"Love Problems"

Scene 1- Hangout

(Penelope had a laptop while she, Devon, Stephanie, Portland, Trevor and Lucas were reading an email from Chloe when Mack walks up.)

Mack Dylan Cooper- Hey, guys, what's up?

Portland Madison- Chloe is spending a semester in Antarctica with her Aunt Vidia.

Mack Dylan Cooper- And I'm suppose to care why?

Stephanie Williams- Well, your ex-girlfriend is leaving you.

Penelope Ann Huff- Doesn't that bother you a little?

Mack Dylan Cooper- No, why you might ask, because I broke up with her not the other way around.

Lucas- Yeah, well I actually care that Chloe is gone.

Devon Jonson- Well, you're her boyfriend.

Trevor Mitchel- You're pretty much required to say that.

(Clair Higginbottom walks up.)

Clair Higginbottom- Hello, guys, as you all know, our Homecoming dance is almost here. And now that you guys are sophomore and FINALLY junior.

(Everyone looks at Stephanie.)

Clair Higginbottom- You guys should be use to this. Oh and, Devon do not beat up the freshman or humiliate them in any way.

Devon Jonson- No promises.

Clair Higginbottom- I will see you guys at the dance.

(Mr. Bullet walks over and he and Principal Higginbottom start doing the tango as they walk away.)

Stephanie Williams- That was odd.

Trevor Mitchel- Well, I have something to say to Portland.

Portland Madison- Ah man, here comes the break up speech. We had one stinkin' date Trevor, one stinkin' date and you're dumping me already.

Trevor Mitchel- Uh, no. I'm asking you to the homecoming dance.

Portland Madison- Oh, that's what all the fuss was about. Sure I wouldn't mind.

Mack Dylan Cooper- Hopefully you don't end up like Trevor's last homecoming date.

Portland Madison- And who was that?

(She glares at Trevor.)

Devon Jonson- That was Natalia Trunzo.

Stephanie Williams- She got expelled several months ago.

Mack Dylan Cooper- She was a piece of work.

Trevor Mitchel- Look, Portland, she was my girlfriend for one night and that was it.

Portland Madison- OK, look, since I don't wanna fight. We'll pick this up AFTER homecoming.

Trevor Mitchel- Alright.

Portland Madison- Good, now let's go.

(Portland, Trevor, Mack, Penelope and Lucas walk away.)

Stephanie Williams- Soooo.

Devon Jonson- Soooo.

Stephanie Williams- Since you're my, you know, boyfriend. Maybe we could go to homecoming.

Devon Jonson- I thought we were keeping us a secret.

Stephanie Williams- Well, maybe it wouldn't hurt to tell everyone. I mean we've been going out for-

Devon Jonson- A day. We've dated for a day.

Stephanie Williams- Please. Plus I heard Lilly would be there. You could make her jealous.

Devon Jonson- Fine, but don't tell anyone about us until I get there.

Stephanie Williams- Deal.

(Stephanie kisses Devon and walks away.)

Mack Dylan Cooper- Hey Penelope, since me and Chloe broke up and then me and Portland broke up do you think you might wanna go to the homecoming dance with me?

Penelope Ann Huff- Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

Mack Dylan Cooper- OK, OK, calm down. Now remember I'm giving you a chance so don't blow it.

Penelope Ann Huff- First, can you make out with me?

Mack Dylan Cooper- Uhh... Oh what the heck.

Lilly- Sure.

Devon Jonson- Well.

Lilly- See you around.

Devon Jonson- Yeah.

Lilly- Bye.

Devon Jonson- Bye.

Devon Jonson- Yeah, are you?

Lilly- NO!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE AFTER A MONTH YOU ALREADY HAVE A NEW GIRLFRIEND.

Devon Jonson- Well, you dumped me, what was I suppose to do, come begging for forgiveness. I'm not your little boy toy.

Lilly- I NEVER SAID YOU WHERE!!!

Devon Jonson- LILLY, I MOVED ON AND SO SHOULD YOU!!!

Devon Jonson- WHO NEEDS YOU!!!

Scene 4- The Mall

(Penelope is walking through a mall with Portland behind her caring about twenty bags.)

Portland Madison- OK, tell me again why you needed me to carry all your bags.

Penelope Ann Huff- Because I just got a manicure and I am not about to ruin it.

Portland Madison- Why, what's so special?

Penelope Ann Huff- Mack asked me to the homecoming dance. I've been waiting a year to be asked out by him. I must look gorgeous.

Portland Madison- Honey, you didn't look good as a red head, you don't look good with black hair and blue highlights you just don't look good at all.

Penelope Ann Huff- Shut up.

Portland Madison- Make me.

Scene 5- Boys Mansion: Coat Closet

(Devon and Stephanie were making out when Stephanie stopped.)

Stephanie Williams- Devon, something is bothering me.

Devon Jonson- What?

Stephanie Williams- Well, why do you wanna keep us a secret?

Devon Jonson- Because, it's weird. Me and you are known to wanna kill each other. People might think we're crazy.

Stephanie Williams- So, is that your opinion?

Devon Jonson- No, but-

Stephanie Williams- Then who cares.

Devon Jonson- Look, Stephanie, this will all be over tonight when we reveal. But promise me you won't do it without me.

Stephanie Williams- OK, OK.

Portland Madison- Yeah, we'll be over there if you need us.

Tim Bullet- How are you enjoying yourself Ms. Williams?

Stephanie Williams- It's OK, I guess.

Tim Bullet- Good, good.

(Tim Bullet walks away when Lilly walks up.)

Lilly- Hey, Stephanie.

Stephanie Williams- Hi.

Lilly- Have you seen Devon, I wanna see what run down hairless wart picking girlfriend he chose over me.

Stephanie Williams- WHY DON'T YOU KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF!!!

Lilly- Excuse me, what did you just say?

Stephanie Williams- I mean, GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!

(Stephanie pushes Lilly out of her way and walks to the punch bowl. Over at the punch bowl Mack and Penelope walk over.)

Mack Dylan Cooper- What was going on between you and Lilly?

Penelope Ann Huff- No.

Mack Dylan Cooper- Not really.

(Mack and Penelope walk away and Stephanie looks at her watch.)

Stephanie Williams- When will he be here?

(Portland and Trevor walk over.)

Portland Madison- Look, we've been thinking.

Trevor Mitchel- And we're gonna cheer you up since your date ditched you.

Stephanie Williams- Oh, please. Even my grandfather is more interesting than you. And he polishes his shoes for fun.

Portland Madison- Fine.

Trevor Mitchel- We won't try cheering you up.

Portland Madison- Let's go.

Trevor Mitchel- I'm right behind you.

(Portland and Trevor walk off. Over by Mack and Penelope.)

Mack Dylan Cooper- Look, Penelope, I'm sorry but I don't feel anything between us other than awkwardness.

Penelope Ann Huff- What are you trying to say?

Mack Dylan Cooper- Well, I think we're better friends then boyfriend and girlfriend.

Penelope Ann Huff- But, but.

Stephanie Williams- Devon. You finally came.

Devon Jonson- Look Stephanie-

Stephanie William- We're through Devon.

Devon Jonson- Wait Stephanie. I didn't show up because I was worried.

Stephanie Williams- I don't want us to be hidden.
