MISS JENN: Previously on High School
Musical: The Musical: The Series...

Oh, my gosh, that's Lily.

MISS JENN: When North High released
its flawless Beauty and the Beast promo,

I was offended,
as Zack Roy's former lover,

and distraught,
as his current enemy. (CHUCKLES)

But none of that matters
when you've got a cast

who's gonna make Alan Menken himself weep.

Well, most of the cast.

Not to mention a song about a flower
that's gonna make the competition wilt.

Yes, and...

Maybe we should take a break.

MISS JENN: It's all smooth sailing
from here on out.

(MORNING SHOW THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

Good morning, East High

Welcome to the East High Morning Show.

-I'm Gina Porter.
-And I'm EJ Caswell.

And we're co-hosting
the first-ever East High Morning Show.

-'Cause I'm president of the AV club.
-I'm his only friend who agreed to do it.

That's right. Back to you, Gina.

Thanks, EJ. Now, for our first-ever guest.

You know her from The Rose Song that's
been blowing up the East High Instagram.

Oh, uh, quick reminder, tickets for
Beauty and the Beast go on sale next week.

Hmm, that's right, EJ.
Now, please welcome Nini Salazar-Roberts.

-Whoo!
-(ALL APPLAUDING)

Hey, guys! Thanks for having me.

Oh...

This just in...
Nini's song has over 2,500 views,

making it the most viewed post
in drama club Instagram history.

Are you serious?

Songwriting skills, universal acclaim...
How does it feel to be you right now?

Uh, feels good. (CHUCKLES)

It feels amazing!

The song just poured out of me.

I had no idea
it would connect with people this way.

I mean, yes, I was upset at first
that Carlos posted it without asking,

but now I'm glad he did.

And Ricky has been
over-the-top supportive.

It's just been...

It's been a lot. (CHUCKLES)

So what was
the songwriting process like for you?

NINI: I was actually inspired by my...

-Hey, is that Nini on the TV?
-Yeah, and she's killin' it.

NINI: ...really being a boss...

Wait. Are you actually fine
with the song not being a duet?

What else would I be?
Hurt? (SCOFFS) Offended?

It's a show tune, Big Red.
It doesn't actually mean anything.

But it means so much to me.
So thank you guys both for your support.

-EJ: Well, there you go. Uh, I'm EJ.
-GINA: I'm GP.

BOTH: Good morning, East High!

Come on.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

-(CHUCKLES)
-Everyone, attention please!

I'm sure you're wondering why I called
this special midday drama club meeting.

Oh, are you announcing the fall musical?
I vote Dear Evan Hansen.

No, Seb. It's March.

And the rights won't be available
for five years. I tried.

I am announcing that we are in such
a good place after our improv workshop.

We're getting one step closer
to Menkies gold.

-Yes!
-(MISS JENN CHUCKLES)

And today,
our wonderful actor/designer,

Kourtney Greene, is going to show you
your completed costumes!

-Yeah!
-(ALL CHEERING)

-Ta-da!
-(ALL CHEERING)

Oh, my God.

-Speech! Speech!
-(ALL LAUGHING)

Okay, um,
guess I'm making a speech. (CHUCKLES)

I'm super excited for you all
to see your costumes because...

-(CELL PHONE TRUMPETS)
-Oh, uh, sorry, that's Howie.

(CHUCKLES) Okay, so we set
these as our personalized text tones

because he was laughing
about something the other day,

and he made this cute little noise,

it was like... (TRUMPETS)
You know what I mean?

(SNORTS) Like...
(MUTTERING AND GIGGLING)

Oh... (CLEARS THROAT) Anyway,

with your costumes
this semester, I really tried to...

-(CELL PHONE TRUMPETS)
-Ooh.

Can you not keep your phone on silent
in rehearsal, like everyone else?

"Sorry, everyone," is what Carlos
would say if he were more like me.

Okay, Kourt, I am sorry, but
listen to this caption from North High.

"It took 20 people over 50 hours
to create our Belle dress.

"Beast costumes ever."

-Terrible pun.
-KOURTNEY: Lame.

When we're unveiling our costumes?

-How did they know?
-(PHONE TRUMPETS)

CARLOS: They've been trolling us for weeks

-and I'm trying to not let it get to me...
-(PHONE TRUMPETS)

Oh, my God, is your phone hungry?
I don't understand what I'm hearing.

Okay, okay,
let's get back to our costumes.

-Go ahead, Kourt.
-(CLEARS THROAT)

Anyway, took me a while,

but I built you some abs
that would make Captain America proud.

I have abs.

EJ, everyone has abs.
These are Kourtney originals.

Oh, I also padded the tush for you.

Oh, thanks, I actually need that.
(CHUCKLES) This is amazing, Kourt.

Oh, no problem. (CLEARS THROAT) Next.
And every Gaston needs a Beast.

Hey-o!

Oh, that's weird.
Your mask should be here.

Um, has anyone seen a Beast mask?

BIG RED: Haven't seen it.

We're too busy being obsessed
with our costumes.

-(ALL CHUCKLING)
-CARLOS: You guys...

I know where our Beast mask is.

ASHLYN: What is...
SEB: Wait...

-What...
-I don't get it. Can you just...

What are we looking at?

CARLOS: Look at the trunk.

ASHLYN: Still don't know...
RICKY: That's our trunk.

ASHLYN: I don't see...

Hello? That is obviously Beast fur.
Look, it all makes sense.

Our mask just happens to go missing
on the same day they post this?

They snuck in here and took it.

I hate to say it, but that did
kind of look like a Beast mask to me.

Classic Beast.

-Do you really think they'd steal from us?
-I would.

(CHUCKLES) No, I mean, I used to be that
kind of person, before the present day.

We have to get even, right?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

You have to at least say something.

MISS JENN: Guys, guys, guys. Enough.

Do you really think North High
would stoop so low as to sneak in here,

break in,
and steal Kourtney's work?

(CELL PHONE VIBRATES)

Uh...

And they just posted
something new, captioned,

"North High's gonna steal
your heart this spring."

Are they a witch?
How do you explain these coincidences?

It's just that, a coincidence.

Now, I want you kids to keep looking
for that mask and let the rest go.

As I learned when I appeared in
a regional production of Anything Goes

opposite a woman
who once sued me for libel,

you should never dance with the enemy.

Understood?

ALL: (QUIETLY) Yes, Miss Jenn.

Thank you.

The plan is simple.

Based on that Instagram post,
the mask has to be in their costume shop.

We know from their Instagram overshares

that North High has dance rehearsal today,
so they'll be in their dance studio.

They have their own dance studio?

We're raiding their costumes
and not leaving until we have our mask.

Isn't this kind of trespassing?

It'll be fine.

There'll be people still here
after school for clubs.

We'll blend in.

Though, Ashlyn, you may have taken
the camouflage thing too far.

No, today, I am Diane.
I play volleyball, and I love North High.

Diane, is it? (CHUCKLES)

How would you feel about
dating a guy from East High?

-(GASPS) Oh, a forbidden romance.
-(CHUCKLES)

Focus! Who's gonna be the lookout?

I'll do it.

(SCOFFS) If you leave me
unsupervised with their costumes,

I cannot promise
I won't go all Gina 1.0 in there.

Just stay calm and act natural, okay?

You got this. Everyone ready?

Yeah.

-What team?
-Wait, maybe we shouldn't yell.

ALL: Wildcats!

(ALL CHEERING)

-Let's go.
-Strong start.

MISS JENN: I have decided
to come talk to Zack.

Not because I suspect foul play,
but because I despise bad sportsmanship.

This competition between
our kids has gotten out of hand.

Now you may be wondering,

am I nervous to be seeing my ex
and his unrealistically beautiful face?

(EXHALES AND SNIFFS)

Not at all.

I'm a modern woman. I love my job.

And I have recently made
the exciting decision

to open a so-called savings account.

I am not the same person Zackey knew,

and he can't get under
my skin the way he used to.

(WHIMPERS)

I just need five more minutes.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

Starting now.

(SIGHS)

Hey. Haven't seen you before.

Mmm, I'm super new.

What's your name?

Diane.

Wow, that is actually
my great-aunt's name.

Mmm... Amazing story.

Okay, well, it was nice meeting
a fellow North High student.

Can I get your Snap, or...

Hey, babe.

Babe!

I'm so glad you're here.

So, we still on for risotto later?

You know I would never miss risotto night.

And that's my cue.

(LAUGHING)

-Okay. Risotto?
-(EJ SNICKERS)

I guess Miss Jenn's
improv class really paid off.

(CHUCKLES) Yes, and also made you weirder.

Mmm... (CHUCKLES)

Wait, what are you even doing here?

I felt bad that
you got stuck here alone on lookout.

(CHUCKLES) Seriously?

Oh, that's, um... That's sort of sweet.

Well, hey, what are fake boyfriends
if not sort of sweet? (CHUCKLES)

(GINA CHUCKLES)

EJ: I just...

GINA: Want risotto?

-EJ: Yeah.
-Me, too.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Okay, I need to sit down.

These expensive costumes
are bumming me out.

You guys, my song has been viewed,
like, 35,000 times now.

-No way.
-That's cool.

-Wow.
-(NINI CHUCKLES)

I keep getting all these DMs saying

I should start a separate account
for my music.

Hmm. Is that something you want to do?

I don't know. It seems scary, right?

(CELL PHONE TRUMPETS)

I'm a little scared right now.
Does that count?

(CHUCKLES) Oh, Howie.

I'm sorry, but is this normal?

To not know someone very long,

but already feel
like you know them so well?

Ooh!

Sorry. Bad timing?

-Kourt?
-What?

The box you're sitting on
has fur stuck in the lid.

KOURTNEY: Oh!

-Open it.
-Uh! You open it!

God.

(BLOWS) Why am I scared?

(ALL GASP)

NINI: Hmm.

It's just a bunch
of very expensive-looking wigs.

I want one.

(SIGHS) I can't
with this school's costume budget.

So where's the Beast mask?

-(DOOR OPENS)
-(GASPS)

Hello, Wildcats.

Bienvenue.

So, basically, what I'm saying is that

I think we can agree
it's our job to keep morale up,

and it's better for everyone to just focus
on the show, don't you think?

(CHUCKLES)

Why are you giving me handsome eyes?

Jennie, do you remember the cast party
the first night after Guys and Dolls?

The food, the music, the ambiance?

It was like we were
the only two people in that Denny's.

The point is, now my kids are convinced
that your students took our Beast mask,

which doesn't even sound that crazy,
since you did steal our show.

And that song we learned
for the senior year talent show.

God, we were great. Maybe the greatest.

But it's not about the mask, of course.

It's about the spirit
of fair play and friendship.

Yeah, it's just too bad
you bailed on the big night.

Okay, what?

I bailed because I caught you
making out with Valerie Prescott

ten minutes before we had to go on.

Come on, Jennie, a true professional
would have gone on anyway.

You didn't want to because you knew
I would out-sing and out-cha-cha you.

Excuse me?

You didn't have the chops.

You didn't then, and you don't now.

Oh, I have the chops.
I have all of the chops.

Well, I still have the music.

Prove it.

What are you all doing here?
Scoping out the competition?

We came for our Beast mask.
We know you took it.

Pardon me, but our costumes
are most excellent.

Why would we steal your mask,
when it is so, uh...

I... We do not have
a word for this in France,

but in America, I believe you say "fugly"?

-(ALL GASP)
-What did you call my work?

-Quoi?
-Look, I'm sure your mask is supes cute.

But we're just in different leagues.

I mean, we're literally
a quasi-pre-professional theater company,

and you guys put on shows
based on made-for-TV movies. (CHUCKLES)

Now maybe you should listen
to your precious High School Musical

and stick to the stuff you know.

(SCOFFS) Oh, yeah?
What if we bop to the top?

Honey, no.

Let's wait for the Menkies.
We'll see who's in what league then.

Or we could find out now.

What does that mean?

We challenge you
to a good old-fashioned dance-off.

-(ALL MURMURING)
-KOURTNEY: Really? A dance-off?

A what?

A school-versus-school dance-off

to a Beauty and the Beast
song chosen at random.

You'll do your version, and we'll do ours.

We'll see which school has what it takes.
No costumes, no makeup, just talent.

I'm sorry, no. That's weird. (CHUCKLES)

Super weird.

Even for me. Let's go, guys.

Classic East High. (LAUGHS)

Walking out of here
with your tail between your legs.

Just like your Miss Jenn did
when she gave up on Broadway.

(GASPS)

And, you know, let's be honest,

maybe your Belle just can't cut it.

No, I'm sorry,
but nobody out-Belles our Belle.

We are doing this.

Good. Ten-minute warm-up,
then we settle this, street-style.

I don't think this is a good idea.

We have to defend Miss Jenn's honor!

She told us not to dance with the enemy.
She's better than this.

('AROUND YOU' PLAYING)

Yeah

Think I won't keep up?

Got a lot to prove

But you ain't ever seen
everything I can do, let me show ya

Oh, no, I'd never say that

Right now, you're bringing me back

And it's never ever been me versus you
No

Always setting fires
whenever we're put together

We can't even be in the same room

Can't even pretend
that I can't get you out my head

'Cause I'm overthinking 'bout you

Why do I always get like this
Whenever I'm around you?

-Around you
-When I'm around, round you

And how do you get under my skin
When I don't wanna let you in

Let's face it

That maybe we like this
As much as we hate it

And I can't take it

Why does it always come to this
Whenever I'm around you?

Whenever I'm around you

Mmm

Going head to head
Gotta watch my back

Better watch your back

'Cause I've seen it all before
Looking at our past

-Ooh, you're so dramatic
-I'm not

Just stop
Gonna lose my head

It's like you're trying
to push me right to the edge

Always on the wire
whenever we get together

We can't even be in the same room

Same room

Can't even pretend
our situation will get better

I'm overthinking 'bout you

Why do I always get like this
Whenever I'm around you?

Around you

And how do you get under my skin
When I don't wanna let you in

-How does it get like this?
-Let's face it

That maybe we like this
As much as we hate it

-And I can't take it
-I can't take it

Why does it always come to this

-Whenever I'm around you
-Whenever I'm around you

Whenever I'm around you

Around you

-Whenever I'm around you
-Whenever I'm around you

Whenever I'm around you

-No, I can't be around you
-I can't be around you

-But I wanna be around you
-I wanna be

Around you

(PANTING)

Yep. Still got it.

Okay, I think I'm ready. Let's do this.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hi. Uh, Ricky Bowen, right?

-(CLEARS THROAT)
-I have something to say to you.

That you're a huge traitor?

Okay, I actually wanted
to pay you a compliment.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, right.

Like what?

Well, I was going to say

that, competition aside,
I think it's really cool

how you're handling your girlfriend
stabbing you in the back like that

with that quasi-viral song of hers.

What are you talking about?
I love Nini's song.

Okay, but do you love the lyrics?

"I won't be confined
to your point of view.

-(SCOFFS)
-"I'm done living my life for you."

Does that really sound
like a Rose talking to a Beast?

Sounds more like a girl
who wants some space.

Anyway, let me know
if you're looking for one who doesn't.

Um, forgive me for saying,

but it is a pity to be dancing against
such a beautiful mademoiselle.

I don't know what your game is,
but I'm loyal to East High forever.

Though, objectively,
your accent is amazing.

Merci. I'm glad you appreciate it,

I have had a hard time
connecting with people

since my English is,
you know, not so good.

Wow. Okay, yeah,
I didn't think about that.

Living in a new country
must be very challenging.

I'm sorry.

Well, perhaps we could, uh, go for a...

How do you say... Um, date?

Oh! Wow! Um...

That is very sweet, um,
but I have a boyfriend.

Of course. I should have known.

I assume it is that dashing young man
who looks like Tom Holland on stilts.

Ricky. Oh, no.

Oh, I see.

It must be him, then.

That is 100% my cousin.

Um, my guy's over there.

(GRUNTS) Ow.

I see. I see.

Uh, now remember,
my English is not so good,

so if I say something rude,
it is by accident.

Um...

That man looks ridiculous,
and you should dump him and date me.

LILY: Okay, everyone.

Warm-up is over,
gather around. (CLAPPING)

What the...

LILY: I will now press shuffle
to choose the song.

After which, I will prepare
a dance remix of the song,

since I, on occasion, DJ.

Ah, of course he's a DJ.

Non, monsieur, I DJ,
but I would not say I am a DJ. (CHUCKLES)

Thanks for the clarity.

LILY: Everyone ready?

And it's...

-The Mob Song.
-EJ: Yes!

-The first one!
-(GRUNTS) Sucks!

I knew you all didn't like The Mob Song.

-It's not really a dancing song.
-It's boring!

-Well, I mean...
-It's fine, guys. We're East High.

We can make anything work.

-Yeah, we can.
-Mmm-hmm.

Open the curtain.

-What?
-Oh, my goodness.

-Oh, my gosh.
-What?

-You're kidding.
-What the...

CARLOS: We didn't even...
SEB: What budget...

-Look at that mask.
-ASHLYN: Can you see this?

BOY: That's like Broadway...

Is it just me, or is all of this, like,
off-the-rails insane?

Uh, honestly, if you don't wanna
do it with us, you could always take off.

Don't want you to feel confined.

Wait, what?

This is a bad idea.

Okay, now that's...

That's a Beast mask.

May the best school win.

Places, please.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-Oh, my God.
-Come on.

Through the mist, through the woods
Through the darkness and the shadows

It's a nightmare
but it's one exciting ride

HOWIE: Say a prayer
Then we're there

At the drawbridge of a castle

And there's something
truly terrible inside

-Yeah!
-Don't be intimidated!

It's a Beast
He's got fangs

Razor-sharp ones

(BEAST SINGING) Massive paws
Killer claws for the feast

Hear him roar
See him foam

(BEAST SINGING) 'Cause we're not
Coming home, till he's dead

Good and dead

ALL: Kill the Beast

(ALL CHEERING)

ALL: Light your torch
Mount your horse

Screw your courage to the sticking place

We're counting on Gaston to lead the way

Through a mist, through a wood
We're within a haunted castle

Something's lurking
that you don't see every day

It's a Beast
One as tall as a mountain

We won't rest till he's good and deceased

Sally forth, tally-ho
Grab your sword, grab your bow

Praise the Lord and here we go

No one's safe until he's dead
He'll come stalking us at night

Set to sacrifice our children
To his monstrous appetite

He'll wreak havoc on our village
If we let him wander in

So it's time to take some action, boys

It's time to follow me

We don't like what we don't understand
In fact, it scares us

And this monster is mysterious at least

Bring your guns, bring your knives
Save your children and your wives

We'll save our village and our lives

We'll kill the Beast!

(ALL CHEERING)

Hearts ablaze
Banners high

We go marching into battle

Unafraid, although
the danger's just increased

Raise the flag
Sing the song

Here we come with 50 strong

And 50 Frenchmen can't be wrong

ALL: We'll kill the Beast!

-(ALL GASP)
-Ashlyn!

Of course he's the one to catch her.

He's not Superman, he's just a super man.

Let's get out of here, guys.

Uh, for the record, (CHUCKLES) we won.

(CHUCKLES) Are you serious?

Just because someone almost fell?

Yeah, did you see Gina's moves?
No way you beat that.

Maybe we should have figured out
some sort of points system?

You know what? It's fine.

Let her say they won.
This dance-off doesn't matter.

The Menkies matter,
and we're gonna win that,

because we've got
one thing you don't have.

The sympathy vote?

(CHUCKLES) No. Nini's Rose Song.

Yes, we do.

(CHUCKLES) Um...

Sorry, not sorry, Wildcats,

but if you perform her song in your show,
you will be disqualified from the Menkies.

-Are you serious?
-Since when?

You can't alter the original Menken text.

Well, let's just do it anyway.

Stick to the plan and take the risk.

And risk letting them win?

Isn't there a sports metaphor for this?

-EJ, you had one job!
-Really?

-EJ!
-ASHLYN: Great job.

CARLOS: EJ!

I mean, what if the song didn't really
fit in the show anyway, you know?

Seems a little heavy.

Let's go.

CARLOS: First the Beast.
Now this? Are you kidding me?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(EXHALES)

(CHUCKLES) Ah.

I've missed you, Jennie.

You know, maybe I should talk to my kids.

I'd really like to see
North High and East High be friends,

at least peers.

You know, get along.

And maybe we could, too.

It's been such a long time.

All right.

Twist my arm.

Let's sing something else,
and then call it a night.

-Is your sheet music in the...
-No, I...

It was you.

You took the mask.

Jennie, I know I...

It's a contest, Jennie.

Isn't everything?

It is now.

Goodbye, Zack.

Nini, wait!

I just don't get it, Ricky.

Why would you pretend to be
supportive and happy about my song?

Okay, I wasn't pretending, I was trying.

I knew it. I knew you were upset
about not being in the song.

I don't care about being in the song.

I'm just a little relieved that the whole
school's not gonna hear my girlfriend

singing about being kept under glass.

It's just a song, Ricky.

A song can mean everything.

(SIGHS) I guess we're not
boyfriend and girlfriend anymore.

Yep. Just co-anchors. Back to normal.

Back to you, EJ.

Good morning, East High!

I'm sorry.

I got caught up
in the heat of the moment, Big Red.

Wouldn't you rather call me Rouge Grand?

It's pronounced "Grand."

That was the wrong thing to say right now.
I see it.

I don't even know how I'm going to explain
all this madness to Howie.

I'm heading into date night with stories.

(ALL CHUCKLING)

(GIGGLING) And send it.

(CELL PHONE TRUMPETS)

Howie?

Let me explain.

Don't bother.

NINI: Oh, my God.

Hey, world!

Welcome to my first video on this account.

I'm posting here because a few of you
asked me to share some more of my music,

and I didn't wanna mix it
with my, like, life stuff,

so here goes.

I hope you'll support me
and what I have to say.

Oh, um, and I should
probably start with my name.

(CHUCKLES) I'm...

I'm Nina.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
