Average Morning

Every one at Sterling Court was getting ready for the big roof party, a party thrown every year to get to know new residents of Sterling Court. While may be the 'official' reason, it's really just a way for people to get together and get drunk and party.

At Josh and Landon's apartment, Zach and Geneva sit at the kitchen table eating cereal waiting for Josh and Landon to get back.

Geneva: So what do you call these things?

Zach: They are called, Froot Loops. I can't believe you've never had them!

Geneva: Me neither, they're wonderful! So, you're saying that they sell these at grocery stores?

Zach: (Laughs) Geneva, you do realize that you're actually going to have to go shopping at other places other than malls and boutiques right?

Geneva: What do you mean?

Zach: Well, you're going to have to start going to places like grocery stores to get food now that you're on your own. You and Kim are both going to have to.

Geneva: Yeah, okay, I always see them, there's just never been a reason for either me and Kim to go into one.

Zach: I can't believe that you are both 18 years old and neither of you have been into a grocery store.

Geneva: Well, excuse me for not being all... I can't talk right now, this stuff is just too good! (Pours more Froot Loops into her bowl)

Kim walks in

Kim: Hey, there you are, what are you doing here?

Geneva: (Gets up with the bowl) Here taste this! (Stuffs a spoon full of Froot Loops in Kim's mouth)

Kim: Oh my god! What is that?

Geneva: They're called Froot Loops! Are they delectable!

Kim: (Takes the bowl) Mmmhmm!

Zach: My god, this is worse than watching that Paris and Nicole show!

Geneva: (Throws a Froot Loop at Zach.) Shut up Zach!

Kim and Geneva sit down at the table as Landon and Josh walk in carrying kegs

Landon: Beer delivery!

Josh: Budweiser express coming through!

Geneva: (Rolls her eyes and turns back to her cereal)

Landon sits down at the table

Landon: So what are y'all doing here?

Geneva: (Chewing) Shhh! I'm eating!

Landon: What?

Zach: Dude, it's the first time they've ever eaten cereal.

Josh: Why am I not surprised.

Kim: (Turns to Josh and points at him with her plastic cereal spoon.) Let those without plastic silverware as their main utensil cast the first insult.

Josh: Ouch! Hitting me where it hurts most! My home decor! Ouch!(Laughs)

Geneva: Really Kim, what do you expect from guys who use milk crates as nightstands?

Landon: Well excuse me, some of us don't have an unlimited amount of money at our disposal.

Josh: Plus, those milk crates kick ass!

Landon: Yeah they do!

Abby enters

Abby: So y'all ready for the party tonight?

Zach: You know it!

Abby: By the way, Geneva, I didn't see your car outside when I went running this morning. (Opens the fridge and pours some orange juice)

Geneva: Oh! Some ass crashed into me, so I took it to the auto people so they can fix the paint job.

Kim: Did you get his name? Maybe you can get his insurance to cover it.

Geneva: No, believe me, he wasn't worth my time.

Landon: Have you ever wondered why Goofy wears clothes, yet Mickey's dog, Pluto, doesn't wear any clothes and yet they're both dogs...

Zach: Where the hell did that come from?

Landon: Come on, doesn't it ever bug you?

Geneva: You bug me.

Kim: I for one have always wondered why Donald Duck puts a towel around his waist when he gets out of the shower, yet he never wears any pants.

Landon: Nice one Kimmy!

Geneva: Oh! Josh! You need to teach me how to work the air conditioner in me and Kim's apartment.

Josh: Okay, lets go.

Geneva follows Josh out of the apartment.

Zach gets up and goes over to Abby

Zach: You looking all fine in them workout clothes.

Abby: (Smiles) You think so?

Zach: Hell yeah

Landon: Get a room you two!

Zach: Fine, we'll go back to my apartment and chill, you wanna?

Abby: Actually, I've got to get me a quick shower and then skedaddle to work.

Kim: Where did you get a job?

Abby: At that recording studio a couple of blocks over.

Kim: Wow! That sounds nice!

Abby: Not really, I'm just answering the phone, but at least I got my foot in the door somewhere.

Landon: Abs! If you see Brice Springsteen...

Abby: You'll be the first one I call.

Landon: Sweet!

Abby and Zach leave.

Kim: Landon, do you realize we haven't gotten a chance to talk since I've been back. Whats been happening with you?

Landon: Nothing much, just the norm.

Kim: How's training going?

Landon: Sucks! Just like training should.

Kim: Awww, but you should be having fun.

Landon: Trust me Kim, I'll have some fun tonight!

Kim: Landon, I wish you wouldn't drink so much. I really worry about you.

Landon: Kim, I'm fine!

Kim: Don't tell me your fine, Landon, you've been drinking a lot lately. It really worries, me, you don't want to jeopardize your future. You really have a shot at the NFL, at least that's what I think.

Landon: (Smiles) You really think so?

Kim: Of course I do. (Takes his hand and smiles) You know I believe in you.

Landon: You really do don't you.

Kim: Oh sweetie, yes.

Reed hears them talking and cracks the door of the apartment and sees them holding hands.

Landon: Kim, you know, I really need to tell you something.

Reed walks in abruptly

Reed: Kim! There you are darling, I've been looking for you. (He leans down and kisses her.)

Kim: Hi, me and Landon we just chatting.

Reed: (Doesn't even look at Landon) Hey, I thought we could go on the yacht today, maybe forget about this lame party tonight and have our own party on the lake.

Kim: (Looks at him oddly) Reed, I thought we agreed to take it slow, besides, I really want to go to this party tonight, I think it'll be fun.

Reed: Oh come now darling, it'll just be a bunch of delinquents getting hammered and dancing like idiots.

Landon: I don't know what kind of boring ass parties you go to, but thats pretty much what makes a party.

Kim: (Laughs) Plus, Landon and Josh are two of the honored guests, they are the only ones to recieve a full ride to Hotchkiss.

Reed: (Looks at Landon and smiles) Congratulations.

Landon: Thanks man, I really appriciate that.

Reed: (Turns back to Kim) Come on lets go off today.

Kim: No, me and Geneva are going shopping for party dresses and make up, then we're going to the liquer store to try out our fake ID's! (Giggles) My name is Jael Cossi and Geneva is Zelda Ferry!

Landon: Thats awesome! Me and Josh are Amerigo Enestas and Bruno Hardcrush!

Kim and Landon laugh and Reed rolls his eyes

Reed: What ridiculous names!

Kim: Oh it's fun!

Josh and Geneva walk in with Peyton following.

Peyton: Geneva, I still can't believe you didn't know how to work a thermastat.

Geneva: Well now I know, and thanks for telling her Josh!

Josh: Hey, I'm proud of you. For someone who's never used one before, you really got in there and took charge.

(Everyone laughs)

Geneva: Alright, alright! Everyone laugh at the dumb little rich girl!

Peyton: Aww, no one thinks you and Kim are dumb, just a little sheltered

Josh: Or... reality impared.

Kim: How did my name get into this conversation?

Peyton: Kim, to be fair, you did ask me where I could buy cupcake mix yesterday.

Kim: Yeah, and I'm still waiting for an answer, all you did was laugh and walk away.

Geneva: (Puts on her sunglasses and tugs at Kim's arm) Come on Jael, lets get some liquer illegally.

Kim: Coming Zelda! (Laughs and grabs her purse) See y'all later.

Reed: (Waits for Kim and Geneva to be out of sight and then turns to Landon) Landon, I would greatly appriciate it if in the future, you'd keep your hands off my fiancee.

Josh and Peyton look at each other in shock and then turn back to Reed and Landon

Landon: Dude, seriously... what?

Reed: I walked in on you two holding hands. Thats not going to happen again.

Peyton: I'm going to interupt this little pow wow here for a second, now Reed, Kim was telling us that you and her had a talk and that you are not engaged anymore.

Reed: So?

Peyton: So, wouldn't that mean that she's not your fiancee?

Reed: Peyton, thats not the point, the point is Landon she keep his hands off what is not his.

Landon: Wow, you are really paranoid. Me and Kim are just friends.

Reed: Maybe I don't want you to be her friend anymore.

Landon: Maybe we should let Kim decide that.

Reed: She doesn't have too, I've made the decision for her.

Josh: You know Reed, last time I checked, Kim was her own person.

Reed: Josh this doesn't concern you.

Josh: I'd say it does, Kim and Landon are two of my best friends.

Reed: (Ignores Josh and turns back to Landon) I just want you to keep your hands off her, do I make myself clear?

Landon: Okay, how about this, I'll do whatever the hell I want, do I make myself clear?

Reed: (Smirks and turns to leave) Just watch your back.

Reed leaves.
