Script
[On the school bus, Lincoln, Stella, and Rusty are riding along, Rusty is snoozing. When the bus stops, Rusty gets thrown against the seat in front of him and wakes up, the rest of the gang boards]
Stella: "Hey guys, ready for Friday Share?
Clyde: "Heck yes! I brought my dream journal to read excerpts from."
Liam: "And I brought my prize piglet."
[Liam shows them the piglet, they are awed by it. Zach comes up]
Zach: "Yah, I blanked on the assignment 'til like two minutes ago, and grabbed a random take-out menu by the door, so..."
Rusty: [Takes out a picture of himself] "I brought this sweet portrait I commissioned on the boardwalk, really captured my rugged essence."
[Awkward beat]
Stella: "Well, can't lie, I'm pretty excited about my 'Friday Share'." [Takes an egg shaped object out of her backpack, its wind up key starts turning and it plays sweet piano music, the boys are awed by it, the music box opens up revealing a dancing elephant, and the boys love it even more. Stella turns it off] "My Granny and I found it at the flea market, it was broken and rusted shut, but, she's a total wizard and helped me fix it."
Rusty: [Nudges Zach] "Bet you're really regretting that take-out menu now, huh?
[At school, Zach is sharing his take-out menu]
Zach: "Feeling bold? Try Giovanni Chang's penne a-la eggroll. Need delivery? it's F, R, E, E, free baby, thank you."
Mrs. Johnson: "Hmm, you get a C for preparedness, but an A for improve. So, a B."
Zach: "Score!"
Mrs. Johnson: "Alright, Miss Stella, what do you have to share with us today?"
[Stella grabs her backpack, and looks for her music box, but gasps when she sees that it's not there]
Stella: "I, can't, find it."
Mrs. Johnson: "Did everyone forget this assignment?"
Stella: [Dumps her backpack on the floor] "No, I had it on the bus, I swear."
Lincoln: "She did! She did!"
Liam: "She showed us."
Zach: "I saw it."
Clyde: [Starts pirouetting] "There was this elephant that dances like this."
Mrs. Johnson: "Okay, okay," [chuckles] "I believe you, we'll get to you next Friday."
Stella: "But, where did it go?"
[At Lunch, Stella can't focus on anything other than her music box]
Rusty: "Stell," [waves his hand in her face] "hey Stells, trade you my delicious cold fish soup for that lame toasted meatball sub."
Stella: [Not even paying attention] "Huh? Sure, whatever."
[Stella is about to trade, when Clyde blows a whistle, actually getting Stella's attention]
Clyde: "As trade commissioner, I have to point out; this is a terrible deal."
Stella: "Thanks Clyde. Sorry, I just can't stop thinking about my music box. What could have happened to it?"
Zach: [Whispers] "Uh, I don't wanna be, that guy, but," [looks around] "maybe the rat beast took it."
[The other boys gasp]
Rusty: "Don't even joke, man."
Stella: [Still being the new kid] "What are you talking about?"
[Zach looks around and gestures for everyone to follow him, and the boys sink under the table. Stella watches her friends do this, and follows them]
Zach: "It's a Royal Woods Elementary legend; it all began one faithful day in the school science lab," [Flashback to that faithful day] "an experiment went badly wrong."
[A beaker overheats and bursts all over some rats]
Rusty: "And a cage full of lab rats mutated into one giant hideous creature."
[A shadow of the rats is shown merging into one huge beast]
Liam: "With glowin' green eyes, razor sharp fangs, and too many slimy pink tails to count."
[End of flashback]
Boys: "The Rat Beast."
Lincoln: "That's when things started going missing."
Clyde: "And people started hearing strange sounds in the halls."
Zach: "And haven't you noticed the weird smell in the vents, kinda like..."
Stella: [Gasps] "Corn chips?"
Zach: "Yeah-huh, that's the beast."
Stella: "Has anyone tried to track it down?"
Liam: "Nuh-uh, it swiped my harmonica, but, it's welcome to keep it. I'm not lookin' to tussle with a mutant."
Stella: [Determined] "Well, I'm not giving up my music box, I'm finding the Rat Beast!"
Lincoln: "We'll help." [The other boys act casual] "Come on, Stella's our friend, we can't let her do this alone."
[The boys agree]
Stella: [Touched] "Oh," [hugs Liam and Clyde] "thanks guys. Now let's start gathering some intel." [Cut to a sideways three-panel shot of her taking out a notepad, and clicking a pen] "Tell me everything you know."
Girl Jordan: "The Rat Beast swiped my gold hoops when I took them off for dodgeball."
Mollie: "Yeah, I heard that thing in the band room. It stole my lucky Canadian penny."
Hassan: "One time when Principal Huggins was chewing me out, I saw two of its gnarly tails in the air vent."
Stella: [Writes it down in her pad] "Thanks, Hassan." [The bell rings and Hassan wheels off; To the boys] "Great, there's recess. Let's go check out our leads."
[Lincoln and Stella head off in one direction while Clyde and Liam head off the other. Rusty nervously chuckles.]
Zach: [Grabs Rusty's arm and drags him off] "Come on, let's go."
[The gymnasium. A basketball hits the backboard and bounces off the rim of the net, the girl catches it and keeps playing as Lincoln and Stella walk in.]
Stella: "Girl Jordan had her earrings swiped in here. [She and Lincoln look under one of the benches] Keep your eyes peeled of any sign of the beast. Claw marks, squeaking..."
[The two sniff around and gasp]
Lincoln and Stella: "Corn chips!"
[They keep sniffing and it leads them to Coach Pacowski's office]
Stella: The smell is coming from here."
[They open the door and find Coach Pacowski dancing to his mixtape. His pants rip and gets startled when he notices the two. He pauses his mixtape as Lincoln and Stella sheepishly smile.]
Coach Pacowski: "This is my free period! I can do what I like."
Lincoln and Stella: "Sorry, Coach P."
[They both shut the door. Once Coach Pacowski sees they're gone, he plays his mixtape and resumes dancing. Lincoln and Stella have their backs leaning against the door.]
Lincoln: "Guess that smell wasn't the Rat Beast."
[They both cringe.]
[In the band room, Zach looks under a tuba, and Rusty approaches him with an acoustic guitar]
Rusty: "Check out this sweet axe."
Zach: "You don't even know how to play it."
Rusty: "Says who?!" [Suddenly the supply closet door creaks, the boys get scared] "The Rat Beast!" [They hide behind some timpani drums, Rusty pushes Zach with the guitar] "You go!"
Zach: "No, you! You're taller!"
[The door slowly begins opening, the boys shake with fear, when suddenly, Norm comes out]
Norm: "Glad you boys are here, you can help me scrape the gum off the music stands."
[Rusty and Zach aren't very happy about this]
[In the office, Clyde peeks out from behind the couch, and Liam peeks out from a plant, Cheryl is at her desk.]
Cheryl: "Hmm, paperwork done, Principal Huggins is at the barber. Maybe I can slip away for a latte, and some... [She takes out her hair pin and her hair falls to her shoulders] Cheryl time."
[Cheryl walks out of the office as Clyde and Liam peek out from behind the door. They then approach near Cheryl's desk.]
Clyde: "Okay, Hassan said he saw the Rat Beast's tail in the air vent." [Points to said air vent]
Liam: [looks through] "Hmm, uh, nothing but dust bunnies in here."
Clyde: [Notices something under Cheryl's desk] "Liam, look! Two of its tails."
[They stumble as the ladder gives away and they both fall to the ground. They look at the "tails" and back away. Just then, Cheryl catches them.]
Cheryl: [gasps] "What are you boys doing? Oh, y'all found my lanyard!" [Picks up her lanyard from under her desk] "Can't get my administration discount at the Burnt Bean without it." [leaves]
[Clyde and Liam look at each other annoyed.]
