[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]

[Gabriella does a silly bow, as "Cinderella" in her dress until her underwear shows, and the crowd laughs]

[Gabriella comes onstage wearing a waitress outfit with roller-skates, and skating badly]
Shelby : but a geek, a loser; a servant girl.

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.
[Sam and Carter leave the pep rally; embarrassed and in tears, as the crowd continue chanting "Diner girl" with Shelby smirking victoriously]
