Okay, here's a list of all the horrible things that happened to Nick yesterday. Now it's our job to make sure they all happen again.
Joe
Spackle bucket. (Nick slides down the pole and steps into the bucket of spackle)
Kevin: Check. You never know, it could have been the landing into the bucket that led into the dream that led to the song, Nick.
That's what I figured. That's why today I wore your favorite shoes. (Nick shows Kevin that he is wearing Kevin's favorite shoes)
Okay, look, I appreciate you guys doing this to try to make the deadline, but don't go overboard, okay? (talking to Kevin and Joe about Nick) Stay on him. Wring him like a damp washcloth if you gotta.
Joe
Milk, check.
We covered this one last night.
Joe
Yes, we did, but it didn't count because it was last night and it was Kevin and it was low-fat.(Nick picks up a spoon to hit Joe then Nick bends the spoon instead hitting Joe with it) Don't hit me because you didn't hit me yesterday.
Hey. I fixed the jacket. Look, I know it was an accident, so try it on. Any luck with song-writing?
Actually, I wrote a song in a dream I had last night.
Nick: Then I forgot it. So in order to have the same dream again, I have to repeat everything I did yesterday.
It was bound to happen eventually. (he starts to tear apart the seams)
Well, the only thing you did yesterday, I could remember was ruin my jacket. No! no no no No! No! (she takes back the jacket)
I'm sorry. It's for the band.
Joe
Stella, it's for the band. (Stella goes to other door but Kevin is blocking her way)
Look, an aardvark. (she distracts Kevin)
I'm not gonna fall for that one.(he and Stella have a staring contest with each other then he falls for her trick and she leaves the classroom while he is distracted)
Joe
Kevin!
I can't believe I fell it again.
Joe
Check.
Stop! (he wants Nick to be pooped by the birds) Go! (Kevin, Joe, Nick and Stella runs from the atrium)
Joe
Boo!
No! No! Nobody is gonna rip this jacket except me. (she rips the jacket instead of Kevin, Joe and Nick)
There's one more thing. (he starts to unravel the seams)
Sorry, Stell, we have to repeat everything.
Well, in that case...(she rips Nick's shirt sleeves again and she takes one of his shirt sleeves then she storms off)
Joe
Check.
Joe
Are you sure you broke the guitar? (he looks at the list while Kevin is eating cereal)
Yeah! (he replies to Joe while he washes off in the bathroom)
Joe
Okay, looks like we've covered everything on the list. (Joe puts the clipboard on the ottoman then he picks up the blanket) (Nick enters the bedroom he then walks to the armchair that he was sitting on yesterday and Joe puts the blanket on him)
All that you have to do now is go back to sleep and dream that awesome song. But, you know, no pressure.
Joe
Nick, don't worry if have to cancel the tour and the album. You know, we can always find different jobs like a stuntman or a hand model. (looks at his hand)
Not helping. (he goes to sleep)
Do you want my eye mask? (he offers Nick the eye mask)
No. (talks while sleeping)
How about a foot rub? (Kevin offers to give Nick a foot massage)
How about a face punch? (he wakes up to give Kevin a punch in the face)
Looks like somebody need a nap. (Nick goes back to sleep)
Joe
I can smell it. It's a hit song. (he and Kevin are near Nick's face)
It's just sizzling inside his brain.
I can't sleep with you guys staring at me. (he wakes up to find that Kevin and Joe are on both sides of him)
Joe
Sorry, Nick. Kevin, stop staring at him. (he and Kevin leave Nick alone)
TTV
We'll be right back after this message from Crunchy Cats. Crunchy crunchy, meow meow meow...
Oh no! (he wakes up after hearing the tune)
TTV
Crunchy crunchy, meow meow meow...
Joe
What's wrong?
Crunchy cats. (picks up the cereal box then drops it and he runs to his area with Kevin and Joe)
Joe
What?
Ahh! The song that I wrote in my dream.
You mean, it's already on the television? You are amazing!
I must have heard it in my sleep and then dreamt I wrote it.
Kevin: You've got to be kidding.
Joe
No way.
I can't believe the awesome song I thought I wrote turns out to be "Crunchy Cats."
Joe
We're toast.
I repeated every horrible thing that happened to me yesterday. I did it all again and I got nothing. (he decides to throw Mr. Bumbles but Kevin won't let Nick do that)
NO! Not Mr. Bumbles. Take it out on the keyboard! It's okay (he pets the teddy bear)
No song, no album, no tour. (he bangs the keyboard feeling angry)
Joe
That's it.
Joe
Yeah.
I did it all again and I got nothing I did it all again and I got nothing... I did it all again and I got nothing I did it all again and I got nothing yeah
Woo hoo! Great song! Oh, studio, album, back on! (he imitates gunshots) That was a little over the top. Sorry. Just have been a nervous wreak all week. (he laughs)
Joe
All it took was Nick getting really angry and we got an awesome song.
Now all I have to do is apologize to Stella for the jacket and Amy for making her asking me out twice. You guys with me? (He, Joe and Kevin are going to slide down the poles then Joe and Kevin got their leg stuck in a spackle bucket)
Joe
Yeah.
You wrote that down somewhere, right?
Yeah, and it was so awesome how much chocolate pudding there was and of course, it was just a dream.
Joe
Kevin's point that everything Nick told you about having to repeat his day was totally true.
Yeah, it wasn't some lame excuse, of trying to get out of going on a date with you.
The truth is, I'd love to go out with you.
Really? Okay, um, would you like to go out on a date with me?
Amy: I'm gonna say no. (she exits the elevator) But, ask me again tomorrow.
We'll see. (she walks away from the elevator)
This is starting out to be a good day.
Joe
Oh! Oh no!
Joe
Hey, Nick, have you seen Kevin? I wanna trade my tuna fish sandwich for his tuna fish sandwich.
What's the difference? They're both tuna fish. (he puts a book back in his locker)
Joe
I sat on mine. (shows Nick the flattened sandwich and Joe shakes his head) I'll tell him it's grilled.
He's at a pep-squad meeting getting ready for the big game on Saturday.(he shakes his head) He's really gotten into it.
Joe
Kevin? He's a rocker. He would never get into something that corny.
(he enters by doing a flip and the megaphone is thrown to him and he catches the megaphone then speaks via it) Attention, Horace Mantis Academy!(Joe and Nick are looking at Kevin) Come show your mantis pride by coming to the big game this Saturday!
CCheerleaders
(they enter) We got the moves all over you
CCheerleaders
Surrender to the mantis
CKCheerleaders and Kevin
Go, mantis! (Joe shakes his head and Nick claps)
(turns to Joe) Wow, you were right. Talk about corny. Wonder why he's gotten so into this cheerleading thing.
I just wish I had longer arms.
Joe
Nick, I'm surprised at you. Where's your school spirit? Hey, girls, wait up. Surrender to the mantis, something something something! (follows the cheerleaders and he leaves Nick alone)
Whoo! You guys, that sounded so awesome. Okay, wardrobe's all set.
Nick That's great. Everything is be perfect for Saturday morning.
I think it is so cool that you guys are performing on "Great Morning USA" live right here from the firehouse.
Yeah, and Dad said there were gonna be a million people watching all at the same time. That has to be a huge TV.
Yep. Oh! What is this? You guys invited to Jacques Le Fajette's spring preview? He's like my fashion designing idol. Please tell me you're going and please tell me you're taking me with you.
Joe
Who wants to see a bunch of dudes who look like they haven't slept in months stumble down a runway? No thank you.
Guys, um, this is the spring preview for women's fashions. That means there's gonna be, like 50 of the most beautiful women in the world there.
Joe
I'm there.
Yeah, Who said I wasn't going?
I've always been interested in women's fashion, since about three seconds ago.
Can't go. That's the day I mix the final tracks for the record. It's the only day we could lock in the studio. Sorry.
I can't go either. We have cheerleading practice on the trampolines.
Wait, can't you go anyway because--
Well, it looks like, it's just you and me. Do you wanna grab a bite or something before?
Joe
Cool.
Pretty exciting, Joe. Your first date with Stella.
Aw, we're really happy for you two crazy kids.
Joe
It's not a date. We're all going to the fashion show together, except you guys are not coming.
Yeah, sure, not a date with Stella... alone together.
Joe
Stella only sees me as a friend, okay?
Hey, Joe. Okay. Since we're going to the fashion as a couple, we probably don't wanna clash. So don't wear anything darker than royal blue or anything lighter I guess than sky blue. In fact, just stay the heck away from blue.
Joe
Stella, I just remembered, I can't make it that night.
Joe
I gotta trim my eyebrows. You know, these caterpillars can get out of control.
Yeah, I understand. Well, um, I was looking forward to it.
Joe
You were?
Yeah. I mean, to seeing all those fashions. Wow. Um... But we're still having lunch together tomorrow, right?
Joe
Absolutely.
Joe
(he turns to Nick and Kevin) No, it's not.
(he runs to Joe) Hey, Joe. Lunch today? I got an extra peanut butter mushroom sardine salami sandwich with your name on it.(gives the bag to Joe)
Joe
I think I'm coming down with something.
Aw. Got a case of the love bug, Joe?
Joe
I'm not dating Stella, okay? Didn't you see how I canceled on her about the fashion show?
Whatever. Let's just go get some lunch.
Joe
I can't. I've got lunch with Stella. Kevin, me and Stella have been best buds since we were in kindergarten, okay? We have a tight friendship. I don't wanna mess it up. I mean, would I like to go on a real date with Stella? Of course I would, but... Let's just pretend like I didn't say that.
Kevin: Too late you just did. (Opens his locker and puts the gross sandwich away in his locker and takes out a marker from it) I think it's time Dr. Kevin teaches you a lesson. (then he closes his locker)
Joe: Okay.
Kevin: (he draws faces on his locker) JONAS and Stella are a happy family. But what if one of these smiley faces does felt a certain way about another one of these smiley faces, and that same smiley face didn't the same way as the other smiley face? There'd be no more happy family. Only a sad family, singing sad songs in sad clothes to sad fans. Sad sad sad, very sad indeed.
Joe
(grabs the marker and reads it) This is not washable, Kevin.
I know. (he opens his locker) That's why I have this. (then he takes the paint and paintbrush out of his locker) I'm not dumb, you know.(Joe leaves with the non washable marker while Kevin repaints his locker)
Joe
(he walks down the stars) Stella.
(she turns around) Oh, hey.
Joe
Hey, I can't do lunch today.
Joe
I have to put reinforcements in all my loose-leaf holes.
Yeah, right, okay. Well, how about tomorrow?
Joe
I can't.
Joe
Hm-mm.
Joe
Sorry.
Oh, okay. You know what? No, not okay, Joe. I mean, if I didn't know that we were just friends, I'd assume that you were sending me some kind of a message.
Joe
What message?
Oh, I don't know. Usually when cancels on me twice in a row and then three more times in a row. I kind of assume I'm not that person's favorite person. (she leaves upset)
Joe
Stella, wait. (he walks after Stella) Come with me to the big game on Saturday.
Joe
Come with me. I can get courtside seats. My brother's s cheerleader.
Okay, that sounds really great. Go, mantises.
Joe
Awesome, we're on. It's a da-ate-- It's we're on. (he walks away from Stella then she leaves)
I can't believe you're going to miss our school's basketball championship. Where is your school spirit?
(he stands up cheering with one arm and Kevin looks at him annoyed then Nick sits back down) That was it.
Joe, are you almost ready? (Joe goes upstairs) Stella's gonna be here any minute. I have to be there early before the pep rally.
Joe
My cold's gotten worst. I don't wanna disappoint Stella again. (Tom enters the bedroom) She was really hurt last time.
Tom: Hey, Joe, I heard you have a cold, and you're going out to some basketball game tonight? This doctor prescribes a little no way, Jose.
Joe
Come on, dad.
You're singing "Great Morning USA" tomorrow morning. Millions of TVs are gonna be tuning in to JONAS.
Oh, now, I get it. (Nick shakes his head)
Joe
I'm fine. (he sneezes)
Don't make me sic mom on you. You don't want her coming at you with grandma's thermometer.(he leaves the bedroom and Stella enters)
Hey! So what do you think? (shows Joe the outfit) Just something I threw on, in, like, six hours
Joe
Stella, I can't go. I'm sick.
No, Joe, you're wrong. You're more than sick. You're about to be dead.
Joe
I'm sorry.
Look, Joe, if you don't wanna hang out with me anymore. Totally that's fine. I'll still be your stylist. I just wish, you wouldn't feed me, with one excuse one after another, you know? Just have some respect for me. (she leaves upset)
Joe
I don't understand.
Do you want me to draw some more smiley faces?
Joe
Stella's more mad at me than ever. Will somebody please tell me what to do? Kevin. Forget it. Nick?
Joe
Never mind. Kevin. Wait, Nick's right. I should take Stella to the game. Thanks, Nick.
Joe
But I knew what you were thinking. You and me.
Joe, if you sing bad tomorrow, it'll look the band look bad. Plus, you can't disobey dad like that just because you hurt somebody's feelings.
Joe
It's not someone. It's Stella. (he goes to the pole)
Why'd you give him that idea?
Well, yeah. All I said was... So technically, you're more to blame.
All I said was "well." (he closes the book and storms off)
Joe
(he slides down the middle pole and runs to her) Stella. Stella, wait.
Joe
I'm sorry. Do you still wanna go to the game with me?
Joe
Sick. What gave you that idea? (he sneezes) I always sneeze before the big games. It's good luck.
Joe
But in a cute way, right?
Barely. Come on, let's go.
Joe
Go, mantises!
Joe
Go, praying mantises! (he coughs)
Joe
I'm fine. I'm fine. Kick their butt-- (he continues to cough)
Mm-hmm. He said kick their butts! (tells the crowd)
Joe
Whoo! (coughs)
Hi, guys. Can me and Nick steal these seats?
Hey, Macy. That's not Nick. That's Randolph dressed as Nick.
I meant Nick like nickname Nick. Come on, Nick. Let's go get some nachos. (they leave)
Hey, I'm really glad we're doing this. (Joe coughs) It was weird there for a while. It was like you were trying to avoid me.
Joe
Avoid you? How could I avoid you? I mean, we go to school together. We work together. (he still coughs) That was awesome. Did you see that?
I know. I just-- Still you were making it pretty impossible to keep a date
Joe
This is not one of those.
One of what? (a basketball swishes then Stella and Joe are cheering) You mean a date?
Joe
We're not doing that.
Joe
Nothing. I'm just trying to protect an important friendship.
Joe
We're not on one of those things that people go on--those things.
You mean like a date? A date.
Joe
(speaking gibberish)
Joe, you are being ridiculous. I mean, it's like you have a problem with us dat--
Joe
Gahh.
Joe
But, we're not.
Yeah, I know. I realize that. I'm just saying it seems you'd have a problem with it if we were, which we are not. Right. If being alone with me is so traumatic for you, don't worry about it because it's never gonna happen again. (she leaves the game)
Joe
Stella, Stella, wait. Stell- (coughs)
Joe
What are you doing here?
Thought I'd listen to Kevin's advice, and have a little more school spirit. The only reason I don't come to these games because I never meet anyone like myself.
Nachos? (he offers Nick nachos and Macy is fixing the wig)
I'll see you at home. (he leaves)
(he stops walking then he puts his arms on both sides to stop Joe and Nick from walking)Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?
That walking this way looks really cool but makes us late for class?
Joe
Auditions tomorrow for "The Three Musketeers"? (sees the sign up sheet and reads the title of the play)
(walks to the sign up sheet then he turns back around) We should totally audition. We would be perfect! (Says to Joe and Nick after talking about the play) Plus, we get to wear hats with feathers!
I don't joke around about a feathered hat.
Joe
Guys, but we're not actors.
When you told Nick his hair wasn't big this morning, that was acting.
I rely on you. (he touches his hair)
Joe
But it looks great now.
Joe
Wow, I guess I can act. (Nick looks at Joe then Kevin is heard laughing)
I'm gonna put our names down. (writes his name along with Joe's and Nick's names on the sheet)
If we do this, we take it seriously.
And I want a humungous sword.
Joe
This could be fun.
And a leather patch to put my turkey leg in. What? (Joe and Nick are looking at him) In the old days, they didn't have lunch boxes.
You know, it would be really cool for us to be "The Three Musketeers."
Joe
Let's do it.
KJKevin, Joe and Nick
One for all; all for one! (Joe and Nick put their hands on top of each other and Kevin puts his turkey leg on Joe's hand while holding it)
That's a little-- Um, we should work on that.
Yeah, definitely. (Joe and Nick leave) Ehh, there's a hair on my turkey leg. (removes the hair from the food)
Joe
Don't mind if I do.
Joe
Don't mind if I don't. (throws it on Frankie then he walks away and Nick enters the bedroom)
(takes the towel) I'll take it. And instead five bucks, I'll let you to continue to live here. (he leaves then Kevin leaves the bathroom with five bucks)
Hey, man, here you go. (he puts the five bucks in the tip jar) Hit me. Ahh, invigorating.
(he runs upstairs) Hey, you guys, today's your big audition for "The Three Musketeers," right?
Need any acting pointers? I got rave reviews in my kindergarten production "Safety on a School Bus."
Music and singing come naturally to us, so we're just gonna go with our instincts.
Instincts? Great. Really bad idea. Let me give you a few pointers.
Joe
No, thanks, dad.
Few pointers? How about a few pointers?
Dad, would you give us a few acting pointers? (he puts down the guitar)
Okay, if you insist. Come on. All right, look, acting-- the key is right here-- it's all in the face, okay? All right? Let's run through some acting expressions, okay? Start with anger. RRR! That's good, anger. Angry! (Joe and Kevin are doing the expressions with Tom except Nick) Okay, all right. Um, bravery. "Oh, nothing can hurt me. I'm so brave. Okay, that's good. Okay, and now try joy. Right into joy.
Joe
"For me!"
Ooh, Kevin! Your body language is fantastic. Joe, great energy. Nick, I think you show a little bit of that quiet star power as I did as boy with motion sickness.
(he sits on the ottoman) Okay. Now let give you some warm-ups to get your speech clear and your focus centered, okay? (Joe, Kevin and Nick are just looking at Tom) MMM--MMAHH! MMM--EH! MM--EHH! (blowing raspberries) (Joe is looking at Tom) (giggling) (exhaling, mumbling) (Kevin, Joe and Nick are walking away) Yeegaa! Boys? (notices that Kevin, Joe and Nick aren't there)
Move 'em or lose 'em pal! (trying to keep finding it but Kevin and Joe blocks her way then she looks up at them) Oh, sorry. (she stands up)
What are you doing, Macy?
Oh, I lost my lucky charm. I can't play without it and we have basketball game.
Joe
Well, maybe we can help you. What does it look like?
It’s a little charm that says, “You're #1”, and without it I feel like #2.
Joe
Macy?
Joe
You don't need a lucky charm.
Yes, I do. It helps me win and I like to win.
Macy, it's your hard work and talent that make you a great athlete.
You know what? We don't want you to be late for the game. So you go ahead and me and Joe will stay here and look.
Right. Okay. (she runs to the game)
Joe
Man, some people are so superstitious. I don't get it. I've used the same blue panda pencil forever on all my math tests. And I don't use it because I'm superstitious. I just always have it with me. Wait, where's my blue panda pencil? (he checks his pants) No! No! (he takes various stuff out of his pockets to find it) No. (sighs) Here it is-- my blue panda pencil.(kisses it)
Hey, Stella. Which role are you trying out for? (Joe is angry at Van Dyke)
Oh, I'm gonna to try out for this lady with the fancy French name that I can't pronounce.
Oh, well, it says here that she's beautiful. You'll definitely get the part.
Joe
Stella! (he walks to her and Van Dyke) There you are. I looked all over. What did you want to talk to me about?
Joe
Me too. We're so in sync, you and me. You and me.(he takes her away from Van Dyke)
(he and Nick are walking to Mrs Snark) Hey, Mrs. Snark, my brothers and I are here to audition.
SMiss Snark
I heard that JONAS was in the house. And by "house", I obviously mean theatre not hizzy.
Right. Um, but we're not here as JONAS, just Nick, Kevin and Joe auditioning like everyone else. We don't want any special treatment.
SMiss Snart
Gentlemen, I am a woman of the theatre and biology lab. I award roles on the sole basis of talent. I assure you, you're going to prove yourselves like everyone else. Next!
SMiss Snark
Brilliant! You've got the part.
Perfection! You've got the part.
Joe
(clears throat) Ahem.
SMiss Snark
Magnificent! You've got the part.
