Prologue: Jayla, Linyear, and Ducki are all hanging with Shelei at her house for the day. They are listening to Shania Twain, specifically her song "Honey, I'm Home". All of a sudden, Deanna loudly bursts in through the front door, looking pissed. Jayla, Linyear, and Ducki look in her direction, startled. Shelei scowls, stands up and walks towards Deanna. Shelei and Deanna meet and circle each other, glaring, arms crossed while dangerously mouthing the words to the song (they can't help it - they both love Shania Twain). The song eventually stops, and so do they.

*at the Bolt residence*
Shelei: What the hell are you doin' here?!
Deanna: Why are all MY friends at YOUR house?!
Shelei: They're MY friends too!
Deanna: *turns* Guys, I KNOW I've asked you this many times before, but… WHY DO YOU WANNA HANG OUT WITH THAT LOSER?! *wildly*
Ducki: She's ma pal!
Jayla: Yeah! … What Ducki said!
Linyear: What's wrong with her?? I mean, yeah, her house is a bit… *looks around* … small, but -
Deanna: A BIT small?! A LOT SMALL!! *flails her wings around*
Ducki: Who cares about her house, anyway?? ME DON'T!
Shelei: Well, it ain't MY fault my dad's company isn't big time!
Deanna: Oh, well, OF COURSE it isn't YOUR fault! *rolls her eyes* It's Ducki's.
Ducki: WHAT?? Why do you hate me?!
Deanna: Calm down, Ducki. I was just trying to make a point to shit-brain over there. *crosses her wings and nods at Shelei*
Shelei: You didn't succeed. *dryly*
Deanna: OH, WHY DON'T YOU SHOVE IT?! *loud and shrilly* You didn't shove that pitchfork up your ass yet, ya know!!
Ducki: Who would even do tat?
Shelei: You?
Deanna: ME?! *looking CRAZED* Why, you little -
Shelei: I meant Ducki, you idiot.
Ducki: Yeah, SheShe's right - I probably would do someting like tat…
Deanna: Ducki, don't start getting those ideas...!! *turns back to Shelei* I knew you were talking to Ducki all along, you know.
Shelei: Uh-huh. *doubtfully*
Jayla: … Ummmm… *tightens her lips*
Linyear: … Ummmm… *shifting her eyes back and forth*
Ducki: … Ummmm… what's we all tinkin' ‘bout?
Shelei: Usa onlys one tinkin', Jar Jar!
Jayla: *giggles - for she understands the reference*
Ducki: What ta merciful monkeys?!?
Deanna: Well, I don't think I can stand another moment in this dump you call a house! Goodbye Jayla, Linyear, and Ducki. *turns and leaves - slamming the door behind her*
Shelei: Watch it! *hollers after her* I just fixed that last week!
Ducki: Uhh… speaking of dump… *runs to the bathroom*
Shelei: Good. Riddance. *stresses*
Ducki: BYE-BYE, DEANNA!! *yelling from the bathroom*
Shelei: Yes, “bye-bye” - go fuck your boyfriend Digger!
Linyear: Oooooh…
Jayla: *blinks, trying not to show any kind of amusement on her face* … I'm not sayin' nuttin’!
Ducki: *coming back from the bathroom already* Well, I got a ting or two to say to Deanna sometimes, but most of ta time she makes me happy… so shut up, SheShe! *his eyes suddenly bug out* Uhh... I was kiddin', honest...
Shelei: Yeah, like YOU don't lie? *raises her eyebrows*
Ducki: Uhhh… me no lie! I kid, t'ough.
Shelei: Baa-baa. I'm a sheep. *deadpan expression on her face*
Linyear: *giggles*
Ducki: What ta flying gorillas?!?
Linyear: You know - kid/baby goat, goat/sheep?? *raises and lowers her arms back and forth* Duh?!
Ducki: Goat and sheep ain't ta same!
Shelei: Der simiyar, Ucki. *mockingly* (Translation: "They're similar, Ducki.")
Ducki: You hurt my Ducki feelings.
Shelei: *rubs her mouth with the back of her hand* It's really easy to do, ya know. No talent needed.
Jayla: *had been silent for the past few moments, thinking* … Do you think it's really true, though?
Shelei: What's true?
Jayla: About Digger...
Linyear: Oh yeah! *as she remembers* Does he actually like Deanna??
Shelei: It's kind of obvious when you look at how he acts around her. The dude doesn't hide it very well. Don't know what he sees in that bitch, though. *scowls*
Linyear: Oooh… wow…
Jayla: … What do you guys wanna do now?? *changing the subject to lighten the mood*
Linyear: Oh, umm… we could, I dunno... *looks at Shelei* … dye our hair! Yeah! … Or feathers! *adds hastily to Ducki*
Shelei: Sure! Do you wanna, Jay?
Jayla: Your washable dye, right?
Shelei: Yup! S'all I have.
Jayla: Yeah, okay then! Let's do it! *smiling excitedly* Can I… *thinks* … can I have some blue streaks along with my pink?? I bet that would look awesome - and my sister Siaera would approve, I'm sure!
Shelei: Anything at all, Jay!
Ducki: I wanna be a pink duck, like Deanna!!
Shelei: No. *bluntly* Flat-out no. One reason is there's not enough dye for that, Ducki.
Jayla: And I don't think Shelei wants to make you look like Deanna…
Linyear: AND, people would think you're a girl or something.
Ducki: But I WANNA be a girl!! *pauses* … I didn't say tat.
Shelei: I certainly hope so.
Jayla: *giggles* Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get started!
Shelei: Okay! *heads to the bathroom* I'll do my hair last. Let's see… I think you should have gold and green streaks, Lin, and Jayla wants blue, hmm… what about Ducki-o? *digging out some hair-dying supplies*
Ducki: I want pink and purple streaks on my head!!!
Shelei: Okay, Ducki-o. *heads to her bedroom with the dye supplies*
Jayla & Linyear & Ducki: *follow Shelei*
Jayla: What combo you doin', Shelei? *watches with interest as Shelei gets everything set up*
Shelei: Orange and silver. New one.

*later*
Ducki: I look bee-yoo-ti-ful! *looking into a mirror*
Shelei: I'll take that as a compliment. Heh.
Jayla: My hair looks soooo nice too! *runs her hand through her ponytail*
Shelei: Heh, heh.
Linyear: I love mine! *also playing with her hair*
Shelei: *grinning proudly* Heh, heh, HEH!

*a few moments later - someone is knocking on the door*
Shelei: I'll get it, guys! *goes over to the door, opens it - IMMEDIATELY slams the door closed* Or Ducki can! *raises her hands and walks away*
Ducki: Okeydokey doodles! *waddles over and opens the door* HEYO, DEANNA!!
Jayla & Linyear: *jaws drop - they exchange glances*
Deanna: *invites herself inside again* Where is that rude lil' imbecile?!
Shelei: That "rude lil' imbecile" is standing right there. *points to Deanna with her middle finger*
Ducki: Gasp! SheShe, you used ta wrong finger!
Deanna: No - she used the right finger, but in the wrong direction.
Shelei: Neither. *“sweetly”*
Deanna: *gives Shelei a dirty look* Butthead.
Shelei: Pardon? *pretending not to have heard*
Deanna: You heard me... you're a BUTTHEAD!! *hollers*
Linyear: Deanna, you left the door open - it's giving me the chills! *holding her arms*
Deanna: I got the chills too, but it's not from the outside world. It's from that THING! *she turns and slams the door behind her*
Ducki: “Ting”? You mean tat window? *points* Door? *points* Tat bottle of dye? *points* Be pacific!
Deanna: I mean Shelei, you dorkbrain - and it's SPECIFIC, not PACIFIC.
Ducki: Same ting!
Deanna: *huffs at Shelei* Your hair, ONCE AGAIN, looks idiotic, Shelei.
Shelei: Say, didn't I tell you about Digger? *a smug smile on her face*
Deanna: Digger? Don't change the subject, you loser! Who cares about Digger??
Shelei: YOU should. Digger's got a cru-ush... *sing-songy* ... on yo-ou. *sing-songy again*
Deanna: *jerks back - her eyes bugging RIGHT out* WHAT?!?
Shelei: Aww, you're so happy! How sweet! *like she's talking to a little kid*
Deanna: HAPPY?! NO!!! What??? I SO ain't happy!! I'm... SHOCKED!! *looking absolutely RATTLED*
Shelei: You're so overjoyed that you're in shock!
Deanna: I can't believe it, finding out something like this from SHELEI of all people... this is HUMILIATING!! *grabs her head*
Ducki: What ta chirping chickens?!? How could tat be so humiliating?? It's better ten Winlo ta nerd having a crush -
Deanna: EWW! *screws up her face* Dee-skust-ing!!
Shelei: Lin, she just insulted your boyfriend! *teasingly*
Linyear: Ewww, *with a wrinkled nose* and YOU'RE going out with Piggo!
Shelei: Like THAT would ever happen!
Deanna: *glares at Shelei* I take crushes VERY seriously… and I'm not asking Shelei this... uh... *shifts her eyes* ... Jayla! What do you think of Digger?
Jayla: Oh! *surprised* Um, well… he seems like a very nice and friendly guy, I guess!
Deanna: Okay. But would YOU date him??
Jayla: *stiffens - she quickly shakes her head* No, no! Lord, no! *hastily* … Not personally, anyway!
Deanna: Well, the wise words of Jayla have been spoken. *pauses* Kinda. What about you, Lin?
Linyear: Hmm… he seems funny, and nice, and cute I suppose. Like, “puppy dog” cute! But I'D never go out with him. Not my type!
Deanna: Well, that's Linyear's opinion… hey, but wait a minute! *looks back at Shelei* How do you even KNOW he likes me??
Shelei: I'm not blind, you know. He looks at you in class like this. *rests her head in her hand, a dreamy expression on her face*
Deanna: *starts stammering* H-he could be doin' that because... b-because…!
Ducki: 'Cause he's an idiot?
Linyear: Among many things he may be, Digger's not an idiot. I think.
Deanna: *takes a sharp breath in - stares daggers at Shelei* Digger does NOT like me, Shelei!!!
Shelei: Watch him in class on Monday. *calmly* You'll see.
Deanna: No way!!
Ducki: Yes way!!
Shelei: Go Ducki!
Deanna: Whatever!! *throws her wings up in frustration* I'm leaving - bye Jayla, Linyear, and Ducki again! *turns on her heel, leaves and slams the door behind her again*
Jayla & Shelei & Linyear & Ducki: *wince*

*another hour later - someone is knocking on the door again*
Shelei: Not again!
Jayla: *frowns* If Deanna hates you so much, why does she keep coming over here??
Ducki: It's someting to ponder over! Hmmm… *thinks… sorta*
Shelei: Like you're gonna get very far!
Linyear: I'll go let Deanna in.
Shelei: Whatever.
Linyear: *opens the door* Hey, Deanna!
Deanna: Hi, Linyear. *steps inside, then she clears her throat* I have an announcement to make…
Shelei: What? You're leaving this planet?
Deanna: No, you moron - YOU should be though. Anyway -
Shelei: You're goin’ out with Digger, you Martian?
Deanna: NO!! SHUT UP!! *hollers*
Shelei: I think I should - she might blow. *whispers to Jayla* I don't want Deanna guts all over the place.
Jayla: *giggles*
Deanna: *looks sternly at Jayla and Shelei*
Jayla: Sorry, Deanna - I couldn't help it. *chuckling*
Deanna: Oh, I forgive you, Jayla, but never Shelei. NEVER!!
Shelei: Then we're even! *false cheerily*
Linyear: What about your announcement?
Deanna: Well, dear Linyear, as I was about to say before I was rudely interrupted by that Loouglywerd - I am going to invite you guys to -
Shelei: A kissin’ party at Digger's? No thanks.
Deanna: Eww!! HELL NO!!! *rattled once more*
Shelei: Heh. It's too easy to make you mad. *smugly*
Linyear: You're crazy.
Ducki: SheShe or DeDe?
Linyear: I meant Shelei, but both of them come to think of it.
Shelei: *sticks her tongue out at Linyear*
Deanna: *sighs testily* As I was SAYING - I am going to invite you guys to come to a movie with me.
Jayla: Who? All of us?
Deanna: Let's see… you, Linyear, Ducki, and… who am I forgetting?? *pretends to think* Hmmm… *flashes a malicious glare at Shelei* NO ONE.
Ducki: BLAHOOOOOO!! *flails excitedly* WHOOPIWANCAKES!!
Shelei: EXCUSE ME?! *offended* You've been here THREE times, and you're not inviting ME?! You are SO evil!!
Jayla: *frowns at Shelei, then turns to Deanna* She's right, you know, Deanna. You should be a little bit nicer and invite Shelei too. This is HER house after all.
Shelei: I QUITE AGREE!! *fired up*
Deanna: Uhh, why would you WANNA come?? *raises her eyebrow at Shelei* Like, I GUESS you can tag along, but I didn't think you would want to. Since it's me doing the inviting.
Shelei: What movie?
Deanna: “Christmas with the Kranks”.
Jayla: Oh, coolio! *smiles* Lin and I wanted to see that one, right Lin?
Linyear: Yeah!
Ducki: BLAHOOOOOO!! WHOOPIWANCAKES!!
Shelei: Ducki, will you be quiet? *tiredly* And okay, Deanna. I'll come too.
Jayla: You two have to promise not to argue though. *shifts her eyes between them both*
Shelei: *crosses her arms* Only if SHE does.
Deanna: *sighs* Fine… as long as you don't mention the D word.
Shelei: Dodo? Digger? DUCKI?
Deanna: *straightfaced* All three.

*later, at the movie theatre*
Jayla: Yeah! Let's go to the top row! *excited*
Linyear: Then no one can kick our chairs!
Jayla & Shelei & Linyear & Ducki & Deanna: *dart up the stairs - but then stop abruptly*
Jayla: Oh no! That row is already filled!
Linyear: It's A LOT busier tonight than I thought it would be!
Deanna: There are five chairs in the next row that are empty. *points*
Ducki: *looks at the people in the top row… he spots someone familiar* Hey, tat looks like...
Jayla & Linyear & Deanna: *all look up at the top row - they jerk back in unpleasant shock* MENEERA?!
Jayla: AND her gang!!
Shelei: *looks* Joy. *dully*
Ducki: Our worst nightmare is coming true! *flaps his wings in a panic* AHHHHHH!
Deanna: Pipe down, duck!! *snaps*
Shelei: Ducki, it's only YOUR worst nightmare. Mine's YOU getting a better grade than ME.
Jayla: Well, come on, guys - let's get those seats all together in the next row before someone else does!
Jayla & Shelei & Linyear & Ducki & Deanna: *start heading up the stairs towards their desired seats*
Digger: *walks in with his family, looks up at the seating… sees Deanna walking up the stairs - his eyes widen*
Linyear: Oh! *stops walking* I'll go get everyone Kid Packs! Fav pop everyone?
Jayla: Root Beer for LIFE! Whoop-whoop! *giggles*
Shelei: Mello Yello, Lin.
Deanna: Diet Coke.
Ducki: DIET Coke?!? Deanna, you're weird!
Deanna: You make a good point, Ducki - I'll take a water instead, please.
Ducki: What ta squishy pickles?!? *to Deanna, then looks at Linyear* I'll have a rooty beery too, Linny!
Jayla: You need any help, Lin?
Linyear: Actually, I should be okay! I saw Bryce here when we came in - he'll get us the discount and help me carry them in, I'm sure!
Shelei: Who?
Jayla: Linyear's older cousin on her dad’s side. He's an adult and like, owns a bunch of movie theatres and manages this one.
Shelei: Ah. A richie. *grumbles*
Linyear: Save me a seat, Jay! *grins*
Jayla: Right beside me, of course! *grins back at her*
Linyear: *goes back down the stairs to get Kid Packs*
Jayla & Shelei & Ducki & Deanna: *go and sit in their seats*
Digger: *sits in the row in front of Deanna with his family*
Jayla: *puts her coat on the seat next to her to save for Linyear, humming quietly… all the while trying not to make eye contact with Meneera, Xerann, and the rest…*

*a few moments later*
Xerann: *notices who is sitting in front of them - smirks, then whispers to Meneera*
Meneera: *sees them - she scoffs* Ew. What are YOU losers doing at this loser movie??
Jayla: *stiffens up at the sound of Meneera's voice - she quickly glances behind her* If you think this is such a loser movie, why are YOU guys at it too?
Meneera: Shut it, Starlight. *nastily*
Jayla: *wrinkles her nose at Meneera, then faces front again*
Linyear & Bryce: *return, pass the Kid Packs down the row until Linyear just has her own*
Linyear: Thanks, Bryce!
Jayla: *waves at him* Yeah, thanks!
Bryce: Anytime! Enjoy the movie! *waves and leaves*
Meneera: Ooh, Moonlight - was that your boyfriend?? *grins evilly* Looked a bit on the OLD side to me!
Linyear: Ew!! He's my cousin, idiot!! *glares at Ling and her gang as she makes her way down the aisle to sit beside Jayla*
Jayla: *looks at Linyear and rolls her eyes*
Piggo: *leans forward and starts to flip off Shelei's hat*
Shelei: *grabs it and whacks him in the face with it* Take that, butcher meat! *hits him five times*
Piggo: Yow-yowww! Eeeeeee - *squeals in pain*
Xerann: Yo, take it easy there, hedgehog, or I'LL start whackin' YOU. *aggressively towards Shelei*
Shelei: Back off, Xinders - you could use a metal imprint too.
Meneera: Bolt, don't talk back to my girl Xerann, or you'll be finding yourself head first in a toilet.
Shelei: For your info, Ling, I'm OLDER than Xinders, and YOU'D be checkin' out the toilet first.
Meneera: “Older”? Should I give a shit about who's older?? *straightens up* She hangs with ME, so she's HIGHER UP in status than any of YOU losers are. And you wouldn't have the NERVE to put me head first into a toilet, Bolt, cause you'd be getting it afterwards!
Xerann: You tell her, Meneera!!
Jayla: Oh dear… *sighs tiredly*
Linyear: What's she mean "status"?? *whispers to Jayla* Just ‘cause she's rich?? It ain't ‘cause she's popular, ‘cause everyone HATES her!
Jayla: *nods solemnly* Yeah, I know. She's just messed up in the head…
Shelei: *still shit-talking with Meneera as Jayla and Linyear are whispering* Who's talkin' nerve, girl? You wouldna risk that scrawny thing you call an ass to so much as go to a rave. And if you did, you'd NEVER get drunk.
Xerann: What the shittin' fuck you talkin' 'bout??
Meneera: Bolt, if you're saying that YOU get DRUNK at RAVES, then I can get you into trouble! *obnoxiously* My dad's the Chief of Police and if he hears this, he'll be soooo mad - he'll have you arrested in two seconds flat!
Shelei: Did I SAY I get drunk? I said YOU'D never get drunk, not that I do. And your dad's not the chief bear, Ling.
Christima: *yanks on Linyear's hair*
Linyear: *turns around and glares at her*
Christima: *looking away*
Linyear: I know you did that! *hisses*
Meneera: Oh yeah, sure, Bolt... of course YOU would NEVER LIE. *sarcastically, rolling her eyes* And if you don't believe me about my dad, then you can go fucking shove it up your ass!!
Deanna: Go Meneera! *pauses* … Uh, I didn't say that.
Shelei: *leans forward and looks down the row* Shut the fuck up, Deanna, you lil' turd.
Meneera: Oooh, swearing. *smirking* Funny... you hardly ever swear at me. Scared? You should be.
Ducki: No, she ain't! SheShe's BWAVE!
Meneera: *starts kicking at Ducki's chair*
Shelei: I don't swear at you much, Ling, 'cause it might hurt your dainty lil' ears. I saw you with your mom and she's, like, a major snot and I KNOW you get pampered. And you were being NICE to her. *devilish grin*
Christima: *yanks on Linyear's hair again*
Linyear: *whirls around* STOP, CHRISTIMA!!
Christima: What-the-hell-ever. *lazily*
Meneera: I'm nice to my mom ‘cause she gives me whatever I want, ‘cause we're RICH. YOUR mom, on the other hand, is probably a disgusting, dirty, nasty BITCH!
Jayla: *cringes* Oh no… *under her breath*
Ducki: I know where tis is goin'… I tink.
Shelei: *snaps - not holding back* You fuckin' bitch, my mom's dead - YOURS is a friggin' slut so shut the fuck up!!! *stiffly faces forward again*
Xerann & Christima: Ooooooooh… *quietly*
Ducki: Oh dear… I knew where tat was going… I tink.
Meneera: *leans back, looking satisfied* Well, well… looks like I've found your weakness. And I was starting to think you HAD none. *cackles*
Deanna: You can't cackle as well as Shelei.
Ducki: Ducki! *pauses* Oops! Deanna, you didn't say witch!
Meneera: Duckett, do you think I give a fucking shit about how I laugh?
Linyear: Bug off, ALL of you - *throws a particularly annoyed glare at Christima* - or I'll get you thrown out. My cousin owns this place, you bitches.
Meneera: *kicks HARD at Shelei's head with her boot*
Shelei: *buckles forward*
Jayla: *gasps, her eyes wide* Shelei!
Shelei: *spins around and spits on Meneera - turns back around with red and swollen eyes*
Jayla: *is about to ask if Shelei is okay - notices her clearly distressed but silent face… decides to leave her be*
Meneera: Eww…!! *rubs the spit off her clothes, her face screwed in disgust… she leans over to Xerann* Looks like Bolt was crying.
Xerann: I know, what an ass-fuckin' crybaby. I bet her mother died when she was young… who cries about their mom years after her death?? Get the shittin’ hell over it!
Meneera: Exactly! *rubs the spit into Ducki's hair directly in front of her*
Ducki: *tilts his head up* Is tere a leak in here?
Digger: *slowly turns around, starts peering at Deanna as stealthily as he can*

*a couple minutes later*

Shelei: *catches sight of Digger - she pokes Ducki next to her*
Ducki: *jumps in his seat* What ta pie-eating armadillos?!?
Shelei: Digger! *whispers to him, pointing - she bursts out giggling*
Ducki: *sees - starts to laugh too (his awkward-sounding, nasally laugh)*
Jayla: *notices - tries to act natural and not laugh with them*
Digger: *his cheeks blushing as he stares at Deanna*
Deanna: *hears laughter - she turns and raises her eyebrow at both Shelei and Ducki… looks to where they are looking*
Digger: *turns around quickly - pretends to be watching the pre-show*
Deanna: Who the hell was that? *to Linyear beside her*
Shelei & Ducki: *still laughing*
Linyear: Dunno, but it looked like -
Shelei: A DOG!
Ducki: WOOFIE WOOF-WOOF!
Shelei & Ducki: *howl with laughter*
Linyear: *gives both Shelei and Ducki a strange look… then she realizes* Oooh! *whispers to Jayla* Psst... I think it's Digger!
Jayla: *grins at her* Yup, it is!
Jayla & Shelei & Linyear & Ducki: *LAUGH*
Digger: *… slowly turns around and gazes at Deanna again…*
Deanna: *catches him this time* WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!?
Digger: *hastily looks forward again*
Jayla & Shelei & Linyear & Ducki: AhahaHAHAHAHA…!!

*a few moments later, the movie starts*
Meneera & Xerann & Christima: *purposefully kick the chairs in front of them - where Jayla and the rest are sitting*
Jayla: *sighs, annoyed* Okay, I admit it - I REALLY regret our seating choices. *whispers to Linyear*
Linyear: *whispers back* If they keep it up, I'll go get Bryce!
Ducki: *after several more moments pass by* Can't… take… chair… kicking… ANYMORE! *swiftly takes the cover off his pop, puts it in the cup holder on the armrest of the chair* BACK OFF, BLONDIE!!

Meneera: What the f -
Ducki: *pushes up the armrest FAST - pop spills all over Meneera*
Meneera: *shrieks in disgust - she abruptly stops kicking the chair*
Xerann & Christima: Meneera!! *both horrified*
Jayla & Linyear: *see - they look at each other in amazement*
Linyear: … Maybe I won't have to get Bryce!
Jayla: Go Ducki!
Xerann & Christima: *scowling - they kick the chairs harder to avenge Meneera*
Ducki: Hey, Xerann and Christima, if you guys don't stop - *grabs Jayla's drink* - YOU guys get ta same!
Xerann & Christima: *both recoil back in their seats - stop kicking the chairs*
Jayla: Eeep!! *eyes wide* Ducki, NO!! That's MY drink!! *snatches it back from him*
Shelei: Way to go, Ducki-o, now you have nothing to drink!
Ducki: Oh quackers!
Shelei: Quiet! *bops him on the head with her own drink*
Ducki: OW! *rubs his noggin* Whoopiwooswoos!
Shelei: Isn't it “whoopiwancakes”?
Ducki: Not when I'm hurt.
Shelei: Ah.
Jayla: *giggles quietly at them, takes a sip of her root beer and then resumes watching the movie*

*later, after the movie ends*
Jayla & Shelei & Linyear & Ducki & Deanna: *exit the theatre, linger in the hallway off to the side, talking*
Meneera & Gang: *go up to Jayla and the rest*
Meneera: I DESPISE you all! *still damp and sticky*
Jayla: Oh well! We don't care! *fake grin*
Xerann: Yeah? *sneers* Well, WE - *jerks her head towards Christima and Piggo* all hate YOUR shit-asses too!! *glares at Jayla*
Jayla: *her “grin” transitions into a tight-lipped “smile” as she looks back at Xerann*
Shelei: *just glares at Meneera*
Piggo: *sniffles* She hurt me, Meneerie. *points at Shelei* Beat 'er up!!
Meneera: *rounds on Piggo* I would just LOVE to any other day, but YOU need to get a hold of yourself! Buck up! Stop your childish whining!! *her voice suddenly turns sweet* You understand, don't you, Piggo…?
Piggo: *sniffles again* I... guess... so...
Jayla: You're SO encouraging and a great friend, Ling. *sarcastically* ALL of you are, really. *glances around at all four of them, but means that specifically as a jab at Xerann*
Xerann: *scowls nastily at Jayla*
Meneera: I know, aren't I? *her voice “sweet” again*
Jayla: *rolls her eyes*
Meneera & Gang: *leave*
Jayla: What a chicken. *mutters to herself*
Digger: *leaving with his family… he bumps into Deanna* 
Deanna: *stumbles - she looks at who bumped into her*
Digger: Oh… u-uh… um, 'scuse me. *awkwardly, gazing at her*
Deanna: *glaring at him* Uh, you can leave now, ya know! *irritably*
Digger: Uh-huh… s-see ya at school. *leaves*
Shelei: … *bursts out laughing* Ahahahaha…!!
Deanna: *narrows her eyes after Digger* You're askin' for it. *under her breath*
Ducki: See? He likes ya!
Deanna: Oh, he's probably just being friendly! We've known Digger since elementary school, remember??
Shelei: *chuckling still* Uh-huh…! *doubtfully*
Deanna: Well, it's TRUE!! *scowls at Shelei*
Jayla: *smirks briefly* So, as I was saying before THEY showed up - *referring to Meneera and her gang* - did you all like the movie?
Linyear: Yeah!
Shelei: No. Yes. No. Yes. *shrugs* I dunno.
Ducki: It funny when tat big fat man farted!
Deanna: *recoils* WHAT?!?
Jayla: That wasn't even IN the movie! *says with wide eyes*
Shelei: I think he meant the guy two rows down from us.
Deanna: Oh yeah… I thought I smelled something rotten partway through the movie... ew!! *shudders, completely grossed out*

END?
END!
