Shelby : "Once upon a time, there was a big, strong Fighting Frog."
[Brianna appears, as Austin, hopping like a frog on top of the cheerleaders]
Shelby : "He had a beautiful girlfriend, and his dad owned the biggest pond in all the land. But, he still wasn't happy."
[Caitlyn and Madison hold up the cue cards, and the crowd goes "Aww!". Shelby continues narrating]

[the cheerleaders carry in Gabriella, as "Cinderella" in her dress, and they put her down and the crowd starts laughing. Shelby continues narrating the story]

[the cheerleaders do a handstand, showing the wall between "Austin" and "Cinderella"]
Carter : [to Sam] This isn't good.
Brianna : [as Austin, texting on the phone] "Dear Princeton Girl, I can't wait til we finally get to meet. You're the only one who understands the real me."
[the crowd laughs in the background]

Gabriella : real kiss before!"
[Caitlyn and Madison hold up the cue cards and the crowd goes "Aww!"]

Shelby : [continues narrating] But our princess had a secret too. She wasn't royalty at all,
[Gabriella comes onstage wearing a waitress outfit with roller-skates, and skating badly]
Shelby : but a geek, a loser; a servant girl.
[Gabriella roller-skates and lands into a pie, splattering herself on top of the cheerleaders with the crowd laughing loudly]
Austin's Dad : [to Austin] Any ideas about this?
[Austin shakes his head]
Shelby : [chuckling nastily to herself, and finishes narrating] And, who may you ask, is this impostor?
[motions to Sam, sticking her hand out]
Shelby : Give it up for the pretend princess, Diner Girl, Sam Montgomery!
[the crowd laughs really loudly, and starts chanting "Diner girl!" and continues chanting. Austin looks at Sam, horrified that he found out the truth about Sam]
Carter : [to an utterly embarrassed and humiliated Sam, in tears] Come on.

Carter : Shelby, baby, what's up?
Shelby : And you are?
Carter : [chuckles confidently] Yeah. Allow me... to refresh your memory.

Carter : Zorro.
Shelby : Ugh! You mean "Zero!"
[to her mean girl pack:]
Shelby : Who is he?
Madison : That's Carter Ferrell. He's the guy you cheat off in Algebra ll.
Shelby : The freak who hums show tunes?
[Madison and Caitlyn both nod]
