(Walking to school.)
Alyssa (walking towards Maggie): Hey, Maggie.
Maggie: Hey Alyssa.
Alyssa: OMG! I just remembered that they’re having a major sale on high heels in a couple of days!
Maggie (under her breath): Oh, high heels? Of course. . . .
Alyssa: Did you say something?
Maggie (smiling and walking farther from her): No!
Alyssa: There’s something up with her today….
(In school hallway.)
Alyssa: I’m telling you there is something up with her. I tried talking to her in Biology but she wouldn’t talk to me. I asked her if she was mad at me, and she said no. It’s just like she’s not the same ever since I told her about the high heels shoe sale.
Max: Maybe she doesn’t like high heels?
Mini: Yeah, maybe Max is right?
Alyssa (taking a deep breath): Nooooo! No, no, stop saying that! Oh!
Alexa: You never know, Alyssa.
(Max, Mini, and Alexa walk off.)
Alyssa (putting her hands over her eyes not knowing what to do): No, that can’t be it. Maybe it is, I don’t know.
(Maggie enters. Alyssa still has her hands over her eyes.)
Maggie: Hi, Alyssa!
Alyssa: AH! You scared me!
Maggie: Oh, sorry.
Alyssa: Hey, you haven’t been the same ever since I told you about the shoe sale on high heels. And Max said that maybe you don’t like high heels anymore. I know that can’t be possible, right?
Maggie: Uh, of course not! BYE!
(Maggie runs off.)
Alyssa: Now there is DEFINITELY something wrong with her today!
(The scene changes to Alyssa’s house. Alyssa walks in to her dad and mom’s room and her dad is watching TV on the bed.)
Alyssa: Hey dad, Maggie was really different today.
Dad: Why?
Alyssa: Well, I’m not really sure but it started ever since I told her about the high heels sale that’s in an hour.
Dad: Maybe she doesn’t like high heels.
Alyssa: WHY DOES EVERYBODY KEEP SAYING THAT?! Max, Mini and Alexa said that and now my dad. Uuuugggghhhh!
Dad: Maybe they’re right.
(The doorbell rings.)
Alyssa: I’ll get it!
(Alyssa opens the door.)
Alyssa: Hey, Maggie, come in.
(They go and sit on the couch.)
Alyssa: I need to ask you a question.
Maggie: Sure, anything. What is it Alyssa? Wait, I think I know. Are you gonna’ ask why I have been so strange today. It’s because. . . .
Alyssa: What is it?
Maggie (NOT telling the truth): Jjuuusstt because. . . .I was in one of my moods.
Alyssa: Well, ok!
(Maggie hangs out a little at her house. After, Alyssa goes on a three way phone call with Max, Alexa, and Mini.)
Max: Soooo, what happened with you guys?
Alyssa: She said that she was in one of her “moods.”
Mini: Do you believe her?
Alyssa: I don’t know, should I?
Alexa: Well, it’s up to you.
Alyssa: What do you think guys?
Mini: Yup, I agree, it’s up to you.
Alyssa: Max? You got any advice?
Max: Nope, sorry. I agree with Alexa and Mini too.
Alyssa: Wait, I’m getting another call. It’s Maggie! What do I do?-
Mini: Just speak to her!
Alyssa: But what if. . . ?
Max, Mini, and Alexa at the same time: GO!
Alyssa: Fine, fine, bye!
Max, Mini, and Alexa at the same time: Bye!
Max: You think she’s gonna’ make it?
Alexa: Not at all.
Mini: Same.
(They all get off the phone. Alyssa and Maggie are on the phone)
Alyssa: Hey, Maggie.
Maggie: Hey, Alyssa. I was wondering if you were free on Friday. Maybe we can have one of our sleepovers!
Alyssa: Friday, Friday, uh, yeah I think I’m free.
Maggie: Your house, 6:00?
Alyssa: Awesome!
Maggie: K
Maggie: Bye!
Alyssa: Bye!
(Next day, two days before the sleepover, Alyssa passes Maggie in the hallway. Maggie is talking to Mini, Max and Alexa. Alyssa realizes she is wearing shoes instead of high heals. Alyssa wipes her eyes thinking she’s seeing wrong. When she takes her hand off of her eyes she sees she wasn’t mistaken. Alyssa just shrugs and walks off.)
(Day of the sleepover. Scene changes to Alyssa’s concert. Maggie and Alyssa are together, arms locked with each other. Max, Mini, Alexa and six girls are behind them.)
Maggie: Good luck.
(They hug each other.)

One of the six girls: I just love that song!!
Maggie: I know, right!?
(Mom enters Alyssa’s room.)
Mom: Girls, was that you making all that sound?
Alyssa: Oh, sorry, mom, we’ll try to keep it down.
(Mom exits.)
Maggie: I have a little surprise for you.
(Maggie pulls out a best friend necklace and the heart is broken so they both have one. Then they hug!)
Alyssa:
I’ve been in a rut
Back and forth enough
Heart like the wheel
Without you around
So uncomfortable is how it feels
Every time you’re near
Trouble disappears
Under the ground
But when you go too far
Silver clouds will start hanging around
And I know why
Try to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can’t jump the track
Can’t let you go
Tried to once
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
Skippin' down a broken path
How long can I last?
Please let me know
Where’s the finish line
‘Cause I’ve got to find somewhere to go
I don’t want to hear
These people interfere
What do they know?
What I feel inside
When I’m up all night
Needing you oh…
I don’t know why
Tried to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can’t jump the track
Can’t let you go
Tried to once
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
I'll keep on runnin’
Till we meet in the middle
I'll push it right aside
And I give just a little
There’s miles to go
But wait
Don’t hold back
We’ll make it
And I know why
Tried to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can’t jump the track
Can’t let you go
Tried to once
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
Yeah I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
Maggie: I just love it when you sing that song!
Alyssa: And that’s why I sang it!
Alexa: Okay, I’ve been enjoying the songs but why not dancing.
(Maggie and Alyssa and Alexa both look at each other and smile.)
The music starts to play “Lets Dance.”
Alyssa: The weekend's almost done
The moon is low in the sky
I feel like going out
Before the night passes by
I won't just sit around
When life becomes a drag
I dance
(Music plays. Everyone starts doing the tango. Alyssa and Maggie pair up.)
Maggie: I like the base (turn it up, turn it up, and turn it up)
I like the boom (turn it up, turn it up, turn it up)

(Maggie and Alyssa trip after the song is over because Maggie is wearing sneakers and Alyssa is wearing high heals. They both laugh.)
Alyssa: Wait one sec, Maggie are you wearing sneakers?
Maggie: Uhhhh…. OKAY yes, I’ve been dying to tell you that sneakers are SO much better.
(Everyone gasps. Alyssa starts to give reasons why they are so much better. Then Maggie starts to give reasons why sneakers are so much better.
Alyssa: I can’t believe you like sneakers?!
Maggie (pausing): I’m going to bed
(Everyone else does, too. Maggie wakes up. Everyone is still asleep.)
Maggie: It's six a.m. and I'm wide awake
'Cause I can't stop thinking
About the stuff you'll say
And me and I, I can't let it slide
The paper's not here yet the sun's not up
But I'm not afraid to tell you what I feel inside
I had one of those dreams that make it all so
Clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
Why did I smile when I hurt inside?
Said I was okay when I knew it's a lie
I wanted to believe in you
You took your chances and one was me
So I'll just forgive you and set you free
I'm on my way
Yeah I'm stepping out of the haze
And it's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
I wanna put the past behind
Try and maybe I can find better days
The first time in a while
Think I even feel a smile on my face
I got a whole new perspective
You can't treat me that way
It's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
Yeah, so clear
So clear, so clear
Ooh
Sun's going down on a Saturday
And I feel all right, I feel okay
(Maggie leaves without anyone knowing. Everyone wakes up wondering where Maggie is.)
Mini (waking Alyssa up): Alyssa? Where is Maggie?
Alyssa: Please don’t even say her name and, besides, she is right here.
(Alyssa puts her hand on the other side of her and feels that she is not there.)
Alyssa: Big deal, she went home. I’m going back to sleep.
Mini: Alyssa!
Alyssa: What? It’s not my fault. Which side are you going to be on Mini?
(Mini stays quiet. The sleepover ends.The scene changes to the school hallway, and Alyssa is telling Max what happened.)
Alyssa: I can’t believe she likes sneakers more than high heels.
Max: Well, um, Alyssa. . . .
Alyssa: And I know I’m going to have you on my side. Because obviously when me and Maggie get in fights your always on my side.
Max: Well, I am actually on -
Alyssa: My side!
Max: Could you just let me finish?!
Alyssa: You don’t have to. I know you’re going to be on my side, right. . . ?
Max: Actually, no.
Alyssa: What do you mean, no?
Max: I’m on Maggie’s side. Bye, Alyssa
(Max walks off stage.)
Alyssa: Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me
Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget
We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all
And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
I won't forget us
But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us
Alyssa: Goodbye Max.
(Alyssa goes off stage. Scene changes to Alyssa’s house.)
Mom: Is something wrong Alyssa?
Alyssa: Oh, nothing.
Mom: Are you sure?
Alyssa: Yeah, I’m sure.
(Scene changes to Maggie’s house. Maggie is on the phone with Mini.)
Mini: So don’t worry, I’m on your side. Also I heard that Max is on your side too.
Maggie: Max? I thought he and Alyssa had been friends since Kindergarten?
Mini: Yeah, they have.
Maggie: He really went on my side then Alyssa’s?
Mini: Yeah. But I heard that Alexa is on Alyssa’s side.
Maggie: Fine, Alexa can be that way.
Mini: Got to go, bye.
Maggie: Bye.
(They hang up on the phone.)
Maggie: Uh, why did this stupid fight have to happen?
(Maggie starts to sing “When it all falls apart.”)
Maggie: Too bad she’ll never forgive me. . . .
(Scene switches to Alyssa’s room.)
Alyssa: High Heals, Sneakers….a fight! What was I thinking?
Alyssa: I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking, every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
but I got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s The Climb
The struggles I’m facing, the chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing but these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about, it’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith
Alyssa: Too bad she’ll never forgive me after what I said. . . .
(The scene changes to the hallway. Alyssa and Maggie both come in. Maggie is walking one direction, Alyssa is walking the other and they pass each other. Everyone gasps. Alyssa comes in with Alexa and Maggie comes in with Max and Mini.)
Maggie: Uhh. . . .
Alyssa: Umm. . . .
Alexa and Mini (at same time to each other): Look what the wind blew in? Look what the cat dragged in?
Maggie and Alyssa (at the same time): It’s OK, I got this!
(Alyssa looks down at Maggie’s feet. She is wearing sneakers. Then Maggie looks down at Alyssa’s feet and sees she is wearing high heels.)
Alyssa: Soooo. . . .
Maggie: Awkward!
(They both laugh a little then look back at each other with a straight face.)
Alyssa: Hey, don’t laugh. I’m mad at you!
Maggie: Well, I’m mad at you!
(There’s a long pause. Then they start laughing.)
Maggie: Nothing can keep us apart.
Alyssa: Not even a pair of high heels and sneakers.
Maggie: Hug?
Alyssa: Hug!
(Everyone says Awww.)
Max: And I have to say something too. I wasn’t really on someone’s side.
Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time to Max): What?!
Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time to each other): What?!
Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time to Max): What?!
Max: I was trying to get you guys to realize how stupid this fight is.
Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time): Ohhh. . . .
Alyssa: Now there’s nothing like topping it off with a song!
Alyssa: You wake up, it's raining and it's Monday
Looks like one of those rough days
Time's up, you're late again, so get out the door
Sometimes you feel like running
Find a whole new life and jump in
Maggie: Let go, get up and hit the dance floor
But when the lights go down it's the ending of the show
And you're feeling like you got nowhere to go
Don't you know
