Part 1 A Messy Start
It's Monday morning; Matt is sitting on the couch, watching TV. Lizzie comes downstairs and starts fighting with Matt.
LIZZIE(Yelling)
Matt, please give me back my hairbrush!
MATT
I do not have your stupid
hairbrush! By the way, why in the world would I take your hairbrush,
anyway?!
ANIMATED LIZZIE
That's true. Why in the world would he take my hairbrush? Unless…
LIZZIE
Ok, Matt, who has it?
MATT
What're you talking about?
LIZZIE
I am talking about, that you probably gave or sold it to someone.
MATT
(Folding arms)
No, I did not! Quit blaming me for stuff I didn't even do!
LIZZIE
Ok, if you didn't take it or sold it, then please help me find it!
MATT
Why?
LIZZIE
What do you expect?
MATT
(Laughing)
Um, maybe you are going to a pig barn to roll around in the mud.
LIZZIE
Matt, that's not funny! The field trip to a pig barn was Ethan's idea.
ANIMATED LIZZIE
Why does Ethan have to be stupid all the time? I mean he's cute, but sometimes too stupid that you can't even talk to him.
MATT
Ethan. It was Ethan's idea. You know, he's pretty cool. He should be my brother; instead I got stuck with a sister.
LIZZIE
Hey, that wasn't nice!
MATT
Even better, I wish you and Ethan would just switch lives!
ANIMATED LIZZIE
Oh, he shouldn't of said that. Now,
I'm Mad; really, really, mad!
Lizzie groans and Matt just looks at her, then gets up and runs.
LIZZIE
You
shouldn't have said that. Now, you're getting beat up!
Matt screams as he runs up the stairs.
SAM
(On the stairs)
Whoa! Guys, slow down! You could get hurt!
Matt hides behind Sam.
MATT
Dad, Lizzie's chasing me!
SAM
Lizzie, why are you chasing Matt?
LIZZIE
He was mean to me.
SAM
Matt, is this true?
MATT
No, well, maybe…
SAM
Matt, you shouldn't be mean to your sister. You should care and love
her.
LIZZIE
Yeah!
MATT
But, Lizzie said that I took her hairbrush and I didn't.
LIZZIE
(To Sam)
Well, he could've, because he always had taken stuff from me in the past!
MATT
Yeah, I admit, I
have. But I didn't take your hairbrush! That's just gross!
Outside, the bus beeps.
LIZZIE
Now, look! The bus is here and I am not even ready! It's all because of you, Matt!
Lizzie runs to the door and gives the sign that means 'hold on', then runs up to her room and gets ready. After she was ready, she ran out the door and onto the bus. When she was on the bus, everybody laughed because of her hair; it was messy.
MIRANDA
(Whispers)
Lizzie, what happened? Your brother did this to you, again?
Lizzie just ignored her. She was embarrassed because of her hair and mad because of her brother. "This day can't get any worse!" She thought.
