"Well if you take that big ugly ass hat off then maybe you could see" Harley yelled up at her husband who was on the ladder

"60 or 120?" Marley yelled up at him also

"60!" He yelled back down

"Alright take them all out but leave the first row of white ones" Marley yelled up again

"Aye when you take them out just drop them I'll catch them" Laz yelled holding the ladder steady.

Beginning the process they'd had all the lights taken down in no time

"Monica and Harlow on the way so y'all take a break" Marley told them

"I'm starting to think my daughter done stole ya girl man" Melvin looked down at Lazarus

Giving the ladder a small jerk Lazarus watched as Melvin hung on for dear life before he laughed.

"She probably did, they've been together all day yesterday and today, I think she lowkey gay" Marley shook her head

"Don't say that" Lazarus cringed at the thought

"I wouldn't be surprised, she's been like that every since her and Laz broke up" her uncle Marvin spoke up

"She's not gay so y'all can get that out your heads" Harley took up for her daughter

"Let's just ask her" Melvin said once he was safely on the floor

"Oh Harlow" Marley called out once she entered the home.

"You better not Marley" Harley stood giving her daughter a stern look.

Seconds later Harlow and Monica emerged around the corner laughing about something.

"Hey sweetie" Lazarus looked up greeting his girlfriend

"She called back yet" Monica asked as her and Harlow engaged in their own conversation

"Hey baby" Lazarus said louder

"She know better, I told her we was gon pull up. You riding with me?" Harlow continued her conversation

"Hell no she got brothers, I had my fair share of fights with boys" Monica shook her head

" Alright you can be the geta-"

"HEY MONICA!" Lazarus yelled causing both of them to mug him

"What you yelling for, I heard you the first time!" Monica yelled rolling her eyes

"You ain't speak" Lazarus cocked his head back

"Don't you see me talking" she ushered between herself and Harlow

"So damn rude" Monica mumbled

"Here dad" Harlow walked up handing her dad the colored lightbulbs

"Hey Harlow" Lazarus spoke up

"Don't start" Monica rolled her eyes causing Melvin to laugh

"Ooh you a bitch" he hunched over laughing

"Y'all mad aggy bruh" Lazarus mugged Melvin as he laughed

"Come on bruh" Lazarus stepped back getting annoyed

Finally standing up Melvin adjusted the ladder as Lazarus began handing him the right bulbs.

After an hour of installing the bulbs in the right order they began setting up the backdrops on the wall.
