Bad Hair Day

Okay.

Let's do this.

Oh.

We have a winner.

Monica, it's prom!

How can you still be in bed?

I know, I was up till

2:
30 doing my hair poll.

Which style won?

The side-do.

I knew it!

All is right with my universe.

I'm tracking way ahead in

the prom queen election.

And everything's set.

Date. Dress. Shoes.

And as of last night, hair.

What? What is it?

How did this happen?

It was fine when I went to bed!

It's like...

all crispy.

Okay. Bacon-crispy?

Or dried-leaf-crispy?

I just broke it.

I just broke off a piece of my hair.

So, bacon-crispy.

Hold on.

Do not add heat or curl.

Do not mix with other products.

Do not leave on overnight.

I did all of these things!

Okay. How many products did you use?

The site was getting all this traffic,

so I just kept trying new styles.

My dress, my dress, my dress,

with the one that got the

most votes ever last week...

The one that was like, plastic?

It's like melted.

What the...?

Everyone voted for the little ones.

So I put them in these

shoe expander things.

Think, Monica, think.

These are just material objects.

They can be repaired.

I just need to do a little bit of research.

Okay.

What? No!

This is impossible.

What? What now?

The prom queen election

tracking software I made,

I'm now in a dead heat

with Ashley Mendlebach.

If she wins, evil will triumph.

Our school will be plunged

into eternal darkness.

This day cannot possibly get worse.

Stay on the line.

Hello?

Hello. Monica Reeves?

Speaking...?

This is the Department of Motor Vehicles

calling to schedule your driver's test.

Yes! Finally!

Our first available is April 11th...

That was 2 weeks ago.

Of next year.

Next year?

Are you kidding me?

Budget cuts.

Well, but... I'll be in college next year.

I have to get my license this summer!

Don't you have anything sooner?

I have 2 p.m. today.

Can you do 2 p.m. today?

'Cause nobody else can.

Apparently, it's prom or something.

No. Not today.

I can't do today.

Next year it is then.

Fine. I'll take today.

Just show up 10 minutes before

your scheduled appointment.

Bye-bye.

Yeah. Now I have to take

my driver's test today too.

I have to figure all this out.

- I'll call you back.

- 'K bye.

What do you mean, you

can't? You're my boyfriend.

And this constitutes

emergency boyfriend duty.

I just need a ride! The

salon, some shops, the DMV...

I'm volunteering at the group home and

the orphans, babe, they count on me.

So just call a taxi.

But that would cost like $200.

I barely have enough to

cover my salon appointment.

You'll figure it out.

You always do.

I'll see you tonight, okay?

I'm super-stoked.

Me too.

Stoked...

super-ly.

Morning, honey.

Look, I'm a tech nerd too.

I finally figured out that

picture posting stuff you do.

I put up a shot of me at the hospital.

You can re-twit it to all your peoples.

Whoa!

New hairstyle.

Love it.

Not intentional, Dad.

My universe has been destroyed.

Everything I've set for prom is ruined.

My hair's crispy.

My dress is melted.

My shoes have exploded...

Don't worry.

We'll work something out.

I'll call in sick.

Wait, aren't you working at the ER today?

Yeah. So...

You can't call in sick.

You're a nurse.

People are counting on you

to be, you know, kept alive.

I'll be okay. You sure?

Yeah! I'm sure.

High five.

I don't want to push you.

But it is the week, so you

have to make a choice.

I get why you're leaning towards State.

I went to State.

It's a fine school.

A fun school.

But you've been given...

A once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity.

I know.

Can we, maybe, talk about this later?
