In class Charlie gets a text from Stella, so do the others and Oliva.

Wen- You think it's about the band?

PIZZERIA NARRATOR POV
Mo- We talked about this.It's not gonna happen.

Jake- Sure it is.

Stella- l signed us up for Rising Star this morning.

Charlie- We're not experienced enough.

Stella- Which is why I also signed us up for Halloween Bash.

Jake- What?

Olivia- Wait, how'd you pull that off?

Stella- It's amazing what a principal will agree to if he thinks his new "problem student" is channeling her energy into something productive.

Mo- Goofing around in detention does not make us a band.

Jake- So we'll practice.

Stella- You have real drums, right?

Charlie- Yeah.

Stella- See?I didn't even know that.

Mo- Ha, ha.

Wen- Okay, so, what are we gonna play?

Stella- You could write our songs.

Olivia- Me?

Jake- Yeah.That one you did the other day was pretty amazing.

Olivia- That was nothing.I think I'm gonna be sick.

Mo- Wait. We can't play the Bash.Mudslide Crush is playing.

Stella- And we are opening for them.

Stella, Wen, and Jake high five each other.

Stella- I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I don't wanna be some random face in a yearbook. Or a kid people vaguely recall passing in the halls. I wanna be heard.Wen, Jake, and I are in. Who's with us?

Charlie- I'll give it a shot.

Mo- Really?

Charlie- Yeah? But only if everyone else agrees.

Mo- Just one practice. If it works, great.If not, I'm out.

Jake- All right.Okay. Ha, ha.

Stella- Come on. Say you'll try.

Olivia- Please.

Jake- It'll be fun.It'll be so much fun.

MUSIC ROOM LEMONADE MOUTH'S FIRST REHEARSAL
Stella- Come on, Charlie.

Jake- It's a simple four-four beat.

Stella- You're not even trying.It's B to B-flat, back to B, then an F-sharp. Ready?

Olivia- Okay, this isn't working.

Stella- We'll get it.We just need to keep practicing. Also, maybe we need to go a little more hardcore.

Mo- That's it. I'm out of here.

Jake- What? You're just gonna stomp away?

Olivia- Yeah, come on. Don't leave.

Mo- In case you guys hadn't realized,I'm classically trained.On the violin.I don't play whatever this is.

Charlie- I'm-- I'm out too.

Jake- What?

Wen- Guys, look.Come on. We can work this out.
