Characters

Maggie Pesky is a fly who is interested in the latest music. She lives in the city of Stickyfeet with her family and best friend, Rayna. Her life is a bit crazy -- just as she likes it! She plays the guitar and dreams of being a famous rock star. She is the second of four children.

Aldrin Pesky is Maggie's older brother, a talented but vain jock that is well-liked at school. He can be very self-centered and at one point he refers to himself as perfect. He bickers with Maggie constantly but when push comes to shove he'll be there for her. Aldrin works part-time at a fast foint joint called the "Buzz Burger" and is rumored to date Dawn Slugworthy. He is the first of four children.

Pupert Pesky is Maggie's little brother. He has all of Aldrin's desires, but none of his athletictalent. But with help from Maggie, he always ends up shining. Pupert is an expert at having fun and has a big sweet tooth. He is also a pretty good photographer, but it can be said that his real specialty is tattling. He is the third of four children.

Bella Pesky is the adorable baby of the family and admires her sister a great deal. Although she can't talk yet, she has other talents- including juggling and breakdancing. She is seldom far from her mother's watchful eye. She is the fourth of four children.

Chauncy Pesky is the father of Aldrin, Maggie, Pupert, and Bella. He believes in "tough love" when it comes to parenting. As a child he used to write in a journal peppered with out-dated 70's slang.

Frida Pesky is the mother of Aldrin, Maggie, Pupert, and Bella. She is patient and level-headed and seems to enjoy shopping a great deal. Her brother (known as Uncle Zeb to the family) owns a bacteria farm.

Rayna Cartfly is Maggie's best friend. She is a sassy drummer who oftens point out the flaws in Maggie's logic, but goes along for the ride anyway.

Theme Song

Hey!

Yeah!

I'm fly the original

I'm sly unpredictable

I'm nearly irresistable

And I don't even try

I'm easily excitable

Completly undeniable

And sometimes unreliable

So don't ask me

Don't ask me why

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[chorus]:

I'm strange and I like it

That's just the way I am

I can't change

I can't hide it

That's just the way I am

Might as well get over it

Don't try to understand

I'm strange and I like it

Just the way I am

From a whisper to a shout

I'm what the buzz is all about

everybody's bugging out and I've

only just begun

they can't rain on my parade

I'm sunshine on a cloudy day

make lemons into lemonade

I'm just havin' fun

I'm havin fun

I'm havin' fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun

[chorus]

Aoohh

[chorus 2x]

Maggie: Ha Ha Ha Ha!
