Soaring [ej caswell]

Twenty: Most Likely To

"Hi. Thank you all for coming to rehearsal in the morning" Miss Jenn smiles, "I know it's a crazy day with the career fair and all, but given all your behavior last week, I believe we are lucky to be rehearsing at all. For future reference, singing and dancing, good. Breaking and entering, bad"

"Miss Jenn, we didn't break anything" Seb says innocently.

"Would you like me to be the first?" She glares

"I'm good"

"Okay. I'm just going to say it. Zack Roy stole our Beast mask. Why are you not freaking out?" Carlos asks.

"Because winners don't freak out, Carlos. They rise. When they go low, we sing high. AHHHHH" she sings.

"Well okay" I whisper, putting my finger to my ear and EJ chuckles at me.

"Okay. Let's rehearse. EJ, remember where you are emotionally. Belle..." Miss Jenn says pointing at me, "has just rebuked your marriage proposal and LeFou is rallying the guys to boost you back up. Let's hit it"

"That's kind of rude, Belle" EJ turns to me.

"What's rude?"

"Rejecting my marriage proposal like that"

"Sorry not sorry" I smirk and he shakes his head.

"Don't forget to start on your left foot at the top of the chorus" Gina reminds EJ.

"Thanks G" he smiles and she walks over to Big Red.

"Anything else to add?" He asks me.

"Don't fall over?" I suggest.

"You dance people have all the best tips" he smiles and I give him a wink before sitting down.

EJ goes and sits on Gaston's chair and Big Red goes and sits on the chest next to him.

"Big Red, whenever you're ready"

Big Red:
"Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're everyone's favorite guy
Everyone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why

No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck is as incredibly thick as Gaston
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon
You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on"

ALL:
"No one's been like Gaston
A kingpin like Gaston"

Big Red:
"No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston"

EJ:
"As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating"

ALL:
"My what a guy that Gaston"

EJ starts to juggle three eggs and throw them up into the air for the guys to catch them.

EJ:
"When I was a lad, I'd eat four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge"

Big Red throws EJ an egg and he catches it in his cup.

"Whoo!"

"Yeah!"

ALL:
"No one shoots like Gaston
Make those beauts like Gaston"

Big Red:
"Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston"
