A Little Romance

Kimmy: [runs into D.J. and Stephanie's room excitedly] Stop the homework!

D.J.: But if I stop, you won't have anything to copy.

Kimmy: Well, this is more important. How do you feel about Michael Monfort?

D.J.: He's OK, I guess.

Kimmy: Well, I heard from Tom Altobello who sits next to the Epstein twins that Michael Monfort likes you.

D.J.: Are you serious? He's so cute.

Kimmy: But I thought he was just okay.

D.J.: That was before I knew he liked me. Are you sure he likes me?

Kimmy: He wants you to meet him tomorrow after school at the bike racks.

D.J.: Is this a trick?

Kimmy: If I'm lying, I will never go shopping again.

D.J.: He really does like me. [She goes into an ecstatic faint onto her bed.]

[Michael and D.J. are meeting each other for the first time, and he has a gift for her.]

Michael: You want this? It's a friendship bracelet.

D.J.: Oh, yeah, sure. Thanks. It's really neat. [She puts it on.]

[As the camera cuts to a wide shot, the whole school is witness to this moment as they emerge from the bushes.]

Kimmy: Way to go, D.J. We have a boyfriend.

Stephanie: It's about time.

[After the break, a forlorn D.J. sits on her bed, moping.]

Stephanie: [enters the bedroom] Hi, D.J. How come your boyfriend left so soon?

D.J.: I don't have a boyfriend.

Stephanie: Did he dump you?

D.J.: We broke up. Just forget it. I want to be alone. [She gathers up all of Stephanie's belongings.] Here's your sleeping bag, your pajamas, and your pillow. Go sleep with Michelle.

Stephanie: [as she is pushed out the door by D.J.] But– But– But– But– But– But– [But... D.J. has completely pushed her out and slammed the door in her face.] Aren't you forgetting something? [D.J. reopens the door and throws Mr. Bear out before slamming the door again.] How rude. [She picks him up and carries him with the rest of her stuff on the way to Michelle's room.]

[The guys' comparison of D.J. to the Ugly Duckling has caused her to lock herself in the bathroom, as Stephanie attempts to get back to her room.]

Stephanie: Oh good, my room's open. [She goes in and puts Mr. Bear down.]

Becky: [knocks on the door] D.J.? It's just Becky. Do you wanna come out so we can talk?

Stephanie: [as she goes back to Michelle's room] Forgot my stuff.

[D.J. opens the bathroom door and walks out.]

Becky: Come on, sweetheart. Let's go in your room.

[They do just that and close the door. Suddenly, Stephanie emerges from Michelle's room with the rest of her bedding, and can't believe what she sees. She knocks on the door. The door opens and D.J. throws Mr. Bear out for the second time tonight before the door is closed again.]

Stephanie: Sorry, Mr. Bear. You've had a rough night.

Becky: I got a big bottle of peroxide [to change her hair to blonde].

D.J.: Did it work?

Becky: It turned my hair orange. I looked like in a miniskirt.

D.J.: Howdy who?
