FIRED UP

But then they overhear the girls talking about cheerleading camp, and Nick hatches a scheme for them to join up: instead of running around in the sweltering heat with a bunch of sweaty guys, they'll be awash in a sea of gorgeous, athletic young women who can all do back flips and the splits.
