A Very Charlie Brown Musical
A Peanuts Musical
It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning in Birchwood as everyone was waking up to the chime of alarm clocks, well, except for one girl.
This said girl had been up nearly all night and showed no signs of sleeping at all. Her orange pigtails were thrown all over the place and her mint leave eyes had deep, black bangs under them.
"G-g-good morning world!" she called out, hoping to get an answer back. Soon she heard it: a brown beagle covered in spots was barking as it raced into her room, stepped on some of her drawings and jumped into her arms.
"Hi Gracie, d-did you sleep well?" the girl asked as the dog licked her face merrily.
"Good grief, Gracie, maybe you should've been named 'Licker' instead" she added, putting the dog down on the ground.
"What're we doing today?" the dog asked itself, wagging it's little tail.
"There are so many things to do t-t-today; but saying Good morning is a start, especially to friends," the girl explained.

Oh, oh, oh woke up today feeling
The way I always do
Oh, oh, oh hungry for something that I can't eat
Then I hear that beat
The rhythm of town starts calling me down
It's like a message from high above
Oh, oh, oh pulling me out to the smiles and the
Streets that I love
Good morning Birchwood
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
Good morning Birchwood
And some day when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
It's Birchwood and me
"Claudia, it's 7:05 on a Saturday for Sparky's sake; why don't you sleep in this time?" an older girl with light brown hair and cat eye glasses asked from her room.
"Can't sleep in, Krissy; today's my day to shine" the orange haired girl replied.
"Whatever" the teenager responded back in annoyance.
(Claudia)
Oh, oh, oh look at my hair
What do can compare? With mine today
Oh, oh, oh I've got my hairspray and radio
I'm ready to go
The rats on the street all dance round my feet
They seem to say, "Claudia, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh don't hold me back
'Cause today all my dreams will come true
Good morning Birchwood
There's the tomboy who lives next door
There's the boy on his kitchen stool
They wish me luck as my life turns cool
Good morning Birchwood
And some day when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
It's Birchwood and me
I know every step, I know every song
I know there's a place where I belong
I see all those party lights shining ahead
So someone invite me before I drop dead!
(Krissy)
Before she drops dead!
(Claudia)
So, oh, oh, give me a chance
Cause when I start to dance, I'm a movie star
Oh, oh, oh, something inside of me makes me move
When I hear that groove
My ma tells me no, but my feet tell me go!
It's like a drummer inside my heart
So, oh, oh, don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start...
I love you Birchwood
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
And I promise Birchwood
That some day when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see
It's Birchwood and me (Yes, more or less we all agree)
It's Birchwood and me (Someday the world is gonna see)
It's Birchwood and me!
"So Gracie, what should we do today? Draw pictures? Watch YouTube?" Claudia asked as her dog barked happily. "'Go make friends'? Gracie, that's the best and worst idea you've ever had!" she exclaimed, hugging the beagle.
"Well sis, considering today's plans, how about a pick-me-up breakfast? Mom's making pancakes… do you want yours with or without peanut butter?" Krissy asked as she snickered to herself, her head popping out of Claudia's room.
"No peanut butter for me please…we don't need to wait 5 hours in ER again" the fire colored hair girl replied.
"Oka-how'd you remember that day? You were three and I was twelve" her sister asked.
"Want me to show you my scar?" the younger girl smirked.
"You win" Krissy sighed.
"Wow butter would be nice though, do we have any?" Claudia questioned.
"Just a little bit" her sister explained.
"I'll have the wow butter spread in that case" the redhead girl smiled. "And then, I'll make some friends"
