"Ricky, you have to go on! NOW!"
Natalie Bagley was shouting at Ricky backstage.
"Okay one second I just gotta find my harness!" Ricky replied. He was furiously throwing costume pieces and props around, tearing open every box he could find for the last ten minutes to no avail.
"We don't have time for that! The band can't vamp much longer!" Natalie yelled again.
She's never been too good under pressure, Ricky noted, not a great attribute for a stage manager.
"How am I supposed to do the transformation with-out my-"
Ricky was cut off by someone tapping on his shoulder. It was Nini, dressed in her Gabriella costume from HSM, holding his red jersey, the name "Caswell" printed in large white typeface on the back.
"Looking for this?" Nini said, sweetly, handing the jersey to Ricky.
"Well no I was...wait was I?"
"Well of course! Honestly I can't believe you wanted to quit the show like that! Don't worry though, I convinced EJ to give you your part back."
"EJ gave me my..wait but-"
An orange blur whipped past Ricky's head, giving him just barely enough time to duck. A buzzing noise filled Ricky's ears as he stood back up. Shaking his head, trying to clear the noise Ricky turned to see a basketball bouncing away into the darkness of the backstage.
"C'mon, get your head in the game, Bowen!" a familiar and annoying voice yelled from the direction of the ball flew from.
EJ appeared, sporting his Gaston costume, complete with awful side burns and blocky eyebrows. Tucked behind his ear was a small white flower, that looked like a spindly daisy, an aster.
"EJ!" Ricky yelled back, "What the hell!? You almost knocked me out with that!"
"Sorry man!" EJ responded, a smirk on his face that said he felt no remorse at all.
"Hey babe!" Nini said excitedly, running over to taller boy.
EJ pulled Nini into an embrace, easily lifting her off the ground, and kissed her in midair.
"Thank you so much for giving little Ricky his part back, it means SO much to me!" she said hugging EJ tightly.
"Anything for you, princess." EJ replied pulling her in for a passionate kiss which quickly turned into a full blown make out session.
Ricky stared at the scene absolutely shocked and, frankly, disgusted
"WHAT THE FU-"
"Ricky get on stage NOW!" Natalie shouted from the wing.
"But I still haven't found my harness...or my jersey, no but wait I have the...what the hell is going on???"
"What's the problem back here?"
Miss Jenn suddenly appeared next to Ricky.
"Miss Jenn! Thank god, I don't know what's going on. I can't find my harness and I need to go on for the Beast transformation and-"
"Oh Ricky, calm down, honestly. God are you always this dramatic?" Miss Jenn barked.
"Yes." replied Nini and EJ, breaking away from eating each other's faces for a moment and then going back at it again.
"Miss Jenn, I'm so confused. What is going on?" Ricky said with desperation.
Buzzing.
"What's going on is YOU are RUINING our chances of beating North High! Get your head in the game, and get on stage!" Miss Jenn replied angrily.
