Hey, Those Are MY Hair Extentions!!
-----------------------------------
(The four most famous teen divas in the U.S. - Mandy Moore,
Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and Christina Aguilera - have
all agreed to perform together on TRL. To help dispell all
rumors of rivalry, the girls decided to spend the whole day
together and arrive at the MTV building in the same limo. 8am:
Britney arrives at Jessica's hotel to pick her up.)
-Britney
(In her Southern accent)Hi, Jessica!!(they hug)
-Jessica
(In her Southern accent)How are you?
-Britney
Oh, just fine. I love your hair!!
-Jessica
Thanks!! Where'd you get that halter top? It's so cute! (they
spout small talk about shopping, clothes, and Southern living
on the way to Mandy's hotel. When they reach the hotel, Mandy
steps away from the entrance looking absolutely radiant. Brit
and Jess are really jealous of Mandy 'cos she looks better in
her jeans and T-shirt than they do wearing designer clothes. But
theyr'e nice to her anyways. On their way to Christina's
Britney's cell phone rings.)
-Britney
Hello?
-Justin Timberlake
Um, w'sup, Britney.
-Britney
Hi, Justin! (She gets all giggly and silly and talks a mile a
minute.) How are you Oh I miss your kiss so much I hope I can
see you again soon we can get together hey how about later today
whaddaya think?!
-Justin
Yeah, I just wanted to ask you to stop stressin' me. Especially
in the middle of concerts and all.
-Britney
What are you saying?
-Justin
Um ... maybe we should see other people. We were never actually
going out in the first place. You just kinda thought we were.
'Know what I mean?
-Britney
So ... I'll see you at 8pm?
(Justin hangs up in frustration.)
-Britney
Lordy! He is so in love with me.
-Mandy
Oh my God I know exactly what that's like! I was going out with
this guy named T.J. and ...
-Jessica (interrupts, but Mandy doesn't mind 'cos she's so
sweet) So what did he say? What did he say?
-Britney
I swear, Justin is like, so obsessed with me. He blah, blah,
blah, blah ... (she goes on and on. Finally when she's done
Mandy tries to talk again but is totally ignored She decides to
sit quietly in the corner of the limosine singing "I Wanna Be
With You".)
(They reach the hotel Christina's staying in, but Christina's
not outside. Meanwhile, in Christina's room ...)
-Christina
(ordering about her 20-some stylists, make-up artists, and
wardrobe) Hello, people?! I have to be out of here before one of
those those girls releases a #1 song!! But then again, we all
know how long that'll take! (She giggles, and everyone in the
room laughs for fear of being b*tch-slapped by Christina.) I
just can't figure out what to wear!! I have to look prettier
than Britney. I simply have to!
-Wardrobe lady
Here are some outfits I've put together for you. This first one
is a small tank top midriff with tight, tight pants and high
heels to match, oh! and this one is a small tank top midriff
with tight, tight pants with high heels to match, but this one
is my personal favorite: It's a small tank top midriff with
tight, tight pants and high heels to match. What do you think?
-Christina
Well, I know "What A Girl Wants" (entourage titters nervously)
and I know that I DEFINITELY want to wear the small-tank-top-
midriff-with-the-tight-tight-pants-and-the-high-heels-to-match
ensemble!! (She puts the outfit on and a stylists starts in on
her hair.)
-Christina
My hair has to look better than Britney's. I'll DIE if she looks
better than me. Make the extentions longer that oughta do it.
(Back at the limo, the girls are getting antsy after waiting for
30 minutes, so they decide to send Mandy up to fetch Christina.)
-Mandy
(At the check-in counter) Hi I'm Mandy Moore. I'm here to pick
up Christina. Is she still here? (all the bell-hops, who are
young males, stop what they are doing, drop thier suitcases, and
run over to help Mandy 'cos she looks so cute.)
-Bell-hops
Can we assist you in anything?
-Mandy
-Um, yes. Can you tell me which room Christina Aguilera is
staying in? (Bell-hops fall silent at the mention of Christina's
name 'cos they're so afraid of her. One brave bell-hop steps
forward.)
-Brave bell-hop
(He offers Mandy his arm.) This way ma'am.
(They ride the elevator up to the top floor, as the bell-hop
tries not to make an idiot of himself in Mandy's awesome
prescence. They step off the elevator and immediately recognize
Christina's room - it's the one with make-up, beauty items, and
people being thrown out the door along with the high pitched
screaming that stretched 20-some octaves. Christina was just
about ready.)
-Bell-hop
(turns to Mandy) Maybe we should wait a minute or two to let her
cool down.
-Mandy
No, we can't. Britney and Jessica ae outside waiting. (Mandy
grabs the bell-hops arm and they hesitantly walk towards the
hotel room at the end of the hall. They stood outside the door
and listened to the chaos inside. But before they could knock,
a silence came from inside and the door opened and Christina
walked out looking spectacular, but not half as nice as Mandy.
Instead of geting angry, Christina simply told herself she
looked way better.)
-Christina
Hi, Mandy. (giggles and sighs contently.) Let's go. (Christina
walked ahead toward the elevator as Mandy and the bell-hop
exchanged stunned looks before catching up to Christina.)
(In the elevator Christina hangs all over the bell-hop and
flirts with him non-stop. The bell-hop, feeling as though his
life were in danger, laughed at her jokes and tried not to look
her in the eyes. When the elevator reached the lobby, Christina
handed the bell-hop her number and Mandy flashed him a smile and
a thank you.)
-Christina
So (wraps her arm around Mandy, hoping that beautiful glow Mandy
expells would rub off on her) what are we going to do today?
-Mandy
Well, it seems to be Britney's limo, so she'll probably choose
(Mandy, seeing the scowl on Chris' face, added quickly) but
where ever you want to go would be cool too. (Christina seemed
to relax and they walked out side to the limo.)
-Britney
Hi, Christina!! Oh it's been forever since I've talked to you.
(She is angry that Christina looks so good, but hids it well.)
-Christina
I know, same here. (they air-kiss. Mandy, noticing the tension
between Chris and Brit and the fact that they were faking warm
coversation, made herself oblivious to them. She sat in the
corner of the limo again and sung to herself.)
(But the trio ingored Mandy and argued over where to eat, what
movie to see, and where to shop. Finally Mandy said something.)
-Mandy
Um, how about each one of you picks a place to go. Like, one of
you picks where we shop, another picks a movie, and so on.
(All three are silent as they recognize that Mandy is there with them.)
-Christina
Well since YOU seem to know what you're doing, why don't you
pick who does what?
-Mandy
(fully aware that Chris is now officially out to get her) Um,
okay. Brit, you pick the shopping destination, Christina, you
pick the restaurant, and Jesscia gets to pick the movie.
(After a short silence)
-Jessica
Good idea, Mandy! But - where does that leave you?
-Mandy
Well, I did just organize everything, right?
-Christina
Fine we'll do it YOUR way. (She's REALLY p*ssed now, but Brit
and Jess totally respect her little stand of authority.)
-Britney
So Mandy, how's your promotional tour going? (She has no idea
hat Mandy's up to, so she took a wild guess.)
-Mandy
(surprised that Britney knew what she was doing) Um, it's great!
I love meeting the fans, and ...
-Christina
(realizes she's not the focus of attention) Speaking of fans,
did you know that I did a signing at Target and so many fans
came that they had to close the store.
-Brit, Jess, and Mandy
No we hadn't heard ... (Mandy, tired of being interrupted but
too sweet to argue, crept back into her corner, singing while
the other three gabbed about clothes and stuff.)
-Mandy
(in a barely audible whisper) So I'll hold you tonight like I
would if you were mi-ine, to hold ... forever more ...
-Christina
(hearing Mandy sing and becoming jealous, belts out) For the
arms to be my shelter through all the ra-a-ain, For truth that
will never chay-ay-AY-ange ... For someone to LEAN ON!! (Mandy
becomes startled, and remains quiet throughout the rest of the
ride.)
(Across from Christina and Mandy, Brit and Jess are talking
about clothes, shopping, and Southern living again.)
-Jessica
(laughs) Know what Britney? We have so much in common. We're
both involved with hottie guys, we both shop like, so much, and
we both look so much sexier than Mariah.
-Britney
Totally. Did you see her "Heartbreaker" video ...
-Christina
(interrupts yet again)Hey, I have that in common with you guys
too. (Brit and Jess are becoming annoyed that Chris keeps
barging in, but maintain their character. So all three talk
until the ride ends.)
-Britney
Hey, we're here. (By the way, Brit picked Fred Segal's as their
shopping HQ. From there they would flag down a taxi and head to
Wendy's for lunch, then to see some chick flick that Jess picked
out.)
-Mandy
(steps out from limo and literally stops traffic, causing a
giant traffic jam. All four are soon discovered by a herd of
horny male fans coming their way.)
-Christina
Oh my God, you guys ...
-Britney
There are too many of them!!
-Mandy
RUN!!!
(All four rush inside of Fred Segal. From there security will
keep the mob outside. They began shopping. Christina and Britney
shopped together to make sure the other didn't find nicer
clothes. And of course, big-hearted Jessica shopped with Mandy.)
-Mandy
Jess, you love shopping right? Can you help me find a nice dress
to wear on my show "Mandy"?
(Jess agreed to help her, but Mandy didn't know how much Jess
loves kids and soon Jess assumed the role of a mother shopping
at a department store.)
-Jessica
No, sweetheart, you need to wear brighter blouses. That way you
don't seem too shy.
-Mandy
Um, o-kay. How about this? (She pulls a shirt off of the rack)
-Jessica
It's cute, but we need something to compliment your eyes ...
(Before long Mandy looks like a China Doll with ruffles and lace
adourning a pink little dress.) Perfect!! You look adorable!!
(Jess pinches Mandy's cheeks. Mandy is SO embarrassed that she
turns bright pink - pinker than the dress. But of course, she
buys it to make Jessica happy.)
(Now for Britney and Christina. They seemed to always find the
exact same thing. So finally, Britney bought a small little
tube top midriff with tight, tight pants and matching high heels
while Christina decided on a small tube top midriff ... you know how this goes.)
(After everyone had purchased their clothes, the girls left out
the back entrance to avoid the horny guy mob. Then they
attempted to flag a taxi ...)
-Jessica
Okay, so how do we flag a taxi? I come from the South and all so..
-Britney
Well, I can't remember, I haven't been inside a vehicle that
wasn't a limo or Mercedes in forever.
-Christina
I think you have to yell for one.
-Brit
Well, go ahead, Christina.
-Christina
No way!! Ill damage my voice.
-Mandy
That's okay, I'll do it. (Mandy stepped forward and waved her
arm to signal a nearby cab. It came toward them but as it
stopped a business man came up from behind the girls and stole
their taxi.)
-Christina
(yells) Hey!! Do you know who we are?! (the taxi speeds away.)
-Jessica
Wait, there's another one!! (Jess points at the cab and waves,
but as it nears them, it dips into the curb and splashes through
a puddle, totally soaking all four girls before speeding away.)
-Britney
Oh, my word!!
-Christina
Oh, my God!!
-Mandy
Oh, my dress! (Her shopping bag containing the hideous lace and
ruffle dress had fallen into the puddle and had been ruined.
Don't worry, Mandy didn't mind.)
-Jessica
Wait! I have something. (She opened her shopping bag and pulled
out an outfit for each girl, consisting of - you guessed it - a
small tube top midriff with tight, tight pants and matching high
heels. They headed to Wendy's and change in the restrooms before
ordering. Mandy's outfit was a little too tight, but she didn't
mind, as long as it wasn't pink with ruffles and lace. But when
they went back out into the restaurant, they found the mob of
horny guys there eating lunch. They ran back into the restroom.)
-Britney
What are we going to do now?
-Christina
Did you see the one in the KoRn T-shirt? He was kinda cute.
-Jessica
Not to worry, I have sunglasses too.
(They walked back out of the restroom "incognito" and ordered.
It took a while, because not only was Christina flirting with
the guy behind the cash register, but the people in the kitchen
kept staring in Mandy's direction. They grabbed their food and
ate it on the way to the cinema.)
-Mandy
Ya know, this day hasn't been that bad. (she smiled and flowers
began poking through the cracks of the sidewalk.)
-Britney
I was just thinking that, too. Y'all are really nice. Ugh! These
darn sunglasses are so smudged up. (Britney reached up to
remove her sunglasses.)
-Chris, Jess, and Mandy
(in slow motion) NOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... (but it was too late.
Britney took off her sunglasses and out of no where the horny
guy mob appeared and chased the four down the street. Mandy
sprang ahead with her mightly long legs and soon found herself
alone, lost in NYC.)
-Mandy
Oh my God! Christina? Britney?! JESSICA?! WHERE ARE YOU?!!
(Mandy had run into a dark alley way and had lost all trace of
her new-found friends. Kinda sucks, doesn't it? Just when you
think they're all getting along they become seperated. Man, it
can't get any worse from here ...)
-Mandy
Could you stop that, please? You're really freaking me out.
(Sorry, Mandy.)
-Mandy
It's okay. (Flashes that million dollar smile and starts conteplating her next move.)
-Mandy
I've got to find them. They need my help! How will I be able to
find them?
(A loud noise arose and broke Mandy's concentration. It was the
herd of horny males! They held Mandy's friends above their
heads and chanted)
-Mob
We've got Britney!! We've got Christina!! We've got Mandy - er,
Jessica!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
(Mandy crouched behind a trash can in the alley so as not to be
discovered. The males past right by her alley.)
(She followed the mob outside of NYC to a secluded old
fraternity house. There they held the girls captive, because -
luck will have it - an episode of Baywatch came on TV. You
know, one of the older episodes with Pamela Anderson Lee. This
gave Mandy time to hatch up a plan. Mean while, the girls had
nearly lost all hope.)
-Christina
Where the h*ll is Mandy. That little ...
-Britney
Hey, don't you blame be blaming Mandy for not coming to rescue
us.
-Christina
Who should we be blaming then?!
-Britney
Maybe it's our own fault. Maybe we've created such a buzz with
our sexuality in the media at such a young age, that we never
realized how much we were affecting simple-minded idiots like
these guys here. Maybe - just maybe - we have become so self-
assured that we never thought a situation like this would come
to pass.
(they pause to reflect)
-Brit and Chris
Nah.
(Let's get back to Mandy. She had run to a NYC library - let's
face it, those legs are good for SOMETHING - and found the
blueprints for the old fraternity. She found that the frat house
was established so long ago that it had an old fashioned
manhole in the basement where her friends were held captive.
That manhole led from the fraternity through an old abandoned
subway tunnel to a manhole right beneath the Times Square
Studios. Mandy looked at her watch. The Mickey Mouse hands on
the watch face indicated that it was 2:00pm. TRL would start in
half an hour. If she could rescue her friends with out alerting
the frat boys, and guide the three through the tunnel up to
1515 Broadway, they might be saved AND make it in time to perform!!)
-Mandy
I've got no time to lose!! (She ran out of the library with a
mission.)
(Back to Brit, Jess, and Christina. At this point, Brit and Chris are crying and carrying on.)
-Britney
(sobs) Christina, I'm so sorry I didn't get you anything for
your 13th birthday!! (sobs)
-Christina
(sobs) I'm sorry that I won the Grammy and you didn't. (sobs,
sniff, sniff) In fact, I have it right here in my pocket. (She
manuevers her hand through the ropes holding her hostage and
pulls a Grammy out of her pocket.)
-Britney
(sobs) No, you keep it you EARNED it!!
-Christina
(sobs) That's good. I knida wanted to keep it anyway. (sobs and
put Grammy back in pocket.) I love you, Britney!
-Britney
I love you, too, Christina!! (sobs) I love you Jessica!!
Jessica? Jessica?! Hello? (she stomps on Jesscia's foot)
-Jessica
Ow! Sorry I didn't hear you.
-Christina
What are you doing.
-Jessica
Praying to God for a miracle. Pray with me you guys!!
-Britney
What prayer should we do?
-Christina
Dear God, make me into a bird, so I can fly far, far ...
-Jessica
I was thinking more along the lines of the Lord's prayer.
(They all pray.)
-Britney
This will never work!!
-Christina
Why would He help us?!
-Jessica 'cos we always thank Him in our CD Booklets and during
award shows.
-Brit and Chris
OH! (They pray some more.)
-Jessica
Thy kingdom come, Thy will ... oh, who am I kidding?! No one
will ever save us!! (Just then, an angel floated down from the
raftors)
-Britney
It's a miracle!! An angel has come to deliver us!!
-Mandy
Um, guys, it's just me. (Mandy lowered herself from the ceiling.
They had mistaken her beauty for divine light.)
-Britney
Oh, Lordy, it's you, Mandy!! We knew you'd come!
-Mandy
(setting her feet on the ground.) SHHHH!! Do you want those guys
to hear you?! (She unties their bonds and they begin to sneak
away. Just then one of the guys burst through the door.)
-Guy
Hey, where do you think you're ... (Mandy then kicked him in the
nuts. Christina ran over and beat him with her Grammy.)
-Christina
(sings) I'm a genie in a bottle, baby ... gotta smack you the
right way, a**hole! (When the guy was knocked unconscience, they
tied him up and escaped through the manhole.)
-Jessica
We're free!! We love you so much Mandy. (They all praise her and
give her hugs.)
-Mandy
Wait! What time is it?! (She glanced at her watch.) 2:30pm. We
gotta hurry!! (She runs, but slower so the others can keep up.)
-Britney
Where are we going?
-Mandy
If we really hurry, we can still make it in time for TRL!!
-Christina
I had almost forgotten!!
-Britney
Can't we just go back to our hotel rooms instead? I'm so tired.
I just wanna take a bath, light some candles ...
-Jessica
Our fans need us!! Let's go!!
(Meanwhile, in the MTV studios ...)
-MTV Producer
Where the H*LL are they?! They should have been here an hour
ago!! We go live in 25 minutes!!!
-Intern
Calm down. If they're not here when the show starts, we can just
call up Vitamin C, Hoku, Angelia Via, and that Ashlea Ballard
girl to come help us out.
-MTV Producer
Are you KIDDING?! Those people out there wil RIP US APART if we
don't give them their d*mn divas!! (He points to the crowd in
Times Square and procedes to pull his hair out.)
(Back to the subway tunnel.)
-Christina
(Whines) Can we stop for a second? My feet are KILLING me!
-Mandy
We can't stop!
-Christina
Can't we just rest for a minute? It's like, 98 DEGREES in here!!
-Jessica
(Has an epiphany)OH MY GOODNESS!! Britney give me your cell
phone! (She dials.) Hello? Nick?! It's me, Jess ... the girls
and I need your help ... No, I don't know where we are.
-Mandy
Here. This is the subway blueprint.
-Jessica
We're right below (names some New York City street.) Meet us at
the (Names off the corner of two intersecting streets.) in 20
minutes. Okay, I love you, too, baby. (Hangs up) Alright we need
to get here (points at position on map) fast! (They run. 15
minutes later at the MTV studios ...)
-Carson Daly
What do you mean, they're not here yet?! I have to go on in a
few minutes.
-MTV Producer
We have no idea where they are. DEAR GOD, WE'RE SCREWED!!
(Tears the remaining hair out of his head.)
-Intern
(Sighs) I'll go call Vitamin C and the rest of them.
(Back in the subway tunnel.)
-Mandy
Here we are.
-Christina
Where? Where's the manhole?!
-Mandy
It should be around here somewhere ...
-Britney
Up there!! (She points up. Some 20 feet above them was the
manhole they needed to escape.)
-Jessica
We'll never be able to reach it!!
-Britney
What are we going to do?! Somebody think!!
-Christina
We'll never get out of here!! We're all gonna die and nobody
will know!! AHHHHH!!! (Mandy slaps her.)
-Mandy
For God's sake, keep it together, Christina.
-Christina
Alright. Okay. Thanks Mandy I really needed that.
-Brit, Jess, and Mandy
We know.
-Britney
We better think of something soon. My hair extentions are
getting stringy.
-Mandy
Hair extentions? Of course!! Everyone give me your hair
extentions!! (They tear out their hair extentions, all but
Christina.)
-Christina
No, anything but that ... (Mandy yanks them out.)
-Christina
Hey, those are MY hair extentions!! (Mandy ties them all
together and forms a strong rope. She swings it up to the
manhole and it catches on a hook.)
-Jessica
That's it, Mandy!! You got it!
-Mandy
Come on, guys!! (They climb up the manhole and push it open. A
few feet away, Nick stood beside his Jeep.)
-Nick
Jessica!!
-Jessica
Nick!! (They run to each other in slow motion. They embrace and
totally make out. The girls watch in disgust.)
-Britney
Okay, that's nasty. (She prys the two apart.)
-Nick
Come on you guys!! You're gonna be late.
(They get in the car and it takes off. Back at MTV.)
-MTV Producer
(Delirious) I .. I just wanted to .. get better ratings ... I, I ..
-Intern
Settle down. The back-up pop stars are here.
-MTV Producer
It'll never work. They eat us alive out there. Where's my tie?
-Intern
Why?
-MTV Producer
I think I'll hang myself with it. (2nd intern walks in.)
-2nd Intern
We're ready to start. Carson's going on now. (Carson in studio.)
-Carson
(gives his opening speech. The crowd dies down.) Ladies and
gentlemen, I am sorry to have to tell you this ...
-Teeny-bopper
I love you, Carson! (Shreiks)
-Carson
Thanks. I'm sorry to say this, but Britney, Jessica, Christina, and Mandy ...
-Mandy, Brit, Jess and Chris
Are here!! (they run on stage, and break into "We Are Family".
They recieve a standing ovation, and the audiece goes crazy.
Which, by the way, is the perfect ending to my story.)
THE END
