Zombies Page #2

You were saying?

I'm Principal Lee.

We are thrilled

to be forced to have...

You here.

Do not leave the basement.

Have a great year.

Principal Lee?

Okay.

I was just wondering...

How do I try out

for the football team?

And the computer coding club?

Right. Music classes.

Bonzo's an artist.

He's classically trained.

Ahh ahh ahhhhhh

Oh, yeah, okay, zip it.

Let me ask you this.

Do any of these include

leaving the basement?

Well...

Yeah. I guess.

Then, I guess you don't.

So, no tryouts for you.

I'm sorry. I don't mean it.

Have a great day.

That's just an expression.

Excuse me.

Okay, let's do some grammar

or something.

This is supposed

to be chemistry.

Look, 45 minutes ago

I was a janitor, kid,

so bear with me.

What am I doing?

I'm on my way

to football tryouts.

Whoa.

Yeah, I know it's

a high-risk move,

but I got smarts

and stealth on my side.

Argh!

Rogue zombie!

Wait, what?

Wait...

Are you serious?

It's completely fine,

you don't have to...

Worry about it.

There! Zombie!

Stay calm!

Everything's okay!

There's no fire!

Fire?

Bonzo, there's no fire!

There's no fire!

Look, we've come

way too far to still

be afraid of... Fire.

Fire!

Bonzo!

Okay, everybody,

against the wall! Let's go!

These drills are offensive

and driven by zombie phobia.

No talking.

Against the wall!

Ugh!

Fire.

Okay, I know

this is scary, Bree,

but there's

a zombie safe room

right there.

It's gonna be okay.

I think

he went this way.

Get him!

He's not getting away that easy.

We've got to

get that zombie!

Zombie safe room secure.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Why, hello.

Don't get any ideas, buster.

The only thing more deadly

than my high kick

is my low kick.

I'm sorry.

This just isn't how I was

expecting my first day

at a new school to go.

You weren't expecting

to be trapped in

a zombie safe room?

Oh, no, that I expected.

That happens to me all the time.

It's sort of my thing.

So I'm not gonna get low kicked?

You're safe, for now.

Good.

'Cause today's a big day.

I'm trying out for

the football team.

Well, we're both

having big days.

I'm trying out for

the cheer squad.

That's a tough gig

to get.

Yeah, but I love it.

My parents have had me

in cheer camp since forever.

My dad doesn't even think

I'm gonna make the team.

What?

No, sure you will.

You just need someone

to cheer for you.

And soon, fingers crossed,

it'll be, like, my job.

So...

I'm Zed. What's your name?

Addison. Nice to meet you.

All clear.

Zombie!

What...

Zed, I'm so sorry.

My parents have

always taught me

that zombies

are disgusting

dead-eyed freaks but...

You're not hideous at all.

Thanks. I'll take it.

My parents have

always hated zombies

since one bit

my grandpa's ear off.

But now we'll just talk

your ear off.

There you are!

Ew! Zombie germs.

Nasty!

If you ever touch

my cousin again,

it won't be pretty.

Which, as you can see,

is off-brand for me.

To the cheer tryouts.

Seabrook awaits.

Progress.

We're making progress.

Okay, welcome to

football tryouts.

As you know, this town

is a cheerleading town

'cause this town likes to win.

And our football team is awful,

so we are not going

to win this year,

and I'm probably gonna lose

my job.

Good news for you, though.

Y'all made the team, whoopie.

Yes! I made it!

Except for the zombie.

What?

Principal Lee said you guys

shouldn't even leave

the basement.

She didn't tell you?

No.

Mmm-mmm.

Don't think so.

I think I would have

remembered that.

Come on, just let me be

on the team.

Can't have a zombie

on the field,

we'd look like a laughing stock.

Besides, I'm no trailblazer.

You know, I'm more

of a follower.

Actually,

I'm not even really

good at that, so...

Football

is stupid, anyway.

Ah, thanks for the pep talk.

Ha! Very funny.

You know, I think that

cheerleader likes me.

The one that punched you?

In the face?

Yeah, yeah. I think

there's something there,

you know?

Look. Humans are bad,

but cheerleaders

are monsters.

Things need to change.

Okay, let's go!

Line up.

Welcome to cheerleading tryouts.

It's nice to see so many...

Wannabes.

I mean,

we'd wanna be us, too,

if we weren't already

on the cheer squad.

You need to bring it, okay?

Like my assistant captains.

First up we have Stacey.

Lacey.

And Tracey.

The Aceys.

Today's tryouts

are going to be easy.

The hardest thing you'll have

to do is a back handspring,

funky chicken,

round-off match table split

with a robot down

powering finish.

Sorry, what?

Afraid?

Yes, Addison?

Captain Bucky, was that

funky chicken cajun

or shake-n-bake?

Well, I've never heard

of cajun, so spice it up.

We got this.

The Mighty Shrimp

don't think small.

Cheers until it hurts.

Listen up, it's not so tough

I'll tell ya how it's done

There's really nothing

better than

To hear you're number one

And I know how to get it

Crowd right up

and on their feet

So if you want them in it

I'll show you

how to get it

Ain't no mountain

we can't climb

Nothing keeps us down

Got that fire in our soul,

never count us out

We got one thing

on our minds

Call it victory

Yeah, that's where

we're headed

And we know how to get it

We were made for this

There's nothing we can't do

We came to play,

we're here to stay

And win the day

'Cause...

We were made for this

Didn't come here to lose

We came to play,

we're here to stay

What's left to say

When we know

nothing's gonna get in our way

No! So, get up

out of our way

We're fired up,

we're fired up

We're fired up

Nothing's gonna

get in our way

No! So get up

out of our way

We're fired up,

we're fired up

We're fired up

Been waiting for

this day to come

And it was all so clear

Since I was a little girl

I saw me standing here

All the times

they told me walk away

I said forget it

I knew where I was headed

And I was gonna get it

Ain't no mountain

we can't climb

Nothing keeps us down

Got that fire in our soul

Never count us out

We got one thing

on our minds

Call it victory

Yeah, that's where

we're headed

And we know how to get it

We were made for this

There's nothing we can't do

We're here to stay

and win the day

'Cause...

We were made for this

Didn't come here to lose

We came to play,

we're here to stay

What's left to say,

when we know

Nothing's gonna

get in our way

No! Come on,

let me hear you say

We're fired up,

you're fired up

We're fired up

Nothing's gonna

get in our way

No! Come on,

let me hear you say

We're fired up,

you're fired up

We're fired up

You guys got moves.

But can you win over a crowd?

Get them to worship you.

Like they worship me!

Addy!

Who am I fooling?

Bucky's never gonna let me

on the team,

he'll clip my wings.

I'm never gonna fly.

You don't have

what it takes.

Next!

You'll never

be a Shrimp.

Welcome to

the Mighty Shrimp.

We are the Mighty Shrimp

It's time to show you now

We got the stuff

to light you up
