So what do you think, you like it?
Not like. Love!

I can't believe your mom let you get this.
Oh, she has no idea. I traded in my bike.
That, plus the money I made cat-sitting for the Wadmans.
Hold on, back up.
You really think she'll let you keep this thing?
The woman wouldn't let you
within 10 feet of a bouncy castle.
All of that changes as of tomorrow.
What happens tomorrow?
I turn 13.
I become a teenager.
It means I get to rebel.
Okay. Yeah, sure. Do that.
But start with something simple.
You know, some black nail polish.
Or part your hair...
(whispering) on the other side.
Cyrus! The girl wants to up her game!
Don't discourage her.
I'm not trying to up my game.
I'm just tired of hearing "no" every time I ask for something,
so this time, I just didn't ask.
Girl: Well, here we are. Still feelin' brave?
Um...
I'm impressed. We made it almost to your driveway...
before you chickened out.
I'm not chickening out.
I could hide it in my garage.
Cyrus, would you?
That'd be great.
Bock-bock-bock.
Whoa. Now that's the real deal.
I like yours better.
-Who is that? -Do you know anyone who--
Bex?
Bex!
Hey, Andiman.
(both laughing)
You guys, it's my sister!
What are you doing here?
What do you mean? I couldn't miss your birthday,
which, don't say it, I know I've missed most of them.
I don't care! You're here now.
Uh, hi. I don't know if you remember me?
Cyrus. Yeah, of course.
-Are those your wheels? -Oh. Uh...
Yeah! Totally.
Yeah, full-throttle outlaw, kissing asphalt on my hog...
Those are all the biker words I know.
And, Buffy. Wow, you're like, turning into the real Buffy.
I am a real Buffy.
And I would prefer not being compared to a fictional vampire slayer
on a television show from the last century.
Although, I recently started watching it, and it's pretty good.
(giggling) So does Mom know you're here?
I want it to be a surprise.
Oh. You know she hates surprises.
Yeah! So, will you come with me?
-Yeah! -And tell her.
Okay. Come on.
Dad! Look who came home for my birthday!
-Bex! -Hi, Dad!
What a wonderful surprise.
Oh... I'm so happy.
-Me, too. -Celia, look who's here!
I see.
Hi, Mom.
Rebecca. You look well.
Thanks.
So do you.
How long will you be staying?
Okay, so much for the pleasantries, huh?
Dad, can you brace Mom, and give her something to grab?
I will be staying a while,
'cause I'm... moving back home.
-Really? Really? -Yeah, really.
-If that's okay. -Of course it's okay. It's your home, too.
Except your room is now an office/home gym,
and we sold all your toe rings at a garage sale.
We have a pull-out couch, and you can stay for as long as you want.
So my plan is, is to get a job, and find a place to live.
I'm really ready to get my life together.
Hmm. Why now?
-Well, I don't want this one to grow up before I do. -(laughing)
Too late for that.
Wow!
Great dramatic exit, Mom.
-You still got it. -(sighs)
-Hey. You busy? -Hi.
No, just messing around.
Oh. What's this?
It's a straw and a shoelace.
Seriously?
You just turned a straw and a shoelace into a bracelet.
Yeah. Look at this.
Anything can be a bracelet.
Comic books.
Whoa...
-Soda tabs. -(laughs)
And I think this was my old retainer.
Which, if Mom asks, I'm still wearing at night.
(laughs) What? What do you do?
You just take stuff out of the trash?
Hello, carbon footprint, future generations.
And bonus, it drives Mom crazy.
Yeah, I'll bet.
Can I have this?
No, let me make you something special.
No, this is special. I love it.
-(makes shooting noise) -(Andi laughs)
Did you make this, too?
Yeah, out of the scarves you sent me.
Andi...
Look. Mardi Gras, the Texas State Fair,
that music festival where people supposedly get naked.
They do?
(gasps) Did you?
What? No, come on. You know me better than that.
I really don't.
That's true. You don't.
But I can fix that.
Don't move. I'll be right back.
Okay.
(panting)
No, no, no, no, no, no!
Andi never sees what's inside this box.
It's just pictures.
They're not just pictures.
It's secrets.
Things she doesn't need to see or know.
Okay, Mom. I won't show her the box.
Thank you.
Okay.
This is like my diary. You can't tell anyone anything you see in here.
-Okay? -Okay.
-You ready? -Uh-huh.
What about... this guy?
Oh! Fletcher. He's a pirate, so I don't see him very often.
-A pirate? -I'm kidding. He's not a pirate.
But he does have a boat, has a pet bird, so...
-So pretty close. -(both laughing)
Your life looks so amazing.
Uh, so does yours.
Which part? The stuff I'm not allowed to do?
The stuff I'm not allowed to eat? Or the stuff I'm not allowed to wear?
-Is it that bad? -It'll be better with you here.
-We'll hang out. -It'll be fun!
-Yeah. -Maybe not Mardi-Gras- music-festival fun,
but we can get pizza!
Well, sometimes.
When Dad's in charge.
You know what? I'm already having fun.
You made me a bracelet. I like your friends.
I like your room.
Ooh, this guy looks like fun.
-Jonah Beck. -You didn't see that.
-Oh, no? -And I have homework.
-Okay, cool. Andi, calm down. -Yeah, I'm calm! Okay?
Okay, okay. I'll go unpack.
-Yeah, you should do that. -Enjoy your picture of Jonah Beck.
Stop!
Forgot my box.
Right.
-Bye. -(door closes)
You didn't have to get me a birthday present.
Well, I'm not sure it's gonna top what Mom got you,
The Unabridged History of Math.
Oh, no, wait. It is gonna top that.
Here it comes.
(whispers) It's Jonah Beck.
♪ You like the way you smile ♪
♪ When you don't have to try ♪
(stammers) What did you do? What's going on?
He's gonna teach you how to play Frisbee.
I got you a lesson, that's your present.
-No. No. -Yeah! Yeah.
-No. -Just relax.
-No. -Great. Just like that, except the exact opposite.
Cool, you're great.
-Hi, you're Jonah? -Yep.
-I'm Bex, and this is your student, Andi.
Dude, I know you! You go to Jefferson, right?
(stammers) I...
Yeah, she does.
Some people never forget a face. I never forget a foot.
That should come in marginally useful.
What do you say? You ready to hurl?
Is it that obvious?

You're joining the team! Say yes! Right now!
Say it, yes, I'm joining the team.
-What team? -The Ultimate Frisbee team! Der, I'm the captain!
I know, der, but that's a sport. I don't play sports.
I'm an indoor person.
What if you're really an outdoor person?
I think I would've heard.
Listen, you're good at this.
-I am? -Come on, check it out.
We got practice tomorrow after school.
You like this. I know you do.
I do. I like you.
It! I like it, the Frisbee!
Yeah, just delete what I said before.
-Amber Alert. Amber Alert. -Stop...
This is Amber.
His girlfriend.
-Hi. -Hi. Nice to meet you.
You guys are a cute couple, heh...
You don't go to Jefferson, 'cause I would remember that.
I go to Grant.
Oh, high school. You're in high school.
I love that you have groupies.
I have to go.
And by the way, Amber Alerts are for kidnapped children,
so kind of terrifying, as opposed to cute.
Just something to... think about.
Andi... Andi! Wait up!
Hey! What's goin' on?
Why did you do this to me?
-Do what? What did I do? -This! This whole thing.
I just made an epic fool of myself.
Uh, not the part that I saw.
You were amazing.
-And Jonah Beck-- -Has a girlfriend!
Who's in high school!
Did you see her?
Don't look now!
What? She's like a pretty girl. She's nothing. She's not you.
That's right, she's here,
whereas I am-- Move your foot.
...there.
Where you were just stepping on.
Okay, stop. You obviously can't see yourself.
But you can?
Okay.
You were raised to think you have to be perfect,
but you don't.
If you made a fool of yourself, you know what? That's good.
Good? It wasn't good.
-Trust me. -That's the point.
You need moments like these. They're the moments you remember.
They're the moments you learn from. They become your funny stories
you tell about yourself when you meet someone new.
That's you! That's not me!
Not yet. I'm tryin' to help you!
I don't need your help!
All I'm saying, is that I've been there, and I know how you feel.
No, you don't!
I'm not like you.
I'm not cool or adventurous.
I'm not one of those people in your memory box.
Those are the people you know.
I'm just a girl you send scarves to!
(sighs)
(phone chimes)
(sighs)
(door opens, closes)
Bex?
Oh, great. I woke you.
This has been a banner day.
Don't worry, I'm leaving first thing in the morning.
No, Bex, don't go, I don't want you to.
I take back what I said, every word of it.
-You don't have to. -But can I?
Please, because you were right. These are the moments I'll remember.
Jonah Beck texted me.
I don't even know how he has my number.
Don't be mad, but I... gave it to him.
-You did? -But he asked for it, though.
He did? Jonah Beck asked for my number?
That's an amazing sentence. I need to say it again.
Jonah Beck asked for my number.
I'm just glad you're happy.
So you'll stay!
I can't.
Yeah, you can. Everything's okay.
Give me a minute and it won't be.
"These are the moments you'll remember?"
I'm just quoting you.
Well, I've made too many mistakes.
When?
Today.
No, you didn't, that's what I'm trying to tell you.
And yesterday, and the day before that...
and every single day of your life.
What are you talking about?
You're scaring me.
You should be scared.
Do you think that you're not in here?
You are.
Is that you?
And... that's you.
Andi... I'm not your sister.
I'm your mother.
You're my what?
Your mother. I'm your mother.
Mom!
No, please, she's gonna be so mad.
(stammers) She says she's my mother!
-Ham! -So this is all true?
-You had no right! -It just slipped out!
-What's goin' on? -She knows!
My brain feels like it's melting!
-How does she know? -I told her.
You had no right.
You don't get to be upset! You don't get to be upset!
Nobody here gets to be upset but me!
Because you all have been lying to me
for my whole life!
I can't be here right now.
-Andi-- -No, I should be the one.
No, please, Mom. It's my job now.
We knew this day had to come.
No. I didn't! I didn't know today was the day
I was gonna lose my daughter!
I'm standing right in front of you.
Not you!
Celia, this has happened, we need to accept that.
And figure out how to make it work.
(crickets chirring)
(knocking on door)
Please... don't touch anything.
Are these my CDs?
Kinda. Sorry.
Yeah, I'm real torn up I can't listen to Nickelback anymore.
Andi... I'm so, so sorry--
Stop! I can't, it's too weird.
When I look at you, I see my cool sister out in the world,
having adventures on her motorcycle.
But that's not who you are.
You're my mother...
who abandoned me.
That's not what happened.
-Do you wanna know what happened? -No.
Not right now.
Whenever you're ready, I'll tell you everything,
whatever you wanna know.
Just... I wanna think about my text from Jonah for a while.
That's a great idea.
You probably hate me. You probably should hate me.
But I'll always love you, and I always have.
And you have that, whether you want it or not.
Hey, Cyrus.
Hey, hey. Can you say, "Nice bike, Cyrus"?
Nope.
Thanks, Buffy. I think it's a nice bike, too.
You know what we bikers say: Four wheels
move the body, but two wheels move the soul.
You brought the bike. Thanks.
(coughs) I'm running out of air.
(breathing heavily)
You ready to take off the training wheels?
Um, I'm not even sure I'm keeping it.
Did something happen on your birthday?
I tried calling you all day.
Yeah, me, too. No answer.
Yeah, something happened, something really, really big.
-Are you gonna tell us? -I can't just blurt it out right here.
-Why not? -Buffy!
Are you not listening?
She's a different person. Something really, really big happened.
We know what you're trying to tell us. You don't need to spell it out.
Trust me, you don't.
-(school bell ringing) -I gotta go. It's my first period.
-Exactly. -What?
He's crazy.
Dude, you came!
I'm still not sure about this.
It's okay. I am.
Andiman, how'd you come up with that?
Isn't that what everyone calls you?
Just... one person.
Now it's two.

You like it?
No, I don't.
It's super safe, it only goes like 12 miles an hour.
Really? Hmm. Still, no.
Well, I wish you didn't feel that way, but... I'm keeping it.
Andi, I know you feel your world's been turned upside down,
but I'm still in your life.
Everything works just like it always has.
Nothing has changed.
Sure. Nothing's changed... Grandma.
Grand... ma...?
Nope. No...
(knocking on door)
Remember when you said you wanted to make me something special?
Is that offer still good?
Sure, but I'm... kinda busy.
No rush, whenever. I just, um...
I wanted to be able to wear... this again.
You saved it.
This one, too.
Was this mine?
Can I see that picture again, of us?
Wait, you have pictures of all your boyfriends in here?
Pretty much.
Which one's my dad?
Hey! Who wants pizza, huh?
You said you would tell me everything when I'm ready.
I know, I did, it's just that you're not--
I'm not ready.
Just let me know when you are.
Andi: Next, on Andi Mack ...
Cyrus, that's private!
Your sister has a secret baby?
Yeah, she-- she-- she does.
