SYNOPSIS:

The Power of Dreams centers on 18 year old Alegra Cruise, she is a Catholic girl from Decatur, Alabama who has an extraordinary dream the night before she starts at North Alabama University and she is lucky enough to pass for about 13/14 so gets mistaken for a high schooler all the time.

She is now graduated high school and is heading to NAU to spend her next 4 years and gain BTEC's and Degrees, she soon learns she is to be joined there by her rebellious best friend Daisy who is like the complete opposite of Alegra.

Madison, captain of the cheerleading squad gets to look after Alegra’s and influences her to tryout for the squad but Alegra is very doubtful on how controversial it could get.

Madison witnesses an accident and when she tells Alegra about it, she admits to dreaming the exact incident the night before.

Daisy feels this could be rather useful in the prospect of gaining popularity at the biggest state university but Alegra feels it was just a fluke and nothing worth exploring further.

Daisy had just returned from Panama and missed Alegra’s birthday, this meant Alegra could spend more time planning her birthday party and she wants to make no exceptions and impress her new found friends.

Daisy meets cute guy Nigel and they seem to get on like a house on fire but Daisy doesn’t want to jump into anything as she’s only been there 5 minutes.

Troy and Romeo explain how Madison may look like a perfect role model but she is terrible at education and mainly focuses her efforts on sport.

There is a debate on religion versus science and Alegra admits that the Discovery channel makes a lot of its history programmes up but Troy and Romeo say they find them useful.

Alegra announced that she questioned Stephen Hawking about science’s lies but he sent her back a blank e-mail.

Daisy is upset about how easily Madison gets her own way and tries to convince Nigel that her best friend should stay well clear of sport.

Alegra announces to Madison that she never has seen a game of American football, Baseball or Basketball and prefers Show jumping or getting involved with animals.

Daisy tries to get Alegra interested in Netball as she had a bit of talent in it in high school but Alegra has made her mind up that she is going to tryouts and make the cheerleading squad.

Alegra announces that she was in the Miss Alabama’s outstanding teen pageant over the summer and Madison is surprised Alegra didn’t win.

Troy and Romeo think Madison’s plans may be over the top but she’s made such successful students to do great things in the past so why should she loose her touch now.

Alegra and Daisy visit the library and are allowed to take a book out, Alegra wants to learn more about cheerleading but when she sees a picture of a girl showing a midriff she realises there’s no way she can get round it and her deeply religious mother would never see a reason behind joining the squad.

They plan a trip to the mall so they can get new outfits for Alegra’s birthday party and to give her a more grown-up approach from high school

Alegra goes and asks her mothers permission in order to let Madison come to the ranch and teach her a routine that would get her through tryouts with no problem.

Daisy talks on the bus about how difficult she’ll find that evening’s Horse riding activity but Alegra tells her that over time she will improve.

Alegra announces that her mother is pleased she has a distraction from never seeing her father and Nigel gets invited to the upcoming party.
