3.5 - A Phone Call

The five that are going to workout come out their respective bedrooms, changed and ready to go. Isolde and Lillie are still in the living room, playing with Rai while Jaxine is in the kitchen, trying to cook.

Sxena - "We're going! Try not to burn the house down"

Lillie - "We won't"

Ty - "Bye bye Rai"

Isolde - "You wanna say bye? Say bye bye baby"

Rai - "Ba"

Isolde - "Good enough honey boy! You did good"

Lillie - "Don't get hurt"

Cy - "We'll try not to"

Lillie rolls her eyes at Cy's remark and waves them off towards the door. The five walk off, only stopping to say a quick farewell to Jaxine.

After the five leave, Jaxine walks into the living room, having given up on trying to make food that Rai can eat. Lillie's on her phone and Isolde's watching Rai try to stand up using the low table. Isolde doesn't say anything, just occasionally puts a hand out to stop him from falling on his face. Rai's face is scrunched up in concentration. Just as Jaxine opened her mouth to say something, Lillie gets a call.

"Hi? Oh, manager!"

Indistinguishable sounds come out from the other end of the call.

"I'm good, how about you manager? Why are you calling?"

The answer seems to take Lillie off guard, as her eyes suddenly go wide and her mouth drops open. The other two girls, who were silently watching, ask her "What? Did something happen?"

The manager seems to hear this on the other side of the call and says something. Lillie puts the phone on speaker and puts a finger to her mouth. The managers voice rings out clearly.

"You guys didn't forget about the camera crew coming in today, did you? I told you yesterday as well, there's a camera crew coming in today to set up for 'Off Stage'? You do remember that you're all filming for that right?"

Isolde immediately looks at Lillie, panic written all over her face. It's clear that they had forgotten about the crew coming in. Isolde quickly picks up Rai and shushes him so that he doesn't talk.

Jaxine - "No, of course we remember..?"

Isolde - "Yeah, don't worry Zhen, we remember, just remind us, when are they coming?"

Zhen - "Are you two for real? They're coming at 2pm."

Lillie - "Zhen? We kinda have a situation on our hands right now?"

Lillie sneaks a quick glance over to Rai, who's still sitting on Isolde's lap with a tiny finger over his mouth, looking up, confused.

Zhen - "Did you have another food fight? I thought you all promised to never do it again?"

Isolde - "That was a one time thing Zhen, we promised to not do it again."

Jaxine - "Yeah, and cleaning it up was horrible. Our situation right now is very much... alive?"

Rai - "Ze!"

Zhen - "What was that?"

Isolde - "Nothing, nothing"

Zhen - "Sai? Rai? Is that you?"

Rai - "Ze! Ra heer!"

Isolde quickly shushes Rai, but too late, the damage is already done.

Zhen - "Isolde Kyi."

Zhen's voice dips lower, obviously angry. Isolde looks scared, but Rai doesn't pick up on her mood, happily playing with her hands. Jaxine, Lillie and Isolde all look at each other, all scared of their manager. Isolde gulps before speaking.

Isolde - "Yes Zhen...?"

Zhen - "Do you want to explain?"

Isolde - "Promise not be mad?"

Zhen - "If you have a good reason"

Isolde - "I do, I do! My little brother's with us because he can't be with my parents!"

Zhen - "Why not? Are they okay?"

Zhen's voice suddenly changes, becoming concerned and worried.

Isolde - "My parents are fine, but Sai has to go to the hospital and the place they're staying in isn't that good for Rai. So my parents came maybe an hour ago to explain and drop him off."

Lillie - "We weren't trying to hide it from you or anything, we didn't know this was going to happen either"

Zhen - "All right, I'll contact the T.V. program and see if they would be okay with an additional person"

Isolde - "Oh thank you so much"

Zhen - "Your welcome, the camera crew is still coming though"

Jaxine - "Oh wow, I forgot about that"

Zhen - "Of course you did, I'll get going now"

Rai - "Ba?"

Lillie - "Yes, Rai it's bye bye"

Rai - "Ba ba"

Zhen - "Bye bye Rai"

Jaxine reaches over the table and presses the red button to hang up on the call. After hanging up, she hands the phone over to Lillie, who takes it then sets up an alarm for a few minutes before 2pm. The rest seem to be content with how the house looks as they go back to talking with each other while playing with Rai.
