Chapter 61: Big Show

Start from the beginning
                                    

Sadie: *shining a flashlight under her face* ♪ Teens by day, we're all right. ♪ Teens by day, but every night we're... ♪

Sadie & Cool Kids: ♪ Sadie Killer and the Suspects! ♪

Sadie: ♪ Whoa-oh-oh! ♪

Sadie & Cool Kids: ♪ Sadie Killer and the Suspects! ♪

Sadie: ♪ Don't be scared, it's the afternoon! ♪ Don't be scared, but pretty soon we'll be... ♪

Sadie & Cool Kids: ♪ Sadie Killer and the Suspects! ♪

Sadie: ♪ Whoa-oh-oh! ♪

Sadie & Cool Kids: ♪ Sadie Killer and the Suspects! ♪

Sadie: ♪ The moon is out, I'm feeling strange. ♪ *covers her face with a cape* ♪ It's making me shout, it's making me change. ♪ You better watch out, it's going to get loud. ♪ I'm killing the stage, I'm killing the crowd! ♪

Sadie turns around and holds up her cape, revealing a skeleton on her back, as Sour Cream throws in a smoke bomb.

Buck: And you're next.

Greg: *clapping* Whoa! That was great! Sadie, you transform into a totally different person.

Steven: Yeah. No more Sadie Miller. She's Sadie Killer.

Y/N: Yeah! That's my girl!

Sadie: *blushes* Heh heh. Yeah. It feels... kind of freeing.

Greg: I can tell! And this whole look you guys have going is really fun! Nice wolf man, Buck.

Buck: I'm a witch's cat.

Jenny: We know our costumes look cheap. But when we make it big, we're going to have the finest tombstone hats money can buy.

Sadie: But that's a long ways off. We're still mostly playing, uh, well, basements.

Greg: That's where everyone starts. Now you just got to work on the stuff that isn't music: booking shows, making merch, getting the word out.

Steven: Dad! You know how to do all that stuff! You could help them!

Greg: What, like, be their manager?

Steven & Y/N: Yeah!

Buck: You taught me everything I know, Mr. U. I think you'd be a great manager.

Sadie: Yeah!

Jenny: Yeah, come on!

Greg: Ha! I'll take the job!

Sadie & Cool Kids: Yeah!

Sadie: Thanks, Mr. Universe!

Buck: And so it begins: our rise to stardom, followed by the inevitable infighting and creative disagreements that will tear us apart in a beautiful explosion of emotions.

Y/N:.............Don't give us thoughts about that.

Greg: Don't worry. That won't happen.

Buck: Ah, shoot.

Change Scene; Greg's Van

The video flickers and transitions to Steven walking toward Greg's van, while Greg is inside talking on his phone.

Greg: Hey, Sunshine! It's your old friend, Mr. Universe.

Steven knocks on the van door, with a sign reading "Greg Universe: Professional Band Manager" pasted on it, and Greg opens the door with his foot.

Greg: Are you still booking all the coolest bands at your club? Well, listen to this!

Greg plays Sadie's song on his laptop and holds the phone up to it. Steven gives a thumbs-up and Greg returns the thumbs-up. Shortly, Greg pulls back the phone and speaks into it again.
