Act I
''[It is morning in Great Lakes City. Ronnie Anne's bedroom door opens a crack, and Ronnie Anne is seen sound asleep, when suddenly, Lalo licks her awake]'' Ronnie Anne: [Wiping Lalo's saliva off her face] "Gah! Lalo, what the heck, dude?" [Lalo exits and Sergio flies in] Sergio: [Squawks] "Time for breakfast. Early bird gets the chilaquiles." [Flies off] Ronnie Anne: [Liking what she just heard] "Chilaquiles?" [Hurries out of bed] ''[In the kitchen, Rosa gets the chilaquiles off the stove and goes to the dining table in the family room, where Carlota is on her phone and Hector is reading a newspaper. Rosa serves the chilaquiles.]'' Rosa: "Andale! Eat, eat!" Ronnie Anne: [Enters and grabs her plate] "Morning, Abuela." [kisses her cheek] "You're in a hurry today." Rosa: "Si, mija, the apartment upstairs is vacant, and as buliding manager, it's my job to show it to potential tenants." CJ: [Enters wearing a tool belt] "And it's my job to help!" Ronnie Anne: "Sweet tool belt, CJ, is that a new hammer?" CJ: [Pulls out said hammer] "It's also a screwdriver." Ronnie Anne: "Ooh." [CJ walks off and Maria enters] "Morning, Mom." Maria: "Good morning, sweetie, got any plans for the day?" Ronnie Anne: "Yeah, I'm gonna take my board to the park, and work out some new tricks." Maria: "Sounds fun. Remember to wear your-" Ronnie Anne: [Wearing her helmet] "C'mon, Mom, you don't have to remind me. I've heard enough of your ER stories to know better." Maria: "Oh, that reminds me, you won't believe what we found in a patient's stomach yesterday. At first, we thought it was a hairball, but-" Carlota: [Clears her throat] "You know we love you Tia, but some of us are eating." [Maria smiles sheepishly] Ronnie Anne: "Text me the details." [Maria gives her a thumbs up with a wink and gives her a kiss on her cheek while Carlota makes an uncomfortable expression] Maria: "Oh, thanks for the flan hun!" [She says as she takes Ronnie Anne's plate from her hand] [Maria exits while Bobby enters the kitchen] Bobby: "Morning fam! Better take breakfast to go Abuela, I gotta get downstairs to open the mercato." Hector: "Gracias mijo, what a good grandson, letting your Abuelo relax and enjoy his coffee." [Bobby pats Hector's head and Rosa hands him his breakfast] Bobby: "Thanks Abuela!" [Rosa pinches his cheeks] Ronnie Anne: "Wait, Bobby, your apron!" [Ronnie Anne shouts as she throws Bobby his apron] Bobby: [Catches it] "Thanks, sis!" Carl: "Wait up cuz! You need me to supervise!" [He puts on his apron and grabs Ronnie Anne's plate of flan from her hands] ''[Carlos enters while carrying Carlitos, and places him in his high chair before walking away. Lalo barks and Carlitos throws a spoon of flan at him, only for Sergio to recieve it instead.]'' Sergio: "Mine!" [Lalo pouts] Ronnie Anne: [Holding a third plate of flan] "Better luck next time dude." [The screen swipes to Rosa and CJ walking out of the kitchen] Rosa: [on her phone] "Yes Mr. Scully, I'm going to open up the apartment right now! I think we're going to get a lot of applicants!" Ronnie Anne: [offscreen] "Abuela, your keys!" Rosa:' [Rosa catches the keys in her hand and winks at her] "Anyway, I'll be sure to have the-" [She says, walking out the door, still on the phone] Ronnie Anne: [Sits at the table and sighs while grabbing her fork] "Now, to finally eat." [Before she takes her first bite, Lalo is on the floor next to her, making puppy dog eyes] "Ha! You're really laying it on thick, aren't you?" [She takes her plate and hands it to Lalo] "Go ahead, I'll grab something on my way to the park, just don't tell Abuela." [Lalo barks before eating the flan] ''[It is a sunny day at 234 Street, and Ronnie Anne is walking along the pavement, bypassing three children who are playing with a jump rope, her phone and skateboard in hand. She is videochatting with Lincoln her phone.]'' Lincoln: "So, how's big city life?" Ronnie Anne: "Great. Funny thing, I thought i saw you the other day, but it was just an old dude with white hair." Lincoln: "Heh, yeah, I get that a lot." [He says as he pulls back his hair, but he is then trampled down by his sisters, visibly Lori, Luna, Lucy and Leni] "Oof!" "Sorry Ronnie Anne! It's breakfast time. I gotta go before one of my sisters swipes my bagel!" Ronnie Anne: "Smell ya later." [She puts her phone in her pocket and rides her skateboard down to a hot dog stand] "Morning Bruno, I'll have the Great Lakes City Special, one dog dragged through the garden." Bruno: "You want a hot dog with the works, at 9am?" Ronnie Anne: "Yup." Bruno: [sighs] "You sure I can't interest you in a danish or something?" [Ronnie Anne is making a displeased expression while the screen pans back to the girl behind her] Sid: "Excuse me, can I get one Great Lakes City Special?" Ronnie Anne: [[Ronnie Anne gestures towards her] "See? This girl gets it." [She gives her a thumbs up as well. She takes the hot dog from Bruno and rides away.] "Later dude!" Bruno: [Raises his hand while Sid waves goodbye] "Eh."

[Ronnie Anne is at the park, and she attempts to skateboard over a fire hydrant, but trips over it and falls flat on her face] Ronnie Anne: "Ah! Come on." [She tries again, and this time succeeds] Ronnie Anne: "Yes!" [Suddenly her joy turns to displeasure] "Not gonna lie, kinda wish someone saw that." Sid: [Offscreen] "I did!" [Sid excitedly walks up to Ronnie Anne] Ronnie Anne: "Oh," [slightly embarrassed] "Hope you didn't see me goof it up before." Sid: "No, no, no, no, no, that was sweet. Can I try?" Ronnie Anne: "Sure! Always happy to share with a fellow skater. Here, this ramp opened up." [Gives Sid her board and they go over to said ramp] "Alright dude, show me what you got." [Sid gets ready to go, but the board starts rolling backwards, and rolls down the wrong side of the ramp, the girls panic and Ronnie Anne chases after her] Sid: [Flailing] "Woah! Woah!" [Sees that she's headed for a metal plaque] "Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!" [Ronnie Anne grabs a tetherball] Ronnie Anne: "Quick, grab on!" [Hits the ball to Sid, who catches it and gets thrown off the board] Sid: "Woah!" [The board hits the statue, undamaged, and Sid is still holding the ball as it wraps itself around the pole, once it stops she drops off] "Oof." Ronnie Anne: [Runs up to her] "Are you okay?" Sid: "Not a scratch thanks to you." Ronnie Anne: "Um, not to be rude but; have you skated before?" Sid: [Gets up, smiling] "Nope, but it looked fun, I've never eaten a hot dog with all that extra junk on it either," [Gets more and more excited] "but I just moved here, and I wanna try every new thing I can!" Ronnie Anne: [Speechless at first, but then laughs] "You're awesome! I'm Ronnie Anne Santiago." [Offers a handshake] Sid: "I'm Sid Chang, nice to meet you." [The two shake hands]

[Ronnie Anne and Sid are sitting by a fountain, feeding pigeons] Ronnie Anne: "Whoa, look at that little dude. He’s seen better days." ''[A completely deformed pigeon is shown. He vomits a piece of his leg.]'' Sid: "Poor guy." [Throw a piece of food to the pigeon.] Sid: "I still can’t believe you didn’t grow up here." Ronnie Anne: "Nope, I’m from Royal Woods." Sid: "Wow, you seem like such a city kid, what for the hot dogs for breakfast and all." Ronnie Anne: "No, I only moved here a few months ago with my brother and my mom to be closer to family. My mom’s an ER nurse at the city hospital." Sid: "Cool! What about your dad? Unless that’s like a sore subject. My grandma always say I’m too nosey." Ronnie Anne: "No, no, no. You’re good. My parents are split up, but it’s no big. My dad’s a doctor who works with Physicians on Missions" [Ronnie Anne shows the screen of the mobile with a photo of her father.] "He’s in Peru right now helping set up a new clinic." Sid: "Whoa, is that a ring-tailed lemur?" Ronnie Anne: "Yeah, how’d you know?" Sid: "My mom brought one home from work once. She’s a zoologist. Here, that’s her." [Sid shows the cell phone screen with a photo of her family] "And that’s my dad, who’s a subway conductor. And my sister, Adelaide, who’s like a professional sass bucket" [Ronnie Anne chuckled and a message appears on the screen of Sid's cell phone.] Sid: "Crud, that’s my mom. I gotta to meet back up with them" Ronnie Anne: "I should probably get going too. But maybe we should, you know…" Sid: [excitedly] "Hang out again as soon as possible?" Sid: "Yeah! Number swap?" [The girls switch phones to type their cell numbers]

''[Ronnie Anne leaves the shop of the Casagrandes in a skateboard. ]'' Ronnie Anne: "Put it in my tab Bobby!" Bobby: "You don’t have a tab." ''[Ronnie Anne arrives at the building and faces Sid. ] Ronnie Anne: "Sid?! Ronnie Anne and Sid: [simultaneously]'' "What are you doing here!?" Ronnie Anne: "I live here." Sid: "No way. I might too! My parents are applying for an apartment right now! I looked at it with them before going to the park." Ronnie Anne: "Apartment 3A?" [Sid nods her head vigorously] Ronnie Anne: "That’s right over me in 2A. We could be neighbors!" Sid: "You’re blowing my mind right now!" Sid and Ronnie Anne: [Ronnie Anne and Sid sing, dance, beat butts and laugh] "Ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh! Ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh! Woo!" [The apartment door opens and appears Rosa and the Chang family] Becca: "Thanks, Mrs. Casagrande. It was a pleasure meeting you and your grandchildren. Hey kiddo, sorry we took so long. Ready to head back to the hotel?" Sid: "Yep. See you later, neighbor" [The family leaves] Ronnie Anne: "Abuela, you have to give that family the apartment. I hung out with Sid at the Park and she’s awesome." Rosa: "Mija, I don’t own the building, I just manage it. That decision is up to Mr. Scully, and he’s going to have a lot of applicants to choose from." Ronnie Anne: "Oh…" Rosa: "Don’t worry, niña. I’ll put in a good word. I like them too." CJ: "Come on Abuela, back to work." [Gesturing towards Rosa] Rosa: "You're right CJ! Vamos!" [She and CJ head back inside the building] [Ronnie Anne looks at the 'FOR RENT' sign on the building door for a few seconds, and frowns. Then, she gets an idea and runs off]

[Ronnie Anne is at the mercato] Ronnie Anne: "Guys, I have a favor to ask." [She approaches Carlota, Bobby, Carl and CJ] "You know that family who just looked at the apartment? The Changs? They have to get it! I know that sounds crazy, but I just met this awesome girl Sid, and-" [Carlota cuts her off] Carlota: "Are you kidding?! We want them to get the apartment too!" Bobby: "Yeah! Carl and I met them when they came into the mercato. Did you know Mr. Chang is a subway driver?" Carl: [angrily at Bobby] "Excuse you?! He is a conductor!" [now enthusiastic] "and he said he'll let me take the control sometime!" CJ: "And Mrs. Chang is taking me to the zoo! I'm going to feed the elephants!" Carlota: "And that adorable little Adelaide? Her parents are looking for a babysitter, hello second job!" [Bobby walks over to Ronnie Anne] Bobby: "I'm just happy to see you so excited about a new bud!" [Ronnie Anne starts blushing] "I know it's hard to make new friends in the city and I don't want you to be lonely." Ronnie Anne: [Her blush fades away and she pushes his hand off her] "Come on Bobby, don't get all cornball on me now." CJ:' [Clears his throat] "If you guys are done, I wanna hear the plan." Ronnie Anne: "Thank you, CJ. It's simple. We just have to make sure no other potential tenants see the apartment. How does Abuela usually advertise it? Online post, email blast..?" [Her cousins start laughing] Carl: "No way. Abuela's old school." Carlota: "Yeah! She photocopies the same flyer she's used for ten years and puts it up all over the neighborhood." Ronnie Anne: "Okay, so we have to take those flyers down and deal with the people who've already seen them, plus someone has to keep Abuela distracted. [She puts her hand out] "Now who's with me?" [Bobby and her cousins all put their hands in] Bobby, Carlota, Carl and CJ: [simultaneously] "I am!"

''[Carlota and Ronnie Anne sneak up at the front of a salon called 'Margaritas Beauty'. A police car drives past the store]'' Carlota: "Abuela always puts a flyer up at Margarita's Salon." ''[They enter the salon. Carlota looks around while Ronnie Anne finds a flyer]'' Ronnie Anne: "Got it, let's-" [she is cut off by Hector, who is at the front counter talking to Margarita] Hector: "Gracias Margarita, for the trim, and the gossip." [He winks at her and gives her a tip] [Ronnie and Carlota sit on the salon chairs, hiding their faces with the salon hairdryer, as Hector walks past them] Ronnie Anne: [Taking the dryer of her head] "Phew, that was close." Carlota: "Ugh, I know! [gasps] "Hey, you wanna get mani-pedis while we're here? [she says eagerly] "My treat." [Ronnie Anne frowns before pulling her away]

''[Carl and Bobby are at the mercato. Bobby is sweeping the floor while Carl is drinking from a juice box]'' Carl: [stops drinking] "Uh, you missed a spot." [he points at the ground] Bobby: "Oh, thanks buddy." "Uh-oh" ''[They stop to see a male couple with a child walk past the mercato, and they're heading towards the building doors. The taller man with glasses shows his partner the flyer]'' Carl: "I got this one." [He runs in front of the couple] "Oh, you're here to see apartment 3A?" [The male couple look at each other and both nod their heads] "Great! The bed bug exterminator should be done any minute." [He then starts scratching himself, pretending to be infested with bed bugs] "Uh, uh, uh, uh uh." Male couple: "AHHHHH!" [they scream as they run away] [Carl walks back to the mercato and gives Bobby a thumbs up from the outside]

''[Rosa and CJ are in apartment 3A, sitting on chairs. Rosa looks frustrated]'' Rosa: "Ay ay ay I'm surprised no one's coming by! Last time we had a vacant apartment it was a mop scene." [She then thinks in confusion, and gets off her chair, but CJ interrupts] CJ: "Wanna see my hammer?" [CJ holds out his hammer while Rosa then stops] "It's also a screwdriver!" [He changes it into a screwdriver] Rosa: [walks back to her chair and sits down again] "Mmmm, ohhh.." ''[takes the tool from CJ and admires it. CJ sighs.]''

''[Ronnie Anne and Carlota are walking up the stairs to the library before entering. Carlota looks around and nudges Ronnie Anne with her elbow, and points to the noticeboard, showing a flyer pinned to it. Ronnie Anne approaches the flyer, but then gets shocked as she notices her uncle Carlos sitting on a chair reading a book, with Carlitos next to him on the ground, also reading a book. Carlitos notices Ronnie Anne and waves at her.]'' Ronnie Anne: [Looking around] "Shhhh.." [placing her finger on her mouth, directing at Carlitos] Carlitos: [who makes the same gesture] "Shhhh..." ''[Carlos then looks at him] Carlos: "Oh, sorry." ''[Ronnie Anne grabs the flyer, and heads back to Carlota, who gasps and then hides behind a tall plant. Ronnie Anne looks for a place to hide but she just places the flyer on her face to hide it. Carlos walks past them, still reading a book with Carlitos on his back, who is still making the same silencing gesture]'' Carlitos: "Shhhh..." [Carlota and Ronnie Anne head out of the library]

[A hipster woman with Rosa's flyer in her hand and a hipster man approach the apartment together, but they notice there is police tape blocking the entrance] Hipster woman: [drops her flyer and gets worried] "Is that...police tape?" [She takes her sunglasses off her eyes and points at the entrance in fear] "Is this a crime scene?" Hipster man: [also looking fearful] "I know we wanted edgy, but not that edgy!" ''[They both then runaway screaming, leaving their sunglasses and beanie behind. Carlos then appears from behind holding the barricade tape and chuckles]''

[Ronnie Anne and Carlota enter the marceto groaning] Carlota and Ronnie Anne: "Ughh!" [Bobby and Carl are at the counter] Ronnie Anne: "Hey guys! How did everything go today?" Bobby: "Perfect! We were able to keep every potential tenant from entering the building. How about you guys?" Carlota: "Great! We got every flyer in the neighborhood! And I've got the blisters to prove it. I chose the wrong day to break in these disco boots. [she says in vain, holding up her foot]] Ronnie Anne: "You guys have been amazing, thank you so much!" [Bobby and Carl each give her thumbs up as she runs out of the meracto and enters the building excitedly] "I gotta go tell Sid about this!" [She pants and runs up the stairs while texting Sid, but before she opens the door to her apartment, she notices Abuela and CJ walking down the stair from apartment 3A. She walks up to them] "Oh, hey Abuela and CJ, lot of people come to see the apartment today?" [acting hopeful] Rosa: "No mija, it's very strange! The Changs were the only ones who came by!" [she frowns as CJ gives Ronnie Anne a wink] "Oh well. I'll call Mr. Scully to let him know." [CJ grins at Ronnie Anne] Ronnie Anne: [She grins back at him and starts texting Sid] "Hey official new neighbor..." [to herself] Rosa: [Rosa then gets a call from Mr. Scully] "Oh, hello Mr. Scully! I was just about to call you!" Mr. Scully: [On the phone] "Thanks for all your hard work today, Mrs. Casagrande! I was wondering if you could show the apartment one more time." Ronnie Anne: [overhears what Mr. Scully said anf looks away from her phone] "Huh?" Mr. Scully: "I'm sending some potential tenants over in an hour. They're friends of mine. I think they'll be a great fit for the building." [CJ and Ronnie Anne get a shocked expression on their faces, except for Rosa, and Ronnie Anne drops her phone on the ground] [End of Act I]

Act II
[It is still Sunny at the apartment complex of the Casagrandes and Ronnie Anne, Bobby, Carlota, CJ and Carl are all sitting at the building entrance] Carlota: "Ugh! I can't believe another couple is coming to look at the apartment! So much for babysitting Sid's little sister, and right after I found out she and I are the same sign." CJ: "Bye-bye elephants." Carl: [groans] "So much for going full throttle on the five o' clock express train." Bobby: [looks at Ronnie Anne] "Aw, sorry sis. I know how much you wanted to have Sid in the building."

Sid: "I had a leftover hot dog in my pocket."

Ronnie Anne: "Well you just made a friend for life."
