How to Rock

Okay, question.

Am I losing my mind, or is that guy riding a unicorn?

That's really two questions.

Hello?

Am I the only person that finds this weird?

We're used to this, Zander.

Every year Justin Comb has a new.

Gimmick for giving out his party invitations.

What a surprise.

He's inviting all The Perfs.

The first invitation.

Thanks, Justin.

First invitation after Molly but before everyone else's?

Thanks, Justin.

I gotta say, this is better than that Ostrich you wore last year.

That thing pecked me right in the old groinerino.

Wow. This must be some party.

Oh yeah.

Last year he had pigs in a blanket that were actually served by a pig in a blanket.

Wow! Really?

Don't ask us.

We've never been invited.

Well, I mean, it wasn't that great.

Will. I.Am only sang three songs.

Oh!

Kacey.

I'll see you Saturday.

Actually, Justin, you won't.

I'm not coming.

Excuse me?

You know I'm not a perfect anymore.

These are my friends now.

And if they're not invited, then I'm not coming.

Are you sure? Because we're having this amazing...

Don't tell me.

I don't want to know.

Is it a costume photo booth?

Don't tell me!

I don't want to know.

You know what?

Your friends can come.

If you vouch for them, they must be cool.

Not only are they cool, we're in a band, and we are awesome.

And if you're lucky, we might just rock your party.

Well, cool. I can't believe I never met these guys before.

Actually, you and I were in kindergarten together.

Yeah.

You were that kid that used to run away from his own farts.

Still do.

Stop talking, Nelson.

I'll see you guys at the party.

Itate ta ti-anna, multipurpose room four.

That's really cool of you.

You're my friends.

And friends don't let friends miss awesome parties.

Well done, Kacey.

This party will totally cement your new reputation.

Yes, it will. Wait. What new reputation.

As a former perfect, now with embarrassing losers.

Ouch.

I thought you were saying something nice to her, and then whammo.

You know what?

My friends are going to rock Justin's party.

Hey, Nelson, you're right.

You can make a perfectly good mustache out of cheese curls.

Right?

Okay. Now you may be wondering why I've called you all here.

You didn't call us all here.

We were rehearsing, and you just started talking.

Okay.

You may be wondering why I just started talking during rehearsals.

Is this a lecture on how we should act at Justin Cole's party?

No.

It's to answer any questions

you may have on how you should act at Justin Cole's party.

I don't have any questions. You guys?

- No. - Zero questions here.

- I'm good. - You don't understand.

You have no idea how to act at a party like this.

This is the first big party Gravity 5 is going to as a crew.

If any one of us comes off badly,

badly, and by one of us, I mean one of you, we all look bad.

Do you know what, Kacey?

Don't do me any favors.

I have no interest in going to this stupid party.

So you have one less problem to worry about.

That's fantastic!

I'll miss you. Love you. Mean it.

Okay.

Try to visualize. You are at Justin Cole's party.

Everywhere you are surrounded by the coolest students in the school.

These cookies are stuck together.

They're plastic.

That was my second complaint.

But I didn't want to seem too negative.

They're just for display, not for eating.

Come on, guys. I know you think this just one party.

This party has the power to dictate the rest of your High School life.

I appreciate your passion, Kacey but I'll skip the training.

I've been to lots of parties.

You're right, Zander. You're cool.

But just out of curiosity, what are you planning to wear Saturday night?

I don't know. I don't plan what I'm going to wear.

I just wear what I wear.

I got my style. It works for me.

Probably does, but you're not gonna...

Wear what you're wearing right now, right?

- Of course not. - Whoo.

Why?

No big deal.

It's just that this is an important party, and those are everyday clothes.

Which is why I'm not going to wear them as I said.

- Good. - No, not good. Great.

Is there any food here made of food?

Stop with the food.

You need to mingle. Mingle. Mingle.

Hey, how you doing?

- How's it going? - Great to see you.

- You look great. - No, you do.

Okay. Both of us do.

Conversation. Go.

Hey, Grace.

Okay. That's good. Now keep going.

In fifth grade I saw your butt.

No! Is that the best you can do?

Yes.

This ain't so bad.

Focus.

So Kacey, if I needed help figuring out what to wear to this party,

which I don't, what do you think about something like this?

That would be totally wrong.

Right. This is exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

Zander, you just need to wear something dressy

but not too dressy and make sure that it's sophisticated

but not too stuffy and and chic but not too trendy.

You don't have to spend a lot of money as long as it doesn't look cheap. Got it?

What's not to get?

The county fair is in town on Saturday night.

You're not going to Justin Cole's party?

No. I am.

I just thought that you might want to be someplace that's as far away as possible

from where your new friends will be humiliating themselves and some.

At someplace that has a petting zoo.

Well, thank you, but I think I'll be at Justin Cole's party.

Stop thinking about the petting zoo.

How did you know?

Stevie, right?

Oh, hi. I didn't recognize you without your unicorn.

That was a little over the top, wasn't it?

Just a bit.

Hey, I was disappointed to hear you're not coming to the party on Saturday.

You were?

Yeah. You seem like you're pretty cool.

I was hoping to see you there.

I can come.

I mean I couldn't come when I said I couldn't come because I had a thing

which is a real thing and not a made-up thing.

But now that thing isn't a thing anymore, so I can come.

Great.

- I'll see you there. - Great.

So I'm thinking I might just swing by the party for a little bit.

What?

But you haven't even gone through any of the training.

I don't need training. It's just a party.

It's not just a party. It's Justin Cole's party.

Oh my gosh! I have no clothes.

Calm down. Go get your bag. I'm taking you to the mall.

Hi, Kacey.

Out of the way!

The county fair might be fun.

- Ah. Hey, Justin. - I feel weird.

You look fantastic!

- I look like you. - Same difference.

- Dude, smell my breath. - You smell mine.

Hah.

Stop smelling each other.

Now, come on. Remember your training.

You can do this. Let's rock this party.

Kacey, can you please take these off?

In a little while.

- Kacey! - Come on!

Okay.

But you have to promise me that you'll be good.

- We promise. - Okay.

I'm going to unzip this a little. It's hot.

Zander, trust me, you don't want to do that.

If people see a square inch of that ugly shirt you bought, you're dead in the water.

I only bought it because you got in my head and I couldn't think it.

Besides autogot this cool shirt. Check it. It got a cool collar.

Zip it and keep it zipped.

Can't breathe.

All right, Kacey, let's get fabulous.

Look at you. Dang!

- Hey, how you doing? - Howdy.

What's up?
