FREIDA'S BIG SCORE
CHAPTER 1: DREAM GIRL
A large crowd of people was gathered in the seats of a massive football stadium in Florida one warm Spring night,and the crowd was anxiously cheering in excitement and anticipation for whatever was to come as they all stared at a huge soundstage down in the football field. The rows were all loaded with men,women and children wearing pink clothes and sporting wigs of red curly hair on their heads while some of them spun gigantic signs that read "Freida" on them in red paint next to a painted heart. The crowd continued to cheer and cheer in anticipation until something finally started to happen as an announcer ecstatically announced while music began to roar throughout the stadium "Here she is folks!" to which the crowd's cheers intensified like never before.
"The queen of the scene,the diva with a fever,lady fabulous 2020,Voulez-vous coucher-" The announcer tried to continue his frankly overblown introduction only for an eighteen year old Freida Rich to suddenly interrupt while she and numerous backup singers stepped out from the sound stage's curtain "Me! Frieda "Naturally Curly" Rich!"
(F-R-E-I-D-A.)
"Let's light it up Florida!" ecstatically suggested Freida as she pulled out a microphone and happily began to sing.
Freida:
I've been thinking about ya.
Since receiving your call.
Can't see living without ya.
You've got me mind,soul,body and all.
Pray and I pray every night and each day.
Hoping that you'll drop a line.
Pray and I pray till you sweep me away.
Straight to cloud number nine.
(Ahhh!)
You are simply too divine.
Take me to heaven.
Take me to ecstasy.
(Ecstasy!)
I'll give you all I got.
Cause nothing's as hot as when you groove with me.
(No,no,no,no.)
And when you strut your stuff and do your thing.
I just can't help surrendering.
You're so strong.
You're so sweet.
You're what makes me complete.
I just worship at your feet.
Take me to heaven.
Take me to kingdom come.
I'll take any vow,just take me now.
Take me,take me higher.
Take me,take me higher,higher.
"Guess what y'all? It's my birthday!" happily announced Freida as she turned to face the crowd before they all gleefully shouted in response "Happy birthday Freida!"
Don't know how you do what you do.
(Ah-ah.)
It's like you're almost too good to be true.
(Ah-ah.)
You're my heart.
You're my dream.
You rock my world.
You reign supreme.
My man is so nice to me.
(He's got the boogie.)
(To lose my soul.)
(He's got the boogie.)
(Made me lose control. Beep-beep.)
Now don't ya know my booty's heading for a special place?
Where people shake it baby wrapped in love's embrace.
Listen we're gonna take a quick five y'all.
Take me to heaven.
Take me to paradise.
I'll get on my knees.
Just take me please.
Take me there!
*RING!*
Freida's eyes slowly started to open up as her alarm clock loudly rang throughout her bedroom and household,and eventually the curly haired girl managed to lift herself up out of bed to reveal that her hair was a naturally curly mess before she shut off her alarm and softly rubbed Faron's fur,who was laying down on her bed and was now awoken due to the alarm.
"You know Faron,I just had the most surreal dream last night,and it was that I was an eighteen year old super star down in Florida on my birthday." Freida softly sighed and recalled her dream to her cat while she got out of bed and immediately proceeded to fix up her hair before she took a look at calendar to see that her birthday was coming up in a matter of days as she smiled and happily whispered to herself "I dunno what I'm gonna do for my birthday this year,though I am wondering if my Charlie has anything in surprise for me,he sure does like putting together a good surprise."
As Freida continued to get herself ready for the school day,she couldn't help but start humming the song she was singing in her dream despite her not remembering the lyrics all too well which eventually prompted her to bring it up to herself while she walked down the street towards Charlie Brown's house to wait for the bus with him and the others "That is some disco song I was singing back there,I just wish I can remember the lyrics and write them down." before she ultimately shrugged her arms and decided to ignore it for the time being,because she definitely didn't need some dream music clouding her mind at school.
Meanwhile down in the city area of Sparkyville at what appeared to be a music studio,a teenage boy who looked around fourteen at most was sitting down on a bench outside of the building and talking on the phone with someone,the boy sported dark sunglasses,a little bit of a mustache on his face and a grey business suit with a blue tie around his collar.
"Are you sure she's the right girl for the role? I mean we got this Alice girl at the studio right now and she seems like she could hold her own as the main star just fine." questioned the boy out of curiosity as he got off the bench and started walking down the sidewalk towards the suburb area of town before he sighed and reluctantly continued after the person on the other end gave a reply "Well whatever you say Dad,I just don't want Alice to feel snubbed if we end up going with this…..what's her name again?"
