Since NAHEA will air pretty soon I thought we should go ahead and have an idea for a new movie, and I came up with one, so I'm going to put it here for now. I just think we should keep a steady number of movies in production, so...

My idea? Better Together. It's kinda a rip-off of Lemonade Mouth, cuz I love the movie and I'm currently reading the book  (my Christmas present :P)  but it's not completely the same.

The movie focuses on five 1 year-old kids, who are all socially awkward in their own ways, and end up in detention together: All of the characters know each other, and most of them hate each other. But when they all end up in detention, they perform alongside the radio and decide to start a band together, despite the bullies (children and adults) that stand in their way.
 * Amanda deals with depression due to her parents being killed in a fire she accidentally started. She's caught skipping class (though in reality, the local bullies block her path).
 * Carl used to be popular, but after he dumped her his girlfriend started spreading rumors about him, completely destroying his life. He gets detention for disrupting class (even though it's him trying to get the other students to stop spitballing him).
 * Lexi has seven older brothers, all of which are the best at what they do, and she is an extreme under-achiever. She gets mad at a teacher for giving her a bad grade for not filling in an oval completely and gets detention.
 * Manny's parents always seem to be too busy for him, and he lives with his 19 year-old sister. He doesn't really get detention, and is only there to help the teacher.
 * Nikki's single mother expects her to follow in her footprints and become a singer, but she just wants to have a teenage life. She's caught skipping class with her crush.

The mains are: My celeb look-a-likes are DWAB and JESSIE based XD
