Scene XV: Friday afternoon in the living room.
Drake and Josh come home after a taxing week at school. They're thankful for the weekend to finally arrive. Two more nights of fun before their parents come home on Sunday. Megan is upstairs in her room. Jen is nowhere to be found. She's meeting with a real estate agent about the perfect apartment.
Josh: I'm so glad this week is over. I swear I had a test every day…
Drake: There were tests? I thought they were joking…
Josh: You're a genius you know that?
Drake: If they were tests, they would have mentioned that!
Josh: Drake! They were midterms!
Drake: Well, I don't listen to them anyway. Their words bore me.
Megan comes downstairs. She looks upset, but the boys are oblivious.
Megan: Boobs.
Drake and Josh in unison: Demon.
Megan: Where's Jen?
Drake: I don't know. She didn't give me her schedule today (sarcastically).
Josh: I'm sure she's out looking at apartments.
Megan: Well, when's she supposed to be home?
Drake: If I knew that, then I'd know where she was!
Josh: Why are you so hung up on where Jen is?
Megan: No reason.
Drake: Are you ok? What's up?
Megan: How I'm feeling is none of your bees guts! Why are you so concerned now?
Drake: Did anybody say anything to you? Did some guy put the moves on you?
Josh: Something happened, didn't it.
Megan: I'm fine. Don't worry about it.
Josh: Megs, you look like you were crying. Please? Talk to us.
Megan gives in and begins to cry again. Drake and Josh look at each other and immediately assume the worst. They try their best to control their anger. They lead Megan to the kitchen and sit at the table.
Drake: What happened?
Megan sighs heavily. She knows that what she's about to say will put them over the edge.
Megan: Remember Neal from my class? The one that played drums for you?
Drake: Yeah…..
Megan: Well, he asked me out on a date. And…..
Josh: He asked you out? Why are you so upset?
Drake: Yeah… he just asked you out.
Megan: Will you boobs shut up and let me finish? I said no. Then….
Megan felt the tears welling up again, but she wasn't going to let it happen again. She collected herself and finished telling the story.
Megan: Then, he started putting moves on me. I told him to stop, and he got mad.
Drake: DID HE HURT YOU? I swear….
Megan: No, he didn't put a hand on me. He got mad because I wasn't falling for his charm.
Josh: What charm? Twelve-year-olds don't have charm.
Megan: He said that he learned everything from Drake. Drake taught him how to turn on the charm. He thought that if I was rejecting him, that I must be defective. He called me a lesbian!
Drake: Oh… my God…
Josh: Drake! What did you do? I was right, you were poisoning his mind!
Drake: Yeah, I gave him a little advice. I just never figured he'd use them on my little sister. Megan? Do you want us to take care of it?
Megan: I don't know what I want right now… I wish Mom was here. This was the worst week ever!
Megan runs upstairs to cry into her pillow again. This was the worst possible week for her Mom to be away. The one thing that happens to her, and she's not home. Then this happens with Neal, and the only people she has to talk to is her brothers. It couldn't possibly get any worse. Drake and Josh are left in the kitchen dumbfounded and speechless. Drake knew this would happen, and Josh didn't want to believe it would happen at all. It was time for them to protect their little sister.
