ACT TWO

SCENE ONE

(Halloween eve. Everyone getting ready for Felix Kelsnys Halloween party.)

Halloween

ARIA: Picked out a costume for tonight

Made sure to get a size that was a lot too tight

You can kinda see my business

But Ill act like I dont know

Whoa

FELIX: I got a condom

SKYLAR: And a flask

TIM: I stole my older brothers Jason mask

And I dont have a machete

But a loaf of bread will do

Ooo

(CASPER gets ready for the party. He is dressed as a cyborg.)

ALEX: Tonights the night. This is what weve been working towards. Are you ready?

CASPER: (robot voice) Affirmative. (off the SQUIP) I mean... I got this.

ALL: Ooo

FELIX: WHOS READY FOR MY HALLOWEEN PARTY?!?!

FELIX: Everybodys got a red Solo cup

Fill it up

Fill it up

Hear the beer spill on the ground

FELIX, ARIA: Everybodys all like, Sup?!,

FELIX, ARIA, TIM: Yo man, sup?!

FELIX, ARIA: Lets catch up, lets smoke up

FELIX, ARIA, SKYLAR: Look how many drinks Ive downed

FELIX, ARIA, SKYLAR, TIM: Every single songs all like

Whup!

Theyre all whup!

Were like yup!

Turn it up!

As we stumble to the sound

(DAHLIA OPHINE enters in a clown costume, to their delight.)

FELIX, ARIA, SKYLAR, TIM, DAHLIA, AND OFF-STAGE VOICES: Cause a Halloween partys a rad excuse

To put your body through mad abuse

And I might pass out, but its alright

Cause Im Halloween partying hard tonight

Its Halloween!

Its Halloween

(CASPER enters in his cyborg costume with ALEX. ARIA lights up when she sees him.)

ARIA: I was afraid you werent coming. Did you get my messages?

ALEX: Play it off.

CASPER: Am I late? Didnt even realize.

(Beat. ARIA is a little crushed.)

ARIA: What do you think of my costume? I figured, you always see sexy cats, but no one ever goes as a sexy dog.

CASPER: Its...

ALEX: Vague compliment.

CASPER: ...original.

(When he sees ARIAs reaction, he immediately feels bad.)

CASPER: I mean, amazing. Seriously. I cant believe Im with a girl who looks like you.

ARIA: Skylar said it was dumb. You need a drink!

(ARIA exits.)

CASPER: (to ALEX) Did you see the look on her face? She thought I stood her up!

ALEX: And she was so excited when she realized you hadnt. People want what they dont have. Look whos here.

(CASPER sees SHAWN arrive and approach FELIX.)

SHAWN: Sorry Im late.

FELIX: (well-intended) I didnt even realize.

SHAWN: Oh. Okay... (notices his costume) I thought we were going as princes.

FELIX: Right. Im Prince! What are you supposed to be?

SHAWN: Its an authentic Renaissance... Never mind.

FELIX: Ohhh... (Awkward pause.) You want a drink?

SHAWN: Sure—

FELIX: Cool, theyre over there!

(FELIX joins the other partygoers, leaving SHAWN alone.)

ALL: Crank the bass, its Halloween

Break a vase, its Halloween

Jello shots! Its Halloween

Liver spots from Halloween

(FELIX and CASPER have a dance-off that ends in FELIX accepting CASPER. SHAWN and SKYLAR watch. When the dance ends, SKYLAR approaches CASPER.)

SKYLAR: Im supposed to get you. Aria has a surprise.

CASPER: What kind of surprise?

SKYLAR: The kind where you dont ask questions and follow me upstairs.

(SKYLAR exits with CASPER.)

ALL: Everybodys got a red Solo cup

Fill it up

Fill it up

Hear the beer spill on the ground

Everybodys all like, Sup?!,

Yo man, sup?!

Lets catch up, lets smoke up

Look how many drinks Ive downed

Every single songs all like

Whup!

Theyre all whup!

Were like yup!

Turn it up!

As we stumble to the sound

Cause a Halloween partys a rad excuse

To put your body through mad abuse

And I might pass out, but its alright

Cause Im Halloween partying hard tonight

TIM: Its Halloween!

Its Halloween

(During the above, TIMs dance becomes less joyful and more of a desperate freak-out. Its clear something is not okay. People see this and exit to get away until he ends alone.)
