A little girl knocks on the door.

CALI’S SISTER

Cali! It’s for you!

Cali comes to the door and steps outside to talk to Kyler.

KYLER

I didn’t know you had a sister.

CALI

You didn’t ask. I had 2 I’m the youngest.

KYLER

I um need to talk to you about something.

CALI

Oh, um what’s up.

KYLER

I haven’t been completely honest with you.

CALI

Every girl’s favorite words.

KYLER

I haven’t been sober since the party, I lied to you and I tried to quit but I couldn’t. I wanted to tell you the truth because I really am quitting now and I want you to know I mean that. Fin told me he didn’t like lying to you and that I needed to be honest.

CALI

Oh, I see, so you’re only telling me this because Fin said you should. You think you would have ever told me if Fin didn’t think you should?

KYLER

I uh… I don’t know.

CALI

Wow.

KYLER

But Cali, I really like you, you’re really pretty. I don’t plan on ever lying to you again.

CALI

How do I know you’re telling the truth right now?

KYLER

Because I’d be a pretty shit boyfriend if I lied to you while during our promposal.

CALI

Promposal?

Kyler pulls out flowers.

KYLER

Fin helped me pick them out, I think he liked the color.

CALI

You got me Calliopes?

(Kal-lie-o-P’s)

KYLER

Will you go to prom with me.

CUT TO:

Fin and Kyler back at Fins house.

KYLER (CONT’D)

and said yes! Great call on the flowers bro!

FIN

Of course buddy, I hope you guys have fun.

KYLER

What do you mean? You’re not going to prom? It’s your senior year.

FIN

Yeah, I’ll be there, but I’ll be working.

KYLER

What are you talking about?

FIN

I got a gig, they needed a DJ for the prom and I love music, you know that, I thought it would be fun.

KYLER

Well, as long as you’re there so you can see me and Cali win king and queen.

FIN

Wouldn’t miss it for the world.

INT. PROM

Fin sets up his DJ booth for prom.

MR. BRADFORD

So, who forced you to do this Fin?

FIN

Nobody sir, I’m finally starting to do what I want, follow my heart like my dad says.

MR. BRADFORD

He must be a great guy.

Mr. Bradford walks away.

FIN

(Whispers)

Yeah, he was.

CUT TO:

Bart, Zeke, Ava, Ash, Kyler, and Cali. Get in the limo to head to prom.

ZEKE

Bart, I can’t believe you were able to find us a limo on such short notice.

BARTHOLOMEW

Yeah, I knew a guy, slipped him a 100 so he’ll let us keep it for the night, along with the driver. ALFRED!

ALFRED (TIM)

My name is not Alfred.

BARTHOLOMEW

Alfred Fetch my Ice chest please.

ALFRED (TIM)

(Sighs)

Very well.

Alfred carries the Ice chest and places it in the back seat of the limo.

ALFRED (TIM) (CONT’D)

It’s very heavy sir, are you sure you all should be drinking this much?

BARTHOLOMEW

We can handle ourselves Alfred can you raise the divider please.

The divider raises.

KYLER

Bart, I thought I told you I’m not drinking tonight, why did you bring so much alc.

BARTHOLOMEW

Who said anything about alcohol?

Bart opens the ice chest to reveal Fido wearing a tux with a bow tie.

CALI

There’s no way.

BARTHOLOMEW

I couldn’t just leave him home all night he gets lonely, he’ll be fine.

ASHER

Don’t penguins need it to be freezing cold?

BARTHOLOMEW

Wow, Ash, of all people, I expected you to be more cultured. Fido is clearly an African penguin, which thrives in much warmer temperatures than other penguins.

ZEKE

Yup that penguin is definitely African, I’m surprised you didn’t notice that Ash.

ASHER

(Panicking)

I uh- I don’t see color Zeke.
