Sarah Baker had finished her audition. She had done such a bad job that she was going to be just one of the nuns. However, her best friend had done so well that she got the main part, Maria.
Sarah Baker was jealous. It was bad to be jealous of your best friend, but she was. Not that she wanted the part of Maria, of course, but that her friend was starring with her crush, a boy named Paul. Paul was playing Captain Von Trapp. Sarah #2 also had a crush on Paul, and she told Sarah #1 all about it. Sarah #2 had no idea that Sarah #1 also liked Paul however.
Sarah #1 was quiet, when Sarah #2 pranced around, giddy in joy. She liked to sing, she liked Paul, everything was going perfect for her. Sarah #1 didn't feel like talking to her best friend. Sarah Baker was jealous.
Mark sat miserably, his head in his hands. He'd lost Chili Burger. Poor frog. He'd probably never find him again. Oh, well. At least his family talked to him now. They were probably afraid he'd run away again. But he wouldn't.
Charlie had tried to take him to get a new frog, but Mark was stunned over the loss of his other frog. He hoped Chili Burger would come back, soon. He just liked the responsibility of being able to take care of him.
Mr. Baker came in the police station. "Umm, I'm Tom Baker."
"Oh yes," the policeman said. He had a pretty big mustache. "You must be looking for Charlie Baker and his friend, Jessica."
"Ur, yeah. Can they come out?"
"Charlie explains that he has locked his keys inside his car. We had the car brought here, by the way. But that isn't the point. Charlie also got a ticket today, and was driving recklessly along, bringing his friend Jessica. This is dangerous to the community whether you realize it or not Mr. Baker. And…"
"He got a ticket?" Mr. Baker was in shock. Charlie was the safest driver he knew.
"Yes. For speeding."
Mr. Baker was in shock again. Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Somebody was going to be in a lot of trouble…
"The punishment is that you will have to participate in the play that's going on."
"You mean that Sound of Music thing?" Ell asked.
"Yes. You have to do whatever you can to help them."
"But my sister's in that thing!" Jake yelped.
"Too bad. It's either that or copying three pages out of the dictionary."
"I'll be in the play," Jake said automatically.
His friends were not so sure of their answer. Both things were bad, but at least they wouldn't have to be in some musical. Especially with Sarah, who was known to hate every single one of them.
Jake regretted his decision as the principal went on.
"But of course Mr. Baker, participating in the play means you must have a role…"
