Bianca, Kelly, and Farrah are sitting on the edge of the pool chilling and listening to music while  Solange runs around trying to catch lizards with one of her friends.

Beyoncé and Megan are splashing around in the pool in their own little world.

"Y'all dykes or something?" Farrah asks when Bey and Megan float close to them.

Kelly and Bianca whip their heads over to their obnoxious cousin as Beyoncé nervously steps back from the embrace she was sharing with Megan.

"Watch how you talk to our sister." Bianca says.

"I'm just saying. They giving dyke vibes." Farrah shrugs.

Beyoncé's heart rate picks up and Megan, sensing the shift in her best friend's demeanor, instinctively reaches out to comfort her, frowning when Bey moves out of her reach.

"You giving just had an abortion vibes but ain't nobody pointing that out." Kelly says calmly.

"Man, fuck y'all." Farrah says.

"Fuck you, Farrah. You picking on twelve-year-old kids for what?" Bianca asks growing agitated.

Beyoncé doesn't bother anyone.

She goes out of her way to be kind to everyone.

She, more than anyone, doesn't deserve to be treated like this.

"I was just asking a damn question." Farrah says.

"A rude damn question, bitch. Why you worrying about it?" Kelly asks.

If their sister is gay, what the fuck that gotta do with Farrah's raggedy ass?

Beyoncé climbs out of the pool trying to keep her cool.

Megan follows her keeping her distance a bit.

They sit in the pool chairs nearby.

"I'm finna go, cause y'all tripping off nothing..." Farrah says getting up.

"Hold up." Kelly says getting up followed by Bianca. "Apologize."

"I'm not apologizing. I ain't even do nothing." Farrah says.

"Fuck you mean? Look at Beyoncé." Bianca says gesturing to her hyperventilating little sister.

"It's not my fault she so fucking fragile. Blame that on y'all weird ass daddy." Farrah says.

Kelly tackles Farrah sending a fury of punches to her face and body.

Bianca grabs Kelly attempting to hold her back as the adults rush outside.

"What the hell is going on?" Tina yells as Richard steps between the girls.

"Farrah's a bitch." Kelly spits angrily.

"She mad because Beyoncé dyking. That ain't my fault." Farrah says wiping the blood from her mouth.

"Say that shit one more time, Farrah, I swear to God!" Bianca says lunging at the girl.

Richard grabs her holding Kelly in one arm and Bianca in the other.

Beyoncé sits in the lounge chair with her knees up against her chest trying to catch her breath.

Megan sits awkwardly.

She knows Beyoncé's family is religious and that probably is why she's panicking but Meg can't help but feel like she's being rejected before she ever got to shoot her shot.
