PART ONE: FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL...
((Cue lovely beach montage... and "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing." We see JACK and STAGEY going for a sweet li'l romp through the beach: building sandcastles, body surfing, getting stung by jellyfish, and-- most importantly-- making out like weasels as the sun sets.))
STAGEY: *all whiny* I'm going back to Virginia! I don't know if I'll see you again...
JACK: *Shrugs* So? *Backtracks* Erm, I mean... Don't talk that way, Stagey!
STAGEY: But it's true... I've just had the best summer of my life and now I'll have to go away... It isn't fair...
JACK: *In the passion of the moment, kisses STAGEY smolderingly*
STAGEY: Jack... *pulls away* Don't spoil it!
JACK: *Pouts* Aw, man...
STAGEY: Jack? Is this the end?
JACK: *Trying to be the reassuring summer-fling boyfriend* Of course not... it's only the beginning!
((Cue smashing disco-y number that is SO not fifties-esque, but has a snappy beat. Besides, the cartoons are fun to watch... especially since the cartoon drawings of the characters look nothing like them in real life...))
((Live-action shot of Rydell High School. Kids are goin' everywhere and smoking everything. In the midst of all of this, we see Da T-Boids: RACE, MUSH, and BLINK, frolicking around like the Three Stooges.))
BLINK: Heya fellas!!!
MUSH: *grins*
BLINK: What'sa matter with you, huh?
MUSH: Jus' got done makin' out wid Sapphy... *gets stupid-happy look on his face*
BLINK: I need a girlfriend...
RACE: Ain't OUR fault! *mutters under his breath* Prob'ly gay...
BLINK: Nuh-uh! We can't ALL have Mayo, ya know.
RACE: Nope... ya sure can't! She's all mine! *grins* Hey... there's Spot!
((RACE, MUSH, and BLINK tackle SPOT, a fellow T-Boid.))
SPOT: *the living embodiment of greaser-cool* Hey.
BLINK: Hey, we ain't seen ya all summer! Where ya been?
SPOT: *adjusts collar* I was workin', which is more than any a youse kids can say... sellin' papes.
RACE: *mockingly* Nice job!
SPOT: Eat me! *whaps RACE* I'm savin' up ta buy me some wheels.
((T-BOIDS react in awe.))
MUSH: Hey... hey, Spot? Wanna hear what I did with Sapphy all summer?
SPOT: *automatically* No.
MUSH: *shuts up*
BLINK: Hey look! It's Jack! *Three Stooges "woob-woob-woob" noise*
((JACK, every bit as cool as SPOT, turns around, a nicotine and tar-loaded cigarette hanging out of his smirking mouth. DA T-BOIDS pounce on him.))
MUSH: Jack! How's it goin'? Spent all yer time at the beach again?
JACK: Yeah... hangin' at the beach, y'know... *grin* YOU know...
SPOT: Hey, yeah... *to JACK* So how WAS da action at da beach? Was it... y'know... *knowing smirk*
JACK: *with perfect greaser swagger* Oh, it was flippin'.
SPOT: *eagerly* Was it crazy?
JACK: Yeah... well, I met this one chick. She was sorta cool.
RACE: *one-track mind* Ya mean she puts out? *grins* Gotta love my Mayo...
JACK: *rolls eyes* C'mon, Race! That all ya think about?
RACE: *flips up his collar* Freakin' "A"!!
BLINK: *pondering* Ya think Hope would let me ask her out?...
T-BOIDS: No.
BLINK: Jus' thought I'd ask!
((Bell rings. Cut to DA PINK LADIES: RAVEN, MAYO, and HOPE. All are dressed in their trademark pink jackets, sauntering out of their pink clunker.))
RAVEN: *the unofficial leader of Da Pink Ladies, her voice oozing with sarcasm* Well, here we are again.
MAYO: *clutches books eagerly* Yeah, but this time, we're seniors!
RAVEN: *smirks* An' we're gonna rule the school!!
((HOPE is munching on an Oreo gleefully.))
MAYO: *rolls eyes* Hope, that is SO adolescent!
HOPE: *grinning* But we ARE adolescents!!
RAVEN: We don't gotta flaunt it! *sighs* C'mon, girls... let's go get 'em.
((Cut to SAPPHY, the fourth Pink Lady and arguably the cutest of the four. She is followed by STAGEY, who looks positively virginal in her modest blouse and skirt.))
STAGEY: *winces* Do I really look okay, Sapphy?
SAPPHY: *earnestly* Aw, sure. Ya look great!
STAGEY: *still pouting over Jack*
SAPPHY: *eyes narrow* Whatsa matter?
STAGEY: Heartbreak...
SAPPHY: *trying to throw some humor in the situation* Why, ya got psoriasis?
((SAPPHY grins, hoping STAGEY gets the joke, only to have it go over her heartbroken head.))
SAPPHY: *pats STAGEY on the back* It's all right... you'll do fine here at Rydell! C'mon...
((They go inside. Cut back to T-BOIDS, loitering in the halls, not about to go to class.))
RACE: *complaining about his schedule* Sheez! Every teacher I got this year's flunked me at least once!
MUSH: *combing his hair* Well, if ya don't watch yer step, you'll be spendin' all your time in Larkson's office.
RACE: Oh yeah? Well, she'll wish she never seen me this year!
BLINK: Why's that?
RACE: *proudly* 'Cause I jus' ain't gonna take any of her crap, that's all! I don't take no crap from nobody!
((MS. LARKSON, the principal, almost magically appears in the hallway. RACE shuts up immediately.))
MEDDA: Mister Higgins!
RACE: *meekly* Yes ma'am!
MEDDA: Aren't you supposed to be in homeroom right now?
RACE: I was, uh... jus' goin' for a walk!
MEDDA: *knowingly* You were just dawdling, weren't you?
RACE: *under his breath* Yes ma'am...
MEDDA: That isn't the way to start off the new school year, is it Mr. Higgins?
RACE: *muttering Italian curses under his breath*
MEDDA: Perhaps a session of banging erasers after school will change your mind! Now move!! *walks off*
RACE: *scowling*
JACK: *snickering* I'm sure glad ya didn't take none of her crap, Race! You woulda really told 'er off, huh?
RACE: Shaddap, Kelly!
((DAVEY, the living embodiment of all that you DON'T want to be in high school, approaches.))
DAVEY: *nasally* Heya fellas!!
SPOT: Aw, Davey! Here... shake, buddy!
DAVEY: *reacts to the hand buzzer* Hey! That ain't right!
JACK: *snickers* Whatta loser.
DAVEY: Huh?
RACE: Nothin'... get ta class!!
DAVEY: *hastily* Yessir!! *dashes away*
((Cut to later in the school day... lunchtime. DA PINK LADIES are seated at their usual lunch table, munching selectively at their food.))
HOPE: Hey, did ya get a look at Kelly this morning? Lookin' pretty good this year, huh Rave? *raises her eyebrows tantalizingly*
RAVEN: *pretending not to care* That's ancient history!
MAYO: *smirks* Well, history sometimes repeats himself. Hey, Sapphy!
((SAPPHY, grinning broadly, joins DA PINK LADIES, again, followed by a nervous STAGEY.))
SAPPHY: *sits down* Hey girls! Uh, this here is Stagey! *as though the next fact was the coolest thing in the world* She jus' moved here from Virginia!
RAVEN: Huh, the South! How're things "down under"? *smirking superiorly*
STAGEY: *thinks Raven's trying to be nice* Oh! Fine, thanks!
((A loud, obnoxious voice erupts through the lunchroom. It's CANARIE SIMCOX, making her way DA PINK LADIES.))
RAVEN: *grinning and bearing it* Canarie Simcox, the bad seed of Rydell High-- *to Canarie* Hi!
CANARIE: *full of emotion* Aw... I just LOVE the first day of school, don't you??
HOPE: *makes her fingers into a gun shape and points it to her head*
CANARIE: *notices STAGEY* Oh! You must think I'm a terrible clod for not introducing myself to your friend!! Hi, I'm Canarie Simcox!! *prepares to sit down* Welcome to Rydell-- OH! *jumps up suddenly, her poodle skirt having been violated by an apple core*
HOPE: Was lookin' for that! *munches on it*
CANARIE: *eagerly, to STAGEY* Well, hope you'll be at cheerleading tryouts! We'll have so much fun and get to be lifelong friends!...
((CANARIE continues to bombard STAGEY with more effervesence than four packs of Alka-Seltzer. SAPPHY covers her mouth, whispering to DA PINK LADIES.))
SAPPHY: Hey, guys... ya think that we could let Stagey inta the Pink Ladies?
RAVEN: *frowns at STAGEY, who is being quite Mary Sue-ish* She looks too pure to be pink.
SAPPHY: *shrugs and returns to her "macaroni"*
((DA T-BOIDS are busy munching away on their own food up on the football bleachers, away from everything and where, of course, they can make fun of the jocks below.))
RACE: 'Ey, Spot? Wanna bite of my salami?
SPOT: *nonchalantly* You kiddin'? If I eat that, I'll smell like you.
RACE: *growls*
MUSH: *watches, amused, as BLINK is trying to look up some girls' skirts... turns to the others* Watch this... *yells to BLINK, blowing his cover* 'EY!
((BLINK'S victims gasp and dash away, blushing like summer apples. BLINK readjusts his eyepatch, waving to them.))
BLINK: Hi, girls!! *beaming*
MUSH: *grins, squirts BLINK with a water gun* You'se a sick fella, Blink!
RACE: Hey, I wanna hear what Jack did at the beach!
T-BOIDS: Yeah... *crowd in around Jack*
JACK: *trying to make this as much like locker room talk as he can* Aw, you don't wanna hear all the horny details!
((Cut to PINK LADIES, still at lunch.))
SAPPHY: So hey, Stagey... what'd ya do this summer?
STAGEY: *chews lower lip and smiles* I spent most of it at the beach... *as if this was a mortal sin* I met a boy there... *blushes*
RAVEN: *not taking her eyes off of her fingernails* Ya mean to tell me you blew all your cookies to go to the beach, all over some lousy guy?...
STAGEY: *earnestly* Well, he was special...
MAYO: *rolls her eyes* Sure.
STAGEY: *knowing that SAPPHY is at least interested, talks to her* He was so romantic...
((What happens next is a conveniently non-copyright-infringing number where STAGEY drones on and on about this Romeo she met at the beach. JACK is telling his friends about the hot chick that let him make out with her under the docks...))
SPOT: *perks up* The DOCKS, ya said? Like, Brooklyn?
JACK: *exasperated* No, you bonehead! Now, lemme finish... *commences to sing the end*
((DA PINK LADIES are now done with lunch and headed to their next class.))
HOPE: *clutches her heart* Aw, Stagey! That sounds so wonderfully romantic!!
STAGEY: Yeah, it was...
MAYO: *is disgusted* Psh. He didn't lay a finger on ya?
STAGEY: Well, er-- no...
MAYO: *sing-song* Cree-eep! *Smugly* I always make sure Race gets what he wants.
HOPE: I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
SAPPHY: So, what was his name?
STAGEY: Oh! Jack... Jack Kelly...
((This causes DA PINK LADIES to laugh uncontrollably at the irony. RAVEN gives them an "if-looks-could-kill" glare and turns to STAGEY with a bittersweet smirk.))
RAVEN: *voice dripping with sarcasm* Well, I personally think he sounds like a real sweetheart. Peachy keen, even. And--oh, who knows? Maybe if you believe hard enough, Prince Charming will show up again someday. Someplace... unexpected. *icily mean smile* See ya later... come on, girls!
STAGEY: *turns to SAPPHY hopefully* Oh, Sapphy! Do you really think that could happen?
SAPPHY: *not wanting to be as bitchy as her comrades* Oh, sure! *genuine, guilty smile* Uh... Stagey... we should probably get to class...
STAGEY: Um... okay...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well, that's all for now, kids! Not like you don't know how "Grease" goes... but stay tuned for the next installment! In which our two lovers will be reunited... bitterly, but reunited! Hey, it's "Grease"! Let it go!! And please review!!! Thankies so much!! =)
