"Quiet music can be heard in the background, which makes all of the guests stop what they are doing and they look around. They notice a waiter bring in a large pink birthday cake, he then exits the room, leaving the guests wondering what is going on, then the music starts to get louder and Victoria pops out of the fake cake, holding a microphone and wearing a silver, glittery dress"

"This song is for this wonderful talented beautiful girl, Cassie. Let's get down and dirty and celebrate Ms. Valentine's birthday!"


(Victoria sings a short hip-hop opening song in dedication to Cassie)


She's a big girl now,
No more daddy's little girl,
With a voice like wow!
She entertains the crowd
No other lady can do what she does
Ms. Cassie V. is one of a kind

She...can get down and dirty, be so flirty.
She...is the Queen Bee, The bees knees
She...runs the scene, Cassie runs it all
She...is the one and only, the almighty

That girl is a superstar
And with her pride, she'll get far
Who cares about haters?
Just focus on the lovers
And shine so bright, be better than the others

She...is such a lady, the first lady
She...is makin' money, m-m-makin' money
She...owns the world, owns them all
She...is Cassie and don't forget it!


That girl is a superstar
And with her pride, she'll get far
Who cares about haters?
Just focus on the lovers
And shine so bright, be better than the others.


"Well Cassie, we all know you as the sweet, soulful R&B songstress but we want to know if you can bust some moves, show off your grooves a become a DISCO CHIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


The music to her new single "Disco Chick" comes on and she stands on top of a table. "Come On, put your hands up everyone!!"


I can be a, I can be a, I can be a, I can be a...

(noise of sirens)

[Verse 1]
Rollin' up in a Limousine
So hot, the flyest girl on the scene.
Glitter all over my body
So sexy, you want get at me.
All the guys in their Escalades
Looking at me, thinking "She's A-OK".
Flaunt it in the club
Sipping on a "Bud'".
I'll show you how it goes
Come on follow me, I'll take the ropes.

[Pre-Chorus]
No more Mrs. Nice Girl
I'm livin' life for the thrills.
If you think I'm just the girl next door
I'll show you...

[Chorus]
I can be a, I can be a Disco Chick
Rocking that club, showing off my tricks
No one else can do it like this
I can be a, I can be a Disco Chick

[Verse 2]
At the bar, sipping on champaigne
Work this song, till I feel the gain.
Check out my moves, that you wish you could do
Guy you better impress me or we are through.
Rocking me body, until I feel the heat
No rest for the wicked, take no back seat.
Clap your hands, throw them up
Gonna party like don't give a (huh!)
I'll show you how it goes
Come on follow me, I'll take the ropes.


[Pre-Chorus]
No more Mrs. Nice Girl
I'm livin' life for the thrills.
If you think I'm just the girl next door
I'll show you...


[Chorus]
I can be a, I can be a Disco Chick
Rocking that club, showing off my tricks
No one else can do it like this
I can be a, I can be a Disco Chick
Showing off my grooves, so sly, so slick
One sight of me, you'll want a lick
I can be a, I can be a Disco Chick

[Verse 3 - Breakdown]
Move my body, move my body
Dance till the dawn
Shake my booty, Shake my booty
You know you want it
Touch me, Touch me, Feel Me, Feel Me
Get a little closer
Hold me tight, hold me tight,
And we'll get freaky tonight.
Cos'
I can be a, I can be a, I can be a, I can be a,

I can be a Disco chick
Show off my tricks
...do it like this
I can be a Disco Chick

[Chorus]
I can be a, I can be a Disco Chick
Rocking that club, showing off my tricks
No one else can do it like this
I can be a, I can be a Disco Chick
Showing off my grooves, so sly, so slick
One sight of me, you'll want a lick
I can be a, I can be a Disco Chick


"Happy Birthday Cassie." She hands over 3 presents and kisses her on each cheek. "Hope you enjoy the rest of your night and have many more spectacular birthday's to come!"

Everything goes dark, and a silhouette of Giselle is shown, with the sound of a saxophone playing in the background. The lights go on and Giselle does her famous strut to the beat of “On Another Level”, the crowd gets excited, and a sound of thunder is herd and everything goes dark again. Lights go back on and twelve back-up dancers appear in a military like formation behind Giselle.

“Is everybody having a good time tonight?!”
Crowd yells “Yea!”
“I didn’t hear you, one more time, YOU GUYS HAVING A GREAT TIME TONIGHT!
“YEA!!”
“Okay cause tonight, we gonna celebrate, we gonna forget about our problems and be happy and get down! ‘Cause this night is for Ms. Cassie Valentine”
[Sings a melody of Madonna’s “Celebration” and her own “Celebrate (Dance Floor Anthem”]
“Come join the party, it's a celebration
anybody just won't do
let’s get this started, no more hesitation
Coz everybody wants to party with you
Celebrate we gonna get party crazy
Oh Oh Hey Mr. DJ turn that music up

[Beat switches up and bass get louder]

‘cause tonight we gonna be bad
Hey Mr. Dj make the music take over me now
Cassie you've got it
Coz anybody just won't do
Let's get it started, no more hesitation
Coz everybody wants to party with you”
“Now that we got the party started, we gonna turn this place OUT!”
[Giselle and the backup dancers perform a choreographed dance to “Tribal Drum”]
Giselle screams, “Stop!”
Tons of Confetti Falls
And Giselle sings a remixed version of “Happy Birthday”
[The crowd joins along]
“. . .Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Cassie
Happy Birthday to you!. . .”

“Cassie girl come up! I have a super awesome gift
A guy comes up and gives Cassie this large gift and Giselle gives Cassie a big hug.

Hayden makes his way on the stage and smiles. “Hows everyone doing out there? I’m Hayden and this is Be Back Soon." He starts to play on his guitar while another guy behind him plays another guitar and a drum. He smirks and taps his foot to the beat and then sings in the microphone.

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of getting postcards and
Tired of paying long distance bills (baby be back soon)
I'm tired of dreaming of sex and
Tired of not being able to show my skills (baby be back soon)

[Pre-Chorus]
Over and over I hear you in the halls
Over and over I wake up with my pillows in my arms
Oh baby when you coming home
A day without you is a day without the sun

[Chorus]
I've been missing out on your love and your shadows
And I can't wait much longer babe, without you near I'm going crazy
Be back, be back, be back soon

He looks into the crowd. "Times Square let me hear you!"

[Verse 2]
I'm tired of walking alone and
Tired of seeing happy couples walking by (baby be back soon)
I'm tired of making reservations at our favorite restaurant for just me (baby be back soon)

[Pre-Chorus]
Over and over I hear you in my head
Over and over I wake up with you not in my bed
Oh baby when you coming home
A day without you is a day without the sun

[Chorus]
I've been missing out on your love and your shadows
And I can't wait much longer babe, without you near I'm going crazy
Be back, be back, be back soon

He walks around on the stage and kneels down to sing to a girl in the audience using a little microphone earpiece he had.

[Bridge]
It's killing me, killing me
How I can't get no love without our combination
Killing me, killing me how I get so choked up with every conversation
Killing me, killing me how I'm left in the rain, while you are on vacation
Baby please let me know when you're coming home
And I will meet you at the airport station [x3]
Baby when you coming back

The girl screams and he laughs. "Love you too beautiful." He gets back up and goes to the microphone on the stand.

[Chorus x4]

As he sings the chorus, he yells at the crowd to sing louder.

Be Back Soooooooooon Oh, Oh
Be Back Sooooooooon Whoa, Whoa
Now it’s my turn to say…
Be Back Soon

The crowd cheers for him as he smiles to take it all in. It was his first performance in front of so many people. "Thank you. Happy Birthday Cassie!" He says and walks off.

Cassie walks back on stage while the fans are screaming.

Cassie:”Thank you Hayden for that beautiful performance. Okay so next were going to move this party over to the ….”

As Cassie is talking, Dominic Brown comes to the stage while pushing a cart with a birthday cake on it.

Cassie is shocked to see Dominic there and the birthday cake. Once Dominic has the cart in the right place, he takes out a mic to say something.

Dominic: “What up Times Square, How are you all doing tonight?”

The audience screams very loud.

Dominic:”Cassie’s mom wanted me to present the cake to her tonight without letting her know what we would be doing. Are you surprised Cassie?”

Cassie:” Very surprised. Wow I can’t believe you guys were able to get this by me.”

Dominic: “Well then my job is done. Oh yeah I almost forgot one thing.”

Dominic starts singing and harmonizing. The crowd is screaming and singing along with him.

Dominic: “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Cassie, oooooh ooooh, happy birthday to youuuuuu.”

Once Dominic is done, Cassie leans over to blow out the candles. The crowd starts cheering again as Dominic goes to hug Cassie and give her a gift.

Everyone gets food, drinks, and talk to friends, etc. Once their done they all head over to the old TRL building.

As 10 minutes pass Cassie walks onto the stage inside the old TRL building. Everyone is screaming as she holds up the mic to say something.

Cassie:”I hope you guys didn’t eat and drink too much because we still have to finish this party. Let me hear you make some noise!”

The audience screams loudly.

Cassie:”That’s what I’m talking about. Give it up for my best friend…… Mandy Williams!”
