The Ding

Before you read the story, I need to explain something. The ding-ding (as it is called in the story) is what I call the bell. At my school when the bell rings it sounds more like a ding. So that is how it got it's name.

[The scene opens in the gymnasium at North Mesquite High School.]

Mike Henson: Howdy.

Jessica Peters: There's a hurricane a-cumin'!

Mike: Everybody duck!!!!!

[A couple of people duck and hit their heads on the bleachers.]

Mike: Sorry everybody.

Scott Adkins [rubbing his head]: Why did you say that?

Mike: Jessica said that there was a hurricane coming.

Jan Beizert: Blah.

Scott: Well, I guess that's ok.

Brittaney Ingram: Are ya'll ready for the football game!

Jan: Blah?

Narrator: Are you shure that's not supposed to be a question mark?

Brittaney: What? Oops. Are ya'll ready for the football game?

Jessica: Brittaney, it's a basketball game!

Brittaney: Oh.

[A giant ten-legged spider walks by the group of people.]

Scott: I wonder who's going to win.

[Karmon Benbrook walks in and sits with them.]

Karmon: Did anyone see that new police officer that was walking around.

Jan: No.

Narrator: Stop changing the punctuation!

Karmon: Sorry.

Narrator: It's ok as long as it doesn't happen again.

[Kasey Childers walks in with Russell McLaughlin.]

Karmon: Hey Kasey! Come and sit here with us.

Russell: We were planning on sitting with Brian and Kara Fonville, but maybe next time.

Jan: But Kasey hates Brian.

Kasey: Oh, that's right! Ok, we'll sit down here with ya'll.

Mike and Jan together: Blah!

Jessica: Oh God, not you too.

Kasey: How are you?

Mike: Sorry, I couldn't help it.

Brittaney: La di da.

Jan: I'm great. How is everyone else?

Scott: Stop singing. You can't sing worth crap!

Brittaney: I can too.

Jessica: No you can't. Trust me.

[Ben Jones appears out of nowhere.]

Ben: I just pantsed this girl again. Wait! How did I get here?

Mike: HAHAHA!!! I wonder if you are going to be suspended again.

Ben: That's not funny!

Karmon: Yes it is. Oh look, here comes Mrs. Childers.

[Mrs. Childers walks in.]

Mrs. Childers: Kasey, did you finish your homework?

Karmon: I did it for her...oops. [She runs away from the group to sit with Brian and Kara.]

Mrs. Childers: KASEY, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!!!

Scott: Watch out everybody!!

[Mrs. Childers gets so mad that she turns into a dog and starts to chase Kasey around the gym.]

Mrs. Childers-dog-thing: Woof!

[Colin Ferrell falls out of the air and hits the bleachers with a loud 'thud.' He then stands up and runs out of the room as the Mrs. Childers-dog- thing turns to chase him.]

Mike: Did anyone see that spider walk by?

Everyone else: No.

Mike: Oh well.

[Kara Fonville walks over and sits down.]

Kara: Was that dog Mrs. Childers?

Jessica: Didn't you know that whenever she gets mad she turns into a dog?

Kara: No.

Jan: Blah!

Scott: Oh no, not again.

Jan: Blah blah blah.

Brittaney: And that's all we ever hear come out of your mouth.

Jan: BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben: Hey everyone, the game is about to start!

[The announcer comes on the loud speaker.]

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, lllllllllet's get ready to rrruuummmbbbllleee!!!

Narrator: You have got to be kidding me.

Announcer: Just joking people. Are you ready to see the best basketball game of the year?

Crowd: Wahoo!!! Yeah!!!!

[Mike gets tapped on the shoulder and turns around to see his boyfriend Deke Ross standing behind him.]

Mike: Deke, you made it!!!!!!!!!

Deke: Of course I made it. I wouldn't miss the opportunity to spend time with you.

Jan: I hate this next part.

Announcer: And to start the game, let's all look up at the ding-ding on the wall and watch it go off.

[The entire crowd turns their head to look and Jan covers her ears with her hands. The ding-ding gives a loud shudder and dings one time. The crowd all turn to look at each other with confused looks because the ding-ding has never done this before. They all notice for the first time that a shiny, new ding-ding rests in the place where their old, dirty, tarnished ding- ding used to hang. A laughter rises in the air and the crowd turns to see (evil-name-of-your-choice) standing by the door holding the old ding-ding.]

(Evil-Name-of-Your-Choice): Hahaha! I have the old ding-ding. You will never see it again. Hahaha!! [The Mrs. Childers-dog-thing walks up behind and bites him on the butt.] Ouch!!! [Dr. Evil voice]Who brings a dog to a basketball game, honestly?

Kasey: That's my mom!

(Evil-Name-of-Your-Choice): Haha! No wonder you are so ugly! Haha! [The Mrs. Childers-dog-thing turns back into Mrs. Childers and she whacks (evil- name-of-your-choice) on the side of the head.]

Mrs. Childers: Don't talk about my daughter like that!

(Evil-Name-of-Your-Choice): Ouch!!!!! I'm outta here. [With a loud bang, he disappears into thin air.]

Kasey: Thanks mom.

Mrs. Childers: I'm still mad at you for having Karmon do your homework.

Kara: Hey guys, we have other things to worry about right now. How are we going to get the ding-ding back and restore it to its rightful place on the wall?

[Karmon and Brian walk over to the others.]

Brian: We have to get it back. Come on! It's morphin' time!

Mike: Brian, we are not the Power Rangers. We are the Commando Elite.

Scott: No we aren't! We are a bunch of high school students.

Jessica: We can use our smarts to overpower (evil-name-of-your-choice).

Brittaney: What smarts?

Ben: We need the power of band instruments! Everyone to the band hall!!!

[They all run out the door towards the band hall while the scene cuts away to blackness.]
