Karen and Flannery
Original Date of Post: 11/09/2008
Narrator: As it is said through many circumstances…peer pressure is a mother fucker! No matter what the age group, it’s still a tough cookie. Let’s watch what happens when you succumb to peer pressure!
Bertha: And now for the news on campus! It is Rush Week for the campus Sororities and Fraternities. So those of you interested… (Radio turns off)
Miss Agatha: That stuck-up sister of mine! She’s the Dean of Pallet University, while I’m stuck babysitting a bunch of spoiled high school students. (The door opens)
Oak: Miss Agatha, I was wondering if you would…
Miss Agatha: GET OUT! (The door shuts)
Oak: Uh, I better wait until she cools down to talk to her.
Scott: So what’d you want to talk about?
Oak: Word around school is that the senior class is planning their senior prank earlier than expected this year. I want you to be my…
Scott: Eyes and ears? Got it! (In the courtyard during lunch)
Laura: It still feels like we’re kids in a custody trial.
Brianna: Why do you say that?
Wally: Because of Dawn and Zoey!
Dawn: Guys, don’t be ridiculous. Zoey and I both care about you guys equally…
Laura: See what I mean!
Dawn: But it’s my week for you guys to hang out with me and I’m not letting that bitch interfere. (Tiffany walks up) Oh hey Tiff!
Tiffany: Hey Dawn! Got custody this week?
Dawn: You’ve got it!
Laura: (Sighs) It is like a divorce.
Tiffany: Hey sweetie, you want to meet me after school?
Dawn: Sure thing. I have nothing else planned! (Tiffany walks away)
Brianna: Sweetie? Are you guys dating or something?
Dawn: I think the nail polish fumes have finally gotten to your head. Tiffany is just a friend.
Brianna: Well the people at this school are pretty much confused and don’t know what to think of you anymore. It’s because at the beginning of the school year, you were with Zoey and then at the dance you slow danced with Conway, and now you’re hanging around Tiffany. What’s the real deal?
Dawn: It was just one dance with Conway! And Tiffany is just another girl I hang around with when you guys are with Zoey and Marley.
Laura: Just the same Dawn, I don’t trust Tiffany one bit.
Dawn: You say that about everyone.
Brianna: She can’t help it! You’ve seen how her cousin was! It was bound to happen where she was going to pick up on her traits.
Dawn: Yeah, but when Marisa had a bad feeling about something she was usually right.
Laura: My intuition is just as good as my cousin’s! But that’s not the point! Look Dawn, just be cautious.
Dawn: No need to worry. Tiffany is a good person.
Laura: I hope you’re right. (Back at the University)
Marisa: You want me to join a what?
Misty: Please Marisa! Do this with me! I do not want to go alone.
Marisa: Ask somebody else. Ask Grace!
Grace: I’m already doing it.
Marisa: Well that’s all settled; you two go and have fun.
Misty: Come on! You’re coming too! Haven’t you ever heard the saying, "Two’s company and three’s a crowd?"
Marisa: Can't you coerce Erika to join you guys?
Grace: Wish we could, but Erika refuses to go through with joining a sorority. She says she’d rather focus on her music and not be bothered.
Marisa: You allow Erika not to go through with it, but not me? How fair is that?
Misty: Come on. You can at least make an attempt at trying to make some life-long friends and connections.
Marisa: You’re going to have to do better than that.
Misty: $50.
Marisa: Oh Misty, bribery? My God, what are you thinking? Make it $100.
Misty: $75.
Marisa: …Okay, you’ve got yourself a deal. And I want cash this time. I don’t take checks from college students.
Misty: But you’re a college student too.
Marisa: Not the point. (Outside the sorority house)
Grace: Wow. Looks like a bunch of girls want to join this one.
Marisa: There are a bunch of other sororities at this school. I wonder why all of them wanted to pick Alpha Chi Omega.
Misty: Duh! It’s the biggest one around the world!
Marisa: Whatever you say! (Lily walks up)
Lily: Good afternoon ladies!
Marisa: Okay, now I see why you picked this one.
Lily: So little sister, I guess you want to follow in my footsteps. And you even brought your crew! Except I don’t see the short one with pig-tails!
Misty: Sakura’s at Sandgem.
Lily: And I see that the nark hasn’t betrayed your confidence yet seeing as you two are still the best of friends.
Marisa: (Sarcastic) Wow, this one can see!
Lily: (Chuckles) Sarcasm will get you no where, nark! It just so happens that I am an elite member of this sorority.
Marisa: Is that so? I’m actually surprised you got into this school Lily. I guess Misty wasn’t the only one in the family who got the brains.
Lily: Did you come to join?
Marisa: Nope. We just came here to drown ourselves at the shallow end of the pool.
Lily: Should I just stop calling you nark and start calling you Daria?
Marisa: What gave me away? Was it my glasses? (Two girls walk up)
Lily: Oh Karen, Flannery, glad you’re here. We have two more girls willing and able to join! (Glares at Marisa) And one pain-in-the-neck!
Karen: State your names!
Misty: I’m Misty Waterflower!
Karen: Oh, so you’re the younger Waterflower sister. Pity…I was expecting the younger one to be of great beauty like the other three. How disappointing! (Misty growls) Well, if she’s got the Waterflower skill and spirit like you Lily, she’s as good as in.
Flannery: (Gasp) Oh my God! Wherever did you get those bracelets?
Grace: These? I made them myself!
Flannery: I’m such a sucker for neat trinkets like these.
Grace: I could make you one if you’d like.
Flannery: You would? Oh, that would be so great!
Karen: (Clears throat) Flannery! Get on with the business!
Flannery: Oh, right. Sorry about that. (Clears throat) State your name!
Grace: My name is Grace, ma’am!
Karen: And what about you?
Marisa: Should I give you my real name or the name they call me in jail?
Karen: Oh, we’ve got ourselves a funny girl!
Flannery: Wait a second! I think I remember you! You were the one who played that uncensored music at the Halloween party.
Karen: Pardon me?
Flannery: You remember! At the dorms, we wanted to see what the freshmen of this school were up to.
Karen: Oh yes, now I remember.
Marisa: (Sarcastic) Great! I’m going to have a great time!
Misty: Please Marisa give them a chance!
Marisa: Either you want to become a sister to a bunch of elitists or you’re trying to prove something to one of your older sisters.
Misty: Look, the fact that my older sister Lily is a head sister is just a coincidence. It doesn’t mean anything to me.
Marisa: That’s what you said all through high school and that’s basically why you stayed on the cheerleading squad all four years.
Grace: Ooh, burn!
Misty: That’s not what happened!
Marisa: That’s not what Sakura told me. (Speaker phone)
Karen: Good afternoon ladies. I’m so glad that so many of you are interested in becoming a sister here. Behind me is the house of Alpha Chi Omega. This is your new home for the next several days. Now come inside so we may assign you your team leader, your assignments, schedule, and nickname.
Marisa: Oh goodie! We get to be treated like reality show trash contestants!
Misty: Please have a positive attitude with this!
Marisa: (Sighs) Okay Misty. For your sake I will rough it out with you. I know you don’t want to go through this alone.
Grace: I’ll be there too.
Lily: Here you go ladies.
Misty: Toothbrushes?
Lily: You’ll need them to scrub our proud statue inside the corridors. Now get cracking! I want to see my face on that statue by 9:00pm!
Marisa: I’m starting to wonder if $75 is even worth it. (After school at the high school)
Laura: I’ll see you tomorrow.
Dawn: See you! (Turns a corner) There you are!
Tiffany: Hey Dawn!
Garret: You brought her?
Billy: Are you sure you want her on this plan?
Dawn: What plan?
Tiffany: Oh, it’s just for a little event we’re going to do. As you know our final exams are approaching very fast and we just want to cheer everybody up with a great big stunt.
Dawn: Are you guys going to put on a show? I know a certain someone who plays a mean violin! (Tiffany blushes)
Tiffany: Well I don’t know about that!
Dawn: Oh, don’t be so modest!
Tiffany: (Giggles) Oh, you’re sweet! But that’s the plan! We want to do a little show on the roof-top.
Dawn: Do you guys need me to pull an audience in?
Clyde: We can’t pull this off with witnesses! (Garret hits him)
Garret: What Clyde is trying to say is that we’ve got the audience covered. What we really need are masks.
Dawn: Masks?
Tiffany: Masks are fun to wear and they make people happy if a performer wears one. Dawn, do you know where we can find some happy and cheerful masks?
Dawn: I can get them from the costume room in the theatre. I know Miss Vivian wouldn’t object to me borrowing some for a worthy cause.
Tiffany: Excellent. Now run along my dear. We’ve got a concert to plan and only a few days to plan. (Dawn leaves)
Clyde: But sis, we’re not doing a concert! (She hits him)
Tiffany: Shut up Clyde! I know that. We wear the masks to hide our faces when we pull off the big plan.
Billy: Sure you want to throw your new friend under the bus?
Tiffany: Hey, somebody’s got to take the fall. (In the front office)
Laura: Hmm…Tiffany Go-Go! Damn, I wish I knew more about her. (Sighing) Oh man, I don’t trust that girl for the life of me but I have no way to prove she’s bad news. What to do. I know! (Dials her cell phone) She’s gotta be out of classes by now! (At the sorority)
Grace: Well this sucks a great deal! (Phone rings)
Marisa: Hello.
Laura: Marisa, glad you picked up. I need to ask you something.
Marisa: Could it possibly wait? I’m in the middle of an important task.
Laura: You must be familiar with some of the students back at the high school. Does the name Tiffany Go-Go ring a bell?
Marisa: Tiffany Go-Go? Hmm… (Lily clears her throat) Huh?
Lily: Talking on the phone in the middle of your chores? I am ashamed! (She takes the phone and shuts it off) You will not be permitted to use your phone for the remainder of the week! Now get back to work…Busty!
Marisa: (Groans) I should have punched them in the face for nicknaming me that! (Sighs) Just grin and bear it! The week shall be over soon. Just keep telling yourself that! (Back at the high school)
Laura: Well that was no help! (She leaves the office) If only I can dig up some dirt on her and those brothers of hers.
Conway: Hello Miss Laura.
Laura: Hi Conway. What’s with the camera?
Conway: Well I’m on the yearbook committee and they want me to take pictures for clubs and organizations.
Laura: Well that’s cool. How do you like it so far?
Conway: Okay for the most part. I was able to get the cheerleaders and student council already.
Laura: Hmm…I think I just got an idea. Conway, did you happen to do Orchestra yet?
Conway: I don’t think so!
Laura: Great. Conway, would you mind if I tag along with you when you take the pictures for Orchestra? It’s just that I wanted to ask a few members of the group a few questions.
Conway: I guess that couldn’t hurt.
Laura: Thanks Conway. (A little later in Laura’s room)
Michelle: Dinner time Laura!
Laura: Okay. (In the dining room) Say Auntie, have you heard from Marisa today? I was talking to her earlier and there was a woman’s voice and then the line died.
Michelle: Actually, she called right before you got home.
Laura: Is she okay?
Michelle: She’s fine. It’s just that she’s decided to go out for a sorority.
Father: I’m actually surprised that Marisa decided to do something so conformist, but you know good for her. Whatever floats her boat!
Laura: I guess they don’t want her talking on the phone.
Michelle: Well just the same, don’t expect her to call or visit for the next several days. She does have to go through this initiation process.
Laura: Did Marisa mention anybody over the phone for me.
Michelle: I don’t think so. She didn’t talk for that long.
Laura: Oh.
Michelle: But she said that she’ll give you a call if she gets the chance.
Laura: I hope so.
Father: Something happening in school? Boy troubles!
Michelle: Oh, how is Gary Oak doing? You barely talk about him these days.
Laura: Oh, you know how he is. He’s busy with school work and college life. You know how it is!
Michelle: Right. (Back at the sorority)
Marisa: (Sighs) This day was brutal!
Grace: Do you think they’re going to make us brush our teeth with those brushes we used today?
Misty: I don’t think they’d be that disgusting.
Grace: Well do you at least have an extra toothbrush?
Misty: What the hell happened to yours?
Grace: Well, the one the girls gave me broke and I didn’t want to upset the sisters so I panicked and…used mine!
Marisa: (Sighs) You are so lucky I have an extra toothbrush in my purse.
Grace: You carry everything in that bitch-bag of yours, don’t you?
Marisa: You never know when some of that stuff comes in handy.
Grace: Like the pepper spray?
Marisa: There are a lot of sickos out there!
Grace: Scary but true! (The door opens)
Karen: Lights out ladies! We have a long day tomorrow!
Narrator: (Yawns) Four o' clock, the next morning...
Flannery: (Yawns) I’m sleepy!
Karen: Here, drink some more coffee!
Lily: I always hate this part of the initiation.
Karen: Yes, I know. I’m not too thrilled about being up at this time either, but we only do it for one week a year. Once that’s over we can go back to sleeping until 10:00am. Now let’s give the girls a little wake up call! (They open the door and blow air-horns) RISE AND SHINE! (Turns on the lights)
Misty: (Groaning) It’s four in the morning!
Lily: It’s late! You should be up and dressed already.
Misty: Oh man. Grace, wake up! (Grace groans) Come on, it’s time to attend to our sorority duties!
Karen: Hey, where’s the other one? Where’s Busty? (Marisa walks in the room) What the…You’re already dressed?
Marisa: Duh. I’m always up around this time.
Lily: (Thinking) That girl still makes me sick. The little witch found away around the wake-up call.
Karen: You girls! Get ready! We’re going to have oodles of fun today!
Narrator: Yeah, fun for the three head bitches, but not fun for the newbies. For the next several days, they were up at four in the morning doing routine chores and exercises throughout the whole house. And in the afternoon, they were forced to do humiliating things for their own amusement. I won’t get into too many of the details, but I can tell you that the newbies were exhausted by the end of the day. It is now Monday morning and Laura is deciding what actions she needs to take to expose Tiffany and her brothers for who they really are.
Laura: Where could he be? (Looks at her watch) Conway was supposed to meet me here over an hour ago. (The door opens)
Oak: Good morning Laura!
Laura: Hello Principal Oak.
Oak: Say Laura, I’m in a little jam here. You see, I have a horrible feeling that the senior prank or some other kind of prank is going to be set off really soon. I’m just afraid the magnitude of the prank will be enormous since your cousin has graduated. She was able to sniff out a prank like that.
Laura: A prank already?
Oak: Yes. I need you to be my eyes and ears. Report back to me if you find anything out. (She leaves the room)
Laura: Oh man. No wonder Marisa was called a nark all through high school. I feel like all I am is a stool pigeon for that man.
Conway: Hi Laura.
Laura: Where the hell have you been? I thought we were going to take the Orchestra picture.
Conway: I already did that.
Laura: What?
Conway: Yeah, luckily everyone from Orchestra was there this morning and I got the nice shots I needed. Sorry about that Laura.
Laura: God damn it! (Dawn walks by)
Dawn: Hi you guys!
Conway: Good morning Dawn. You’re looking well.
Dawn: Oh thank you. (Tiffany walks up) Hey Tiff!
Tiffany: Hello Dawn…And hello…Dawn’s friends.
Laura: (Growls) The name is Laura.
Tiffany: Whatever! Hey Dawn, can I speak to you in private?
Dawn: Sure. Guys, I’ll talk to you later. (They walk away)
Laura: I don’t trust her.
Conway: Huh? I don’t know…she seems okay when I met her this morning. (In the girl’s bathroom)
Dawn: So what did you want to talk to me about?
Tiffany: Oh that! I just wanted to tell you we’ll be doing the concert this afternoon. So we’ll need those masks from the theatre.
Dawn: No problem. What time do you need me to bring them?
Tiffany: We’re going to set up during sixth period.
Dawn: Oh…But I can’t miss class!
Tiffany: Got you covered sweetie! I have a pass from our Orchestra instructor for you to come and help us out.
Dawn: Sure this will get me out of class?
Tiffany: Positive. Just be sure to show up with the masks during sixth period and you have nothing to worry about.
Dawn: There we go! Now my hair is perfect!
Tiffany: I don’t know how you’re able to get your hair so perfectly bouncy like that.
Dawn: Just blessed I guess.
Tiffany: Don’t be so modest. Come on, I’m sure you’ve gotten your fair share of compliments about your hair.
Dawn: Well…only one. (Thinking) Zoey.
Tiffany: Oh, that ex-girlfriend of yours? I take it you still miss her.
Dawn: She was my…first love. It’s always hard to get over that.
Tiffany: Listen sweetie, I know there are plenty of girls out there who would love you more than that other girl ever could.
Dawn: Maybe.
Tiffany: Don’t say that. (Tiffany kisses her on the lips)
Dawn: Tiffany! (Blushes) Oh my!
Tiffany: You’re something special Dawn. Don’t forget that.
Dawn: Thank you. (At lunch in the cafeteria)
Brianna: Hey Laura.
Laura: Now what?
Brianna: I think I get what you mean about this feeling like kids in a divorce settlement.
Laura: It takes you two months to realize that?
Brianna: If only we can get Dawn and Zoey to start speaking to each other again.
Laura: They just need some time apart. Soon they’ll let this whole grudge blow over and they’ll be friends again.
Brianna: I hope so. Marley scares the crap out of me. (Zoey and Marley sit down) See what I mean Laura? Her eyes just say "death" all over it!
Laura: And you’re an idiot. (Sighs)
Zoey: Something wrong Laura?
Laura: Huh? Oh…it’s nothing Zoey. (During sixth period in the Orchestra room)
Billy: I hope that friend of yours is going to come through for us.
Garret: I just hope Clyde got to the roof-top without getting caught. He is carrying precious cargo after all.
Tiffany: Relax, I wrote something down for Clyde to say in case he gets stopped by a faculty member. (Near the rooftop of the gym)
Clyde: (Reading from paper) I am putting these sticky papers out to get the pigeons off of the rooftop.
Quackenpoker: Oh, in that case. Go right on through. Nice boy for doing that. (Back in the other room)
Garret: Hey sis, how were you able to get Dawn to go through with this?
Tiffany: Simple. I persuaded her in a way you can’t imagine. I give her a nice smooch on the lips and she’s instant putty in my hands.
Billy: Playing around with a lesbian, sis? You’re not playing for the other team, are you?
Tiffany: Of course not! I just kissed her to fool her into thinking I was interested in her.
Billy: Oh, you are pure evil. (In the theatre)
Dawn: Hmm…Now where could they be? Ah-ha! There’s the box! (The doors handle jiggles) Oh crap! I have to hide! (The door opens)
Zoey: Huh? The light is on. That’s strange. Oh well, where’s that damn socket wrench?
Dawn: (Thinking) Oh man. This is a fine mess I got myself into. Wait, why am I hiding? I have a note excusing me from any kind of trouble. (Sneezes)
Zoey: Huh? Is somebody in here? (She turns a corner) Dawn? What are you doing here?
Dawn: What are you doing here?
Zoey: I asked you first and you don’t have class around here.
Dawn: For your information, I’m doing a favor for the Orchestra and they’re in need of a few things. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to take this box and I’m going to help out my new friends. You know the ones who really care about me.
Zoey: I didn’t ask you for your life story. Just take what you need and don’t forget to shut off the lights when you’re done in here. (A little later on the roof of the gym)
Tiffany: Alright boys, down below are all of the teachers cars. Do you have your ammo ready?
Billy: Got it! Rotten eggs! I’ve been saving these babies since Easter. (He opens the crate)
Tiffany: Oh my God! Close up that thing! (He shuts the crate) I almost lost my lunch!
Garret: Well you can’t have eggs without the tomatoes. I got a lot of tomatoes for the occasion. Cost me an arm and a leg at the health food store though.
Clyde: I got feathers!
Tiffany: Huh? Fine Clyde, whatever floats your boat! Anyways, I’ve got silly string and you know I can get a lot of distance with these babies.
Billy: True enough.
Garret: Hey, where’s that friend of yours? (The door opens)
Tiffany: Oh, right on schedule. Dawn, you came through for us.
Dawn: Yup! Here are the masks!
Tiffany: Perfect. (She puts one on) Now keep these on at all times.
Clyde: This thing itches. Anyone want to trade?
Tiffany: Shut up! (They huddle up) Now remember boys, I want you to go one at a time with the plan. One person throws something, ducks down, and another goes in.
All: Right.
Dawn: (Thinking) Oh no, I left my backpack downstairs. (She leaves)
Tiffany: Ready…Aim…FIRE! (They start to throw the ammo)
Garret: Take this!
Billy: And this!
Clyde: And this! (Throws a feather)
Tiffany: Guess the gravity talk has completely passed you by, didn’t it Clyde. (Nearby on the ground)
Forrest: Ugh. I don’t see why we should even learn algebra. When are we ever going to use those equations in everyday life?
Max: Algebra is useful to people who go into accounting or in your case, giving out change behind a counter at a one-pump gas station. (Conway laughs)
Forrest: Oh shut up!
Conway: Oh man! What’s that stench?
Max: Forrest!
Forrest: Hey, I didn’t do it!
Max: See, now this is why girls find you so repulsive.
Forrest: I didn’t cut the cheese guys! It smells like rotten eggs!
Conway: Look on top of the roof! (An egg falls on a car)
Forrest: Whoa! Someone’s egging the teacher’s cars!
Max: We have to tell somebody!
Conway: It’s a good thing I brought the video camera today!
Forrest: Fire that bad boy up! (In Principal Oak’s office)
Oak: I hate this paper work. I feel like I’m getting arthritis.
Miss Agatha: You already have arthritis.
Oak: Is that a shot at calling me old?
Miss Agatha: If the shoe fits!
Oak: I’m still 10 years younger than you!
Miss Agatha: WHAT WAS THAT?!
Oak: Nothing! (The door opens) Huh?
Riley: You guys, come quick! Somebody is on the roof of the gym throwing a bunch of crap on all of the teacher’s cars!
Oak: Is this a joke?
Riley: No, it’s happening as we speak!
Miss Agatha: Out of my way! When I get a hold of the delinquent, I’ll sentence him to detention until he’s married. (Back on the roof top)
Clyde: We’re getting an audience!
Tiffany: That’s enough. I think we did enough damage. Let’s get out of here before we get caught! (They run down the stairs)
Dawn: Hey, where are you guys going?
Tiffany: We forgot something important. We’ll be back in a little bit! Just go up there and don’t come down until we tell you.
Dawn: Okay. (She gets to the top) Whoa, this place looks terrible…and it stinks! (Down below)
Scott: My baby! My poor baby! (Sobbing) I just washed her this weekend too!
Oak: Control yourself Scott! Everybody is staring to stare at you and you’re not supposed to let the students see you in this state. (He continues sobbing)
Laura: Who could have done such a thing?
Forrest: Look on the rooftop!
Laura: (Gasp) It couldn’t be! (Back on the roof)
Dawn: Whoa! What happened down there? (The door opens) Tiffany is that you?
Miss Agatha: YOU! (Dawn jumps) You are in so much trouble young lady!
Dawn: Huh? What did I do?
Miss Agatha: Don’t play the innocent card! You were the one on the roof throwing eggs, tomatoes, and silly string on all of the teachers cars.
Dawn: But I didn’t do it Miss Agatha. You have to believe me!
Miss Agatha: Save it for when we call your mother. We’re going to have a long talk about your punishment!
Dawn: I’m innocent! I didn’t do anything! (Back down below)
Forrest: It’s just sad to see a grown man cry. You’re getting every moment of this right?
Conway: Got it!
Max: Look! Miss Agatha is coming out with the hooligan!
Conway: It’s Dawn!
Laura: Oh no! She couldn’t have done it! She just couldn’t have!
Oak: Good, now we can get some straight answers.
Laura: Principal Oak!
Oak: Not now Laura.
Laura: (Gasps) Oh. (A little later in the Principal’s office)
Miss Agatha: You are in big trouble young lady!
Oak: You’ve damaged at least seven of the teacher’s cars during school hours and on school property. We are going to take extreme measures here.
Johanna: How could you do such a thing?
Dawn: But you guys have to believe me, I didn’t do anything. I didn’t destroy your cars.
Miss Agatha: Oh! (Sarcastic) Well then, if you didn’t do it…Who did?
Dawn: I…I don’t know!
Oak: You leave me no choice Dawn. You are hereby suspended from school for two weeks.
Dawn: What?!
Oak: You’re lucky I’m not going to expel you! (Outside the office)
Tiffany: Good girl Dawn, you didn’t rat us out! (A little later in the hallway)
Brianna: She did what?
Wally: She egged the teacher’s cars! Or at least that’s what I heard from Forrest.
Zoey: I knew she was acting strange.
Brianna: What do you mean?
Zoey: Before the incident, I caught her in the costume room with a box of masks.
Brianna: What the hell did she take those?
Zoey: I don’t know, and I could care less.
Laura: ALRIGHT THAT’S IT! I am sick of this attitude you are giving Dawn. She doesn’t deserve this from anybody, especially from you. Zoey, if this happened last year you would have been as concerned about her as I am and you would have believed her innocence too.
Conway: I believe you Laura! Dawn couldn’t have done something like that. She’s too much of a sweet person to ever do something so horrible.
Laura: Oh thank God, I thought I was going crazy.
Brianna: Figures. The pervert would take Dawn’s side. It’s obvious after all, the pervert likes Dawn. (Conway blushes)
Conway: I’m not a pervert! Laura, I got the action on camera. I could use an extra person to help me find some evidence. You seem pretty smart! (She blushes)
Laura: Oh, you flatter me!
Brianna: Don’t fall for it sweetie! Gary’s your boyfriend and plus, look at him! He’s a pervert!
Conway: I am not a pervert! (Back at the sorority house)
Grace: Oh man, why did I ever sign up for this?
Misty: You wanted to be a sister just as bad as I do.
Grace: Oh yeah. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. Misty, your sister is such a slave-driver. Are all of your sisters like that?
Misty: No. Daisy is a hell of a lot worse. But look at the positives, the higher-ups get to make their decision tonight on who gets in.
Grace: After all the crap we went through the last couple of days, we better be accepted.
Misty: I was actually surprised by Marisa. She did all of the challenges perfectly.
Grace: Over-achiever! But that girl never fails to surprise me. Speaking of which, where the hell is she?
Misty: I don’t know. She’s probably walking around freely since Karen, Flannery, and Lily are out of the house.
Grace: Well since you’re going to be up, make sure to wake me up when they return. (In another room)
Marisa: I better find my way back to the room before the three witches return. (She opens a door) Oh, I’ve never been in here before! Hmm…let me just take a peak in this box! (Opens the box) Leave it to one of Misty’s sisters to not hide our confiscated items in a more secure location. Great, I can call Tracey. (Phone beeps) Hmm…Looks like Laura was the one who wanted to get in contact with me. “Have you found any information about Tiffany Go-Go? Please call me back when you get this!” Tiffany Go-Go…The name does ring a bell. I wonder what… (Gasp) I know! (Dials the phone) Laura!
Laura: Marisa, where the hell have you been?
Marisa: It’s been a long couple of days.
Laura: Well, you can tell me all about your sorority days later. Right now, I need your help.
Marisa: I remember now. Tiffany Go-Go! I remember last year her and her brothers tried to pull off a prank last year.
Laura: Last year? But the only prank pulled off last year was the senior prank!
Marisa: They almost pulled it off. Luckily I was able to pull the plug on their prank.
Laura: What was the prank?
Marisa: I believe it was to vandalize the teacher’s cars! (Laura gasps)
Laura: That’s what just happened today at school. Except, Dawn was held responsible for the crime!
Marisa: You’re kidding me! That’s awful! If I remember correctly, we confiscated what they were going to use before they could pull off the prank. There were eggs, tomatoes, silly string, and a bag of feathers.
Laura: Feathers? Well…three out of four isn’t bad. (The door handle jiggles)
Marisa: Oh shit! I have to get out of here! I’ll talk to you later. I have to hide! (The door opens)
Lily: What is it about frat boys that are so damn irresistible?
Flannery: They have a lot of money? (Marisa tip-toes out the door)
Lily: Not all of the boys are rich! Although, I could dig into those ones! You know, marry me a rich man! You know what I’m saying!
Flannery: Go for the gusto, girl!
Karen: Alright ladies, tonight, we choose which girls will be joining our sorority. (Outside the door)
Marisa: (Thinking) Oh, should I eavesdrop? What am I saying? This is me! (Back inside)
Karen: As we all know, not all of the girls can get in. Merely because they’re not good enough or strong enough or are not ready to be a part of the sisterhood! Let’s start with this girl. (Back outside)
Marisa: (Thinking) These bitches are crazy! It's like some stupid reality show with how they're choosing each of us. How pathetic! (Back inside)
Karen: Now how about this one? Busty!
Flannery: The nigger?
Lily: Not exactly the “N” word I’m looking for but, yeah go with nigger! Well she did all of the tasks perfectly. It’s almost sickening.
Flannery: Big deal, everyone else did well too! What use can she be?
Lily: Besides serving drinks?
Karen: Not a bad idea. We’ll let her in and then we can use her to our advantage. (Outside the door)
Marisa: (Thinking) So that’s all I am to these girls. (Tears up) The nigger, the black girl! (Wipes away tears) Don’t show any tears! You’re stronger than that. (In a computer classroom back at the high school)
Conway: I don’t think I got a good shot of the people who did this. (Plays footage)
Laura: It’s okay. Thanks to what my cousin said, there is no doubt in my mind that Tiffany and her brothers were behind this prank. I just need the final nail to seal their coffin shut. And that is video proof that it was them doing the prank.
Conway: You think we can find anything?
Laura: We have to try. WHOA! Freeze frame!
Conway: What’s wrong?
Laura: Wasn’t the person or persons doing this prank wearing a mask? Well look here, this one isn’t wearing a mask in this scene!
Conway: Huh? That’s Clyde without a mask on! Or is it Garret? Or could it be Billy? Ah, I can’t tell! All of those Go-Go’s look the same!
Laura: Zoom in on the shot! (Zooms in) Now play the shot from there! (Tiffany gets up and brings Clyde down)
Conway: We got it!
Laura: I’ll get Principal Oak! (In the front office)
Miss Agatha: Unbelievable! Scott, stop your blubbering and be a man! (Scott continues sobbing) Honestly, that man loves that car more than he loves his own wife!
Oak: Come on Miss Agatha. That car is his pride and joy! (The door opens) Huh?
Laura: Principal Oak, you have to come with me into the computer lab!
Oak: No can do Laura. I have millions of paper work to finish today.
Laura: It would only take a minute!
Oak: Is it important?
Laura: Yes! It’s about the prank today. We have video footage that shows no sight of Dawn doing any kind of damage.
Miss Agatha: Let’s see it Laura! (A little at the sorority house)
Misty: Marisa, where have you been?
Grace: Yeah, the higher-ups have been back for almost an hour now. You’re so lucky that they didn’t come in here and find you missing.
Marisa: I’ve been around.
Misty: You look a little down. Is everything okay?
Marisa: …Yeah…everything is fine.
Grace: You sure?
Marisa: Yeah, I’m good. (Over the intercom)
Karen: Attention ladies, please report to the main corridors for our final ceremony of initiation.
Grace: Well, this is it!
Misty: Hey remember, we’ll still be friends even if one got in and the other ones didn’t.
Marisa: …Right. (Downstairs)
Karen: Welcome ladies. Let me be the first to say that it’s been an honor meeting you all and getting to know each and every one of you. Through the past couple of days, I’ve noticed some who have risen to the occasion and some who have slipped through the cracks. Well tonight, we are going to acknowledge the ones who’ve shined above the rest. We have narrowed it down to eight of you ladies to join as a fellow sister. The first one is to a woman who’s shown her true colors…in more ways than one. Sister Marisa, please step forward. (Marisa walks up to them) Welcome Marisa. (She puts a pin on Marisa) Are you ready to begin your life as a sister?
Marisa: No.
Karen: What do you mean no?
Marisa: Well let me see. Let me say it again in Spanish if you don’t comprehend! No! Or let me say it in Italian! No, non farò parte della vostra associazione studentesca femminile voi femmina muta!
Lily: Now I know she said more than just “no” in that last statement!
Marisa: And I thought you were a dumb bimbo. Translation: No, I will not join your sorority, you dumb whore! And I’m going to tell you why I’m not going to join. I overheard your little conversation earlier. Yeah, that’s right! I did all of your ridiculous challenges and did them to the best of my abilities. But apparently you three don’t see that determination. All you three see is a black person and that’s it. Or in your case, all you see is a "nigger"! I will not stand for anyone to call me by that term. Especially from you three! (Misty gasps) As far as I'm concerned, you three are racists! Well I can easily tell you that black people are not useless. We are a very proud group of people who have made a lot of accomplishments. We were not put on this earth to serve drinks and be a boot-licker for ingrates like you! So you can take this pledge pin and shove it! (She takes the pin off and throws it on the ground) But before I go, I have one more thing to say to you three…FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, AND FUCK YOU! (She walks outside)
Karen: Sister Flannery, take Sister Marisa’s pledge pin and throw it in the fire place.
Flannery: Right away. (At Dawn’s house)
Johanna: Principal Oak, what brings you here?
Oak: I’m sorry to come here on short notice and not call ahead of time, but I had to talk to you and your daughter face-to-face. Where is she?
Johanna: She’s in her room. Dawn, get out here. (She comes out of her room)
Oak: First, I want to apologize to you Dawn. We should have listened to your side of the story when you said that you had nothing to do with the prank. Your friends Laura and Conway showed me a tape to prove your innocence. And that it was Tiffany Go-Go and her brothers!
Dawn: Huh?
Johanna: Did they confess to the crime?
Oak: Well we only caught one of the Go-Go’s, Clyde. He broke down and confessed to everything. He said that it was all their plan and that his sister Tiffany manipulated you into ditching class and give them masks to wear from the theatre.
Dawn: So…She was just using me so that she can pull off some prank and throw me under the bus? (Tears up) She didn’t care about me. I can’t believe what an idiot I am.
Oak: Dawn, you’re not the first person to be manipulated by another person. And I can’t tell you how many teens I know who do crazy things in order to fit in with a group. But my only advice is to use your good judgment when it comes to friends. Friends like Laura and Conway, who cared enough to help clear your good name.
Johanna: He’s right Dawn. You should be grateful to have friends like them.
Dawn: You’re right. (A little later outside the sorority house)
Marisa: Hmm…Looks like it’s turning into a party in there. I wonder if I should call the police and tell them that they have alcohol stashed in there.
Misty: That sounds like the Marisa I know!
Marisa: What’s up Misty?
Misty: When did you hear that conversation?
Marisa: A little bit before initiation. Misty, I’ve been called so many names in the past. I have been called a bitch, a nark, a skank, and the list just goes on and on. But when I heard them call me a nigger…it just made me snap.
Misty: Well, I’m just going to be honest. I don’t know how it feels to be called…that word. And I’m never going to know that feeling! If I get called that, it wouldn’t have the same effect as it would with you. And after your speech, I made a crucial decision. When Karen called me up to have me accept my sisterhood, I declined their offer.
Marisa: I thought you wanted to join!
Misty: And trust me, I did. But I told them that I would never join a group that is racist towards anybody.
Marisa: As long as you didn’t go off on them like I did. You know I went straight ghetto on those catty bitches!
Misty: And before I left I told them my loyalty is to my friends and that you are my best friend. And that you are more of a sister to me than my own sister Lily.
Marisa: Wow, I’m honored by that Misty. (Starts laughing) I can’t even imagine her facial expression when you told her that!
Misty: You totally missed it! That vein that pops out every time she gets angry looked like an anaconda. (Grace runs up)
Grace: Oh my God! Glad I caught up to you girls!
Marisa: Oh Grace, don’t tell me that you rejected their offer too.
Grace: What offer? Those fools didn’t accept me! Hey don’t worry. No one else inside made a speech telling the girls how stupid they are. Because all of the other girls who joined are shallow, rich, white girls! (They all start laughing)
Marisa: What would I do without you girls?
Misty: You’d be stuck with Marcus!
Marisa: True enough. But hey, screw the sorority!
Grace: Yeah, that’s right. Snooty white bitches! We don’t need them when we’ve got each other.
Misty: That’s right! (The next morning at the high school)
Brianna: Dawn, you’re back!
Wally: We’re so relieved!
Dawn: Well they dropped my suspension.
Brianna: Good! (Tiffany walks up)
Tiffany: Dawn?
Dawn: What do you want? (Nearby)
Laura: Oh no!
Tiffany: I can’t tell you how deeply sorry I am about the little misunderstanding.
Dawn: (Chuckles) Little misunderstanding? That’s a good one! You manipulated me to go along with your evil little plan. Not only that, you toyed with my emotions, and threw me under the bus to cover your own ass.
Tiffany: You’ve got it all wrong Dawn.
Dawn: I was wrong…for trusting YOU! I know who my real friends are at this school. And that’s why you’re getting the boot from school. Now you better make this quick because you’re not even supposed to be on school premises. (Tiffany growls)
Billy: Let’s go sis! We’re supposed to be cleaning out our lockers! (They walk away)
Laura: I’m proud of you Dawn. This is the first time I’ve actually seen you show some backbone.
Dawn: I guess. I can’t believe I fell for Tiffany’s evil game…I’m such an idiot!
Laura: No. I wouldn’t say idiot. Naïve maybe! I’m glad you’re back in school and not behind bars. Conway is glad too.
Dawn: He is? (Conway pops up behind her)
Conway: I am. (Dawn jumps) I’m really glad you’re back in school and out of trouble.
Dawn: Conway…Thank you. Thank you for helping me. (Conway blushes)
Conway: Oh…it’s really no trouble at all! I was just at the right place, at the right time.
Brianna: Huh? (Stares at Dawn) Mind telling me why you’re blushing? Please tell me you’re not into this pervert!
Conway: I’m not a pervert!
Brianna: If you’re not a pervert then why were you trying to peek in the girl’s locker room just the other day?
Conway: (Blushes) What the? That is not true!
Dawn: (Thinking) I’m very lucky to have such supportive friends. (Nearby)
Zoey: I’m glad.
Marley: Huh?
Zoey: I’m glad that Dawn didn’t do the crime.
Marley: But I thought you could care less.
Zoey: I may still be mad at her, but even I know she isn’t capable of pulling off a prank like that. So, I’m glad to see I was right. (At the cafeteria at the college)
Marcus: Wow, I wish I could have been there to see the carnage!
Tracey: I can’t believe they actually…
Marisa: I don’t want to talk about that part, thank you very much!
Tracey: Sorry about that!
Harley: You girls went through a lot didn’t you!
Misty: You don’t even know the half of it.
Marisa: Yeah, but for the most part, it’s been a pretty progressive couple of days. I was able to help my cousin out with her problem and I got a chance to take those catty bitches down a few pegs.
Marcus: Do you want me to put a flaming bag of dog crap on their front porch?
Misty: Don’t bother! By the time they put it out, the whole house would be up in flames.
Grace: You got that right. Those girls are about as bright as a three-watt! (They all laugh)

Marcus: Hell has frozen over and everything has gone crazy. Okay, maybe not everything! But Brock does have a girlfriend and we all know that it’s the sure sign of the apocalypse coming.
