rummages through it, before hearing running.

Po turns around in time to see a big kid run at him, and run

into the locker next to him. We'll know him as Chuckie.

PO:

Hey, Chuckie.

Chuckie turns around, smiling.

CHUCKIE:

Hey, Po. How's it going?

PO:

I'm tired. You know about the dance

tonight?

CHUCKIE:

Yeah, bro. I'm gonna giiiirl-friend

tonight!

PO:

What? Why are you saying it that

way?

CHUCKIE:

You know, I'm just trying to spice

things up.

Po laughs.

PO:

Well, good luck with that.

Chuckie smiles.

CHUCKIE:

And you?

PO:

I'm not going.

CHUCKIE:

What?! Why not?

PO:

Well, first of all... I don't need

a giiiirl-friend.

He smiles.

PO (CONT’D)

And second, I'm not much of a party

guy.

CHUCKIE:

Well, it's not a party. It's a

dance, which means you can show off

your mean tapping skills. Besides,

I can't go alone!

PO:

First off, I can only tap dance to

like, songs I've practiced. Second,

it's tap-dancing, not tapping. And

finally, why can't you go alone?

Aren't you gonna find a... girl? I

don't wanna be around for that!

CHUCKIE:

I was joking around about the

giiirl-friend thing. But will you

go if I can promise you that a song

you've practiced will be played?

Po thinks. The bell rings.

PO:

We better get to class.

CHUCKIE:

Dude!

PO:

I'll think about it.

Chuckie smiles, and walks away.

INT. CLASSROOM - DAY - LATER

Po sits, staring out the window in class. He hears a sound.

He looks over to see a pretty girl sitting next to him,

trying to get his attention. We'll know her as Avery.

AVERY:

Hey.

Po gulps.

AVERY (CONT’D)

You're on the wrong page.

Po looks down at his book.

AVERY (CONT’D)

We're on page thirty-seven.

Po flips to that page.

PO:

Thanks.

She smiles, and nods. Po smiles a little bit, looking out the

window.

INT. PO'S SCHOOL CORRIDOR - DAY - MOMENTS LATER

Po passes Chuckie in the hallway. Chuckie raises his eyebrows

in question.

CHUCKIE:

So will you-

PO:

I'll be at the dance tonight.

CHUCKIE:

Yes!

Po smiles.

INT. PO'S LIVING ROOM - DAY - LATER

Po sets his bag down in the same spot that he put it the

previous day. His Mom, Mary, is sitting on the couch, reading

a book. She looks up when he comes in. Po smiles.

PO:

I'll go to the dance.
