I wrote a parody of musicals part 2

He turns around expecting to see her but he doesn't see her because she left.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (CONT’D)
Nique...

Drake stands dumbfounded and heartbroken because Domonique left him. The shot pulls back from where he is standing to reveal that in the other room a guy is playing the background music on the piano. He stops playing. Then he starts playing the background music for the next scene. The song that is about to be played is "Welcome to High School" which is an upbeat/cheery tune.
CUT TO:

EXT. -GENE KELLY HIGH-DAY

The background music for the song they are about to sing, "Welcome to High School", continues on into the background. The school is painted red and very big. There are white words on the top of it that say "Gene Kelly High". Below it are two doors, a right door and a left door with steps as the entrance to the building. Outside the school, students are hanging out. Many are in crowds talking to each other. Most of them are in a circle. Buses are lined up at the front of the school. A skateboarder skates down the steps that lead to the school. A subtitle that says "Gene Kelly High. Two weeks later" pops up and pops out. The buses open and the kids cartwheel out of the bus. Tap dancers tap dance out of the school down the steps causing the kids in the circles look at them. Then when the tap dancers dance off the steps and join everybody else causing everybody to starts singin "Welcome to High School". The song starts to get slower but still cheery as they sing about the importance of education and how they are apparently good kids. A teacher is walking up the steps singing about how his life as a teacher isn't as great as he thought it would be.

TEACHER(SINGING)
(Singing "Welcome to High School")

A student reading a Biology textbook and walking up the stairs passes him.

OVERACHIEVER(SINGING)
(Singing "Welcome to High School")

Two stoners are singing to each other about trying to take drugs during their off periods without teachers knowing. The first stoner is holding a bong.

STONER#1(SINGING)
(Singing "Welcome to High School")

STONER#2(SINGING)
(Singing "Welcome to High School")

A teacher walks up to them and he hides the bong under his shirt.

STONER#2(SINGING)
(Singing "Welcome to High School")

A student carrying a backpack on his back with two grenades sticking out and holding two guns in his hands sings about shooting the school.

SCHOOL SHOOTER(SINGING)
(Singing "Welcome to High School")

Everybody starts singing again.

Everybody starts singing again.

TEENAGERS(SINGING)
(Singing "Welcome to High School")

They stop singing. They get in a straight line while the music still plays in the background.

TEENAGERS(IN A CHEERY TUNE)
Welcome to our school!

They start singing "Welcome to High School" and walk forwards and backwards to the high school. This happens atleast 10 times. Everyone holds their hands together then they spring their arms up.

TEENAGERS(IN A CHEERY TUNE)
Welcome to our school!

They hold school for 40 seconds but they can't really do it. This causes their voice to crack causing them to finally put the "l" sound at the end and stop the song. A bus with a big banner saying "The Gene Kelly High Crazy Tigers" hung on the side of the school bus rides into the school entrance. Drake, who is the kickball star at Gene Kelly High, come dancing out of the bus followed by his teammates, his cynical black friend, Carter Donaldson, who has Justin Guarini/Corbin Bleu/Sideshow Bob-style hair, his other black friend, Syke Trayton, his white friend, Ronnie, and a bunch of other kickball players and cheerleaders followed by the coach, who is also Drake's dad, Jack McPrettyboytoy.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
Who are we?!

GENE KELLY HIGH CRAZY TIGERS
Crazy Tigers!

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
Who are we?!

GENE KELLY HIGH CRAZY TIGERS
Crazy Tigers!

They cheer and the cheerleaders shake their pompons as they cheer. As they cheer, a boom mike suddenly gets into the frame out of nowhere. They stop cheering.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
Were invincible! Nothing can stop us!

They turn around and start dancing and bouncing around again.

CUT TO:

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH-DAY

There is a cafeteria near the entrance of the school. Near the cafeteria is the auditorium and near that is a hallway. Across the cafeteria and hallway, are a row of lockers on opposite sides. A bunch of students are in the school opening their lockers. The first student opening his locker sees the Gene Kelly High Crazy Tigers and stops what he's doing.

STUDENT#1
Well, here comes the Gene Kelly High Crazy Tigers bouncing and dancing around!

The Gene Kelly High Crazy Tigers and the cheerleaders enter into the school bouncing and dancing around. The Science club, led by Terry Mackenzie, pop out from a corner of the school and look at the Gene Kelly High Crazy Tigers cynically and roll their eyes.

TERRY MACKENZIE(TALKING LIKE A NATURE SHOW HOST)
Here we have the jocks: there are a bunch of cliques in school but the jocks tend to be in the top of the food chain. They are also narcisstic, clueless, and stupid and are only known for looking good, throwing balls and, well, basically looking good.

She looks at the screen and suddenly there is a logo on the bottom of the screen saying "School is a jungle". The screen now looks like she is being filmed on a nature show.

TERRY MACKENZIE(TALKING LIKE A NATURE SHOW HOST) (CONT’D)
Next time on "School is a jungle", we will be talking about nerds like us the science club.

EXT. -GENE KELLY HIGH-DAY

A bunch of kids are still hanging out outside the school but all the buses are gone. A limo rides up to the school and stops at the entrance. The limo driver walks out of the limo and goes to the door that opens to the middle seat. He opens the door and Pomeranian Erickson(carrying a purse on her shoulder), the bitchy president of the Drama Club and the future Paris Hiltons of America, turns and starts getting out of the car but her flie is unzipped however before you can see anything the paparazzi come and take pictures of her fly. She zips her fly and looks at the paparazzi.

POMERANIAN ERICKSON
Thanks guys. Now get out of my sight!

Pomeranian Erickson gets out of the car followed by her gay brother, Ricky Erickson, who's gay and kind of her slave. The limo driver walks to the car, closes the door and walks back to the door to the drivers seat. Then he goes back into the car and drives away.

Pomerian looks at an off-screen character.

POMERANIAN ERICKSON (CONT’D)
Oh, Todd, can you come here a minute?

Her hair stylist/pet groomer Todd walks up to her and looks at her meekly. He is dressed like Sweeney Todd except his hair isn't frazzled, it's actually combed over and he has a sweater tied to his pants.

TODD Yes, Pomerian?

She turns and looks at him madly. Todd, Pomeranian and Ricky, who's now wearing a salmon hat, stop walking.

POMERANIAN ERICKSON
Excuse me, Todd---.

She takes out the corpse of her dead dog, which is a Pomeranian, out of her purse.

POMERIAN ERICKSON
Did you do this?!

RICKY ERICKSON
Ooh...nasty!

Todd gets nervous because he did do it.

POMERIAN ERICKSON (CONT’D)
Did you?!

TODD(NERVOUSLY)
Yes.

She slaps him across the face with the pomeranian corpse.

RICKY ERICKSON
Ooh...she got you good! You go, girlfriend!

POMERIAN ERICKSON
Look, I know you hate animals because of that bad expierience you had with chipmunks one time, but you do not kill my pets! This is the 3rd pet you've killed this month! Look, I'm sorry I have to do this, but I'm firing you, Todd! You hear me?!

Todd looks down sadly.

POMERIAN ERICKSON(MAD)
Do you?!

TODD
Yes, Pomerian.

POMERIAN ERICKSON
Good.

She snaps her fingers.

POMERIAN ERICKSON (CONT’D)
Ricky, let's go.

Pomerian and Ricky, wearing a Jack Skellington hat, leave.

POMERIAN ERICKSON (V.O.) (CONT’D)
Hey Rick, you’re gay, how about you be my new hair stylist? You’re already my slave!

Dark music starts in the background. Todd looks up madly and prances around the school talking about his vengeance but no one seems to notice him.

TODD
So you think you can just throw me away, Pomerian, huh?! Like I'm just trash! Well I will have my vengeance! I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do! I'll skip schools then come back dressed like Edward Scissorhands went to a ramones concert!

OFF-SCREEN VOICE
Does anyone care he’s publicly speaking about killing someone?!

OFF-SCREEN VOICE#2 (CONT’D)
Not really!

He turns around and looks at the sky and starts singing.

TODD(SINGING)
I'll have my vengeance!
The bitch will pay for what she did!

The mood is ruined when the police come and pin him to the ground. Then one policeman takes out a taser and Todd looks at him scared because they are about to tase him. He screams. The policeman tases him.

INT. -MRS. LOPENZIA’S CAR-DAY

Mrs. Lopenzia is driving Domonique, who is sitting in the seat next to her, to her new school, which happens to be Gene Kelly High. Domonique is lying at the window looking outside happily. Outside the car, barely any cars are driving past them. On the floor near Domonique's feet is her backpack.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA
Goodbye Houston, Goodbye little miss perfect, goodbye science world...

MRS. LOPENZIA
Domonique, don’t be such a drama queen: plus, you can be the little miss perfect science geek at your new school, you don’t have to quit that position just because you’re at a new school.

Domonique gets up from the window and looks at her mom.

The next song Domonique is about sing about how she's eager to discover something new, called "New World", begins in the background.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA
Actually, I’m happy about that: I’m tired of the whole little miss perfect scientist thing...I want a change of pace. As I see it, a whole new world is opening up to my eyes...

CUT TO:

EXT. -MRS. LOPENZIA'S CAR-DAY

The song continues in the background. The door of the cars opens as Mrs. Lopenzia continues to drive. The backpack and a few papers fly out of the car. Domonique springs out of the car but holds onto the top of the window keeping her feet inside the car. She starts to sing the song, "New World".

Domonique Lopenzia(SINGING)
(Singing "New World")

CUT TO:

A family in a car passes by their car as Domonique continues to sing. The family looks at her strangely.

CUT TO:

Domonique continues to hang onto the door as she sings "New World".

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA(SINGING)
(Singing "New World")

After about 10 verses, the song slows down but keeps the positive tone to it. She sings about how she must go now.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA(SINGING)
(Singing "New World")

She goes back into the car and closes the door after she gets her whole body into the car.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH HALLWAY-DAY

Drake is at his locker opening it while Carter stands next to him and dribbles a ball. He sees Pomerian(who's busy typing on her sidekick) and Ricky Ericson, who's wearing a hat saying "Insert Judah Friedlander saying here" walk in. Carter looks worried.

CARTER DONALDSON
Oh great, Pomerian is coming our way.

Pomerian walks past them because she's busy typing on her sidekick but Ricky walks to Drake and looks at him lustfully. Drake finds this very awkward.

RICKY ERICKSON
Hi.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
Umm...hi?

CUT TO:

Pomerian is still walking playing on her sidekick until she notices Ricky's not with her and stops. She looks away from her sidekick suspicious about Ricky.

POMERIAN ERICKSON
My Ricky's not here sense is tingling.

She looks over and sees Ricky hanging out with Drake and Carter. She's jealous he's hanging out with them.

CUT TO:
Pomerian, mad at Ricky pushes Ricky out of the way then looks at Drake admiringly.

POMERIAN ERICKSON(ADMIRINGLY)
Hi Drake: it's me, Pomerian Erickson, president of the Drama Club and the future Paris Hilton’s of America.

She walks closer to him and looks at him more lustfully.

POMERIAN ERICKSON(ADMIRINGLY)
So, um, Drake, are you going to go see the High School Musical?

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
I don't know...what's it called?

POMERIAN ERICKSON(ADMIRINGLY)
High School Musical.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
I know it's the High School Musical: what's it called?

Pomerian is getting a little annoyed with him but is still interested in him.

POMERIAN ERICKSON(ANNOYED)
High School Musical.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
I know it's the High School Musical: what's it called? Pomerian is starting to get really annoyed by Drake because the musical is really called "High School Musical".

POMERIAN ERICKSON(FRUSTRATED)
It's called High School Musical, you moron! We couldn't afford the rights to a real musical!

She storms off madly. Carter looks at him.

CARTER DONALDSON
You weren’t really going to the high school musical, were you?

Drake chuckles.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
Of course not! Why would I go to the high school boosical?!

They high five each other. The lights dim and Drake looks at the crowd. A spotlight goes on him.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (CONT’D)
But I have a feeling---in my heart---that makes me wonder: should I just stick with the status quo? Or should I do the high school musical?

The lights turn back on and Drake looks at Carter. Ricky, now wearing a hat with a rainbow flag, pops out of nowhere and looks at Drake admiringly.

RICKY ERICKSON(ADMIRINGLY)
So, Drake, would you, um, like to go see a movie this Friday night?

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
Background music, please...

He snaps his fingers. Music to the tune of the song the audience think he's about to sing, "I'm not Gay", goes on in the background. He looks at Ricky, who is now wearing a pimp hat.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (CONT’D)
Ricky, how many times do I have to tell you, don't trust the school newspaper: they always lie about my sexuality. I'm not really gay. (Singing “I’m Not Gay”)

He starts dancing around the halls which has a crowd of kids stop what they are doing and look at him. There is a desk near the wall.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (SINGING) (CONT’D)
(Singing “I’m Not Gay”)

He jumps on the desk and looks at the crowd which makes the crowd look at him.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (SINGING) (CONT’D)
(Singing “I’m Not Gay”)

He jumps off the desk and dances around the crowd.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (SINGING) (CONT’D)
(Singing “I’m Not Gay”)

Two gay guys walk over to him and check him out. Drake starts to get annoyed with them and looks at them madly.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (SINGING) (CONT’D)
(Singing “I’m Not Gay”)

He pushes them away. Two girls walk over to him and check him out.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (SINGING) (CONT’D)
(Singing “I’m Not Gay”)

He grabs the girls arm by arm and they can can.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (SINGING) (CONT’D)
(Singing “I’m Not Gay”)

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY (SINGING) (CONT’D)
(Singing “I’m Not Gay”)

They stop can canning. Drake pushes them away which makes them spin back into the crowd. He dances around the crowd while the music plays in the background. Everyone starts to enjoy the music and dance along with him. Pomerian walks in causing everyone to stop dancing and look at her. The music stops. Ricky, who is now wearing a George Washington-type wig, sees her and gets nervous. She walks to Ricky and looks at him.

POMERIAN ERICKSON
Ricky, you’re supposed to be following me around everywhere we go!

RICKY ERICKSON
Sorry about that, Pomerian.

POMERIAN ERICKSON
That’s okay: let’s just go, shall we?

She jumps on his back and he catches her by the legs.

RICKY ERICKSON
Wait, why did you just jump on my back?

POMERIAN ERICKSON
I don’t feel like walking-now go!

Ricky leaves with Pomerian on his back with Ricky's feet sounding like the sound of a horse riding along.

Domonique, wearing a backpack, is in the hallway with her mother, Lainie. A bunch of students and teachers are walking around in the hallway.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA
Hey mom, why am I being introduced to school in the hallway? Isn't it usually in the principal's office?

MRS. LOPENZIA
Well, the principal's not here, honey. According to his seceratary, he's always late.

A car crashes through the school causing Domonique, her mother and everyone to stop what they are doing and look at the car. Principal Taki Tokashama walks out of the car, brushes himself off and looks at Domonique and Lainine.

PRINCIPAL TAKI TOKASHAMA
Sorry, I'm late: I was caught in horrible traffic...mainly caused by me but, you know...anyway,---.

The principal bows and chinese music plays in the background. It is followed by a loud gong.

PRINCIPAL TAKI TOKASHAMA
Welcome, Ms. lopenzia, to Gene Kelly High.

He gets up and looks at her.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA
Thank you, Mr. Tokashama. I think I’ll enjoy it here.

PRINCIPAL TAKI TOKASHAMA
So, before you start your junior year here at Gene Kelly high, allow me to tell you a little bit about the school.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA
Thanks but no thanks...I don’t need a tour: I’ll just figure it out on my own.

PRINCIPAL TAKI TOKASHAMA
No, I’m not gonna take you on a tour of the school, I’m just going to tell you a little about it so you can get adjusted here at Gene Kelly High.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA
Umm...okay.

They start walking around the school in circles.

PRINCIPAL TAKI TOKASHAMA
Gene Kelly High was found on October 21st, 1942 by...

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA
Gene Kelly?

PRINCIPAL TAKI TOKASHAMA
No, it was actually found by Eugene R. Curran, but he liked Gene Kelly so he named it after him instead. Anyways, then it was bought by Donald Trump in 1986 but he decided to keep the Gene Kelly High name because he also had a fond admiration of the actor-you can tell it’s now owned by Donald Trump seeing as all the pencils have Trump on it. Anyway, Gene Kelly High is just like any other school-we’ve got clubs, classes,---.

As they talk, the audience can’t hear them because they pass a school in the background with the door open. In the school, a teacher is sitting on a desk talking to their off-screen classroom.

MALE TEACHER
And that is why Rosie O’Donnell changed her sex-she or he knew someone that looked and acted like him or her would never be able to get some whoopa.

They pass that classroom and the audience can hear their voice again.

PRINCIPAL TAKI TOKASHAMA
The same class in a different room with a different teacher.

They pass another classroom that looks exactly like the other classroom except the teacher is a woman instead of a man but she’s in the same position as the man and the classroom looks the same. Their voice also drowns out like last time.

FEMALE TEACHER
And that is why Rosie O’Donnell changed her sex-she or he knew someone that looked and acted like him or her would never be able to get some whoopa.

They pass that classroom and the audience can hear their voice again.

PRINCIPAL TAKI TOKASHAMA
Teachers, janitors, lunchrooms, and even cliques.

They stop walking. Principal Taki Tokashama turns around and looks at her. He puts his arm on her shoulder.

PRINCIPAL TAKI TOKASHAMA (CONT’D)
Yes, were very big on cliques. Let me explain: you see, unlike most schools, you don't join a clique because of the things you're interested in and just keep your personality. You join a clique and the clique you join is what you're whole personality is. Get it?

Domonique pushes his arm off her shoulder.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA
Kinda, but not really...anyway, I think I'm going to get used to the school and see what I like best: but I don't think I'll join the science club. Even though I was a “science whiz" in my old school, I got tired of that: being little miss perfect is just too hard, you know? Anyway, I'm going to go to my homeroom. See you after school, momma.

She walks away from her mother and Principal Taki Tokashama.

LAINIE LOPENZIA
See you after school.

A kid dressed like Dracula walks past her.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA
Fix your collar and eat what other people eat...not blood!

A kid who's shoe's laces are untied walks past her.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA (CONT’D)
Tie your shoes.

Two gay guys walk past her holding hands. She gets digusted by them and rolls her eyes.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA (CONT’D)
Date the opposite sex...it's more natural.

They stop and look at her weirdly. Domonique smiles and looks at them innocently.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA (CONT’D)
Sorry, I'm a Christian.

They shrug, rolling their eyes, and walk away. They aren't very happy at what Domonique did because she was saying it's wrong to be gay.
