Chapter Eight:
The kids were mesmerized by where they went next...New York
City, New York..They were even more mesmerized by why they were
there: They were going to be on TRL!!! It was "Young, New and
Fresh Artist Week" on TRL. They had picked "School of Rock" to
be on their Tuesday show.
Zack: This is really awesome
Katie: It is
Dewey: Obviously..I'm even psyched to be going on TRL
Summer: Anyone would be
Frankie (singing): Raindrops keep fallin' on my head, but that's doesn't mean my eyes will soon be red. Crying's...
Tomika: No...Don't sing that, please. We're a rock band not part of a musical
Dewey: My little rockers have finally made it to the big time tear So touching
Freddy: Shut up Dewey..We're not in the mood for sarcasm..Anyway's I'm not "little"..I lost the last bit of my "little" summer before eight grade with Mi-...
Michelle: You mention that and you die, Jones
Freddy: Sorry
Meanwhile, Zack was sitting in the passenger's seat as a punishment for getting drunk the night before..It was a pretty bad punishment too..Dewey's music was alway's blaring and he was always singing along to it..That might not be too bad..But to someone with their first hangover it is.
Zack: Please, Dewey..Turn down the music
Dewey: NO!! You're suppose to be learning a lesson right now, dude..Drinking is bad, especially before a show
Zack: And this is a punishment? Billy tying me to a wall and then gay raping me would be a nicer punishment
(Awkward Silence)
Alicia: Disgusting Zack! That is just wrong!
Zack: But, It's true
Katie: Nope..That's the worst thing that could happen to you
Zack: Shut the hell up..I'm not on speaking terms with Katie aka "hooker in training" right now..Tell her that Freddy
Freddy: I think she did
Katie: Ass (starts making out with Marco)
Summer: Slut
Dewey: Oh..My..God! There it is! It's TRL! Oh my God! I need to call and tell Doofy about this! (takes out his cellphone)
Freddy: NO! Sam will find out where were at and track me down!
Dewey: Dude...Sam is not obsessed with you..I talked to her a couple days ago and she said that she likes Gordon better now
Gordon: NO!!!
Freddy (pats Gordon on the back): Good luck, dude
Gordon: God damn it! I need to warm myself!
Frankie: You know about it
Gordon: Well, I...Never mind
Dewey (singing): TRL here I come..Right back where I started from...TRL! TRL! Here Dewey comes! TRL! TRL! Here I...
Marta: Stop! That is so nerve racking! I will never get to finish reading "A Tale of Two Cities" because of this..You are so childish, Dewey Finn
(Akward Silence)
Frankie: Since when are you smart?
Summer: Since I gave her lesson
Frankie: On what? How to be a lesbian?
Freddy: HEY! SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW SUMMER! I DO AND SHE IS SURE AS HELL NOT GAY! NOW APOLOGIZE OR YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO ME!
Frankie: U-um..Sorry Tinkerbelle
Summer: Thanks pyro-boy (winks at him)
Freddy: No problamo (winks back)
Katie (not making out anymore): I am feeling weird vibes between you two..Very weird vibes
Dewey: Look! It's Carson Daily! (screams like a girl)
Freddy: I thought he was dead
Dewey: No...He's there isn't he
Lawrence: Obviously (rolls eyes)
Freddy: NO...That Tara Reid person killed him when he was trying to kill her
(Awkward Silence)
Marta: That was in the movie "Josie and the Pussycats"..Staring Rachel Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, Alan Curry and Tara Reid..Made in the year 2001
Freddy: We didn't need to know that
Marta: Ah..But you did
The band stops their tour van and gets out. They are greeted by Carson Daily, who has a weird scrunched up look on his face.
Carson: Hello, I am Carson Daily and welcome to TRL..Someone stir this drink for me (hands it to Marco)
Marco: With pleasure (takes a laxative out of his pocket and puts it into the drink, gives it to Carson)
Carson: Thanks (chugs it down)
Zack: We know where we're at dude
Carson: Now..Dewey is it? Tell me their names..Starting with..That one points at Zack
Dewey: That's Zack Mooneyham, guitar
Carson: Okay..The short blonde
Marta: I am not short! (kicks Carson)
Dewey: Marta...
Carson: Okay! Just tell me all there names..You were kind of late
Dewey: Okay..Freddy, Lawrence, Alicia, Summer, Tomika, Gordon, Katie, Marco, Frankie, Leonard, Eleni and Michelle
Carson: Good..Now let's go (farts) inside
Katie (under her breath): Ick-na
Carson: So..This is where you get ready (farts)...You don't have enough time..So, let's get you on stage
Dewey: That was quick
Carson: I know talks into a microphone La-La..We're ready..Go!
The band runs into the broadcast room..Teens scream and cheer, as they get up to La-La and each shake her hand.
La-La: Hey y'all..This is the School of Rock!
Dewey: I'm Dewey
Zack: Zack
Freddy: Freddy
Katie: Katie (smacks lips and winks)
Summer: Summer
Marta: Marta
Alicia: Alicia
Tomika: Tomika
Gordon: Gordon
Marco: Marco
Frankie: Frankie
Leonard: Leonard
Eleni: Eleni
Michelle: Michelle
La-La: Well welcome to TRL, y'all! So..How old are you guys?
Zack: Thirteen
La-La: Thirteen? Wow...So..Do you guys wanna perform for us? Do y'all want them to perform?
Cheers and Screams
La-La: I guess they do!
The band runs up to a already set-up equipment and is about to start playing when..A man with huge glasses, baggy jeans and a tank top runs out..He grabs a microphone in panic.
Man: Emergency! Carson was constipated! He passed out on the toilet! Lack of breath!
La-La: Uh-oh runs off
The band curious runs after the man and La-La to see Carson laying on the ground, his eyes open wide..He growls at Marco.
Carson: You..Put..A..Laxative..In..My..Drink..Didn't..You?
Marco: Why?
Carson: You little brat! Get (farts) out (farts) of here (farts)
Dewey: Whatever you say...And it's not cool to call one of my home dogs a brat
Freddy: God..First we were his "Little Rockers" and now were his "Home Dogs"
Dewey: Shut up and go
The band gets out to their van and drives off..Laughing at what Marco had did to Carson's drink and what had happened because of that.
