Antonia: Jules I�m in crisis. Julia: Hi Tony what�s up? Antonia: Mom has gone too far this time. Julia: (sits down on her bed and starts fumbling through some of her CD�s) What did she do now? Antonia: She thinks that I need a boyfriend. Julia: Oh poor you. What�s so bad about that? (She picks a CD, gets up, and walks over to her CD player) Antonia: She thinks I need a FAMOUS boyfriend. Julia: Again I�m not seeing the problem. (She puts the CD in and hits play) Antonia: Do you know who she wants me to date?! Julia: (lies down on her bed) Who? Antonia: (hears the music playing through the phone) THEM! Julia: (looks around) Them who? There�s no guys here�and trust me if there were I�d know. Antonia: (takes a deep breath) Mom wants me to date�a Backstreet Boy. Julia: (falls off bed) WHAT?! Antonia: She�s over there right now talking with people to get this to happen. I can�t believe this. Julia: (gets up and sits down on her bed. Trying to remain calm) Which�one? Antonia: I don�t know. I think she said something like DJ or PJ? Julia: AJ?!

Julia: And you�re not happy about this at all?! Antonia: I don�t even know who the hell they are. Julia: You�re not my twin. It can�t be possible. Antonia: Believe it sis�it�s possible. I�m not into that whole pop music stuff. Julia: I know but still�that guy is hot! Antonia: Yeah well I�m being forced to date him. That is�if he agrees to this stupid thing. Julia: Knowing mom, I don�t think he�ll have a choice. Antonia: I know�that�s what I�m afraid of. Julia: Damnit�I got to go to class. You better call me when mom gets home with the news�I could meet all of them. (Screams) I can�t believe it! Antonia: I�m so glad you aren�t here. Julia: Hey. Antonia: Love ya Jules. Julia: Love ya Tony. Talk to ya later. Antonia: Bye. (They both hang up) (A few seconds later Antonia�s mom, Maria, walks in) Maria: Honey I�m home. Antonia: Great. Maria: And boy do I have news for you. Antonia: I�m sure you do. Maria: Come in the kitchen and we�ll discuss it over dinner. Antonia: I thought you said I wasn�t allowed to eat because I was getting to fat? Maria: Yes that�s true�that is why I�m making you a salad. Antonia: Mmmmm roughage. (Walks into the kitchen and sits down at the table) Maria: As you know I went to go see AJ and his manager. Antonia: Yippee. Maria: Antonia�we are doing this for your career. Antonia: We mother? Maria: Yes Antonia. You might not know this but this is for the best. Antonia: It�s Tony mom and I don�t need any help from some stupid boy band singer. Maria: Well you have no choice. The arrangements are made. You will start going to their concerts as soon as possible. They have one in this area a week from now. And you WILL be there. You�ll meet him tomorrow. He�s coming over here. Antonia: He�s coming HERE? Maria: Yes. You have to meet him before to work out some of the details. Antonia: Details? Maria: Yes like where you met and stuff like that. Antonia: Sounds like you have this all planned out mother. Maria: It�s for the best Antonia. (Hands her her salad) Now eat up. Antonia: I�m not hungry anymore. (Gets up and goes to her room) |
