Scene starts at the Max restaurant Mac and Ellie walk in
Mac (narrating)
It's the weekend, and when you're young there's nothing better than the weekend.
Ellie (narrating)
Whether it's spending the day at a theme park, or watching tv all day, the weekend is special.
They soon walk over to their friend sitting down
Ashley
I can't wait to spend the weekend with my dad.
Denny
I love your dad, he's the best pediatrician around. He still gives lollipops.
D.C
Does he give you one after every shot?
Sophia
Shut up D.C, you still need mom to hold your hand when you get a shot.
D.C
I thought we were never gonna talk about that.
Vanessa
Well I hope you have fun with your dad, my dad is out of town on business.
Ashley
He says he has a surprise for me.
Ellie
What do you think it is?
Ashley
I don't know, but the last time he took me to a five star restaurant and let me order anything I wanted, I ate a cheeseburger that was $50, best burger ever.
Mac
Did you go to Milton's or the Ritz?
Ashley
Oh, Milton's.
Mac
See Milton's is good with the gourmet sauce but the Ritz, you get the sauce and caramel onions.
D.C
Dude this is fifty dollars for a cheeseburger.
Ashley
The best cheeseburger in the world.
Sophia
Compared to the cheeseburger we eat here every week, we pay about the same amount.
Soon Ashley dad, doctor Scott Miller walks in
James Marsden as Scott Miller
Ashley
Daddy.
Scott
Hey, sunshine.
Everyone
Hey, Dr.Miller
Scott
You are ready to go.
Ashley
Yeah, I'm so excited.
Denny
Hey, Dr.Miller do you have any lollipops?
Scott
Gee, Denny I'm but...(he pulls and hand full of lollipops out of her pocket)
Mac
Cool.
Ellie
Thanks Dr. Miller
Scott
Oh, D.C I'll see you and your mom next week for your flu shot.
He leaves with Ashley as D.C grips his shoulder
Denny
Here, have a lollipop buddy. (he gives him the lollipop)
Ashley is watching tv at her when her dad comes over
Scott
Hey, Ashley I have something to tell you.
Ashley
Are we going the another fancy dinner, is it the Ritz?
Scott
(laughs for a second) No. I met someone.
Ashley
Oh, again.
Scott
What's that about?
Ashley
Dad, so far in my life you have four girlfriends you claim you loved.
Scott
Don't be so dramatic.
Ashley
The weather lady.
Scott
Ok, she..
Ashley
The Orthodontics, the nurse
Scott
Well they...
Ashley
Let's not forget the cake decorator, she wrote I hate you have a terrible life on a pretty good cake.
Scott
Ok, I get it, I have the worst track records, with dating. But this one is different, her name is Lisa and she...
Ashley
Let me guess: lawyer, teacher no waitress right.
Scott
No, she is a single parent and she has a daughter your age. She works at a clothing boutique. That's how we met actually, I was picking out a new outfit for you, had no idea what to get and she helped me, next thing I know where talking over coffee. I really like her sweetheart.
Ashley
Ok, well I'll try and like her too. But if this doesn't work out, I'm gonna help you find dates from now on.
Scott
Deal.
They hug
Scene goes to the next day where Ashley and her dad are waiting for Lisa
Ashley
I hope her daughter is fun, and not like some jerk.
Scott
Her daughter is sweet, and she likes dancing, and drama just like you.
Ashley
What school does she go to?
Scott
I think the same as yours.
Ashley
What clothing boutique, single mom, same school as me, dad I think your...
Scott
Oh Lisa, over here.
Lisa and her daughter Vanessa walk over to them
Vanessa
Ashley?
Ashley
Vanessa?
Ashley
Your mom's dating my dad.
Vanessa
Your dad's dating my mom.
Scott
So it looks like the girls are getting along.
Scene goes dark, now back to where we left off
Ashley
Dad, how did you not know you were dating Vanessa's mom?
Vanessa
Mom how did you not know you were dating Ashley's dad?
Scott
Well Ashley was four when Jessica and I broke up.
Vanessa
But, the birthday parties, sleepover.
Lisa
I never met Scott, Jessie took Ashley to all of them.
Ashley
So you two never knew about one another.
Scott
By the time you started pre-school your mom and I got divorce. The one of your mom's friends I met was Zack and Kelly.
Lisa
We can just go, if it's too much.
Ashley
No, no it ok.
Vanessa
Just a shock for us, that's all.
Lisa
Ok, well Scott and I will be over there, and see you soon.
Their parents walk away as Ashley and Vanessa sit down
Vanessa
Wow, this is...
Ashley
Yeah I know, your mom is dating my dad.
Vanessa
Image if they moved in together.
Ashley
And got engaged
Vanessa
And married
Ashley
Spring or summer
Vanessa
Hello, summer.
Ashley
(at the same time) So that way we can be a part of the perfect summer wedding.
Vanessa
(at the same time) So that way we can be a part of the perfect summer wedding.
Ashley
(at the same time) We're gonna be sisters.
Vanessa
(at the same time) We're gonna be sisters.
They hug at the idea
It is Monday morning at school and Ashley and Vanessa are excited to share with their friends the news
Ashley
So if our parents get married then Vanessa and get to be step sisters.
Sophia
It seems like fun at first but trust me, after a while you wish you can be an only child.
D.C
Yeah, first draw on your homework, or take too long in the bathroom. Then they tell you they have another...wait, are we talking about you or siblings in general.
Ellie
Plus, didn't you use to talk about how much he hated Steven.
Ashley
Well I didn't have a choice, plus Steven spends his weekend with his mom, so if this works out with my dad and Lisa, goodbye Steven hello Vanessa
Mac
So how did your mom react?
Ashley
(with a shocked look on her face) What?
Denny
How did your mom react to her best friend dating her ex husband.
Ashley
I don't know, she happily married so she should let my dad date whoever he wants, including Lisa
They have no idea of know but Jessie is over hearing everything because they are standing right outside her office
Later Jessie goes over to Lisa's store
Lisa
Jessie, how are...
Jessie
Of all the people to date you go out with Scott?
Lisa
Jessie, look I didn't
Jessie
What, want me to know was that he was my ex husband, and Ashley's father.
Lisa
All he said was he was divorce with a daughter, he was a really nice guy.
Jessie
Lisa, your my best friend and he was my ex-husband
Lisa
You've been divorce for a long time, you never introduced us, so how I was I supposed to know that Scott, was Scott your ex-husband.
Jessie soon leaves the store
Later that night Ashley heard about what Jessie did
Ashley
Mom, what did you do?
Jessie
What?
Ashley
Vanessa told me, you told her mom about how you're not happy about her dating dad, why would you do that?
Jessie
Honey, listen it...
Ashley
No mom, I don't get it. You've been divorce for ten years now. And dad said nothing when you married Paul, so why would you do this?
She walks away leaving Jessie upset
The next day at school, Jessie is still upset over what she did to Lisa, when Slater comes in
A.C
Here, principal Soprano I got you a cup of coffee.
Jessie
Thank you Slater, let me ask you, am I a terrible person?
A.C
Not terrible, but sometimes too much.
Jessie
I told Lisa, I wasn't cool, she was dating my ex-husband Scott.
A.C
Why?
Jessie
I don't know why? I was done with Scott forever after the divorce, but him dating my best friend, it really bothers me.
A.C
Jessie, it's normal. I remember when Morris got Kelly, at first I was mad, but I got over it, I dated you, but then we broke up, and had we never broken up I never would have married Sarah, and you Scott. Sometimes you have to let them go.
Slater leaves. Soon Lisa, Vanessa, Jessie and Ashley are at Lisa's shop when Scott comes in
Lisa
Scott, what are you doing here?
Jessie
I invited him here. I wanted to say I'm sorry for how I acted. It's not my place to decide who you date.
Ashley soon hugs her mother
Scott
Lisa, I still hope we...
Lisa says nothing walks over to him and kisses him
Vanessa
So does that mean...
Lisa
Yes, were still dating
Ashley
(at the same time) One step closer to becoming sisters
Vanessa
(at the same time) One step closer to becoming sisters
Vanessa and Ashley hug
