The gang gathers in the familiar hallway, lockers lining the walls. Lisa Turtle, always impeccably dressed, stands next to Zack Morris.

LISA: "Zack, I've got something to tell you."

ZACK: "What's up, Lisa? You look like you're about to burst."

Lisa takes a deep breath, her eyes shining.

LISA: "Zack, I'm pregnant."

The hallway seems to freeze. The other students blur into the background.

ZACK: (stunned) "Pregnant? Lisa, are you sure?"

LISA: "Positive. I went to the doctor yesterday. It's real."

Zack's mind races. He's not ready for this. They're both still in high school.

ZACK: "Lisa, what are we going to do?"

LISA: "I don't know, Zack. But we'll figure it out. We're a team."

Their friends—Kelly, Slater, Jessie, and Screech—gather around.

KELLY: "Lisa, congratulations!"

SLATER: "Man, Zack, you're gonna be a dad!"

JESSIE: "This is huge, Lisa. But we've got your back."

SCREECH: "I'll be the best uncle ever!"

Zack's panic subsides. Maybe they can make this work.

ZACK: "Lisa, we'll support each other. Finish school, find jobs, and raise this baby together."

LISA: "And we'll still be the most fashionable parents at Bayside."

They share a smile, their lives forever changed.
