FUNSTAR: My email count is more than one. I make email checking fun!

Funstar,

Are you a member of a band? If so, what is it called? I am in a country band.

Zoo977

FUNSTAR: Zoo 977? Where are all the other 976 Zoos? Oh well, no, I'm not in any bands. I once tried to be in bands, but they didn't go very well. I first wanted to be in a band in high school.

{Cut to The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries school. Teenage Funstar walks onscreen.}

FUNSTAR: Oh, man. I'm totally going to join this band. Seriously.

{Homestar walks up. He looks at Funstar for a moment and then leads him to a room.}

HOMESTAR: So, here is the place where we practice. I think you're good enough to be in our Mysfit-steries band. But, first, I'd like to see what you can do.

FUNSTAR: Well, I play a mean sax.

HOMESTAR: Great, great. But you do know that that age is over, right?

FUNSTAR: Well, OK, then. Give me something and I'll play it.

HOMESTAR: OK, then! How about a bass guitar! My electric guitar can't do all the work!

FUNSTAR: Deal!

{Cut to the band room. The Misfit-steries band are playing "Havin' Fun With My Friends" when suddenly, a sound of strings breaking is heard.}

STRONG BAD: What the heck was that?

HOMESTAR: I don't know, but I don't think people will want to hear that when we play live.

MARZIPAN: I heard it come from where Funstar is at.

{Everyone looks at Funstar. He is holding the base with all of the strings broken.}

FUNSTAR: Sorry?

HOMESTAR: You said you knew how to play.

FUNSTAR: Uh, I lied.

{Everyone except Funstar hits their heads and start walking toward him.}

FUNSTAR: {pauses} Forgive and forget?

{Cut to outside the door. Funstar flies out.}

FUNSTAR: I guess that's a no.

{The base flies out of the door, too, and lands on Funstar.}

FUNSTAR: {from under the base} Ow, my self.

{Cut back to the computer room.}

FUNSTAR: So, after that, I didn't think of being in a band for a while. But then, one day, when I was walking down the street, my want came back.

{Cut to a street. Funstar is walking when he runs into a pole and it fades to black. A few seconds later, it opens to a poster which starts out blurry but then becomes clear, saying "Cool Tapes Band is in need for a keyboardist! Place: Marzipan's House. Join now!". Pans out to reveal Funstar.}

FUNSTAR: Yes, Mr. Paper. Wait. A band? It's all coming back to me. Oh! I gotta go to the house before someone else does! {runs off}

{Cut to Marzipan's House. Funstar runs in. The Cool Tapes band are in the room.}

FUNSTAR: I want to be in the band!

MARZIPAN: That's great! Can you play the keyboard?

FUNSTAR: Well, I-

{Suddenly, a red miniature Strong Bad appears on Funstar's left shoulder.}

STRONG BAD: Well, what are you waiting for? Tell Marzipan that you can play keyboard! You'll finally be in a band!

{Then, a white miniature Homestar appears on Funstar's right shoulder.}

HOMESTAR: No! It's not the right thing to do to lie to Marzipan like that! Don't you know what happened last time?

STRONG BAD: Oh, we were kids then. All you have to do is play your best and you can trick those idiots!

HOMESTAR: Yeah! I mean, no! There are more important things in life than being in a band.

STRONG BAD: Like what?

HOMESTAR: Uh, melonade?

STRONG BAD: OK. If you want to listen to that stupid weirdo, it's fine with me. {disappears in a poof}

HOMESTAR: Ooh! Let me try! Eee! {disappears in a poof} Ding!

FUNSTAR: Uh, OK. References aside, I guess I can play keyboard.

MARZIPAN: Great! We've got a lot of practicing ahead of us before our concert next week.

FUNSTAR: Next...week?

MARZIPAN: Yep. Let's start now!

FUNSTAR: Uh, you see, I {runs away}

STRONG MAD: WHAT HAPPENS?!

THE CHEAT: {cheat-like sigh}

{Funstar runs back in.}

FUNSTAR: OK, I'm ready.

MARZIPAN: That's great! Let's go!

STRONG MAD: THAT'S BETTER!

{They all leave to the "band room", where the "Cool Tapes" graffiti still on the wall.}

MARZIPAN: A-one and a-two and a-three.

{They all start playing but Funstar, behind everyone is not playing the keyboard. When they all finish, they all turn to Funstar.}

MARZIPAN: Wow, that was great! You're real talented at that.

FUNSTAR: {nervous} Thanks. Heh heh.

{The Cheat makes angry noises then hits Funstar's leg, causing a tape recorder to fall out of his shirt pocket.}

FUNSTAR: Crud! I should've hid that better.

STRONG MAD: YOU DISGUST ME!

FUNSTAR: Quiet, you.

MARZIPAN: I'm very disappointed in you. Get out of my sight. {turns her head}

FUNSTAR: Well, I'm already out of your sight since you turned your head, but I'll just leave because Strong Mad is giving me the evil eye. {leaves}

{Cut back to the computer room.}

FUNSTAR: So, that's why I'm not in any bands. Good luck with yours, though. Maybe I can join it. There's a wide variety of instruments in those bands. I must be good at one of them.

{Homestar runs in angrily.}

HOMESTAR: You didn't learn a thing I told you, didn't you?

FUNSTAR: What did you tell me?

HOMESTAR: Drink melonade!

FUNSTAR: Yeah, get out of my house. In fact, how did you get in it in the first place?

HOMESTAR: I'm experienced!

FUNSTAR: That's great. Now leave.

HOMESTAR: Seriously, just ask Strong B-{Funstar kicks him offscreen} Dang, you're strong.

{Funstar shakes his head. The envelope comes down with the paper saying "Click here to email Funstar" popping out.}
