"Izzy grab the popcorn for me" Kim instructs kindly sitting on the couch in the den room of the Hayvenhurst guest house.

"Anything else Madam" Izzy smirks sarcastically

"Umm-hmm. Maybe some pop in the icebox" Kim chimes in

The girls relax for the next few minutes and listen to Babyface while the lights are dim

Latoya walks in and wrap the throw blanket around her and lean back on the couch with a sad expression on her face. She keeps moving and huffing hoping someone ask...

"What's wrong, Toy?" Izzy says sitting on the floor with her arm on LaToya's knee.

"I don't wanna ruin movie night guys. I am just having a moment" She says trying to perk herself up

"Hey- stop. Spill it. Movie night is lowkey code for 'Girls Night'. Speaking of, is Brenda coming over?"

"Noo. She and Lionel had a fight and she wants to stay home. She is going through it. Hazel isn't coming either. Jermaine didn't tell her until an hour ago. Rebbie talked her out of going crazy on him."

"Why am I not surprised" Kim rolls her eyes

"Well if you must know-" LaToya starts...

"PARTY TIME IS ANYTIME AND ANYTIME IS PARTY TIME" Aliza comes in chanting with a food tray and Janet behind her with Brandi, Jackie's daughter.

Brandi runs over and hops on Izzy's neck and falls on Latoya laughing

"Finally, let's start the movie. Yall took long enough."

"Sorry. Bubbles made a mess in the kitchen and kept running when I tried cleaning him. I had to get MJ on him. He calmed down real fast." Aliza says putting the food tray on the huge coffee table in the middle of floor

"Are the brothers still in house? I need them to keep an eye out for the services company. They're coming to replace the candy cart." LaToya chimes in

"Yes. It's covered." Janet says being funny and use to Toy's takeover ways

LaToya doesn't respond sensing the annoyance in Janet's tone.

"Okay. Which movie tonight?" Aliza stands in front of everyone with the VHS tapes in her hands

"Dirty Dancing"

"Yes. I hear it was good."

"And Patrick Swayze is fineee"

Everyone gets quiet and stares at Izzy after her bold comment and bust out laughing.

"Oh wow. It's storming" Janet says "Turn the lights off"

"Damn it" Aliza swears

"What" everyone asks

"Hit the lights. The tapes is messed up. We got to watch something else. Darn...let's watch Purple Rain"

"YES" Kim and Janet screams

"I forgot Mother got that. She was so happy to get it since you wrote the song"

Aliza blushes. "Yes, I am so proud of the history it's making"

________ Meanwhile

Hayvenhurst Front House

"Please stop" Marlon laughs hysterically at Randy trying to moonwalk hitting the table behind him

Michael laughs on the sofa sitting beside Jermaine.

"Can someone tell Jackie to hurry with the popcorn. The movie is starting." MJ says giggling

"He's coming." Tito chimes in
