THAT DAMNED SCHOLARSHIP!!!!! 

Class' intercom: Rebecca Ripley to the principal's office, please.
Laura <Rebecca's classmate> looks at a snoozing Rebecca on her right, decides to wake her up.
Laura: (shakes Rebecca) Wake, up, Becca!
Rebecca sniffs but still hasn't wake up yet.
Laura: (punches Rebecca) Wake up, darling, breakfast's ready!
Rebecca: (mumbles) Yeah, AJ honey,  be right down......
Laura: What the... dreaming the un-real again! Wake up, Rebecca!
Their Biology teacher: (cooly) Can't wake her up, Laura? I can't blame you.
Rebecca: (coming to her senses) What happened? Where am I?
Laura: (whispers) You're wanted in MD's Office!
Rebecca: Huh? Mike Donahue doesn't have an office, he's an office cleaner, isn't he?
Laura: Who I meant by MD is Mom of Death, silly! You're wanted in her office!
Rebecca: Mrs. Wetherspoon's office? Why?
Laura: Don't know!
 

Later on, at lunch time

Rebecca: Have I got news for you, my baby!
Catherine: And what is that, Ms. Oh-I'm-so-excited-today-that-I-forgot-to-say-hello-to-my-bestest-bestfriend?
Rebecca: What?
Catherine: NEVER MIND! What's the news?
Rebecca: I'm nominated for a scholarship program! (screeches)
Catherine: A what?!
Rebecca: NEVER MIND!
Catherine: Seriously, a scholarship? Is it possible that the program is called 'Found Talent'?
Rebecca: Yes, that's what MD told me. You look pale, are you okay?
Catherine: Becca! I'm nominated too!
Rebecca: Huh? But there's gonna be only one of us who will get the scholarship!
Catherine: She did tell me that there was going to be another competitor, but didn't tell me who! I never thought it's you! Oh God!
Rebecca: No way!
 

Nick and AJ are in Kevin's navy-blue minibus, Kevin's driving real slow that his passangers almost commit suicide
Nick: Hey Boner, which one of us gets dump first by our super driver?
Kevin: That will be you. That's your lady's house over there. Pink fence, right?
Nick: Yeah!
AJ: Get off quick, lucky boy!
Nick: Enjoy the ride, AJ! *blows a kiss*
AJ: Be sure to attend my funeral!
Nick: I will!
Kevin: Guys, please? I have a hot date too but I'm trying to get us there safely!
AJ: Okay Dad. Hit the gas.
Nick: (yells over) Don't pick me up! I'd rather walk home!

As the minibus drives away, Nick presses the doorbell 37 times.

Catherine: (Opens the door) Hey love! Come in!
Nick: Hey too, sweetheart! Where's the smoochie-smoochie?
Catherine: I'm not in the mood, Nicky. (pauses) But I miss you so what the heck. (censorred!!!)
Nick: Umh, that's more likely! So what's bothering you, hun?
Catherine: (speaks sadly) I'm nominated for college scholarship.
Nick: Wha-? But that's great! That's what you've always wanted to get!
Catherine: Not quite. I've never thought that I'd be competing with one of my bestest friends.
Nick: Really? That's pretty tough. (hugs her)
Catherine: Yeah I know.
Nick: So, who?
Catherine: (holds her breath) It's Rebecca.
 

Rebecca: Oh hell! AJ! Have I just got the worst nightmare!!!
AJ: Oh munchkin! (cuddles her) Still afraid of the dark, pretty?
Rebecca: No, silly! It's... it's that I'm competing a college scholarship with Catherine!
AJ: You don't mean that Catherine, do you?
Rebecca: The Catherine! Nick's Cathy!
AJ: (groans)
 

AJ and Nick talks.
AJ: Who's gonna get it?
Nick: The scholarship? I don't mean to brag, but I'm definitely positive Cath will get it!
AJ: (smirks) Why do you 'positively' say that? Becca isn't any dumber than Cath.
Nick: Sorry, but I think my girl has all the chance to. You can tell just by looking at her serious, strong, witty personality, and not to mention she's a hard-worker. How can she miss!
AJ: Hey-hey! Ain't that slightly big-headed? Really, my girl is the best in her class and she's always top in every subject!
Nick: Yeah, like the subject of 'entertaining AJ'.
AJ: Not funny at all, you ass!
Brian enters the room, right before he sees AJ hits Nick.
Brian: (runs to stop them both) Quit it you guys! What's the problem with you two?!
AJ: I ain't got no problem. He does.
Nick: What?! I didn't do anything! You saw him hit me, Brian? You can tell who's guilty already!
Brian: You both are! *sighs* Can't you guys act like your own age?
Nick: Silly me. I'm 18!
AJ: (in a highly pitched mocking voice) Silly me. I'm a 20-year-old kid! And Brian, usually it's you and Nick who act like kids!
Brian: Ooops! You got me! (laughs) But this one you guys are fighting for is ridiculous, (in lower voice) whatever that is.... (becomes all happy again) OK guys, peace up.
Brian forces Nick and AJ to hug each other.
 

AJ: I'm behind you 1000%, sugar.
Rebecca: And Nick is behind Cathy 1000% too?
AJ: Yeah.
Rebecca: I hope you guys didn't get upset with each other.
AJ: How'd you know that? Mind reader!
Rebecca: So I'm right? You guys hit each other?
AJ: Not if a small punch on his left eye doesn't count.
Rebecca: You can't do that to him! Now I feel really bad!
AJ: It ain't your fault at all! He said stupid things so I stopped him. It's natural.
Rebecca: You're making me feel worse...... I guess I'll have to do all this without you.
AJ: What do you mean?
Rebecca: From now on I don't need help or any kind of support from you at all. That's final. Now go.
She pushes AJ to the exit and slams the door infront of his face.
 

Catherine on the phone: What?! As in, you broke up with him?!
Rebecca: Didn't have anything else in my mind.
Catherine: Then I have to break up with Nick too! So that you and I are fair!
Rebecca: Don't do that just to get 'equal' with me! Think of what you'll lose!
Catherine: Don't stop me! I have never been this serious all my life. I know what I'm doing.
Rebecca: Don't push it.
Catherine: I'm not pushing it.
Rebecca: Fine! Don't cry on my shoulder if you miss him one day!
Catherine: This is for friendship. I'm ready to defend it and for the sake of one healthy competition!
Rebecca: You're nuts, Cath.
Catherine: Yeah. Just like you.
 

Howie: That's odd.
Brian: Yeah. Those two young-uns.
Kevin: Who do you mean by that, Brian? Nick and AJ or Cath and Becca?
Brian: Okay then it's four young-uns.
Nick: Tomorrow they are gonna take some tests and interviews. I know my girl will make it.
AJ: Too bad Cath's no longer 'your girl', Nick. She just broke up with you remember?
Nick: Shit! Don't start with me!
AJ: Like you dare!
Kevin: Can you kids calm down? We have a job tomorrow, so collect yourself in your little ass, both of you!
Howie: (laughs) We don't get what you're trying to say, Kev.
Kevin: (smirks) I mean you guys quit it now so we can sing good in the studio tomorrow. Okay?
AJ: Gee, like having a general with us, Corporal Littrell!
Brian: Whatever you say, Captain McCleaner!
AJ: Oh I'm sorry I seem to have mistaken your name just then, Corporal LITTLE!!!!
Brian: I'm gonna lick your butt for that, Bone! (starts going after AJ)
AJ: Oh no! Anything but that!!!!
Kevin, Howie and Nick laugh at Brian and AJ's traditional who's-running-after-who-is-not-quite-clear race.
 

Two days after the test and interview
Catherine, on the phone: Nick, I have a good news.
Nick: Wow! Is it about fixing a relationship? You're gonna take me back?!
Catherine: Hmmm Okay then there are two good news.
Nick: I'm panicking here, tell me now or I'll hang up!
Catherine: Like you dare!
Nick: These days everyone say that to me once too often.
Catherine: (giggles) I want you to know that......

Rebecca: We both got it!!!!!! (screeches)
AJ: (screams) BOTH OF YOU?! Seriously?!
Rebecca: Yes! Me and Catherine both!
AJ: (hugs Rebecca) Oh my God! That's great! That's awesome!
Rebecca: And one more thing...
AJ: What is that?

Catherine: I wanna be your girlfriend again.
Nick: (cuddles his girl) I never even realized we were apart!

Rebecca: I love you, AJ.
AJ: And I love you too, munchkin.

Catherine: Do you still want me, Carter?
Nick: I'll think about it. (pauses 0.1 second) Yes I still want you so bad!

Then there are kisses and smooches all around.
 

Brian: How is it possible, they both got the scholarship?
AJ: The board thinks they both should get it. They're equal.
Nick: No they're not. They're totally different kinds!
AJ: Don't start with me.
Nick: Like you dare.
AJ: I'm gonna blow you up to pieces that your ancestors would cry so don't be so sure, punk.
Nick: Oooh, I'm shakin' in my boots!
AJ and Nick wrestle.
Brian: Lord, have mercy on us Backstreet Boys. Please let these two apes act like adult apes. (looks at the two strangely) (jumps to Nick and AJ)

And so, the three of them crash the place down.

Next day,
Alice: Hi Brian, bad news.
Brian: Hi love, what news?
Alice: Guess who's gonna be at war with me.
Brian: What war?
Alice: An art sholarship war, that scholarship I've been wanting so bad!
Brian: Oh no...... it can't be! Is it like Nick and AJ's case?
Alice: Yes, it is, it definitely is...

Hailey: It's gonna be Alice or me, Kev! What'm I gonna do?!
Kevin: (deep, deep sighs) Ohhh boy..... Here we go again.
 

The End.
