Here we go, guys! Get ready!

Part 1
The weekend's finally here! Only a day after the Strawberry Lumps band wrote their first song, Lizzy was over at Lindsay's house hanging out with her in her bedroom.

Lindsay: So, what were the songs for the play again?

Lizzy: They were.... The Start of Something New, Get'cha Head in the Game, What I've Been Looking For, and We're All In This Together.

Lindsay: That's right. Are we singing them?

Lizzy: I don't believe so. But honestly, I've been thinking.

Lindsay: About?

Lizzy: I honestly see you better as Gabriella. I know the movie and how she is. Your personality fits better.

Lindsay: You really think so?

Before Lizzy could answer, someone came knocking at the door.

Lindsay: Daniel, could you please get the door?

Daniel answers.

Olivia: Hi Daniel.

Daniel: Hey, Olivia. Lindsay's up in her room.

Olivia: Okay, thanks. *walks up to Lindsay's Room* Hey, guys.

Lizzy: Hey, Olivia. What brings you here?

Olivia: Well, I was wondering if you wanted to have a Girl's Shopping Night.

Lindsay: Sure, I'll let Daniel know we're leaving.

Just then, Daniel walked up the stairs.

Daniel: Lindsay.

Lindsay: Perfect. Daniel, I need to tell you something.

Daniel: I need to tell you something as well.

Lindsay: Tell me first.

Daniel: Blake texted me and is calling a meeting in the Commons for Jesus Club and he needs us there.

Lindsay: Tell him I can't make it. I'm going shopping with the girls.

Daniel: Alright, then. Drop me off?

Lindsay: Yes.

Part 2
At the High School, Blake was pacing around back and forth waiting for Daniel and Lindsay while Kenzie, Zach, and Hunter were sitting at a table.

Blake: There you are.

Daniel: I'm here.

Blake: Where's Lindsay?

Daniel: She couldn't make it.

Blake: Alright, just let her know what I have to say when you go home tonight. *he pauses* Now, I'm pretty sure you're wondering why I called this meeting.

Kenzie: That's what we're wondering.

Zach: Why did you call this meeting?

Blake: Well, I called this meeting because I don't think we're doing enough with this club by only meeting in a room every week and praying for each other.

Hunter: What do you mean?

Zach: He's saying we need to stretch. We need to do more.

Hunter: Oh.

Blake: Yes. Any ideas, guys? Think of it as us reaching out.

Kenzie: To the other students?

Zach: Yes.

Kenzie: But aren't we not allowed to have religion in school? Isn't that why we're in a secret room every week?

Zach: Okay, she's got a point.

Blake: Yes.. But, first who are we to please--them or God?

Daniel: Another good point.

Hunter: Does it just have to be the students?

Blake: That's the other part of what I'm saying. What if we did more as a group to do more of an Outreach to serve the community?

Kenzie: By doing what, exactly?

Blake: That's where I'm asking you guys to come in... Ideas?

Zach: *whispers in Daniel's ear*

Daniel: I got it.

Blake: What'cha guys got?

Zach: Follow me.

Part 3
Meanwhile, the girls were just driving around, chatting during their drive through Oregon City on the way to the mall.

Lindsay: Oh, how I have missed this area. It feels like forever.

Olivia: Where did you move back from?

Lindsay: Eastern Oregon.

Lizzy: I'm really glad you're back. I have missed you.

Lindsay: I missed you too. And I really missed driving through this big city, seeing all the beautiful lights at night.

Olivia: Aren't they amazing?

Lizzy: They sure are.

When they got to the mall, they searched around at clothes, music, movies, and some other cool things. Suddenly, Olivia saw something unexpected.

Olivia: Guys, look at this!

It was a Karaoke Machine.

Lindsay: The Karaoke Machine?

Olivia: Yes!

Lizzy: What about it?

Olivia: You guys are doing a Musical, aren't you? Use this as a prop for your play!

Lindsay: Ahhh.. Smart thinking.

Lizzy: Yeah, good idea. Call Jimmy up and see what he thinks.

Lindsay: On it. *calls Jimmy*

Jimmy: Hello?

Lindsay: Jimmy, it's Lindsay.

Jimmy: Oh hey, Lindsay. What's going on?

Lindsay: Well, I'm with the girls at the mall and we stumbled upon a prop I think would be great for the show.

Jimmy: Really? What is it?

Lindsay: It's a Karaoke Machine.

Jimmy: A Karaoke Machine?

Lindsay: Yes, we thought it would be good to use in the play. After all, there is a scene where Gabriella and Troy meet through Karaoke.

Olivia: *interrupts* That's what I'm saying!

Lindsay: Shh.

Jimmy: Well, the only think is we can't have it on when the play is showing. Yet, I think it's a great idea.

Lindsay: Really?

Jimmy: Yeah, buy it!

Lindsay: I will thank you! *hangs up*

Olivia: I told ya!

Just then, a voice came from down the isle.

Chad: Hey babe!

Olivia: Hey sweetie! *kisses him* What are you doing here?

Chad: Oh, I'm just with Jared buying a few things.

Jared: Hey, Olivia.

Olivia: Hi.

Chad: What are you guys doing?

Olivia: Well, we came to go shopping for a Girl's Night, when we came upon this prop for the show.

Jared: This Karaoke Machine?

Olivia: Yeah!

Chad: Perfect.

Olivia: I agree.

Lindsay: Me too. We called Jimmy up and he also approved.

Jared: I second that. It'll be good for the Gabriella and Troy scene when they meet through Karaoke.

Lindsay: That's what we were thinking.

Chad; Well, what are you guys doing now?

Lizzy: Not sure.

Olivia: Probably more shopping.

Chad: Us too.

Olivia: Well, we're going to get going. I'll see you later?

Chad: See you later.

Olivia: Okay, bye. *kisses him and smiles as they all walk off and continue their shopping*

Part 4
Back in town, Blake was driving one of the vans from his Church around Canby with the rest of the kids from the Jesus Club, making a quick stop at McDonald's.

Blake: I'll be right back, guys. Gotta get the food, real quick.

Daniel: I'll head in their with you.

They both walk out.

Kenzie: Remind me again what we're doing again?

Zach: Street Ministry.

Kenzie: Street Ministry?

Hunter: Simple. We're going to go into McDonald's to buy a bunch of cheese burgers and deliver them door-to-door with tracks on the Gospel.

Kenzie: Now that makes sense.

Blake: *gets back in the van with Daniel* Alright, we're back. First stop?

Daniel: Maple Street.

Blake: You got it. *drives there*

When they got there, Blake asked who would walk up to the first door and Zach volunteered. When he got to the door, he started talking after the person answered.

Zach: Hello, I was just in the neighborhood and-- *door shuts on him before he walks back to the van* Well, that didn't work.

Daniel: Let me try the next one. Hunter, come with me.

Kenzie: Take the food this time, guys.

Daniel: Hello, we were wondering if you guys wanted free McDonald's? We were just in the neighborhood.

Person 1: Free McDonald's?? Now who would pass that up? *takes the food*

Hunter: Would you like prayer for anything?

Person 1: Prayer?

Hunter: Yes.

Person 1: Haha, good night, you guys. Thanks for the food. *closes the door*

Hunter: *walks back to the van with Daniel* Well, that kind of worked.

Kenzie: Let me try. *takes another bag of food and walks up to the next door and the door opens* Hi, would you like free McDonald's? I just got it and it's fresh!

Person 2: Well, thank you! *takes the food and looks in the bag* What's this?

Kenzie: You see, I'm from the Canby High School Gospel Team and we were just giving out free McDonald's for hungry people and seeing if they needed prayer for anything. Would you like prayer?

Person 2: Oh, no thanks. I'm not interested. Thanks for the food, though. *closes the door*

Kenzie: *walks back to the van* That didn't even work!

Blake: Alright everyone, get back in the van and I'll drop you guys off at home. *everyone gets back in, he starts the car, and he drives off with them* We'll have to go deeper with these ideas.

There you are, guys! Chapter 13, all ready. I'm hoping to come up with more ideas for both the High School Musical Play and for the Jesus Club. Stay tuned!
