Stephanie (Sarah Vandella) is cleaning up the house, calling out to her step-daughter, Julia (Jade Baker). "You're going to miss the bus," Stephanie tells Julia as Julia lazily looks through her purse. "I can't find my bus pass.. Why can't I just stay home? I'll be as quiet as a mouse!" Stephanie can not have Julia in the house when her date arrives! She pushes Julia out the door. Julia walks down the driveway as her best friend, Kylie (Whitney Wright) is walking up. Julia wonders why her friend is coming to her house, unannounced,, wearing a pretty dress. Kylie claims that she's going to church later,, is just here to see if she can borrow Julia's red dress for another time. Julia offers to bring her in the house since her mom is in 'such' a mood, but Kylie insists that Julia should go catch the bus, she'll be fine talking to Stephanie. Julia asks, "Did I mention that I was catching the bus? Kylie's heart races as she scrambles for a lie, "yes, you must've!" Whitney hurries past her friend, watches to be certain that Julia is out of the picture.
