Benjamin calls Ollie a jerk and is taken aback as Ollie starts eating some of the refuse. After school, Benjamin and his mother, Sarah, attend a meeting with Ollie and his mother Jenna, arranged by their teacher Ms. Pappas. Jenna tries to explain away Ollie's actions, but Ollie only compounds the situation by somehow slipping into Benjamin's backpack to the astonishment of everyone in the room. Later, that day, as Benjamin and his parents return home, they discover Jenna Wrather on their porch. She explains that they had come to return Sarah's phone (which Ollie had apparently "found") and that during their wait, Ollie slipped inside the house through the doggy door. Jenna pulls out an elaborate mask, revealing that Ollie's actions stem from his desire to meet his favorite wrestler, the Garbage Collector, whom he believes is Benjamin's father. However, Benjamin's Dad clarifies that he is merely an ordinary sanitation engineer and not a wrestler. Jenna then shares a plan to settle the matter. After giving Benjamin's Dad the mask, he pretends to be the actual Garbage Collector, and roughhouses with the boys.

At the meeting, Jenna attempts to explain away her son's bizarre behavior, but her efforts are undermined when Ollie is discovered hanging on the wall, completely inside Benjamin's backpack. Later that evening, Sarah and her family return home to find Jenna on their porch. The other woman apologetically hands Sarah her phone and adds that while they were waiting for them to return, Ollie entered their house through the dog door. Exasperated, Sarah sarcastically notes that as a doctor, she hardly needs her phone. Jenna displays a wrestling mask, and explains the entire situation is due to the fact that Benjamin said his father is the Garbage Collector, Ollie's favorite wrestler and he desperately wanted to meet him. But Sarah's husband states that he is only a plain sanitation engineer, and not a professional wrestler. Jenna then offers a solution to their predicament. With her husband donning the mask of the Garbage Collector, Sarah watches as the boys play with him. He gets Ollie to agree to act better, before excusing himself to tend to his strained back.

Benjamin's Dad puts on the mask of the Garbage Collector and roughhouses with the boys, pretending he is the actual wrestler. As the "Garbage Collector" he even gets Ollie to agree to act better.

His parents signed him up to join the North Plains PeeWee Hockey League, and by the district boundaries, he was assigned to the Ice Bunnies who held their team practices at Dinky's Ice Rink. Unfortunately, he missed the first day of practice, but Fred didn't mind, as he really didn't enjoy playing hockey. The next day, he arrived at Dinky's and was approached by an older boy, who offered Fred to pay him if he didn't go to the Ice Bunnies practices and kept his family away from the team games. As Fred never wanted to play hockey anyway. it was an easy deal to make. So, for the rest of the week, Fred went to Dinky's and either played video games or ordered food from Patrick Hattrick's Snackhaus until it was time for him to go home after "practice" was over. The one drawback was that Fred's benefactor only paid him in pennies. Eventually, Fred found himself, telling the waitress everything, when she noticed how much time he spent on the premises. She promises not to tell anyone, but promptly broke her word when she revealed the entire situation to Coach Zappala and the entire Ice Bunnies team. including the "Big Guy," the older boy paying Fred to stay away.

**Jo** was a friend and schoolmate of Charlotte and Deb at North Plains Day School. One day she was among a trio of girls invited to a girl's party day at Charlotte Wrather's home. First on the agenda was a session of hot yoga. So as Charlotte collected extra firewood for the living room fireplace, to raise the temperature of the room, Jo and the other girls laid out yoga mats. Just as Charlotte returned, four goat kids appeared, and it seemed a surprise session of goat yoga had been planned, which all the girls enjoyed. Afterwards, Jo and the girls moved on to beauty treatments as they applied facial masks, to each other, although Charlotte's youngest brother Ollie, and their neighbor, Fred got involved and got their golden masks stuck on their own faces. The girls then decide to watch a scary movie, ***Ice Elf.*** Jo admits to her friends that the appearance of the creature does not frighten her as much of the sounds of his tiny feet running from behind. As the girls watch the movie, the sounds of the Ice Elf scurrying about seem to emanate from the Wrather house and not just from the screen. Suddenly the power goes out, and as the lights return, a small pale giggling creature swings across the room at the girls, causing Jo to scream that it is the Ice Elf. Still laughing, the demonic figure heads upstairs. Charlotte claims it is only Ollie in disguise, but Cami appears and shows that her brother is outside, as Ollie waves by the window. This new revelation is enough to convince Jo and the other girls that the Ice Elf was real enough, as they flee the room screaming.

Jo was portrayed by **Emma Engle.**

## **North Plains Playhouse**

**"Figaro"** was an actor playing the title role in a production of ***The Marriage of Figaro*** at the North Plains Playhouse. In the midst of a matinee performance, the actor was distracted by a young member of the audience playing video games on a cell phone. This causes the actor to "break character" and directly confront the teen. The boy denies playing, but the noises from the device prove him to be lying. "Figaro" tells him that the rest of the audience have turned off their phones, and that he is no better than them. He then demands the phone, and when the teen reluctantly gives it up, the actor carelessly tosses it in the air, where it happens to land in a prop cart being moved over the stage, and the actor resumes his role as the Barber of Seville, after aiming a threatening pointed finger at the teen in his seat. The performance continues on, as the cast engage in the famous musical sequence of the play, which is interrupted, as the same teen is unceremoniously dumped onto the stage from a prop laden wagon with his phone in his hands. Furious at the disrupting of their performance once again, the actor confiscates the phone and accuses the interloper of ruining the play for everyone and not even caring that he has done so. The teen observes that "Figaro" can rhyme even when not singing. The young offender offers a mildly sincere apology and asks for the phone back with a lame rhyme of his own. The actor states he will return the phone--if the young teen will sing for it. The subject is reluctant to agree, but the actor gets the audience to support the idea. The "Figaro" actor begins by comparing his target to "the cretin" currently sleeping in the audience and calls for the woman to be thrown out of the building. This energized his young opponent, as he revealed that the snoozing lady was in fact his own mother. He awkwardly sings that she is a great mom who raises four kids on her own, and although she is overworked, took him to the show, and deems the actor a "cranky, out-of-tune jerk." However, "Figaro" appreciates the fact that the teen defends his mother and considers him worthy of sharing the opera stage. A more sincere apology is given by the boy, although he fears that if his mother awakens, he will be grounded for a long time. Satisfied, the actor returns the phone, and the pair sing Figaro a few times much to the audience's acclaim, and "Figaro" and his former foe, take a few bows.

"Figaro" was portrayed by **Roland Rusinek.**

##### **Trivia**

* The character of "Figaro" was the central figure in plays by Pierre Beaumarchais: ***The Barber of Seville*** (1775) and ***The Marriage of Figaro*** (1784), both were later adapted into classical operas. A third play, ***The Guilty Mother*** (1792) was also adapted into an opera but became far less well known.

Natalia Ferrereiro

**Ensemble Performer #1** was an actress in a production of ***The Marriage of Figaro*** at the North Plains Playhouse. In the midst of a matinee performance, during the large musical highlight of the show, she is onstage as a Seville townswoman with a basket of baked goods singing with the rest of the cast when their performance is interrupted when a young male teen from the audience is unexpectedly dumped on stage among other props from a cart. The lead actor playing "Figaro" had previously had a heated encounter with the same young person wherein the actor had tossed the boy's phone across the stage, and apparently in the intervening time, the teen had recovered it, as the offending object was in his hands. The "Figaro" actor snapped it away again and told the teen he had to sing to get it back, much to the actress' amusement. However, the boy began to show some spirit once his own mother was brought into the equation. Even the "Figaro" actor was ultimately impressed by the teen's efforts and deemed he was worthy of sharing the stage and gave the phone back. The pair even led the cast into a few lyrics, and with the rest of those on stage, took a few bows.

**Ensemble Performer #2** was an actor in a production of ***The Marriage of Figaro*** at the North Plains Playhouse. In the midst of a matinee performance, during the large musical highlight of the show, he is onstage garbed as a denizen of Seville, holding a basket of prop produce singing with the rest of the cast when the performance is interrupted by a young male audience member suddenly being dumped on stage among other props from a wagon. That startled the actor so much, that he dropped his basket to the floor. The lead actor playing "Figaro" had earlier had an angry encounter with the same person wherein "Figaro" had tossed the boy's phone across the stage, but since then, the teen had somehow located it, as it was back in his possession. Spotting the recovered device in the youth's hands, "Figaro" snatches the phone away and states he will return it if the teen will sing for it. The boy offers a meager apology in rhyme, which causes the actor to roll his eyes in disgust. The boy only takes the situation seriously when his own mother was caught sleeping and "Figaro" calls for her to be thrown out. He defends his mother and calls "Figaro" a "cranky, out-of-tune jerk." This impresses the star of the show, he declares that anyone who would defend his mother so strongly is worthy of sharing the stage, and he gives the phone back, and he and the boy led the cast to sing a few more reprises of the main song, and lets the boy take bows with the rest of the cast.

He remembered that when Eric Wrather was alive, the Wrather house was always elaborately decorated for the holidays, but since his death, the family barely put up any efforts during the season. Weeks before December even starts, the boy feels justified in constantly complaining about the situation to Jenna in person. On the first day of winter break, Darby knocks on the den door until Jenna lets him inside, carrying the tiny holiday wreath that represents the entire Wrather holiday decorations. Jenna hears him out, but does not particularly care, as she points out that she is a busy single mother. Darby notes that her story is as boring as her yard. Jenna feigns that something big is being planned and offers to show it to Darby outside but slams the door in his face after the boy steps outside. However, Charlotte observes the encounter, and decides to revive her father's tradition of setting up more festive holiday decorations for the Wrather house.

Julia Cho

**Jillian** was a tattoo artist acquaintance of Fred's. At Fred's request, she went to the Wrather home to give Coop a temporary tattoo. As she pulls out the necessary tools from her bag, Coop displays a picture of Peyton on his phone, as he tells Jillian what he wants, and she repeats "face and "arm," in response. Fred pops in to check on her progress, but as needles make him squeamish, which causes him to "ugly cry," he retreats until he knows she's done. Coop laughs to see Fred scurry off, but when he sees the sinister sharp device Jillian holds up, he faints into the couch. Realizing she was to only make a temporary tattoo, Jillian places the real tattoo instrument back and turns to Coop with the proper tool, only to discover the boy unconscious. Undeterred, she proceeds with her task to give Coop a temporary tattoo. When she had finished, Coop was still out cold, so Jillian sat down put her boots up, and began reading a book she had brought with her until her client awoke. When he finally arose, she joked that she thought he had died. Fully regaining consciousness, Coop looked down at his arm, as if expecting to see the tattoo but could not discern anything there. Jillian handed him a mirror to show off her tattoo work-- Peyton's arm on Coop's face. Coop exclaims that he'd asked the tattoo to be Peyton's face on his arm, which Jillian concedes, would have made more sense. Fred comes into the den and is equally shocked by the situation. However, he attempts to calm Coop down by reminding him that it is only a temporary tattoo. Having gathered all her stuff, Jillian confirms that she used a natural dye which will fade away in ten days. Reminding them to not to forget to post an online review, she departs the Wrather residence offering a "Later Tweens" as a final farewell.

Paul Hungerford

**Mr. Brunell** was the Wrather's next-door neighbor. He was first seen entering the Wrather's backyard, revealing that the giant pastry that the Wrathers' had dubbed "Monster Pie" (that Fred accidentally launched skyward prematurely during a "Would You Wrather") actually struck him, covering him in purple goo and leaving large chunks of crust in his hands, to confirm for himself, that the Wrather kids, were in fact, the source of the bizarre projectile. Ollie samples a bit of the residue on Mr. Brunell, and notes with approval that it tastes like "Neighbor." Apparently, Mr. Brunell had Ollie clean up the mess on his property, as the youngest Wrather apparently had a steady supply of "Neighbor Pie," for the next few days. Some weeks later, Mr. Brunell rings the Wrather front doorbell. Jenna Wrather answers it to discover her neighbor covered with leaves. Mr. Brunell greets her, then asks why a swarm of sticky leaves attacked him while he was at his mailbox. Jenna tries to deny any of her kids had anything to do with the leafy assault but concedes the point. Stating that she has no idea where they got such bad manners, she shuts the door in his face. Momentarily, Ollie passes by and enters the front door. Noticing Mr. Brunell, the youngest Wrather identifies him as the guy he and his sister, Cami, had just hit with leaves and tells his sister to see who has arrived. Mr. Brunell is about to offer a few words, when Ollie also closes the door in his face.

## **Escape From North Plains**

The **Escape Room Manager** was the manager of the Escape From North Plains venue. On the final day of the seasonal attraction. the last appointment had been made for the Weather family, who had held the record fastest time for the event four years running. As he returned from resetting the room for the final time, the Wrathers had already arrived in the reception area, as the eldest daughter accidently kicked over the popcorn stand over with her eagerness to start. The manager noted their presence by calling out their family name with as little enthusiasm as he could muster. However, as each group required at least 4 members to enter, when the Wrathers realized their fourth partner was nowhere to be found, for a moment the manager thought he might be spared the stress of dealing with the Wrathers, but the trio had a little time to find a replacement. Realizing he had forgotten the ringmaster top hat part of his costume, he left to retrieve it. By the time the manager returned, their new player, Fred, strangely dressed for a racquetball match, arrived. With the necessary number achieved, the manager reminded them that cameras were set everywhere and that phones were not allowed in the room and produced a basket the players were to surrender their phones which each person did. He then revealed the current record for the fastest escape was forty-nine minutes and eighteen seconds. Noting that they simply looked like losers to her, the younger Wrather sister swept the framed picture set by the phone basket into the trash. Pointing out the true current holders were actually depicted in the clearly labeled portrait on the wall behind him, the manager revealed that the other photo had been of his own family. He leads them towards the escape room and proceeded to set the stage. The circus performers have taken over the circus, creating a "Three-Ring Nightmare." The newcomer appreciates the plot, but the Wrather girls just want to get started. So, the manager opens the entrance of the escape room announcing that they have entered "The creepiest place on post-Apocalyptic Earth: 'Cir-pocalypse,'" and closed the door sealing the players in. However, mere moments in, the ring of a phone was clearly heard, and the manager announced that owner of the phone was now disqualified, which proved to be the older Wrather girl. The manager then stated that Mosely would escort the guilty player back to the lobby and sent his co-worker in to accomplish that task. However, Moseley reported that the Wrather brother had secretly planted the phone on his sister, so the manager allowed her to return. Intrigued by the unexpected plot twist, the manager paid closer attention to the male Wrather's machinations. Through the surveillance equipment secreted in the clown car the manager overheard the boy confess to his older sister that he had orchestrated events to create a situation where their neighbor, Fred, could prove his worth to their sister, Cami so the two feuding friends could reconcile, and asked her to help him with his plan. Much to the manager's surprise, the sister agreed to take part, and pretended that the pair were trapped in the car, leaving Fred the only player available to help their sister complete the escape room. However, the final Wrather stubbornly spurned Fred, who miraculously, seemingly against all odds, solved the necessary puzzles on his own, and held the final key in his hands well before the record time. However, he refuses to exit the room until he and Cami talk their problems out, which she is reluctant to do. To heighten the tension, the manager announces they have 2 minutes left to set the new record. With time ticking away, Cami finally admits the truth, sometimes she would like to be more like Fred, much to everyone's astonishment, including the manager, who covers his verbal outburst by stating only a minute and a half remains to break the record. Cami states she envies Fred ability not to let things bother him, and Fred suggests they let the record go, but she can't, and snatches away the key to open the door and establish a new record for the escape room. In the lobby, the manager throws a small amount of confetti in the air to confirm the Wrathers have the new best escape room time. Cami demands to be placed on the record holders place on the wall. The manager says he will but first they have to get their friends from out of the clown car. He reveals that he has been watching everything that occurred, likening it to bad reality TV, and informs them how the others only pretended to be trapped to force Cami to depend on Fred alone for help. Cami asks the manager to really lock the doors of the clown car and trap her siblings with Mosely for a while, a prank which the manager obliges.

The Escape Room Manager was portrayed by **CJ Hoff.**

He played a maniacal clown randomly wandering the "Cir-pocalypse" setting the puzzle room players were trying to find their way free from.

Dressed in his bizarre clown outfit, Mosely escorted Charlotte back to the lobby. However, in exchange for her promise to tutor him for their Bio class, Mosely showed Charlotte and the manager footage of Cooper slipping her phone back into her purse. Thus, after placing her phone back in the basket, the manager allowed Charlotte to re-enter the challenge. Mosely and the manager began to pay particular attention to the male Wrather's antics. After Cooper got his older sister to agree to pretend, they were trapped in the clown car, to force their younger sister, Cami, to cooperate with their neighbor, Fred, whom she was angry with, Mosely slipped into the room to give the Wrather pair in the vehicle a quick scare by popping up suddenly at them with a wild shout. After Cami and Fred successfully escaped the room. and learned of her siblings' meddling, the manager had Mosely carry out the prank she planned in response. Inside the car, Charlotte discovered that her door was actually stuck, with Cooper quickly replying his was stuck too.

All the parents were invited to the presentation, and all the entries were shown although some were placed in more "northern" positions than others. When Jenna Wrather asked where her son's project was, Mrs. Tipton told her to look for the farthest table near a collection of cleaning supplies. A little later, a loud scraping sound was heard, as Jenna Wrather dragged the table with Ollie's project atop to a more prominent place for display. Which Mrs. Tipton diplomatically stated it was better that way. Mrs. Wrather then pointed out the obvious discrepancy between the quality of the projects, as she claimed the best ones were obviously constructed by the parents and not the students Mrs. Tipton allowed that some students needed more help than others, but Mrs. Wrather declared that her son's spirit was being crushed by how his project was displayed, but Ollie was much more interested in the location of the cupcake snack table, which Mrs. Tipton gave him directions that the boy swiftly followed. Despite how happy the prospect of cupcakes made Ollie as he scampered off, Mrs. Wrather continued to decry how upset her son was. She then turned on the other parents present, stating they were only hurting their children by doing their schoolwork for them. She admitted Ollie's project may not be the best, but at least it represented his genuine effort. She then claimed the need to tend to her distraught son, which did not jibe with the obvious glee Ollie was showing, having discovered a cupcake with a cookie hidden in the center. However, Mrs. Wrather had given the teacher a lot to consider. Ultimately, Mrs. Tipton felt compelled to act, and stepped out to procure a symbol to mark her decision. In front of the crowd, Mrs. Tipton declares that she has decided to grant a special prize for the project which best exemplifies the spirit of North Plains Elementary School. Displaying a blue ribboned badge, she announces the winner as Ollie Wrather. Jenna Wrather happily claims the award and thanks the teacher. Mrs. Tipton half-kiddingly states that she is afraid of her. Mrs. Wrather. states her son is happy, but Ollie, with his face wrapped up in cellophane tape, clearly has no idea what has just occurred, as his mother picks up his project, and the pair depart. Several months later, Mrs. Tipton receives word that the heretofore marked absent, Ollie is actually in the High School section of North Plains, acting as his ailing sister, Charlotte's video proxy to preserve her perfect attendance record. The teacher tracks Ollie down, and against Charlotte's protests, escorts him back to his own proper class room.

**Karen** was a waitress at Patrick Hattrick's Snackhaus. When Bobby Bonafonte announced he was closing Dinky's Ice Rink, Karen, and the rest of her co-workers began clearing out the equipment from the kitchen area. When she carried out the shake-making machine, Charlotte asked if Karen should be handling it. In response, Karen called out to Kenny G. to open the door, allowing her to quickly race through it, absconding with the item. A few days later, she helps Charlotte get back at her mother for hiring actors to pose as her own kids for prospective buyers at her open house. After Charlotte and Ollie start the ruse as the next-door neighbor kids, "Lilly and Fart Doctor Van Fruit Cup," Karen follows them in after being called, claiming to be their mother. She starts by giving her son a can of spray cheese, when he asks for a snack, which he begins to squirt into his mouth, after she challenges him to finish it in one pull. Karen then asks if cameras have been set up, as she edges towards the refreshment table and begins taking items, assuming that they are all free. Charlotte tells her to tone it down, as she wants to get her mother back, but not endanger her possible sale. "Lilly" then asks for driving lessons, but Karen merely tosses keys at her, and advises to keep off the sidewalks. This proves to be Jenna's breaking point, as she confesses to the potential buyers the entire scheme of hiring actors to portray her kids. As the realtor clears up the entire convoluted situation, Karen takes the opportunity to walk off with the coffee maker, but Charlotte gets her to return it. Ultimately, Bobby Bonafonte decides not to close down the rink, and Karen resumes her normal job at the Snackhaus. Some weeks later, Karen witnesses a skater "yakking" on the ice and gives Charlotte a shovel, as it is her turn to handle such messes. Karen returns a minute later to inform her co-worker that she took to long to act, as there is now a second "yakker."

**Prospective Client #1** was a home seeker using LMK Realty. He and his wife were being shown a house by Jenna Wrather, who happened to mention that she also lived in the neighborhood. As the tour wound back into the living room, the younger Wrathers, Charlotte and Olliver, made their appearance, explaining that they had just come from the local recently renovated library which now featured ample parking. The young boy added how much he enjoyed eating books. Jenna laughingly corrected her son that he instead loved reading books. Charlotte began to talk about the speed bumps in the area but was distracted by a fishy odor. Jenna tried to dismiss the idea, but the client raised his arm to indicate he detected the smell as well. Chalotte opined that Oliver had rolled into something again, but her brother revealed the stench was actually coming from her. As his character was scripted as enjoying cleaning his room, that morning he had cleaned his fish tank with the "girl bag" over his sister's shoulder. Jenna tries to explain the mention of a script by stating her son is a confused young man. Meanwhile Charlotte threatens to clean her brother's face, but he vows she would have to catch him first, as he takes off screaming, he races deeper into the house. Charlotte throws her fish tainted bag at the fleeing figure, but strikes the Client, instead, as she chases after her brother. The Client and his wife then swiftly move to depart, but Jenna points out that they have forgotten to take one of her business cards, to which the exiting Client assures her that they have not forgotten, implying that they have merely decided to forgo her services, and leave.

**"Little Charlotte"** was an actress Jenna hired to play a fictional, younger version of Charlotte. Jenna decided to take the drastic action, as the ploy of using her own kids had failed miserably, and she still felt portraying the neighborhood as a child-friendly environment was the key to selling the house. Right on cue, she and the other actor hired to play a fictional version of an older Oliver, made their entrance into the open house to meet the new prospective buyers. Performing her scripted lines concerning the increased parking capacity of the recently renovated local library, the pair charm the prospective buyers, who call the faux Wrathers "Lovely," before departing, and promising to stay in touch with Jenna. Complimenting the pair on their great job, Jenna gives them cash, and offers to take them to dinner at an Italian restaurant. The next day, the fake Wrathers return and tour the house with the same couple from the day before. When the group emerges into the living room, a teen girl and a younger boy are there, introducing themselves as the neighbors "Lilly and Fart Doctor Van Fruit Cup." Jenna becomes extremely nervous at their presence, and Little Charlotte and Big Ollie are rendered speechless by the unexpected intrusion. The situation becomes stranger when their mother enters the house and begins displaying questionable parental skills. Eventually, Jenna breaks and confesses that Little Charlotte and Big Ollie are merely hired actors, and that the young newcomers are her actual children. However, the buyers seemed relieved, as they considered their own kids to be troublesome and were worried, they wouldn't fit in the neighborhood.

During the tour, she mentions that she and her own family live in the very same neighborhood.

The girl explains that have just come from the recently renovated library which now has ample parking, and her brother asserts that he loves reading.

**Prairie Chicken #1** was a student at North Plains Day School and a friend of Charlotte and Deb. She and the rest of the North Plains Prairie Chickens meet in the Wrather backyard and learn that Charlotte's younger sister, Cami, is joining their ranks. To welcome their new member, the group performs their signature call, that of their namesake bird. The next day, the girls reconvene at the Wrather yard, and Charlotte leads them in their specialized vocal exercises, cawing in descending pitches, before Cami finally joins them. Charlotte then plays a recording of a Red-throated Loon for them to study. Deb points out it is considered Level 5, well beyond their modest abilities, and Prairie Chicken #1 nods her agreement. Charlotte counters that they need to challenge themselves. Cami scoffs at all their concerns and easily duplicates the avian call to the amazement of the others. Charlotte then makes her sister the lead caller, and Prairie Chicken #1 and the rest follow Cami's example with fresh enthusiasm. Later that afternoon, as the group now devise choreographed steps into their calls, Charlotte announces that she sent in a recording of their version of the Red-throated Loon, and the Prairie Chickens have been invited to participate in the Regional Minnesota Bird Calling Contest that just happens to be held at North Plains Day School. Charlotte gives the credit to Cami, and the older girls gather around the picnic table to discuss their excitement at going to their first contest. The night of the regionals, Cami has Prairie Chicken #1 and the rest of the girls, now dressed in their Prairie Chicken shirts, place beaks over their faces, with the one Cami wearing also equipped with enough feathers to cover the rest of her facial features. Charlotte tells the others to remove the beaks. Charlotte states that while she thought her sister had found a level of personal satisfaction with bird calling, Cami does not want that fact publicly known. Charlotte informs Cami that she does not have to be part of the group any longer and leads the rest of the Prairie Chickens to the auditorium for their performance. On stage, Prairie Chicken #1 stands behind Deb and Charlotte as their leader introduces the group and their choice to perform the call of the Red-throated Loon. The Prairie Chickens try their utmost, but their attempt is discordant and chaotic, and Charlotte cuts their efforts short, prepared to retreat from the stage in disgrace. However, a small, masked figure appears, quickly removing the disguise to be revealed as Cami. She asks her sister to rejoin the flock and is happily accepted. Inspired by Cami's presence, the Prairie Chickens perform the call of the Red-throated Loon to a raucous ovation. While still on stage, Prairie Chicken #1 and the rest of the club members give each other enthusiastic hugs.

**Prairie Chicken #2** was a student at North Plains Day School and a friend of Charlotte and Deb. She and the other North Plains Prairie Chickens gather in the Wrather backyard and are informed that Charlotte's younger sister, Cami, has become the latest addition to the club. In greeting for their newest member, the girls demonstrate their signature call, that of their avian namesake. At the next meeting, a day later in the Wrather yard, the group are absorbed in their specialized vocal exercises, making cawing sounds in descending tones, until Cami finally arrives. Charlotte then pulls out her cellphone to have the others hear the call of a Red-throated Loon for them to consider. Deb reveals that it is classified Level 5, and their club is good, but not that good, and Prairie Chicken #2 nods her head to agree. Yet, Charlotte insists that the club should seek to challenge themselves. The younger Wrather is dismissive of all their misgivings and shocks the entire club by effortlessly reproducing the complex call by herself. An astounded Charlotte declares Cami to be the lead caller, and Prairie Chicken #2 and the rest follow Cami's rendition with genuine excitement. As the meeting continues, the girls decide to implement choreographed steps to enhance their performance. Charlotte receives a text and explains she had earlier sent in their version of the Red-throated Loon, and the Prairie Chickens have been invited to the Regional Minnesota Bird Calling Contest that just happens to be held at their own North Plains Day School. Charlotte says it is all due to Cami, and the older girls circle around the picnic table to share their joy in participating in their first competition. Minutes before the regionals scheduled start in the school hallway, Cami has Prairie Chicken #2 and the rest of the club, now garbed in their Prairie Chicken tee shirts, wear beaks over their faces, with the one Cami donning, having extra faux plumage to obscure her face. Charlotte instructs the rest to take off the beaks, and Prairie Chicken #2 has a little difficulty dislodging the beak from her glasses. Charlotte declares that while it appeared Cami sincerely grew to appreciate and enjoy bird calling, she clearly does not want to share that with the rest of the world. Disappointed, Charlotte releases Cami from any further obligations to the Prairie Chickens, and the group departs for the auditorium. When they are announced, Prairie Chicken #2 takes a position behind Deb and Charlotte. As the leader, Charlotte identifies the Prairie Chickens, and reveals they have selected the call of the Red-throated Loon to imitate. The Prairie Chickens try their best, but the result is uneven and embarrassing, and Charlotte halts their attempt in the middle, ready to flee from the stage in shame. But a that moment, a person disguised with a feather beak over their face, steps on stage and requests to rejoin the flock. Charlotte eagerly agrees, relieved that her sister has changed her mind. After Cami disposes of her mask, the Wrather sisters take center stage. Fully unified, the full complement of the North Plains Prairie Chickens enthusiastically all tackle the challenge of the Level 5 call of the Red-throated Loon and are met with audible appreciation and admiration from the audience. Still on stage, Prairie Chicken #2 joins the other members, as they share joyous embraces among themselves.

At the meeting to determine the next school social event, the committee chair, Cami Wrather, reveals that they have been allotted $500 (actually $480 as Cami admits she siphoned $20 towards acquiring a new gavel) and asks for suggestions from the group. Clare is quick to suggest a dance. Cami states that Clare was close, and asks the room what is better than a dance? Cami swiftly answers her own question by asserting a dance with a prize to win and decrees the school will have a Dance-a-thon. Clare and the other students clap in approval. The next topic is the possible theme, with Cami suggesting "Hawaiian Luau," Clare opting for "Under the Sea," while Delaware a new student, comes up with the bizarre concept of "Street Robot Toga Party." However, only "Hawaiian Luau" comes up to a vote, which passes. Cami is about to declare the matter closed, but the top part of her gavel flies off the handle and strikes Clare on the forehead. A quick unanimous vote is taken to immediately send Clare to the nurse. Cami mouths a silent apology, which Clare accepts with a pained nod of her injured head. Two days later, at the next meeting, Cami appears nervous, preoccupied and completely unprepared when Clare and the rest of the committee appear behind her. The Committee chair tries to cut the meeting short, telling the others there is nothing to report, and that she will see them all tomorrow night at the actual dance-a-thon. But Clare and the rest sit down, insisting there is more that needs to be discussed, as she suggests pineapple smoothies be served as refreshments. Cami begins rambling about how the event should be "BYOT" --Bring your own theme and party accessories such as decorations and food.

Cami then closes the meeting and tells everyone she will see them at the dance. Despite clear misgivings, Clare, and the rest of the committee, allow themselves to be shooed away. By the night of the Dance-a-thon the theme has been adjusted to "Robot Toga Party Luau." Clare, herself, wears a hula skirt, and sips a pineapple smoothie while waiting for the Social Chair to speak.

**Mason** was an acquaintance of Fred's who did not attend North Plains Day School, and claimed to have no knowledge of "Would You Wrather?" However, Mason was secretly an obsessive fan of the show, and had staged encountering Fred at Dinky's as the first step in an elaborate scheme to replace Fred on the show. Over the next few days, Mason develops a casual friendship with Fred, knowing that sooner or later they would cross paths with Cooper. It just happened to be at Dinky's where Fred tries to convince Coop that Mason was his grandfather, because of his fear of people "jumping friends" after meeting Coop (as years before, Fred had done to Kyle Trout, after being introduced to Coop), a trait Mason was eager to exploit, as he finally introduces himself to Cooper. The trio spend the next day hanging out, ending up at the Wrather home, however, Fred does not notice Mason sneaking his phone away during the afternoon. As Fred explains that they film their webshow there, Mason feigns complete ignorance of "Would You Wrather?" Fred says they will shoot the next show tomorrow at three and Mason says he will try to check it out. Mason then claims to have to go, he tells Coop it was nice to hang with him. Coop, who has been getting Mason's name wrong all day, dismisses him as "Mordecai." With a wave to Fred, Mason goes out the back door, but hides in the backyard. Once Fred leaves the room, Mason enters the Wrather den again, telling Coop that he just got *Zombie Guts 4*, and invites him to play it, as Coop has said on his show that it is his favorite video game series. Coop reminds Mason that he claimed never to have heard of the show, but the other just continues on stating they should hang out again tomorrow. Coop brings up Fred, saying that he is far better to hang out with, additionally, Coop claimed that he, himself, smells, attempting to prove it, by moving forward towards Mason with his armpit. Mason laughs as he avoids Coop, saying he is so funny. Mason tells Coop he will call him soon, declaring that he thinks they will become "best buds". He exits exclaiming "Mordecai out," referencing Coop's prior dismissal. That night, Mason uses Fred's phone to change the delivery times for the props needed for the next day's "Would You Wrather?" by several hours, assuring that they will arrive mid-morning instead of late afternoon. The next morning Mason sends Coop several images and texts telling him to call back. He then leaves for the Wrather home, timing his arrival to coincide with the altered delivery estimate. He waits in the Wrather yard, until he sees Fred leave the kitchen. Mason then enters telling a startled Cooper he came because he was worried that none of the texts he sent were answered. Coop informs Mason that he is not into making new friends at the moment, and to just stick with Fred. Mason points out they both have so much in common, such as being right-handed. Coop is not impressed, so Mason asks to use the restroom. However, that was merely a ruse, to ensure Mason was still in the Wrather house when the deliveries came early, thus the sound of the doorbell did not come as a surprise. Allowing Coop enough time to answer the front door, Mason went into the living room, and makes his presence known when the Delivery Man tells Coop he hopes that he has some help available. With the ice swan arriving several hours earlier than anticipated, Coop is to forced shoot the show as soon as possible, and after several calls to Fred are unanswered, he accepts Mason's offer to help set up. While Ollie, Coop's younger brother minds the live swan, Mason helps Coop drag the ice sculpture to the backyard. As Coop gathers up the technical equipment for the shoot, Mason inflates a kiddie pool, and using a pitcher, gradually fills it with lukewarm water after several trips from the kitchen. After learning that his sister, Cami, is busy, Coop tries contacting Fred again. Unbeknownst to Cooper, Mason has Fred's phone, so he receives no replies from the many texts he sends. Coop speaks his frustration with Fred aloud, Mason suggests that Fred is probably doing something important, which Coop instantly dismisses. Coop thanks Mason for his help but tells him that he can go. Mason offers to help with the stream, but Coop states that Ollie will be enough, just as his younger brother arrives wrapped up in electrical cords. Mason insists that he is capable of handling the camera, but Cooper is still concerned about hurting Fred's feelings if he finds the two of them together without him. Mason supposes that Coop could wait for Fred, saying that the ice swan isn't going anywhere, a statement he retracts when he touches the sculpture and indicates that it is melting swiftly. That performance compels Coop to start the show without Fred, and he hands Mason the camera, and tells him to stay behind it, and to remember that he is Fred's friend. As Coop is preoccupied freeing Ollie from the cords, Mason quickly picks up Cooper's phone, deletes all the texts addressed to Fred, and places it back down. Having released Ollie, Cooper starts the stream stating that this "Would You Wrather?" will be the coolest one ever, Mason audibly responds, and Coop tells "Cami" that her voice sounds weird, and she shouldn't speak for the rest of the show. Mason dips the camera to indicate agreement. Cooper presents the question of the show: Would you rather sit on a swan made of ice, or have a real swan sit on you? The Wratherheads vote on sitting on an ice swan, and Ollie eagerly takes the challenge. Being Ollie, he sees his new seat as a "swancicle" and is drawn to lick it, but only gets his mouth frozen to the swan sculpture, which Mason dutifully records. However, Cooper cuts the show short, as Fred appears and declares that Ollie kissing a bird is only the second most disturbing thing he sees. As Coop feared and Mason secretly engineered, Fred is livid to discover Coop and Mason having fun without him. Coop tells Fred he tried texting him, but Fred says he lost his phone, but notes that Coop had no trouble finding Mason. With his plan to separate Coop and Fred reaching a climax, Mason innocently points out to Fred that Coop needed help, and that he hopes he didn't do anything wrong. Coop claims he can prove he tried to contact Fred with his phone, but all traces have vanished. Mason notes that the pair are in a bad place, and that he should leave, before handing the camera back, he places a reassuring hand on Coop's shoulder and proclaims that he was glad to help out. Before leaving, he gives Fred a look to imply he wants no part of the drama between Fred and Coop. Having successfully driven a wedge between Coop and Fred, Mason departs to let his clueless pawns continue to squabble. A few days later, Mason finds Fred and Cooper at Dinky's and asks if they patched things up, which Fred is quick to deny. Mason begins his endgame by suggesting that Fred and Coop would fight less if they spent less time together and advises Fred to take a break from being a part of the web show. Fred is quite open to the idea, but Coop will have none of it, and declares he is about to make a grand demonstration of their friendship. As Coop gets help setting up some kind of tower apparatus, Mason backs away toward the locker room to make his one last desperate move. By the time Mason returns, a few minutes later, Coop and Fred are fist bumping. Mason declares that Cooper is making a mistake by making up with Fred, and that he should be on the show instead. Mason insists that he could be a way better Fred than Fred, and to clearly illustrate that to Cooper, he has emerged from the locker room wearing a dark-haired wig and garbed in exactly the same outfit (from a selection of clothing secreted in his rented locker) Fred is currently wearing. To further prove his point, Mason flawlessly mimics Fred's voice. But his impersonation only serves to cause Cooper and Fred to back away towards the exit. In desperation, Mason offers he could instead replace Ollie, but as he moves towards them, he trips over the structure Coop set up previously. Stumbling off balance, Mason pulls down on a dangling handle and is showered with worm infested dirt from a pail set up above, causing him to scream in terror. Cooper then concedes that Mason can scream like Fred. Which Fred disputes, as he spots his missing phone in the fallen soil, where it fell out of Mason's pocket. But Fred begins screaming, as he touches a worm after he retrieves the device. Fred and Cooper immediately depart the rink, leaving Mason covered in worm ridden filth, and his scheme of replacing Fred on "Would You Wrather?" a complete and utter failure.

The **Spacey Waiter** was a waiter at Patrick Hattrick's Snack Haus. One afternoon, as he was about to serve an order to fellow Patrick Hattrick Snack Haus worker, Charlotte Wrather, and her sister, he briefly stops at the counter POS (point of service) terminal to enter Charlotte's employee discount to the bill. Afterwards, he gives the girls their food, and starts wiping down the counter. However, the younger Wrather calls him to the table for a new veggie burger, as the one in the basket has ketchup on it. The waiter states that she could scrape off the unwanted condiment with her fork. The girl concedes that, but pointedly points out that she could do a lot with her fork, but for the moment, she is asking politely for a new burger. Sensing the thin veneer of restrained violence in her tone, the waiter takes the tray back with a hurried "Yes, Ma'am." Reaching the counter, he calls the cook over to let her know the situation, and she takes the tray and heads back to the kitchen to prepare a fresh veggie burger.

The **Delivery Man** was a resident of North Plains, working as a delivery man. One morning, he had dual swan deliveries to make at the Wrather residence, one real, one sculpted from ice. After arriving, he opted to leave the large, caged bird for last and donned a pair of rubber gloves to unload the statue onto a wheeled dolly and dragged it to the front of the house before ringing the doorbell. The teen that opened the door was a bit confused as he said the delivery was supposed to arrive later at 3:00. The Delivery Guy could only surmise that the times got changed, as he pushed the ice swan inside the house. The kid called out to someone named "Fred," and stated the obvious fact that the ice would melt. Noting that the sucker was heavy, the Delivery Man told the kid he hoped he had some help, as he returned to the truck to bring out the caged swan to finish the delivery.

The **Pizza Guy** was the delivery guy for Victor's Pizza. One night he delivered a large pepperoni pizza to the Wrather residence but was told by the older Wrather sister that they had ordered an all-onion pie, whereupon he suggested that they could pretend the pepperoni were onions. She replied that he should not deny himself the satisfaction of doing his job correctly and go back and get the proper pizza order. The Pizza Guy was not impressed, but when the younger sister told him to do it or lose his thumbs he quickly complied with a hurried "Yes, Ma'am!" Several months later, he delivers an anchovy and Brussel sprouts (a combination he finds disgusting) pizza to the Wilcox place. Although no one in the living room claimed the order, eventually he was spotted by a teen girl who led him to the basement. There he found a gathering of kids watching Coop and Fred of "Would You Wrather?" engaged in leg wrestling. As Coop was the person who ordered the pizza and promised payment as soon as the match was over, the Pizza Guy allowed the group to have the pizza, and even took a slice for himself. When the bout lasted far longer than anyone could have anticipated, it was decided to let the Wratherheads decide the winner, the Pizza Guy popped up for a brief appearance on the stream to note that he still hadn't been paid yet. But before a vote could be taken, a ferret scurried across the floor, startling Coop, and allowing Fred to claim the victory. As the kids dispersed, Coop complained to Fred about the ferret interference, with the Pizza Guy following, still awaiting payment.

**Minty's Nana** was an alumnus of North Plains Day School and Minty Mattheson's grandmother. She was first seen in the stands watching an archery match at North Plains Day School. However, when she called a member of the opposing team a "pipsqueak," causing him to completely miss the target, the referee tossed her out, and the woman left, claiming her boyfriend was waiting for her in the car. She returned for the archery match the next week but arrived late. Fortunately, Cooper Wrather, for reasons of his own, had delayed the start of the tournament with various antics, allowing her to slip inside and take a seat. Staying silent in the bleachers, she disguised herself by holding up mini pom-poms against her face to obscure her features. When Cami Wrather was about to take her turn, Minty stood and moved to follow and verbally rattle her rival. Minty sat back down, in front of her hidden Nana. Despite Minty's annoying efforts, Cami tied the school record of 35 consecutive Bull's eyes. Just as Cami was sighting her possible record-breaking shot, the older woman decided to take matters into her own hands, making her presence known, she stood and loudly declared Cami a "pipsqueak," urging her to miss. When Jenna Wrather demanded to know why she had turned on the home team, the other woman explained that the record Cami had just tied belonged to her, and she did not want it broken. Minty then acknowledged the woman as her Nana. As Cami aimed again, the woman began chanting "Feel the freshness," but despite her and Minty's attempts, Cami made her record setting 36th consecutive bull's eye. Minty leaves the gym in a huff, with her grandmother following close behind, unwilling to witness Cami Wrather's moment of victory.

The **Archery Referee** was the official selected to referee the North Plains Day School Archery Invitational Tournament by the school district. Her job was to adjudicate the event, and to assure that the proceedings went smoothly. The first session, the Referee tossed out an older woman for calling a contestant a "pipsqueak" and spoiling his shot. After the woman left, the Referee announced Cami Wrather was next. After the girl had a perfect round of three straight Bull's Eyes, the Referee ended up throwing out Mrs. Wrather for disrupting the crowd. The next week, before the tournament resumes, the Referee, spends some time checking the microphone system. Just before the session was scheduled to start, a student from North Plains asks for the mic. After the Referee hands the device over, the young teen begins leading the crowd in what he claims, is the North Plains Black Bears' fight song. The Referee finds the performance so engaging, that when prodded, she throws in a few dance steps where she shows off her "claws." Eventually, the archery contest resumes, and she announces Cami Wrather as the next contestant. The girl aces her first two shots, tying the North Plains school archery record for consecutive Bull's eyes. But just as the last shot is aimed, the same older lady that the Referee ejected the previous week, abruptly resumes her distracting antics. However, before the Referee could take action, Cami hits her record-breaking shot, causing the older woman to depart in the company of a girl, that resembled a younger version of herself. The disappointed pair actually walked past the Referee on their way out of the gymnasium, allowing the Referee to finish her assignment without further incident.

The **Detention Teacher** was a teacher a North Plains Day School. One day, as he was standing by the classroom with his checkboard, recording the names of the students being disciplined with afterschool detention, as they reported in, Minty Mattheson skipped up to him. The mawkishly chipper girl hands over a golden envelope inscribed with her name upon it, while rambling on about being picked for some kind of trip. Slipping his pen into his shirt pocket, the teacher opens the missive, only finding a detention slip for Minty inside. Showing Minty the form, he tells her the only trip she is taking is to detention. He cuts off her protests by returning the papers and instructs Minty to go inside the room. Before complying, Minty inexplicably mutters "Cooper," in frustration. Retrieving his pen, he adds Minty's name to his checklist. However, once detention started, Minty approached his desk and immediately began haranguing him to "Check the system," to confirm whether or not her detention was valid. Working his computer, the Teacher attempted to find verification, but the girl's annoyingly incessant demand ultimately drove him away from the entire situation, leading him to physically desert his position, thus leaving Minty to do as she wished.

**Evan** was a student of North Plains Day School. As he was late on the day for after school club sign-ups, he was left with no choices, and had to join the School Beautification Club. The first project assigned to the group was to clean up and renovate the long-deserted student lounge on the second floor. While working, Evan got a text from a buddy that the Drama Club was having auditions for additional members later that afternoon. Evan tried to sneak away, but Fred, who had been put in charge of the club, blew his whistle and called him back, claiming that Evan had already taken his bathroom break, and advised him to clench his toes. Evan told the Wrather siblings about the Drama Club auditions, but an overhearing Fred asked what Drama had that Beautification didn't. After Cami sniped back at Fred, Evan dropped his push broom and advised the Wrathers to save themselves, and exited the lounge, with Coop and Cami following close behind. The day after the auditions, Evan is elated when the Drama Club advisor, Mr. Kramsky, announces that the "Evanator" has won the protagonist lead in the play, Don Julio. However, the teacher cannot choose between the Wrather siblings whom to cast as the antagonist, Count Stefano. After Coop and Cami converse, the pair decide that Cami should get the part and stay, while Coop returns to the Beautification Club. For the rest of the week, the club works on the play in the school auditorium, however, during the final dress rehearsal on show day, Cami apparently becomes ill, as a sickly gray froth emerges from her mouth. As Evan and the rest of the club cautiously back away from Cami, after she has cleaned up, Mr. Kramsky makes a decision. Fearing that she might be contagious, the drama coach bans her from performing, despite Cami's insistence that Fred pranked her with a fake mint to make her look sick. At that point, a caped Cooper with false facial hair strides across the stage, stating that he knows the Count Stefano role, and is prepared to save the play, an offer Mr. Kramsky eagerly accepts. Later, just before showtime, now fully costumed as Don Julio, Evan exchanges with Cooper the traditional theatrical wish to break a leg, before heading for the stage. However, at Count Stefano's entry cue to the scene, it is Cami who emerges from the backstage. Evan continues his part as Don Julio, despite the unexpected change, but when the two characters are about to engage in a sword fight, a second Count Stefano appears in the form of Cooper, dragging a low bench, chained to his ankle, across the stage. Don Julio claims he cannot fight two opponents at the same time. The original Stefano pulls the other offstage, claiming they will deal with the town simpleton. The rest of the cast also depart, leaving Evan alone on the stage. He spends a few uncomfortable minutes improvising lines as Don Julio wonders how long he must wait for his foe to return. Finally, it is the Cooper version of the Count which returns to the stage and Don Julio and Count Stefano have their battle. Don Julio is disarmed and is about to be run through by the Count, when a shower of tiny debris particles fell from the ceiling, the pair are warned just in time, to avoid being crushed by a large bear statue plummeting to the stage from above. From the fresh hole revealing the second-floor student lounge from above, Fred notes that Coop regained the role of Count Stefano by giving his pal a thumb's up sign. Like the rest of the Drama Club, Evan must wait for the auditorium to be repaired before resuming the rest of the semester's drama performances.

**Stuart** was a student at North Plains Day School. As he was late on the day for after school club sign-ups, he was left with no selections, and had to join the School Beautification Club. The first project assigned to the group was to clean up and renovate the long-deserted student lounge on the second floor. The club is led by Fred, who proudly displays the symbols of his office, a crimson sash, and a whistle he is never hesitant to blow, if he detects another member doing something not to his liking. Clad in drab green coveralls, Stuart begins by dusting some shelves. Later, Stuart hears Evan telling the Wrather siblings about possible openings in the Drama Club, but as Stuart had no inclinations in that area, he went back to cleaning. However, after the three drama hopefuls left, Fred suddenly yelped in fright, as he claims to have seen a cockroach, and crouches in a "safety turtle" position by ducking his head into his shirt, Stuart can only shake his head. A few days later, after a failed Coop returns, Fred has really let his power truly go to his head, demanding that he be dragged around in a wagon, and establishing a "Fred Points" reward system, although he remains vague about what exactly what, if any, value it represents. After earning three points, Stuart begins cleaning the many metal stools. At the end of the week, Stuart has accrued eight Fred points in total, but still does not know what purpose they actually serve. When Fred goes off to help Coop with some scheme, Stuart joins the rest of the club members in demolishing Fred's wagon. A few hours later, with the lounge renovation officially finished, Fred has the group gather there. A large tarp covered object has been brought into the room. Fred tells them it has been a life-changing honor to have led and labored with the club, but Stuart protests that it was only the regular club members that did all the actual work. Fred replies that Stuart's words have him on the verge of tears. Fred then reaches for the tarp and proclaims that it is something that every student lounge should have. Stuart hopefully guesses that it could be a basketball hoop or a video game. Fred tersely tells Stuart to shut it. The club leader then yanks the cloth off to reveal a 500-pound bear fountain. Like the rest of the club, Stuart can only gape in astonishment at the bizarre sight. Yet, Fred still notes that the look on Stuart's face says it all. Fred then activates the controls, and a spray of water spews from the bear's mouth. A distinct crackling becomes audible, and Fred assumes it to be an added feature to simulate actual river sounds, which he finds relaxing. However, the noise was really the floor collapsing, as to the shock of Stuart, and the rest of the students, the bear statue falls through the floor, and crashes into the auditorium stage directly below, nearly crushing Cooper and Evan, who were in the midst of a Drama Club performance.

Stuart was portrayed by **Nathan Janak.**

Her mother came back, carrying a pink cake with four lit candles on top, and placed it down on the table. Her mom said "Happy Birthday" to her and gave her a hug after Charlotte replied with her thanks. Her mother pointed to the cake and told her to make a wish. But Charlotte didn't know the word and asked her momma what it meant. Her mom explained it was asking for something that would make you happy. When Charlotte told her momma that she was already happy, she was given another hug, and advised to just wish for a pony, as the pair blew the birthday candles out.

**Zach** was the head usher for the North Plains Cineplex, at the Stone Valley Mall. After the opening day matinee premiere of ***Dude Force 5,*** Zach stood by the theater doors, watching the crowd depart, but two young teens attempt to reenter the screening room. They claim to have left a manilla envelope under a seat, and merely wish to retrieve it. But Zach does not believe their excuse, and suspects they only want to sneak in for another showing. The taller boy insists the envelope is important to his mother, and Zach is disappointed that they have resorted to "the mom card" as he has heard it all before and declares the request a "no can do." The shorter dark-haired teen retorts that the only "no can do," is the vest the usher is wearing. That affects Zach slightly, as he adjusts the garment in question. The taller teen offers to buy a second ticket, but Zach states the movie is sold out. He tells them if such an envelope even exists, it will be placed in the Lost and Found later that night. Zach then tells the punks to beat it until then. The teen protests that he has to deliver the envelope before five o'clock, but Zach just shrugs, as he ushers then towards the exit. The other boy then proclaims, that they can't be stopped if they can't be seen, and raising up a metallic briefcase, calls for a smokescreen. However, only a stream of liquid spews out from the case and douses Zach. This causes enough of a disturbance that the Cineplex Manager, Jeri Hunzinger, intervenes, also getting wet as she approaches. She asks what is going on, and Zach explains he caught the two teens trying to sneak back into the theater. The manager understands, noting that ***Dude Force*** always brings out the "naughty boys." As the theater workers finally push the offenders out of the building, the shorter miscreant in the suit insists that they are actually "dudes." Zach resumes his position for the next showing without further incident. He does notice the manager conducting a job interview with a teen girl with long brown hair in the lobby. A little boy with brown hair approaches Zach and begins to recite his times tables, and when his demonstration falters, begins to simply count from one to fifty. Zach abruptly notices that the ***Dude Force 5*** cutout has moved. As the usher is about to investigate, the boy demands his attention, and restarts his counting. Whirling around to verify the kid's ability to count, Zach turns away and picks up the standee to move it back to the properly assigned place. Later, after Zach has pushed the stock cart to the restrooms, in order to replenish the paper products, he spots the same two boys from before, slipping into the projection room. Now knowing the manilla envelope does exist, Zach retrieves it, before heading for the same destination. Slipping inside, Zach notices the younger math boy from before, is now with the two older ones. Extending out his right hand, the usher asks if the object he is holding aloft, is what they are looking for. The boys are puzzled to discern a roll of toilet paper. Zach explains he had just been restocking the rest rooms and holds out his left hand to reveal the manilla envelope, which the three boys are shocked to see. Before pushing the interloping trio back towards the theater lobby, Zach smugly claims he is keeping the envelope. The taller kid protests, but Zach cites his authority as Head Usher. The suit wearing trespasser retorts that the job of Head Usher merely consists of holding a flashlight and telling patrons to shut off their phones. Zach then admits that the punks now know why he is so angry. Just as the group reaches the concession stand, popcorn begins flying out of the popping machine. In the resulting confusion, the tall kid grabs the envelope. Before Zach can take it back, the envelope is tossed toward "Agent Fred," the kid in the suit. Lifting his case in the air, a min-harpoon is ejected and hits the target, dragging it to land at his feet as the line retracts back, much to the faux agent's own amazement. Once the kid picks it up, Zach tells the usher nearest the exit, Davis, to grab the envelope. The thin packet is then sent across the lobby into the possession of the youngest conspirator, now identified as "Ollie." With his height advantage, Zach warily approaches his tiny quarry. But with his free hand, little Ollie, suddenly produces Zach's own security key card (which the usher had not even noticed was missing) and flips it backwards with a careless motion. But as Zach races to recover his property, the trio of trespassing punks evade Davis and reach the exit with their prize. Before departing, the taller, still anonymous, teen, proclaims that the theater workers have been "Dude Forced," and Zach can only raise his arms in a gesture of futility.

## **North Plains Cineplex**

**Jeri Hunzinger**  was the manager of The North Plains Cineplex, at the Stone Valley Mall. Shortly, after the opening day matinee screening of ***Dude Force 5,*** Jeri sees a disturbance in the theater lobby. Zach, the head usher, was being sprayed with some form of liquid from a metallic briefcase being held aloft by a young teen dressed in a suit. Braving the mystery substance, as she approaches, Jeri asks what is going on, and Zach explains he caught two guys trying to sneak back into the theater, indicating another taller teen, standing nearby. Jeri understands, noting that ***Dude Force*** always brings out the "naughty boys." As she and Zach finally push the trespassing duo off the premises, the shorter offender in the suit blazer, insists that they are actually "dudes." Later that afternoon, Davis, the usher at the front door, tells her that a teenaged girl, waiting in the lobby, wants to apply for a job. Jeri gets her clipboard and goes to meet her. The  tall girl with long brown hair shakes hands as the Cineplex manager identifies herself. The girl states that she is there to inquire about a job, not to see a movie. She nervously babbles on that she likes movies but just not that day, she clarifies she still like movies that day, but does not want to see one. She then asks about the whereabouts of the restroom. Jeri points the applicant in the right direction, to allow the girl to compose herself. Jeri finds the girl a little later in the lobby, and jokes that she thought she lost her. The girl insists she was only in the restroom and nowhere else. They sit at a nearby table, but the girl insists on the chair facing away from the theaters, claiming she needs to keep an eye on the plants in the room, explaining that a trauma during camping has instilled a deep mistrust in all plant life within her. Jeri tells the girl that all the plants in the lobby are fabricated, but the girl insists they are real to her. Jeri asks the teen to talk about herself, beyond her fear of plant life. She states she comes from a large family with two brothers and a sister. The manager then asks why she wants to work at the cineplex, and the girl replies that she likes to work with people. Jeri is momentarily distracted by a loud sneeze, and the girl blurts out a warning to "Get down!" She explains to Jeri that she thought she spotted one of the plants making a move towards them. Quickly finishing the interview, Jeri then begins taking the applicant on a tour of the cineplex premises. The tour ends at the concession stand, where Jeri shares a trade secret, the more ice in a drink, the less soda it takes to fill it. However, the girl seems to think that it is not that much of a secret. Jeri concludes aloud that she has likely found a "Smarty." However, Jeri finds that she has to retract her compliment when the girl opens the popcorn popper while still in operation, causing warm popcorn to be shot out all over the lobby. In the ensuing chaos that erupts in the theater lobby, the manager discerns two ushers, Zach and Davis, apparently playing a game of keep away with a large manilla envelop against the two "naughty dudes" from earlier that day. The impromptu contest ends when the prize gets into the hands of a much younger boy who eludes the grasps of the cineplex workers and escapes through the exit. The taller dude pauses to crow that they have been "Dude Forced," before being dragged out by the girl applicant Jeri had spent the afternoon with.

**Tracey Kruger** was a member of the US Olympic Gymnastics Team, and an alumnus of North Plains Day School. When she learned her old school was inducting her into its Hall of Fame, Tracey was excited to return to her old hometown of North Plains for two days to attend the ceremony and the other planned events for her homecoming. Arriving at North Plains Day School, Tracey was greeted by her student ambassador, Charlotte Wrather. The younger girl proffered a laminated school pass and schedule, but having no convenient place to carry them, Tracey told Charlotte to just leave them on the clipboard the other was already carrying. As the pair walked through the school hallways, Charlotte asked if the school had changed much since Tracey's time, noting the student fashions, however the famed gymnast had to point out that she had only graduated the previous year. Charlotte apologized, confessing that she was nervous. Consulting the schedule, she stated Tracey was due to address the ninth grade Science class in three minutes, and immediately began to order the other students to clear the way as a celebrity was passing through. Tracey told her guide that her presence didn't always need to be announced and tried to calm the other girl by stating she was enjoying her visit. Charlotte appreciated the sentiment, and asked Tracey to remember that when she filled out the student ambassadorial evaluation form. Getting carried away with the concept, Charlotte even tries to give said form to Tracey prematurely, before realizing her actions, and withdraws the paper, and makes two lame jokes with a gymnastic theme to cover her faux pas. Tracey then reveals she feels the need to use the bathroom. Charlotte objects, stating that the schedule didn't call for one until after lunch. However, Charlotte abruptly relents, claiming she will make it work, and says to take as much time as necessary. Tracey replies that it is what it is and slips into the nearby female restroom. After finishing her personal business, Tracey emerges back into hall, and is surprised that her guide has actually put down the clipboard and was instead holding a large fresh fish. Dubiously, Tracey asks why Charlotte has a fish in her possession. The flustered girl explains that it was part of a gift basket meant for Tracey which also included one other item, Charlotte reached into a pocket and produced a single stick of gum. Tracey graciously accepted the offering with thanks, but noted that she generally preferred her gum wrapped, and prudently did not place the gum in her mouth, but merely walked away, leaving Charlotte to follow behind with the squishy burden. The next day, after classes, Tracey is officially inducted into the North Plains Day School Hall of Fame in a ceremony held in the school auditorium. Tracey thanks the crowd for the honor, with Charlotte's ever-present presence also on stage. Tracey attempt to sum up her experience of her visit, but with a glance at Charlotte, cannot find the words. Instead, she produces the outfit she wore as a National Gymnastic Champion and donates it to the school. Charlotte then announces she has made a special video retrospective on Tracey's gymnastic career to play for the audience. However, instead of claymation footage of a younger Tracey performing a handstand appearing on the screen, a frenzied video appeal from the creators of the local webshow, "Would You Wrather?" inviting Tracey Kruger to help them with their epic "Count Down to 500," by joining them for their 498th episode the next morning at 9:00 a.m. plays out. Charlotte immediately tries to apologize for the interruption, but Tracey perhaps, denoting her guide's familial sibling connections for the first time, states that she loves "Would You Wrather?" Tracey thinks she can find the time for the stunt, yet Charlotte insists that Tracey's schedule will not allow it. Tracey then asks the audience if she should consider granting the request, and the enthusiastic applause seems to approve of the concept, much to Charlotte's chagrin. Although Tracey agrees to participate in the webshow, her assigned events for that morning, such as volunteering at the animal shelter, and signing autographs at the retirement home, take longer than expected. But eventually all the scheduled commitments are met, and Charlotte has no viable excuse to refuse Tracey's request to go to the Wrather home, where the WYW crew are waiting to start their 498th livestream. After entering the house, and allowing Tracey to get herself ready, Charlotte leads her to the Wrather backyard where her younger siblings, Coop, Cami, and Ollie have sent up the WYW show for Tracey to participate. Tracey is impressed by the elaborate staging set up for the stunt, but Charlotte, speaking as her role of official student ambassador, again advises Tracey against going through with it, as she warns the WYW creators aren't very bright, which she has learned by personal experience, as they are her family. An older woman, presumably the Wrather mother, takes Tracey by the hand in welcome, but as she attempts to introduce herself, she is rudely cut off by the Wrather neighbor Fred, the lone non-Wrather member of the WYW team. He claims a kinship with Tracey by virtue of having a potential gymnastic career derailed by a "rogue holiday tree" causing a hip injury. Coop and Cami then start the 498th episode, with Cami seeming especially eager to complete the segment as quickly as possible. Tracey barely has a chance to wave a greeting to the "Wratherheads" online, before Cami declares she has taken too long, and moves on to ask the audience the show's question--should Tracey perform a vault or a front flip with a half twist off a trampoline to land on a nearby see saw to send a canister of pepper upward to activate an enormous nose connected to the side of the house, to sneeze simulated snot all over a waiting Ollie standing under the large nostrils. Tracey barely gives the trampoline a tentative prod with her foot to determine its sturdiness, before Cami proclaims that the flip with the half twist has won the vote. Briefly stretching her legs, Tracey then paces off the distance necessary for a running start to generate enough momentum to spring off the trampoline onto the target. Cami urges Tracey to start, but Coop states there may be technical difficulties with the stunt equipment. However, Cami disregards her brother, and tells Tracey to go ahead. Tracey gives Cami two thumbs up as a sign she was ready and ran the short distance to the trampoline and leaped up to spring off of it. Tracey performed a perfect flip with a half twist and landed facing away from the giant nose with her hands held up in a victory pose, as she rode her side of the see saw down. However, when Tracey turned around, nothing had happened, as the pepper still remained on the opposite side of the see saw, and a still slime less Ollie stood under the giant nose. Tracey wondered aloud if she had done something wrong as she stepped off the apparatus. Cami insisted that Tracey was perfect, as both girls stood beneath the mammoth nose to investigate. Suddenly a loud sucking noise resounded, as both girls were drawn up into the nostrils of the false nose with their legs left dangling. Charlotte called out not to worry, as she would pick Tracey out. However, it was Fred, who pulled out a hose, which ultimately freed the pair, as they fell to the ground on their knees, covered in a sheen of slimy faux snot. Standing up, Tracey asked if anyone had a giant tissue. Charlotte disappeared into the house, promising to make one. As Coop closed the "Would You Wrather?" segment, it was Fred who finally handed Tracey a towel. Later that afternoon, having cleaned up, after getting into her town car to the airport, Tracey tells the driver to stop off at the Wrather home. A surprised Charlotte opens the door as she assumed Tracey had already left for her flight. The gymnast explains she had to stop to see Charlotte before she left. Stating that all her friends loved her appearance on Would You Wrather, Tracey hands over a folder containing her filled out student ambassadorial evaluation form. She assures Charlotte that she only gave the highest of marks. Charlotte is touched that the document appears to be laminated but is informed that it is really coated with dried snot. Charlotte claims to take that as a win anyway, and the gymnastic champion lets her have the victory.

The **Fillmore Girl** found Tara's NPC Dance Co jacket after their rival left it when she tried out for the Fillmore Dance Team. Since her team chose to pass on Tara, the Fillmore Girl decided to kill two birds with one stone, by personally telling Tara of her rejection, and subtly sow some dissention among the NPC Dance company by returning the incriminating jacket. The next day, she and a Fillmore teammate go to the North Plains Recreation Center to track down Tara at the venue where the NPC Dance Co practice. They corner their quarry amidst her dancing team in the room labeled Rehearsal Space 1. Despite Tara and her squad clearly being in the middle of some internal matter of their own, the Fillmore girls smugly stride in without an invitation. Tara immediately identifies the interlopers, and suggests they speak out in the hallway. The Fillmore Girl brazenly states that won't be necessary, and in front of all the members of the NPC Dance team, hands Tara back her jacket, explaining that she left it at the Fillmore auditions, the day before. The rival dancer informs Tara that she is sorry, but the Fillmore team rejected the NPC Dance Captain. However, before leaving, the Fillmore Girl candidly admits she is not sorry at all and does not deign to look back to witness the results of the seeds of discord she had just planted within Tara and the rest of the NPC Dance team membership.

## **The Spotted Hippo**

**Emma Wentworth** was a student of North Plains Day School. As her grandparents owned The Spotted Hippo, Emma had access to VIP passes to any show the venue hosted. A month before the scheduled Giant Future performance in North Plains, Emma constantly bragged at school, about this fact, as it promised to be the biggest concert of the year. As she stood on the club floor, waiting for the concert to start, Emma was approached by Cami Wrather, the younger sister of one of her classmates, Charlotte. Not willing to be seen in public with a middle schooler, Emma is dismissive until the girl asks if she could interview her for a school project about heroes, additionally claiming Emma is beating out Abraham Lincoln as her choice of subject. Emma asks if he is that cute Lacrosse player at school. Cami goes on to explain that she wants to write about Emma's sense of style and wishes they could talk in a more private place. Emma gets a sudden inspiration and suggests the VIP area of the club for the interview, Cami marvels that Emma came up with such a brilliant idea all on her own, and the older girl gives her a VIP pass. Cami takes the pass and follows Emma up the stairs to the special elevated area. The younger girl declares the space amazing and claims it is practically like being on stage, and the perfect place for taking selfies, as Cami experimentally takes one with her phone. Emma sagely notes "Once you go VIP, you can't go back-sie," adding she especially added the last part to make the quote rhyme and tells Cami to be certain to write that down for her report. Cami assures Emma that she is taking notes and says this could be the best night ever. Somewhere down below, in the regular crowd, a voice answers her. Peering down, they discern the source to be a guy dressed in just about every piece of Giant Future merchandise available. The male teen scans the reserved area and asks to be "VIP-ed" as well. Spotting shrimp among the catered food, he demands some be sent to him. Emma clearly does not appreciate being addressed by the sparkly stranger. Initially, Emma attempts to simply ignore the irritant, as she makes herself a plate of food, but the stubborn intruder does not leave, and continues his attempts to get by the bouncer. Eventually, Emma has Cami explain the situation on the identity of the pale pest, as they walk down the stairs to deal with the distraction. Cami introduces the guy as Fred, a friend of her brother's, but Fred also claims to be Cami's "concert buddy." Emma draws Cami towards the base of the stairs and informs the younger girl that the VIP platform is a "super chill" area, and that Fred is the opposite of that. Cami assures Emma that Fred will only take notes, and will hardly be noticeable, but the continuing enthusiastic prancing of the obviously obsessed GF fan cast doubts on Cami's claims. Emma acknowledges that Cami may be a "hotshot journalist" but if the younger girl want to remain in the VIP area-- which Cami quickly asserts that she does-- Emma decrees that she has to leave Fred where he is, as neither he or his outfit belong in the exclusive space. Leaving the choice completely on Cami, Emma turns away and ascends the stairs to join the other special guests of the club. Emma is not surprised to see Cami climb up the stairs alone a few minutes later and take a spot to stand beside her. Giant Future then takes the stage, and Cami screams, and briefly shakes Emma in her excitement. This forces Emma to remind the younger girl that the VIP area is a chill zone. Cami agrees but expresses the hope that the group sings "Boom Boom." Emma asks if that is one of the band's songs. When Cami asks if Emma is a Giant Future follower, the older teen candidly admits that she isn't really, clarifying that as the owner of the Spotted Hippo club, Emma's Pop-Pop always gives her VIP access to all the concerts held there. It doesn't matter to Emma at all who is performing, as long as the lighting makes her skin tone look good in all her selfies taken during the show. With that piece of wisdom, Emma begins taking pictures with her friends. However, after the first song or two, Cami removes the lanyard with the VIP pass on it, and hands it back to Emma. Saying that she had enough to write about, Cami thanks Emma for the pass but says she was going to watch the rest of the performance down below with her friend. Emma asks didn't she mean her brother's friend, but Cami admits that Fred is her friend as well and goes down the stairs. Emma continues taking pictures of herself and her friends during the show. At one point, Emma scans her pictures on her phones, and out of the corner of her eye, notices that something is occurring during the performance, as Giant Future calls up a pair of fans to join them on stage. Emma mouth drops wide open as she recognizes the duo as Fred and Cami, now also heavily garbed in Giant Future branded clothing. Amidst prancing around with the band, Cami takes a close-up selfie on the actual stage with Giant Future. Emma watches as Cami and Fred remain for the rest of the concert, even when Doc Rhymes arrives to join the show.

**5-Year Old Cooper** was visiting his father, Eric Wrather at his workplace, North Plains Fire Station 14, wearing his dad's helmet, which he was supposedly not to touch, little Coop was pushed in a mini firetruck. When his father claimed they had reached a big fire, he handed his son a hose, and asked if Coop knew what to do. Little Coop pressed the trigger and fired a spout of water at his dad's fellow fireman Big Frank. After giving his soaked co-worker a weak apology, Eric Wrather lifted Coop out of the firetruck, into a big hug, and bragged to his nearby wife, Jenna, that their son was a natural firefighter.

5-Year Old Cooper was portrayed by **Asher Morrissette.**

##### **Trivia**

## **North Plains Fire Station 14**

**Captain Paul Washburn**  was the captain of North Plains Fire Station 14. This year in particular, he was greatly anticipating the Annual North Plains Junior Firefighter Exams, as Cooper Wrather, the son of Fire Station 14's legendary Eric Wrather, was eligible for the first time, to take the test that morning. He let everyone in the building know that fact, telling the other applicants not to be intimidated by Coop's presence, despite Fred initially thinking the captain was referring to him. After cutting Fred off, the captain points to where a picture of Eric Wrather hung on an honored place on the wall. He gives Coop an encouraging pat on the shoulder, and states that everyone was expecting big things from him. After both Fred and Jenna show support for Cooper beginning with a chant with foam fingers, capped by a blast of an airhorn from Mrs. Wrather, Captain Washburn explains the first section is the Fire Hose Carry, to the group of waiting teens. The cadet must hoist a pair of coiled fire hoses in each arm, weave through a line of traffic cones, and circle around a metal drum barrel and place the hoses down in the same starting position for the next person, within 25 seconds. Standing by the firehouse entrance, Captain Washburn produces a stopwatch, and then blows a whistle to officially begin the test. The first applicant performs the task with little difficulty, but Washburn has to remind the next in line, Cooper, that he is on the clock. Realizing that his turn has begun, Cooper grabs the hoses and weaves between the cones, but stumbles after making the turn, and falls to the ground grabbing his knee. Captain Washburn is the first to reach the fallen teen, soon followed by Fred and Mrs. Wrather, who rush Coop to the hospital. Initially, Jenna tells the Captain that the doctor advised that Coop should rest his knee. However, a few hours later, Jenna calls again and states that Coop feels well enough to retake the test later that same day, which the Captain is happy to arrange. As the only one being tested, Cooper quickly reaches the final part, The Dummy Rescue, with time dwindling down, he must get the dummy lying outside the fire station to the finish line inside. Just as Cooper is about to drag the dummy over the line, Captain Washburn decides to throw in a twist. Declaring that the starting point is now on fire, he states that Coop must now get the dummy to the new finishing point, outside the building. Coop protests that wasn't in the exam handbook, but the Captain maintains he should be prepared for the unexpected. Adding the traffic cones are now active flames which must be avoided, the Captain gives Coop 25 seconds to finish. Dragging the dummy around the imaginary flame, Cooper stumbles and falls to the floor. With less than 10 seconds left, Cooper gathers himself, and hoists the dummy up on his shoulder in a traditional fireman's carry. Counting down the final seconds aloud with his stopwatch, Captain Washburn follows Cooper as the teen races for the goal, and collapses after emerging outside the station. The Captain lowers his hand to help Fire Station 14's newest Junior Fireman, Cooper Wrather, to his feet. After Cooper is congratulated by his family and friends, Washburn takes a helmet from Big Frank to officially confer upon Cooper his status as a Junior Firefighter, and has his men applaud the achievement. The captain, with the rest of his crew, offer their congratulations to Jenna on her son's success, as they walk back into the station. Jenna states that she wants to go to her car for her camera. Just as she is about to emerge out of the station, her daughters, Charlotte and Cami, fling themselves in front of Jenna and are hit by a barrage of balloons apparently filled with paint. Big Frank draws Jenna deeper inside the building towards Captain Washburn, who appears ready to investigate the incident, but Jenna gives him a glance which asks him to allow her to handle the situation with her girls. Paul Washburn accepts the silent request, as he and Big Frank head for the squad rest room to wash off any errant flecks of paint.

Captain Paul Washburn was portrayed by **Regi Davis.**

**Peyton's Mom**  was the mother of both Peyton and her younger brother Ryan. During the move to the house on Canada Street, her faux fur coat went missing. Peyton eventually confessed that one of her classmates, Fred, had absconded with it. For her son Ryan's upcoming birthday, she booked a party room at Kangaroo Jim's at Stone Valley Mall. At the party, after Kangaroo Jim. himself, saw to the final details of the event, party candles for the special cake, a four-foot tall three level creation decorated with white frosting and polka dots, which had been placed on a sled to make it mobile, were missing, and Cooper Wrather, the boyfriend of Ryan's older sister, Peyton volunteered to find them. However, after he left the premises, his sister, Cami entered the scene. After a few minutes, the older lady began to feel the party slipping away and decided to serve the cake without the candles. However, as she slid the cake forward, Cami stepped in front of the cart, babbling that kids didn't want cake, and would rather have healthy choices like carrot sticks, instead. The teen asks the assemblage of kids who wants sharper vision, but no one replies anything else except "cake". Ryan's mother tries to slide the cart forward, but Cami deliberately moved in the way, causing the cart to retreat several times. Finally, Peyton intervened, seizing Cami's arm, and physically dragged her out of the way of the cake, letting her mother reach the side of the birthday boy, her brother, Ryan. With a pointed party hat over his head, Ryan is quite impressed by the oversized cake, figuring that it must be the biggest cake ever, Ryan thanks his mother, and states it is exactly what he wanted. However, the words are barely out of his mouth, when a screaming Cami Wrather, leaps upon the ornate structure, virtually pulverizing the uppermost layer of the huge dessert. As Ryan wails about the tragic fate of his birthday, cake, a bewildered Cami murmurs to herself, that the now ruined showpiece was real. Ryan and Peyton's Mother can only confirm in a stunned voice that the destroyed delicacy, was in fact, $300 real. In response, Cami can only turn slightly an offer a belated "Happy Birthday, Buddy," wish towards Ryan. Cooper than returns with the missing candles and surprised, identifies the latest cake topper as his sister. Cami acknowledges her brother, and tries to lead the party goers in a rendition of "Happy Birthday" which no one deigns to join in. Ultimately, Cami is extracted from her messy circumstances, and Peyton draws the Wrather siblings away to get an explanation for what had just occurred. The kids form a line, and Ryan and his mother proceed the somber task of piling particles of cake remnants onto tiny plates, and sticking plastic forks on top. "Just eat it," she implores the disappointed crowd of party guests. As the pair continue to distribute the decimated dessert, a ringtone becomes discernable. Tracing the sound, her son pokes his hand into the cake remains and pulls out a cell phone. Turning towards Cami, Ryan returns the device to the party crasher and sarcastically notes that the call is for her. Some months later, Peyton and Ryan's mother would leave North Plains, along with the rest of her family for their new home in New Mexico.

The **Hockey Referee** was an official for the Minnesota Junior Hockey League. He was assigned to officiate the matchup between the North Plains Wolverines and the Portsmouth Penguins at the North Plains home ice venue, Dinky's Ice Rink. As the final period began, the home Wolverines were down to the visiting Penguins 4-1. About 3 minutes into the action, upon entering the game, North Plains player #8 performed a blatant cross-check on Portsmouth player #47. The Referee skated over and blew his whistle, sending the guilty Wolverine to the penalty box for 2 minutes for the offense. Less than a minute later, the same Portsmouth player was knocked down to the ice again, this time by North Plains #34, in another obvious foul. Blowing his whistle again, the Referee raised his arms to silently indicate that Wolverine 34 had been given the same punishment as his predecessor, 2 minutes in the penalty box. Despite the rocky start, the home team North Plains Wolverines were able to overcome the 4 to 1 deficit, and eventually defeat the Portsmouth Penguins.

Seasonal Christmas Tree Lot

## **Hillman's Body Shop**

**Nick** was a resident of North Plains that managed a Christmas tree lot during the holiday season. Early Christmas Eve morning, a Mrs. Wrather called, and ordered an 8-foot Douglas Fir. Having one such tree left in inventory, Nick promised to reserve it for her, provided she picked it up before noon. However, twelve noon came and went without her appearance, and Nick sold the tree to another customer who did manage to arrive at the tree lot before closing time. With that last sale, the seasonal business was effectively done for the year. After sorting out the back area of the venue, Nick emerged into the front, still garbed in his oversized elf costume. As he was locking up the gate, a bunch of kids, led by a small boy pulling a green wooden wagon, called out for him to wait, as they were there for a tree. However, after securing the lock, Nick informed them that the tree lot was closed. The tallest boy of the group suggested that he could change Nick's mind, as he slipped in a small gratuity as a bribe with a handshake. Identifying a simple soy sauce packet in his hand, Nick asked if the other was kidding, and the abashed youngster had to confess he was. The shortest girl in the gathering, explained that their mother had previously called about the tree, and that they were the Wrathers. Nick repeated the name with a tinge of recognition but maintained that the lot was still closed. The taller girl, attempted to play on his sympathy, begging Nick to embrace the spirit of the holiday and become the helpful elf the world needed him to be. Nick then admitted he had held a tree for the Wrather family but sold it to someone who had actually been on the lot at the time. He then dismissed the gathering of kids with a sarcastic wave and a mawkish extended "bye." The girl then dropped her pleasant manner. informing him that they were going to leave a single star online review. Nick removed his cap in dismay, noting that such harsh criticism could force him to close the lot until next year. But then he carelessly tossed the pointed hat away and stated that he was doing exactly that anyway. Turning his back to the kids, Nick began the process of securing the cash register, when the blonde girl declared her intention to call the supervisor of the tree lot. Thus, Nick was not surprised when the business phone chimed. He placed the phone next to his ear, and as he answered the device, he turned to stare directly at the source of the call and stated that he was Nick, the supervisor. Clearly outplayed, the girl turned away and weakly said she would call back later. With their last ploy shot down, the defeated group of kids left the premises without a tree. Finally left alone, Nick broke down the seasonal decorations and put away and secured the on-site equipment so he could return home and change for his regular job, as a security guard for Hillman's Body Shop. At closing time, Nick was the last employee left. As he was giving a final check of the repair area, he heard the ding of the service bell in the front. As he entered the main office, Nick unfortunately discovered three familiar faces from the Wrather family, with the smallest one, standing inside a stack of tires. Shocked, Nick could only point at them and utter "You," with distaste, as the youngest Wrather sank into his hiding place. After the Wrather siblings extricated their brother from the tires, the sister noted that Nick was fortunate to have so many jobs. Nick replies sarcastically that the tree lot alone, failed to cover the expenses of his yacht. At that point, the youngest Wrather announced that he had farted while in the stack of tires. As Nick picked up a file folder from the counter, the older brother joked that the younger brother was not with them. He explained that all the Wrather Christmas presents were in the trunk of their mother's car, which had been towed to the shop that afternoon for service, and they needed to retrieve them. Nick claimed he would have liked to help them he was only person permitted in that area after business hours, which a glance at his watch confirmed had passed. He indicated the exit with the folder, offered them another sarcastic farewell and left the office. However, when Nick returned, not only had the Wrather kids not left, but he also observed that even more people had arrived as an older woman was now present along with the other teens from before He raised and waved his hands in mock celebration, as he noted aloud that the crowd in the office had grown larger. As Nick turned away to retrieve a box from a shelf, the woman politely requested a minute to access and recover the trunkful of presents. Just as politely, Nick replied that as the sign in the front showed, the shop was closed. Mrs. Wrather pointed out that the gifts were expensive, and she did not feel comfortable leaving them in the car for a whole week. However, Nick explains that he while didn't make the rules, he does get annoyed by people who don't follow them. He then again offers what has become his trademark sarcastic "Bye," and leaves the room. Just as Nick finally finished squaring away the back area, his phone rang. It was his mother, telling him to join the rest of the family for Christmas at his sister Judy's house. He was still talking to his mom when he entered the office, and Nick was finally able to end the call by telling "Mommykins" she was always taking Judy's side, and he was definitely not showing up for the holidays. He could not hide the annoyance in his voice when he spotted the Wrather brothers and their friend still in the office. The older Wrather brother explained that his sisters had gone with their mother to bring the loaner car around. He then asked Nick about his own sister. Nick quickly replied to the kid that he should mind his own business. But the teen insisted that he could relate to Nick's situation, as he often quarreled with his own sisters. Not wanting to hear the kid's story, Nick stated he had paperwork to finish, but the youth continued on with his narrative. As the blonde boy babbled on about some late-night hair clipper attack perpetrated by his younger sister, Nick turned away and began gathering up various files, doing his best to ignore the distraction. However, despite himself, Nick began taking interest in the story. As Cooper ended his recollection, stating that although his hair eventually grew back, the absence did cause some embarrassment during Space Camp. Nick claimed that story was nothing compared to the time Judy took him to school. When the younger boys stated that did not seem like much, Nick clarified that he had been stuffed in a bird cage at the time. Just then, Nick felt a bit hungry, and got himself a warm beverage, and retrieved a plastic container filled with puffed cheese sticks. The others said that Judy sounded like a real piece of work. Nick agreed and spotting his autographed baseball in its display base on the counter, took it out and told them how Judy once had taken that very ball and thrown it into the lake. Nick began tossing the ball in the air. The Wrathers' friend claiming to have played tee ball, asks to see it, but as he reaches for it, he only succeeds in knocking the ball behind the counter. Spreading out his arms in a gesture of disbelief, Nick gives the youth a glare, before going to find the wayward ball. Claiming that his friend was not with them either, Cooper joined Nick behind the counter as they crawled on the floor, to help locate the lost ball. However, Nick found the teen's efforts more blocking than helpful, as they looked under the office furniture. When the ball was finally found, the pair spent a few minutes jostling for possession of the ball. This lasted until both eventually got back to their feet, and Nick finally managed to wrest his ball out of Cooper's grasp. Jamming the ball back into its display base, Nick stated he was done talking about Judy, and admitted that they had not even spoken to each other in years. Nick then sat on the edge of a compact file cabinet and opened his container of puffed cheese snacks. Looking somber, Cooper noted that was a long time. At that point, the female Wrathers returned, and Mrs. Wrather announced they were ready to go. As Nick began eating his cheese puffs, Cooper asked his mother to wait a second. The teen asked Nick what were his holiday plans since he wasn't going to his sister's house. Nibbling on his cheese puffs, Nick informed Cooper that he was already looking at it--a holiday spent alone in the office. Cooper conceded that all siblings fight amongst themselves, be he insisted that they should work out their differences. He further declared that he couldn't imagine spending Christmas without his family. Nick does not deny Cooper's point but concedes that even if he wanted to see his sister again, he had no idea what he would say. The Wrather friend advises to just start talking, adding sometimes that is all that is ever needed. Before Nick could respond, Cami Wrather stated that her friend was right, and that it was Christmas, he should be with his sister, as she moved to stand next to her brother, Cooper. Still uncertain, Nick shook his head, pointing out he had no way of getting there, as the buses weren't running that night. Continuing to eat his cheese sticks, Nick waved off the idea, and posited that maybe he could do something about the situation next year. Glumly resuming his meager meal, Nick's head popped up as he heard Cooper ask his mother if they could take Nick to his sister's house to spend the holidays with his family. To Nick complete surprise, each of the younger people indicated their approval of the idea. Stating that the kids were full of surprises, Mrs. Wrather stepped over to Nick and told him to grab his stuff, because they were taking him to Judy's house. Placing the plastic container down, Nick got to his feet and questioned that they would be willing to do a favor for him. He indicated the repair area behind him with his thumb, especially since he had denied them the chance to retrieve their presents from their car. Mrs. Wrather only replied with a vague "Right," to acknowledge the situation. Not wanting to give the family the chance to change their minds on the unexpected offer, Nick only grabbed his knit cap, before heading for the door. Mrs. Wrather then asks where Judy lives, and before leaving the premises, Nick replies, "Wisconsin." Thus, a little more than four hours later, due the generosity of the Wrathers, for the first time in years, Nick spent the holidays with his own family.

Nick was portrayed by **Kelly Perine.**

### **Portrayed by**

**Judge Pringle** was a judge for the North Plains Pairs Figure Skating Championships. After arriving at the competition venue, Dinky's Ice Rink, Mr. Pringle makes his presence known, as he clears all the practice skaters off the ice, by announcing the pairs championship would commence in ten minutes. However, two young female contestants, both dressed in western themed costumes, but of different coloring, entered the rink from opposite directions, and begin yelling at each other while still wearing their regular shoes. Eventually the pair threw down their cowboy hats, and managed to grab a hold on each other, clumsily swinging themselves across the ice. Like the rest of the crowd, the judge was shocked by the confrontation they were witnessing. As the senior official present, he began moving towards the nearest rink entrance. As he stepped onto the ice. Mr. Pringle blew his whistle, telling the girls to knock it off. He further admonished them by insisting there was no fighting in figure skating. He then noticed the shiny particles scattered across the ice. Invoking the name of American skating icon, Scott Hamilton, Pringle decried the fact that the girls had each dislodged sequins from each other's costumes. In his mind, the judge could not conceive of a more heinous crime in the world of figure skating. He summarily declares that both contestants were disqualified from the competition. The shorter girl had the temerity to ask which of them has been disqualified more. Judge Pringle replies by pointing outside the rink with the curt command of, "Out!" He follows the disgraced disheveled pair, whom he would shortly learn, were actually sisters, named Charlotte and Cami Wrather, as they made their way off the ice. He then sat down next to his fellow judge to watch the remaining pairs skate their routines. However, the respective partners of the Wrather sisters, Cooper Wrather and Jonathan Dixon approached Pringle before the final skaters were scheduled to perform. Citing that each were still individually eligible for the competition, the two teens made a surprising proposal, and seeing the merit of the concept, the judge granted their unexpected request. As the last scheduled skating pair left the rink, Judge Pringle noted that there was a last-minute entry to the contest. By the time he introduced the new team of Cooper Wrather and Jonathan Dixon to the crowd, the pair, dressed as cowboys, one colored turquoise the other salmon, were already on the ice, and in their starting position. Unlike the other performances, when Pringle and his fellow judge would stand and clap to acknowledge each pairing as they started their programs, before sitting down, both officials were so impressed by the elegance and power demonstrated by the only male pairing, that they remained on their feet for the entire routine. The appreciative crowd threw roses onto the ice and loudly signaled their approval with sustained applause, as the two guys finished skating. Pringle and the other judge did not participate, as they were preoccupied determining their scores for the last pair, and then immediately afterwards, tabulating the final official results for the entire competition on their clipboards. While Cooper and Dixon were still basking in the audience adulation, Judge Pringle declared that they had won the pairs championship in a landslide victory. He them bent down and retrieved the winners' prizes and entered the rink. Judge Pringle handed Cooper the over-sized check for $300, and the first-place trophy to Dixon. He then departed the ice to allow the unexpected championship pairing of Cooper Wrather and Jonathan Dixon to proudly hold aloft their hard-won trophy together and exult in their moment of triumph.

Judge Pringle was portrayed by **Eddie Leavy.**

**Mr. Daniels** was seeking a new home in North Plains. He saw a sign advertising a large property known in the local area as the Wilcox place, which piqued his interest. Daniels called the number listed for the LMK Realty agent, Jenna Wrather, and made an appointment to view the property within the hour. Arriving at the agreed upon time, no one was there to greet Mr. Daniels as he approached the main house. Reaching the front entrance, he knocked on the door and called out a hello. Receiving no answer, Daniels twisted the doorknob, and noting it was unlocked, opened the door and entered the house. Where he was met by a woman in a bowling shirt, with the name "Jenna" stitched across it. She identified him by his last name, and welcomed him to the house, as they shook hands. Daniels thanked her for the courtesy and made note of her shirt. Spreading her arms wide, the real estate agent declared she intended to "bowl him over," with how amazing the property was. Daniels tried to explain he did not have a lot of time for a full tour, and Jenna responded that meant they didn't "have a second to spare." Daniels mutely pondered her use of bowling puns. Jenna suggested beginning the tour with the scenic grounds outside. Daniels attempted to explain he had already seen much on the way to the main entrance, but Jenna gave him an unexpectedly powerful shove which nearly caused him to lose his balance and propelled him back outside through the doorway. Shutting the door behind them, Jenna uttered an enthusiastic "Great." After showing off what could be seen of the flora around the house for a few minutes, Jenna led them back inside to where they had just been, which she now clarified as the great room. She described the farthest door as leading to a chef's kitchen with double ovens and an island counter. She then guided him to the fireplace, which she revealed was made with marble imported from Italy. Running her hand over the mantlepiece, she wrapped up that part of the tour. Daniels held up his hands and suggests she slow down. Jenna points that he was the one who imposed a time limit. She begins to lead him towards the Billiards room, but then she physically twirls Daniels around saying such rooms generally all look alike. She then slides her hand down the mantlepiece again and quizzes Daniels if he remembers where the marble came from. Daniels is speechless, until he begins to discern music coming from somewhere, and glances about, trying to discover the source. He finally asks Jenna if the music is just coming from the walls. She confirms that and assures him that the wall speakers are all top-of-the-line. Daniels asks her to turn the sound off, but Jenna insists that she can't, until he hears the rap song she has composed about how great the Wilcox place was. Daniels then has to endure the woman extoling the large windows, ceiling fans, washer and dryer, and indoor pool of the house in rhyme. She then lets out a sudden shriek, declaring that the house makes one feel alive. Two kids suddenly race across the room, and Daniels asks who they are. Jenna identifies them as her children, Cami and Ollie, and they state they are there to support their mother in her real estate job. A knock is heard, and a pizza guy enters to deliver a "large very gross pizza." Jenna insists he has the wrong address, as the house has its own pizza oven, and turning towards Daniels, offers to rap about it. But extending his hands out, he emphatically begs her not to. Daniels then states that he thinks they are done and attempts to head for the door. However, Jenna comes up from behind him and pushes him towards the staircase instead. Thus, instead of departing, Daniels finds himself, somewhat unwillingly, continuing the tour by climbing the stairs to the next floor. Eventually, the pair descend to the lower portion of the house, Jenna suggests that Daniels will be surprised by what they will find in the basement. The real estate agent is not wrong, as Daniels sees a large spacious area filled with gym equipment as well as a crowd of teenagers, along with the Pizza Guy from before, watching two young male teens lying on the floor mats, locked in a leg wrestling match, each screaming with pain under the strain. Jenna mutters under her breath that she gives up. A long thin, furry creature abruptly skitters across the floor, followed closely by the Wrather kids, calling out for "Norman" to come back to them. When Daniels is finally able to speak. he asks Jenna if that was a rodent he just saw. Before she can reply, the elongated mammal makes physical contact with the lighter haired leg wrestler, distracting him enough to let his opponent claim victory. With the contest apparently decided, the gathering of teens disperse, despite the defeated wrestler, perhaps justifiably, calling for a rematch due to "Ferret interference," The Wrather kids argue that they have lost track of Norman again, but Ollie insists that if they just listen to him, he can find the fugitive ferret. Jenna begs her son to help his mother by doing so. Ollie picks up a wireless microphone which apparently, has been connected to the household sound system. He screeches "Norman, stop your rage, comma, comma, come back to your cage." And for good measure, Ollie repeats the refrain. He barely places the mic down, before the ferret is at his feet (at which point, Daniels cannot help but notice, that the boy is wearing only one red shoe). Ollie kneels and gathers the creature in his arms, explaining that is how they call back Norman when he gets loose at school, as the ferret "is a metalhead." As Mr. Daniels has taken in the entire scene in mute silence, Jenna states that it has now been shown there is room for a lot of things in the area. Before he can comment, he hears clanging from above. As Daniels looks upward, the grating over his head swings open, and he barely has time to yelp, while instinctively bringing his hands up in a defensive motion. A screaming figure plummets on top of him, sending them both to the floor. Landing on the right side of his body, he was barely able to discern that a teenaged girl rolls off of him, stating she has found her phone. While he remains laying there in a dazed state, Jenna approaches and inquires in a hopeful tone whether she should get the paperwork started and giving him an encouraging sign of a double thumbs up. Shuddering slightly, from his recent experiences, Mr. Daniels cannot find the words to form a suitable reply and can only glare incredulously at her.

Mr. Daniels was portrayed by **Scott Dreier.**

## **Krause Piano Academy**

**Mrs. Krause** was a resident of North Plains and the owner of the Krause Piano Academy. On the Saturday morning of the Year End Recital of her latest class of students, Mrs. Krause discovers two teens, a boy and a girl, apparently switching out the genuine programs on the chairs in the performance room of the Academy, with counterfeit ones of their own devise. Unnoticed, the woman retrieves one of the faux pamphlets and peruses it, as the pair continue their nefarious task. When the boy wonders aloud if Mrs. Krause could uncover their deception, the girl dismisses the possibility, glibly estimating that the piano teacher is about 300 years old. Mrs. Krause calmly corrects the girl, revealing her presence, by stating she is actually 310. The two guilty miscreants, caught red-handed, look up to see Mrs. Krause standing before them. After gasping in surprise, the girl notes that at least Mrs. Krause is wearing her teeth. Mrs. Krause recognizes the duo as Cooper and Cameron Wrather, former troublesome piano pupils, and the elder siblings of one of her favorite current students, Oliver. Informing the "little monsters," she remembers who they are, she states that if they wanted to adjust their younger brother's spot in the order, they should have just asked. She continues on, claiming to be happy to make a such a change, as the Wrather siblings exchange happy expressions. Mrs. Krause then decrees that Oliver will be dead last on the list and begins fanning the false program in her hand. She then has the Wrathers undo their plan and restore the proper programs. Afterwards, Mrs. Krause sits at the greeting table for a time, but mutely signals to the brother and sister pair that she has her eyes on them. She. then rises and begins mingling with the crowd composed of her students' families. Mrs. Krause then makes her way towards the front row where the obviously still plotting teens have sat. Cooper is in the midst of claiming to laugh at danger, only to yelp when he finds his former piano teacher standing behind him. As she silently moves away. the Wrather siblings rise and head towards the backstage area, the place Mrs. Krause had advised her students to use to relax and focus on their upcoming performances. After the Wrathers fail to return, Mrs. Krause deems it prudent to see what may be occurring behind the privacy curtain. Emerging into the student waiting space, she immediately encounters the Wrather siblings heading in the opposite direction, wheeling a cello case out. Despite having a strong inkling for what is actually transpiring, Mrs. Krause asks the pair what they are doing. Cameron claims they are clearing the area of instruments to grant the students more room, but the older lady questions why someone would punch numerous airholes at the top of the case. Cooper offers up a feeble "'Cause?" Mrs. Krause leans over to open the cello case and is not too surprised to discover Oliver Wrather huddled within. The young boy states that he is a cello with a honk. Calling Oliver a "sweet boy," she gives him a peppermint candy, and helps him out of the instrument case. Mrs. Krause accuses his "nasty siblings" of attempting to lead him down a "wicked path." She shoots the other Wrathers a warning glare, as she guides their brother away from them. The recital begins and Mrs. Krause spends most of her time in the back of the room enjoying her students' efforts. When she estimates that Oliver's performance is only a quarter of an hour off, she goes backstage to make certain he is still there, and not been lured into whatever questionable machinations his older siblings have been plotting all morning to engage him in. Oliver was there, on his feet, clutching his sheet music tightly. Mrs. Krause tells Oliver how much time he has left to prepare, and notes that he does not appear very relaxed. Oliver admits that his siblings want him to focus on something else instead of the piano. Already aware of that, Mrs. Krause asks the youngest Wrather what he wants to do. Oliver admits he does not know but states he does not want to disappoint them. Calling him a sweet boy and a loyal brother, Mrs. Krause, advises Oliver to do what is best for himself. She smiles and gives him a reassuring pat on the head, before leaving, Just before the final female pupil to play reached the stage, Mrs. Krause called out to the nervous boy that he was due next, without checking to see if he was actually there, confident that Oliver Wrather chose the correct choice. During the penultimate piano performance, Mrs. Krause notices the Wrather siblings emerge from the backstage area accompanied by a bearded stranger and stand off to the side of the room. As the final pupil before Oliver finishes her piece, the unknown man attempts to leave. Although still not fully aware of whatever illicit operation the Wrather siblings have been attempting to entangle poor, innocent Oliver, into all afternoon, Mrs. Krause is not willing to disregard her own personal decrees. Blocking the figure's path, Mrs. Krause informs him that no one can leave a recital until it is over, and commands him to take a seat. The man points out that he is not the parent of a student, and insists he has to go, but Mrs. Krause merely points to the nearest empty chair, and the stranger ultimately complies with a hurried, yet polite, "Yes, Ma'am." Mrs. Krause then proudly watches Oliver Wrather steps from the crimson curtain with his sheet music in hand. After bowing to the audience, he sits on the piano bench, and starts to arrange his music papers on the piano. As the youngest Wrather prepared to play, Mrs. Krause's attention was diverted towards a familiar sight, the long rivalry between Oliver's mother Jenna Wrather, and Judy Vanderwiesen over seating. Having observed their feud at a distance in previous recitals, Mrs. Krause had not interfered, allowing nature to take its course, however, in a move more characteristic of her other children, Jenna feigns a moist sneeze by flicking water from a bottle at the back of her rival's head, tricking Judy to arise with the intent to freshen up, with the result of granting Oliver's mother an unencumbered view of the stage. As Judy had already seen her child, Emily, perform, Mrs. Krause deems it equitable that Jenna should have the same opportunity to watch Oliver play. Thus, she allows Judy to exit the room without comment. As his mother takes advantage of the unhindered vantage point to immortalize his performance on her phone, Oliver begins playing his piece, *Bagatelle #25 in A Minor* by Ludwig von Beethoven. The full title would have had been too much for the boy, as he had difficulty dealing with the more prosaic name, *Für Elise.* As Mrs. Krause expected, Oliver aptly finishes the composition, closing the Academy recital to a roomful of applause with his teacher among the most appreciative, followed by his mother, and somewhat surprisingly, his elder siblings, as whatever nefarious mischief they tried to entice Oliver into never materialized. As a smiling Oliver Wrather takes a well-deserved bow, he abruptly erupts with a massive belching sound. As bizarrely as it seems, Mrs. Krause surmises that very moment was somehow the culmination of all the Wrather siblings' antics, judging from the exchange of thumbs up signs between them and the bearded stranger. Yet, as Oliver was able to display his talent, despite their interference, Mrs. Krause decides to let the matter drop. Still, their former piano teacher moves to stand silently behind the Wrather siblings as a subtle warning, as Cooper discoverers with another yelp.

## Production

### **Portrayed by**

David Futernick

**Mr. Donnelly** was an official for **Thor Munson's Weird & Amazing World Records,** traveling on a tour with the author. On the Saturday morning of the stop in North Plains Minnesota, the contingent went to the station home of the local radio program, ***The Morning Swarm with Buzzer and the Bee.*** As he did in every city he visited, Thor Munson invited anyone in the listening audience so inclined, to come down to the studio and attempt, in person, to earn an entry in a future edition of his book in whatever manner they could devise, with the cutoff time at noon. As the morning progressed, numerous hopefuls arrived to accept the offer and Mr. Donnelly was busy attempting to see if their efforts were valid and unique enough to warrant inclusion in the record book. Towards the end of the allotted time, a young teen girl approached Thor Munson and insisted that since her little brother could not come down to the studio, he would have to come with her to see him burp. Thor immediately called for security, and the female intruder was led away literally kicking and screaming. As she passed by, Mr. Donnelly recognized her as Cami Wrather of his kid's favorite webshow, ***Would You Wrather?*** Thus, he was willing to hear her out. Having witnessed many of Ollie Wrather's antics with his children, Mr. Donnelly was intrigued by Cami's request. After telling Thor Munson that it was worth the extra effort to follow up on this possible record hopeful, he gathered up a digital sound level meter, and left with Cami to meet up with the rest of the Wrathers at the Krause Piano Academy, where Ollie was preoccupied, participating in his class recital. Following her inside the venue, Mr. Donnelly lagged slightly behind Cami to allow her to explain his presence to her brother, Cooper. Once she had done so, Mr. Donnelly joined the siblings entering the recital room, at that moment, Ollie stuck his head out of the backstage curtain, and the man gave the young boy an encouraging thumbs up signal. The trio then made their way to the backstage area to give Ollie the opportunity to set a Munson World Record. After Cami explains who he is to her younger sibling, Mr. Donnelly has to place an audio receiver on the subject. but takes the time to state that his daughter is a big fan, as he sets the device on Ollie's lapel. However, Ollie seems distracted, as he notices the current student playing, Sally, hit a wrong note. Cooper tells his brother to focus, pointing out that Mr. Donnelly is a busy man. With the equipment set, Mr. Donnelly informs Ollie to start when he is ready, advising him to "Let it rip." Cooper adds his encouragement, instructing his brother to "fill the room with his glorious gut gas." However, Ollie's initial attempt barely registers on the meter. Cami suspects that Ollie just needs to warm up, and Cooper hands their brother a bottle of carbonated water to drink from. Ollie takes a sip, and Cami instructs him to "blow the roof off the place." Yet the second effort is nowhere near worthy of official Munson record consideration. A rather authoritative female voice then announces that Oliver is up next to perform. Mr. Donnelly. suggests that the time is not right, but Cami insists the Ollie has it under control, and s<br>uggests more water. But Ollie objects, stating there is too much going on in his brain. Throwing his piano sheet music on the floor, Ollie declares that he quits everything, and stalks away from his siblings. Mr. Donnelly can only watch in silence with the other Wrathers as the boy exits using the b<br><br><br><br>ackstage door. The Wrathers, allow their sibling a minute of privacy, before following, leaving Mr. Donnelly with nothing to do except gather up Ollie's sheet music from the floor. However, when the Wrathers return a few minutes later, they reveal that Ollie has decided to concentrate on his imminent performance and is done with trying to set the burp record. Somewhat disappointed, Mr. Donnelley departs with the older Wrathers to allow the brother to focus on the piano in the brief time he has left before going on stage. As the trio emerge into the audience, Coop and Cami stand off to the side to watch Ollie play, but Mr. Donnelly, still on a tight schedule, decides to leave and rejoin the others on the Munson book tour. But as he heads towards the exit, an older lady demands to know where he thinks he is going. Recognizing her voice as the same one that previously called out to Ollie, Mr. Donnelly surmises that she is Mrs. Krause, the proprietor of the piano academy. He explains that he is not a parent of one of her students, but the woman insists that no one can leave one of her recitals until it ends. Mr. Donnelly tries to state that he has to get back to his job, but Mrs. Krause mutely points to the nearest empty chair. Deciding it prudent, to comply, Mr. Donnelly follows the implied command with a polite "Yes Ma'am." After he settles in his seat, Ollie Wrather takes the stage. As the boy begins playing Beethoven's *Für Elise.* Mr. Donnelly, realizes, that Ollie still has the audio receiver. Out of idle scientific curiosity, Mr. Donnelly withdraws the digital sound level meter from his jacket and activates the device. Ollie finishes his piece to a full ovation and takes a bow with a huge smile across his freckled features. However, as he straightens up Ollie, abruptly. releases a thunderous belch. Although an unexpected occurrence, Mr. Donnelly happens to be in perfect position to monitor the situation, and carefully scrutinizes the readings. After finishing, Ollie reaches for his lapel, as if realizing that the receiver is still there. Cami Wrather glances at Mr. Donnelly with an inquisitive double thumbs up signal. Still holding the audio meter, Mr. Donnelly answers with a broad smile and a thumbs up with his free hand. Cooper also does the two-thumbs up gesture in celebration, and Ollie who has been watching the interactions while still onstage spreads his arms wide. Mr. Donnelly feel gratified that his side trip has not been a waste of time, as Olliver Wrather officially becomes the Thor Munson World Record holder of the loudest burp at 73.2.

## **Fast N' Fruity**

**Jen** was a resident of North Plains that worked as a barista for a Fast N' Fruity smoothie shop. One afternoon, as she took her break, she donned a pair of sunglasses, selected a Yes I Cantaloupe flavored drink, and sat at an empty window table. A female customer briefly stopped by to converse with her, and afterwards, Jen began perusing her phone. A male voice from behind her introduces himself as Fred, but when Jen spins in her seat to face the speaker, the dark-haired teen squeaks out that he likes her hair, before fleeing. Jen had barely spun back to her in her spot, when another teen boy named Cooper starts to speak with her. He states that while he didn't want to bother her, his sister, Cami, who was a huge admirer of her work, was having a thirteenth birthday party the next day and he asked Jen if she wanted to come. Jen accepted the invitation and took down the necessary details on her phone. Her break ended soon afterwards, and Jen placed her sunglasses and phone on the front counter, and began to recount to her fellow barista, Alex, what had just transpired. Reaching down to retrieve her apron and drape it over her body, Jen realized that Cami must have ordered a specially made smoothie of the month to become a fan of her beverage making talent. The next day, the same two teens return to the shop. After Jen greets them, they ask why she is behind the counter wearing a uniform with the name "Jen" on it. She responds with the obvious answer that she works there. They then make the outrageous statement that Ariana Grande works at a juice shop. She is shocked by that claim, until the boys explain that the day before, they had mistaken Jen for the famous pop star. Several hour later, near the end of her shift, Cooper and Fred enter the shop and talk to Jen once again. They explain that all the guests are expecting to see Ariana Grande at Cami's party, and Cooper offers Jen ten dollars to come and pretend to be the singer. As Jen planned to go anyway, she agrees and follows the boys to the party venue, the auditorium of North Plains Day School, without bothering to remove her Fast N' Fruity apron. She waits inside the in the school hallway near the auditorium entrance until Fred calls for "Ariana Grande-ish," which Jen takes as her cue, and makes her entrance. Waving her hand in greeting, Jen introduces herself to the birthday girl, Cami, and her glasses-wearing friend, named Delaware. Cami, greets Jen by name, but then asks who's Jen. Jen identifies herself again, this time pointing at herself for emphasis. The boys explain that since they thought Jen was Ariana Grande, so could the party guests, but Cami seems doubtful. Delaware then approaches, and revealing that she was a huge fan of Fast N' Fruity, asks to shoot some selfies with her, which Jen obliges. As the photos are taken, Cami does admit that Jen does look like Ariana, and Cooper states with clothes and makeup, Jen could pull off the impersonation. Cami asks if Jen is willing to go along with the plan, and Jen admits she has had bad birthdays as well, and is happy to help, and adds that Cooper already paid her ten bucks. Cami asks about singing, and Jen assures them all that she has a song ready to sing. Everyone then agrees to try out the desperate scheme, and head backstage. In the school wardrobe room, the girls find a suitable dress for impersonating a pop star. After Jen changes into the shimmering garment, Cami applies make up to and supplies a headband set with faux cat ears to complete Jen's transformation. Shortly before the party guests arrive, behind the stage curtains, Jen shows off her new appearance, spinning about and announcing, "Ta-da!" The small group of plotting teens are impressed and begin to believe their plan may work after all. Jen agrees, vowing to put on the best Taylor Swift concert ever. A few minutes later, after being strongly reminded exactly which pop singer she is supposed to be, still a bit unsteady walking in high heel boots, Jen steps through the curtains when Cooper introduces Cami's special birthday party guest. The music, Jen had selected earlier begins, and taking a microphone from Cami, the faux pop star greets the crowd with a wave and asks who ready to start the party. Jen then begins singing and dancing to the one song she knows best--the Fast N' Fruity jingle. After the first few verses have subdued the audience, Cami whispers why isn't she singing any Ariana Grande hits, and Jen apologetically admits she doesn't know any of them by heart but insists her franchise's corporate theme is pretty great. However, the performance is cut short as she stumbles into a pillar set on the stage, ironically knocking loose the banner welcoming Ariana Grande. As Delaware helps Jen get to her feet, a member of the audience identifies Jen, by name, as her former babysitter. Jen scans the crowd and recognizes Peyton and notes how much "Pey-Pey" has grown since she last saw her. As Jen holds the pillar for support, Cooper admits to the deception, and takes all the blame for trying to trick them, stating Cami had nothing to do with it. Jen then raises her hand and asks if she can still keep the ten bucks. The guests begin to depart, and Jen makes her way to the floor by using the steps built into the side of the stage. The rest of the Wrathers siblings, Charlotte and Ollie, along with their mother, present Cami's birthday cake, which features a sculpted head of the lead character from the TV show, ***Zombie E.R***. Cami then states as long as she has her family and friends together, her birthday parties may not have been perfect, but they were memorable, Cooper then reasons they don't need Ariana Grande to have an Ariana Grande party. The three elder Wrather siblings then take the stage and begin singing, "*Break Free*." The remaining guests appreciate the performance, and when the Wrathers descend to the audience, everyone, including Jen, Delaware, and Peyton, begins dancing with them, thus saving the event from becoming a complete disaster. Afterwards, Jen joins Delaware and the Wrathers in their home to have cake. As the slices are passed out, Jen begins singing "Happy Birthday," but Cooper cuts her off, stating the moment has passed. Delaware compliments the cake, but Charlotte finds what she things is a sock in her piece. Jen follows everyone else, as they quickly leave the kitchen, deserting the birthday dessert.

Jen was portrayed by **Jami Alix.**

**Paula** was a resident of North Plains that worked as a choreographer for a local dance studio. A few days before Ariana Grande's scheduled concert in North Plains, the pop star's management team contacted Paula, and hired her to find local male back up dancers for the performance. She then announced an open audition with interested candidates to come to her dancing studio to apply. As she sat at a desk organizing paperwork, a blonde teen girl approached, introducing herself as Cami Wrather, asked to audition. Paula had to explain that they were only vetting male dancers. The girl, then claimed her name was actually "Bob" in a lower voice, but Paula only gave her a bemused expression. Cami was in the midst of admitting defeat when she suddenly pointed at something as a diversionary tactic and sprinted towards a nearby door. The embarrassed teen emerged a few seconds later, revealing she had just entered a closet. Paula said a final goodbye to Cami, and then left to prepare for the upcoming auditions. For the next few hours, Paula sat at a table in the dance studio next to a representative of Ariana Grande's team, watching the numerous dace hopefuls show off their dance talents. Two young applicants, Cooper and Fred, insisted on auditioning together. Their routine was clumsy and lacked any semblance of actual professional dancing talent but was surprisingly synchronized. After finishing, they smugly asked when they would meet Ariana. Paula gave the hapless pair an emphatic demand to get out and continued the search for worthy back up dancers.

**Susan** was a resident of North Plains and the manager of Whispery Willow Spa. One afternoon, she cleared her throat to catch the attention of a woman chiding her children in the spa lobby in a loud voice. The woman turned around, and introduced herself as Jenna Wrather, there for a two o'clock appointment. Susan informed her that no talking above a whisper was allowed on the premises. Jenna apologized in a lower tone, but Susan stated in was not low enough. After a second failed attempt to adjust her tone, Susan advised the patron it would be best is she just didn't talk at all, and led the to the changing area where Jenna could change into a robe for her treatments. Susan returned to the front desk, but the constant squabbling of the Wrather children grew disruptive, and she moved to confront them. The teen girl and her younger brother were fighting over possession of a charging cable for electronic items. Susan told them to stop, but the pair would not listen, and eventually their struggle led to the power cord flying across the room and landing in the pool of water under the lobby fountain. Fed up, Susan confiscated the nearby phone and tablet, and informed the kids that she was placing the devices in their mother's treatment room, until she was done with her appointment, and stalked away. After stowing the items away, Susan returned to the lobby in time to witness the Wrather boy sipping water from a counter dispenser in a plastic cup, before spewing the contents into a nearby plant and exclaiming the water had been poisoned. Susan stated it was cucumber water, and the boy exclaimed that people putting vegetables in water were sick. Susan took the cup away and asked the boy to please be quiet. However, barely a minute had passed, before Susan heard the female Wrather's raised voice as the siblings resumed squabbling. Before Susan could reach the disruptive pair, everyone else in the room, including clients, urged the Wrathers to shush. Warning them both if they couldn't keep quiet, Susan threatened to get their mother. The kids promised to behave, and Susan indicated she had heard them by signaling with her clasped hands, before returning to the front desk. Several minutes later, Susan spotted the Wrathers kids emerge from the treatment room where their mother was. Moving swiftly to confront them, she demands to know what they had been doing in there. The boy counters by demanding to know what she had been doing in there, and Susan answers with a dubious look. Certain she had seen them with the electronics she had taken away before, she instructs them to show her what they have behind their backs. The girl then says to run, and Susan fails to catch the brother. Susan blocks the front doors, before the pair can escape, but as she leaps to grab them, she misses and instead ends up in the fountain pool. Rising up drenched, Susan screams that she has had it with the little monsters. Everyone in the lobby shushes her, but a frustrated Susan says to shush themselves, as someone hands her a towel. By this time the Wrather mother has emerged into the lobby, and as Susan drapes the towel over her body, she commands the three Wrathers to leave the spa immediately. Everyone claps as the kids exit, but Jenna lingers to inquire about a free lavender body wash, but Susan screams for her to get out, to which the robed woman swiftly complies to join her children.

**Nils Schloop** was a resident of North Plains, a noted artist famed for his environmental themes. When contacted by the president of the North Plains Day School Enviromental Club, Charlotte Wrather, to gauge his interest in contributing to their fundraising efforts to clean up Lake Myrtle, Nils agreed to donate one of his latest sculpted masterpieces to highlight an art auction to be held later that week at the school. The day of the auction, the artist personally delivered his sculpture to the Wrather home. Wheeling the sculpture on a hand truck to the backyard, he accepted the genuine gratitude of Charlotte Wrather for his generosity. The teen also stated that she found the work to be beautiful, to which Nils smugly replied he already knew. He explains how each individual piece represented a terrible societal injustice. He points out an empty soup can symbolizing world hunger and a toilet paper roll the inability to wipe away hate. Charlotte guesses the decapitated female doll head serving to dare the observer to save the planet, but Nils refutes that, stating it is there for cuteness, and gives it a fond caress with a finger. The teen then suggests moving the sculpture inside the house, but Nils asks if she is mad, out of her mind. He insists his art, like human beings, requires fresh air to breathe. Nils then steeples his fingers together, as he prepares to make his final farewell to the piece, as part of his "*pro*cess." The young woman has the audacity to ask if he meant to say process, but Nils declares that he must never be questioned, as questioning is not part of his *pro*cess. Charlotte then invites him to the charity art auction to be held at her school later that night, so the artist can see for himself how much money his sculpture raises. From that outlandish statement, Nils concludes that Charlotte Wrather must indeed be mad. He carefully explains to the unenlightened teen that he says goodbye to his art once, and once only. When she offers that is part of his *pro*cess, the artist admits when she states it-- it sounds weird. In the final phase of his farewell, Nils removes his sculpture from the handcart, and places it on the ground to reestablish its connection to Mother Earth, and lastly covers it with the tarp he had previously draped over the handcart handles, as he will never see his masterpiece again. Before departing, Nils instructs Charlotte that it must remain undisturbed, until it is time to transport it to her school for the auction that night. When he returned to his abode, Nils relaxed in his gazebo and fell asleep. In a dream, the piece he had just bade farewell returned, and told Nils the funniest story, and then followed that up with the saddest tale. Upon awaking, Nils felt compelled to share the experience with that piece. Thus, disregarding his prior pronouncement, Nils found himself attending the Environmental Club Fundraiser for Lake Myrtle at North Plains Day School. Upon entering the auction venue, he was recognized, by a group of admirers, and granted them a few moments of his time. Shortly thereafter, Nils was greeted by the club president, who expressed surprise at his presence, given his prior stated stance of only allowing a single final farewell to an art piece. Nils then outlines the extraordinary dream he had to Charlotte, and his need to share the details with the sculpture. He then asks where it is, as he must have one last conversation with "her". Charlotte claims, that "she" was napping, but would be happy to deliver a message. Nils then shushes her, as he is certain he hears his sculpture calling out to him. A sarcastic twit standing nearby, attempts to distract Nils with a clearly false voice, but the artist ignores the effort. Scanning the area, Nils spots the familiar hand truck with what appears to be his sculpture, with a red cloth draped over it, and eagerly moves towards his goal. Identifying the partially covered shape as his masterpiece, the artist whips the crimson cloth away with a broad smile over his face. Nils' expression swiftly fades as he discerns his piece has obviously been tampered with, as the cute cherubic female doll head which highlighted his piece has been replaced with the grotesque head of a male dark-haired puppet, and morosely asks what has been done to her in his absence. The same cretin continues to maintain the fake audio illusion that the piece has not been changed, but Nils remains unconvinced, and clutches the red fabric even tighter. Placing the cloth on a nearby table, Nils carefully scrutinizes the sculpture for any further damage. Apologizing profusely, Charlotte Wrather explains that his sculpture had accidentally been mistaken for trash. Nils can only utter "What?" in complete disbelief. The feckless teen who had been impersonating Nils' now desecrated masterpiece, claims that they tried to rebuild the sculpture, but they failed to locate the doll head, and instead had to use whatever substitute they could find. At this point, a shorter dark-haired teen, who suspiciously bore a vague resemblance to the inferior replacement which now literally defaced the work of art, impudently, declares that they had used a far more aesthetically pleasing head. Nils can only look away in disgust. Charlotte acknowledges that the sculpture may no longer be completely as he originally envisioned, she reasons that its sale could still contribute to the Lake Myrtle clean up charity. But Nils cannot stand to have such an abomination besmirch his reputation and announces his intention to immediately withdraw the piece from the auction. However, as he places his hands on the hand truck, determined to wheel the disgraceful object away, an elegant older lady, holding bid placard 42, spies the sculpture, and declares that it is amazing. Nils halts his action, intrigued to discover that even its damaged and diluted form, the message of his art could still be discerned. The woman continues to loudly praise the brilliance of the sculpture, garnering the attention of everyone in the room. She notes the heart and power of the piece, and focuses on the puppet head, claiming that the face is staring into her very soul. Charlotte starts to announce the withdrawal of the piece, but Nils, having noted that everyone in the room was now focused on the sculpture, hijacks the rest of her statement by proclaiming himself as the artist. Accepting the applause, Nils insists that each individual item was placed together by only himself. Apparently not willing to wait for the sculpture to be officially presented for auction, Bidder 42 offers a thousand dollars. As Charlotte thanks the woman, the shorter sculpture saboteur snatches up bidding sign 7 from somewhere and offers two thousand. Although Nils, suspects the bid to fraudulent, the original bidder raises her offer to four thousand, causing the entire room to gasp. Another gasp arises when the impudent youth bids five thousand. Refusing to be deterred, the original bidder moves to confront her opposition face-to-face and makes a bid of ten thousand dollars, eliciting. a final stunned gasp from the audience. Defiantly, the brazen black-haired youth states ''One mill-" before his more sensible friend tackles him to the floor before the ill-advised offer can be uttered. Prudently. Charlotte accepts the winning ten thousand bid. After, the winner raises her sign in victory, Nils kisses her hand in respect, and then joins in the applause acknowledging the winner of his beloved, and now valuable, sculpture.
