(Open scene in Kelli's car; Kelli is sitting in the driver's seat and Joseph is in the passenger's seat)
Kelli: Where did she say she was? *driving*
Joseph: *looking down at his phone* She said the park.
Kelli: Why is she in the park? Dad told us to be home right after school.
Joseph: I don't know. I'm not Ash.
Kelli: I can see that, smart ass. You ready for tonight?
Joseph: Not really if I'm being honest with you. Don't you find it weird? I mean, a month ago our parents were married and now our father is with another woman.
Kelli: Yeah, I get what you're saying. It's surprising that he'd jump back in so soon.
(Phone pings)
Kelli: Is that Ashlynn?
Joseph: *picks up his phone and looks at it* Yup
Kelli: What did she say?
Joseph: She will meet us in the parking lot.
Kelli: Where is that?
Joseph: Down this road to the right.
Kelli: There isn't a parking lot there.
Joseph: Yes, there is, Kelli.
Kelli: I've been living in this neighborhood for nineteen years. There is no parking lot there.
Joseph: Just check
Kelli: *drives up the street* ...
Joseph: Told you
Kelli: Shut up, I just forgot.
Joseph: You forget a lot, don't you?
Kelli: What are you trying to say?
Joseph: You forget your keys, your phone, ...your ability to drive.
Kelli: Hey! I'm a good driver.
Joseph: Yeah sure, and I'm the sugarplum fairy.
Kelli: Just shut up. *pulls into parking lot* Do you see her?
Joseph: *points* ...right over there
Kelli: *stops the car*
(Ashlynn enters the car in the back seat)
(Enter Xsandra and Athena)
Kelli: and where have you been?
Ashlynn: I went to a friend's house after school.
Joseph: Yeah right
Athena: *starts rocking*
Ashlynn: What?
Kelli: We know what happened.
Xsandra: Shit
Ashlynn: ...you do?
Joseph: Yeah, mom is gonna kill you when she finds out.
Athena: *squeaks; hides under table*
Kelli: Why did you skip?
Xsandra: Wait.......
Ashlynn: You don't know?
Joseph: We just know that you skipped. What did you do?
Xsandra: They don't know *happy/ excited* yes yes yes
Athena: *exhales in relief*
Ashlynn: You won't tell mom?
