Ext. Lava Springs - Talent Show Stage

The talent show is minutes away, but the round tables are already being filled with guests. Sarox, Troy and Chad take orders from the guests while Marlene and Taylor show the guests to their tables. Zeke and PJ set the food table while the head chef prepares the food with Martha. Kelsi sits at the piano on the stage.

Mr Fulton lifts the microphone.

Mr. Fulton: Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the Lava Springs Country Club Talent Show!

The guests clap; the sound reaches all the way to the kitchen which is empty now.

Mr. Fulton: Tonight, our yearly Star Dazzle Award Winner will show the impression of another one of her singing capabilities that will carry us to the stars. Please welcome to our Star Dazzle Award Winner; Miss Sharpay Evans, with a big applause!

The guests clap with the powerful sound again. Sharpay appears in a pink Saks dress with white Gucci boots and perfectly shaped diamonds as earrings and necklace. She goes on stage and bows to the guests who respond with applause. She heads for the microphone.

Chad: We should've been allowed to be on that stage too.

Troy: Nah. You know, I think we can still have fun without that stage.

Chad: Says the boy who stood on it once.

Sarox: (to Troy) You know, buddy? You're right.

The boys laugh, but Chad is still not pleased with Sharpay standing on-stage.

Song begins: Reaching For the Brightest Star

Sharpay:

Na na ha ha ha!

Na na ha ha ha!

Let's reach for the brightest star.

I can't touch it, but it can't stay afar.

The star-chasing ladder will reach for me!

And take me up to reach...

The star that shines so bright!

Na na ha ha ha!

Na na ha ha ha!

The moon and the sun are such beautiful light,

The pieces of the stars scattered,

Yet light so brightly.

Let's reach for it and make me the shiniest star...

On the Earth.

Ooh, I'm reaching for the brightest star.

Na na ha ha ha!

I'm on the top of the world.

Song ends.

Fulton steps up on the stage to give the award.

Mr. Fulton: Fantastic! Fantastic! Now, if you would please take your seats. I have one last task to do.

The guests sit back down. All the employees look on as Fulton's speech goes on.

Ext. Lava Springs - Golf Course

Gabriella watches the award from the golf course.

Ext. Lava Springs - Talent Show Stage

Mr. Fulton: This year's Star Dazzle Award goes to our one and only...

Suddenly a huge number of (Shadow and Soldier) Heartless appear around the place and Fulton's speech is interrupted and everyone makes a run for their lives.

Sarox: It's the Heartless.

PJ: (aggressively) Let's get hem!

Sharpay is devastated by the outcome of the show that she wouldn't move from her dangerous spot.

Sharpay: (bursts into cries) No! My show! Noooo!

Just then a Heartless jumps up in the air and is about to land on her, but then suddenly...

Sarox: (off-screen) Thunder!

... A lightning bolt drops on it and drives it out of existence. Everyone (including Troy) then turns to the heroes and see that they are carrying weapons: Sarox is holding the Kingdom Key Keyblade, Marlene is holding the Princess Flower Keyblade, Max is holding up a shield which he puts in front of his face, and PJ holds a magic staff in his hand. The battle goes on and everyone separates to fight.

Ext. Lava Springs - Golf Course

Sarox fights the Heartless to the golf course, where he suddenly sees Troy surrounded by an amount of Heartless. Sarox then makes his way through and fends off the Heartless surrounding Troy.

Sarox: Troy, what happened?

Troy: I went to the golf course to find Gabriella. But those monsters took her. I tried to save her, but then they surrounded me.

Sarox: Oh, no. Come on.
