COLD OPENING:
FADE IN:
INT. DIGITAL BEAN-DAY
We see GORDO at the counter when up comes MIRANDA to sit next to him, excited.
MIRANDA
(excited)
You'll never guess what happened.
GORDO
Lip gloss is half off at the mall...
MIRANDA
I'm serious Gordo.
GORDO
So shoot.
MIRANDA
You're looking at the lead in the new school musical.
GORDO
(worried)
As in, on stage? Uh, you do remember the last time you tried that?
CLIP: RANDOM ACTS OF MIRANDA
Miranda being a bad actress.
BACK TO SCENE
MIRANDA
(unconcerned)
Gordo, it's a musical. I sing. No worries.
GORDO
Well, hey. Congratulations.
MIRANDA
Thank you, thank you.
At that moment enter LIZZIE, who is also excited.
LIZZIE
You'll never believe what happened!
GORDO
Already know.
LIZZIE
(confused)
You do?
MIRANDA
Yep. I got the lead in the school musical.
LIZZIE
Oh, really? That's great Miranda. But that's not what I wanted to tell you guys.
MIRANDA
So, spill.
LIZZIE
(excited)
Gemstar Records called. They saw me at the International Music Video Awards and-get this-they want to sign me to a recording deal!
GORDO
(stunned)
A record deal? As in money?
ANIMATED LIZZIE
Fame, fortune, here I come!
GORDO
Wow Lizzie. That's great.
LIZZIE
I know. I'm so excited!
While Lizzie's happy and Gordo's happy for her, a strange cast has come over Miranda's features.
MIRANDA
Yeah Lizzie, that's fantastic...
GORDO
So, when does all this happen?
LIZZIE
The record company's having the papers drawn up right now. My first session is next week.
(beat)
Of course, I want you guys to be there with me.
MIRANDA
You bet...
While happy for Lizzie, the 'green eyed monster' is starting to take root in Miranda.
