The night before the school spelling bee, a nervous girl's best friend quizzes her on tricky words, then cheers for her at the big event.

Tell us what is wrong and we'll fix it.
Okay, the spelling bee is tomorrow. Ready for a practice round?
Ugh... not really. But okay, go ahead and quiz me.
First word: necessary. Like, "Sleep is necessary."
Easy! N-E-C-C-E-S-A-R-Y. Necessary. Next word, please!
Hmm, so close... but that's not quite right.
What? Is it double S, not double C?
Yep. One C, double S. N-E-C-E-S-S-A-R-Y.
Think of a shirt: one collar, two sleeves.
One collar, two sleeves. Oh, I love that!
Next one. Accommodate. "The hotel can accommodate our whole team."
Okay, one C this time. A-C-O-M-M-O-D-A-T-E.
Ha! Now you've got too few. It's double C!
Ugh, seriously? Double C and double M?
Yep, A-C-C-O-M-M-O-D-A-T-E. It accommodates both!
Okay... one more, and then I really need sleep.
Rhythm. Like, "This song has a great rhythm."
Oh no, the one with no real vowels!
Um... R-H-Y-T-H-M. Rhythm. Is that right?
Perfect! See? You're totally ready for tomorrow.
I'm shaking. What if I forget everything?
Hey, you won't. You've practiced for weeks.
Quick, business. Is it B-U-S-Y-N-E-S-S?
No, no! There's no Y. B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S.
Right, the Y turns into an I. Got it!
Josh! I got business, and I spelled it right!
Yes! Only one other kid left. This is the final!
Okay... deep breath. Wish me luck.
You've got this. One collar, two sleeves!
My final word is misspell. M-I-S-S-P-E-L-L. Misspell.
Double S, double L! That's it! She won!
Wait, really? I actually won?
You did! The champion can't misspell misspell!
Ha! Thanks for the shirt trick, coach.
