(Jelani was upstairs in his room, chilling while listening to music, he had his headphones on as he bobbed his head to the music.)

(His mother, Tess soon came into the room which made him take off his headphones and sit up.)

Tess: Jelani!

Jelani: Yes Ma'am.

Tess: Why did I get a call from the school yestersday, saying that you got into a fight?

Jelani: Well, that might be because I got into a fight yesterday.

Tess: (Sighs and sits down on Jelani's bed) Honey, how many times are we going to have this conversation?

Jelani: (Looks at his mother, but couldn't find the words, so he just looked back down.)

Tess: Honey look, I understand how you feel about bullies, but remember who you are. You are a-

Jelani: Young black kid?

Tess: (Somberly) Yes, you can't just go around beating everyone up, even-

Jelani: Even if they deserve it.

(Tess looks at her son, who is still looking at the ground in a somber expression, she nustles his head, which makes the boy smile slightly.)

Tess: (Stands up) Alright, we'll talk about this later. Grab your stuff, we're about to head to your father's house.

Jelani: (Nods) Yes, ma'am.

(Tess walks out of Jelani's room as the boy starts to get ready.)

(Cut to Jelani, Sean, Lisa, and Tess in the car, heading for Terry's place.)

Tess: So! Dad's taking you to Splashtown for your birthday. 

Jelani: Are you excited, Sean? 

Sean: Yeah, I can't wait! I'm gonna make him go on all the waterslides with me this time. There's this one, The Devastator! It has so many turns in it, they have to constantly clean it out because so many people barf in it! ( mocks retching ) 

Lisa: That's disgusting. 

Jelani: Agreed.

Tess: Well, I'm sorry I'll be missing out on that. I'm sure you and your dad will have a great time. 

Lisa: Surprised he can even find time to hang out with us. 

Tess/Jelani: Lisa! 

Lisa: What? You know I'm right. Besides, Sean knows his real birthday is with us next weekend. 

Tess: This isn't about keeping score between me and Dad. But if it was, that game would be a shutout.

Jelani: (Chuckles)

(They soon make it to Terry's place and see that it is a mess with clothes on the floor and dishes still in the sink.)

Sean: ( grunting ) That's right, Charlie. We're go. I'm on the move. 

Jelani: Jeez, dad. ( chill music playing ) 

Sean: (Grunts) Pew, pew, pew. ( grunts ) 

Lisa: Dad's really leaning into the divorced-guy thing. 

Jelani: Lisa, that's not even funny!

Lisa: Hey. Hey, hey. Hey. No. We're not divorced. We're just... separated. And this place may be a little rough... ( inhales ) ...but he's doing his best. ( flies buzzing )I-I guess.
