The Audience was huge. Everyone wanted to see who would win and what acts would be presented. The Announcer and Organizer Phoebe appeared on the stage.
Phoebe: Now I like you all to give it up for: Arnold, Gerald, Sid, and Stinky singing and dancing N' Sync "This I Promise You."
Gerald:
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
Was standing here all along
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
Stinky:
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
Sid, Arnold, Gerald and Stinky:
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you, baby
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
I promise you
~Arnold, Gerald pose back to back at the ending. Sid does a split while Stinky bows. Then they all get up, blowing kisses to the crowd and go to their seats as the crowd roars with applause~
Phoebe: Wasn't that great. Let's give a round of applause for this "This I Promise You!" (The crowd applauses madly.) Okay, settle down. All right our next act is done by. Wait a second. Is this right? Our next act is going to be done by Brainy in a few minutes. Everyone can take a break now and the snacks and drinks are on the right.
Phoebe smiles and walks through the curtain. "Phoebe you did great," greeted Gerald. "So did you Gerald. You did a really great harmony," replies Phoebe as both Gerald and Phoebe blush. A scream is heard and interrupts their moment. Arnold is seen holding Lila. Rhonda is screaming like mad and Nadine is trying to calm her down. "What happened here? "Questions Phoebe as she drags Gerald along with her over to the fallen Lila and the screaming Rhonda.
Suddenly Helga runs in: "Would you shut up!" Rhonda glares at Helga and shuts her mouth. "Finally, can someone tell us what's going on?" Asks Gerald since Phoebe is still holding his hand and now he's getting impatient and wants to know what's going on. "Oh sorry you guys. Lila tripped somehow, and broke her foot while she was walking with Arnold. (Helga starts whistling innocently) Now she can't walk and that means, she can't dance with us for our act. What are we gonna do?" Explains Nadine as she looks down at the worried Arnold and Lila touching her foot in pain. "Let me look at that," mutters Phoebe as she observes Lila's foot. "Well, it doesn't seem to be broken. I think it's just a sprain. Someone go call Lila's parents to come pick her up. I know some medical techniques so I'll take care of Lila and Gerald you can go on for me. All right hop to it!" Commanded Phoebe as she grabs a scarf and wraps it around tightly over Lila's foot and lays her down on an old couch used for plays. "Who's gonna be the fourth person in our act? Lila is one of the lead singers." Complains Rhonda as she looks over at Arnold and Phoebe.
"Well, I guess someone else has to take her place." Answers Arnold since Phoebe was too busy tending Lila. "We need someone who can sing and fit in Lila's costume," murmurs Nadine as Arnold, Gerald and even Rhonda are left pondering. Suddenly out of the blue, Harold runs in and bumps into Helga. "I called Lila's parents," he mumbles as he falls down. ( I didn't manage Harold. Did I? Well, now I did. Deal with it. Plus, someone had to call Lila's parents. I almost forgot about that.) "Watch where you going Moron!" yells Helga as she pushes Harold away from her. "Helga!?" shouts Arnold as everyone turns to him. Before Arnold can say anything, Lila buts in. "I'm ever so grateful for your help Phoebe. And thank you for calling my parents Harold. (Now that everyone attention was lifted from him, ran away, not wanting to be beat up by Helga.) Your right Arnold, Helga is perfect for the job. She can take my place." "What! No way!" refuses Helga as her eyes widens and she backs away from the group.
"Come on Helga. This is for everyone. At least do it for Phoebe, the Talent is practically here because of her so if it goes wrong. They're blame her. So chill out and deal with it. I gotta go. I'm go.'' Argues Gerald. "Fine I do it. Just don't me do anything stupid." Confirms Helga as Rhonda and Nadine drags her away. "We don't have time, we gotta practice with Gloria and give you a whole new look." Affirmed Rhonda as she drags the screaming Helga: "No one told me, there be a makeover!" Arnold and Gerald chuckle and do their secret handshake till Phoebe gives them a look that clearly says Back Off. Gerald remembers he was supposed to be on stage and runs off while Arnold is standing there dazed and confused. "I never knew Helga could dance and could be helpful." mumbles Arnold as he walks off to his seat missing Phoebe's whisper: "There's a lot of things you don't know about Helga Arnold. If only you weren't so dense." Lila nods her head, clearly in agreement and falls asleep. (I guess the couch she was on was pretty comfortable.)
Gerald: Due to some difficultly people, there be a couple of changes such as: Lila shall be replaced by Helga Pataki. And Phoebe shall be replaced by me. And now time for the act you been waiting for: Brainy singing: I Can Go The Distance," ( Phoebe in backstage thinking: Wasn't that the song Helga was gonna sing? Oh Helga. Why do you hide your giving nature from everyone else?
Brainy:
I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a great warm welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be
I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mild
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
to feel like I belong
I am on my way
I can go the distance
I don't care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to find where I belong
* Brainy bows as the audience cheers and Brainy beams then walks off the stage. *
Gerald: Wasn't that great folks? The act will be By Lila, Rhonda, Nadine, and Helga singing and dancing to Destiny's Child: "Bootylicious" Then the last act will be shown to the public. Now everyone take 30 minute break. We'll be right.
Gerald walks backstage spotting a sleeping Lila being lift by her parents to go home and a sleeping Phoebe who fell, asleep in her chair making sure Lila was okay. Gerald walks over to her pushes her on the couch and kisses her forehead.( Now you know I love for Gerald and Phoebe to be together.) Gerald pulls back, blushing and bumps into Arnold before he could speak. A loud noise is heard.
