New Year(Transcript)

Before we start this episode, this episode doesn't take place in April or May like the other episodes so this is a non-cannon episode. This happened on December 2019 before the new years day. Back to the episode, the choir and theatre kids are meeting up in school before counting down at midnight.

George: I can't wait for the count down tonight.

Reece: All of us do, right guys?

Blake: We all are but in Hong Kong where my mum is from, our new year is on the 25th, 26th and 27th of January. Also known as lunar new year. This applies to all Chinese people worldwide.

Zoe: Yeah, because there are so many overseas Chinese all around the world like the UK, Australia, America, Canada, France, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Myanmar, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Ghana, Venezuela, Peru, South Africa, Russia, Italy, Kazakhstan, Brazil, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Laos, India, United Arab Emirates, Panama, Cuba, Madagascar and more.

Jenny: But your father is white.

Brad: We know.

Jenny: Hey, we can get changed for the event, we just need to come back in 10 minutes. Also the theme for this year is countries all around the world.

George: Got it, see you later.

Everyone went home to get changed for the event. Zoe, Brad and Blake are looking for their outfit they would usually wear in new year.

Brad: Mum, where is Blake and I's Zhongshan suit and Zoe's Cheongsam?

Anne: Oh, I kept it in case you need it, since you need it for new year, they're in my closet. Follow me.

Blake, Brad and Zoe followed Anne to her room where she found the things her kids needed.

Anne: Ah, here's for Blake, Brad and Zoe.

Blake: Thank you.

Anne: I believe for you boys, the pants grew to small on you so you can wear it with your pants while for Zoe, you can wear it with your short leggings. It is small on you anyways and it is more of a mini dress.

They got changed and Kenneth saw them in their outfits.

Kenneth: Guys, is it Chinese New Year already?

Zoe: No Kenneth, it's new year, we are going to wear this. Also Jenny said the theme is countries all around the world so we should wear the national costumes of each country.

Kenneth: Why not get a Que?

Blake: Our hair is too short for a Que.

Zoe: Also men cut them off after the boxer revolution in 1911. Also I look like little Nancy Kwan in this outfit.

Anne: Because Nancy Kwan is my favorite actress and you look beautiful just like her. Also this hair clip goes along with the outfit.

Zoe: Thanks mum, but I'm not girly. Even though this dress looks good on me.

Anne: I know, you grew up with boys but just try it on.

Zoe put on the hair clip with flowers on it and it looks good on her. Even though she has short hair her mum frequently cuts off.

Zoe: It looks good on me.

Blake: Guys, it's already 10 minutes, let's head back to school.

Anne: Good luck.

They were walking to school when Troy, George and Reece joined them.

George: Guys, you look so good.

Blake, Brad and Zoe: Thanks.

Zoe: So what country are you supposed to be?

George: The UK, I have to dress like Churchill for some reason.

Zoe: Basically every prime minster and president wears suits, even princes and dukes wear suits here.

Blake: What about you, Reece and Troy?

Troy: Australia.

Reece: France.

Brad: Really Troy? You look like an Aussie World War 2 soldier.

Troy: And you look like a Manchu.

Brad: Manchus don't wear this.

Zoe: Manchu clothing was in the Qing dynasty and Brad here is wearing clothing during the Republican era of China, even though this is a popular fashion choice for festivals all around China and the world nowadays.

George: Also people stopped wearing Manchu clothing and cut off their ques once the Qing dynasty is overthrown.

Brad: Yeah.

Troy: Sorry.

Zoe: It's alright, let's head to school.

The main 6 went back to school and met Jenny who is dressed in a Áo dài, a national dress of her father's country, Vietnam.

Jenny: Guys, you finally came.

Reece: You look nice Jenny.

Jenny: Thanks, this was my mum's dress as a gift from my father. During the Vietnam war, my grandma gave this to my dad just a memory of her and she told him to give it to his daughter when she gets older.

Zoe: That's you, Jenny.

Jenny: Yeah, Jennifer Marie Emma Tran.

Reece: That's your full name?

Jenny: Yeah, my dad is Vietnamese and my mum is French.

Song: Some Things Never Change from Frozen 2

Zoe: #Yes, the wind blows a little bit colder #And we're all getting older #And the clouds are moving on with every autumn breeze #Peter Pumpkin just became fertilizer#

Brad: #And my leaf’s a little sadder and wiser#

Zoe: #That's why I rely on certain certainties #Yes, some things never change #Like the feel of your hand in mine #Some things stay the same#

Zoe and Brad: #Like how we get along just fine#

Zoe: #Like an old stone wall that'll never fall #Some things are always true #Some things never change #Like how I’m holding on tight to you#

George: #The leaves are already falling #Reece, it feels like the future is calling#

Reece: #Are you telling me tonight you're gonna get down on one knee?#

George: #Yeah, but I'm really bad at planning these things out #Like candlelight and pulling of rings out#

Reece: #Maybe you should leave all the romantic stuff to me#

George: #Yeah, some things never change #Like the love that I feel for her #Some things stay the same #Like how reindeers are easier #But if I commit and I go for it #I'll know what to say and do #Right?#

Reece: #Some things never change#

George: #Sven, the pressure is all on you#

Jenny: #The winds are restless #Could that be why I'm hearing this call? #Is something coming? #I'm not sure I want things to change at all #These days are precious #Can't let them slip away #I can't freeze this moment #But I can still go out and seize this day#

All: #Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah #The wind blows a little bit colder#

Brad: #And you all look a little bit older#

Zoe: #It’s time to count our blessings#

Zoe and George: #Beneath an autumn sky#

All: #We’re always living in kingdom aplenty #That stands for the good and the many#

Jenny: #And I promise you the flag of the UK will always fly#

Zoe: #Our flag will always fly#

All: #Our flag will always fly #Our flag will always fly #Some things never change #Turn around and the time has flown #Some things stay the same #Though the future remains unknown #May our good luck last #May our past be past #Time's moving fast, it’s true #Some things never change#

Zoe: #And I'm holding on tight to you#

Jenny: #Holding on tight to you#

Brad: #Holding on tight to you

George: #Holding on tight to you#

Zoe: #I'm holding on tight to you#

Then the other choir and theatre kids met up.

Shawn: Hey guys.

Everyone: Hey.

Jenny: So who are you guys supposed to be?

Connor: Scotland, I look ridiculous in this kilt.

Jenny: You can get changed after the event.

Zoe: It looks like Kenneth wearing my ballet suit.

James: The UK, I'm supposed to dress like a Beatle.

George: They do wear suits during their days.

Tristan: Also the UK.

Luke: Australia, do they wear these in World War 2?

Everyone: Yes.

Luke: Yeah cuz Ashton and Michael are also wearing it.

Zoe: What about Calum?

Calum: New Zealand, do I look naked under this flax skirt?

Jenny: Are you wearing something underneath?

Calum: A tank top, pants and shoes?

Jenny: Good. What about you, Shawn?

Shawn: Canada, I know this doesn't look like a national costume but this is basically what everyone in Alberta wear, but I'm from Ontario.

Jenny: What about you, theatre kids?

Kandace: South Korea, I'm wearing a Hanbok.

Zoe: We wore a hanbok before when we went to South Korea.

Kandace: You look nice, Zoe and can you help me style my hair?

Zoe: Thank you and sure, maybe later.

Raphael: China, what Blake and Brad are wearing, I look like Mao Zedong in this outfit.

Zoe: He wears black and you're wearing red.

Sheryl: Also China, like Zoe.

Yuto: Japan, I'm Yu-Gi-Oh.

Aidan: My country, America, I'm John F. Kennedy, he is from Massachusetts like me. And he's also Catholic.

Emily: Wales.

Molly: Japan, I'm Ayano Aishi from Yandere Simulator.

Zoe: Dude, I played that game before.

Thaiyo: China.

Oakley: Malaysia, where my mum is from.

Alicia: Italy.

Spencer: America.

Poe: South Korea, supposed to be North Korea because my dad was a refugee.

Raphael: At least you're not Kim Jong-Un.

Anya: Russia, not Soviet Russia.

Zoe: It's okay, it collapsed in 1991 anyways.

Ankit: India

Danna: Mexico.

Jenny: Great, now let's practice with the countdown.

They went to the stage to practice the countdown. It is pretty easy, as so you think.

Everyone: 10! 9! 8! 8! 8!

Jenny: Stop!

Luke: What's going on?

Calum: Why can't I count down.

Zoe: That's weird, someone must be the countdown crook.

George: I dunno who could it be.

That's when Annika and her gang showed up. They look like they are dressed as Lolita fashion instead of what Jenny required everyone to wear.

Annika: Looking for the countdown crook eh? You can't find him or her because you'll be stuck counting down forever.

Everyone: What?

Reece: We've gotta tell which one is the countdown crook. And what is the cause or who.

Zoe: To the library.

Annika: You aren't going anywhere yet, Calum strip off, you look naked under that outfit.

Jenny: He is wearing something underneath, also you don't need that right now.

Calum: Thank goodness.

Calum took off his flax skirt revealing he is really wearing a tank top and his jeans and shoes he has been wearing everyday. They went to the library and to the thinking space.

Zoe: So someone has been the countdown crook so in my suspicions, I'd say it was Annika.

Emily: Why did you say that?

Zoe: So before we confirm this, we need to get records to find if she really is the crook. And I need 2 spies to do so, I believe George and I could do this. We're small after all, right mate?

George: Yeah.

Zoe: Let's go, I know where they've been hanging out. You lot stay there.

Zoe and George headed to the hallways and into the Year 11B room. They were spying on Annika and among Zoe's suspicions, she is the countdown crook.

Zoe: George, look.

Annika: Okay, this is how they will countdown, they will repeat numbers instead of doing it properly like 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.

George: We've gotta tell the others.

The 2 went back to the library and told the others about Zoe's suspicions.

Zoe and George: Annika is the countdown crook!

Everyone: What?

Jenny: I can't just go down their and embarrass myself in front of literally everyone. What are we going to do?

Zoe: I have an invention where we can turn everything back to normal again. I called it, the anti-countdown crook machine. Ready? Go!

With a push of a button, everyone can count down again but not Annika. After that, Zoe asked if anyone could count down.

Zoe: Can any of you count down?

Everyone: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

Zoe: Jolly good, let's hit the stage.

The choir and theatre kids hit the stage as they started counting down.

Everyone: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Happy New Year!

Jenny: Thank you!

After the performance, the choir and theatre kids went off stage. Zoe and George started dancing together while the others did their thing.

Zoe: It feels so good being together.

George: I know, we shouldn't do anything romantic because we're too young for that.

Zoe: I know.

Song: Someday Reprise from Zombies 2

George: #You're from the perfect paradise#

Zoe: #Ooh#

George: #And I'm living on the darker side#

Zoe: #Ooh, I had a feeling #If you got to know me#

George: #Right from the start, you caught my eye #And something inside me came to life#

Zoe: #Ooh, I've got a feeling #Now you really know me#

Both: #Someday#

Zoe: #This could be, this could be ordinary#

Both: #Someday #Could we be something extraordinary?#

George: #You and me side-by-side#

Both: #Out in the broad daylight#

Zoe: #If they laugh,#

Both: #we'll say #We're gonna be someday#

Zoe: #Someday, someday#

Both: #We're gonna be someday#

Zoe: #Someday,#

Both: #someday #We're gonna be someday# (giggles)
