*I DON'T OWN ICARLY! OR HSM!=P*

"Do we have to be here?" Sam whined, entering the rehearsal hall for Seattle Arts Council.

"Yes!" Carly returned, "Why not? The cast list did say to be here at 8 o'clock A.M. on the dot, and here we are!"

"Ok, ok sheesh." Sam rolled her eyes and slumped into the closest seat she could find and fell silent, wishing she was asleep.

"Ok everyone! Welcome to the first rehearsal for High School Musical! Today we are going to be discussing the theme of High School Musical, and getting better acquainted with our parts."

"Joy" Sam rolled her eyes and the surrounding cast stifled their laughter.

"Ok so our leading man is Mr. Troy Bolton! He will be played by Fredward Benson and hopefully Mr. Benson will live up to the name of Bolton. He raised the bar for the performers that follow in his footsteps."

"Who's gonna break the news to Vanessa Hudgens?" Sam smirked.

"What news?"

"That she might get dumped for Walt!"

The whole cast started laughing and Walt shot Sam a calm-down-this-minute kind of look, so she leaned back in her seat and smirked as Walt continued, "Our leading lady is Gabriella Montez. She will be portrayed by Ms. Puckett here."

"Hopefully she can memorize lines as well as she can start trouble." Gibby mumbled, trying to blend into the crowd around him, but ,unfortunately for Gibby, Sam knew it was him before he even said the first word.

"What was that, Gibby?"

"Now, now Ms. Puckett, settle down." Walt commanded.

"Whatever."

"No, not 'whatever.' This is a serious rehearsal and a serious play, and I regret to inform you that if you do not straighten up we will have to replace you with your understudy, Ms Valerie Manson. "

"Ha! Yeah right!" Sam chuckled

"I'm serious Ms. Puckett, one more big mistake from you and you will find yourself in the audience watching the show unfold in front of you."

Sam's mouth dropped in astonishment at what the man in front of her was saying.

"Fine." Sam sulked back to her seat and leaned back, blocking out the rest of rehearsal.

Valerie's POV

Hmmm…. 'One more big mistake' …Big mistake number 1. Snatching my part from underneath me, big mistake number 2, disrupting the peace and order of rehearsal, big mistake number 3, hmmm…. This ain't gonna be pretty….
