Chapter 1

Thinking about Joining the Talent Show at School

Zack and Cody were eating at the cafeteria with their friends.

Cody- Hey, guys! What do you think of joining the talent show?

Zack- Cool! Then I can show off my skateboard tricks! So then everyone will know me as ZACK THE SKATEBOARDER.

Bob- I hate Talent Shows. One time I was doing this dance and I messed up so badly!

Cody- What happened?

Bob- I froze up there on stage and I almost wet my pants!

Zack- …okay? That would have been hilarious!

Cody- Max, you can dance for the Talent Show.

Max- Cool. But I need someone to be my background dancer. Cody, can you help?

Cody- Sorry, I can't.

Max- Why not?

Cody- I'm going to be cooking with Tapeworm.

Tapeworm- I think Agnes isn't doing anything. Maybe she can dance too.

Agnes sits down at their table.

Max- Hey, Agnes! Do you think you can dance with me for the talent show?

Agnes- Sure! I was in a dancing school once, but then I quit.

Bob- Okay, guys! Can you stop talking about dancing because it gives me bad memories?

Zack- Did you ever think you can be more popular by winning the talent show?

Cody- Nope! Unless you did something really incredible!

Zack- Like swim with a shark?

Cody- Where do you get these crazy ideas? Too many dreams!

Zack- Your just jealous cause I'm more popular than you!

Cody- I'm smarter than you!

Zack- Is that the best diss you can think of?

Cody- Oh, yeah! Well, if your so popular, then why don't you go diss the football captain and sees what he'll do about it!

All friends- STOP FIGHTING!

Agnes- Sit down! You guys are embarrassing us.

Bob- Okay! I'll go sign us up for the talent show first!
