(Theme Song)
(Scene: In the theater. Miss Moss is sitting on a chair in the rows of the seats.)
Miss Moss: And...action.
(The curtain opens revealing Bubbles as a candy apple on the top step, Buttercup as a T-bone steak and a random boy as purple jelly on the second step, a random girl as a fish on the third step, a random boy as vanilla ice cream on a cone, Robin Snyder as a milk carton, a random boy as cheese on the fourth step, a random boy as bread, another being spaghetti and meatballs on the fifth step, and on the sixth, the last step, two random boys as a banana and a carrot, Blossom as broccoli, Jared as a tomato, and Barry as chicken noodle soup.)
Bubbles, Buttercup, Random Boy, Random Girl, Another Random Boy, Robin Snyder, Another Random Boy, Two Random Boys, Blossom, Jared, and Barry: (Singing badly) We are the five food groups, from fruits and veggies to (Barry spins around too fast) chicken noodle soup.
Miss Moss: Spin faster, Barry! You're giving me minestrone! I want chicken noodle!
Blossom: Look at me, I am broccoli. (Buttercup jumps onto the stage floor pushing her out of the way)
Buttercup: I'm a T-bone!
Miss Moss: Buttercup, you're supposed to come from stage left, not stage right!
Buttercup: Where?
Miss Moss: Just forget it. (Dramatically) Cut to the end! Bubbles, save us! Spotlight! (Bubbles comes out on a stage platform swing as music plays)
Bubbles: (From stage platform swing) At the end of your meal should you want something sweet like a nice candy apple or some tasty treat, they're fun on a stick, a delight in a bowl, but treats are the best when they're part of a, um, when they're part of a... (blushes) steak?
Buttercup: (Deep voice) Hehe! T-bone!
Miss Moss: (Dramatically) Noooooo! Cut, cut! (Walks to the stage) That is it! Gather around, everyone. (Dramatically) Why, why must I work with such children? (The children look at each other as Bubbles looks down) Is it too much to ask for for professionalism in bringing my play to life? (Turns serious) And now, the stakes have changed.
Buttercup: (Gasps) I'm getting replaced?
Miss Moss: (Pointing at a paper on a chair) Do you know who that chair is reserved for? (Takes out a magnifying glass making the paper big enough for the children to see) Belle Lakes! (Takes out a flyer of the woman showing it to the children) The famed producer of Citysville's celebrated plays! (Dramatically) And low and behold, Miss Lakes has caught wind of our production and is coming to Opening Night tonight! (Stops) This play now means everything to me. (As Robin wipes her nose with her finger) We could take this baby on tour if we impress Miss Lakes. But that'll only happen if you bring me the drama. (Creepy and serious looking at Bubbles) And...don't...forget...your...lines.
Bubbles: (Frightened) OK.
Miss Moss: Now are you ready (Full of excitement) to put on the best play in human history?
Children: (Really excited) YEAH!
Miss Moss: (More excitement) Are you ready to be stars?
Children: (More excited) YEAH!
(Midway Elementary School exterior and inside, in the theater, the children on stage)
Random Girl (as a strawberry), Random Boy (as cheese), Random Boy (as a banana), Buttercup (as a T-bone steak) on the left, Jared (as a tomato in the center), and Robin (as a milk carton), Blossom (as broccoli), and Two Boys (as a carrot and piece of bread): (Singing more badly) He's a tomato, to bring him as fruit, to him as veggies (a boy as a piece of bread jumps around as spinning) and veggies, too. (He falls on his back)
Miss Moss: Oh. They are not ready to be stars. Hmm. Maybe Miss Lakes won't notice. (Looks from behind the curtain)
Blossom: Decide. (Belle Lakes yawns tiredly, bored as the Professor looks up from behind her and takes a picture with a blue tablet.)
Miss Moss: (Turns back behind the curtain, frustrated) Oh! Why did I deem myself up to be so disappointed?
Bubbles: (Walks up to Miss Moss) Um, Miss Moss? About my lines. I'm still having a problem with...
Miss Moss: We all have problems, Bubbles. (Faceplants on the stage)
Bubbles: Right. But... I just... I think if you just help me...
Miss Moss: (Lifts her head up) Help? Help? (Laughs crazily) In case you didn't notice, that was a fake laugh, because there's no help for us now. Unless I do something fast, this play is going to bomb! (Gasps) Bomb. (Memory flashback in a graduation hat and gown)
Man In A Blue Long Sleeved Robe: Congratulations, young Miss Moss. You are now a master thespian.
Men In Blue Long Sleeved Robes: (Lifts their arms up in bored excitement) Yay.
Man In A Blue Long Sleeved Robe: And in fine ounce of drama, we arm you with this (grabs a bomb out that says "DRAMA" on it) drama bomb. (Miss Moss looks at it in awe) With this gift, you can increase the drama levels tenfold. Remember, you must only use this drama bomb in a time of true desperation (Echoes).
(Back to reality as Miss Moss looks at the bomb in a case that says "IN CASE OF LACK OF TALENT" and looks back at the children.)
Bubbles: (As Barry spins too fast) Um, Miss Moss... If you could just help me.
Buttercup: (As Barry hits her from his spinning) Whoa!
Miss Moss: Oh, my word! (Breaks the case's glass with a hammer) (From o.c.) We will now take a brief intermission. (The curtain closes) Children, come together please. (They all walk in) Barry, get in here! (Barry walks in accidentally knocking Robin over on the stage) Drama bomb! (Throws the bomb at them on the stage as they all gasp, a pink magical explosion covering them and Buttercup and Blossom cough as it disappears.)
Buttercup: What was that?
Blossom: I don't know. It's...
Blossom and Buttercup: (Dramatically) Magical. (Confused) What the...? (Miss Moss comes in holding them both)
Miss Moss: Yes. Now my stars, (Close-up on her face) places. (The curtain opens theatrically)
Blossom, Buttercup, Jared, Barry, and Robin: Veggie, meat, fruits, grains, dairy. Veggie, meat, grains, dairy. We are the food groups, we are put inside your tummy-tum. We are so yummy, we are the food groups. And if you eat us, you'll grow as nice and strong. Yeah, all day long. We are the veggies, we are the meat. Yum! We are the dairy. (Belle Lakes wakes up and gasps in awe as they continue and the Professor's head comes in sideways taking a picture.)
Miss Moss: Yes, yes, it's working. There's the drama.
Blossom, Buttercup, Jared, Barry, and Robin: No substitutes.
(The crowd cheers as the curtain closes)
Blossom: (Dramatically) That was hard. What curse has befallen us? Everything we do is filled with drama.
Miss Moss: (Walks in) Oh, my stars! That was terrific!
Buttercup: (Dramatically) You. (Zips onto her holding her by the scarf) What did you do to us?
Miss Moss: (Little nervous and drops it) Yes, uh... I may have launched something to spice up the drama parts of it.
Blossom: (Gasps dramatically) How dare thee. (The Powerpuff Hotline rings and she picks up) Greetings, sir Mayor. What evil, prestigious you?
Mayor: (In split screen) Blossom, Mojo Jojo is at it again. (As Mojo Jojo is in a giant robot taking the Town Hall's capitol dome) Now he's stealing the dome from the top of Town Hall.
Mojo Jojo: (Laughs evilly) This is truly one of Mojo's most imperious deeds. (Laughs evilly as his robot walks away)
(At Midway Elementary School in the theater on the stage behind the curtain)
Mayor: (Voice, screaming, on the phone) We're doomed. I mean, doomed. (call ends)
Blossom: (Dramatically) Shakespeare's ghost. (Throwing the Hotline aside) Buttercup, pray thee, we must depart at once. My sister of spice.
Buttercup: (Dramatically; jumps in) Yeah. But we get Bubbles. (Bubbles cries)
Blossom: (Dramatically; walks up to Bubbles from under her) Bubbles, sweet Bubbles, why do you cry so?
Bubbles: (Dramatically) You don't understand, you'll never understand. Okay, fine, I'll tell you. I cannot simply remember my lines for this cursed play. And now I'm paralyzed, paralyzed with stage fright.
Buttercup: (Dramatically) We must stop Mojo Jojo. Stop being such a drama queen.
Blossom: (Dramatically) We will fight instead. Let us away, Buttercup! (She and Buttercup try to zip away but can't due to the magic of the drama bomb on them) What? We simply cannot leave.
Buttercup: (Dramatically) But why? WHYYYYYYYYYYY?!
Miss Moss: (Walks in) Because the drama bomb's effect will not cease until the show is done. As the saying goes, the show must go on!
Blossom: That means in order for us to save Townsville, (Bubbles is shown) Bubbles must remember her lines.
Mojo Jojo: (On the dome which covers his lair laughing evilly for a long time and stops tired from it) Whoa. Mojo does not usually get through an entire evil laugh before the Powerpuff Girls show up to manage to get here. (Looks to the right and back) Maybe if Mojo laughs louder. (Laughs for a extended long time robbing a bank and diamond store, and a hair salon, an exception, and stops awkwardly) Oh, come on, man, don't you just be rude. What could be so more vital from keeping the Powerpuff Girls from fighting me?
(Back at the theater on the stage)
Blossom: (Dramatically) Nothing is more vital than the decision of your title.
Jared: (Dramatically) Who am I? (Belle Lakes wells up with tears smiling as the Professor takes a picture)
Mss Moss: (With a big smile, excited) Citysville, here we come!
Blossom: (Dramatically) We cannot keep this up for long. (Tries to get out as well as Buttercup but only land on the stage) Our Townsville shall be the stolen away by Mojo the Jojo.
Buttercup: (Dramatically) This will only end if Bubbles delivers her final lines. (To Bubbles) Come on, Bubbles. This drama is the disease and you're the cure.
Bubbles: (Dramatically) No, I can't. Don't you see? I can never remember those cursed lines. I ask Miss Moss for help and she said no. What, am I supposed to show that I'm on my own?
Blossom: (Dramatically) Nay. You're not on your own, dear sister! We are here for thee. We'll always believe in you.
Buttercup: (Dramatically) Yes. If we must, we will continue through this play 'til we're goners!
Blossom and Buttercup: (Dramatically) We will do it...together!
Bubbles: (Dramatically) Not on my own? Yes, like a candy apple. Sweet, delicious indeed. But together on this own. Oh, how lucky is this gal to have a broccoli and steak? For without them, I am not full. (Close-up on her) Full. Full. (Voice) Spotlight! (From stage platform swing) At the end of your meal should you want something sweet, a nice candy apple or some tasty treat, they're fun on a stick, a delight in a bowl, but treats are the best. (With her sisters on the stage and the other children on the steps) When they're part of a whole, part of a whole. (Confetti explode out of the stage as the crowd, as well as Belle Lakes, cheers as the curtain closes and the drama bomb's effect wears off.)
Blossom: Bubbles, you did it! The spell is broken!
Buttercup: Yeah, way to nail those lines, Bubbs!
Bubbles: Thanks, guys.
Miss Moss: (Laughs excited and crazy as the three girls zip over to her)
Blossom: I hope you learned your lesson, Miss Moss.
Miss Moss: Yes, girls, I did. I'm gonna use a drama bomb for every production from now on! That was spectacular! I was spectacular! (Rolls backwards excited and crazy)
Blossom: (Sighs) Come on. We got to stop Mojo.
(The three girls zip into the hair salon)
Mojo Jojo: (Sighs) (To the security guard) Yeah, so, you know the drill. (The Powerpuff Girls appear, blasting a giant hole in the salon)
Blossom: Stop right there, Mojo Jojo!
Mojo Jojo: (Happy) Where were you? I missed you. (Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles punch him on the floor) OK, uh, starting not to miss you anymore.
Bubbles: (Little dramatic) And scene.
(Episode ends)
