This was mostly written by PAIGE, but her buzznet account wouldn't let me upload it from there. So for some reason it's working on mine...? Weird. But anyway, here it is!

This is based off of 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!' by Charles Schulz. If you haven't seen it before, go watch it on youtube or rent it at your local video store!
Also, you should use music from Charlie Brown, if you have it available to you. If not, whatever. :)

It's The Great Pumpkin, The Academy Is...!
by Paige & Phoebe

Scene 1:
(shows Sisky walking onto the bus with a large pumpkin, followed by Mike. Mike gets out a knife with which to carve the pumpkin, but Sisky stands between Mike and the pumpkin)
Sisky: You can't kill the pumpkin man!
(show Mike looking disgruntled)
-end scene-

Scene 2:
(show William hanging around outside somewhere. Mike walks onscreen holding a football)
Mike: Hey Bill, I found a football. Want to practice some kicks?
William: Come on man, I'm not stupid. You're going to pull the ball away when I go to kick it.
Mike: No, I'm not. Seriously man. I'll hold it steady.
William: You just want to see my miss and fall. Just like last time when I almost killed myself.
Mike: This time you can trust me.
William (thinks for a moment): I'll only do it if you give me some sort of proof that you're not lying.
Mike: Look, I'll shake on it.
William (looks skeptical): Alright.
(Mike and William do a ridiculous *secret* handshake made up by the band. Mike then kneels down and holds the ball in place for William to kick it)
Mike: I'm ready when you are.
(William runs up to kick the football, but Mike pulls it away and William misses and trips/falls when he kicks the air)
Mike: Funny thing about that handshake- we forgot to high-five at the end to make it offical.
(Mike walks off and William stays on the ground, looking defeated)
-end scene-

Scene 3:
(Sisky is sitting at a table with a pen and paper when William walks up)
Sisky (writing but talking out loud): Dear Great Pumpkin, I can't wait to see you at our show on Halloween night. Please bring lots of awesome fans with you. And I'd really like it if the Bears won the Superbowl this year.
William: Who are you writing to Sisky?
Sisky: The Great Pumpkin! On Halloween night he comes out of his pumpkin patch and flies to the best show he can find. He brings with him the best fans ever.
William: That's dumb Sisky. When are you going to stop believing in shit that isn't true?
Sisky: How do you know this isn't true? It is so true as long as you believe. (Starts singing Don't Stop Believing by Journey and William walks away shaking his head. The Butcher walks by with Mike and starts laughing at Sisky. Mike stops to talk)
Mike: Not again. Writing a letter to a stupid pumpkin? You make our band the laughing stock of the tour! All they talk about is my bandmate who writes to the Great Pumpkin
(cut to two members of Hey Monday whispering suspiciously about Sisky writing letters to a pumpkin)
Mike: You got to stop it. Right now.
(Mike walks away)
Sisky: There are certain things I've learned to never talk to people about. The Great Pumpkin is one of them.
(Travis walks in)
Travis: Hey Sisky, what's going on? What are you doing in here by yourself?
Sisky: I'm not telling.
Travis: Oh, come on, I won't laugh Sisky.
Sisky: I'm writing to the Great Pumpkin. On Halloween night he flies to the sweetest gig in town and the best crowd follows. Do you want to sit in the parking lot with me on Halloween night and wait for The Great Pumpkin?
Travis: Sure. That sounds awesome.
(William walks in)
William: What's going on? Are you telling Travis about your stupid pumpkin?
(William shakes his head and drags Travis offscreen. Sisky goes back to writing his letter.)
-end scene-

Scene 4:
(Show Michael & Butcher hanging out)
Michael: Did you hear about the party later?
Butcher: Yeah, it's on We The King's bus, right?
Michael: Yeah, it should be pretty good.
Butcher: Totally.
(Sisky walks by on the way to the parking lot holding a sign that says “Welcome Great Pumpkin”)
Michael: I think he's lost his mind.
Butcher: Yeah, I think you're right.
(They shrug and walk off)
-end scene-

Scene 5
(Cut to Michael, Butcher, William, Travis, and Mike all wearing various Halloween costumes)
Travis: Hey guys, where's Sisky?
Mike: The stupid blockhead is sitting out in the parking lot, waiting for some Great Pumpkin to appear. What a load of shit.
Michael: He's making a fool of himself.
Travis: Maybe there is a great pumpkin.
Michael: He's going to miss trick or treating and then the Halloween party.
Butcher: He'll never learn.
Travis: Can I come trick or treating with you guys?
William: Sure, lets go.
-end scene-

Scene 6
(show William, Travis, Butcher, Michael, and Mike walking to a few tour buses/vans and knocking on the door. When the door opens, they collectively yell “trick or treat” and are given candy... except for William. He gets rocks)
Butcher: Lets go back to the bus and check out what we got.
William: They keep giving me rocks.
(zoom in on William looking depressed)
-end scene-

Scene 7:
(Show Travis stepping off the bus to go find Sisky in the parking lot)
Travis (sitting down next to Sisky): Hey Sisky. How's the waiting.
Sisky: It's fine. No sign of the Great Pumpkin yet, though.
Travis: You're missing the Halloween party.
Sisky: I don't care. Each year the Great Pumpkin comes to the best show in town. He's gotta pick this one. He's gotta. There's nothing but great music going on in that venue tonight.
Travis: Alright dude, I'll wait with you.
-end scene-

Scene 8:
(show that time has elapsed between scene 7 and 8)
Travis: I don't think this Great Pumpkin is going to show Sisky.
Sisky: Oh he will. Just you wait.
(They hear a rumbling and look into the distance)
Sisky (jumping up): It's here! It's here! The Great Pumpkin has arrived!
(A swarm of fans waiting to get into the venue run towards Sisky)
Travis: Oh shit.
(Sisky falls over from excitement of seeing “The Great Pumpkin” and the scene fades to black)
-end scene-

Scene 9:
(Back on TAI's bus, Sisky wakes up in confusion and sees Michael and Butcher)
Butcher: Oh hey guys, he's awake.
Sisky: Is he here? Did I miss him?
Michael: Sisky, the only people here are the ones who want to see the show. There is no Great Pumpkin.
Butcher: We go on in 15 minutes, do you think you can play Sisky?
Sisky: I have to wait for the Great Pumpkin guys! He hasn't come yet!
Michael: This is ridiculous Sisky. We have to go onstage.
(Mike walks on the bus and Butcher and Michael leave)
Mike: Sisky, we have to play. Come on man. We don't need some stupid pumpkin to show up, we have awesome fans waiting for us anyway.
Sisky: Really
Mike: Yeah, come on man. The crowd is waiting.
Sisky (stand up dramatically): Okay.
-end scene-

Scene 10:
(Zoom in on Sisky playing to an awesome crowd and loving it)
(TAI TV beep)
-end scene-

AND THAT'S THE END! I hope you enjoyed reading it, even if it's not the winning entry! We had a lot of fun coming up with the idea and such. :)
