Don't You Want Me Pt. 2
Sorry this took so long. I got wrapped up with a Crash project for the past few months and didn't have time to do this. But now season 6 is all up - yay! I'm hoping to get some/most of S3 done during August and then I'll start Season 7 whenever the N or CTV starts showing it. See you back here then :)
Oh and I updated my info page a bit. If anyone has any communities or websites that they would like to affiliate with, please leave a message here and I'll add you!
Jen :)
-At Zanzibar-
Announcer: Please give it up for Lextasy.
*Alex walks off the stage*
Mel: How was it?
Alex: Honestly? The most terrifying experience of my life. I think I’m going to throw up.
Mel: Paige called. She wants you to call her back.
Alex: Mel! This never happened, okay?
*She makes a signal that she’ll keep Alex’s secret*
-At Alex’s-
Paige: Hey sweets! I brought falafels.
Alex: Is that the only reason you came over? To fatten me up?
Paige: No. Um in fact…it’s not. I thought about what you said about labels, straight, bi, lesbian, whatever. I really, really care about you and I’ve decided to try to get over my fears. So Ms. Nuñez will you be my sweetheart?
*Alex kisses her*
Alex: There’s your answer sweetheart.
-At Alex’s, the next morning-
Emily: Morning. Your regular cookie.
Alex: Mom.
*Emily drops the bag of cookies on the table and takes off her hairnet*
Alex: God how can you stomach those things after a night shift?
Emily: Hey each cookie I mechanically assemble gets us one step closer to keeping a roof over our heads.
Alex: Will this help?
*She holds up the money*
Emily: Holy. Did you rob a bank?
Alex: Job at a schmancy bistro equals big tips. That’s for the rent fund.
Emily: Thank you so much honey. You know that you’re the one thing I’ve ever done that turned out right.
Alex: Don’t be so sure. Right now I’ve got an exam.
-At Degrassi-
*Alex is falling asleep during the test and tries hard to concentrate*
-At the Dot-
Jay: Eeyore, have you seen my friend Sean around?
Sean: Um sorry. It’s just everything’s about to change.
Jay: It’s about time you got some fresh gitch.
Sean: I’m talking about my life, jackass. Emma thinks she’s pregnant.
Jay: Are you serious? Congratulations man. Score!
Sean: Score? What have you been drinking break fluid?
Jay: You have got her, bro forever. Now this way Emma can’t ditch your ass when she comes to her senses.
Sean: Give me a break, alright? Knocking her up was never part of the plan.
Jay: This is your ticket, Sean. Ready made family, life at the garage. You’re set for life. Isn’t that what you always wanted?
-At a club-
Ellie: Did you tip or is every last dime still going to your dad?
Marco: Tip I did, gloomy one. I also have one for you. When boy hunting, try to look like you’re having fun.
Ellie: Jesse!
Jesse: You look great Ellie.
Jay: So what’s in the bag? A gesture of sweet, sweet romance?
Paige: This? A little post-exam gift for my belle. Super on sale.
*Alex pulls out a red dress*
Mel: Sexy! It’s perfect for work.
Alex: Hilarious Mel. She’s, she’s joking.
Paige: Good. But as far as jokes go, hon? Not so funny. The thought of you wearing a parka in that place gives me an emotional boil.
Alex: Well then I guess I’ll just have to perform an emotional lancing. Tomorrow night I’ll quit. I’ll find a new job.
Paige: Are you serious? Best present ever! I suddenly feel like dancing!
*She goes dancing with Marco*
Mel: New job?
Alex: As far as Paige knows, you bet.
Jay: A big, fat lie. Now there is a solid foundation for a relationship.
Alex: Yeah. A complicated one and if she finds out I’m an exotic dancer, there won’t be one at all.
Jay: Well good luck with that, Lextasy. You see when a hot girl shakes her naked ta-tas for a living, word gets around.
-At Degrassi-
Ms. Hatzilakos: Alex! You have a minute?
Alex: Yeah.
Ms. Hatzilakos: People are talking about you.
Alex: Whatever. It’s all lies.
Ms. Hatzilakos: These people are your teachers. They’re all very impressed on how you’ve had a major turnaround this year. However I did hear about your organic chem. exam. It’s not exactly your best work. Is everything okay?
Alex: Yeah. Uh couldn’t be better, Ms. H. I’ll study harder next time, okay?
Ms. Hatzilakos: Listen I wanted to talk to you about university.
Alex: Yeah universities cost money.
Ms. Hatzilakos: There are scholarships or loans, I’ll wrote you a glowing reference and with some part time work-
Alex: Is that all?
*She nods and Alex leaves*
-Outside the school-
Sean: How was your exam?
Emma: I managed. Thanks for the study help.
Sean: Okay if you’re pregnant, let’s keep the baby if that’s okay with you.
*They hug*
Emma: Yes, yes, yes! It’s okay with me. Just us doing this together makes it okay with me.
Sean: Just promise me your parents won’t kill me.
Emma: Well there will be serious drama, but it’s better than boot camp.
Sean: I’m still going to enlist, Emma.
Emma: What?
Sean: I’d send money. I’d see you on leave. It’s best for everyone.
Emma: Leaving me alone? It’s the worst idea Sean. It’s ridiculous.
Sean: I wouldn’t bail on you, Emma. I just want to get a career. I want a chance to become something.
Emma: And I’m stuck being a teen mom. Well that’s fantastic. Why are guys so typical?
-At Zanzibar-
Vlad: All by yourself sweetheart?
Alex: I didn’t want to join the dressing room nose candy party.
Vlad: Smart girl, but that tells me you need the money for something else.
Alex: Yeah. I’m just not sure dancing topless for a bunch of lonely pervs is worth it. No offence.
Vlad: Allan here is one of my best clients.
Allan: Lextasy is it? Is that French?
Alex: Look Vlad I don’t think I can do this anymore. If you still need a waitress, I can-
Vlad: But you are a natural, Alex. I like you. My clients like you. So I’m going to give you weekend shifts. Huge money. Cash every night.
Alex: What’s the catch, aside from taking my clothes off?
Vlad: Just be sexy.
Announcer: Lextasy to the stage please.
Paige: Mel! Where’s Alex? I want to wish her a happy last night in the cesspool.
Mel: You should go Paige.
Announcer: And next up, one hand meets the other for the sexy Lextasy.
*Paige watches as Alex goes to the stripping room*
-After Alex’s performance, she walks offstage-
Alex: Paige, what are you-?
Paige: Oh I just thought I’d drop in, check out some naked chicks and surprise! One of them was you.
Alex: It’s not what you think.
Paige: I saw you stripping! Devoid of clothing. What is there to think? What else aren’t you telling me? How bad is it that you have to do this?!
Alex: I’m doing what I have to do, okay? Just don’t worry and don’t be mad please.
Paige: How can I not worry?
Vlad: What is all this? Young lady if you want a job, auditions are on Thursdays. Goodbye.
*Paige throws the flowers at Alex and leaves*
-At Degrassi, people are setting up for the winter dance-
Darcy: So your votes for winter fest ice queen, are you taking bribes?
Manny: You’re our girl, Darcy.
Darcy: Thanks for helping set up. It would be a winter-y nightmare without you.
Manny: I had a nightmare. Mr. Armstrong chased me off a cliff. Must have been that functions exam. Emma, help I’m falling!
*Manny pretends to fall on Emma*
Emma: Stop it. I’m sorry. I’m just trying to skip over the whole functions memory.
Manny: Speaking of functions, when we lived together we were in synch. Last week I asked you for a tampon, but you weren’t you know…
Emma: I think Sean and I had an accident.
Manny: Oh no. Are you sure?
Emma: I think so. I didn’t know it was possible to be this scared.
*Manny hugs her*
-At Zanzibar-
Allan: Buy you a drink, Lextacy?
Alex: Wait ten minutes Allan. Show’s free.
Allan: Sorry. Have a good night.
Alex: Who are you? Five words or less.
Allan: Entrepreneur, golfer, divorced twice, old and lonely.
Alex: That’s seven.
Allan: You’re counting the ‘and’?
Alex: My turn. I’m a lesbian.
Allan: Huh. I just wanted to talk.
Alex: Super. Thing is, my partner wants me to quit working here and uh it’s getting hard to find reasons not to.
Allan: You know it takes a brave, supremely confident woman to do what you do. She can’t handle it, her loss.
Alex: Thing is I don’t want to lose her.
Allan: I bet she doesn’t want to lose you either.
*He gives her some money*
Allan: Here. For your time.
-At Marco and Ellie’s-
Marco: Ellie! Rise and shine sleepyhead. El? Half hour ‘til class. Hey come on!
*He opens the door*
Ellie: No, no, no, no. Stay down!
Jessie: What? What?
*Marco sees Ellie and Jesse in bed together and he quickly leaves*
-At the Dot-
*Alex and Paige start talking at the same time*
Alex: There’s something-
Paige: I just want to-…sorry you first.
Alex: I’m sorry you had to find out the truth like that. The look on your face at the bar…
Paige: You need help. So I’ll forgive you, erase that image from my memory and we’ll celebrate your new job at the dance. There’s an internship at my mom’s company.
Alex: Paige I have a job, okay?
Paige: Exploiting yourself is not a job, so swallow your stupid pride and accept help when it’s offered.
Alex: My mom and I are this close to being evicted. I do this because I have to. Get it?
Paige: No. I will never ever get why you would take your clothes off for money. For any reason ever!
Alex: I don’t know; female empowerment?
Paige: That’s bovine fecal matter and you know it, Alex.
Alex: I’ll have enough in a week or two.
Paige: Until something else comes up. Every night that you do this, it kills me. When does it stop?
Alex: Maybe when I make enough for tuition or when I get my mommy’s magic credit card, like yours. This is my reality Paige and if you can’t be there for me, we have no future.
Paige: Sorry Alex. I can’t.
Alex: Have fun at the stupid dance.
-At Emma’s-
Spike: Pregnant! Everything we’ve talked about was supposed to prevent this.
Emma: It’s not your fault, mom.
Spike: Okay, first things first. Take the test. If it’s positive, we’ll make you a doctor’s appointment.
Emma: Okay, but remember these tests are only 99% accurate.
Spike: Here we go again.
Emma: Ah!
Spike: Is everything okay, honey?
Emma: Yeah. It’s more than okay. I got my period.
Spike: Yes!
*Spike hugs Emma and Manny starts dancing around with her*
Manny: Go Emma! You got your period and you’re not pregnant. We’re going dancing. Let’s go get dressed up. We’re going dancing!
-At Zanzibar-
Alex: Hey golfer, glad to see you.
Allan: So things with the girlfriend?
Alex: Big, huge, apocalypto fight. This so-called confident woman is feeling pretty pathetic right now.
Allan: Look Lextasy, whatever your name is, come to Vegas with me.
Alex: Vegas? Okay what part of ‘I’m a lesbian’ didn’t you get?
Allan: I’m not asking you to fall in love with me. Think of it as another job. Name your price.
*Alex slaps him and Vlad rushes over*
Alex: You pig! If you even look at me-
Vlad: Control yourself or there will be problems. Are we clear?
Alex: I’ve got my own problems, scumbag. I quit!
-At the dance-
Sean: Surprised you’re here. Why won’t you return my calls?
Emma: Because there’s nothing to talk about. I got my period. False alarm.
Sean: Really? Are you serious?
Emma: It’s not something I’d joke about.
Sean: That’s awesome, right? So what now?
Emma: I don’t know. You’re off to basic training. I’m going to university next year.
Sean: When I get back-
Emma: Stop. Maybe we shouldn’t make any plans right now.
Sean: Can I at least have a dance?
*Emma smiles and they start to dance*
-At Alex’s-
*Emily walks in as Alex is packing up some stuff*
Emily: What are you doing? We don’t have to move.
Alex: I quit my job. What can we sell?
Emily: You quit? That was good money, Alex. That was, that was money we all need.
Chad: Guess who made bail?
Alex: Oh perfect. How exactly?
Emily: You kind of helped.
Alex: You used the money for him?! Ask me where that cash came from, mom! Ask me! Do you know what I had to do?
Emily: Alex, we’re all gonna get out of this together.
Alex: Wrong. You’re pathetic mom. From now on you’re on your own.
Emily: Alex!
*Alex storms out with her duffle bag*
-At the dance-
*Darcy and Toby have won winter king and queen*
Toby: Think JT would have liked my crown?
Liberty: Yeah Toby Isaacs, ice king? You never would have lived that down.
Spinner: Lost your date?
Paige: It’s a solo flight tonight. I guess it’s just us friends.
Spinner: Me going stag, I get. But you? Dude I don’t get this crazy world.
*Danny and Derek are shown getting rejected by Manny and Mia so they start dancing together*
Alex: Do you know this is my first Degrassi dance? Do you like my dress?
Paige: Shouldn’t it be on the floor at work?
Alex: I’ve screwed up a lot, but if I let you go it’ll be the biggest screw-up of my life. So I quit stripping, for real.
Paige: Hon this is happy news!
Alex: Chad’s back. I can’t go home. I have nothing. Just help me, please.
Paige: Sweetie you have me. How about a little faux-snow dance therapy?
Alex: The only dancing I’ll be doing from now on.
*They start dancing and everyone is shown having a good time*
