Seriously, I don't know what to name this chapter.

Music room…

Riley walked in, without even knocking. Mrs. Parker was at her desk marking some tests. She didn't seem to notice Riley until she called her name.

"Yes, Riley?" She asked.

Riley walked towards her music teacher, and didn't make any eye contact. 'Well, um…." She tried to hide it, but her whole body was shaking like crazy. She took in a breath. "Nevermind." She didn't have the courage to talk to Mrs. Parker. Oh Missy, I hate you. "I'll just go." She turned to leave, but Mrs. Parker stopped her.

"Riley," She said. "Do you need something?" Her voice filled with concern.

An image of a sad Farkle flashed in Riley's mind. She took in a deep breath, then said, "Yes." Another breath. "I do."

Mrs. Parker raised an eyebrow, "Well, just let it out." She noticed that Riley was breathing heavily.

"Well," Riley began. She didn't want to say it, but…. "Is it okay if I give the role of Darby's understudy to Missy?" She said it. Please say no… Please say no… She begged in her mind.

Nobody has ever asked to give their role to somebody else before, so Mrs. Parker said, "Pardon?"

"I want to give the role of Dorothy's understudy to Missy Bradford. Is it okay?"

"Missy Bradford?" Mrs. Parker asked, and Riley nodded. "Well she had a wonderful audition, although she didn't really seem like a type of person who would play Dorothy…."

Riley frowned, "Why not?" She pretended to be upset.

"Well," Mrs. Parker replied. "If you really want to, then I can give your role of the understudy to Ms Bradford."

"Okay," Riley said.

"You're still Glinda, right?" Mrs. Parker asked. Riley didn't know this, but Mrs. Parker did not want to give the role of Darby's understudy to Missy Bradford.

"Of course."

Music Room

School ended, and at the last minute, Mrs. Parker remembered to tell Maya that there was going to be a meeting for the scene workers.

About a dozen students sat in the music room, wearing old clothes, since they were going to start painting today, Maya had been added to the group at the last minute.

With Mrs. Parker in the room, was Mrs. Kossal, the art teacher. When Maya noticed her, she smiled.

"Hey," she waved.

Mrs. Kossal waved back. Maya looked around at the students around her. She recognized all of them, although they were all extremely shy peers.

Mrs. Parker stood in front of the students and spoke. "So, hello everyone, I hope you remembered to wear old or clothes you don't mind getting dirty, because as you probably remember, we are already starting the painting today."

Mrs. Kossal cleared her throat. "Maya has drawn an amazing outline for some of the scenes." Everyone looked at Maya, who smiled. "I've seen the, and they look amazing. Mrs. Parker and I have decided to use those sketches."

Maya took out her drawings and held them up for everyone to see. Her peers looked very impressed.

Mrs. Kossal continued. "Well, let's start painting!"

They headed to the art room.

The Minkus house

When Farkle got home from school, the first thing he did was head to his room. He took out the script from his bag and began reading through it. He highlighted all of the scenes that he was in. Then, he reread the script many times, to make sure he hadn't missed any.

He reread it so many times, that he was pretty sure he highlighted all of his scenes, and that if he was asked to, he could probably recite the whole thing. He wasn't sure, but it was very possible.

After, he texted Missy Bradford.

Art room…..

The painters had their canvas ready, with Maya's sketch roughly drawn as an outline. They took the paint and paintbrushes from the cupboard.

They started painting.

Maya was excited.

Mrs Kossal gave each person a section that they were suppose to paint, so it would be done quicker. Maya stood to the right of a boy, who seemed very focused.

"Mind passing me the blue paint?" she asked.

The boy grabbed a cup filled with blue paint with his left hand and passed it to Maya without looking away from the canvas, with his right hand holding the brush, which didn't stop painting.

Maya took the cup with the paint, and stared at the boy. "Thanks, um…" She didn't know what to call him.

The boy remained silent, minding his own buisiness.

"Okay." She started painting. "What's your name?"

"Charles," the boy whispered."I'm in seventh grade."

Maya didn't know what else to say, so she stopped the conversation there. Charles seemed to one of the shy students.

5:08

Like Farkle, Lucas also began highlighting all of his lines in the script as soon as he got home.

Unlike Farkle, he didn't read it a lot of times. He only read the script once.

After reading the script, he began rewatching the movie, to know exactly how a cowardly lion was suppose to act. He borrowed the movie from Riley as soon as they finished watching it at her house.

Lucas wanted to be the best cowardly lion a person could be, and nothing was going to stop him, he hoped.

He even searched online "How to be a cowardly lion".

The Matthews house

After that meeting with Mrs. Parker, Riley now had a whole different view of her music teacher, and she liked it.

Topanga sat with her, and they read the script together.

But she didn't stop thinking about Missy.

Ummmmmmmmmm… Yeah…..
