"Cos-played" is the second segment of the fourth episode of the Disney Channel animated series Hailey's On It!
Synopsis[]
When Hailey, Scott and Beta discover that they've been scammed at a Hero Force cosplay event, Hailey finds the hero within her to stand up to the bullies.
Plot[]
Hailey completes her next item which is build a replica of a lighthouse using popsicle sticks. Upon completion, Beta receives a holographic message from the Professor congratulating Hailey on her fiftieth item being completed. As a reward, she hid a special object in one of Hailey's skates (which she begged her parents for, but never used). Hailey finds a small glowing orb, but before the Professor could explain it, Scott, who had eaten all the popsicles, throws up on Beta, ending the message early. Beta informs them that their next item is to go to Hero Con to get an autograph from Hero Force creator Chan Yee and the trio dress up in cosplay to attend the event.
While waiting in line, Hailey, Scott, and Beta overhear a couple of fellow cosplayers, lead by Arlo, that they have three extra VIP tickets and do not know what to do with them. Hailey, Scott and Beta convince them to give it to them for a place in their line and are directed to the VIP line. However, this turns out to be a line to the restroom and Arlo and his group scammed them. Arlo refuses to give them back their spot, so Hailey goes to security, which just so happens to be Arlo's twin brother Atticus. He tells them that since they willingly gave up their place in line and did not pay anything, there is nothing he can do and boots them out for having fake VIP tickets.
Hailey, Scott, and Beta go to the other fans to help them get their place back, but they refuse to have physical confrontations. The three are shoved to the ground by Arlo who breaks Hailey's staff (containing the orb which breaks upon hitting the ground). Hailey refuses to back down until the Professor suddenly arrives along with the real Hero Force, who scares Arlo and his gang away. The Professor reveals that Hero Force is still a big deal in the future and that the people she is with are actually cosplayers too. The orb was to call for her help, but Hailey broke it, making it a one time use. Before leaving, the Professor asks that Hailey get an autograph for her from Chan Yee as well, as she spilled her drink on hers. In the future, the Professor gets the autography, but spills soda on it again.
