Lollie Parker
Lollie sat at her bay window, having it slightly cracked.
She was reading a book that her grandma gave her.
In the words of Nona, "If you ever miss me. Read this. Your grandfather gave it to me as a "Welcome to the world, Bailey." gift."
Fran has gone on a trip with her husband and hasn't been back in a month.
So to say Lollie missed her was an understatement. She probably read the book four times a day.
She knew the book wasn't by just any author, but by her grandpa.
Lollie heard her bay window open some more and looked behind her.
Maya and Riley came in a sat down.
"Are we best friends?" Maya asked.
"What did you do?" Lollie asked.
"Oh, I didn't think about saying that to you." Riley said.
Maya ignored Riley, "Are we best friends?"
"Sure. Why'd you ask?" Lollie questioned.
"Why are we best friends?" Maya asked.
Lollie shrugged her shoulders, "What's with the questions?"
"Would you give me your kidney?" Maya asked.
"I'd give you my left one." Riley replied.
"Would you?"
"Probably. If you really needed it."
"There is one final test you must pass." Maya said.
"I was being tested?" Lollie asked.
"Would you kidnap someone that really needed to be kidnapped, and handcuff her to the radiator and lock the door and not tell anybody?" Maya said very quickly.
Lollie ran her hands over her face and sighed.
﹏﹏﹏﹏
The three of them entered Maya's room.
Lollie sighed at the woman who was tied up in her room.
"Is that my bow?" Riley asked.
"Yup."
"You took my bow?"
"Yup."
"When did you take my bow?"
"Hey, Sherlock, is there anything else jumpin' out at you?" Lollie asked.
She backed into the girls, "Have you always had that lady?" Riley asked.
"No," Maya sighed, "brand-new."
"And if you used my bow, does that make me an accomplice?" Riley asked.
"If this wasn't my room, I'd have nothing to do with this." Maya said.
"Oh, no. What have I done?" Riley asked.
"I don't think I can help with this." Lollie said.
The lady began to jerk her hands.
"I mean- we have it good right now. We all have happy, healthy relationships with our families." Lollie said.
Her phone buzzed in her back pocket. She took it out and smiled.
"My Nona came back from vacation." She said, "I love my family and they love me. I love my friends and you guys. I love Lucas. I need to go to college and this isn't gonna be good on my records." Lollie said.
"Wait. What?" Maya said.
Lollie faced them, "You love Lucas?" Maya asked.
"I don't think I said anything like that. This kidnapping has put you through a lot."
The girls all sat on Maya's bed and watched the lady.
She only stared back.
"What did you do?" Riley asked.
"I stole a lady." Maya smiled, "What happens now?"
The lady shrugged her shoulders.
﹏﹏﹏﹏
The girls stood in the kitchen watching Topanga.
"So, um, how good of a lawyer are you?" Riley asked.
"Never lost a case." She smiled.
"Oh. Well, that's over."
﹏﹏﹏﹏
They stood in Bailey's room and Lollie smiled.
"So... you're like a superintendent of schools and stuff, let's just say... I did something really, really bad and I dragged my friends into my mess. Would that get us expelled from all schools in New York?"
"Depends on what happened."
"What if we'd kidnapped someone and handcuffed her to a radiator."
"Oh, yeah. You probably would have to drop out of school and go to jail."
Lollie smiled, "That's great."
﹏﹏﹏﹏
Riley sat back on Maya's bed with her face covered up.
"She's already seen your face." Lollie said.
"Yes." Riley said, "But she doesn't know that my name is Riley Matthews."
She paused.
"Shnagel."
Maya took the mask off Riley, "Hi."
She waved back.
Lollie stood up and removed the bow from her mouth.
"Does she have a good reason for this?" She asked.
"I am an international superstar.
I will not be handcuffed to a radiator." She said, her French accent ringing in their ears.
"Your accent is pleasing to my ears." Lollie smiled, trying to copy her.
"Hey, you said that just like Anastasia Boulangerie in the blockbuster thriller "I Will Not Be 'Andcuffed to a Radiator."" Riley said.
Maya smiled, "Riley?"
"Yeah?"
"That is Anastasia Boulangerie."
Riley smiled and jumped up and down, "Yeeeeeeeeeeee!"
"Where are my cookies?" Anastasia asked.
"What?" Riley questioned.
"I want my French cookies. Do you know what they are called?" She asked.
"Macaroons!" Riley quickly answered.
"Yes! You will be my new cookie bringer!"
"Yay! Maya, Lollie, yay!"
"Riley, focus." Lollie said.
"We kidnapped Anastasia Boulangerie." Maya said.
"Oh! Well, go big or go home, I always say."
Riley continued to wave at Anastasia.
﹏﹏﹏﹏
They stood in Lollie's living room.
"So, what you're saying is that... you could, hypothetically... go to jail for kidnapping?"
"And be expelled from school... yes. It's a crime." Bailey sat up, "Like when you and Maya were caught by the police officer. He could've arrested you both and you've would've been suspended from school."
"But kidnapping?" Lollie said, "We would not be suspended?"
"No, you'd be in jail."
"Interesting." Lollie whispered.
﹏﹏﹏﹏
"Really? Never lost a case, huh? Think you ever will?" Riley asked.
"No." Topanga said.
Maya pointed, "Ha-ha!"
﹏﹏﹏﹏
The three teens sat around Anastasia. She was still handcuffed to the radiator.
Maya painted her nails, Riley fed her, and Lollie read to her.
"This is not crème fraîche." Anastasia said, "This is whipped cream. From a store."
"I have failed you." Riley sighed.
She looked up at Lollie, "Bookkeeper."
Lollie looked up from the book and smiled a small smile.
"What are you reading to me?"
"The Cat in the Hat."
"How many times have you read it?"
"To you? Five times."
She scoffed, "How could you read me a children's book?"
"How could you not notice?"
She faced Maya, "Oh, and you, street rat. You call this a flower? No, no, no. I call this a blob."
"Look, lady, you're not our guest, you're being-"
Riley cut her off, "Borrowed."
"What?" Maya questioned.
"Borrowed is what we did. I don't like the other word. I like borrowed." Riley said.
"I don't think it makes a difference." Maya said.
"It does." Lollie said, "Being borrowed means you plan on returning it. Being kid-"
"Uh-uh." Riley muttered.
"The other word, means you took it and had the intentions to not return it without you getting what you want in return. In most cases." Lollie said.
"I don't mind being borrowed.
It's romantic, like a fountain. Get me a fountain."
Lollie put her book down and brushed her hair out of her face.
Riley began to laugh.
"Why, you're laughing because where are we gonna get a fountain?" Maya asked.
"No, I'm laughing because what on earth is my father going to put on the board for this one?"
﹏﹏﹏﹏
The three of them walked into the classroom and saw a police officer standing in front of the room.
"Squeak!" Maya covered Riley's mouth.
Lollie bit her lip, "My momma found out and now I'm-"
Maya put her other hand over Lollie's mouth and pulled the two out of the classroom.
﹏﹏﹏﹏
The three teens sat on Maya's bed looking at the fountain.
"I wanted a chocolate fountain." Anastasia said.
"And I wanted a chance for my mom to play one great role."
Lollie sighed, "You went too far, do you understand?"
"And we went too far because we are your best friends, but there are limits to best friendship." Riley said.
"There are no limits to us." Maya smiled.
"Good! Now, let's just not do anything that could get us caught."
Maya and Riley stood up and began taking pictures with Anastasia.
Lollie stood up moments later, if she were to get arrested. She wanted a good picture to hang in her cell.
Once they were done they all stood up.
"Look, I know what we did was wrong, but the reason I did it is because my mom's up for a movie, and I think she could really be right for the role."
"What is it?" Riley asked.
"The role of Katy," Maya smiled, "a down-on-her-luck waitress who's always wanted to be an actress, has one daughter and one last shot at love."
"Interesting." Lollie said.
"There is only one person in the world who could play this role!" Riley said.
"I know."
Riley faced Anastasia, "Anastasia Boulangerie!"
"Yes, of course, I will play the role! I am perfect for everything!" She said hopping off the small couch.
"Wait." Lollie said, "Why did Maya kid- borrow you if you already have the role?" She asked.
"Are you not telling us the whole truth, Anastasia Boulangerie?" Riley asked.
"Okay. Okay, there may be a certain insignificant unknown who is also up for the role."
"It's Katy Hunter, isn't it?" Lollie asked.
"Yes. Katy 'Unter."
"Well," Riley said, "why don't you just let Maya's mother have this one, and you go play Queen Francy-Pants of France?"
Katy came into the room holding a laundry basket.
"Are we leakin' again? Oh, we got a fountain." She smiled.
Katy looked at Anastasia.
"Bobbie Jo?"
"I am sure I have no idea of this Bobbie Jo who you say."
Katy walked up to her.
"Oh, knock off the phony accent, Bobbie Jo, I know who you are."
"Okay, fine!" She said, her whole accent changing, "But this here does not leave this here room."
"What?"
"The?"
"You kidnapped a non-french person." Lollie said, "Maybe we'll get less jail time."
"I always promised to keep your secret and I always have." Katy said.
"Yeah, Katy, you always have."
"Mom, you know her?"
"Oh! We kind of grew up together."
"You grew up with Queen Pantsy-France of Pants?" Riley asked.
"Maya, I'm sorry I never told you about Bobbie Jo, but she made me promise."
"Well, if this got out, it could ruin everything for me!"
"What is it?" Maya asked.
No one said anything. Katy sighed.
"Anastasia Boulangerie is not from France."
"What?" Maya and Riley asked.
Lollie had her hands on her face.
"See?"
"Where is she from?" Lollie asked.
"She is from Possum Trot, Arkansas."
"What?" They questioned.
"You weren't even born in France." Lollie muttered.
"See?"
"But you're from Possum Trot, Arkansas." Maya said.
"What?" Riley continued.
"Riley, you knew that." Maya said.
"I can't stop."
"Maya, you know how Maya Hart has Riley Matthews and now a Lollie Parker."
"Always and forever."
"Well, Katy Grace Clutterbucket always thought she'd have Bobbie Jo Thibodeaux and a Sadie Ray McLaughlin." Katy said.
"How do?" Bobbie smiled.
"Your best friend was Anastasia Boulangerie?" Riley asked.
"No." Katy said, "Uh, my best friend was Bobbie Jo Thibodeaux and Sadie Ray McLaughlin. I was never very close to Anastasia Boulangerie, who left. But at one time, we would've done anything for each other."
The two adults sat down.
"Sadie Ray on the other hand. I talk to her every day."
"Maya, Lollie, I don't understand. How could this happen to best friends?"
It was silent.
"Well, Mom, do you want me to set her free?"
"No, Mama really wants this role."
﹏﹏﹏﹏
"So we would all go to jail? Hypothetically." Katy asked.
"Yes." Bailey said.
"That is so funny." Lollie muttered.
﹏﹏﹏﹏
"No, really, how good a lawyer are you?" Katy asked.
Maya pointed at her mother, "Ha-ha."
She looked down at Topanga, "Ha-ha."
﹏﹏﹏﹏
The girls sat in class as Mr. Matthews spoke.
"So, we all heard from Yogi's father," Mr. Matthews said, "Officer Yogi, about gritty real life. And now, to talk to you guys about a life of imagination, is Sarah's father, a movie director."
"The policeman had nothing to do with us." Riley said.
"We're in the clear." Maya whispered.
"I'm a movie director."
"We're fine." Lollie said.
"And my next project is the new Anastasia Boulangerie, yeah, movie."
"We're less fine." Lollie said.
"Does anybody know where she is?"
"Go crazy." Maya said.
Riley shouted, "Bark!"
"My name is DW Preminger, and I have my wonderful daughter to thank for the idea behind my new film about a struggling waitress."
"And her daughter."
"And her friends!"
"And all their lives."
"Yeah, that's right." Sarah said.
They all faced her.
"You think I've just been sitting here? I've been taking notes! I've been writing my screenplay." She said.
"But in the fairytale town that is Hollywood, there is actually an upstart contender challenging Ms. Boulangerie for this role, and you know, it just might happen, because the world loves an undiscovered underdog and also because we can't find the other one. So, does anybody know where she is?" Mr. Preminger asked.
"No." The girls said.
"I believe there was another thing you wanted to tell them, DW?" Mr. Matthews questioned.
"You know what else the audience likes? "Authenticity!"" He said, "So, in the interest of authenticity, DW Preminger's going to extend an invitation to the real-life friends of his daughter's imagination because what could be more Hollywood authentic than holding out false hope to you, who inspired the roles, to audition for the roles, of Dookas-"
"Dookas?"
"Zed-"
"Zed?"
"Boah-"
"Boah?"
"Lillie-"
"Ew."
"And Farkle Poopypants McStupidhead."
Farkle looked back at Lucas, "Ha-ha, Dookus!"
"What about us?" Riley asked.
"Aren't we in it?" Maya asked.
"Yeah, you sit on the side and don't talk."
"You should've let her be you for a few more days." Lollie said.
Maya nodded in agreement.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a missing actress to locate." Mr. Preminger said.
He walked towards the exit.
"You gonna call in the FBI?" Riley asked nervously.
"No, I was just gonna look around, but, hey!" He said.
He pulled his phone out and walked away.
Lollie banged her head against the desk.
"You see, Maya, I have good ideas." Riley said.
"Worst sidekick ever."
Riley looked past Lollie, "Lollie?"
She lifted her head and reveal a big red mark on her forehead.
"I'm not that bad, am I?"
"If you started sitting on the sidelines... I probably would not be in these situations." She muttered.
﹏﹏﹏﹏
Bailey sat on the couch as Topanga walked towards her with a bowl of fruit.
"Free time. I don't remember the last time I had free time." She smiled.
"What does one do with free time?" Bailey asked.
They both heard the door open and saw Katy, Maya, Lollie, and Riley walk inside.
It took a couple of seconds but Bobbie Jo followed inside carrying the radiator.
"Yes?" They both asked.
Katy smiled, "Define felony."
"Oh my gosh. It's Anastasia Boulangerie and she's holding a radiator." Topanga said.
"Oui." She said in her French accent, "I am holding a radiator because the FBI is hot on my trail and they had to move me. I believe you are familiar with my captors?"
Bailey stood up, "Captors?"
"Well- we-we didn't technically do it. Maya basically did all the heavy lifting, um, but Riley and I didn't really try to stop her. So, uh, no?" Lollie answered.
"We borrowed her, Mommy." Riley said.
"Did they only borrow you?" Topanga asked.
She gripped Bailey's shoulders.
"Actually, I am enjoying myself, yes." Bobbie Jo said.
"Okay, good." Topanga sighed.
"Because otherwise, it's kidnapping." Bailey said, "Don't do that."
"We won't." Lollie said.
"There are consequences, you know." Topanga said.
"Oh." Riley said.
Bailey and Topanga faced Katy.
"Anastasia Boulangerie is actually Bobbie Jo Thibodeux, my old friend from Possum Trot, Arkansas."
"Really?" Topanga asked, "That's a little hard to believe."
"Wait till you hear her talk." Lollie said.
"Well, believe it, sister." Bobbie Jo said, returning her original accent.
"You know, I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. We were best friends."
"I don't know about that." Riley said, "Real best friends don't fall apart."
"Real best friends would do anything for each other." Maya said.
"Real best friends don't go to jail together. I think we achieved that part." Lollie said.
"But I bet that you have loads of best friends now that you're rich and famous." Riley said.
Bailey, Lollie, Riley, Maya, and Topanga all sat on the couch.
"I'm sorry, Katy. I'm sorry that I made it hard to believe." Bobbie Jo said.
"I'm Katy Grace." She sang.
Bobbie smiled, "And I'm Bobbie Jo."
"We are the Singin' Possum Trotters!" They sang.
"Mis oídos están sangrando." Lollie muttered.
Bailey only nodded.
"Oh, there's a fish and a bear and a cow over there." Katy sang, "But you won't find better friends nowhere." Bobbie followed.
"'Cause I'm Katy Grace."
"And I'm Bobbie Jo."
"Now wind us up and watch us go!"
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy." Riley said, rocking Maya back and forth.
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!"
"Oh, I would love to do-si-do with you, but I can't unless you unlock me from this radiator." Bobbie said, "Do you trust me, old friend?"
"I've always trusted you."
"Are you sure, Mom?"
"I'm sure."
Maya sighed and removed the handcuffs from Bobbie.
"It was nice knowin' you." Maya said.
She hand opened the door for her.
Bobbie walked towards it and shut it, "All right, let's do this thing."
"Oh, no, no, no, no." Lollie said, covering her ears.
The two of them ran behind the couch beginning to sing and dance.
"Oh, I'm Bobbie Jo."
"And I'm Katy Grace."
"And we go together anyplace Ah-woohoo! Ah-yeehah! It's me and you and you and me and that's the way it'll always be." They sang.
"Is it over?" Riley asked.
"It has to be!" Maya said.
"Big finish!"
"No, it isn't over." Topanga said.
Bailey grabbed the grapes off the table as the two stood on top of it.
"We go together, we're friends forever and ever and ever."
Bobbie stopped singing and hopped off the table.
"What?" Katy asked.
"Just real feelings." She cried.
"We played all the county fairs." Katy said.
She got off of the table and sat beside Bobbie.
"Promised each other that if either one of us ever got famous, we'd be happy for each other. I always have been. Bobbie Jo, I would never take anything away from you."
"I know that, Katy. I know you wouldn't."
"Look at you two." Topanga said.
"Is fame and fortune really worth being separated from your best friend?" Bailey asked.
"Yeah." Bobbie said.
"Of course not." Katy said.
Riley stood up. Lollie and Maya following behind.
"I don't get this." Riley said.
"Neither do I." Maya said.
"If you two were truly best friends. You would have at least called each other." Lollie said
"Why didn't you miss her more?" Riley asked.
"Well, I think maybe she did." Katy said.
"Mom," Lollie said, "how did you and Topanga stay friends for so long. You guys met in middle school and now your adults."
Bailey smiled, "Topanga was one of my first friends, she was smart and it was fun always seeing Minkus trying to one up her."
"Then we went to college." Topanga said, "It was tough. Life was happening before our eyes but we somehow managed to stick together."
"Even when I moved and had Lollie, she wrote and called all the time."
"Same with, Riley. She wanted to fly up to see both her and Auggie when they were born."
"Then I got married. She came. I knew she was my best friend and yes, we argued but we always solved our problems with each other, together."
Lollie and Riley smiled at their moms.
"You missed her." Lollie said to Bobbie.
"Yeah. The way I see it, you could've lifted up that radiator and gotten away any time you wanted." Topanga said.
"I would hardly call this a kidnapping." Bailey added.
"Okay, fine, it wasn't." Bobbie said and stood up, "I knew it was Maya from all the pictures I'd seen of you."
"You looked me up?"
"Maybe a little."
"You checkin' up on us?" Katy asked.
"Congratulations on gettin' married again. He seems like a really a good man."
"He's wonderful. I got my baby girl and a husband who loves me. I love my life."
"Yeah. I love my life, too." Bobbie said.
She cleared her throat and her French accent came back, "So, you will not be auditioning for the role of Katy anymore?"
"Against you?" Katy laughed, "Me against you for the role of me?"
The two laughed together, Katy stopped immediately, "No, I'll be auditioning and I'm gonna beat you."
Riley faced Maya and Lollie, "They were best friends once."
"Now they're going against each other." Maya said.
"Best friends are supposed to stay best friends."
"Mm, I don't think they know that."
"We're not them, so there's no need to worry about us." Lollie said.
﹏﹏﹏﹏
Lollie walked into the casting room as Farkle shouted, "I'm not happy!"
"You all look the same." Lollie said.
She approached the actors playing Dookas.
She pointed at each one of them, "Dookas, Dookas, Dookas."
She faced Lucas, "Lucas." She smiled.
"I'm wearin' my cowboy hat.
I'm wearin' my cowboy hat! My moment's gonna be my cowboy hat!" One actor said.
He tapped Zay and Lollie's shoulders, "Am I an idiot?"
"I withhold judgment because I'm smart enough to know what happens next."
"Lucas! I'm up in the air!"
"Yeah, that's how I did it." Zay sighed.
Lollie looked past the boys and looked at the blue wigs on the stands.
"They're blue." Lollie said, "Why are they blue?"
Sarah grabbed Lollie's hand and whispered in her ear, "Because that's when Dookas knew he loved Lillie."
"But I met you when I had blue hair."
Sarah smirked and sat down.
"Sarah. When does Lillie know she actually loved Dookas?"
"When her hair was blue."
Lucas grabbed Lollie's arm, "You okay?"
"I'm fine, Dookas." She sighed, "I'm fine, Lucas. I'm fine."
They looked over at the group who was playing Boah.
"But, dad! That was my dog and you got rid of him."
"How could she have possibly known that?" Noah asked.
Maya peaked her head into the casting room, "You coming, Lollie."
She nodded, "Good luck boys."
"Thank you." Everyone responded.
Maya, Lollie, Riley, Katy, and Bobbie all walked into the room where Mr. Preminger sat.
"Anastasia! There you are, my darling! Where have you been?" He asked.
"I took some time to consider my, how you say, priorities." She said in her accent.
"What?"
"Priorities."
"What?"
"I been thinkin' about stuff!" She said in her normal voice.
"What just happened?" He only ignored his own question, "All right, look I'm all for Hollywood fairytales but the truth is, she's a big box office draw, and you're not. Anastasia, the role is yours, unless someone has a real good reason why it isn't."
"Authenticity?" Riley questioned.
"Sorry. What?"
"You said that authenticity was a very big deal to you?"
"Sarah wrote these people based on who she saw and who she knew. Wouldn't it make sense for authenticity purposes for Katy to play Katy?" Lollie asked.
"No, I said that authenticity was a very big deal to the audience.
I prefer pretty people sayin' stuff." Mr. Preminger said.
"My mother's pretty, and she says stuff just as good as she does."
"Yeah?" He questioned, "Let's see if that's so. Would you like a moment to prepare?"
"I've been prepared my whole life.
I know it by heart."
"I'll read the parts of Smiley, Banana, and Lillie."
"Banana?" Maya questioned.
"I'm Smiley!" Riley smiled.
"No, I'm going to perform the scene to this Riley and this Maya and this Lollie. Because they've always kept me real."
Katy paced around the room before she spoke, "Actually, it only looks like nothin' ever went right for me. Maybe bein' walked out on by the wrong guy is what allowed the right guy to walk in. Maybe watchin' my daughter discover the joy of best friends is what teaches me who mine really are and maybe bein' apart is supposed to show you how hard you're supposed to fight to stay together. 'Cause, a true friend is the best thing that life has to offer."
Riley applauded Katy.
"Anastasia?"
"I could never beat that."
"Why not?"
"Because I, uh don't believe in it.
Yes, maybe I'm this, so I could be that, pish-posh. I am who I am, and this is who I am. Give the role to her. She was born to play it." She said.
Maya gripped Riley and Lollie's hand.
"But you're Anastasia Boulangerie."
"And she is Katy Hunter. Real person. Bravo."
The two of them shared a hug.
"Be careful bein' famous." She whispered to Katy, "It's easy to forget who you are."
Bobbie faced the girls, "Girls! You can borrow me anytime!" She smiled and hugged them.
"Au revoir!"
She faced Katy, "I'm Bobbie Jo."
"I'm Katy Grace."
She smiled and walked out of the room.
"I want to play Smiley!" Riley smiled.
"You're not right for it."
"Okay!"
﹏﹏﹏﹏
The group sat in class waiting for Mr. Matthews's lesson.
"Mr. Matthews, what do you call being best friends with someone one day and then growing apart forever?" Maya asked.
"Unfortunately, I call that normal, Maya."
"No."
"Don't worry, Maya. Nothing could change us. Not even Hollywood."
"And if it does. We'll always be there." Lollie said.
"Huh!" They heard.
Farkle walked into the classroom dressed as Elvis, "Thank you! Thank you very much."
"Oh, my gosh!" Riley smiled, Farkle, you got the part!"
"No."
"Just keepin' the costume?" Lollie asked.
"What costume?"
He sat down in his seat.
"Yeah, listen up, Sy." Zay said walking inside, "You tell them I only want to be semi-regular. All right? I show up when I want to, tell 'em to get workin' on my catchphrases. I don't know, somethin' like "Zay what?""
"Zay, you got the part!"
"No."
He sat in his seat.
Noah walked into the classroom with his bookbag on.
Lollie raised her eyebrow.
"Um, no. Don't ask." He said and sat in his seat.
Lucas walked in and rested his body against the doorframe.
"Uh, Lucas?" Lollie smiled.
"I'm not Lucas anymore. I'm Taylor Tristan Cool Cool Poopy Pants McStupidhead."
"You got the part!" She smiled more.
"Yup."
She stood up and stood in front of him.
She took his glasses off and placed them on her face, "Really?"
"No!" He said and sat in his seat.
"Did anyone actually get a part?" Riley asked.
Sarah nodded.
They all looked at Lollie, "Autumn "Lillie" Parkour. I got the part."
"Really?" Riley asked.
She nodded, "But I said no."
She took Lucas's glasses off and sat back at her desk.
"What? Why?"
"I'm glad I'm in Sarah's screenplay, but I don't think I want to relive all of that. Some of it I would. Like when Maya and I became friends or when Farkle became my friend. When Zay finally got with Vanessa. When the triangle was no more. When I found what I wanted when my brother and I became better siblings." Lollie said, "I wouldn't want to relive the day I called your mom a liar, Maya. I'm sorry I did that."
Maya sent her a smile, "Well, I'm sorry I treated you the way I did. You didn't deserve any of that."
"I didn't want Hollywood to change me. I like what I got. I've got friends, a family, a good teacher, and I'm in a good relationship." Lollie said, "We're good people."
"I've decided that when I grow up I want to be my mother's daughter." Maya said, "I want to be Riley and Lollie's friend, I want my boyfriend to know I appreciate him, and I want us all to know how important we are to each other."
"We would do anything for you." Riley said.
"I know."
"Sarah," Lollie started, "when your movie comes out we all want front row seats."
﹏﹏﹏﹏
The boys pushed Lollie into the audition room.
"I don't want to do this." She said.
"You'll be fine." Lucas said.
She faced Mr. Preminger.
"You must be Lollie."
"I am and I have a question."
"Go on."
"Um, do I have to wear this wig during my auditions?"
"Sarah said it was very important that anyone auditioning for Lillie wear it. She said it, "Was when they both knew.""
"I think I know without the wig. I mean, it was my favorite hair color, but it brings some memories I don't want to relive and some I do, so if I can do it without the wig that would be great."
He stood up and clapped, "You've got the part."
"Really?" She questioned, "I didn't do anything."
"But you know, this character. Welcome to Hollywood, kid."

"Try next time, kid." Mr. Preminger said, "When you are "single and not dating, Banana.""

Episode: Girl Meets Hollyworld
Pages: 80
This is the dumbest episode of Girl Meets World ever.
I swear this wouldn't have been as long if they didn't sing.
You can't really base an episode on Lollie or Noah is the episode isn't really made for them, you know?
I'm gonna go back and add episodes I didn't do in. The chapters will follow after this one. So when I put a chapter in it's gonna look like this.

girl meets bear
a previous episode

does that make sense? like her hair color will also indicate an old episode.
btw.... my book isn't eligible for a watty2019 😔
