Roses appears on the screen, sitting in a director’s chair.

Roses: Welcome to the Behind the Scenes Special for To the Barricades! The Musical! … Billy Jo, that sounds stupid, they know what this is.

From behind the camera, there is an indignant Squeak!

Roses sighs.

The screen fades to black and a series of pictures from the musical flash as a medley of songs plays. There is a final image of the entire cast on stage along with the words “To the Barricades: Beyond the Barricade. Directed by Billy Jo.”

The picture cuts to Holli and Tails sitting on Tyrael’s bed in his cabin.

Holli: Hey everybody!

Tails: We’re your hosts for this special, which is dedicated to bringing you all of the secrets behind the barricade.

Holli: Yes, you’ll get you see what went on backstage, interviews from the stars, and just about everything else.

Tails: And when we say everything, we mean everything.

They giggle.

Holli: But it wasn’t an easy road getting here. I mean, how do you expect us, The Tri-Leaders, to get along with our enemy and make this production work?

Tails: I don’t know how we did it, but it sure was a lot of fun.

Cut to John, who is sitting on top of the barricade.

John: Of course, the idea was all mine. Don’t let Roses take credit for it. In fact, I approached her with the idea months ago. She, being the Tri-Leader that she is, felt the need to be in charge. ‘John, do this. John, do that. John, get your people to rehearsal on time.’

Cut to Roses: The project needed a leader. Because, let’s face it, John isn’t the most successful. But I do have to admit, he really came through for us there at the end…Don’t show him that, Billy Jo. I mean it.

Cut to John: Once the idea was out, we realized it was a large project to be doing on our own. We needed a full script, sets, and a co-operative cast. Two out of three isn’t bad.

Cut to Roses: It was decided very early on that since only John and I knew all of the words to all of the songs, we would write the script. Luckily, Ann and Tyrael helped us out with a few songs. Then, of course, we asked Ann to help with set design and costumes and whatever else needed an artistic touch.

Cut to Ann, who is painting part of the backdrop of the woods.

Ann: I was glad to help, but Roses was such a dictator. I mean, ‘Ann could you get those sketches done in four months?’ Really. Good art takes time, you know.

Cut to Roses: Ann kept telling me good art takes time. But I thought four months was enough. And I saw those drawings, and well….

Cut to John: With a script and a set both taken care of, next on the list was the cast…*cough* Yes.

Cut to Holli and Tails, who are laughing and now have a bowl of popcorn.

Tails: Ah, the cast.

Holli: Such fun times.

Tails: We ended up getting along. Or agreed to disagree, whatever.

Holli: Well…..sort of…

Cut to John: I really enjoyed working with the Tri-Leaders. Really. I'm serious. No problems at all. I'm just saying they should all lock their doors, that's all.

Cut to Roseidous, sitting on the stage. His feet are hanging over the orchestra pit: John? Oh, working with him and his Associates was a great experience. Great if you want to learn to put up with people you don’t like.

Cut to John: But, yes, truthfully, one day I'm going to kill Tyrael. Hahaha! Nah, he knows I'm just kidding!

He stares at intensely at camera with no expression on his face for a minute Tyrael walks across the screen behind John and mouths something to the effect of "I know where you live.” Holli runs over to him, yelling, "Ty! You forgot your stage makeup!" He runs off camera and she chases him. John looks around.

John: You're not filming this, right?

Cut to a trailer outside the theater. It has Ian’s name on the door. The camera goes inside and into an ungodly dirty room, then focuses on a lumpy bed. There is some unintelligible mumbling, and then a hand comes out of the covers and flips the camera off. The camera moves over to the kitchen area where Ian sits at the table, fully clothed. His face is in his cereal bowl and he's snoring. The camera crew decided this is as good as it gets and gets five minutes of quality unconsciousness.

Cut to Roses hitting Roseidous over the head with some papers. She's saying: "I told you to memorize these lines weeks ago!"

Cut to John: So anyway, we’re are hanging around, and Roses, she just storms in and says ‘Okay people, I want this figured out by Christmas Eve so I can get it all on the site, even if I have to stay up all night!' And I said: 'Oh, go... produce a musical or something!' And everyone's like: Oooooooh! Girl, he dissed you!' You should have been there. It was really cool.

Cut to Roses throwing papers at Roseidous and Tyrael, as they scamper out of a room, shielding their heads.

Roses: No, they cannot be naked! Don't ask me that again!

Cut to Roseidous, now joined on stage with Tyrael.

Roseidous: She totally overreacted.

Tyrael: Totally!

Roses looms behind them. Some clones run behind them, naked. They all completely miss it.

Cut to Holli and Tails. They are throwing popcorn at each other. They realize the camera is on and stop.

Holli: It wasn’t so bad, really.

Tails: Nah. And then the Associates got there.

Cut to Jan Chovy, who is walking down a hallway. She glares at the camera.

Jan: And who are you?

Billy Jo (from behind the camera): Squeaker squeak!

Jan: Oh. John didn’t say you’d be filming us. Wait….was that you in my—I mean, Ian’s—trailer this morning? It was, wasn’t it!

Billy Jo turns and runs. We can hear Jan chasing him and yelling about how she will kill him.

Cut to Vinnie, in a dressing room. The camera is inside so that we can see the door to the hallway. It is open.

Vinnie: Billy Jo, I know I said I’d participate in this project, but I don’t even have my makeup on yet.

Stan runs by the door, giggling.

Cut to Roseidous and Tyrael.

Roseidous: No, the associates didn’t bother me at all.

Tyrael: Me either. I think they were scared to go near me.

Roseidous: That’s because Holli and Tails were always near you.

Cut to Ili, sitting on John’s throne.

Ili: The only reason we didn’t bother Roseidous was because he was always in his room, with Sally. That’s as bad as Ian and Jan.

Cut back to Vinnie: You haven’t seen my makeup, have you? Did we bring that bag in?

Murry floats very quickly past the door, cursing.

Cut to Ian and Silent Jim, hanging out around Ian’s trailer.

Ian: Oh, we had some good times. Vic and Vinnie played poker with us every night. They’re not bad guys, really—

Silent Jim hits him.

Ian: I mean, no! It was horrible! I hate those Tri-Leader Associates!

Cut back to Vinnie: Billy Jo, I’m serious! Turn that off!

Bubba quacks and stops in the doorway. He is wearing makeup. He starts to lunge towards Vinnie, but a shot is heard and he falls on the floor. Vic, holding the tranquilizer gun, steps around him.

Vic: Where are Stan and Murry?

Cut to Holli and Tails:

Tails: Even with all of that, the show is a great success.

Holli: And despite the fact that we pretend not to get along, we really are friends.

Tails: Only until John tries something else.

Cut to the entire cast on stage. They are bowing and the audience is applauding. This is obviously a live show and it has just ended. The curtain drops. The cast all turn to each other, there are hugs all around and much excitement. John and Roses hug each other and spin around in a circle.

John: We did it!

Roses: And it took us long enough!

John and Ann: Hey!

Roses: What?

John: But now….it’s party time!

Julia pulls a stereo system on stage, with the help of Mr. Packard. She starts some dance music. The cast proceeds to party. Holli and Tails release some chickens on stage. Feathers join the chaos. Ian and Jim find some cans of Silly String. The clones pull out bags of confetti. Billy Jo takes the camera through the crowd on stage. There are various scenes of people at the party. They continue to dance, but smile and wave. Billy Jo eventually exits the crowd and pans out to show everyone having fun. The screen fades to black.

Cut to Holli and Tails.

Holli: And there you have it!

Tails: A behind the scenes look at To the Barricades.

They smile at the camera. And keep smiling. And keep smiling.

Holli: Turn it off, Billy Jo.

Billy Jo giggles and the camera cuts off.
