WRASSLE KIDS/3

{Tucker and Jimbob are sitting at a wooden picnic table at the playground's mulched area. Many Pokemon cards are scattered on the table, and Tucker is holding a few.}

TUCKER: ..149, 150, 151, YES! All 151 Pokemon! There's some extras, too!

JIMBOB: I thought there was only 150 Pokemon...

TUCKER: No, there's Mew!

JIMBOB: I thought it's name was Mewtwo.

TUCKER: MEW AND MEWTWO ARE NOT THE SAME POKEMON! GOD!

{Jimbob shrinks back a little bit, and his hat jumps up a tiny bit.}

JIMBOB: Okay, jeez.

{A thin, tall kid with red hair, thick framed glasses and an anime shirt sits down with a shorter, fat kid with long, brown hair, a NES beanie hat,and a black Super Mario Bros shirt sit down across the table. The thin one takes out a thick manga book, and the fat one takes out a portable gaming system.}

JIMBOB: {to the anime kid} Uhh, you're reading that book the wrong way.

ANIME KID: WHAT?! This is manga, I'll have you know. It's read from right to left, unlike your... westerner books.

FAT KID: Hey, mohawk!

TUCKER: Huh?

FAT KID: That's quite the collection of cards you got!

TUCKER: As a matter of fact, all 1-151!

{The fat one gasps in amazement.}

FAT KID: That's more than enough to get you into a club! I'm Garry, and the other guy is John. We'll show you there.

{John pushes up his glasses.}

TUCKER: Nice, a club! I'm Tucker, he's Jimbob.

JIMBOB: Wait, weren't you from that other show?

GARRY: Show? What are you talking about?

JIMBOB: What?

GARRY: Okay... Tucker, come with us. You can bring your friend if you want.

{Cut: A tree, in the play-equipment area of the playground. A bunch of grade school misfits are seated on the ground around the tree, including the new members, Tucker and Jimbob.}

GARRY: Welcome our new members, Tucker and Jimbob! Tucker has all 151 Pokemon, like Tony.

{A kid with a yellow smiley face shirt sits up}

TONY: I'M TONY!

JOHN: Yes, Tony, we know.

TONY: I'm Tony.

{Tony pulls out a pouch of fruit snacks and slowly eats them, 1 by 1.}

GARRY: Now, new members, let me introduce you to our members! There's me, John-

{John habitually pushes up his glasses.}

GARRY: -And Tony.

TONY: I'm tony

JOHN: We're a little short on members.

GARRY: Then we saw you guys! Member material!

JOHN: Not Jimbob, he doesn't understand my animes.

GARRY: {to John} do you want another member or not? {to Jimbob and Tucker} Okay, we'll hold a match! Get out your favorite Pokemon!

{Jimbob pulls out a Pidgey, Tucker pulls out a Zapdos, Garry pulls out a Moltres, and Tony pulls out a Yu-gi-Oh card. John just reads his manga.}

GARRY: Okay, show your cards!

JIMBOB: I got Pidgey. I named him Patriot.

{Briefly, the background changes from the playground scenery to a billowing American flag. It then changes to a clip of a bald eagle diving into a lake and fishing out a large fish.}

GOD BLESS AMERICA

{The background changes back to normal.}

TUCKER: I got a Zapdos.

GARRY: I raise Moltres!

TONY: Blue Eyes White Dragon!

{Tony eats a fruit snack.}

GARRY: Tony, I don't think that's a Pokemon card.

TONY: {suddenly distraught} Huh? What?

JOHN: {to Garry} Let him play, we don't want something to happen like the last time.

GARRY: You can play, Tony...

TONY: {suddenly very happy} Hurray! {starts quietly singing the Yu-Gi-OH song}

JIMBOB: Okay, I go first.

TUCKER: No, I go first!

JIMBOB: NO! Me first!

TUCKER: AAARGH MY TURN

{Tucker pulls out a two-liter of Mountain Dew and chugs it down.}

TUCKER: I'M ALL POWERED UP!

GARRY: What is this?

{John stalks away.}

TUCKER: IT'S MY TURN OR YOU'LL GET PILEDRIVED

JIMBOB: Okay... My turn!

TUCKER: OH, YOU'VE DONE IT NOW

{Tucker's face is growing red, and his forehead is flecked with sweat. Tucker runs towards Jimbob, but Jimbob sidesteps right before impact and Tucker falls into the mulch. Tony laughs hysterically before walking off with Garry and Jimbob.}

TUCKER: {muffled} WELL SCREW YOU TOO
