Freida's Big Score Chapter 3, a peanuts fanfic

CHAPTER 3: FABULOUSLY LUCY

"I'd hate to take up too much of your time,so I'll just cut to the chase and ask if you'd happen to know of a girl I'm looking for?" requested the teenager with a very polite and cheerful tone of voice as he took off his glasses to reveal a pair of bright blue eyes behind them only for Peppermint Patty to sneer at the kid and wonder instead of giving a simple yes or no answer "Who's asking mister?" before Skylar added a little more calm and polite "Yeah because we'd wouldn't want to possibly sell out one of our friends to some...questionable people." to which the teenager nervously chuckled and respectfully obliged "Why yes of course,the name's Randy Crowe,my dad owns a record label down in California and has placed me in charge of a music studio down in the city area of Sparkyville."

"Well why would he do that Randy?" questioned Ox in response to the boy's explanation of who he was and what he was doing in town to which the teenager promptly continued while Lucy started to develop a look of intrigue on her face "It's because I have been tasked with searching for our next big music star-" only for the boy to be suddenly cut off when Lucy quickly offered at the mere mention of a music star "Then you're troubles are at an end Randy!"

"I'm terrible s-sorry,who are you?" A startled and caught off guard Randy stammered in response to Lucy's sudden interruption to which the girl egotistically continued while Linus rolled his eyes at her rambling "Me the extraordinary Lucy Van Pelt is the answer to your problems because I will gladly step up to be your star!"

Lucy:

Look at my style,could it be more glam?

Look at my look,could you say hot dang?

Look and at once you know what I am.

Me,I'm fabulous baby.

"There she goes,fanta-ma-sazing again." Patty Swanson rolled her eyes and bitterly lamented at the sight before Cobra lightly nodded her head and playfully stated "Girl whatever you sniffin',I want me some."

Look at my moves,don't they blow your mind?

Drama and talent and pecks combined.

Heck you can tell even if you're blind.

See,I'm fabulous baby.

I'm meant to be where the spotlight shines.

Born to be on display.

Built to be dressed to the ninety-nines.

And ready to stand and say "Hey look at me,can't you see I'm fabulous baby?"

Look right here,ain't it clear where I'm heading to?

And look at the time,honey I can't stay.

Look while you can 'cause I'm on my way.

Me,I'm fabulous baby.

I've got fabulous things to do.

"And just where are you going'?" Violet smirked and decided to teasingly humor Lucy's delusion while she winked over at some of the other girls to which the typically crabby girl promptly clarified in response "Wherever it's happenin'. New York, Vegas, Pittsburgh." before Patty Swanson scoffed and sarcastically retorted "Oh now we're talking,big time!"

"Hello Pittsburgh! I'm Lucy Van Pelt!" shouted Lucy at the top of her lungs as she started to have a vivid fantasy of herself at sixteen performing on stage in front of a crowd with Rattler and Cobra as backup singers.

Fantasy Lucy:

Look at my shoes.

Fantasy Rattler:

At my clothes.

Fantasy Cobra:

My hair.

Fantasy Rattler:

Look what's up here.

Fantasy Lucy:

And then look back there.

Fantasy Rattler and Cobra:

Look all you want,I got lots to spare.

Fantasy Lucy:

Just stand back and clear the track 'cause look at me,can't you see I'm fabulous baby?

Fantasy Rattler and Cobra:

(So fabulous baby.)

Fantasy Lucy:

Check me out,ain't no doubt where this girl is found.

So joke all you want,go ahead and laugh.

One day you'll beg for my autograph.

Oh,I'm fabulous baby.

Fantasy Rattler and Cobra:

So dang fabulous baby.

Lucy:

Can't you see me lit up on the stage as the cameras adore me?

Can't you see me up walking red carpets or doing TV?

Can't you see all my millions of fans screaming desperately for me?

(L-U-C-Y.)

I'm a diva,a goddess,a star on the brink.

A house-rocking vision in hot shocking pink.

A party,a riot,the whole kitchen sink.

It's time for the world to find out don't you think?

Oh look at me,can't you see?

(She's fabulous baby.)

Yeah,I'm fabulous baby.

Feast your eyes,can't disguise my star quality.

So laugh all you want,I won't be denied.

What I have got is too hot to hide.

I am fabulous baby.

So dang fabulous baby.

I'll do fabulous guaranteed.

I'll be fabulous baby.

Fresh,free,fabulous baby.

Fine and fabulous baby.

Wait and see!

Once it looked like Lucy had finally finished off her presentation,Randy ultimately sighed and regrettably refused the offer while he got a little red in the face due to some personal nervousness regarding having to turn someone down "Well Miss…...Van Pelt you sound like a…...passionate individual,but sadly you aren't quite the girl we're looking for at the moment." to which Lucy's eyes twitched and she tightly clenched her fist behind her back while she still seemingly wore a smile on her face.

"Easy does it Lucy,easy does it." Scheroder sighed and calmly suggested as his girlfriend meekly nodded her head and slowly stepped back to the crowd of kids before Randy cleared his throat and continued a little more calm and collected "But uh yes,the girl I am actually looking for is a Miss Freida Rich,would any of y'all happen to know her?" to which all the kids tensed up a little at the sudden revelation,especially Freida.

"Do y'all know her?" wondered Randy with a slightly confused look on his face due to the kids' snappy reactions before Freida suddenly raised her hand and called out with a slightly shaky voice "T-that would be me Randy,sir." to which Charlie Brown took a deep breath and cautiously wondered while his girlfriend slowly stepped up to the teenager "Randy,what do you need with Freida?"

"Yeah,what exactly do you need her for?" added PigPen in agreement with a little bit of a suspicious look on his face before Randy promptly explained himself in an attempt to calm down the clearly on edge kids "It's really nothing to worry about,I'm just giving her the offer of a lifetime,where she can come down to the studio in the city for a couple days to get ready for a special test in New York,and if she happens to do well enough over there,we can sign a record deal with her." to which the entire gang gasped in shock at the news.

"You mean Freida's gonna be a music star?!" Charlie Brown questioned with a very excited look on his face as Randy nodded his head and happily confirmed while he handed Freida his business card "Yes she can,if my father's impressed by Freida's performance that is." before the curly haired wondered due to a sheer sense of awe "But why? Why pick me?" which prompted Randy to lightly laugh and cheerfully answer "It's because we've caught wind of your prestige ability to steal any music show you partake in,if you wish,we'd love to have you over at the studio." However it was right then and there that Randy started to notice a bus coming up from down the street which was likely for the kids as he promptly decided to excuse himself for the time being while he put his glasses back on "Well it's getting rather late,so we can continue this discussion another time,give me a call if you want Freida. Good day." before he proceeded to walk off and leave the kids alone once again.

"Wow,you're gonna be a star Freida!" Peppermint Patty happily complimented her friend's accomplishment before Claudia nodded her head and added equally as cheerful "I'm v-very happy f-for you Freida." to which Charlie Brown lightly chuckled and blissfully remarked at the sheer irony of the situation while he embraced his girlfriend "It's funny because me and Freida were just talking about her being a music star earlier today,I say she deserves it." which resulted in the rest of the gang happily showing their support over each other,they were truly happy that Freida was given such an offer,even Lucy couldn't help but show a little support despite her being turned down by Randy. Once the gang finished their compliments and finally decided to get on the bus and head home for the day,they would all be left shocked and confused when they saw that Snoopy was the one driving the bus and that Gracie was acting as a conductor of some sort beside him,but all that honestly mattered to them was that they were finally heading home after a long day at school.
