[Scene opens in a classroom. Students are chatting. Larry bursts in dramatically.]

Larry: (out of breath) Guys! GUYS! It’s happening! We’re doomed! Or… famous! Maybe both!

Jamie: What now, Larry? Did the vending machine finally eat your dollar again?

Larry: Worse! The school paper is running a story about us! And then it’ll go viral! And then—BAM!—we’re headline news!

Jamie: Uh… what did you do that’s so newsworthy?

Larry: I might’ve accidentally turned the school fountain into a bubble bath during Spirit Week.

Jamie: Accidentally?

Larry: I wanted a little school spirit, not a foam tsunami!

Ms. Clark: (walking in) All right, class. Let’s settle down. And Larry, no more chemistry experiments outside the lab.

Larry: Ms. Clark, you don’t understand! By tonight, I’ll be trending! #BubbleBandit! Paparazzi in the hallways! Talk shows calling me “The Sudsy Savior!”

Jamie: Or… detention.

Larry: (ignoring Jamie) Imagine the headline: “Local Hero Cleans Up School—Literally!”

Ms. Clark: More like, “Local Student Violates Health Code—Again.”

[Larry freezes, imagining news anchors behind him.]

Reporter (in Larry’s imagination): We’re live with Larry, the mastermind behind the Great Bubble Flood of 2025. Tell us, Larry, was it detergent or destiny?

Larry: (posing heroically) I only wanted to make school… sparkle.

Jamie: (snapping fingers) Earth to Larry! You’re not famous, you’re foamy.

Ms. Clark: And you’re cleaning the fountain after school.

Larry: (groans) My fifteen minutes of fame… washed away.

Jamie: On the bright side, at least the school smells like lavender.

Ms. Clark: That’s because I added it to your cleaning supplies.

[Everyone laughs as Larry sighs dramatically and grabs a mop.]
