Cartoon: Aren't those two being VERY friendly today?

Ethan puts his hand on Melissa's hand

Kate enters and sits down by Ethan and Melissa

Kate: Hi Mel, hi Ethan

Melissa waves

Ethan: Hey!

Kate: Umm Mel, can I talk to you…alone?

1.1 Melissa: sure!

Kate and Melissa go by the bookcase Lizzie is by

1.2 Lizzie spies on them

Kate: Umm, rumor is around the school that you and Ethan are boyfriend and girlfriend?

Melissa: Well, not really…

Cartoon celebrates

Kate: What do you mean?

Melissa: Well he didn't ask e to be his girlfriend yet, and we're going the movies tonight.

Kate: Well do you like him?

Cartoon flies in an airplane

Cartoon: NO!!

Melissa: yah and I think he likes me too!

Cartoon's plane sputters and goes down

Cartoon: this plane is going down!

Kate: Oh, ok. What movie are you seeing?

Melissa: I don't know. He won't tell me

Kate: Ok well I need to find a certain book at the moment so I'll talk to you later

Melissa sits down

Cartoon draws a picture of a sad face crying

Cartoon: Kate looks sad. I wonder what's wrong?

Lizzie: Kate you kind look depressed. What's wrong?

Kate: Nothing that involves you!

Cartoon: Ok then. You want a piece of me? COME and GET ME!

Kate sighs

Kate points to Ethan and Melissa

Kate: It's them. Ever since Mel came, I thought I would have a friend that wasn't head-over-heals for Ethan Craft. I guess I was wrong. I like Melissa though. She's cool, she has style, she's pretty…

Cartoon: She's saying another person is pretty and it's not herself! Who is she and what has she done with Kate?

Lizzie sighs and looks at them

Lizzie: Well there are a million other guys in this school. I'm sure we'll find a good one for you.

Kate: Thanks; you know I kind of miss being friends with you

Lizzie: me too. Do you think we could ever be friends like we were when we were 8?

Kate: Yeah

Kate: DO you think we could be friends again?

Lizzie smiles

Lizzie: I'd like that

Kate smiles

Lizzie and Kate hug

Lizzie sits down

Ethan: Hey Lizzie do you know where I can find a book on Columbus?

Cartoon faints

Cartoon: He's talking to me. YAH! He is so fine! AHHHH! Make the conversation longer. Ask him "what for, my darling?"

Lizzie: what for my dar - I mean - what for?

Ethan: Oh, Mel and I are doing an extra credit project in Geography. It's going to be SO cool to work with her!

Lizzie: I guess you like her a lot

Ethan: Totally! I like want to be with her as much as I can. She is like an angel to me. And ironically we have the same classes and teachers the same hours as each other. Ain't that awesome?

Cartoon: He used to think being with me was awesome. I should say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the worst day of my life! Why am I not happy for them though? Mel is a soon-to-be-friend. I should support her. But it's Ethan Craft!

Ethan: Lizzie?

Lizzie: Yah, awesome.

Points to a bookshelf

Lizzie: they're over there

Ethan: Thanks!

Melissa walks over towards Ethan, smiles at Lizzie, and then continues walking towards Ethan.

Lizzie grins

Lizzie: Miranda…how about tonight…you and I go to the movies?

Miranda: Why?

Lizzie giggles

Lizzie: Tonight, Ethan and Melissa are going out…we can ruin their date, break them up, and then Ethan will have NO choice but to come to me

Miranda stares at Lizzie

Miranda: isn't that a little mean?

Cartoon: no way! I know what I'm doing. I can get Ethan to be M I N E. Then everything will be perfect-o! I think…
