[Dylan] Mom I'm gonna be late for my lessons can you take me.

I come running upstairs ready for the day not realizing the actual time.

[Mom] Dylan it's 3 am.

[Dylan] What? Oh. Well then, I'm just gonna sit here for a few hours then.

I grab an orange off the counter sitting at the table as Ramona then comes walking downstairs still in her pajamas and sits also at the table.

[Ramona] Good morning. Good evening. Whatever it is. How you doing?

[Dylan] It's 3 am.

Kimmy's reading the mail when she screams startling everyone.

[Aunt Steph] What?

[Mom] What happened?

[Kimmy] Ramona! Letter! School!

[Fernando] I am also allergic to pineapples, almonds, jazz... Fine. Let me see why Kimmy's freaking out.

Fernando then takes the paper and proceeds to scream also.

[Mom] What? What?

[Fernando] Ramona! Letter! School!

Ramona also screams once she sees the paper.

[Aunt Steph] Enough with the screaming. Would somebody read the letter?

[Ramona] It's from the San Francisco School of the Performing Arts. Oh, I got in!

[Fernando] Oh, all our hard work paid off.

[Kimmy] All of the carpools.

[Fernando] And the dance camps.

[Kimmy] And the recital costumes.

[Fernando] Our dance dreams are finally coming true!

[Ramona] Um. Guys, I'm over here.

[Fernando] Ramona, this is not about you. Oh, yes, it is! Congratulations.

[Dylan] Congratulations Ramona, make sure this is where you want to go for sure. Ok.

[Ramona] I will. I'm gonna go tour it later.

[Dylan] I'm going back downstairs, it's too early to be up yet.

~Time Skip~

I made myself some toast with a cut up apple sitting at the table eating. Tommy's playing with Cosmo on the floor and Kimmy and Fernando are conversing when Stephanie comes in.

[Aunt Steph] Is Cosmo gonna be ok, Dr. Tommy?

[Tommy] All better. Tommy

[Kimmy] So, Stephanie, have you noticed any side effects from the hormone shot yet?

[Aunt Steph] No, I'm great.

[Fernando] Really? Because Kimmy tells me you may experience nausea, mood swings, sudden unexplained rage...

[Aunt Steph] Fernando, I told you I am fine!

Aunt Stephanie then throws her books to the ground.

[Aunt Steph] I am so sorry. I don't know where that came from.

[Fernando] Well, maybe it was the hormones.

[Aunt Steph] I know where it came from! Whew— I'm... I'm sorry. I—

[Dylan] Can you seriously not read social cues? L

Stephanie then walks away and Ramona comes in.

[Ramona] Hey guys.

[Kimmy] There's my tiny dancer.

Ramona's phone starts ringing.

[Ramona] That's weird, it's SaFSPA. Hello? Yes, this is Ramona. Wait, what? This is so unfair. How could you do this to me? Thanks for ruining my life!

Ramona then hangs up her phone.

[Fernando] Well, is it good news or bad?

[Dylan] You really have no idea about social cues.

[Ramona] They said there's been a mix-up, that there isn't a spot for me after all.

[Kimmy] This is completely unacceptable.

[Fernando] How can they do this to you?

[Ramona] Looks like I'm doomed to a life of regular high school.

[Fernando] Oh, I feel awful.

[Kimmy] Me too.

Aunt Stephanie then starts crying.

[Aunt Steph] Why do we even bother living? We're just ants marching in a line that can be stepped on at any time.

[Kimmy] Stephanie, are you ok?

[Aunt Steph] Yeah. Yeah, sure. I'm fine. Why? You guys are the weird ones.

Aunt Stephanie then heads for the living room and I head down to my room now being finished eating.
