CUT TO: WEST BEDROCK DISTRICT

INT. COURTYARD HANGOUT - MORNING

TOMI AND ANTOINETTE ARRIVE IN THE COURTYARD AT THE SAME TIME.

[Antoinette]

Hey, Tomi.

[Tomi]

Hey, hi, hello. I like how crisp the air feels this morning.

[Antoinette]

Yeah, it does feel good. Did you hear about what happened at the mall last night?

[Tomi]

I did something in a news feed about it.

[Antoinette]

They're saying that a bounty hunter is trying to track down some kind of pixie. We can never catch a break from the weird, can we?

[Tomi]

No, I guess not.

[Antoinette]

I'm one to talk though. A supervillain went to my last school and I didn't even know it. Not to even mention that moth monster. I guess this kind of thing can only happen in Bedrock.

[Tomi]

Yeah, this place is pretty crazy.

[Antoinette]

I wonder where Chowder is. I imagined that he'd be connected to you at the hip now that you're back.

[Tomi]

Hey, how long have you known Dray by the way?

[Antoinette]

Since middle school. Why?

[Tomi]

Did he look like he got into street fights back then too?

[Antoinette]

That's... complicated. You know how it can be with bullies and things like that. You have a rough go of it when you don't fit in and sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

[Tomi]

And it's just been like that ever since?

[Antoinette]

Ehh... sort of.

[Tomi]

Oh, okay.

[Antoinette]

I've got a question for you too.

[Tomi]

What's that?

[Antoinette]

Do you like denim?

[Tomi]

Yeah.

[Antoinette]

Follow me.

ANTOINETTE AND TOMI GO TO A SEWING STUDIO WHERE ANTOINETTE RETRIEVES A DENIM JACKET THAT SHE'S MADE.

[Tomi]

Whoa, you made that?

[Antoinette]

Yeah, girl. I'm nice with it. I think that it would go nicely with your outfit. Would you mind modeling it for me?

[Tomi]

Yeah, of course. Thanks for letting me try it out.

TOMI PUTS ON THE DENIM JACKET AND LOOKS AT HERSELF IN THE MIRROR.
