Got a band that's really cool, stealing words from you know who, playing gigs when we can, trying to impress our fans. Younger brother goes berserk. His temper is his biggest quirk. I got a plan that might just work. Now, we're gonna rock and we're gonna roll. We are Grojband.
Whoa-oa-oa!
(Mina, Carrie, and Nick watching a record spinning)
Nick: So it spins, and music just plays?
Mina: Yep. It came before CDs.
Carrie: You mean coasters?
(Mina uses a CD as a coaster)
Nick: And what came before records?
Mina: Nothing. I think it was always just records.
(Katrina opens the garage door and comes in with the chicken pox)
Katrina: Good news everyone, I have chicken pox!
Nick: How is that good news? We can't play gigs if you're all poxed up.
Katrina: That's exactly the kind of thinking keeping us poxers down. We need to bring awareness to the fact that the pox rocks by throwing a party!
Nick: But Kat, the chicken pox are majorly contagious.
Carrie: Chicken pox isn't contagious. My new dance moves are contagious.
(Carrie starts dancing which gets herself and Mina infected with the chicken pox)
Mina: Come on contain it.
(Mina gives Nick chicken pox)
Nick: See? They're already spreading! Kat, nobody's going to come to this party, knowing they'll get chicken pox.
Katrina: Then why's it already happening?
(The garage door opens and a bunch of kids is there with the chicken pox cheering)
Katrina: I told them I'd give them the pox and they'd get a week off school. What could go wrong?
(Chicken Pox-A-Itching)
(Kin is reading Cole a bedtime story in Cole's Room)
Kin: And then Prince Cole gave Princess Laney a kiss and they lived happily ever after.
Cole: Thanks kin. Time to nap, but first, I want a drink of still water.
(Cole snaps his fingers and Kin instantly runs off and comes back with a glass of still water)
Students (Off-screen): Pox!
(The sound of the students cheering causes the water in the glass to ripple)
Cole: Kin! If I wanted rippling water, I would have said so!
Students (Off-screen): Pox! Pox! Pox! Pox! Pox!
Cole: Ugh! What are they chanting?
(Cole and Kin go out on the balcony and look out into the garage)
Students (Off-screen): Pox! Pox! Pox!
(It is revealed that the chanting is coming from Katrina, Carrie, and the other students form their school)
Students: Pox! Pox! Pox!
Students (Off-screen): Pox!
Cole: They're saying "Pox!" I've never had the chicken pox! There's no way that plague pile is getting near me and there's, even more, no way Katrina's band is gonna make a cool gig out of it! Kin, hotline phone!
(Kin hands Cole the hotline phone)
(Mayor Barney is seen having a picnic with Mother Barney; Mayor Barney's hat phone rings and he picks it up)
Mayor Barney: Hellow. Spots? Scratching? Say no more! It's happening Mother. The pox of chicken has come to Peaceville. I'm the only things standing between this city and a raging contagion.
(Mayor Barney runs off but trips over a plate of hot dogs, making him fall flat on his face)
Mayor Barney: Ugh!
(Katrina is in the garage making an announcement to the students)
Katrina: So we're poxed. Are we not human? Do we not bleed when we scratch? The pox isn't the worst and it's time everyone knows it.
(The students are seen in a conga line where they're scratching each other's backs)
Nick: Um, Kat? Rocking the pox might be easier with you know, some lyrics!
Katrina: Don't have a cow like in a "barn". Why are you always trying to burst our "bubble?"
Nick: Why did you emphasize "barn" and "bubble" in a foreshadowing kind of way?
Katrina: Did I? I thought it was punnier than foreshadowing.
(Cole and Kin are outside of the house)
Cole: I would love to see Katrina's face when she realizes her diseased party is -
(Cole and Kin crash into a something)
Cole: Kin, why is this air so hard?
(Mayor Barney comes out of a bush and reveals that he's trapped the house inside of a bubble)
Mayor Barney: This pox house is trouble and trouble belongs in a bubble.
Cole: What? You're quarantining me?
Mayor Barney: Quarantine is such a hard word to spell, but yes, for nine days and no one scratches. Over there you'll find anti-scratch mitts and scary outbreak suits.
(Screen shows boxes full of electric mittens and hazmat suits)
Cole: You can't do this and junk.
Mayor Barney: Then why's it already happening?
(Cole and Kin go into the house wearing the hazmat suits and carrying the box of electric mittens)
Cole: Time to stop with the scratching.
(Cole gives the anti-scratch mittens to everyone and everyone gets horribly shocked every time they try to scratch themselves)
Katrina: Well, this is a shocking turn of events.
Cole: Your sickly swarthy is under quarantine for like nine days. No escape and like, no scratching.
Katrina: If we can't scratch, we'll just make the party fun again by playing our instruments, which I am going to point at with both hands, right now.
(Katrina points to her instruments and Cole puts anti-scratch mittens on her and the rest of the band)
Katrina: What?
Cole: Have fun trying to thrash this bash with your hands and bands. Now I'm bored. Calling Barney was your worst idea ever Kin. Learn to think of a better one!
Kin: Uhh, you could ... talk to beautiful Laney Penn!
(Laney is seen talking to a group of admiring students)
Laney: Laney says the secret to a cool lean, is not needing anything to lean on.
Cole: Cool lean Laney. Oven mitts? Hey, why don't you have the pox?
Laney: Laney does have the poxes. Laney just doesn't do spots.
(Laney gets spots on her arm and then uses the glorious glow of her eyes to make them disappear)
Laney: Laney says, later spots.
Nick: How we gonna rock out now Kat? Our music makers are all caged up?
Katrina: Kind of wish I hadn't invited the school party critic now.
Nick: You invited Party Danimal!?
(Party Danimal is seen reviewing the party)
Party Danimal: Good party space: Check, Original theme: Check, Costumes provided:
(Party Danimal gets the chicken pox)
Party Danimal: Check.
Nick: Don't you remember what happened to the Tanana sisters when their stomach flu themed party failed?
(Nick pulls out a flashback of the Tanana sisters' party)
Party Danimal: So much puke, so little guac. Party fail!
(Flashback ends)
Nick: He gave it his lowest party rating ever: Awesome, out of a possible ten awesomes.
Katrina: Come on, it's not that bad.
Party Danimal: A pox party with no scratching? This shindig is sailing for a failing.
Katrina: On second thought, Mina what do you have that can get these mitts off?
Mina: Hmm, chainsaw?
Katrina: Dangerous, irresponsible, perfect! You girls bust out of the bubble and get the chainsaw while Nick and I get everybody's minds off the pox.
(Mina and Carrie take off)
Nick: How do you suggest we get people's minds off the pox without music?
(Katrina takes out a book)
Katrina: Daddy-o's annual party manual 50's edition.
(Everyone gathers around Katrina and Nick as they bake up potato on the oven)
Katrina: Hot potato. Hold it till it burns, then pass it on, lesson learned. Go!
(Katrina gives the potato to Nick and it has no effect)
Nick: The oven mitts kind of take the urgency out of hot potato Kat.
Katrina: So they do, but it's nothing a game of charades can't fix.
(Everyone is surrounding Katrina when they play charades but because of Katrina's oven mitt, nobody can tell how many fingers she's holding up)
Student (Off-screen): One word, two words, three, four, five, six?
Party Danimal: The only conceivable answer is "super lame Grojband Chicken Pox Part-Ay."
(Nick smacks his forehead, electrocuting him with the oven mitt)
(Oven mitts are Ouchy)
(Mina and Carrie are in bikes at the top of a ramp)
Mina: Ready to launch through that bubble sis?
Carrie: Affirmative.
Mina: On your mark, get set,
(Mina and Carrie fly down the ramp)
Mina/Carrie: AAAAAAAAAAAH!
(Mina and Carrie slam into the bubble, but instead if penetrating it, they stretch it out)
Mayor Barney: This isn't the first time I've trapped kids in a bubble girls.
(Mina and Carrie are flung back into the garage door)
Mina/Carrie: Oof!
(Back to Katrina and Nick)
Katrina: Well, setting up a rusty garden tool scratching center didn't work.
(People painfully cutting themselves with rusty garden tools)
Nick: Face it, these prehistoric games just aren't cutting it.
Party Danimal: The girl is right. This party is deader than a playful possum. So, my rating has to be double awesome.
Nick: Double awesome? We're ruined!
Katrina: Maybe we're going about this wrong. Just because the party can't scratch doesn't mean we can't. Now, where's that turntable? Hmm...
(Katrina puts her hand on her chin to think, electrocuting herself with the oven mitt)
Katrina: AAAAAAAAAHHH!
(Mina and Carrie drill a hole through the ground with a circular blade placed on a record player)
(Mayor Barney dumps boiling wax down upon them)
Mayor Barney: Boiling wax. Is there any hole you can't plug?
(Mina and Carrie dive out of the hole and come back into the garage again)
Mina: Whoa! We were almost wax statues!
Carrie: I'd look more surprised but my eyebrows are gone.
(Katrina takes the record player)
Katrina: Yoink! I'm gonna need this for a little scratch fest. All we need now are some lyrics.
Nick: And how do you suggest we get them?
(Cuts to Cole and Laney)
Cole: It's so double like extra cool!
Laney: Laney just puts her weight in Laney's elbow and his cool in Laney's chest for balance.
Cole: Like this?
(Cole falls to the floor)
Cole: Oof!
Laney: No.
Katrina: We need to prove that the pox rocks and I know just the someone who'd love to get poxy.
(Wicked cool transition)
Katrina: I know you're all angry but let's not forget what this party is about. To show that the pox rocks.
Party Danimal: What do you get for us pox pusher?
(Katrina takes out a bottle)
Katrina: Spin the bottle!
Cole (Off-screen): AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(Cole shoves through some kids and rushes up to the game)
Cole: Spin the bottle? I'm in!
Kin: But you'll get the chicken pox.
Cole: No, I'll get the love bug. Fact.
(Cole sees all the students at the party)
Cole: Listen to me you flaky skinned dorks, this game in invite only and you've all been like outvited!
Students: Awww.
(Cole plays spin the bottle with only Laney as another player ready to kiss her. Ironically, the bottle lands on him)
Cole: Kin!
(Kin picks up Laney and carries her over to Cole)
Cole: Lips, its joy time.
(Cole and Laney get ready to kiss and their lips get really close to each other's lips)
Laney's Friend: Hey Laney, look at me for no reason.
(Laney turns her head to look at her friend and Cole is oblivious to it)
Laney's Friend: Thanks.
(Cole kisses Laney's ear and gets infected)
Kin: Cole, Laney is all over your skin.
Cole: YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
(Cole goes into happy Diary Mode with the chicken pox)
Cole: Sigh.
Katrina: Bam! Time to scratch this lame fest into the best party ever list!
(Song begins)
Katrina/Mina/Carrie (Singing): We're stuck in this garage!
Katrina (Singing): Yeah we're locked in! My face is getting itchy and I'm shedding my skin but since we're all here and we've got a dope track, wave your hands in the air from the front to the back! Even though my head is getting very dizzy, I think it's time that we all got busy!
Katrina/Mina/Carrie (Singing): Let's throw down some rhymes and pull up our socks.
Katrina (Singing): Let's say it together! Chickenpox rocks!
Katrina/Mina/Carrie/Students (Singing): Chickenpox rocks!
Katrina (Singing): Yeah It all because of me so you can blame me! I'm stuck in this garage but I'm here with Laney! This ain't so bad cuz' this party is rad!
Katrina/Mina/Carrie (Singing): This maybe the best skin condition I ever had!
Katrina (Singing): This party as seen is under-
Katrina/Mina/Carrie (Singing): quarantine!
Katrina (Singing) And I'm keen to scream this-
Katrina/Mina/Carrie (Singing): Lean mean rap machine!
Katrina (Singing): This beat is pumpin' you know what I mean! So let's party it up!
Katrina/Mina/Carrie (Singing): Until we find a vaccine!
Katrina (Singing): Yo DJ! Scratch it up one time!
Katrina/Mina/Carrie/Students (Singing): Chickenpox rocks! Chickenpox rocks!
Cory/Mina/Carrie (Singing): We're rockin' the pox!
(Song Ends)
Party Danimal: Pox Popped and Locked! This party is officially TEN AWESOME PLUS!
(The band is leaving the house)
Mina: Ahh, best day off school ever.
Carrie: Yep. Didn't learn a thing. Thanks, Katrina.
Katrina: I think we all learned something today.
(Spotlight Shines on Katrina)
Katrina: I think we've learned that some diseases are more fun to have than not to have and the best disease, party fever! Fun to catch, fun to spread, and impossible to stop, all we can do is quarantine ourselves in a party bubble and rock until we're well enough to catch it again.
(Laney looks at him with a serious look)
Mayor Barney: Sounds fun Girl, what are you going to do for the next eight days?
Nick: Yeah Kat
Katrina: Careful Nick, the only cure for party fever is a wet blanket. Thanks for coming out everyone.
(Katrina Closes Garage Door)
