Jesse and his friends walk through the front gate. They see a silver SUV.

Brandon: Looks like you have visitors.

Jesse: I'm afraid they'll be family soon.

Brandon: Aren't those the cops that we saw the other day.

Jesse: Yep. It turned out that they're my mom's friends.

Andrew: Well, good luck.

They walk into the house.

Helen: So, how was the beach?

Jesse: The waves were great.

Mike: You know, I used to surf. I was real good at it, too.

Jesse: I'm sure you were. Mom, I'm going to check on the office. See ya guys later.

Helen: Ok. Bye. He loves going to the company. He basically runs it when I'm out.

Joe: Experience at a young age.

Helen: I'm so proud of him. He has really helped and supported this family. His siblings look up to him.

At the office:
As soon as Jesse walks into the building, he is covered by a group of press and their cameras. Jesse waves and walks directly towards the elevator. This isn't the first time he encountered these people. He enters the office, and sits behind the desk. A knock on the door.

Jesse: Yes?

Secretary: Your shirt and vest, and your mother's dress are ready.

Jesse: Thank you.

Secretary: Oh, by the way....these came in earlier today. A huge bouquet of flowers was sent in.

Jesse: I'll take care of those. Thank you.

The secretary leaves.

Jesse: Let's see what we have here.

The card reads:
From: Roy.

Jesse: Of course. Ah....let's take you home.

He leaves the office.

Jesse: Alright everyone, I'll see you guys at the party tomorrow.

Jesse arrives at the house.

Leonard, the Butler: Master Williams, I can take those off your hands, and send them up.

Jesse: Thanks, Leonard.

Leonard enters the living room.

Leonard: Madam, this came in for you.

Helen: Oh, Roy.

Jesse walks in.

Joe: Roy Collins?

Helen: Yes. You two know each other?

Mike: Who doesn't know him.

Jesse is listening.

Jesse: I've heard that name before (To himself).

Jesse: I'll be in my room.

Jesse goes up to his room. He opens up his laptop.

Jesse: Let's see why this "Roy" is so important.

He types in "Roy Collins". The page says:" Roy Collins is a multi millionaire who...."

Jesse: Just what this house needed.

Leonard (through the intercom): Master Williams, your mother asks if everything is prepared for tomorrow.

Jesse (through the intercom): It's all taken care of.
