Friendly Beats S1E1: New Girl Scene 1 Scene: Friendly Beats High A girl with a tattered shirt walks up to a high school. A boy with a cyan baseball cap spots her and walks up to them. Boy: Hi, I’m Zack. What’s yours? Girl: Umm… I-It’s Melody. I-I’m new here. Zack: Where you from? Melody: Umm, Melody Valley. I-It’s in California. Zack: Wow, you’re all the way from California!? That’s a long way from Michigan! Melody: Y-Yeah. My family travels a lot. But I-I think we should be staying here, at least for a while. The school bells rings. Zack: Whoops, gotta get to class. See ya later! Melody: S-See ya! Scene 2 Scene: Zack’s house Jax: Hey Zack. Whatcha think we should do today? Zack: I dunno. Maybe go hang out at Bolt and Nova’s? Jax: *blushing* B-Bolt and Nova’s? Zack: Yeah, wh- Oh, yeah. You like her. Hmm… Well, she’s normally focused on colleges and stuff. We probably won’t see her in the studio. Plus, we need to work on our song. Gavin’ll come with us. Scene 3 Scene: Russ Park Three girls are sitting at a park bench. Twinkle: So, who should our next vi- Er, umm… Uhh… Yeah, I guess victim. Who should our next victim be? Remi: Umm, I don’t know. Who do you think Bandit? Bandit: Well, we could target Mr. Bruch again. Twinkle: Nah. We did him a few days ago. Bandit: Hey, what about your brother, Duke? Twinkle: Him? He would absolutely lose it, and then get so mad at me. Trust me, I know this from experience. Those three days where he wouldn't let me near any of his stuff were hard. Bandit: Doesn’t he always do that? Twinkle: Yeah, but normally he’s not guarding them 24/7. Anyways, may- Remi: Hey! That girl over there with the tattered shirt! Isn’t she the new kid? Bandit: Yo, you’re right! Let’s go talk to her! Twinkle: Hey, just don’t influence her into one of us, okay? Remi & Bandit: *Disappointed* Okay. Scene 4 Scene: The Studio Zack, Jax, and Gavin are messing around in the Calders’ studio, trying to work on their song. Zack: Maybe something a little like this? Zack plays a drum beat. He nods his head to the beat. Jax: Hmm… Maybe. Keep that set to the side, so we can use it if we don’t like anything else. Gavin: Yeah, I second that. I’mma go get us some snacks. Gavin walks up the stairs to leave the recording studio, bumping into Nova. Gavin: *Nervously* H-Hey Nova! Heh! Di-Didn’t expect you to be down here! Hehe! Nova: Well, I come down here a lot, just to escape my brother. He’s… energetic, as you should know. Gavin: Heh, I can’t relate. Toby’s pretty chill and relaxed at home. In fact, I think the only time I’ve seen him hyper was when he was a little kid and got into the Halloween candy. He, umm… We didn’t have many treats for the Trick or Treaters. I think the only things we had were the caramel candies, because he hates caramel. Nova: That happened with us once, too! *Laughs* Nova continues to walk down the stairs after Gavin has left. Nova: Hey guys! Whatcha doing? Zack: Working on our song. Jax: Y-Yeah! W-Working our song! Zack, I’mma go up and get some snacks with Gavin, okay? Zack: Oh, yeah, got it. Go ahead. Scene 5 Scene: Russ Park Twinkle: Hey! You’re the new girl, right? Melody: Umm… Y-Yeah. I-I’m Melody F-From Melody Valley, California, hehe. Bandit: Hold on, you’re named Melody, and you’re from a place called Melody? Melody: Valley, but yeah, I guess I never noticed that, heh. Twinkle: Hi, my name’s Twinkle. This is Remi, and that’s Bandit. Melody: Twinkle? And you wear star glasses? Is it just me, or is that a little, umm, crazy? Twinkle: Huh? Why? Melody: Y’know, twinkle, twinkle, little- Twinkle: Oh. Well, I’m just glad I’m not named Tinkle. Bandit: Yeah, that’d be a nightmare. Melody: Anyways, I gotta go. See ya! Scene 6 Melody is walking home, when she runs into a boy. Toby: Hey! Aren’t you the new girl? My brother told me all about you! Because his friend told him all about you! Melody: Ooh… Kay… Anyways, yeah, I’m the new girl! And so far, this town seems really nice! Toby: Well, it’s named Friendly Beats! What did you expect? A place that would be fittingly called Rude Beats or something? Melody: Hehe, true! If it was called Rude Beats, me and my parents probably never would’ve moved here! Heh. Toby: Hey, you should come with me to my friend’s studio. Melody: Hold on, studio? Yep, I’m coming! I love music! Scene 7 Scene: The Studio Melody and Toby walk into the studio Melody: Hey Zack! Zack: Hey Melody! Toby brought ya here? Melody: Yeah. On the way he told me that you guys were making a song. Do you guys need anybody to sing? Zack: Umm, actually, yeah! Melody: Well, count me in! I love to sing! Zack: Here’s the lyrics. We don’t really know what the beat should sound like, so, go wild! Melody: *Singing beautifully* We feel the beat in our hearts, and it almost never stops, and when it starts, our hearts go ba-bop, ba-bop, ba-bop! Zack grabs his phone, and shows her a picture of the mind-blown emoji Melody: Wow, thanks! Credits
