SCENE 4 The Huge Halloween Party at the School
(The Hall is full of kids dressed in various costumes, so much colors! My eyes!)
(The X-Men show up. SCOTT is dressed as Batman [Wow, that guy needs an imagination], ROGUE is a vampire [As if you did not allready know], JEAN is a princess [Little miss perfection], KITTY is dressed as Sailor Moon [Wohoo! Skimpy anime-clothing!] and KURT is dressed as his fuzzy blue self with an addision of a szipper on his back)
(The Brotherhood show up. LANCE is the Phantom of the Opera [Sooo handsome], PIETRO is a pirate [Ok, I'm running out of ideas], TODD is a frog [Bet you didn't see that one coming] and FRED is dressed as a hamburger [I will not say anything, no comments, I need to speak with my lawyer first])
*MASQUERADE (Phantom of the Opera)*
*CHORUS*
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade!
Hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade . . .
Masquerade!
Look around -
there's another
mask behind you!
Flash of mauve . . .
Splash of puce . . .
Fool and king . . .
Ghoul and goose . . .
Green and black . . .
Queen and priest . . .
Trace of rouge . . .
Face of beast . . .
Faces . . .
Take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .
Eye of gold . . .
Thigh of blue . . .
True is false . . .
Who is who . . .?
Curl of lip . . .
Swirl of gown . . .
Ace of hearts . . .
Face of clown . . .
Faces . . .
Drink it in, drink it up,
till you've drowned
in the light . . .
in the sound . . .
*LANCE and KITTY* (Looking for eachother)
But who can name the face . . .?
*CHORUS*
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows,
spinning reds . . .
Masquerade!
Take your fill -
let the spectacle
astound you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances,
turning heads . . .
Masquerade!
Stop and stare
at the sea of smiles
around you!
Masquerade!
Seething shadows
breathing lies . . .
Masquerade!
You can fool
any friend who
ever knew you!
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs,
peering eyes . . .
Masquerade!
Run and hide -
but a face will
still pursue you!
*KITTY*
What a night
*KURT*
Vhat a crowd!
*JEAN*
Makes you glad!
*SCOTT*
Makes you proud!
All the creme
de la creme!
*JEAN*
Watching us watching them!
*KURT*
And all our fears
are in the past!
*KITTY*
Six days...
*JEAN*
Of relief!
*KURT*
Of delight!
*SCOTT*
Of Elysian peace!
*ROGUE*
And we can breathe at last!
*KITTY*
No more looks!
*KURT*
No more screams!
*JEAN*
Here's to health!
*SCOTT*
Here's a toast:
to our prosperous team!
*KITTY*
To a future prom queen!
*ROGUE*
And may our
splendour never fade!
*JEAN*
Six days!
*KITTY*
What a joy!
*KURT*
Vhat a change!
*ROGUE*
What a blessed release!
*SCOTT*
And what a masquerade!
*CHORUS*
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade!
Masquerade!
Hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade!
Masquerade!

(KITTY finds LANCE)
KITTY:
Like, there you are.
LANCE:
Hi Kit- (starts staring at KITTYS skimpy costume) I... I... I... I really like your costume.
KITTY:
Thanks. I wasn't like sure if I should have taken this one or not.
LANCE:
It's great!
KITTY:
Wanna like dance?
LANCE:
Sure! I... I mean, okay, whatever.
(KITTY and LANCE head to the dance floor)
TODD:
Hey Pietro, I thought you were going to this thing with your four girlfriends.
PIETRO:
Nah. The relationship just wasn't working out. All they ever wanted to do was make out with me. I could never get in to an intellectual conversation with them.
TODD:
Too bad for you.
PIETRO:
No worries. I can get a new girlfriends whenever I want. There is an abundance of intelligent young women out there just waiting for me.
TODD:
Jep. Loads of Mary Sues.
PIETRO:
Do not remind of them. Anyway, I am able to make any girl here melt. Just watch.
*CRAZY (Starlight Express)*
*PIETRO*
Where I go the rest better follow,
Look out everybody, move aside.
May go now, or may go tomorrow.
Hold on, I'll take you for a ride!
*GIRLS*
Crazy, can you believe it,
He's crazy, love him or leave him,
He's crazy, going crazy, going crazy!
*PIETRO*
Watch me, see me hit the horizon.
*TARYN*
Take it slowly. What you got to prove?
*PIETRO*
Ride with me you know you've been riding.
No one can move the way I move.
*GIRLS*
Crazy, can you believe it,
He's crazy, love him or leave him,
He's crazy, going crazy, going crazy!
*PIETRO*
You know I'm crazy, yeah!
*GIRLS*
Crazy, can you believe it,
He's crazy, love him or leave him,
He's crazy, going crazy, going crazy!
*PIETRO*
Hold on tight, I'll turn up the pressure,
Must be right, no way it can be wrong.
You and me go steamin' together
*TARYN*
Till someone better comes along.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!
*PIETRO and GIRLS*
Crazy, can you believe it,
He's crazy, love him or leave him,
He's crazy, going crazy, going crazy!
Oooh!
*PIETRO*
You know I'm crazy, yeah!
*GIRLS/ PIETRO*
Crazy, can you believe it
He's crazy, love him or leave him, /You know, you know,
He's crazy,/ You know I'm crazy!
Going crazy, going crazy!/ I'm just so crazy!
Going crazy, going crazy,/ Yeah, yeah,
Going crazy,/ Yeah!
Going crazy!/ I'm crazy!
(A bunch of insanely giggling girls gather around PIETRO)
PIETRO:
There you have it folks.
ROGUE:
So Jean. Where's that dream man of yours?
JEAN:
So Duncan is running a little late, big deal.
ROGUE:
Why not admit it, you hate the guy.
JEAN:
No I don't.
ROGUE:
Yeah. But you dislike him. I mean, you're somewhat smart. You should know that there's more than beeing popular.
JEAN:
Right. This coming from someone who sleeps with blowup-doll.
ROGUE:
Don't make fun of Gabriel! Me and him have good relationship going on! Unlike you and that piece of beef.
*HIGH FLYING, ADORED (Evita)*
*ROGUE*
High flying, adored, so young, the instant queen, a
Rich beautiful thing of all the talents, a cross between a
Fantasy of the bedroom and a saint
And you were just a backstreet girl
Hustling and fighting
Scratching and biting
JEAN Where did you hear that from?!
*ROGUE*
High flying, adored, did you believe in your wildest
moments
All this would be yours, that you'd become the lady
of them all?
Were there stars in your eyes when you crawled in
at night
From the bars, from the sidewalks
From the gutter theatrical?
Don't look down, it's a long long way to fall
JEAN You can't prove anything!
*ROGUE*
High flying, adored, what happens now, where do you
go from here?
For someone on top of the world, the view's not exactly
clear
A shame you did it all at seventeen
There are no mysteries now
Nothing can thrill you
No-one fulfill you
High flying, adored, I hope you come to terms with
boredom
So famous, so easily, so soon, is not the wisest thing
to be
You won't care if they love you, it's been done before
You'll despair if they hate you
You'll be drained of all energy
All the young who've made it would agree
*JEAN*
High flying, adored, I've been called names but they're
the strangest
My story's quite usual, local girl makes good,
Dates popular guy
I was slap in the right place at the perfect time
Filled a gap--I was lucky
But one thing I'll say for me
No-one else can fill it like I can
(DUNCAN comes, I am not going even bother with his suit, just imagine something stupid)
DUNCAN:
Hi, babe.
ROGUE:
Aaargh! I need a drink!
(ROGUE heads for the drink table)
