Episode 27: The Play-Showtime!
CHAPTER 1: LET THE SHOW BEGIN!
When we were tiny little boys
We used to dance, we used to sing
Before we even learned to crawl or walk
As we grew up we didn't change
I guess we knew right from the start
We'd loved the spotlight and the stage
Cause we were born to entertain
And when we walk out on the stage
The way we feel deep inside
Is something magic when the music starts to play
We want to bring a little happiness and love into your lives
Forget about your problems and your troubles for a little while
We're here to entertain you
On stage right now
We're here to entertain you
Right here, right now
We like to dance, we like to sing
And do our thing
We like to dance, we like to sing
We like to do our thing
There's no business
Like show business
There's no business
Like show business
We're here to entertain you
On stage right now
We're here to entertain you
Right here, right now
On stage right now
Right here, right now
On stage right now
The day of the show had arrived. And everyone had come to see the show. Even Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Franco, Hans, Claudia (who wore her ear protectors for her sensitive ears), Franklin, Melanie, Cobra, Rattler, Thibault, and even Freddy Fabulous all came to see the Birchwood kids put on the show. As Snoopy and his brothers, Spike, Andy, and Olaf, danced for the crowd through the aisles with Dolores accompanying them on guitar, the main acts were gearing up for their performances backstage.
Schroeder was pacing back and forth with nervousness. He didn't want anything to go wrong with the performance. Lucy was trying to calm him down.
"Relax, babe," she said. "Everything will go fine. Don't worry."
"Sorry, Lucy," Schroeder began, "but I can't help it. We worked so hard to get here. I just want it to go right."
"It will, sweetheart," assured Lucy. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown and Frieda were having a conversation of their own.
"Are you nervous, Frieda?" asked Charlie Brown.
"A little, sweetie," Frieda replied. "But I'm ready for my performance. And I can't wait to see what your cousin, Trevor, has in store for his performance."
"I can't wait, either. For a while a few of us had our doubts that he would come. Not to mention all of the drama we had these past few weeks. I'm ready for some fun."
"And tonight we will have plenty of it, baby!" Frieda hugged her boyfriend lovingly. Charlie Brown smiled. Even though they had been together almost two years, he still couldn't believe he had gotten that lucky to have a girl as wonderful as Frieda. And everyone took their places for the show.
