Author's Note: Hope you guys are enjoying Once and Again Season 4 so far.
Also I wanted to apologize because I think this season is only going to be 20 episodes instead. I'm trying to come with ideas for episodes but I'm having a hard time. I have up to Episode 12 Part 4 written, but I could use a some help .
If you have any ideas for episodes please write them under reviews. Just keep in mind that unlike the last three seasons of Once and Again this one is primary from Jessie, Katie, Grace, and Eli's perspective.
All episodes of Once and Again Season 4 posted on Friday's between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
The commercials have ended the show is back
Jessie and Katie are in the back seat just staring at each other with dreamy looks on their faces. Grace is driving and the silence is starting to kill her. Katie has something that she needs to tell Jessie but she's not sure how to say it but she does know that if Eli is going to meet her parents she needs to tell Jessie and not let her find out on her own. "Jess, there's something that I need to tell you."
"What is it?" Jess said continuing to give Katie the same look, thinking that Katie was going to say something sweet.
"Jess, I'm being serious... They know." Katie said as she looked away from Jessie.
Jessie didn't understand what Katie meant but she had an idea, "Katie who knows what?"
"My parents, ok, I'm sorry they know about us."
"Katie, you said that we wouldn't tell anyone." Jessie said. Anger beginning to grow inside of her.
"I know what I said, but my family has known about me being gay for a year, and with the amount of times they've seen us together they called me out on it a week or two ago, I'm sorry Jess." Katie said upset.
Jessie realized that Katie was upset. Once she calmed down, Jessie lean over and gave her a hug, "It is ok I mean do you think they will say anything to…" Jessie got cut off by Grace.
"Eli knows." She said it quick barely able to get the words out.
Jessie and Katie's attention turned straight towards Grace, "What do you mean he knows?" Katie asked with some rage in her voice.
"Grace that's not for you to tell Eli." Jessie said about to blow a fuse.
"First of all, I didn't tell Eli anything, I would never do that. Second, you two should be a little bit more careful about where you kiss. He came to me saying that he saw the two of you kiss last Monday night, remember in the kitchen, he turned around saw you two, and turned back around." Grace said defensively.
Jessie and Katie both had blank expressions wondering if the next words out of their mouths should be an apology.
"Grace I'm sorry, I…" Jessie was cut off un able to finish her sentence.
"Just forget it." Grace said still angry that Jessie and Katie actually bombarded her like that, "He's trying to figure out if he is going to say something to the two of you about it, or for you two to say something to him."
The car became quiet for a second, "So, I guess if my parents bring up the subject we may have nothing to worry about." Katie said trying to change the mood of the car.
"Ya, well that's if Eli doesn't bring up the topic first, he made some joke this morning to me about getting to know the future in-laws." Grace said as three of them started to laugh a little bit, "So, what are you guy's going to do about Eli?" Grace asked wondering what their plan was.
"Cross that bridge when the time comes." Katie said as they pulled into the school parking. All three girls got out of the car.
"Oh, just one quick question. So last night you two obviously…shared a bed," she whispered that part, "did the two of you know?" Grace asked referring to sex.
"Oh my god, no…I can't believe you mind goes there." Jessie said surprised that Grace actually asked that question.
"And even if we did we won't tell you." Katie said they walked into the building and went to their lockers.
Sammler/Manning House
Its 8:55 a.m. Eli is in the kitchen making some coffee for when the Singers get there, he plans on inviting them in for a few minutes to talk them. Getting an idea of what type of people Jessie is going to be around if this thing with Katie does go somewhere in the future.
Eli heard a knock on the door - must be the Singer's - he answered the door and was greeted by a dirty blonde hair woman that looked a little bit like Katie, and tall man that had a couple of inches on Eli.
"Hi you must be Katie's parents."
"And you must Jessie's brother." Mrs. Singer responded quickly
Eli Black and White
"I can see the resemblance."
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Eli, would you like to come in for a few minutes I have some coffee on the stove." Eli said as polite as possible.
"Sure, I guess we have a few minutes." Mr. Singer said.
They walked into the kitchen, and took a seat at the table Eli grabbed three cups and poured the coffee in it.
"Well Mrs. Singer I can't even exaggerate how much you and Katie look alike."
"Please call me Katelin, and I get that from everyone." They sat there and each took a sip of the drinks.
"So, Eli where are your parents I assumed they would be here?" Mr. Singer said.
"My dad is at work, and my step-mom is at work."
"What about you how come you're not at work."
"I work at that new book store, my shift doesn't start till 12:00… So, what do you guy's think of Jessie?" Eli was very direct trying avoid the, what do you think of my sister and your daughter dating, question.
"Well if Katie is dating her I'm sure she's good." Mrs. Singer said very direct the same as her daughter.
Eli Black and White
"Ok, Katie has to be this women's clone."
"You know." Eli asked surprised that Katie parents knew, and they were keeping it a secret from Rick and Lily.
"Well of course. Why you didn't" Mr. Singer said.
"I have known for a total of eight days, because I caught them by accident, and I'm pretty sure that they don't know that I know." Eli said
"Katie, was a little bit more forthcoming with us I'm sure that when Jessie's ready she'll say something." Mrs. Singer said.
"Thanks for the advice," Eli said, "I still debating on whether to say something or to wait for them to say something." He said take a big gulp of his drink.
"The reason we know that they're dating is because we just asked Katie out right. Jessie is a completely different person, but I'm sure you'll make the right decision." Mr. Singer said.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence."
"So, Mr. Singer, Katelin what do you do?" Eli asked trying to change the subject.
"Where both investment specialists actually." Mr. Singer said.
"What's that like?"
"Mainly just arguing with people over the best way to invest their money, and convince them not to touch the money they invest." Katelin said, as the three of them finished there drinks.
"Well, would you look at that, thank you for the coffee Eli but we have to go. A lot to do in a very short period of time. We're are going out of town for the weekend and we have to get everything we need for our trip." Mr. Singer said.
"Is Katie going with you?" Eli asked.
"No, we leave Friday night and come back Sunday night, she'll be fine on her own for two days." Katelin said, "I hope it not a problem but she said that she might ask Jessie to have a weekend long sleepover."
Eli Black and White
"Now I have to talk to her, and make sure she isn't going to do something that she'll regret." Eli said looking at the camera remembering how he used to bring girls over his father apartment, when he wasn't home.
"You guys have been dealing with dealing this a lot longer than I have, if you guys don't have problem with it, then I don't have a problem with it, but there is one thing." Eli said, realizing that if it wasn't him here they might have ended up saying something to Rick or Lily about Jessie and Katie, "Can you do me a favor and not say anything about Jessie and Katie to my parents until they Jessie and Katie say it's ok, because I know for fact that that Jessie would want it come from her, and that my mom isn't going to have the greatest reaction."
"I don't have any problem with that." Katelin said.
"Thanks, it was great getting to meet the both of you." They waved goodbye as Eli shut the door.
Eli thought to himself - and those are the future in laws -
Screen turns lack and goes to commercials
