Drake and Josh are getting very excited… Once again, their parents, Walter and Audrey Parker-Nichols trusted them with the house while they went on vacation to Hawaii for a week. After the last experience while on their Mexican cruise, they were hesitant to let them do it again. Or so the boys thought…

Scene I: Drake and Josh's bedroom… Late afternoon

Drake is sitting on the couch working on another song. He's feeling that his current catalog of songs has run its course, and he needed some fresh riffs to get himself excited about performing again. As he tries melodies on his vintage black and white Rickenbacher guitar, nothing seems to be inspiring him… He's in a rut, and he sees no way out, at least for now.

Josh has just entered the room after an early shift at the Premiere. He looks very tired, much too tired for someone working a day shift. He takes off his vest and collapses on his bed. His body aches and his eyes can barely stay open.

Drake: You can't possibly be tired! It's only 6:00! I told you you need to work out more!

Josh: You don't know what I had to deal with today! Crazy Steve called in sick, Tim decided to take naps on the roof, Helen was in and out all day because of some corporate bullshit, and Gavin was…. Well, he was Gavin. There were birthday parties today, Drake… LOTS OF BIRTHDAY PARTIES! Chuck E. Cheddar's was probably a ghost town. I've never seen so many little kids in one place in my life!

Drake: And I missed all that? Ha ha, sucks for you!

Josh: I don't think I can move an inch. I'm exhausted! I think I'll go to sleep. Can you wake me up next week sometime?

Drake: I've got something that will perk you right up. Are you ready, Josh?

Josh: If you play that guitar within 10 miles of me, I will stick it right up your ass!

Drake: No, dumbass… I've got something better than my stellar guitar skills…

Josh: This had better be good, I'm quickly losing consciousness…

Drake: Mom and Dad are going on another vacation… We're free men once again!

Josh: As much as I thoroughly enjoyed our adventure in LA, please don't tell me you've got something up your sleeve. I'm perfectly fine just hanging out at home. Mindy can come over, we can have dinner, and you can come and go as you please. If you feel the need to go back to LA and have another adventure, go right ahead… But LEAVE ME OUT OF IT!

Drake: Yeah, my ears are still ringing from when Mom and Dad found out. Did you know that Dad has the same vein that pops out of his neck just like you? It must be a Nichols thing.

Josh: Ha ha, very funny. Yet another hereditary annoyance… I thought it would stop at the dandruff and the goofiness.

Drake: Oh, I'm sure there's more than that on your horizon.

Josh: Drake… shut u…..

Megan throws open their door. She always comes in unannounced. She figures that she has the upper hand with her brothers all the time, so anytime she can catch them off guard is a good time in her book.

Megan: Hey Boobs!

Drake: Megan! Knock please! What if I had a girl up here?

Josh: Megan, I'm too tired to yell. What do you want?

Megan: Looks like you're little "vacation" away from Mom and Dad won't be such a vacation after all.

Drake: What?

Josh: Heh? (in a fatigued tone)

Megan: Mom and Dad are going to Hawaii by themselves. They thought that I was old enough to stay home with you guys this time. I'm figuring that I need to keep you guys out of trouble. Ha ha ha… I'm your babysitter!

Drake: The only reason why we got in trouble is because we had to get you out of LA, remember?

Megan: And who put me on the wrong plane in the first place?

Drake: Oh.

Megan: Yeah, "oh". So, looks like you guys are stuck with me for a whole week. Wait, come to think of it? I guess it's me stuck with you guys… Whatever. It should be an "eventful" week for you two. Later Boobs.

Megan exits with an evil cackle.

Josh: Well, it doesn't matter to me. I planned on staying home and chilling all week anyway. Because Megan and Mindy get along so well, I think I might be ok. You're the one who should be worried.

Drake: Oh, I won't be worried. She's pulled so many pranks on us that I don't think she has any original ideas left. I've kept track of every single prank. I'm prepared for anything.

Josh: Really? Anything?

Drake: Anything.

Josh: Ok, I'm sleeping now.

Josh puts his head on his pillow and immediately begins snoring. Drake returns his attention to his uninspirational Rickenbacher. Why won't the songs just come to me, he thinks to himself… Frustrated, he heads downstairs to find out what's for dinner.
