Edlight Express

Edlight Express is an episode of Me and The Eds: The Next Generation

Plot
The episode opens with the kids in Glee club. The teacher explains they will be having a music festival in a month from Friday. Each student is to perform their own musical number in the form a play or Broadway production which they will perform for the entire student body. They may team up with classmates or anyone they can get. Nazz asks the most important question, "what's the catch?". In response, the teacher pulls a box out from under her desk and opens it, revealing a pair of roller skates. She explains that all acts must be performed on roller skates. Eddy complains because he can't stand up on the things. His only other option is acrobatics. He passes and retrieves a pair of roller skates. The days go by as everyone prepares for their acts. Ed asks if Edd and Prime can be suit actors in his skit. Kevin already has his planned out, but Ilana won't take part. Phineas decides he'll go solo. The teacher provides a stage for everyone to practice on. Eddy, allbeit has his act ready, is still struggling with the roller skates, being unable to maintain his balance. Before he can fall down and break his arse, Prime skates up from behind him and puts him on his feet as he skates by. Prime tries to do his own act, but struggles to pick a song. A week before, dress rehersals are to start. Some are already done beyond completion, others still have a long way to go. Prime finally decides his act and gets the rehersal going strong. One day before, Kevin's sunglasses for his costume break, forcing him to go without. At the festival, Sarah and Jimmy request to perform, only to be denied. Prime takes a deep breath and prepares himself to take part in Ed's act, who will be second. The show starts with Kevin's act, performing Pumping Iron from Starlight Express. Ed later goes on performing Patrick Page's "A Freak Like Me Needs Company", Nazz and Ilana do their own act to Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl". Eddy's act is by far the worst, he does the skit from Family Guy where William Shatner was in "Fiddler on The Roof". Phineas goes next, singing a mix of El Debarge and Jamie Golding's "Starlight Express". The final act is Prime singing his solo act "Mindfreak" by Criss Angel. The next Monday, the grades are in. Kevin got a C- because he didn't have enough girls, Ed got an A for his inclusion of his teacher's favorite movie villain, Nazz and Ilana got an A- because their song wasn't original but they played it very good, Eddy got an F- because there was no singing noir rolling skating, Phineas got a B+ because Starlight Express is his teacher's favorite song from the skit (and he makes a "cute" Rusty) and Prime got an A due to the lack of Broadway song, but amazing lighting and skating action. The episode ends with Eddy mumbling "I hate roller skates".

Mr. Marlina: A good question Nazz. All of your acts must be performed on roller skates. If you do not have a pair, I will kindly lend you some.

Eddy: Roller skates? I can barely stand up on the damn things.

Mr. Marlina: Your other option is acrobatcis.

Eddy: Fine. (mumbling) Stupid Glee club.

Prime: Oh! Starlight Express or Spider-Man, I can't decide!

Nazz: Ready, sister?

Ilana: Oh, you know it girlfriend!

Eddy: (in his terrible William Shatner accent) A fiddler on the roof? Sound's crazy, no? But here, in our little town of Agulara, you might say..........TRON!!!!
