subject: promDear Strong Bad,
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom.
If so, what was it like?
Matt M. WA
{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}
STRONG BAD: Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! {clears screen} Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, crashed {"crashed" is italicized} my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...
{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A casette tape sits on top of an alarm clock. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the alarm clock.}
STRONG BAD: {feigning dissappointment} Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just gooot. {puts glove over face and makes a funny voice} Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Eli..lilia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you. I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. {stops the voice but continues to fein disappointment} Ooh.. That little robot stuck in the sand again. I guess I don't have a date for the dance. {normal voice} Oh well... Looks like you two loosers and me one cool guy will just have to crash the everlovin' style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!
{Fades to black and then zooms in on All the King's Men's bass drum. The drum fades out to the band on stage.}
{A banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" is shown, then it pans down to Homestar and Marzipan in formal dress on the gym floor.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh.. Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.
MARZIPAN: Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?
MARZIPAN: That is unmistakeably Coach Z.
{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a tux thing and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}
STRONG SAD: Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.
{Coach Z fumbles the Listerine onto the ground.}
STRONG SAD: You're supposed to be our chaparone {says with a French accent while waving his hand}
COACH Z: Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygenes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is TERBERILE!
{Screen abrubtly turns black there is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}
MARZIPAN: Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah! David!
{fades back to the prom with Strong Bad, Strong Mad and the Cheat in the center}
STRONG BAD: That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I ripped off this button {Cuts to show Strong Bad's hand holding a remote control with a big red button labled 'GO!'} so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see? {presses button, a buzzer sounds}
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: What!?
{cuts to everyone's pants area, ending on Strong Bad's pants. The only pants of the bunch.}
STRONG BAD: You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants? {pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them}
VOICEOVER: And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom {applause}
{cut to Nebulon and the moon, in cut-out form}
VOICEOVER: Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom. {The words appear at the bottom of the screen.}
{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling.}
VOICEOVER: And your Prom Queen is... {cut to Marzipan} Strong Bad with no pants on! {applause}
{Cut back to Homestar. Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses}
STRONG BAD: Oh thank you so much! {applause} You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight! {Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards.}
{cut to Marzipan}
MARZIPAN: Every freakin' year. {Blows her bangs up with her breath}
VOICEOVER: {deeply} Oooh Yeah!
{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to the Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his sholders}
{Cuts back to Strong Bad at the lappy, typing.}
STRONG BAD: And the best part is that I got a twenty dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. {gets up and leaves}
{Pans out to see the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}
STRONG BAD: Hurk! {jumps offscreen}
{cuts back to the Lappy and the paper comes down}
