Living Room – Night
Julie is sitting on the couch next to Kirsten carrying on a conversation about how Julie thinks it's bad to go to prom because it will only result in a teen pregnancy.
Kirsten: Don't you think you are over reacting Julie?
Julie: No.
Summer comes prancing in with a cream and brown detailed dress on.
Summer: Hi Kirsten, Mommy.
Kirsten: Summer you look gorgeous!
Summer: You like it? My date should be here in like five.
Julie: Am I missing something here?
Summer: I have a date Mommy!
The doorbell rings and Summer runs to get it. There stands Jodie in a female pin strip suit complete with a matching fedora. She takes in Summer's outfit.
Jodie: Uh wow.
Summer: Let's go!
Julie looks on with her mouth agape and Kirsten stifles laughter.
Kirsten: Well now you don't ever have to worry about Jodie getting Summer pregnant.
Julie stills sits in shock. Then Marissa runs down the stairs in her Chanel gown.
Marissa: See ya mom, Kirsten. I'm going to prom.
The door slams and Kirsten and Julie are left alone.
Julie: What just happened?
Kirsten: Your daughters went to prom.
Julie: Did I have any say in it?
Kirsten: Absolutely not.
Julie: That's what I thought.
The doorbell rings and Julie opens the door to see Luke standing there in a tux.
Luke: I'm here to pick up Summer.
Julie: Late
She then slams the door in his face.
Harbor Parking Lot – Night
Marissa pulls up in her car then emerges with her clutch. Alex is sitting on the steps waiting for her in a tux.
Marissa: How did you get a tux last minute?
Alex (grinning): Oh, it's Johnny's, his date got convicted last minute. Where'd you get the dress?
Marissa: Just something I had laying around you know.
Alex smiles and extends her arm to Marissa who takes it and leans into the blond. Alex smiles and kisses the top of Marissa's head. Both girls feel the spark.
Marissa: Sorry about questioning your motives earlier.
Alex winces slightly but covers with a smile.
Alex: Lets get in there. I have to show off the most beautiful girl in the world. I mean talk about arm candy.
Marissa giggles softly and hits Alex in the gut lightly with her clutch. They make their way into the doors.
Prom – Night
The gymnasium has been transformed into a pirate fantasy land. Complete with a ship and random pirates standing around. Marissa and Alex enter and Marissa tries to down play her excitement at being there with Alex.
Alex: So you like?
Marissa: Yes.
Marissa looks around and notices Summer and Jodie dancing to the slow song playing looking deep into each others eyes with their faces inches apart. Marissa smiles. Across the room Sadie enters in her gorgeous Elizabethan gown. She looks around nervously before spotting Marissa and Alex.
Sadie: Have you seen him?
Alex: Who?
Sadie: My William?
Marissa: Oh Sadie hun, please don't tell me you have you haven't progressed on to full on hallucinations.
Alex looks at the door way and taps Marissa on the shoulder who then turned Sadie to the door. There stands Seth in full Shakespeare frock. He bows and makes his way over. Alex gives him a questioning look.
Seth: What, I'm not just a comic book geek you know. I love all kinds of literature.
Sadie smile couldn't get any bigger as Seth takes her hand and glides her away to begin dancing. Alex and Marissa look on smiling.
Prom – Night – Later
Marissa and Alex dance to a slow song. Whatever Alex is whispering into Marissa's ear is making her laugh. Nearby Jodie and Summer dance glowing with happiness. Summer whispers something to Jodie and heads off toward the bathroom.
Ladies Room – Night
Summer walks in, positively radiant. Holly emerges from a stall.
Summer (surprised): What are you doing here?
Holly checks herself out in the mirror, aloof.
Holly: You aren't the only sophomore who got asked to prom. And just so you know my date isn't planning on spending the night with me in the back seat of his truck.
Summer: What are you talking about Holly?
Holly: Luke Ward is only after one thing. Your cherry, he practically made it public knowledge.
Summer stands back appalled.
Holly: Summer I wanted to tell you.
Prom – Night
A drunk and pissed off Luke walks in with a few of his water polo buddies who are also dateless. He looks around and zeros in on Jodie who was consoling a very pissed off Summer. Alex and Marissa continue to dance off in their own little world, completely oblivious to the mayhem that is about to erupt.
Alex: My great aunt's.
Marissa: What?
Alex: That's where I was last year. She'd never lived alone before. My great uncle, he died. So I stayed with her to keep her company and look after her. I wasn't in jail. I didn't make any international lesbian porno, although if you want to we can, I mean I wont object or anything like that. But yeah I spent an entire year taking care of a 80 year old woman. End of story.
Alex takes a breath and looks away for a moment not being able to look Marissa in the eye. Marissa stares at her for a moment then begins to giggle.
Marissa: That's adorable, well all except for the porno. We will have to discuss that later.
Alex looks at her with a pervy grin. Then she switches back to confession mode.
Alex: Well it gets worse. Do you still have your freshman yearbook?
She's interrupted by Luke grabbing her shoulder and turning her around.
Luke: What is Summer doing here with that freak? I didn't pay you to let that chick steal my girl and turn her into one of you.
Across the room Seth dances over to Jodie.
Seth: Jodie, we have a problem. C'mon
He takes her away and leaves Summer and Sadie staring after them. They make their way over to the conflict. Luke continues to taunt Alex who looks like she's about to murder him but keeps quiet because she realizes the weight of the situation. If she says the wrong thing Marissa might in turn hate her for what she's done.
Seth: Luke, my man, my home dog. Let's turn the burner on simmer. Take it easy, ya know?
Luke turns towards Seth and Jodie.
Luke: You two are in deep shit.
Jodie: Dude, face it you loss. Be a man and step down.
Luke brings up his fist to punch Jodie. She dodges the first one and swings back. She connects with his jaw. He is only momentarily phased by it and swings a second time which connects with Jodie's jaw. She falls to the ground and Summer rushes to her. Luke then turns back towards Alex and Marissa.
Luke: Just so you know, she only spread her legs once.
Marissa looks between Alex and Luke not believing what's been revealed to her. Luke smirks at her then takes off towards the door. All of a sudden a hand pulls him back. It's Summer and she is PISSED. She punches him in the nose.
Summer: That is for punching Jodie.
She hits him in the face again.
Summer: That is for Marissa.
She then brings her knee to his groin.
Summer: And that is for me.
Harbor Parking Lot – Night
Marissa runs down the stairs with tears streaming down her face. Alex is running to catch up with her.
Alex (begs): Rissa wait please.
Marissa: Alex, you were paid to take me out by the person I hate the most. Am I that horrible? I knew this was a set up.
Alex: No, It wasn't like that.
Marissa (wiping away tears): Really Alex? What was it like then hmm? A down payment now and a bonus for sleeping with me huh, see if you can get into my pants?
Alex: No, never. I don't care about the money. I mean that's the way it started before I knew you.
She finally catches up to Marissa at her car.
Alex (continuing): I cared about…
Marissa then turns to her with all her tears gone from her cheeks. Her face isn't one of anger but of hurt and sadness.
Marissa: No, you just aren't what I thought you were.
Alex desperate to get across her meaning grabs Marissa and brings her into a searing kiss. After a second she pulls away and brings her hand across Alex's face, then jumps into her cars and drives away. Summer watches from atop the stairs with Jodie. She never looked so guilty before.
