Chris is in the process of getting dressed when Monica walks in.

"You smell good."

"Thanks. Blue shirt or purple?

My parents aren't going to care what color shirt you should wear." She replied sitting on Chris's bed.

"Purple. My shoes are going to be purple."

"Chris. Calm down."

"I can't. I want them to like me."

"They would. They have no choice." Monica smirks.

Chris smiles. "Fine. I'm a little nervous."

"I see that. Just be calm and stay calm."

"I'll try."

With Darren and Jared.

"It's still kinda weird that you asked me to come hang out."

"Yeah. We haven't hung out in a while."

"We've never hung out."

"Right. Why not?"

"Because I'm Chris's friend and you and him don't really hang out."

"Oh. That's right. We should all hang out sometime."

"You miss Ashley don't you?"

"How do you know about that?"

"For one, everybody does. And for two Ashley told Shailene."

"And you two just sit around and talk about me?"

"I was at Shailenes' when it happened."

"Oh. I do miss her."

"I understand your pain."

"No you don't."

"No I don't, dude."

With the girls.

"Vanessa, where's Chris?" Ashley asked.

"With Monica at her moms."

"Oh."

"They get along? Her mom and Chris?" Hayden asked.

"They're all meeting."

"Oh. I see."

"He's like super nervous." Vanessa said.

"Is he? He wants to make a good impression huh?" Shailene asked.

"Yeah. I told him they respect him for what he does for his son."

"Yeah, hell, everybody does. You could tell he loves that little boy." Ashley replied.

"Yeah you can. He's so good to him." Hayden agreed.

With Chris and Monica.

"Mom, dad, everyone, this is Chris." Everybody greets Chris with a handshake.

"Hi." Chris greets them.

"Sit down." Monica's dad replies.

"Okay. Thanks." Chris sits down next to Monica.

"We've heard a little about you."

"Same here."

"Nervous?"

"A little."

"Good. That means somewhere you care a lot about my daughter."

"Yes, sir. I do."

"But you're not together."

"Dad."

"With all do of respect, Monica and I don't have them type of feelings for one another."

"Then why lay down?"

"Dad, next conversation."

"Fine."

"How's school going for you Chris?" Monica's mom asked.

"Very well. Thanks."

"You graduate this year too."

"Yeah. I do."

"That's so exciting."

"Yeah. It is."

After dinner, Monica and Chris are sitting on the porch talking.

"You're not upset about what my dad said are you?" Monica asked.

"Of course not. I'm fine. Makes me think though."

"About what?"

"Why there isn't feelings for me and you."

"I don't know. It probably won't work that way."

"It probably won't."

"It works like this anyway. Why change it?"

"Yeah. I know. I'm not trying to."

"Good. Thanks for coming."

"You're welcome. I had fun. I know your dad has some mixed feelings for me but it'll get better."

"Yeah, it will."

"I'm going to say goodnight to Anthony and head home."

"Okay." They both stand up and Monica and Chris give each other a hug and they walk inside."

Chris walks into Vanessa's room and lays next to Vanessa's sleeping body.

Vanessa wakes up and turns around, "Oh hey."

"Hey."

"What are you doing here?"

"It's only 8:50. Why are you in bed?"

"I don't know, boredom."

"Well, let's get unbored and do something."

"How was the dinner?"

"Great. Her dad kinda has a grudge in getting their daughter pregnant but he'll come around."

"I think any great father would."

"True. Enough of them. What did you do today?"

"Hung out with the girls."

"Sounds fun. I hope you had fun today."

"Good thing I did."

"I'm going to let you sleep."

"Wait, stay here. Please?"

"Do you want me too?"

"Yes. My dad won't be home from work til midnight and my mom is at my aunts til 10."

"My mom is actually home alone."

"No she's not. She's with her new boyfriend."

"Oh. He's over there."

"Yeah. I seen him over there."

Chris looks through the window, "Yeah, he's over there."

"You going home?"

"Hell no. I'm going to text my mom and tell her I'm staying with you."
