Journey On Charlie Brown A Peanuts Jukebox Musical
Chapter 1: A Bad Day For Charlie Brown
It was a very rainy day in Birchwood,it was nearing the end of springtime and the summer heat was on its way and many kids were excited for their impending summer vacation….all except for one. A very bruised,beaten up,very dirty Charlie Brown was running down the sidewalk with tears stuck in his eyes. His shirt was badly torn leaving only the top of it left as his stomach was shown with small bruises and cuts. His left eye was very blackened and his little hair that was commonly seen on his head was gone,in fact it was clearly plucked out.
Something had happened to the boy and he was dead set on getting home to be by himself,strangely enough no one was with him especially since seeing another kid like this would likely draw a crowd,but it was just him and only him as he continued to run through the pouring rain. Soon he made it back to his house and he barged through the door and ran up the stairs followed by the sound of his door slamming shut and being violently locked. He didn't even pay attention to his dog Snoopy with his purple supper dish in his mouth showing he was clearly hunrgy. He quickly paced through his room over and over again as he was now very frustrated and soon kicked his bedside dresser as he sat on his bed,he was now breathing very hard and quickly as he was clearly getting angrier and angrier every secnd,but soon somehing must have snapped because it slowed down and devolved into quiet crying. He then buried his face into his hands and sobbed uncontrollably for at least a minute before he managed to gain control of himself. His eyes were bloodshot due to all his uncontrollable crying and he turned towards his window as he proceeded to open it and lean on it while he stared off into the clouds even though it was still pouring rain,but he didn't care one bit.
The sun'll come out tomorrow,bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow,there'll be sun.
Just thinkin' about tomorrow,clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow,till there's none
Soon the rain slowly but surely started to stop as Charlie Brown could make out images in the clouds resembling his past failures such as the Christmas tree and failing the spelling bee.
When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely,I just stick out my chin,and grin,and say,oh.
The wind in the sky had blown away the clouds that resembled his failures as they slowly started to part as the sun emerged from behind them and lit a beam of light into Charlie Brown and his room
The sun'll come out tomorrow,so you gotta hang on till tomorrow,come what may.
Tomorrow,tomorrow,I love ya tomorrow,you're always a day away.
Author's Note
This is chapter 1 of my Peanuts Jukebox musical and I wanted to start off short but I do want to emphasize that the remaining chapters will be longer and will have a wide selection of songs to represent the story. Stay tuned for chapter 2.
