The rosses (Season 1, ep 2)

(The scene starts in the car with Tisha and E)

Tisha:
*Laughs* Ok, that was good.

E:
Ok, you remember when we snuck out to that party at Jason’s?

Tisha:
Yea! And we played Dare. Oh, you remember when Jason dared me to jump in the ocean? And I turned it up!

E:
*Laughs* I do. Girl, you had THE NERVE to remove all of your clothes! Wait, wasn’t the water cold and you still did it?

Tisha:
Yea, but it wasn’t for long. *smirks*

(Crowd Ohhhhs!)

Tisha realizes her mother sent a text.

E:
Girl! What’s that?

Tisha:
Oh, it’s a text from Mama. Alexis, read my text from Mama.

Voice/Car:
*Reads* “Hi Tis, I’ve noticed that you and Mickey don’t have jobs. And you guys are always sending too much of my money on some things you don’t need. So, starting today. You guys need to make your own money. So, both of you need to find a job. Love you, bye! *Stops reading* P.S, you guys also must pay your credit cards for now too. And till y’all move out. You guys need to pay some of the bills.

Tisha:
Great!

E:
Well, that’s good.

Tisha:
Girl…..*Gives E a mean look*

E:
Come on, Girl. Don’t you guys wanna move out of your mom’s and get a place of your own one day?

Tisha:
Mickey might. Me? No!

(Audience laughs)

Tisha:
I mean, yea. But I don't know what I’m gonna do.

Tisha drives the car in the driveway and the girls get out of the car, get their belongings and go into the mansion. Tisha sees Mickey and Janet in the kitchen.

Tisha and E:
Hey guys!

Tisha:
Mick, did you get the text from mom?

Mickey:
Yea, What are we gonna do? Janet, E. You guys got any ideas?

E:
Oh, I think some of the restaurants are hiring. And I can ask some of the Professors if they need any more assistants.

Tisha:
Ok, Mickey, you go visit the restaurants and I’ll go with E to the school. With any luck, i can be Leyendo’s helper.

Janet:
Wait. Tis, i thought you didn’t like college.

Tisha:
I still don’t. But I need some private time with your brother. And maybe he can still teach me some more dance moves. *Whispers* We might be naked.

(Audience laughs)

Tisha and E leave.

At College:

Jenny:
*Laughs*

Dede runs over to her sister and brothers.

Jenny:
Oh, hey, Dede!

Dede:
I need yall’s help!

Bubbles:
What’s wrong?

Dede:
I got a date with Hex tonight.

Jenny:
Ok, what does this affect us?

Dede:
Cause I’ve never been on a date. What am I supposed to do?

Jenny:
Again, what does this have to do with us?

(Audience laughs)

Dede:
Look, I need you guys to help me. Like, show me what to do. Help me pick out what to wear.

Bubbles:
But none of us have been on a date either.

Dede:
I know, but you guys watch/read a LOT of romance movies and books.

Vero:
Fine! We’ll help you. But what’s in it for us?

Dede:
Um….I’ll do your chores for 2 months.

Jenny:
Keep going.

Dede:
*Grunts* Here, *Pulls out $60 and gives $20 to each one of them.* Are you guys happy now?

Jenny:
Very! *Puts money up*

(Audience laughs)

Jenny:
Ok. Let’s see. Vero, Bubbles. I need you to get Hex ready while I get Della ready.

Bubbles and Vero go and find Hex. Dede and Jenny go outside.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile with Tisha and Erica:

E:
Girl, what are you and Mickey gonna do? We’ve asked all of the restaurants. Just hope the college might take yall.

Tisha:
Girl, I hope so. I got needs.

(Audience laughs)

Tisha parks the car and they enter the building, where they find the other four and E’s brothers.

Tisha:
Hi guys!

Other:
Hey!

Dede:
Tisha, Erica, what y'all doing here? School ain’t over.

E:
We know.

Tisha:
Mama cut off money on Mickey and me. So, I need to find a job. I tried the restaurants. They might hire Mickey but not me. So….

Dede:
Oh, no(3x)! You will NOT be here. We already got E.

Tisha:
Look, I'm just gonna see.

Jenny:
You only hope you get hired so you can see Professor Legando in his dance outfits and (possibly) steal his stuff to put on your wall!

Tisha:
I do not! I want to help out.

Others:
*Looking at Tisha with the “Really” look*

Tisha:
Ok, maybe! Anyway, what are you guys doing?

Dede:
We’re just eating lunch. You want some?

Tisha:
Nah, I'll get my own.

Hex:
I got an idea. If you and Mickey don’t get jobs. How about you guys start your own business?

Tisha:
Do you want us to end up like E’s family? No, diss!

(Audience laughs)

E:
That’s a great idea! And I can help you.

Tisha:
Wait, I thought you were helping out here.

E:
Well….Let’s just say there was a bit of fire in one of the science classes. If anybody asks, I was at my mom’s.

(Audience laughs)

Tisha:
We’re starting our own business. *Sees P.L and walks over to him* Hey, Professor!

P.L:
Tisha? What are you doing here?

Tisha:
Long story short: I need a job.

P.L:
I thought you didn’t like college!

Tisha:
I still don’t. I just wanna assistance. And you could ask teachers if you can give me some one-on-one and show me some more dance moves?

P.L:
Well, I can. But you must bring your siblings. I’m not being alone with you in a room. *Runs away*

Tisha:
Ohh, I knew he wanted me! *Runs after him*

(Audience laughs)

Dede:
E, you gonna-

E:
No. Anyway, what’s Rondo doing? I don’t care! That girl better not come by the house. I just got the fleas out. Anyway, do you guys need to tell me anything before I go and grab Tisha?
