Parents & Punishments
Interior. Sonic Boom.
Austin:	Megan, it's so cool you're doing an article on Ally.
Trish:	Your "hot new celeb" issue of "Cheetah Beat" was so popular, readers wanted Megan to do a follow up.
Megan:	Everyone wants to know about Austin's amaze songwriter.
Ally:	Oh.
Megan:	First question for everybody. Describe Ally in one word.
Austin:	Talented.
Trish:	Amaze.
Dez:	Girl.
Ally:	Oh! Hey Nelson, Mrs. Ingram. You brought the whole class today. You ready for your big concert this weekend?
Nelson:	I'm afraid we bring very sad news.
Mrs. Ingram:	The band room flooded and ruined all the instruments.
Austin:	Terrible.
Ally:	Awful.
Nelson:	I'll never smile again. Hubba hubba. Hi, cutie. I'm Nelson.
Megan:	I'm flattered. But my career comes first.
Mrs. Ingram:	So, Ally. We were hoping Sonic Boom could donate some instruments to replace the ones we lost.
Lester:	Honey.
Ally:	Hang on a sec.
Lester:	I am off to Tampa for my buddy's wedding.
Ally:	Dad, before you go, do you think we could donate some instruments to the school? All of theirs got ruined.
Lester:	Oh, honey. Nothing would make me happier than to give these kids instruments. Except of course, selling them to paying customers. In fact, let's do that. Let's keep them and sell them! See you.
Ally:	I'm so sorry. But I can't donate any instruments.
Mrs. Ingram:	Oh. This is horribly disappointing. Come on, kids. Let's go cancel the concert.
Kids:	Aw.
Ally:	I wish I could help them. Wait! What if I just let the band borrow the instruments?
Austin:	Great idea! They can play their concert and give the instruments back before your Dad gets home.
Ally:	Nelson! Wait. You can have the instruments, but...
Nelson:	Have the instruments?! Hey, everybody! Ally's going to give us the instruments! Take what you want!
Ally:	No.
Mrs. Ingram:	Ally, thank you for giving us these instruments, and letting us keep them forever. You saved our music program.
Ally:	Um... but I... um... um... Um, no. Oh, wait. Uh, no no no. Not the guitars.
Megan:	That was so epic! Ally, you're like the biggest hero... Ever. I'm totes putting that in my article.
Ally:	Um... Not the piano! Did I just give away the whole store?
Austin:	Yep. Pretty much.
Trish:	Hey, we still have this kazoo.
Dez:	Hey, guys! You forgot this kazoo! Nelson!

Interior. Marino High School.
Ally:	How are we gonna come up with $10,000 to pay for the instruments?
Austin:	Why don't you just tell Mrs. Ingram you didn't mean to give them to her.
Ally:	It's too late. Megan already posted on the "Cheetah Beat" website that I saved their music program. I'm a hero.
Trish:	I have an idea. Why don't we just hold a fundraiser and say it's for the music program? People love to donate money to needy brats.
Ally:	But wouldn't that be dishonest? The money would go to Sonic Boom not the brats. I mean, kids.
Trish:	So? Instead of raising money to buy instruments, we're raising money to pay for instruments you stupidly gave away. Same thing, different order.
Dez:	We'll stream the fundraiser live so people can donate online.
Austin:	And I can perform.
Ally:	Austin! That would bring in a ton of donations. It would totally save me. Thank you!
Austin:	You know I'd always help you.
Ally:	Oh! Grade alert. Our test scores are posted. I got an "A". Aw, where's my plus? Oh, there it is. I had my thumb over it.
Trish:	Ooh! I got a "B"! My guessing system's getting better.
Dez:	I got a "C"! Aw, where's my minus? Oh wait, there it is. I had my thumb over it.
Austin:	Aw man. I got a "D".
Ally:	Austin, that's your second bad grade in a row. Didn't your parents warn you about that?
Austin:	I know. It's just with rehearsals and dance practice, I haven't had time to study.
Ally:	We have another test tomorrow. You'd better get a good grade on it or your parents are gonna ground you.
Austin:	Trust me, Ally. There's no way I'm getting another bad grade.
Interior. Austin's room.
Mike:	You got another bad grade?!
Austin:	I was gonna study, but I had to rehearse with my band.
Mimi:	You're spending too much time on music and not enough time on school.
Austin:	But my career is just taking off. You want me to quit my music?!
Mike:	No. In fact, we're very proud of you. You are blowing up as the kids say. We even get alerts when there's a new post on your fan page. There's one now. "My parents are lecturing me. Bummer".
Mimi:	We're not lecturing you. We're saying you need an education. Look at me. When my career as a hand model ended, I thankfully had my business degree to fall back on. And now, we're the proud owners of Moon's Mattress Kingdom. See that?
Mike:	Looks at your Mom's hands. She's still got it!
Mimi:	Careful.
Mike:	Sorry.
Austin:	Mom, Dad. I promise from now on, I'll take school more seriously.
Mike:	I'm sure you will. Because you're grounded.
Austin:	What?!
Mike:	You're not leaving this house until your grades improve.
Austin:	But I promised Ally I'd perform at her fundraiser. She's counting on me.
Mimi:	You should have thought about that before you put music ahead of school.
Mike:	And it also means no pancakes.
Austin:	Whoa whoa whoa. Let's not get crazy.
Mimi:	Hey, it's for your own good. These are really good.
Dez:	Bummer, man. No pancakes and no fundraiser?
Austin:	Ally's gonna be devastated. How am I gonna tell her?
Dez:	Just come right out and say it. Ally, I am truly deeply sorry... But my parents won't let me have pancakes.
Interior. Marino High School.
Ally:	Grounded? What am I gonna do now?
Austin:	I'm sorry.
Ally:	I was counting on you to play the fundraiser. How could you do this?
Austin:	Hey, blame my parents. I didn't ground myself.
Ally:	But you're the one who didn't study.
Austin:	Well you're the one who gave away all the instruments.
Ally:	That's because I'm a hero. It says so in "Cheetah Beat". I'm a hero.
Austin:	Yeah, well "Cheetah Beat" also said that striped pants are hot, and they're not! Sorry, Dez.
Trish:	So Austin's not gonna perform?
Ally:	He was my only chance. Now what am I gonna do?
Dez:	Don't worry. We know two performers who are totally gonna save you.
Trish:	Really?!
Dez:	Yeah. I'm gonna tap dance!
Trish:	And I'm gonna perform my one-woman play. "You're hired, you're fired... The Trish De La Rosa story".
Ally:	Oh, great. I'm saved.
Exterior. Food court.
Nelson:	Nailed it!
Ally:	Woo! Let's hear it for Nelson. Woo! For the record, I teach him piano, not violin. Don't forget you can donate online. Now let's look at our new total. How is that even possible?
Dez:	I'm guessing after Nelson, people wanted refunds.
Ally:	You've had your turn, Nelson. Up next, we have... "You're hired, you're fired... the Trish De La Rosa story". You won't want be wanting refunds after this. I hope.
Trish:	Nelson? Get off the stage.
Nelson:	Never!
Trish:	Nelson, get off the...
Nelson:	I want to play another song.
Ally:	Hey, Austin. I hope you're calling to donate because it is not going well.
Austin:	I know. I'm watching the Webcast. I still feel bad about what happened. I really wish I could help.
Ally:	So do I.
Mimi:	Hey, Sweetie. We're going out for the night.
Mike:	We trust you'll be here studying when we get back.
Austin:	Don't worry. It's just me and my books.
Mike:	That's the spirit.
Mimi:	Love you.
