert kids never stop!", Alice --who gets to the last straw-- screams out a big, long, "STOP". She says it with her head shaking violently.]
[The others --Vicki, Gracie, and Marco-- stop chanting.]
[The scene cuts to daytime. When morning comes, Mrs. Mouseling turns on the light in the attic and wakes up Angelina, Vicki, and Gracie. She says a big, long "RISE AND SHINE!" in a singy-songy tone. Her "Rise and shine!" command in a singy-songy tone to the girls echoes through the attic window.]
[sing-songy] ♪ RISE AND SHINE (GIRLS)! ♪
[The girls are too tired since they were up all night.]
Oh dear. You girls must have been up very, very late.
Look, I think we broke lamp.
Luckily the lamp isn't broken. But you did break your promise.
I did break my promise. And I am really, truly, sorry.
[The scene then cuts to Angelina's school. Angelina, Gracie, and Vicki get back to school and end up extremely tired since the night before]
[narrating] I am not just sorry...! BUT ALSO SO SLEEPY! Things are not looking very good.
[about the girls being late for class] You girls are late.
AGAngelina, Gracie and Vicki
Sorry, Ms. Mimi.
I hope you have learned your double pirouettes, Angelina.
[To practice for the performance, which is the next day, Ms. Mimi plays the song on the radio.]
[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.]
Mom? Can we bring a snack?
[Angelina sees her little sister Polly crying. And she --Angelina-- asks Polly...!]
[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.
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.]
VVicki
[to Angelina] Meet you at the park, Angelina.
