DAY TWO: The Next Morning
BRICKLEBEE: (entering, using announcer voice) It���s a beautiful morning here at
Camp Heart and Soul���and only one day until ���The Star Factor���
contest! This is Rick Bricklebee . . . back to you, Maria. (Emma
wipes his brow; gives him a water bottle)
It���s Monique. And good morning, everyone! I hope your lessons
and rehearsals have been going well! (Kids nod and agree)
MEGAN:
(to Noah) Noah, Clare, and I have been working on an awesome
routine together!

BRICKLEBEE: Together? Now kids, it���s cute and all that you���re considering a
group entry, but you know���only one of you is going to be chosen
as the winner. (to Noah) Noah, you���ve got star quality. You should
really consider competing alone.
You think so? Okay!
MEGAN:
(a bit offended) Well! Maybe I should do my own routine, too!
Sorry, Clare.
CLARE:
(trying to remain lighthearted) Can���t say I blame you.
CAITLYN:
(comes up with first painting and shows it to Bricklebee; it���s
unrecognizable) Mr. B, can I show you my painting?

& CAITLYN: (together) Elephant? (beat) Rocket ship?
(jumping in) Yes, of course, that���s an elephant. Are those his ears?
CAITLYN:
(proudly) Yup.
CLARE:
Well, I think your painting is awesome, Caitlyn. Keep up the good
work!
CAITLYN:
(smiling contentedly) Thanks! What���s your name?
CLARE:
It���s Clare���(wryly) named after my mom���s favorite instrument,
the clarinet. I���ve actually named my clarinet ���Bessie��� but well,
. . . we���re not really on speaking terms right now.
