Trials And Tribulations(Transcript)

The main 8 had just dispatched James, Tristan, Luke, Calum, Michael and Ashton into the forest to see if any of the expelled students are there.

Reece: Okay, we've just dispatched James, Tristan, Luke, Calum, Michael and Ashton into Saltwells Local Nature Reserve and they said that there are no expelled students.

Blake: Now what?

Reece: We're going to send them home, a chartered bus will get there.

Then Reece's phone started ringing. He answered it and it's from James.

Reece: Hello?

James: Reece, something's wrong.

Reece: What is it?

James: The bus broke down and Tristan and the bus driver are trying to fix it.

Reece: What?

James: Yeah, and we're trying to fix it.

Reece: Hold on, we'll try to find a diagram to fix the bus while you lot go find your way back to Georgetown. I sent it to Luke's tablet.

James: Thanks for the help Reece.

In the forest, James and Tristan went up to their friends to find out where they are.

Luke: So Reece just sent us a map.

Tristan: What are those pictures there?

Luke: Those are landmarks, like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge in Sydney.

James: Or the Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Underground train station in London. So we're in a forest in the West Midlands.

Luke: These landmarks can help tell us where we are. So the first landmark we need to find is the polka-dotted mailbox.

Michael: I can see it in front of us.

Luke: Good, now we need to find a striped bench.

Tristan: It's behind us.

Luke: So we're currently in between the striped bench and the polka dotted-mailbox. So we need to go straight in order to go back to Georgetown. Let's go.

Meanwhile, Reece and Blake are trying to fix the bus from the computer.

Blake: Great, how can we tell which battery should go?

Reece: We can't do this alone.

Brad: Maybe we can help.

Reece: Just kept forgetting which one is left and which one is right.

Connor: Try the L trick, the L always stands for left. That's where you write, Blake. While rest of us write the opposite of Blake, the right.

Reece: Right so the manual said that the small battery should be on the left. The L stands for 'left' so it must be that way.

Shawn: Good.

Shawn inserted the battery and then asked Reece or Blake what's next.

Shawn: What's next?

Blake: The medium sized battery should be beside the small battery. At the right, when I do the L trick, I write on the L side so that is left but I don't write on the opposite of the L so this is right. Let's put it there.

Blake placed the medium sized battery next to the small battery.

Song: My Year from Zombies

Zoe: #I'm fired up! #Tryouts today, I'm going to blow ‘em away, yeah #Dad says I can't go wrong, no, as long as I keep this on, oh #Seabrook's been the best, like, forever #Mum's counting on me, no pressure #Cheer's in my family genes, come on, let's do this thing#

George: #Now, what up, everybody? #Let me set the scene, fresh new start for your boy, Young Z #You saw Pops, for a dad, he's cool #He's just a little stressed about my first day of school #They say, "be careful, those humans can be mean" #But I'm still going out for the football team #This might look rough, but it's home sweet home #Just a little bit of dust and a little bit of mould #But it ain't so bad on this side of tracks #We make it work with a little bit of swag#

Zoe: #On this side, we can all keep winning #If we just try to fit in #Watch it come together, be the best one ever #Because it's my time #This is going to be my year#

All: #Been waiting for this moment #Yeah, I'm gonna own it #You can watch me shine #This is gonna be my year #My year, my year, my, my, my year #My year, my year, my year, my year#

Connor: #Now let me introduce you to my friend Eliza#

Zoe: #We'll never be accepted, zombies need to rise up #Fight the good fight, stand for whats right #We get the worst jobs and a curfew at night #They make us wear uniforms that all look the same #Why's it just us being treated this way? #I say we stick it to their institution #You want justice? We need a revolution!#

Reece: #Yeah, you got a point, but today's an improvement #'Cause baby steps is still movement #Hey, Bonzo, come and spit a verse#

Blake: #A zig zagg gwag gwad ziggy got gon #Ziggity got goat zag ziggy got zong#

Zoe: #He just dropped that in zombie!

Reece: #Yeah, all he said is he's hungry#

Zoe: #My cuz, Bucky's the man #Look at how perfect he lands #Our very own cheer rock star#

Brad: #No more autographs, please, stay where you are #Another year and I only get better #Another cheer, another varsity letter#

Zoe: #This year, we just can't lose#

Brad: #Well, I'm gonna win, you all can come too#

All: #My year, my year, my year, my year #Watch it come together, be the best one ever #Because it's my time #This is gonna be my year #Been waiting for this moment #Yeah, I'm gonna own it #You can watch me shine #This is gonna be my year #My year, my year, my year, my year #My, my, my, year #My year my year #This is gonna be my year#

Meanwhile, James, Tristan, Luke, Calum, Michael and Ashton were walking and talking to each other when Luke and Michael entered the slow-motion part of the forest.

James: What?

Tristan: They are going slow mo.

Calum: Must be the slow motion section of the forest.

James: Let's get them in 3 2...

They pulled Luke and Michael out of the slow-motion part of the forest.

Luke: Guys, what happened?

Calum: You must've entered the slow-motion part of the forest.

Tristan: I gotta call Reece.

Tristan got out his phone and dialled Reece's number. He soon picked up.

Reece: Hello?

Tristan: Hey Reece, we've just entered the slow-motion bit of the forest.

Reece: Really? The forest you're in is dangerous, you really need to get back to Georgetown before sundown. Also it would take approximately 700 years to get to the other side of the slow-motion bit. There is a fork of the road on your left side. You can get there and then you can get to Georgetown.

Tristan: Right.

Reece: Good luck, school's almost over.

Tristan: See you Reece.

Tristan hung up.

Tristan: Let's go.

Song: Lost In The Woods by Weezer

James: #Again, you're gone, off on a different path than mine #I'm left behind, wondering if I should follow #You had to go, and of course it's always fine #I probably could catch up with you tomorrow #But is this what it feels like to be growing apart? #When did I become the one who's always chasing your heart?#

Tristan: #Now I turn around and find I am lost in the woods #North is south, right is left, when you're gone #I'm the one who sees you home, but now I'm lost in the woods #And I don't know what path you are on #I'm lost in the woods#

Luke: #Up 'til now the next step was a question of how #I never thought it was a question of whether #Who am I, if I'm not your guy? #Where am I, if we're not together forever?#

Calum: #Now I know you're my true north, 'cause I am lost in the woods #Up is down, day is night, when you're not there #Oh, you're my only landmark, so I'm lost in the woods #Wondering if you still care

Michael: #But I'll wait for a sign that I'm on your path #'Cause you are mine #Until then, I'm lost in the woods #I'm lost in the woods#

All: #I'm lost in the woods#

Meanwhile, the rest of the choir were still in the choir room. It is almost sundown.

George: Guys, it's almost sundown.

Reece: What? We have to check on them.

Blake: Where are they now?

Reece: They've just went pass the rock statue and they must be heading towards a bridge, with a desk?

Meanwhile in the forest, James, Tristan, Luke, Calum, Michael and Ashton have just passed the statue and then spot the bridge they were looking for.

Calum: The bridge is there.

Luke: Hold up, what is a desk doing there?

James: Don't mind it, I desperately wanted to go back to Georgetown.

Tristan: Me too.

Calum: Guys, it's the school, we made it.

Ashton: Really?

Calum: Uh huh.

James, Tristan, Luke, Calum, Michael and Ashton finally made it to Georgetown. They went to the school and into the choir classroom.

Reece: Guys, you're back.

James: I know.

Connor: How long did it take to get there?

Calum: A few hours at least, just before sundown.

Zoe: Before sundown? Good job.

Blake: And we decided to sing a song once you come back. Hit it!

Song: Take Me To Church by Hozier

Blake: #My lover's got humour #She's the giggle at a funeral #Knows everybody's disapproval #I should've worshipped her sooner #If the heavens ever did speak #She's the last true mouthpiece #Every Sunday's getting more bleak #A fresh poison each week #We were born sick #You heard them say it #My church offers no absolutes #She tells me "Worship in the bedroom" #The only heaven I'll be sent to #Is when I'm alone with you#

Reece: #I was born sick #But I love it #Command me to be well#

Harvey: #Aay, amen, amen, amen#

All: #Take me to church #I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies #I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife #Offer me that deathless death #Good God, let me give you my life #Take me to church #I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies #I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife #Offer me that deathless death #Good God, let me give you my life#

Shawn: #If I'm a pagan of the good times #My lover's the sunlight #To keep the goddess on my side #She demands a sacrifice#

Connor: #Drain the whole sea #Get something shiny#

Zoe: #Something meaty for the main course#

Robert: #That's a fine looking high horse#

Zoe: #What you got in the stable?#

Luke: #We've a lot of starving faithful#

James: #That looks tasty #That looks plenty #This is hungry work#

All: #Take me to church #I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies #I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife #Offer me my deathless death #Good God, let me give you my life #Take me to church #I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies #I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife #Offer me my deathless death #Good God, let me give you my life#

Tristan: #No masters or kings #When the ritual begins #There is no sweeter innocence #Than our gentle sin#

Calum: #In the madness and soil of #That sad earthly scene #Only then I am human #Only then I am clean#

George: #Oh, oh #Amen, amen, amen#

All: #Take me to church #I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies #I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife #Offer me that deathless death #Good god, let me give you my life #Take me to church #I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies #I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife #Offer me that deathless death #Good god, let me give you my life #Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh#

Reece: I'm glad you guys are back.

James: Yeah.

Blake: Yeah.

Harvey: How long have they been together?

Zoe: They've been together for about 9 years, since they were 8. Blake would bring them home at times and that's how I know them.

Brad: Then how come you were acting oblivious around them if you know them?

Zoe: I was shy and I haven't seen them for a long time.

George: I would relate to that.

Zoe: Me too.

George: Secret hand shake?

Zoe and George did a secret handshake.

Shawn: Didn't know they have a secret handshake, since they started bonding.

Brad: What? Even I did secret handshakes to Troy and Connor.

Connor: And Blake did it to Reece.

George: Kinda glad everyone is getting along here.

Zoe: Yeah.

Everyone: (laughs)
