Garrett: Man, I am so excited for this party tonight. It&apos;s our first concert ever! Dakota: Do you guys have any plans on how it will go tonight and what songs you will sing. Mick: Heather does. I put her in charge of it. Right, Heather? Heather: Oh yeah. It&apos;s gonna be awesome. I have some ideas. Daniel: What are you thinking? Heather: You&apos;ll see. Willie: Yeah, it&apos;ll be a night, that&apos;s for sure. Just then, they walked into the building and the bell began to ring. Garrett: You coming to class, Willie? Willie: I have to do something first. Heather: Okay, just remember guys. My house after school. We need to practice practice practice. It&apos;s going to be a crazy night. Just then, they all scattered to their classes, except for Willie who was mumbling to himself and plotting. Willie: Oh yes, haha... And what a crazy night it will be.

Part 2

During Science class, the video gamers were discussing their ideas for the evening of Halloween. Logan and Zach were doing an experiment during this time. Zach: Logan, it&apos;s too bad you and Dakota gonna miss the party tonight, man. Logan: I know, bro. I have Opening Night for the play, though and Dakota has the concert. They&apos;re important. What are you gonna do? Zach: Well, Omar was actually thinking of the perfect idea. Logan: What&apos;s that? Omar: I was thinking... What if we had  an Animal Crossing WiFi Halloween Party? We&apos;d have all our Characters in Halloween Costumes and we did role plays over them? Josh: Shoot, man. I like that idea. Omar: Yeah, you should invite Cody, Eric, and Douglas to get in on this. I&apos;m sure they&apos;d love it! Logan: But how are you gonna do that when you can only have four players at a time in each town? Josh: Good point... Omar: It&apos;s simple. There&apos;s 7 of us that will play this game, if those 3 join in. Four of us can go over to Eric&apos;s place and the other of us can go over to mine. Logan: But how are you gonna share the same screen? Zach: It&apos;s called Skype. I also have a Wii Speak. Logan: Gotcha. Well, I hope you all have fun. Omar: Oh, we will. So Josh, are you going to ask them? Josh: Heck yeah I am! I already know they&apos;ll say yes. Just then, the 3 guys just walked in. Omar: Boy were your ears ringing! Eric: Did you say a Halloween Party? Josh: Yeah we did! Animal Crossing WiFi. Cody: Sounds amazing! Where at? Zach: We were thinking that the four of us would have the party over at my place and then the 3 of you would party at Eric&apos;s place. Douglas: Wait, what about your parents? Are they gonna gonna be home? Eric: No, my parents are going to see other family. Cody: What about Andrea? Eric: She and Dawn have something else planned for the night. We have the house to ourselves! Douglas: That&apos;s great. Omar: Alright, it&apos;s settled! Party tonight! Just then, the bell rang. Logan: Have fun guys.

Part 3 After school, Lindsay and Jared were in the Science Lab talking about the play. Jared: How are you feeling? Lindsay: I&apos;m nervous. It&apos;s Opening Night. Jared: It&apos;s your first High School Play, right? You&apos;re gonna do great. You kill it with your singing! You make the perfect Gabriella. Lindsay: Thanks, Jared. Hey, I&apos;ll be right back. *walks out* Jared: Okay! *reads a magazine* Just then, Lauren sneaks into the Science Lab and pours something into the beaker, and quickly sneaks out.... Lindsay then walks back in. Little did anyone know, Lizzy and Olivia were watching the whole thing. Lindsay: I&apos;m back. Honestly, I think we can do this. Jared: Yeah, we got this! We&apos;re in this together. Before Lindsay could speak, the beaker started overflowing on the table, steam began floating up to the ceiling and the sprinklers turned on, getting them both wet. Lindsay: *drenched in water* AHHH! What happened?? Jared: I don&apos;t know! We have to get out of here!

Just then, as the rest of those still studying at school were evacuating, Mr. England, the Science Teacher came into the hallway and stopped them. Mr. England was a tall man, with short brown hair and silver eyes. He was a kind man, very understanding, but he was stern when he needed to be and wanted to see his students succeed. Mr. England: Stop right there, Miss Tucker and Mr. Larson! Jared: We don&apos;t know what happened, sir. Lauren: I know exactly what happened, Mr. England! Mr. England: Miss Rogers, what are you doing here? Lauren: I can explain, Mr. England. Lindsay here, was trying to put the wrong chemicals in this beaker! I tried to warn her, but she wouldn&apos;t stop! Then everyone got wet! It&apos;s ruined, Mr. England! We can&apos;t do the play like this! Jared: Sir, that&apos;s not what happened! Mr. England: Go take a shower, Miss Lauren and get cleaned up. You have a play to go to. I&apos;ll talk to Miss Tucker in private, along with Mr. Larson, who apparently was in the room with her! . Lauren: Thank you, Mr. England. *winks at Jared* See you in the play, Troy. *smirks at Lindsay and then leaves* Olivia and Lizzy: Not so fast!!! *They both grab Lauren by their elbows and drag her into the classroom* Lauren: LET ME GO!!!! I HAVE A PLAY TO GO TO!!!! Mr. England: What is going on, ladies? Olivia: I&apos;ll tell you what is going on, Mr. England. Lauren lied to you! Lizzy: We saw the whole thing! Lauren caused the explosion! Lauren: *Laughs* What? I would never? Lizzy: You would never? This video says otherwise. Give me your phone, Olivia. Olivia: *Gives her the phone* Lizzy: See? *Shows Mr. England the video, showing Lauren pouring acid into the beaker* Mr. England: I believe you girls. I&apos;ve known Lindsay since her Freshman Year. She is one of my best students. She would never do such a thing. Jared: She wouldn&apos;t. I was in the room, but I should have kept an eye out. I&apos;m sorry. Lizzy: It wasn&apos;t your fault, Jared. We know you. Olivia: We know you wouldn&apos;t do that, Jared. You&apos;re not like that. Everyone in this school loves you. Mr. England: Well, Miss Rogers, I&apos;ll be hearing more from you in Detention. It&apos;s after school hours now, so you can start right now! I&apos;ll tell Jimmy you&apos;ll be late to your rehearsal. Lauren: Mr. England, please! Mr. England: Enough. The rest of you can go. Everyone walked out. Lauren: *As they leave* I will get you, Lindsay! Jared: We better watch our backs. Olivia: You&apos;ll be fine.

Part Four Meanwhile, Heather was at her house getting everything ready for the Halloween Party. Her parents weren&apos;t home and suddenly, they decided to have the concert in the backyard, with snacks and refreshments in the Kitchen. Dakota: I&apos;m so excited for this. Heather: Me too. I hope people come. Willie: Oh, believe me... They will come. I will be right back, though. *walks off* Garrett: I&apos;m sure will be fine. We told people. We hung up posters. We got this! Daniel: Yeah, we worked hard. Heather: Daniel, are you sure you didn&apos;t want to go watch your sister&apos;s play? Daniel: I&apos;m sure. Mick: Really? Even after all the hard work she put into it? Daniel: We put a lot of work into this as well. Garrett: True. Daniel: I wanted be here for our first concert Mick: Well thank you. We appreciate it. Dakota: So Heather, what songs do you have? Heather: A few popular artists. We&apos;ll be doing covers by them tonight and then I will be singing the song that I wrote as the finale. Garrett: Come on! Mick: Where did Willie go? Dakota: I don&apos;t know. But he said he&apos;ll be back. Daniel: Alright, well... Let&apos;s see what you have. Heather: Okay.

Part 5 Meanwhile.... The video gamers were getting ready for their party on Skype. Zach: Eric! Can you hear us? Eric: Yes! How are we doing this? Omar: Well.... It&apos;s a Halloween Animal Crossing RP. Zach: Well, I already decided who I&apos;m gonna be... Douglas: Who? Zach: Guess.... Josh: You&apos;re gonna be Zach &apos;O Lantern? Zach: That&apos;s right!!! Douglas: Nice name. I like it. Josh: I&apos;m gonna be a skeleton... Just call my name Skull-eton. What are you gonna be? Omar: A cat. Everyone else: A cat??? Why? Omar: I couldn&apos;t think of anything else. Josh: I thought you were allergic? Omar: I am. But it&apos;s just a costume. Cody: Who&apos;s gonna be the witch? Eric: We don&apos;t even have a girl as part of the group, so that might not work. Douglas: I&apos;m sure we&apos;ll find someone. Cody: Like who? Douglas: I don&apos;t know. But we will.

Part 6 After everyone figured out their roles, they started their little story... But Meanwhile, the play was beginning to start. Jimmy was getting the crew ready for the play. Jimmy: Alright friends, we worked hard for this! Now we&apos;re ready to start this play. Thank you and remember to give it all you got. Break a leg! Lauren: *smiling at Lindsay* Break a leg, Lindsay. Lindsay: *looking back at her* Thanks, you too... Jared: Don&apos;t worry. You can do this, Gabriella. Lindsay: Thank you, Troy. Just then, Lauren set a little trap backstage for Lindsay in order to break her leg, but Jared saw the trap as Lindsay was watching. Jared: Lindsay, watch out!! *Runs over to her, grabs her, and lifts her over the trap and sets her down on the other side* Lindsay: What?? *after getting set down* Oh, thank you, Jared. You saved me. Jared: Anytime. Jimmy: Okay, places everyone! Places! We&apos;re ready for the show. I&apos;m going to start us off, so you know the drill. Brandon, get us ready. Brandon: Yes sir! Just before they couls finish the final preparation to getting the show started, they heard a scream from the hallway. Sierra: OWWW!!! Help!!! Just then, everyone from the cast ran into the hallway, finding out Sierra fell into Lauren&apos;s trap that was meant for Lindsay! Brandon: What happened? Sierra: I&apos;ve fallen and I can&apos;t get up! Jimmy: What happened?? Sierra: I think I broke my leg. Jimmy: I didn&apos;t mean break it literally! Lindsay: Now what are we going to do? We can&apos;t have High School Musical without Sharpay! Just then, Lauren walked in... Lauren: What happened in here? Everyone else looked at her, simultaniously breaking the fourth wall... Lauren: *noticing Sierra* Oh no... Jared: Yeah, look what you did. Lauren: I didn&apos;t mean to! Brandon: Well, it happened. Lauren: Are you gonna remove me from the play? Brandon: He should. Jimmy: No. I have a better idea... Sharpay broke her leg... Lauren: *realizing where this is going* No, I&apos;m not gonna do it. NO!!! Jimmy: *walks up to Lauren* Listen, Lauren. We need you in this play. We can&apos;t have High School Musical without Sharpay. Brandon: Yeah, and how you&apos;ve been acting shows you&apos;d be perfect for the role. Jimmy: *Looks at Brandon* Don&apos;t help. Brandon: Sorry. Jimmy: Lauren, what I&apos;m trying to say is. We need you. The show must go on. Will you please play this part? Everyone: Please Lauren? Lauren: Oh, alright. Everyone: Yay! It&apos;s showtime. Jimmy: *goes out on stage to the crowd* Welcome everyone to the Canby High School Auditorium! Thank you all for coming. My name is Jimmy Gerdes and I&apos;m the director of this play. I do not own, High School Musical, but I decided to direct our Fall Play this year with the permission of our Drama Teacher and to give him a break as prepares for the rest of the drama events this year. Just then, the entire audience, as well as the cast started clapping. Jimmy: Thank you! Now let&apos;s get started. We ask that during this time you please silence your cell phones. If you have any children, we ask that you would take them out to the lobby through those two exit doors in the back if they start making noise. If you need to use the bathroom, you can use those same exit doors anytime during the show or during intermission. With that, let&apos;s get started!!! A few mins into their game, the video gamers were just getting the storyline started... When their Skype call started malfunctioning. Zach: What is going on with my laptop?? Omar: I don&apos;t know, man. Zach: Eric! Guys! Can you hear me? Eric: Hel--loooo-oo-ooo? Z-ch, -re y-u th-re??? Just then, the connection dropped. Zach: Lost him... Omar: What happened? Josh: He lost connection...

Part 7

Meanwhile, at Eric&apos;s house..

Cody: What are we gonna do? Eric: I don&apos;t know. Wait for the connection to come back? Cody: It could be worse. Eric: You got that right. It&apos;ll be okay. Douglas: Yeah. I mean.. What else could possibly go wrong? Just then, the power in the entire city went off. Eric: YOU WERE SAYING, DOUGLAS??

Part 8

Back at the High School, the Drama Club was also experiencing technical difficulties... They were getting ready to start the first seen of Troy and Gabriella with the Karaoke maschine when the power shut off suddenly. Jared: Man, it&apos;s like trial after trial tonight... Lindsay: What are we gonna do? Jared: Don&apos;t worry. We&apos;ll think of something. Lauren: Well, do it quick! Everyone&apos;s leaving. Jimmy: Hold on everyone! Just then, the audience stopped. Jimmy: We will get this figured out momentarily. Until then, just stay in the lobby. We will be back with you shortly. Stay tuned Well, there you have it! What will happen with the power off? Will the show still go on? Will the video gamers still have their role play? And what will happen with the Strawberry Lumps concert? Like Jimmy said, stay tuned, folks!
