Middle School Musical
by Joe San Agustin

(Fade in to: The Hallway. Ed and Kent are wandering around.)

Ed's Inner Monologue: It's thrusday and we have Stage Crew for our school's production of Grease. We're wandering around while trying to get this piece of woodwork to the stage.
Kent: I don't think we should be wandering around.
Ed: We're not. We're delivering this woodwork to the stage.
Kent: It's a block of wood!
Ed: Shut up!

(They walk into the stage room. The Cast of Grease are practicing one of their songs. After, Kent starts sarcastically clapping.)

Kent: Awesome, just awesome.
Ed: Most excellent.
Student: You think you're better than us?

(The cast are now in front of them.)

Ed: Whoa.
Kent: Not at all. Not at all Jake Cherry, kid from Night at the Museum who now goes to our school.
Jake: So we're better than you?
Kent: I never said that. I just think we're all good in singing.
Ed: I'm not. I just think musicals are pointless.
Kent: Shut up!
Ed: I mean, who would want to talk, break into song, than talk again? It's just too much singing!
Kent: Shut up Ed!
Ed: No, I will not shut up! I have a right to express my opinion about musicals!
Kent: Yeah but do you have to say it in front of the cast of a musical?
Ed: Yes I do!
Kent: Shut up Ed!

(The entire chorus suddenly appears.)

Bebe: We just got here. We heard what he said about too much singing. We have chorus until 5!
Jake: And we have practice until 7!
Kent: Ohai entire chorus who is coincidentally in the room next to this room and is having their own show this thursday.
Ed: You have to stop doing that.
Kent: Yes, I know.
Jake: Let's make a bet. This whole show cast will have a musical episode that spans one week. If you crack, saying that musicals aren't pointless, we will post it all over the internet.
Ed: I accept your challenge, and we will not crack.
Bebe: To signal when you shall sing a song, one of us will ring a bell.
Kent: Why is that whenever we ge into bets that span a week it's from something you say?
Ed: I'm just awesome like that.
Jake: We'll start you off. Hit it!

(Bebe rings a bell.)
(The cast and chorus are magically on the stage. They start singing "Sing" by The Carpenters.)

Kent: Nonononnonononononono.
Ed: Try something modern.
Bebe: Got it!

(They start singing "Sing" by My Chemical Romance.)

Kent: There we go.

(The intro plays.)
(Fade out.)
(Fade in to: The bus. We hear the ringing of a bell. The song plays as "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears. Kent sings it.)
(He tries to get Bebe's attention while singing the song.)

Bebe: Go away!

(She hits him and walks away. Ed walks up to Kent.)

Ed: I told ya this musical thing was stupid.
Kent: I happen to like musicals.
Ed: Probably shoulda seen that one coming.
Kent: You should've. Either way, I hate mondays nonetheless.

(Gail walks up to Kent and Ed.)

Gail: I'm going with the stereotypical Asian accent today!
Kent: Why?

(She runs away.)


8D5: Homeroom!
Kent: See ya later.
Ed: Bye!
Ed's Inner Monologue: The only reason I hate musicals is because it's one song, very short dialogue, then another song, more very short dialogue, repeat.

(Fade to: Lunch.)

Denzel: It's calmer here now that Sheldon moved out of the table.
Tim: Yup.
Kent: I feel more calm and mellower.
Brian: Yeah right.

(Sheldon walks up to them.)

Sheldon: Hi guys! I'm back!
Denzel: Why are you here?
Brian: No one wants you here!
Tim: Leave you Mexican! Border control!
Sheldon: I'm Cuban! And I forgive you but if you don't want me here, fine! I'm sitting with Ed!

(Sheldon walks away.)

Tim: He always goes to Ed! He's a terrorist!
Kent: That's kind of racist.
Tim: I don't care!

(Jake walks by and rings a bell.)

Kent: Get outta here!

(Jake runs away as the music starts.)

Tim: What was that all about?
Kent: We made a bet with the cast of Grease, now this whole week is a musical. If anyone in the cast and/or chorus rings a bell, we have to sing.
Hutton: Do we have to?
Kent: Yes.

(Kent starts to sing "Everybody's a Little Bit Racist" from Avenue Q)
8D2: Table 11 go get your lunch.
Kent: Nevermind.

(They go up to get their food)
(Fade to: Kent's house. Mario, Ed, Kent, Reed, and Cindy are watching TV.)

Reed: Where are your brother and sisters?
Kent: Ben and Ren are upstairs on their computers with Krypto and Gail is out.
Mario: I just noticed this but why are there 2 rooms and 4 kids and one room has one bed while the other has a bunkbed?
Kent: Me and Gail share a room and I sleep in the closet.
Ed: Now you really are Harry Potter!
Kent: What do you mean?
Cindy: You got the the hair, the glasses, the many scars, and the fact that you sleep in the closet!
Kent: You know what I haven't seen yet?
Ed: What?
Reed: I know.
Cindy: What?
Mario: You two kissing!
Ed: I can easily explain that. Our actors aren't dating in real life so we can't kiss. We have had our first kiss offscreen though.
Reed: I remember my first kiss.
Kent: You don't even have a girlfriend!
Reed: Yrah I do she's in highschool.
MArio: Suree. My first kiss was good.
Kent: Am I the only one here who's never had his first kiss?
Cindy: Yep.
Ed: Yeah pretty much.

(The phone rings and Kent answers it.)

Kent: Hello? Hi Bebe. Okayy.

(He puts it on speaker and Bebe rings a bell.)

Ed: Oh no!
Kent: What song now?
Reed: What do you mean?
ED: I made a bet with the Grease cast and the school chorus relating to a musical. Now this whole week is a musical.
Cindy: So what song do we sing?
Mario: I know.

(Mario, Ed, Reed, and Cindy sing "My First Kiss" by 3OH!3 and Ke$ha.)

Ed: OOh Dick Van Dyke is on!
Kent: What?
Announcer: And now The Dick Van Dyke Show! Starring Dick Van Dyke!

(The Dick and Dyke is censored out.)

Kent: What?
Cindy: I know what this calls for.
Ed: A song! Bebe ring that bell like it's a dick!

(dick is bleeped out. Ben is revealed to be playing the bleep sound effect on his computer.)

Ben: Oops, sorry.
Ed: Anyways, Bebe ring that bell! It's time for a song!
Kent: What?

(Bebe rings the bell again and the scene cuts to school.)
(Ed, Kent, and Sheldon sing "The Freakin FCC" by Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, and Stewie Griffin.)

Bebe: Out of all the songs you would sing, you sing that song.
Kent: I did not choose to sing that song, Ed did, which is surprising since he hates musicals, and why are you copying my sarcastic comments?
Bebe: I don't know.
Kent: Anyways, did you check Cindy's facebook last night?
Bebe: Yeah and you don't have a facebook so how would you know?
Kent: She was logged on at my house last night.
Bebe: Oh. What happened?

(Kent whispers in her ear.)

Bebe: You're kidding!
Kent: Nope.
Bebe: Should I?
Kent: No, don't tell Ed.
Bebe: Fine.
Kent: I just realized that this is the few times we talk like friends.
Bebe: What about the other times.
Kent: You hit me or shun me.
Bebe: I do not!
Kent: I try to be nice to you but you always be mean to me.
Bebe: I'm taking out the bell.

(Kent sings "Grace Kelly" by Mika.)

Bebe: I love Mika.
Kent: You're welcome.
Ed's Inner Monologue: Why was I urged to sing a song when the FCC censored The Dick Van Dyke Show?
Kent: I don't know.
Gail: Ed!
Ed: What?!
Gail: I was at a party last night and I'm soo hyper now!
Ed: And why are you telling me this?
Gail: Why not? And I can make you happy.
Ed: But I'm not sad.
Gail: You are distraught.
Ed: What does that mean?
Gail: Deeply upset and agitaited.
Ed: I'm more in a confuzzled mood. That's my catchphrase now. "I'm more in a blank mood."
Gail: You're still in a semi-negative, semi-positive mood. TJ ring that bell!
TJ: Okay.
Ed: TJ's a girl's name?
TJ: It stands for Thumbelina Jolene.
Ed: Sounds a bit fairytale.
TJ: Why do you think I like to be called TJ?

(She rings the bell.)
(She sings "Firework" by Katy Perry.)

Ed: Hey thanks, that was uplifting! I feel much happier now!
Gail: I'm good like that.

(Kent walks by.)

Kent: My line.
Gail: Shut up!

(Fade to: Lunch. Ed is sitting down. Sheldon runs up to Ed.)

Sheldon: Ed!
Ed: What?! Why is everyone screaming my name today?
Sheldon: Did you hear?
Kent: Ed!
Ed: What?! I'm in a pissed off mood now. Did I miss something?

(Kent runs and covers Sheldon's mouth.)

Kent: Ed, don't listen to a word he says!
Ed: I never listen to anyone.
Kent: You just listened to me.
Ed: What?
Kent: Nevermind.
Ed: What don't you want me to hear out of Sheldon's mouth?

(Sheldon licks Kent's hand.)

Kent: EWWWWW! HE LICKED MY HAND!
Sheldon: Did you see Cindy's relationship status?
Ed: No, I just know that her status is that Cindy Walberg is in a relationship with Ed Nygma.
Sheldon: Her status is single!
Ed: What? How do you know? You don't have a facebook!
Sheldon: I'm getting one tonight. Anyway, I heard it from Mario who heard it from Reed who heard it from Kenny who heard it from Denzel who heard it from Tim who heard it from Justin who heard it from Jill who heard it from Pauline who heard it from TJ who heard it from Gail who heard it from Pete who heard it from Didi who heard it from Bebe who heard it from Kent when Cindy was on facebook at his house last night! (He gasps.) Man that was a mouthful!
Ed: You knew about this and didn't tell me?
Kent: I didn't want to tell you. You might get crushed.
Ed: I'm crushed either way!
Kent: Tell her about how you feel and tell her to change her status.
Ed: On it.

(He gets up but Kent puts him down.)

Kent: Not now.
Ed: Then when?
Sheldon: After school!
Ed: Right.

(Fade to: Geick Park. Ed runs up to Cindy.)

Ed: Cindy!
Cindy: AHH! What?
Ed: I heard from a few birdies that you haven't changed your status to in a relationship.
Cindy: So? You didn't change your status.
Ed: I did 2 months ago after we got home from the police from the warehouse explosion.
Cindy: Oh. Well what's the worse that can happen?

(They hear the ringing of a bell.)

Ed: That.

(Jake, Sitka, Mitch Howard, and Mitch DeRita sing "Boyfriend" by BTR)

Ed: That was amazing!
Cindy: Fantastic!
Jake: That was for you Cindy. Will you be my girlfriend?
Cindy: No I'm with him.

(Ed looks around. Cindy slaps his stomach.)

Cindy: It's you stupid.
Ed: Oh. Hey wait! Three Mitches, you know I'm dating her!
Sitka: He asked if we could be back up dancers/singers.
Ed: It was good singing.
Howard: Thank you.
Jake: How are you dating him? Your facebook status says that you're single!
Cindy: I'm changing it soon!
Ed: Wait why soon?
Cindy: I don't own a smartphone.
Ed: Oh. Hey can you guys leave? I want to talk to her alone.
Jake: Okay.

(They leave.)

Ed: Look, Cindy.
Cindy: Yeah?
Ed: I'm in an uptight mood, so since no one told me first, I think we should take some time off to think about our situations right now.
Cindy: You're breaking up with me?
Ed: Not entirely. You see, taking some time off means that we're breaking up but we'll still be together.
Cindy: Alright, where's Kent?
Ed: What do you mean?
Cindy: That sounds like something he would say.
Ed: What I can't have philisophical moments now and then?
Cindy: Well, if you want some time off, I'll think about our situations.
Ed: Good. It's a deal then?
Cindy: Deal.

(They shake hands.)
(Fade to: Kent's house. Kent, Ben, Ren, and Gail are doing homework.)

Kent: So Ben, who are you thinking about?
Ben: I'm not thinking about anyone.
Kent: Yeah you are. You have that I'm-thinking-about-someone look on your face.
Ben: Fine. I'm thinking about Mary Jane.
KEnt: Watson?
Ben: No Mary Jane Perjelli. I like her but I have no idea how to tell her.
Ren: Seranade her.
Ben: With what song?
Kent: Gail, are you gonna help him out?
Gail: What? I can't hear you! I'm depressed so I'm listening to Justin Bieber songs!
Kent: That's my thing!

(She turns up the volume. "Somebody to Love" by Justin Bieber plays.)

Ben: I know what song to sing!
Kent: Hold on there. Wait for tomorrow.

(Fade to: Wednesday. Kent, Ed, and Ben get off the bus.)

Ben: Well, I'm off to go seranade the girl I like.
Kent: But what if she's not a

(Ben runs away.)

Kent: Bieber fan.

(Cut to: The hallway.)

Ben: Hit it.

(Someone rings a bell.)
(Ben sings "Somebody to Love" by Justin Bieber.)

Mary Jane: That was amazing, nut I'm not a Bieber fan and I'm with someone too.
Ben: Who is it?
Mary Jane: Him.

(She points to Johnny Geradelli.)
(The intro music to Cee Lo Green's "Forget You" comes up. Before Ben can open his mouth, Kent walk by.)

Kent: No, don't ruin this song.

(Fade to: Lunch. Mario, Reed, and Kent are at Ed's table.)

Ed: I've made my desicion.
Reed: What is it?
Ed: I'm breaking up with her.
Mario: What?
Ed: I even have it planned out.

(Fantasy fade to: A street corner. Cindy runs up to Ed.)

Cindy: Ed, I need to tell you something.
Ed: I have to tell you something to.
Cindy: Me first. I want to be with you. Your turn.
Ed: I'm breaking it off.
Cindy: What?
Ed: I'm breaking my dick off.
Cindy: What?
Ed: I'm just kidding. I'm just breaking up with you.
Cindy: What? Why?

(Ed sings "Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake.)
(End of flashback.)

Kent: You can't break up with her!
Ed: Why not?
Reed: You were both made for each other. You both do crazy stints.
Mario: You both love sexual innuendos.
Kent: And you're both not right in the head.
Ed: What are you talking about? I'm the one that's not right in the head!
Kent: She wore a short sleeve shirt and shorts during winter while wearing her old mask.
Ed: Oh.
Mario: Anyways, you shouldn't break up with her, she's your Shipoopi!

(TJ rings the bell.)
(Mario, Kent, and Reed sing "Shipoopi" from the Music Man.)

Reed: You change your mind now?
Ed: Yup!

(Bebe walks up to Kent.)

Bebe: Kent, I've been thinking about what you sang yesterday.
Kent: Okay. Go on.
Bebe: And the only reason why I shun you is because before we were gonna die 2 months ago when I said I less than 3 you, you didn't know what it meant.
Kent: You shun me for something stupid like that.
Reed: Um, Kent.
Kent: Yeah?
Reed: Less that 3 you means love you.
Kent: Oh. Sorry. How was I supposed to know what that meant?
Bebe: Get smarter!
Kent: I was at the library! I even remember how we first met. At the library.
Ed: Ooh flashback!

(Flashback fade to: The library.)

Kent Narration: It was September 2009. I was doing my homework while listening to my music. I was listening to a song when I saw Bebe. Then, Green Day's At the Library started playing so I sang along.

(Kent starts singing "At the Library" by Green Day.)
(End of flashback.)

Bebe: I was single during September 2009. I only got together with Sitka at Christmas.
Kent: I know, but who was the guy you walked away with? I'm just curious because I can't fall in like with a girl f they're dating someone. I know when they are and aren't dating someone.
Bebe: That was one of my friends. Wait, that's not how we met!
Ed: It isn't?
Mario: How did you meet then?
Bebe: CCD in 2nd grade.
Kent: We never went to the same school together.
Reed: Yeah, we know. We went to your school Kent.
Kent: Anyways, Bebe, I've moved on. I wish you a good life.
Bebe: Fine, but I'm not going until I sing a song.
Ed: Oh great.

(Bebe rings the bell and sings "If We Were a Movie" by Hannah Montana.)

Kent: Like I said, I moved on. I think you should move on too. Go back to Sitka and give him another chance.
Bebe: Fine! Forget about me!
Kent: But I can't forget about you!

(She runs away.)

Kent: You're in most of my classes!
Ed: You really haven't moved on have you?
Kent: Yes I have!
Reed: You still like her.
Kent: Yeah as a friend.
Mario: Kent, if you have moved on, why did you have us sing Barbara Ann to her when she was feeling down,
Reed: Sing a song about her after the intro of this episode,
Ed: Tell her first about Cindy's status and you be my sidekick after I told you that Dickie had Bebe?
Kent: I don't know! I just did!
Mario: We prove our point.
Kent: Besides, even if I did still like her, it's too late now.
Mario: My phone is ringing. Hi Nazz. You want to talk to me? Okay, you could've just walked over here. We do have the same lunch period.

(Nazz walks to Mario)

Nazz: Mario, this has been really bugging me but when I broke up with you 2 months back, you didn't sound emotional.
Mario: Wait, you were serious? I thought you were joking! Besides, I had to save the entire state of New Jersey!
Nazz: Suree.
Reed: He did.
Nazz: How do you know?
Reed: We were there.
Nazz: Anyways, we're through.
Mario: Wait why are you breaking up with me?
Nazz: I'm moving this spring break. I don't like long distance relationships.
Mario: Me neither, but where are you moving to?
Nazz: Oregon.
Kent: That's on the other side of the country!
Ed: Yeah everyone knows.
Nazz: So I guess you can forget about me.
Ed's Inner Monologue: That sounds familiar.

(Fade to: The hallway. Bebe runs up to Sitka.)

Bebe: Mitch Emil Sitka, I'm giving you another chance.
Sitka: No Bebe, I've moved on. I'm in a relationship with GG now.
Bebe: I hope you to have a good future.
Sitka: I think you should go to Kent.
Bebe: He told me to go to you.
Sitka: Some predicament.

(Cut to: A street corner. Ed runs up to Cindy.)

ED: Cindy! Cindy! I've made my decision.
Cindy: I've made my decision too.
Ed: Right listen, I know I was being uptight about not changing your status to in a relationship and I know you have reasons about not wanting to talk about why you wore that mask in the first place. I want you to know I don't care about any of those stuff. I'm lying I want to know why you wore a mask. Either way, I'm in lesbians with you.
Cindy: What?
Ed: I really, really mean it.
Cindy: Oh, okay.
Ed: Your turn what was your decision?
Cindy: That we have to break up.
Ed: What?
Cindy: You always left me out on the action during the warehouse incident, you didn't want to look at me the whole entire first date, and I know it was you who beat me with the bat.
Ed: You didn't have a face to look at! And how did you know that I was the one that beat you?
Cindy: Who else was in there when we went in?
Ed: Right. But how did your face change from nothing to a face?
Cindy: Regeneration.

(Mario, Reed, and Kent are revealed to be spying on them.)

Reed: Kent.
Kent: What?
Reed: What's regeneration?
Kent: I thought it was something fictional.
Ed: What's regeneration?
Cindy: My mother is human and my father is a Time Lord.
Ed: Gallifrey is real? But wait, Kent told me that Gallifrey was Time Locked in a Time War and none of the Time Lords survived!
Kent: I did. I'm a fan of Doctor Who, you know.
Cindy: My father, Omicron PiRho, who you know as Peter Grellman, arrived here in 1990 when he was 509 years old. He had the appearance of a 21 year old though. On Gallifrey, he took up the name The Mailman. He met my mother, Gwennabeth Parkison, a few months into 1990 and got married. They didn't want to have a child out of fear of what might happen when there is a Human-Time Lord Hybrid. In 1996 when I was conceived, they were all like what the hell and did their business and I was born in 9 months. I was born horribly disfigured.
Ed: Without a face.
Cindy: I could breathe and see though.
Ed: And talk and eat.
Cindy: I had to wear the mask to keep it secret. When you beat me with that bat, I went under a partial regeneration.
Ed: So you didn't change into a new body, you just finally gained a face. And the Time War is the reason why your dad isn't here.
Cindy: Exactly. Anyways, I have to sing a song to get this through to your head.

(Cindy rings a bell.)

Ed: Play or chorus?
Cindy: Both.

(Cindy and eventually Ed sing "Gotta Go My Own Way" by Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron.)
(Kent, Reed, and Mario cry.)

Cindy: I'm sorry. Still be friends okay?
Ed: Okay. Whatever. Just go. Leave me to cry.
Cindy: Okay.

(She walks away and Ed is left under the street light heartbroken and crying.)
(End of Act I)
Yes I wrote a musical episode. If the series was to end during the first season, I would like to have a musical episode just to make a good ending.
