(Angela Bond kneels down on the floor as the background music fades in along
 with sirens and occasional calls for help.)

      Don't let me out of your sight

      Is making me numb
      I'm just a girl, my apologies

Genevieve Arlington calls the assembly to order.  After a moment the crowd quiets down.

Sunshine Marigold stands up to address the assembly.

Sunshine Marigold smiles.
Sunshine Marigold says, "This is called 'Yearbook', and it's by Hanson.
 Nobody really knows what this song means, but I chose to interpret it in
 it's most obvious form. "
Sunshine Marigold shrugs.
(Sunshine Marigold walks onto the darkened stage, carrying a flat black
 book. The spotlight follows her, the only light in the room.)
Sunshine Marigold sits down.
(Sunshine Marigold opens the book and slowly leafs through it. Despite the
 dimness, you can see the gold metallic letters on the front cover:
 "Washington High School, 1996-1997." She turns a page.)
Sunshine Marigold's face went chalk white.
(Sunshine Marigold stares at the yearbook, running her hands over the thin
 paper. She looks upset.)
(Sunshine Marigold closes the yearbook.)
Sunshine Marigold stands back up.
(Sunshine Marigold exits the stage, which immediately goes black. A somber
 piano echoes through the silence. The lights come back on a few minutes
 later, revealing a crowded school hallway. Small clusters of students are
 gathered, examining their newly-purchased yearbooks and laughing. Sunshine
 walks back onstage, and a group calls her over to sign their books.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "Dear Amy, see you in September
     Hope that you remember me next year"

Sunshine Marigold smiles and hugs one of her friends, then accepts another
 book for her signature.

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "Hey Jamie, you've been a great friend to me,
     I hope that I'll still see you around here"

Sunshine Marigold grins , handing the book back. As she does so, she points
 out something, and asks her friend a question.

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "'Cause I'm looking through the yearbook,
     Then I find that empty space"

(Sunshine Marigold 's friends stop what they're doing and stare at her, but
 she continues talking, oblivious to their distress.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "There's a name without a picture,
     But I can't forget his face"

(Sunshine Marigold is left alone, as the kids all walk away abruptly,
 avoiding her question.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "Tell me where did he go,
     I want to know,
     Where did Johnny go?
     It says, "Picture unavailable" right here"

(Sunshine Marigold shows her yearbook to a passing senior, but he just
 glances at her, as if she's digging up a corpse. Then he moves on.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "More than sad, it makes me mad,
     To know somebody knows"

(Sunshine Marigold 's face is a mass of confusion and fear.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "There's a lying in your silence.
     Tell me where did Johnny go?"

(Sunshine Marigold enters a classroom, and is greeted by a sea of accusing glares.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "Poor Katie,
     She won't even speak his name
     None of us will ever be the same"

(Sunshine Marigold just stares back, and the unasked question rests between
 them. When they don't answer, she runs back out into the hallway.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "It's quiet in the halls,
     But I hear echoing off the walls
     The rumors of Johnny's mystery"

(Sunshine Marigold runs her hand over the white plaster, leaving a dirty
 smudge.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "'Cause I'm looking through the yearbook,
     Then I find that empty space
     No he never wrote me nothing
     But I can't forget his face"

(Sunshine Marigold closes her eyes and slumps against the wall.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "Tell me where did he go,
     I want to know,
     Where did Johnny go?
     It says, "Picture unavailable" right here"

(Sunshine Marigold picks up a copy of the yearbook and double-checks, to
 make sure she isn't just imagining this whole thing.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "More than sad, it makes me mad,
     To know somebody knows.
     There's a lying in your silence.
     Tell me where did Johnny go?"

(Sunshine Marigold enters the school library, avoiding the glances from the
 librarian and other students there.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "Ohhh 
     There's a lying in your silence. 
     Tell me where did Johnny go?"

(Sunshine Marigold sits down at a microfiche machine, and starts scanning
 the newspapers.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "Ohhh 
     There's a lying in your silence. 
     Tell me where did Johnny go?"

(Sunshine Marigold leans back in her chair, finding no mention of Johnny
 anywhere. It's as if he never existed.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "Sometimes I think I hear him calling out my name
     Sometimes I wonder if maybe we're to blame..."

(Sunshine Marigold continues to stare at the machine as the lights dim, and
 the room goes black. Yet even in the darkness, the piano music continues.
 The lights come back on to showcase the same school hallway as before, with
 the same clusters of students, now older. Sunshine is among them,
 chattering with her friends as she checks out their books.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "It's been a year now,
     And a lot of things have changed..."

(Sunshine Marigold drops a book, and it falls open to a page near the back.
 As she leans over to pick it up, she pales, and a sad look crosses her face
 for a moment, before she hands the book back to it's owner.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "But I keep thinking about Johnny..."


Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "I keep turning to that page."


Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "Where did he go?
     I want to know. "

(Sunshine Marigold glances at the wall, where the same smudge she made a
 year ago is still visible.)

Sunshine Marigold sings sweetly:

    "There's a lying in your silence... 
     Tell me where did Johnny go?"

(Sunshine Marigold turns back to her friends, and smiles nervously. The
 lights dim again, as the piano fades into the background.)
Sunshine Marigold bows.

 Backstreet Boys"
(Noodles Holland sees the girl of his dreams walk by with her friends. The

 at him.)

     As long as you're here with me"

 the stairs to a small area at the top of the stairs and jumps over the two
 bars onto the main balcony/platform.)

 of the stairs. She grasps the bar guarding that part and swings into a
 sitting position, her legs dangling over the side.)

    "In the evening I've got to roam
     Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome"

    "Feels too damn much like home
     When the spanish babies cry"

(Mimi Marquez jumps up determinedly and steps down to the very first stair.
 She turns and faces the audience. She leans forward and puts both hands on
 the railing next to the stairs.)

    "So let's find a bar
     So dark we forget who we are
     And all the scars of the nevers and maybes die"

    "Let's go out tonight
     I have to go out tonight"
