Macy(she is taking pictures of Joe and Stella at the bedroom while Kevin is holding the fan and Nick is holding the lamp) Great, now take her hand. (Joe takes Stella's hand)
What do you want me to do with it? (asks Macy)
Macy
(walks to Joe and Stella) Hold it. Now, look at her like you're in love.
Is that your in-love face or did you just eat a bad taco?
Macy
(takes more pics) Okay, moving on. (Joe and Stella are wearing winter clothes and they are holding ski equipment) Now you're skiing down a big hill. (Kevin throws snow at Stella) Smile. The wind is your face. All right, now swoosh to a stop. Okay, now a big hug.(Kevin is throwing snow then Joe and Stella begin to hug) A-all right. (Joe and Stella continue to to hug) Well, hug high and his arm. Uh, no-- you're getting a little tangled there. (sighs) (takes one last pic and Kevin is next to her) (Now gaze into each other's eyes. And closer. And closer. And closer. Now kiss her! (tells Joe to kiss Stella)
JSJoe and Stella
I'm done. (they walk away from each other then Macy stops taking pictures)
Okay, I'll admit it would have been kinda cool to be know as the "mystery girl" in Joe's life.
WWoman
Hey, it's the fake blonde! (Kevin and Nick are entering the party) (Big Man holds the door for Stella, Macy and Joe)
Macy
Hey, the fake blonde has a name! It's Stella Malone! (tells the woman) You can thank me later. (enters the party)
(worried) Macy, you have to help me. (closes Macy's locker) The most horrible thing has happened! (she puts her head on Macy's shoulder)
Macy
Your toenails don't match your purse?
Okay, that will never happen. But seriously read this. (gives the progress report to Macy to read)
Macy
(sees Stella's progress report) Oh, so, they finally figured out that you've avoided physical education all this time. (she gives Stella's progress report back to her)
Yeah, my guidance counselor finally got internet and realized that "shopper's elbow" isn't a real injury. So I have until the end of the semester to fill the requirement or it's, "hello summer school".
Macy
Then just take P.E.
Whoa whoa whoa. How much time do you have to get dressed in between classes?
Macy
About five minutes.
There's no way I can accomplish this in five minutes.
Macy
Stell, I've seen you change your entire look in the elevator between the first and second floor. What gives?
(turns her head at Nick's locker) You know, I'm lousy at sports.
Macy
Oh, yeah.
Thank you. Well, I don't want everyone else to know! It's so embrassing.
Macy
Okay. Don't worry. I'll help you. Just meet me after school in the gym. The big red building right next to the football field.
That's the school dance building.
Macy
Also known as the gym.
Macy
Of course you did. (she puts her arm around Stella then they walk away from the lockers)
Ooh, this is nice. It's really spacious. Love the hardwood floors. (taps the wood) Thanks again for helping me, Mace. I know this can be a challenge.
Macy
Oh, that's what best friends do-- they help each other. Like the time I broke my ankle and you painted my toenails so they'd looked good when the boys signed my cast.
MSMacy and Stella
Aww. (they walk to each other and they hug then they stop hugging)
Macy
Okay. So let's find out what you're good at. We're gonna start with something easy. (starts doing a handstand)
Oh! (chuckles) Um...That's something easy? (Macy is still doing a handstand)
Macy
Sure! Try it!
Macy
Stella, are you trying it?
Macy
Oh, isn't it fun?
Macy
This is my favorite thing to do. You're gonna be so awesome. (chuckles)
Macy
Oh, please.
Macy
(walks under the net with the notepad) Okay, that rules out anything that requires a racquet, (reads the notepad) any kind of ball, an opponent, a scoring system or movement of limbs.
There has got to be something that I can do. Ooh, what about "bow and arrows?" (drops the two racquets on the floor and takes one of the bow and arrow)
Macy
If you mean archery, that requires strength, and discipline and precision. And even if you had strength, and discipline, you'd still need precision.
How hard can this be? (trying archery but she fails again and she falls)
Macy
Well, that was very good for a beginner!
Macy
And surprisingly, no to hopscotch. (marks off the list)
Okay. How am I supposed to bend down and pick something up while I'm standing up on one foot? I mean, what am I, a spider monkey?
Macy
That's every sport recognized by the school district.
No no no no no no. No, Macy, that can't be! If I don't pass p.e., I'm goona have to make this up in summer school. (stands up) There has to be some sport I can get credit for! Like, what about-- What about this? (cleps hands above head) Isn't this a sport?
Macy
No, that's clapping your hands over your head.
Macy
I'm not sure what that is, but you're scaring me!
Macy
Huh? (Stella puts one hand on her head and one hand on her stomach)
I can do this! (she pats her head and stomach at the same time)
Macy
No, you can't. It's like this. (shows Stella the right way to do it)
(walks to her chair but she falls) I can't even sit.
Macy
Stella, I'm sorry. I feel like I let you down.
(puts her head up) No no no no. You did everything you could. You're amazing. It's not you, it's me. I'm a failure.
Macy
Stella, you are not failure. Sports just aren't your thing.
Macy
All right. I've gotta go. I've got volleyball practice. (stands up and takes her gym bag) And, we haven't won a game all season.
Well, it's no wonder. I mean, look at your uniforms. The shorts are bulky, the top is too tight.
Macy
I know. Every time I wear this, I sweat like a pig. I mean, I glisten like a pig.
Well, yeah, that's because that kind of fabric doesn't breathe. (stands up and walks to Macy) Not to mention the frumpy factor. I mean, if you don't look good, you're not going to play good.
Macy
I play good.
Macy
Hmm. (thinks about it)
Macy
(enters) Stella, I have great news! I talked to my volleyball coach about the frumpy uniforms that are making us lose. And she said if you can design 12 new uniforms by game-time tomorrow, she can give you full p.e. credit.
Macy, I love you! Thank you! Thank you. (both yelp) (Macy and Stella hug)
Macy
You're welcome! So can you do it?
Just watch me. (drops the net) But first... I need some dynamic music. (rock music playing)
Macy
Stella, this is amazing. Look how free I am-- yet, as cute as a button. (sighs) Whoever said you aren't an athlete hasn't seen you with a pair of scissors and measuring tape.
Thanks, Macy. Coming from you, that means a lot to me.
SMStella and Macy
Aww. (they hug then let go)
Macy
(sighs) So one down, 11 more to go, right?
Oh, yeah. (she and Macy continue to make the uniforms)
They're coming, I swear. Better late than never. (Joe and Nick left the classroom and they go to the table and Nick takes his lunch bag from Kevin then he sits upright) Finally, guys. (the three students walk away)
So you guys, I was thinking we should do something special for Stella for our "friend-a-versary" like throw her a party.
We need to figure out what kind of party a girl would like. You know what we need for that?
A girl. Excuse me, miss! (asks a female student)
No, Joe, not just any girl. We need Macy.
Macy
(pops up) You "Macy'd"?
Macy
I wasn't following you around trying to listen to your conversation if that's what you're suggesting.
Macy, we need your help. We want to throw a party for Stella.
Macy
Ooh! (sits down)
What kind of party would Stella really like?
Macy
Stella love surprises and I love surprises too. I love ice cream and-- and party games and balloon animals.
Macy
Oh right, Stella. Um... Stella loves karaoke.
That's right. We can throw her a surprise karaoke party. Can you come over later and help us plan it?
Macy
Are you serious?
Hey, guys. (walk over to the table)
Shh, remember, big surprise.
Oh no, I'm not good at this.
Not good at what? (asks Kevin)
(stammers) C--crunking. (stands up) (Nick grabs the lunch bag) (hip-hop music plays) (moans)
Kevin, let's crunk it over there, please. (stands up and takes Kevin's bag and lunch off the table then tosses the bag and the lunch to Kevin but Kevin picks up his bag and lunch)
Oh! oh! Okay. (Nick and Kevin leave Stella, Joe and Macy)
(sighs) Phew, he almost blew it.
Almost blew what? (sits down)
Macy
Uh...
This trumpet. (shows the music instrument and holds it) (laughs)
Macy: Right! 'Cause you're not allowed to blow it in the hallways. (chuckles)
I'll just go and put it in my locker.
Macy: You know what? (points to the instrument) That looks heavy. I'll go help you. (leaves with Joe)
Macy
(gasps) The croonmaster 5000. Stella's gonna freak. She thought the 4000 was awesome. (Joe opens the manual)
Yeah, but this one's even a thousand times more awesome. (flips the pages of the manual) But you've got to be a genious to figure out how to turn this thing on.
Macy
(takes the manual from Joe) Let me see this. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. (closes the manual and throws it on the floor) (dance music playing)
Hello! is anybody up there?
(gasps) Uh-oh! Stella's in the house.
Macy
Hide the evidence! (she lets the balloons go to the ceiling then covers the flowers) (StellaVator beeping to make the streamers go) (Joe presses a button the remote to make the balloons and the Croonmaster 5000 go up) (she takes the tablecloth off the ottomann) (Joe and Macy realize that they hide the manual then they dive to hide it under the tablecloth)
(enters the bedroom) Macy. What are you doing here... on the floor... with Joe?
Macy
I was... helping him with his math homework.
I didn't know you were any good in math.
(he and Macy stand up) Oh, she's very mathematical. That's why they call her "Mathy Macy."
No one has ever called her "Mathy Macy." And besides, I mean, I was the one that helped you with your math homework.
Yeah, I just thought I'd give a break I know what a handful I can be.
Macy
Yeah.
Oh. Well in that case, where are all the books, the calcucators... the crying?
Well, we're doing mental math. It's like jumping jacks for the brain.
Macy
(chuckles) Yeah.
Oh. Well, I just brought these pants to go with the friend-a-versary shirts and now I'll go. Don't want to keep you two from adding your figures together. (leaves)
Macy
Later.
So what are you up to later?
Macy
Huh? Oh-- uh-- sorry-- busy-- can't. (Joe tells Macy to meet him)
But I didn't even ask you anything yet.
Macy
Um-- hey Stella, have you seen Mr. Newman today? He's wearing that terrible sweater vest again, (Stella gasps) you know, with the cat's face on the front and the cat's butts' on the back. Yeah, he's right over there.
(about to take the phone from the purse) No! Where's my phone? I have to get a picture of him for my wall of shame. (turns around but Macy isn't there) Wait, where? Macy? Macy? (looks for Macy)
You can’t do homework later, cause you’re too busy...doing...homework?
Macy
Hey.
Hey. We need to figure out a way to keep Stella busy before the surprise party.
Macy
Right. We have to be sneaky.
(appears) Sneaky? About what? (Joe and Macy gasp)
Sneaky is the name of Macy's friend's cat. She ran away from home.
Macy
What? Oh! Right. I better put up these flyers... right after I make them. (leaves)
Hmm, so do you wanna maybe do some homework later? (Joe walks to her)
Later-- I can't. I'm going to be doing homework.
You can’t do homework later, because you’re too busy doing homework?
Oh. Okay. Well, I won't be able to see you later because I'll be too busy not seeing you. How do you like me now? (leaves)
Macy
Do you think she's onto us? (arrives again)
Macy
Good.
So you're still coming over later, right?
Macy
Oh of course. To do "homework." (leaves with Joe) (Stella is suspicious)
I know what's going on between you and Joe.
Macy
You do?
Yes, I do. All this sneaking off together.
Macy
We just wanted to surprise you.
Wait, what? Surprise me? What are you talking about?
Macy
What do you mean, what am I talking about?
Macy
Of course I like Joe.
Macy
I know you knew it.
Macy
How could I not know you know?
Macy
Stella! Wait, what are we talking about?
Macy
Of course I like Joe! Oh! Whoa! Wait wait! Stop the bus. There is nothing going on between me and Joe. (ringtone playing) Oh. (Joe calls)
Aren't you going to answer your phone?
Macy
No. Because I love my new ringtone. Doesn't it rock? (dances to the music)
Macy
Don't be silly.
(wants Macy's phone) Let me see your phone. Let me see your phone. Let me see your phone-- (phone shatters) (stomps)
Macy
(groans) Oh! I think the battery just died. (walks away from Stella) (Stella closes Macy's locker and picks up her bag then walks away mad)
Okay, I'll get Stella. Hang with her at school for an hour, then get back here for the big friend-a-versary surprise party.
Macy
Okay. let's synchronize our JONAS watches.
I don't have a JONAS watch... (puts his arm down and looks at Macy's watch) But according to yours, I'll be here 10 past Nick.
Macy
Okay but if you get here a quarter past to Kevin, you've blown it.
Okay. (fist bumps Macy then walks to his pole and slides down) (walks to the front door) (Stella opens the door then enters the JONAS firehouse with a bucket of popcorn and a movie)
(puts his hand on the wall to block Stella from entering) What are you doing here? We were supposed to meet at school.
Yeah, well, I thought it'd be more fun if we hung out here so I brought popcorn and rented a movie. (wants to enter but Joe is still blocking her from entering) Aren't you going to let me in?
Let's go get some ice cream. (holds her but she pushed him back via the movie) I know how you love ice cream.
I never eat ice cream unless a guy breaks up with me which has never happened, so I stand by my first statement. (tries to enter again but Joe prevents her)
Okay, tacos. Broken-hearted or otherwise, everybody loves a good taco. Vamanos.
(puts the movie on the table then lifts the couch cushions up) Where is she? (trying to find Macy)
Macy! (throws a cushion at Joe)
Macy? Why would Macy be here? (Macy slides down Joe's pole and he notices her) Let's dance. (dances with Stella)
Huh? What? Joe, what are you doing? (pushes Joe to the table and turns around to see Macy hanging on the pole) (gasps) I knew it.
Macy
Hey, guys. (screams)
(stands up) (stiffly) Macy? What are you doing in my house? (Stella looks at Joe with an angry look on her face)
Macy
Thanks for letting me use your pole, Joe. Bye. (climbs up the pole)
Macy! (Stella pushes Joe to the floor and runs after Macy) Get back here, Macy Misa! Look! If you want to date Joe behind my back, at least say it to my face. (tries to climb up the pole but unable to do it) These arms are made for sewing! (leaves)
Stella, wait! (runs upstairs after her)
It's our 15 year friend-a-versary.
Oh no no no. I can't believe it. So when you two are were acting and all dense and "Joe who?"
Just trying to keep a secret.
Oh, you meant our Joe. Oh. Okay.
How about we crank up the coonmaster 5000?
(gasps) The 5000? That's supposed to be like a thousands times more awesome than the 4000.
We know... thanks to Macy. She helped us plan this entire then with all your favorite stuff. (Nick, Kevin and Joe walk away)
Mace, um-- I think I owe you a huge apology--
Macy
No no no. You don't need to apologize for anything. I mean, I know you and Joe are-- well, you're not. I mean, you are so I would never. Because you two-- do anything to get in the way of that.
(laughs) Joe and I, we're just really great friends.
Macy
Yeah, great friends who have feelings for each other, but don't want to jeopardize their friendship so they hope that someday they will be brave enough to let their true feelings out.
Macy
Whatever, indeed.
Okay okay, I admit-- I mean, sometimes I do wonder what it would be like if Joe and I were brave enough. (P.A feedback)
(grunts) All right, everybody to get the karaoke started, I'm gonna sing one of Stella's favorite songs. Happy Friend-a-versary, Stella. (cheering) (ballad playing) (Stella smiles)
You know, I think it might be safer if Joe and I are just friends.
