"Hey Jimmy how is Cindy? " Judy asked her son as he entered the front door

"She's good,  why? " Jimmy asked as he kissed his mom's cheek and gave his dad a hug.

"You still haven't asked her out son? " Hugh asked which made Jimmy pause from going upstairs. 

"What? We're best friends..  Why would I ask her out? " Jimmy said while blushing looking at his parents hoping his blush isn't too noticeable.

"We're your parents we know if you feel something more about a girl or not" Judy explained putting one hand on her hips

"Mom,  Cindy and I are best friends. Nothing more, nothing less" Jimmy said making a point

"Oh fine,  Whatever you say son" Hugh said. Jimmy then walked up the stairs shaking his head. He checked his computer a bit then entered the bathroom to get some shower.

Just across his room: (Transition: Jimmy's window through Cindy's)

"Mom,  Why do I need to cut my hair?" Cindy asked she's standing up while keeping her distance from her mom who is holding a sissor in front of her.

"Like I told you its getting kind of long that its starting to have split ends. Don't worry I'm expert with trimming and cutting" Sasha said. Cindy's home life have been fixed since Jimmy comfronted her parents about her situation,  the reason why Cindy is getting less cranky. Though,  there are still times her parents pressure her into doing what they want for her to do,  its less than before. She was nervous when she got home and saw Jimmy in their living room confronting her parents but then after he left her parents hug her and started apologizing.

"But mom" Cindy said

"No buts,  You're hair needs to be cut short. You might get sick because of it being too long. Plus,  its refreshing once its short" Sasha said sternly

"Oh...oh fine" Cindy said then hesitantly sat down.

"I worked at my mom's salon before to be able to pay for my college fees." Sasha explained as she started cutting Cindy's hair.

"I will make you look like a Princess darling" Sasha said smiling and Cindy just smiled at that.

Not too far away: (Transition: Exit Cindy's window then time-lapse)

"Why do I have to wear tuxedo at dances dad? " Sheen asked

"Because that's just the way it is" His dad answered "Tuxedos for boys, gowns or dresses for girls"

"You look horrible" Maria, Sheen's little sister said as she watch his brother try on their mom's red gown for a reason no one can understand.

"Mind your own business Maria. I'm here trying on a memorable piece I can't even wear because I'm a boy. Show some respect" Sheen said crossing his arms as Maria walked out his room.

2 blocks away: ( Transition: As Maria shut the door, Time-lapse)

"Our baby boy is going to the dance, he's a big boy now" Mrs. Wheeezer said blowing her nose on her handkerchief

"Oh cheer up darling,  he's growing up we can't do anything about it but watch" Mr. Wheezer said

"I'm crying tears of joy hon" Mrs. Wheezer said wiping her face with her handkerchief.

"Oh I thought its because his slacks won't fit" Mr. Wheezer said as they watch carl trying to button his pants but failed and fell on the floor

"A little help please" Carl said with one hand raised
