Chapter 3

Scaredy Bat:Oh dear,oh dear,oh dear,oh dear!

Ruby:(gives him a cup of hot tea)Here you go Scaredy!A nice cup of tea will calm your frazzled nerves!

Scaredy:But what are we going to do?

Frank:(he moans in frustration)I have to agree with the little dude!How are we going to find a base guitar player AND a keyboardist?

Len:Simple!We ask them to!

Frank:Len,who would want to...

Ruby:That is a great idea,Len!

Frank and Len:IT IS?

Ruby:Since I am the editor of the school newspaper which is very popular among our generation,I can put up an advertisement to catch the eyes of talented musicians!

Poe:Yes and thanks to Jealousy zapping an elephant in the theatre...(he glares at her as she whistles innocently)the 'Battle of the Bands has been delayed for 3 days!

Skull Boy:How many people do you think we will get?

...

Peter:(in a sharp-looking tuxedo and has fake facial hair)(speaks into a golden microphone)And that was our 5000th participant!(looks sympathetic)Sorry,Larry but you didn't make it!

Larry:(he's wearing a clown suit while riding on a unicycle)(his shoulder drop in disappointment)Aww...

Ruby:(at the judges table)You have to admit,spraying water at Misery was quite funny until she slipped and broke 150 bones...!

Misery:(in crutches)I'm good!

Iris:Hey!That's my catchphrase!

Misery:I'm not good...!

Ruby:It will only take...(checks her abacus)5!

Scaredy Bat:5 minutes?

Ruby:No...

Iris:5 days?

Ruby:No

Jealousy:5 days?

Ruby:No...

Misery:On the fifth anniversary of my great,great,great grandmother's first blister?

Ruby:No...but is she alright?

Misery:Somewhat...

Skull Boy:5 years?

Ruby:No...wait!(looks at her abacus)yes!

Scaredy Bat:(faints)
