-Ooh-ya!

-Ya-ya-ya!

0:00:06 0:00:10
The Amazing Billie can save you!

0:00:10 0:00:12
Welcome to a new year

0:00:12 0:00:14
at Drew Fletcher Academy.

0:00:14 0:00:17
And a new year means new faces.

0:00:17 0:00:19
Like my friend Amani, aka Warrior Princess.

0:00:19 0:00:22
Fitness fanatic Amani transferred to Drew Fletcher earlier this

0:00:22 0:00:26
term, but it's like she has been here torturing us for ever.

0:00:26 0:00:30
Today's tip -

0:00:30 0:00:31
transform any environment into your own personal gym.

0:00:31 0:00:35
Keep fit. Keep healthy.

0:00:38 0:00:41
-This is torture.

-Use it!

0:00:41 0:00:43
And that is Bubs, aka

0:00:43 0:00:45
Sloth Boy.

0:00:45 0:00:48
Hurry up.

0:00:48 0:00:49
Bubs is into loads of great stuff like anime and comics

0:00:49 0:00:53
but don't go thinking he's cool.

0:00:53 0:00:55
-Cos he's really not.

-Wait.

0:00:55 0:00:57
Where am I?

0:00:57 0:00:58
You cut me out of this picture and replaced me with a drawing?

0:00:58 0:01:01
Yeah, sorry about that, Bubs. Not sure how to tell you this,

0:01:01 0:01:03
but you literally have the world's worst photo face.

0:01:03 0:01:06
You either have your eyes closed or are making some really weird

0:01:08 0:01:10
expression in every single one.

0:01:10 0:01:12
That's because you keep taking them when I wasn't ready.

0:01:12 0:01:14
-Take another one now.

-Fine.

0:01:14 0:01:16
Nailed it, Bubs.

0:01:19 0:01:21
Then there's Abi.

0:01:21 0:01:23
Aka The Shooting Star.

0:01:23 0:01:25
Abi is a born performer, and is destined to be world-famous.

0:01:25 0:01:28
I am air.

0:01:29 0:01:31
I am earth. I am death.

0:01:31 0:01:34
Am I real?

0:01:35 0:01:38
I am life.

0:01:38 0:01:41
GIGGLING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:41 0:01:43
-That was brilliant.

-A perfect parody of pretentious actors.

0:01:43 0:01:47
-It was really funny.

-It's not a parody.

0:01:47 0:01:50
It's not meant to be funny.

0:01:50 0:01:53
This is my audition for Astor Rathbone Academy

0:01:53 0:01:56
-Performing Arts course.

-Oh. It's very strong.

0:01:56 0:02:00
That video got her a place at Astor Rathbone.

0:02:01 0:02:03
I will miss her loads, but I'm really happy for her.

0:02:05 0:02:08
And that's it, I think. I feel like I'm missing someone. Oh, yes, me!

0:02:08 0:02:13
I'm Billie, but you can call me The Amazing Billie, cos I am amazing.

0:02:13 0:02:18
Honest. Just asked my sister, Jane.

0:02:18 0:02:20
I have asked my sister to do one of her Just Jane blogs of make-up

0:02:21 0:02:24
tips for me. But really it's just so I can sneak up on her and scare her.

0:02:24 0:02:28
It'll be hilarious.

0:02:28 0:02:30
Boo!

0:02:33 0:02:34
BILLIE SCREAMS

0:02:34 0:02:36
Billie, why are you sneaking up on me?

0:02:36 0:02:37
Why are you a terrifying monster?

0:02:37 0:02:40
I was preparing a Just Jane blog on costume make up for you.

0:02:40 0:02:44
-I thought you would like it.

-It's great. It really worked.

0:02:44 0:02:50
Cos I am actually now dead from fright.

0:02:50 0:02:53
I love drawing comics and making animation.

0:02:53 0:02:57
One of my comics features me,

0:02:57 0:02:58
Amani, Abi and Bubs as a crime-busting super-team.

0:02:58 0:03:01
The League Of Ordinary Heroes.

0:03:01 0:03:04
Attention all students, the following clubs will be

0:03:04 0:03:07
closed indefinitely. It's checkmate chess club.

0:03:07 0:03:12
Final whistle for netball.

0:03:12 0:03:14
And the end for anime club.

0:03:14 0:03:17
-You have got to be joking.

-This is school, Billie, there are no jokes.

0:03:17 0:03:22
But they weren't expecting The Amazing Billie

0:03:22 0:03:25
and she's here to save Drew Fletcher Academy.

0:03:25 0:03:28
I won't let them close our clubs.

0:03:28 0:03:30
Everyone in the school deserves to enjoy the things they love.

0:03:30 0:03:34
I quite liked netball. It was bouncy.

0:03:34 0:03:36
The Amazing Billie has animated superpowers.

0:03:36 0:03:40
Give us your crisps, wingding.

0:03:40 0:03:42
But President Billie will have real powers to make it a school

0:03:43 0:03:47
where everyone is treated fairly.

0:03:47 0:03:49
I promise I will stand up for every single student

0:03:49 0:03:51
at Drew Fletcher.

0:03:51 0:03:53
A vote for me is a vote for all of us.

0:03:53 0:03:55
That's right, I'm running for school president, just like Jane.

0:03:57 0:04:00
Unfortunately, I've got opposition in the shape of Blake.

0:04:00 0:04:03
We all have dreams. My dream is to

0:04:03 0:04:06
make Drew Fletcher Academy awesome again.

0:04:06 0:04:09
I want to build a better future, which is

0:04:09 0:04:11
why I propose a total ban on homework.

0:04:11 0:04:14
Come on, guys, who needs it?

0:04:14 0:04:16
I love this school and I love its canteen. Hey!

0:04:19 0:04:21
I even love all the people in it.

0:04:21 0:04:25
For me, for us, this is home.

0:04:25 0:04:28
Am I right, gang?

0:04:28 0:04:29
I'm always seeking to better myself.

0:04:30 0:04:32
But listen, underneath the policy and pledges,

0:04:34 0:04:37
I'm just a normal guy like you.

0:04:37 0:04:39
I enjoy the simple things like reading a good book.

0:04:39 0:04:42
I care about all of us

0:04:42 0:04:45
and if that means unlimited ice cream at break time,

0:04:45 0:04:47
free helicopter rides to prom, or a school trip to every theme

0:04:47 0:04:51
park in the country, then that, my friends,

0:04:51 0:04:54
is what you'll get.

0:04:54 0:04:55
Ssh!

0:04:55 0:04:58
So remember, if you believe in dreams, vote Blake,

0:04:58 0:05:01
a man of the people.

0:05:01 0:05:03
Together, we'll make Drew Fletcher Academy awesome again.

0:05:03 0:05:08
I'm Blake and I prove this message.

0:05:08 0:05:10
Blake is a bully and a total foot pump.

0:05:10 0:05:13
He made Amani's life a complete misery just cos

0:05:13 0:05:16
she wouldn't go out with him. We can't let him be school president.

0:05:16 0:05:20
I have to win. So, League Of Ordinary Heroes, assemble.

0:05:20 0:05:23
Today on The Adventures of Billie,

0:05:26 0:05:27
-the League Of Ordinary Heroes are on a death-defying mission.

-What?

0:05:27 0:05:30
Death-defying? I don't want to defy death.

0:05:30 0:05:33
I want to go in the complete opposite direction to death.

0:05:33 0:05:36
-I'm building excitement.

-I'm excited.

-Thank you.

0:05:36 0:05:39
Yeah, but no offence, Amani, you think everything is exciting,

0:05:39 0:05:42
-like traffic.

-This is exciting.

0:05:42 0:05:44
We're liberating Boney McBone Face so he can star in my latest film.

0:05:44 0:05:47
That's code for borrowing the biology skeleton for your

0:05:47 0:05:50
-student president campaign, right?

-Exactly.

0:05:50 0:05:52
I'm not the president the school deserves, but I'm the one it needs.

0:05:52 0:05:56
-What?

-I'm Batman. I am.

0:05:56 0:06:00
OK, coast is clear. No-one's in yet.

0:06:02 0:06:04
You go get my boney co-star and I'll set everything up.

0:06:04 0:06:07
-Oh, hi, Celine.

-What are you doing?

-I'm just...

0:06:09 0:06:12
-Never mind, I don't care.

-Ah!

0:06:12 0:06:13
This is Celine. She's, erm...

0:06:13 0:06:16
You'll see.

0:06:16 0:06:18
-You're not using the music room, are you?

-No.

0:06:18 0:06:19
-Because I have it booked, I need to practise for my grade exam.

-No.

-Ssh.

0:06:19 0:06:23
Just want to know about the music room.

0:06:23 0:06:25
Still don't care what you are doing. As you were.

0:06:25 0:06:27
Before you go, can I count on your vote?

0:06:27 0:06:29
I don't know. Can you count at all?

0:06:29 0:06:31
See, that's why everyone should vote for me. Less salty, more sweetie.

0:06:32 0:06:37
Oh, incoming Dixi message.

0:06:37 0:06:39
From a mystery memer.

0:06:39 0:06:41
I do want to win the election, for truth,

0:06:45 0:06:47
justice, and a wide range of club activities.

0:06:47 0:06:50
O-M-D.

0:06:53 0:06:55
It's completely trashed. Papers shredded.

0:06:58 0:07:01
Miss Malik, the music room's locked...

0:07:01 0:07:05
O-M-D.

0:07:05 0:07:08
-That's what I said.

-You too. What have you done?

0:07:08 0:07:13
What a total disaster? Yeah.

0:07:14 0:07:18
I'd like to know who did this to because it wasn't me.

0:07:18 0:07:22
Bubs and Amani, I need you.

0:07:22 0:07:24
Wasabi, we're live at the lockers, but still no sign of Billie.

0:07:24 0:07:28
-We've been waiting for ages.

-Hey, none of that.

0:07:28 0:07:32
-The bell's going to go soon.

-She's not on Dixi or replying to texts.

0:07:32 0:07:35
-The only message I've got is a heart smiley from Alessandro.

-Wow!

0:07:35 0:07:38
A smiley with love hearts. Things must be pretty

0:07:38 0:07:41
serious between you two.

0:07:41 0:07:42
In the meantime, we've kidnapped Napoleon Boneyparts here

0:07:42 0:07:45
-for nothing.

-Hey, have you seen Billie?

0:07:45 0:07:47
Yeah, she's outside Miss Malik's office.

0:07:47 0:07:50
-On the chairs of shame?

-Yeah.

0:07:50 0:07:52
She must've got busted. OK, thanks. Erm, Maria?

0:07:52 0:07:55
It's Emma. We've been in the same history class for two years.

0:07:55 0:07:59
-I-I'm not really into labels.

-Is that your new boyfriend, Amani?

-No.

0:07:59 0:08:04
I've got a real boyfriend and he's got flesh.

0:08:04 0:08:06
Let's ditch Boney before anyone catches us and find Billie.

0:08:06 0:08:09
-What happened? You said we couldn't get in trouble.

-And you didn't.

0:08:09 0:08:12
-I did.

-What are you doing here?

-Someone trashed the office.

0:08:12 0:08:17
-Ripped up everything.

-Oh, my gosh.

-It wasn't me.

0:08:17 0:08:20
I got an anonymous Dixi message telling me to go there.

0:08:20 0:08:23
I was only here to get the music room key. Now Miss Malik

0:08:23 0:08:25
thinks I'm your partner in crime, which is ridiculous. Why would I?

0:08:25 0:08:28
-I don't even like you.

-Yes, I know, you told her that. Many times.

0:08:28 0:08:32
-Get a couple of shots of them, then I'll come in.

-What are you doing?

0:08:32 0:08:36
Campaign broadcast. Speaking out on the important issues.

0:08:36 0:08:40
Our school was rocked this morning by a senseless

0:08:40 0:08:43
act of vandalism by someone who wants to be your president.

0:08:43 0:08:47
-It wasn't me!

-A vote for Billie is a vote for chaos.

0:08:47 0:08:50
A vote for me is a vote for order.

0:08:50 0:08:52
A school where we can all feel safe.

0:08:52 0:08:55
Vote Blake and make Drew Fletcher Academy awesome again.

0:08:55 0:08:58
Good. Got it.

0:08:58 0:09:00
-I'll tag you when I post it.

-You can't put me in your video.

-Can't I?

0:09:01 0:09:05
Let me check. Oh, no, you're wrong. I can.

0:09:05 0:09:08
It's even worse than I thought. Like a tornado burned through there.

0:09:11 0:09:16
If you think because I'm new here I'm going to go easy on you...

0:09:16 0:09:19
It wasn't us. This whole thing is a travesty of justice.

0:09:19 0:09:21
-Look at my phone. I got a message.

-Silencio. I caught you red-handed.

0:09:21 0:09:26
I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.

0:09:26 0:09:29
Everything in there is shredded,

0:09:29 0:09:31
including your exam papers, which means everyone has to resit them.

0:09:31 0:09:37
-No way.

-You two will spend the rest of the week in the Green House.

0:09:37 0:09:40
That's for troubled students. We're not troubled.

0:09:40 0:09:43
-Well, you're in trouble.

-That's not fair. We have rights.

0:09:43 0:09:47
You can't give us a week in the isolation block without

0:09:47 0:09:49
a serious investigation and due process.

0:09:49 0:09:52
Yes, it is serious, so how about

0:09:52 0:09:54
we make it a month in the Green House?

0:09:54 0:09:57
Excuse me, Miss Malik,

0:09:57 0:09:58
but Green House students are also banned from school activities.

0:09:58 0:10:01
-Right?

-Yes, thank you, Blake.

-But I have my grade seven guitar.

0:10:01 0:10:05
And the election! I'm running for president. Against him!

0:10:05 0:10:09
You should have thought of that before you destroyed my office.

0:10:09 0:10:12
Now, the both of you are going to clean it up.

0:10:12 0:10:15
But it was Blake! He set me up!

0:10:15 0:10:17
Bye-bye, Billie. We'll miss you.

0:10:17 0:10:21
Come on, heroes. ,let's go!
