Pilot 2

Ricky puts the Jackson five on the record player before turning to his friends. "We got this one" he says dapping up each one of his friends while his sister in the back just shakes her head at their antics and destiny watches .  "That I know wrong from right" they sang in unison and then groaned. "Come on man" Ralph groans out to Ricky. "Stop guys this isn't right" mike says annoyed. "Yeah you guys sound terrible" destiny adds in making peanut chuckle. "I'm not gonna get up there and look stupid" mike says looking at his friends. "We don't look stupid" Bobby responds back. "Yeah we do people gon laugh at us" Ralph admits. "They ain't gonna laugh" Bobby says. "Yeah right Bobby they already laughed at you. They will laugh at yall " Destiny says. Suddenly, Ricky's brother walks in, curiosity etched on his face as he leans against the doorframe. "What's goin' on?" he asks, his tone teasing. "Man, we practicing for the next talent show," Bobby blurts out, causing Ricky's brother to burst into laughter, shaking his head in disbelief. "Wait, y'all supposed to be the next, uh, Jackson Five or something?" he asks, an amused smirk spreading across his lips. "Why don't you just leave us alone? Go in the room or something. No one asked you to come out here," Ricky mutters, crossing his arms defensively, his annoyance clear.

"Nobody asked me to come out here? Look, this is our house. I ain't gotta go nowhere. Y'all little dudes wanna practice? Go ahead, practice," Ricky's brother retorts, sitting in the couch urging them on causing Ricky to roll his eyes. "Let me ask y'all something... y'all serious about winning? What you need to do is get a manager and get y'all group together," Peanut suggests, raising an eyebrow as she glances at her little brother, who looks confused. "Peanut is right. Let's face it, y'all suck and have two left feet," Destiny adds, crossing her arms and giving them a pointed look, her lips curling into a smirk.

"At least we can sing!" Bobby fires back, throwing his hands up defensively."Well, I can do both, so..." Destiny snaps, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "Okay Ms. Know it all, how about you teach us?" Bobby throws out, looking hopeful. Destiny raises an eyebrow, weighing the idea before nodding, intrigued. "Fine" Destiny says as she gets up and faces them. "We ain't even that serious," Mike insists, shrugging it off as he leans against the wall. "Oh yes, we are! I want that money," Bobby interrupts, his eyes sparkling with determination as he gestures dramatically.

.....

Later that day, the group gathers in front of a car parked in the alleyway. Bobby leans against the vehicle, a serious look on his face. "When Mr. Brooke comes out, don't get scared," he warns, glancing at the others. "Ain't nobody scared," Ricky replies, his tone dismissive, which earns him a sideways glance from Bobby. "Just let me do all the talking, alright?" Mike interjects, trying to take charge. Destiny shakes her head, unimpressed. "Actually, I'll do it. You guys shut up while I work my magic," Destiny says, pulling her hands out of her pockets and stepping forward confidently.

"You ain't our mother," Bobby retorts, earning nods of agreement from the others. "Would you shut up? You want to sing and be famous, right? Then learn how to shut your damn mouth," Destiny snaps, turning her attention toward the door. "Man, whatever," Bobby mumbles, crossing his arms.

Just then, a man walks out of the building with a woman on his arm. The guys instinctively duck behind the car, hoping to remain unnoticed. "Go, Des," Mike urges, pushing her gently. As Destiny walks toward the man, he leans in to kiss the woman, and she cringes at the sight.

"Mr. Brooke Payne, right? The manager of the Untouchables?" Destiny asks, as she approaches.Brooke glances both ways before responding. "Might be... why? Who's asking?" he questions, sizing her up. Destiny clears her throat before answering. "Well, my friends and I ," she says, gesturing for the others to come over. "Want to start their own singing group, and they need all the help they can get. I figured since you managed the Untouchables and they're good, hopefully, you can make them good," she explains, as Brooke shakes his head.

"I don't work with kids," Brooke denies flatly, his gaze shifting away. "Hold up! We could be good, though. We got potential!" Mike blurts out, desperation creeping into his voice as he steps forward. As Brooke opens his car door, the group begins to plead. "Listen, listen, listen! I told y'all, I don't work with kids," he repeats. "Please! Just give us a chance!" Destiny urges, stepping closer.

"Hold on. Get off the car. Get away from the car. Move away. Thank you," Brooke says firmly, finally getting into the car with his lady friend. Before he could drive off the kids ran infront of his car, stopping him. "And one..two.three" destiny calls out making the boys get into place. "When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around. Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd" destiny sangs as the boys dance on the side of her when suddenly Ricky comes up making her go back . "But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance what is all it took. Now it's much too late for me to take a second look. Oh, baby, give me one more chance" Ricky sangs while brooke gets out of his car. As they continue to sing brooke says nothing but watches.

"Alright enough enough enough enough Umm where y'all from? Y'all live around here" he asks. "Yeah we live in OP" Ralph answers. "Oh yeah? Y'all know the rec center over there" brooke says making them all nod their heads. "So meet me over there... tomorrow, 9 am sharp. Don't be late" Brooke says sternly making the kids jump in excitement. "Wait so your gonna be our manager!?" Destiny asks. "No, that means, meet me over there, 9 am sharp, and don't be late. that's what that means" Brooke answers.

They all start thanking him before going to run to their houses but brooke calls them back. "And next time y'all stand y'all's little ass in front of my car, imma run y'all over and I won't think twice about it" he threatens causing the kids to run away.

Destiny is in the group! For now....
