Part 1 The Intro
(Scene: At the house of Serena. Serena is a sleep.)
Grace: Serena Get Up! Or will be late for your first day of school. I know that there is someone you want to meet there.
Serena: I have been up even before you tried to get me up. I just want this year to be special. Unlike last year. (Breaks into song w/ Grace. She leaves at the last note. To the school. Serena is walking with the principle to explain the school curriculum and what she would be learning to become a performer.)
Oak: Here at Poké High. We have every class that you want to major in. Since when applying you stated that you were undecided.
Serena: Correct. I am baffled by the idea of choosing. Can I just take an intro of each class then decide later.
Oak: Are you a freshmen or a sophomore?
Serena: No! I am a junior.
Oak: If you were one then I can accept this but you have to choose one, you do have the option into changing. Like if we put you into battling, but prefer the medical aspect we can change it to that field.
Serena: I would like to be either a contestant or a performer.
Oak: Since they are related closely you will have the ability to be in both but by the end of this week you have to choose. There are classes that are mandatory all of them Other then that you can choose your class in each like gym battles or contest battles, they go in the Colum's, then in electives have the classes related to the certain thing you want to graduate in.
Serena: Thanks I can go that in your office.
Oak: Fine by me. Oh by the way are you planning on seeing the basketball team this semester. Ash is on the team. He is a five star Athlete that is an excellent battler.
Serena: No! I am here to learn not goggle over some jock that is known as the golden boy.
Oak: We do not treat him like a god.
Serena: Well, I know you promote him as if he is God.
Oak: No we do not. (Serena points at the pen, the boards, the banner they have outside.) We are promoting the team.
Erika: Oak! Its Ash, he will not be here for today. He called and said that he does not want to waste time, when he could train for the team.
Oak: Ok! Give the work to my Grandson, Ash can have a day off.
Serena: See, what would say I did that?
Oak: You would get a detention.
Serena: See my point. Ash gets a day off and a person like me gets a detention for the same crime.
Oak: No! Well are you a five star Athlete.
Serena: No!
Oak: He is going to win us a championship, for the third time in three years.
Serena: I am not going to argue with this. I am going to my first class, which is Contest class. (Serena leaves. Oak drinks from a mug with Ash on it. To Serena in class.)
Harley: Today, we have a new student, her name is Serena. Can you all give her a hello? (Silence) (Yells) Guys we have a new student. Say Hi!
Everyone: Hi!
Harley: You can sit next to Ash. You have a job to do also. Keeping Ash awake in this class. (Serena sits.)
Ash: Hi I'm Ash. (Thinking: She is cute. I remember her. Serena ignores him.) Hi! Did we meet before?
Serena: (Does not look.) No! I do know you.
Ash: Would you like to go out with me, like a diner where we can eat and talk?
Serena: No! I do not go out with Athletes that are glory hogs.
Ash: Well at least can you come to the game on Friday? I will give you a ticket if you want to.
Serena: Maybe. I need to see if I can make it. (Looks at calendar. Oh I only have five minutes to watch you sorry. I can't. (Ash looks over and sees an open calendar with nothing on Friday.)
Ash: Do you hate me? I have been being nice to you.
Serena: I would not say hate. More despise you because of your glory hogging.
Ash: Listen, this you see out there it is not what I want. I like playing the sport. I just want to be a trainer. Maybe a contestant or performer.
Serena: I bet you tell that to everyone.
Harley: Good work Serena. It's been 20 minutes and no sleepy Ash but remember this is a classroom not the cafeteria. So zip it and make sure he stays awake.
Serena: Its been him talking and I been trying to pay attention.
Harley: Ok! Let see how much you been paying attention. Can you define a combination?
Serena: A combination is either two or more items…
Harley: In a contest.
Serena: Two or more moves that make a beautiful action that gets everyone attention. This requires either one Pokémon or two each doing a move to make a better-looking move.
Harley: Correct. You are paying attention. Check on Ash now. (Ash asleep.)
Serena: Ash I will go to the diner with you.
Ash: Really.
Serena: No! (Everyone laughs at Ash. End of Class. In the Hall Way.) Now to the Performer class.
?: Serena! Is that you? (Serena looks around and finds her best friend.)
Serena: Shauna! How's it been?
Shauna: Good! Have you seen Ash yet he is dreamy?
Serena: Yes I have! He asked me out and I rejected him.
Shauna: Hold on Girlfriend, You did not tell me that you were asked by Ash and you said no.
Serena: Yah! That covered it.
Shauna: Code 9. Code 9. I repeat Code 9. (All the females showed up. Except Misty May, Dawn and Iris.)
Anabel: What is it this time?
Shauna: This newbie girl just rejected Ash's offer to go out.
Serena: It's not a big deal. I just do not want to be scene with someone that takes all the glory when basketball is a team effort. (Gets slapped by Melody.)
Melody: How dare you. (Starts to sing about liking Ash. Serena tries to escape but they surround her. Ash sees this and goes to help Serena. Ash shows up)
Ash: Listen, you should not have done that. Now you are dead. If you want to live go to Room 3A. There are some people who are like you who have rejected me.
Serena: Ok! This does not mean I like you.
Ash: I know! Thank me later. (Serena escapes and all the girls fall on top of Ash kissing him.) Girls listen what did I say about personal space. (Serena walks into Room 3A.)
Misty: You must be Serena. Ash told us about you.
Serena: Yah! I am her.
May: How stupid could you be. It's one thing to say no to him but telling another your rejection of Ash. You will be killed.
Serena: I saw. Today was my first day here. I heard that Ash is basically a god here, but this; they treat him like the ruler of the school. By the way how are you not interested in him?
Dawn: That is a long story.
Serena: I am all ears.
Misty: Well it started when it was just he and I. We dated but when he became popular. I was into the battling aspect, he was interested in females. I broke up with him. Now I am dating his teammate Tracy.
May: Same, but I was his second. Dawn and me were contestants. We were interested in that class. All he cared about was his career and girls. I am dating another teammate and half brother Drew.
Dawn: He came to me after leaving May. Same story except he was more caring towards me but I still see hints of love towards others. I am currently single but have two suitors, which happen to be teammates. Paul and Green.
Iris: well I dated him a while ago, he was the same as when he was with Dawn but I new he wanted more then I could offer. I was into Dragon types; he wanted someone that did not want to exclude a certain type. I broke it off. I see someone that is on my eye but he is a drama geek. He is interested with another,
Serena: Well, I just met him, he seems nice. He said to me before asking me out that this life is not what he wanted.
May: Wow! He is trying so hard to get us back.
Serena: I said no to a casual talk and refused to go to the game.
Misty: That's where you failed. The talk is nothing, but the game. That is the only thing that he has other then training. (Bell Rings)
Serena: I better go eat something or I will feel bad later.
Misty: Well if you want friends you can join us we have competitions to.
Serena: What kind of Competition. We are on the Scholastics decathlon. These are complicated questions only smart people can answer.
Serena: Thanks. I'll think about it. (To Ash ad his team.)
Gary: I heard that another girl rejected you.
Ash: Yah! So what?
Tracy: Gary, how many girls are in that club now?
Gary: Lets see, Misty, May, Dawn, Iris, and now Serena. That's five. Ash has five haters.
Drew: Cut it out. This boy has gone through a lot.
Ash: Thanks Drew.
Drew: Well after being manhandled by those 500 other women.
Ash: Shut up! (Begins to leave.)
?: You better not be leaving son.
Ash: No dad! I was just taking some suicides.
Volkner: Good! Last game you seemed tired. Some Suicides are just what you need.
Ash: Dad I am going to do Suicides all practice long.
?: You better not!
Ash: Oh No! (Covers face.)
Volkner: Who is that?
Ursula: Ashy! Tell him who I am.
Ash: Dad! This is Ursula. She is not my Girlfriend. She is Cilan's sister. They both are in Drama Geeks!
Ursula: You will be mine Ash Ketchum.
Volkner: Ok! But why is she so close to you?
Ash: Are you blind dad! Almost very female is in love with me except five who despise me. I just met one of them. She is new.
Gary: Coach the new one is Serena. Your son likes her.
Volkner. Is she a battler?
Ash: I don't know.
Volkner: Your mom will not be happy with this.
?: I should not be happy with what?
Volkner: Nothing! Honey, just talking basketball.
Flannery: Do not lie.
Gary: Mrs. Ketchum, your son Ash likes a girl that he just met and does not know if she is a battler or not.
Flannery: Ash! Is that true.
Ash: (Looks at his arm) Look at the time mom. Better get going. (Runs out)
Flannery: This conversation is not over young man.
Volkner: Leave the boy alone. He has so much to deal with. (Flannery looks at him.) Sorry. (To Ash outside. Starts to sing about what he wants. Serena hears this.)
Serena: (Thinks) Wow! He was not lying. I was too hard on him. (To Ash) Hi! Sorry for being rude to you earlier. I just thought that you want all the glory. (Ash is shocked)
Ash: Hi Serena! You heard my song.
Serena: Yah! I am sorry. I better go see you tomorrow. (Ursula comes in and saw the whole thing.)
Ursula: Who's that?
Ash: Just a friend. She is new and I was trying to make a friend.
Ursula: Since publicly we are dating, I do not want you to see her anymore.
Ash (Shocked): What? We are not dating.
Ursula: Opps! It is up on twitter.
Ash: No! I am ruined. You ruined me.
Ursula: Why? It's not so bad.
Ash: trying being in a controlling family. All you want to do is have a normal life. You are this close to have it then a nutjob ruins it by being popular also and being in a relationship.
Ursula: Well! I like it this way so no changing. (Ash leaves upset. Tomorrow during study hall, Ash goes to the contest/performance hall and sits there thinking about life and Serena. Gary walks in.)
Gary: Bro! What's up?
Ash: Nothing.
Gary: I know you. The only way you are in here is if your life is way to out of your control.
Ash: Its nothing. (Serena walks in but notices Ash and Gary talking.)
Gary: I am your best friend, you can tell me.
Ash: Here goes, my parents want me to be a basketball/Gym Battler, My dream is to be either a trainer, a contestant, or performer.
Gary: Is that it.
Ash: No! I like this girl name Serena. Yesterday, Ursula told me that she posted that we are an item. I tried to fix it that I do not like her but everything I said she made it seem that I was either joking, or just lying.
Gary: Well! This is a problem that you must talk with your parents and Ursula.
Ash: I tried but they do not listen.
Gary: I cannot help you here. I hope you find a way to be happy.
Ash: Thanks! I needed this. (Gary leaves. Ash gets up and starts singing a song to cheer him up. Serena joins him in the song. Ash hears this but continues like she is not there. Fantina hear it and likes them singing together.)
Fantina: Fabulice! Your singing is magnififc. I knew that you miss would be here but you mister Ketchum. I thought that you would play with that little ball. Leaf help these two with their performance
Leaf: Yes! Ma'am!
Ash: Excuse me Fantina! (Runs out of the theater.)
Fantina: I was going to ask him if you and him would join the performance the school is putting on. You two have a great chance of being the lead roles. (Leaf hands Serena the schedule for the event. Fantina walks to Volkner's office.)
Volkner: Fantina, what are you doing here?
Fantina: Do you know that your son Ash Ketchum was at the performance stage today?
Volkner: I assumed he was there when he did not show up for practice. Also Gary told us that he was there.
Fantina: Did you send him over there to spy on us since the second highest activity behind you is us?
Volkner: I do not know what you are talking about. He goes there when he is upset. It calms him down. Did you know he had a rough day, yesterday? My wife is making him fall in love with someone he does not love. Also I notice that this is not his dream. My wife is also controlling this aspect to.
Fantina: Why is not Delia, his mother, done anything about it.
Volkner: Get out! You will not speak of her ever. (Later that night. At Ketchum's house.)
Ash: Drew can you pass the peas.
Drew: Get it yourself.
Ash: The bowl is near you. I have to reach to get it.
Drew: Here (passes the peas. To himself) Jerk.
Ash: Thanks! Wait, what did you say?
Drew: Let me say it louder "Jerk."
Ash: I know that you hate having me as you brother but…
Drew: Half-Brother.
Ash: Fine! But that does not mean to be rude to me.
Volkner: Ash! I heard today that you skipped study hall practice today. Why is that?
Flannery: What! Ash, you know that your schedule is class, lunch, then basketball. What was so important that you had to miss practice today?
Ash: Homework. I missed some homework last night. I was trying to get them done before class.
Volkner: That is not what I heard.
Ash (Angry and Yells): God! Why are you up on my case? I just wanted a break from my (coughs) your dream. I never wanted to be a BBall player. That is Flannery's dream. I wanted to be something else. On top of that you two created a group for people who I can date. I do not love any of them. Except for the ones I chose. You have a witch named Ursula being my next girl but I do not want her to be, I love another. Se is kind considerate, and knows when I am not a pleasant fellow. Her name is Serena. She is in my class, and we are friends for now. If this keeps up then say bye bye to your Ash. I will leave and have my own life. Not the one that you created for me. I will be upstairs in my room if any of you need me. I am going to do homework then bed. I hope this changes things between us. Also dad, grow a pair when you have a chance because she is running our lives. You have the power to stop this. Night. (Ash leaves madder then ever seen before. The family is shocked.)
Flannery: Ash! You are grounded for a month.
Ash: That is better then I have thought. That means that I am not a golden boy, I am a normal boy that disobeys orders and can't play Basketball till the month is over thanks to the contract clause by Oak. If I am in trouble at home then I can't play. So Thank You! (Closes door.)
Flannery: Volkner are you going to let your son do that to me?
Volkner: No! He did deserve a break you know. The press conferences, the media, and commercials we did this break. I was just asking if he really thinking about basketball and Gym battling. You over acted on this one Flannery. You have to make him like basketball, Gym battles, and Ursula. He does deserve choices.
Flannery: Why are you protecting him, not our son?
Volkner: Drew is happy with the choice. He does not mind doing this, also you treat Ash differently then Drew. You praise Ash more for his talents and looks. Drew you are fine with his own choices.
Drew: I am right here mom and dad.
Flannery: Go to bed or go to May or something.
Drew: Why are you to uptight on Ash and not me.
Flannery: Fine! When I see you, I see Volkner, and me but when I see Ash, I see someone else.
Volkner: I see Ash as a mistake. I was ready to leave her when she was pregnant with Ash. I did have another son with her but he is long gone from my memory. The only reason why I care is because he is my responsibility due to some stupid custody clause since I am his father. I just want him to do whatever he wants. (Ash over heard the conversation.)
Ash: (To himself) Even my dad hates me. (Next morning. Still at the Ketchum's house.)
Ash: I am going to go to school to study for a test.
Flannery: Wait.
Ash (annoyed): What is it Flannery?
Flannery: First of Mom, second we talked and we decide to unground you, to play basketball and still have the same reputation.
Ash: I was happy to be grounded. That way I can be myself and not who you want me to be.
Flannery: That 's why. I want you to follow my rules in my house.
Ash: Well in a month I will be 18 so I can do my own thing.
Flannery: Go! Play Basketball.
Ash: Fine! (Leaves. Now to Ursula at the front of the School.)
Ursula: Screams!
Cilan: Call back for the lead roles of Darkrai and Cresselia, Ursula, Cilan, Ash and Serena on Thursday.
Ursula: What! They are not Drama Geeks. Is this payback for the twitter feed of Ash and I as a couple? I publicly told everyone that was a lie.
Drew: what are you talking about? (Looks at the paper. Now Dew, Gary, Tracy, and Paul, walks in to Room 3A.)
Drew: May, we have a problem.
May: What is it? (Drew hands the flyer of the call backs. Ursula sees this and listens.) Oh No! We told her to stay away from him.
Drew: I have an idea.
May: What is it?
Gary: We planned that to separate the two.
Dawn: How?
Gary: Remember how she despised Ash when she came?
Misty: Yah! She despised him for being a glory hog
Gary: Correct! If we can get him to be a glory hog she will hate him and we can have them separately for our own uses.
Iris: When do you want this to happen?
Drew: Not now but when things get weird.
May: Do we have to?
Drew: Do you want someone like Ursula on your decathlon on your team?
May: No!
Drew: I will text you when we are going to do it.
May: Ok! (The guys leave and Ursula walks on her way. Now to the cafeteria. Drew looks worried.)
Drew: Gary do you see anything wrong here?
Gary: Wait! I have something to say. (Starts singing. Others start doing it. Ursula gets mad.)
Ursula: Everyone Shut up. (Everyone Continues Singing. Ursula goes down because of seeing Serena. The commotion causes Serena to spill her lunch on Ursula. Ursula screams.)
Fantina: What happened?
Ursula: Look at what Serena did to me. (Ash walks in.)
Drew: Stay away from that. (Points to Serena. Drew and May look at each other.)
May and Drew: Now. (Lets go to Ash answering a text by Drew. Ash walks in.)
Drew: Samuel Oak! Captain of this team in 56-59. Leader in points and Assists.
Gary: Brock "Da Rock" Stone. Captain of the team in 82-85. Leader in Blocks and Rebounds.
Ash: So What do they have to do with this team meeting. They are past captains. They did accomplish a lot, but what do they have to do with me.
Drew: There are two people that you're forgetting. (Drew hands two photos. Gary turns on the video screen Now to Serena.)
Serena: Why did you call me here I scheduled a session with Ash and Leaf to practice…
May: Shut up! We are here for you to talk to about Ash Ketchum.
Serena: Why? He is a kind guy.
May: Oh really. Watch this. (Turns on the computer. Ash sees Ash looking at the photos.
Ash: Red and My dad.
Drew: Your dad was captain in 75-79 the first to be a freshman captain.
Gary: Red your brother, was captain from 09-12. Leading in every stat.
Ash: What is with memory lane?
Drew: Do you think that they stopped their career for their dreams?
Ash: Shut up! (Leaves)
Drew: Wait! You are the third in line of basketball gods. That would make me odd. How about you?
Ash: I feel like I am following a path that was given to me, not the path that I wanted to follow. I am better then them two. I deserve the praise. I am the guy that brought back the face of this team on the map. When my brother was here the crowd was empty. When I came, this place was rocking. (The girls end the video transition) Except that this is not what I want. I want to be with Serena. I want to be something more then just a face of basketball. That's why we will win by accepting who we are. Now who are we?
All: Firecats!
Ash: Who are we?
All: Firecats!
Ash: Who are we?
All: Firecats!
Ash: Lets go! (They go out and party. Serena is in the room crying about Ash lying.)
May: You good?
Serena: Yah! I accept your offer to be part of your team.
May: Great! Now lets go over what we need to work on.
Serena: Can I have a minute a lone?
May: Of course! (Serena leaves.)
Serena: How dare he lie to me? All this time I thought he was a sweet caring boy. (Starts singing. Walks when singing. Sees Ash partying. Ash walks up to Serena.)
Ash: I want you to know that I am game with this, when can we meet to practice.
Serena: I'm out. (Leaves. Ash follows)
Ash: Out? Out of What?
Serena: what we had, it's over.
Ash: Why? Did I miss a meeting?
Serena: No! It was the fact that I found out you were lying about being forced to do this and being a glory hog.
Ash: When did I lie? I've been telling you the truth. I always had.
Serena: Today, I saw you talking to your guy pals. They are your group; mine are the girls that reject you.
Ash: Oh! I was saying things to get them to make them think I am all in. Did you get the last portion of the speech?
Serena: Yah! When you are saying that "you brought this place on the map" and "I was the one that brought the crowd here." Or was it " I deserve the praise."
Ash: There was another part that you missed.
Serena: I bet it was to make you seem invincible. (Leaves.)
Ash: It was that I wanted to be with you. (Ash slams on the lockers, then leaves. At home, later that day.)
Volkner: Ash is everything Ok?
Ash: What if you want to try something new?
Volkner: Like battle strategies?
Ash: No! Like something new, like completely new.
Volkner: You should be open to doing new things.
Ash: What if your friends do not feel the same way?
Volkner: Are they really your friends then?
Ash: Thanks dad! (Now lets go to the cafeteria the next day.)
Drew: Ash sit next to me. (Ash walks away depressed. May sees Serena.)
May: Serena: sit here. (Serena walks away and sits at an empty table. Drew and May walk to each other.)
Drew: We have to fix this.
May: I know. I got it, why not you talk to Ash and we talk to Serena.
Drew: Ok perfect! I know where to find Ash in this situation. (The guys went to find Ash and the girls went to find Serena. Now with The girls.)
Serena: Girls, if this is about me being part of the group, I am in.
May: No! This is about what happened yesterday.
Serena: I do not want to talk about it. (Leaves.)
May: Wait! Ash is a great guy. Me made him say that stuff. We just wanted you to be away from Ash.
Serena: It worked. I hate him and I am part of this team.
May: No! You love him. He blinded us that we did not see it.
Serena: To late. If you want to help stay, if not then stop bugging me. (Leaves. Now to Ash. He is at the court where he first took his shot with his father and real mother.)
Drew: Ash, We have something to tell you.
Gary: I made these. (Hand cookies.)
Drew: Quit that! Ash, we messed up bad this week.
Ash: If this was that talk we had yesterday, I am in.
Drew: Remember when, we were down there, we telling you past captains?
Ash: Yah!
Drew: We captured you on Skype with the girls. Serena saw the whole action you had with Red and your father.
Ash: I know she was quoting what I said. I've been trying to tell her that, that was not me. She does not speak to me; she does not answer my calls or tweets.
Drew: When we did this we thought that we were going to loose you. Now we learned that this was a bigger mistake then pressuring you to be captain.
Ash: Do you have a plan to get her to believe me?
Drew: Yes and No! The girls are talking to her but it is unclear weather she is going to believe them.
Ash: I should have known something like this would happen. This is all like my other ex's all over again. (They guys leave. Ash goes to Serena's house. Ash knocks on the door. Grace opens.)
Grace: Ash! What a nice surprise.
Ash: Is Serena at home? (Grace looks back to Serena. Serena signs no with her face and hands.)
Grace: No! She is at May's house studying.
Ash: Ok! Can you tell her I came and give her this. (It's a note with a bag.)
Grace: Ok! Thanks for coming Bye. (Close door. To Serena) Serena: Ash gave you something. (Serena comes down. Reads the note.)
Grace: what does the note say?
Serena (Reads out loud): Serena, I remember you from before, do you remember me? I know that the situation seems bad. Listen for a minute, the girls and my teammates were trying to get me to say those things. I would never wanted to say those things. I know that you will not forgive me but here are a few tokens of my gratitude. My game jersey, an all access passes to my team, and tickets for you and your friends to watch the game on next Friday. The championship game. I also want to tell you that you were the first one that supported me in my life. My life has been miserable. Strict step mom, an uncaring dad, a hatred brother, teasing teammates, fans that smother me, a whole line of ex's. I love you Serena Greenfield. (Hears music playing. They go out. Sees Ash singing.)
Ash: Do you forgive me?
Serena: Yes! I forgive you.
Ash: When can we meet to practice?
Serena: Why not here (kisses Ash.)
Grace: Ash spent the night here.
Ash: Ok! (He slept in the guest room due to being Grace's concern. Ash goes home for the day to practice and studying. That night.)
Flannery: Where were you last night?
Ash: I drove to the library to study.
Flannery: Ash, Why were you not at school today?
Ash: Preparing for the game on Friday and some test tomorrow.
Flannery: Ok! Just checking. (That night was easy for Ash no more questions about that day. Flannery asks Ursula,
Flannery: Have you seen Ash lately?
Ursula: No I have not.
Flannery: Meet me at the school in 10 minutes
Ursula: Ok! You know that your son is giving up everything to be with a girl?
Flannery: Is it you?
Ursula: No! (Now to The school with Flannery, Ursula, and Cilan.)
Flannery (Mad): Ursula tell me everything now.
Ursula: Well! You know the cult of girlfriends.
Flannery: Yah!
Ursula: So the rejects got hold of her. You know he sings.
Flannery: No! He sings?
Ursula: Yah! He sings about his life and struggles. That girl heard it and they fell in love when singing. The others saw it as a threat so they tore the relationship apart.
Flannery: So, its over.
Ursula: No! The gang got them back together. Ash went to Serena's house to get her trust back. It worked, to well. They even allowed him to sleep over there.
Flannery: That witch, he lied to me. So, what is happening with them?
Ursula: They have their own clubs they are in. They also have a call back tomorrow.
Flannery: No son of mine is going to do a silly singing or dance. Ursula you know we must stop it.
Ursula: How? The call back is tomorrow, the game and their decathlon are on Friday.
Flannery: How about we get Fantina to move the date of the audition to Friday.
Cilan: Sorry for being rude, but would it be better if we just give them a chance. You two are running Ash's life. He grown a pair and is trying to be his own person. Very inspirational.
Ursula: Shut Up! You wad. (Cilan is mad and leaves.)
Cilan: Give them their chance. (They go to Fantina. She is at the stage preparing for the call back.)
Ursula: We need to change the date of the call back.
Fantina: Why? I want to give everyone, who wants to shine, have a fair chance at showing it.
Ursula: That's it, Ash and Serena do not really want it, and they have their own clubs they are in.
Fantina: I know. Serena is in the Decathlon and Ash is playing Basketball.
Ursula: If they want to be part of the lead, they should at least be part of the drama club.
Fantina: I said no! Leave or I will call security.
Ursula: Listen for me this one time. They will ruin the play, this club, and our reputation.
Fantina: If I do this will you two shut up and leave.
Ursula: Happy to oblige.
Fantina: Ok! Now go before I call security. (They leave. Fantina sits.) My, my, my, this is going to be on hell of a day. (Now to Ash arriving to School that day.)
Ash: What's up?
Serena: We have a problem.
Ash: What? (Everyone else looks at the paper.)
Drew: Call Backs have been moved to Friday. Hope every one says fabulous.
Serena: Who would do something like this?
Ash: I know who did this.
Leaf: If she aged backwards, curled her, and grew and attitude.
May: Who?
Ash: My wretched, excuse me witch mom Flannery and her dream girl for me Ursula.
Leaf: I just described Ursula, but what is with Flannery.
Dawn: Why?
Ash: Thy want to run my life as usual. Ask Drew and Gary. They know it all.
May: I should know, I was part of it and see it from the outside. Ash is speaking the truth.
Gary: We have to come up with a way to get you two there to sing, but how?
May: We can sabotage our events so that we can get there when it starts.
Ash: How! My mom has eyes everywhere so that way she can keep tabs on me. (Points to a camera.)
Dawn: I know we can have wild Pokémon stampede into both events and make it look like a wild charge.
Drew: Great plan. Lets break up. May, Dawn, Paul, and I are going to go catch wild Pokémon. Gary, Misty, Tracy, and Iris are going to work on creating ways to get them into the area while looking like a wild charge.
Ash: What about Serena and I.

The two come on wit the music comes on. They move to the center of the stage. They sing and talk at the same time to have this conversation.)
Cilan: Where's Ash and Serena?
Ursula: I don't know probably at the game and the Scholastic Decathlon.
Cilan: Did you have anything to do with this?
Ursula: No! (Cilan looks at her sternly.) Maybe (Same look from Cilan.) Yes! I made her change the date of this so we can win. Also I could have Ash and Flannery can still have her dreams.
Cilan: I will not stop sing and dance for this but I will make you two pay. (Now to the decathlon.)
Rowan: For question 1 we have Serena and Georgia. The question is on the board. You have 10 minutes to answer this question. When you are finished press the button and we will see if you got it correctly. If you fail to answer it correctly the points will go to the other team. Take your time to answer, check before pressing the button. If you are both still working when the 10 minutes are up. We will see who was closer to the answer. (Grace walks in and sits in a chair.) When I say begin start on the question. (Looks down at his watch. Waits a few seconds.)
Begin! (Both Serena and Georgia starts answering the question. Now to the game. There are 4:15 minutes in the first quarter. Gary is on the bench. He went to tie his shoes but he pressed a button to release 30 Tauros into the Gymnasium. Ash stands there watching the action. Drew nudge him to get out to the theater. Now to the Theater The song is halfway done. Fantina is enjoying the song. Now to the Decathlon. Serena just finished the question within 5 minutes. The Rowan looks at the board. Georgia can only watch because Serena stopped the timer. Rowan points to Serena's side. May then goes down to tie her shoe because she is next. She presses a button that releases 30 stantler into the room. Serena runs out and drops her jacket. Rowan is leading the others out. Now to the gym.)

Fantina: Sorry, but rules are rules. (The crowed from the other events showed up.) What is this?
Ursula: Are they here to see Ash and Serena. If they are that is not fair. (Crowd starts chanting Ash and Serena) You cant let them go. They missed their chance.
Cilan: I held my mouth shut for too long. Let them go. (The crowd chants "Let them Go."

Flannery: Everything! Ash will be out of shape for the game, his reputation will be gone, and he will not have the girlfriend of his dreams.
Gary: If I may something, Ash will be fine for the game at most he will lose 10 minutes of training which does not hurt anyone, he will have more respect here then ever, and I see a great girlfriend for him, she is standing next to him.
Flannery: Ash, come here now. I am not discussing it. (Volkner and Norman grabs Flannery and drags her off the stage.) Let me go! I must save my son. Let me Go!
