==Transcript==
(The episode starts by taking place outside of the bus loading zone while Maraya is narrating)
Maraya (as narrator): I love sitting with my friends at lunch. It is always so fun.
(The scene zooms into the school and takes place in the main cafeteria)
Maraya (as narrator): Even though the cafeteria is noisy, still, I like sitting and having fun with my friends. But one day while we were in the cafeteria, two of my friends got to do something that I couldn't do, and it made me want to work there.
Novalee: Hey, Jess.
Jess: Hey, Novalee.
(As Jess sits down, Carmen asks her a question)
Carmen: So, Jess, how was work today?
Jess: It was good.
Carmen: Cool, what did you and Anie do?
Jess: Uh, we just put up shoes and became cashiers, and I got to see Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny there too.
Carmen (not seen): Cool. We've been at school, doing nothing but work.
Jess (not seen): Oh? Well, bummer!
Carmen (not seen): Yeah, bummer.
(Suddenly, Maraya gets up from her seat and gets enraged)
All: Ahhh!
Maraya (mad): Did you just say that you saw Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny?
Jess: Uh, yes? Well, what's the matter?
Maraya (mad): That's not fair! How come you get to see my favorite people and I don't?
Jess: Uh, I work at the Goody-Will and that's one of the places that Ms. Carolyn and her husband always go.
Maraya (mad): Well, I'm going to work at the Goody-Will with you so I can see Ms. Carolyn too.
Jess: You have to tell Ms. Ryan that you want to work at the Goody-Will with us.
Maraya (mad): Oh, I will, you'll see.
(The scene changes back to its original background as Maraya starts to sit down again. It changes again to where they are at the classroom after lunch)
Maraya (not seen): Ms. Ryan?
Ms. Ryan: Yes, Maraya?
Maraya: Can I work at the Goody-Will like Jess and Anie?
Ms. Ryan: I don't think so, Maraya. You're too young.
Maraya: Oh, please, please, please? I promise that I'll be professional when I work there.
Ms. Ryan: Well, okay. I suppose you can work there for a few days to see if you will like it.
Maraya: Yay, thanks, Ms. Ryan! You are the best teacher ever.
(The scene changes to the next morning at the bus loading zone)
Ms. Ryan: Good morning, Maraya. Are you ready for your first day of work?
Maraya: Yeah! You bet I am!
Ms. Ryan: Well, I'm glad to hear that. (she stops hugging Maraya) You go on into the school and I'll give you your uniform, okay?
Maraya: Okay.
(Maraya goes into the school to sit down in the little classroom with Anie)
Anie: Ugh, Maraya. I can't believe that you're going to work at the Goody-Will with me. Can't you just stay in school with your friends?
Maraya: I'm not going to stay in school today. I'm going to the Goody-Will with you.
Anie: Ugh!
Ms. Ryan: Hey, Maraya. Here's your uniform. Go change into it while we wait for the bus.
Maraya: Okay.
(Maraya walks away to change into her uniform. It changes again to where she comes back with it on)
Ms. Ryan: Wow, Maraya. You look very professional for work.
Maraya: Thank you.
(Bus horn honks)
Ms. Ryan: Ah, looks like your bus is here. Go ahead and get on it.
(But Maraya stops walking to look at her stuff on the chair)
Ms. Ryan: Go ahead, Maraya. Get on your bus.
Maraya: But who's going to get my stuff while I'm gone?
Ms. Ryan: I'm sure Novalee will get your stuff, Maraya, because she always carries Anie and Jess's stuff too.
Maraya: Okay.
(As soon as Maraya walks away, Ms. Ryan tells her and the others goodbye)
Ms. Ryan: Bye, students. Have a great day at work, okay?
Students: Okay, Ms. Ryan. Bye!
(When the students get on the bus, Ms. Ryan wipes her eyes)
Ms. Ryan: I can't believe it. My two students are leaving for work, and plus, it's Maraya's first day of work too. Oh, I can't believe it.
(Ms. Pierce walks up to Ms. Ryan)
Ms. Pierce: It's okay, Ms. Ryan. They'll come back. And look, Maraya's waving at you.
(Ms. Ryan waves at Maraya back)
Ms. Ryan: Bye, Maraya. Have a good day at work. (sighs)
(The scene changes once again to where they get to the Goody-Will)
Maraya: Wow, look at this place. It's awesome!
Jess (not seen): Come on, Maraya!
(Maraya follows Jess and Anie to the back of the store. When they opened the doors, they come and greet Ms. Tessa)
Jess and Anie: Good morning, Ms. Tessa.
Ms. Tessa: Why, good morning, Jess and Anie. Oh, who's this?
Jess: This is Maraya. She is here to work at the Goody-Will with us.
Ms. Tessa: Well, it's very nice to meet you, Maraya. I'm Ms. Tessa, your supervisor.
Maraya: It's very nice to meet you, Ms. Tessa.
Ms. Tessa: So, are you guys ready to do some work?
All: Yeah!
Ms. Tessa: Great! I'm glad to hear that. Now let's do some work, shall we?
All: Yeah.
Ms. Tessa: Then let's go!
(The students follow Ms. Tessa somewhere in the store. The scene changes to where they reach to an aisle full of shoes)
Ms. Tessa: You guys know how to straighten these shoes on the shelves, right?
Both: Right.
Ms. Tessa: Great. I'll be at the front of the store, so if you need me, call my name, okay?
Both: Okay!
(After Ms. Tessa walks away, Jess teaches Maraya how to straighten the shoes on the shelves)
Jess: Maraya, this is how we straighten these shoes on the shelves. You see that sign up there? It says 7½. So what you do is you look into the pair of shoes and see if it has the 7½ sticker. If it does, you leave it there, but if it says another number like 7, then you put it where it belongs, okay?
Maraya: Okay.
Jess: Good. Now get to work.
(While they are working, Maraya looks at the first pair of shoes)
Maraya: That pair has the right sticker, so I leave it there. Now to the next pair of shoes.
(She looks in the second pair of shoes)
Maraya: Yep, I see it. Leave it.
(She looks in the third pair of shoes)
Maraya: These are baby shoes. What are they doing here. (thinking) I guess I have to put them where they belong.
(She walks to Anie and gives the pair of shoes to him)
Maraya: Here, Anie. I found these shoes on the 7½ shelf.
Anie: Thanks, Maraya.
Maraya: You're welcome.
(Maraya goes back to continue her work. It changes again to where they are all done)
Jess: There. We're all done.
Ms. Tessa: Oh. I see you're done with the first job. Well, I have another job for you. Follow me.
(The students follow Ms. Tessa to the front of the store. It changes to where they get there)
Ms. Tessa: Okay, guys. Now that you're done with your first job, now I want you to all become cashiers and welcome people who come in this store, okay?
All: Okay.
Ms. Tessa: Good. I'll be right here if you need me, alright?
All: Alright.
Maraya (in her own head): This should be really easy, cause all I have to do is to welcome people. Oh, here's my first customer. I better get ready.
All: Hello, welcome to Goody-Will!
Maraya (in her own head): That was my first customer. Now I have to look out for more.
(Maraya suddenly sees another customer come in the store)
All: Hello, welcome to Goody-Will!
Maraya (in her own head): Oh, this is fun. I already like this job here, it's much better than working at school.
(She sees two more customers walk in the store)
Jess (not seen): Hello, welcome to Goody-Will!
(After the two customers come in the store, Maraya falls in love with them)
Maraya: Could it be? It - it's Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny!
(The background changes to a background with hearts as Maraya tells them that she loves them)
Maraya: Oh, I love you, Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny. You guys are the best people ever!
(While Maraya was in love with them, the background changes back to normal and Jess comes to hit her in the face)
Jess: Maraya, stop falling in love with Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny and get to work!
Maraya: Yes, Jessica.
(When Maraya welcomes them to the Goody-Will, Ms. Carolyn and her husband come up to her)
Maraya: Hello, and welcome to the most wonderful Goody-Will in the world!
Mr. Danny: Uh, Carolyn, isn't that Maraya there?
Ms. Carolyn (thinking): Uh...
Mr. Danny: Because it sure looks like her.
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, what are you doing here? And how on Earth did you get a job here?
Maraya: Uh, I signed up for it. That's how I got a job here.
Ms. Carolyn: Of course. (laughing) You signed up for it. I mean, really, how else would you get here?
Maraya: I would ride a bus that would take me here.
Ms. Carolyn (laughing): Of course.
Mr. Danny: Come on, honey, let's go look and see what's on sale today.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, dear. (to Maraya) Bye, Maraya. See you later.
(But instead of saying goodbye, Maraya waves at her)
Maraya (in her own head): I can't believe it. I just saw my favorite people in the whole wide world. Oh, this is great!
(The scene changes to where they are done an hour later)
Maraya: I can't believe it. This was only my first day of work and I can get candy and soda for free. Oh, this is so great!
(Outside the store, they all get surprised)
All: (gasps)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn! Are you going to take us back to school today?
Ms. Carolyn: Yep. I'm going to take all of you back to school today. Well, come on, my three little workers. Let's get on my bus and rock and roll.
(Maraya follows Anie and Jess to get on the bus. But when she gets on, she sees Jess in her seat)
Maraya: Jess, what are you doing in my seat?
Jess: Buckling my seatbelt for the trip. What are you doing here?
Maraya: Jess, that's my seat. Please get up from it.
Jess: Nope.
Maraya: But, Jess. My name is Maraya. See? Even my name is above my seat.
Jess: Nope, I'm not getting up from your seat.
Maraya: Please, Jess, get up from my seat or I'll tell Ms. Carolyn!
Jess: Nope. I'm not going to get up from your seat.
Maraya: That's it! I'm going to tell Ms. Carolyn.
Jess: I don't care.
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn, Jess won't get up from my seat.
Ms. Carolyn: Jessica, please let Maraya sit in her seat, okay? You can go sit in the seat behind Anie's seat.
Jess: Fine. Here's your seat, Maraya.
Maraya: Thanks, Jess!
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, is everyone ready to go?
All: Yeah.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, then let's rock and roll!
(She cranks up the bus and then pulls the lever up and starts driving back to the school. The scene changes again to where they get back to the school)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, we're here. See you all later.
Maraya: Bye, Ms. Carolyn. I'll see you later too.
Ms. Carolyn: Bye, Maraya. I'll see you and Anie this afternoon.
Maraya: Okay.
(It changes to where Maraya gets back at the cafeteria)
Students: Hey, Maraya.
Maraya: Hey.
Carmen: How was your first day of work, Maraya?
Maraya: It was fun. We got to put up shoes and became cashiers and we even got to see Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny!
Carmen: Wow, you're lucky. I wish I can go see them.
Novalee: Me too.
Maraya: Well, you have to get a job there like I did, so you can see them too. (she gets shocked) Hey, where's my seat?
Carmen: Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to save a seat for you.
Maraya: Oh, Carmen.
(She gets surprised)
Maraya: Hey, Carmen, there's an empty seat next to Novalee. Can I sit there?
Carmen: Sorry, but this seat is for Jess.
Maraya: Aw…
Carmen: Go sit with those boys over there. There are plenty of empty seats at that table.
Maraya (sighs): Okay…
(She walks away from Carmen to sit with the other boys)
Maraya: This was only my first day of work and Carmen forgot to save me a seat? Oh, this is bad.
(She sees Anie walk up to sit next to her)
Maraya: Well, at least I have you, Anie, cause without you, you would've made the situation worse.
Anie: Yeah, at least you do.
(The scene fades out and then it fades into the next day where Maraya is waiting for her bus)
Ms. Ryan (not seen): Come on, Maraya. Your bus is here, let's go.
Maraya: Okay.
(The scene changes to where they are outside)
Ms. Ryan: Bye, students. See you this afternoon.
All: Okay.
(Then Ms. Ryan waves at them and it changes again to where they get to the Goody-Will)
All: Good morning, Ms. Tessa.
Ms. Tessa: Good morning, my three little workers. Are you ready to do some work?
All: Yeah!
Ms. Tessa: Then come on, let's go
(The students follow Ms. Tessa to somewhere in the store)
Ms. Tessa: Guys, make sure you put away every pair of shoes where they belong, okay?
All: Okay.
Ms. Tessa: Good. I'll be at the front of the store, alright?
All: Alright.
(After Ms. Tessa walks away, Maraya speaks to Jess and Anie)
Maraya: Well, come on. Let's go work.
Both: Okay!
(They start working together and then the scene changes once again to where they are working as cashiers)
Jess (not seen): I hope you have a great rest of your day, ma'am.
All: Hello, welcome to Goody-Will.
Maraya (in her own head): I love this job. It is much better than working at the boring school. 
Jess (not seen): Hello, welcome to the Goody-Will.
(Suddenly, the background changes while Maraya starts to fall in love)
Maraya (gasps): I love you so much, Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny. You guys are the best people in the world!
(But the background changes back to normal when Jess tells her to stop again)
Jess: Maraya, would you please stop falling in love with them and get to work?
Maraya: Yes, Jess.
Jess: Good.
(As soon as Jess walks away, Maraya tries again)
Maraya: Hello, and welcome to the most wonderful Goody-Will in the world!
Mr. Danny: There she is again.
Ms. Carolyn: Didn't she just work here yesterday?
Mr. Danny: Yes, honey. She worked here yesterday, too.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh.
Mr. Danny: Come on, honey, let's see what's on sale today, okay?
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, okay, dear. Bye, Maraya. See you this afternoon.
Maraya: Bye.
(The scene changes to where they are back in school)
Maraya: Hey, my friends.
All: Hey, Maraya.
Maraya: Hey, where's my seat?
Carmen: Oh, I'm so sorry, Maraya. I forgot to save a seat for you. Here, go sit with those boys over there.
Maraya: Okay.
(Maraya walks away to sit with the other boys)
Maraya: Aw, I can't believe that I have to sit with these rowdy boys at lunch again. (sighs) Well, at least I got you, Anie, cause without you, the situation would get worse.
Anie: Yes. At least you have me here.
(The scene fades out again and fades into the next morning outside of the bus loading zone)
Ms. Ryan (not seen): Maraya, Anie, your bus is here.
(Maraya and Anie get up to walk out of the school. The scene changes to where they are on the bus)
Ms. Ryan: Bye, students. Have a good day at work.
Ms. Pierce: And make sure to work hard.
(The bus leaves to go to the Goody-Will. It changes again to where they get there)
All: Good morning, Ms. Tessa.
Ms. Tessa: Well, good morning, my three workers. Are you ready to work hard today?
All: Yeah!
Ms. Tessa: Then let's go.
(The scene changes once again to where they start to do their work. It changes again to where they are cashiers)
All: Welcome to Goody-Will.
(Then another customer come in)
All: Welcome to the Goody-Will.
(Suddenly, Maraya sees the two customers which causes her to gasp)
Both (not seen): Welcome to Goody-Will.
Maraya: Hey, Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny. I love you so much!
(But all of a sudden, Jess tells her to snap out of it)
Jess: Maraya, snap out of it and do your work.
Maraya: Yes, Jess.
(Jess walks away from her)
Mr. Danny: There she is again, Carolyn. Look!
Ms. Carolyn: Hi, Maraya. It's nice to see you here. Are you having a good time working here?
Maraya: You bet, cause you make it better when you come here.
Ms. Carolyn: Aw, that's nice. It makes us feel good when you see us here.
Maraya: It sure does.
Mr. Danny: Come on, Carolyn. Let's look at their stuff for sale here today, okay, honey?
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, dear. Bye, Maraya. See you this afternoon.
Maraya: Bye, Ms. Carolyn. See you this afternoon too.
(The scene changes to where they get back to school an hour later)
Maraya: Hey, my friends.
All: Hey, Maraya.
Carmen: Hey, Maraya. Go sit with those boys over there.
Maraya: But, Carmen, you made me do that yesterday and the day before. Can't you at least save me a seat?
Carmen: Nope.
Maraya: But - (she stops herself) Hey, there's an empty seat next to Novalee. Let me sit there.
Carmen: No, that seat's for Jess!
Maraya: Carmen, we don't care whose seat is whose. Now let me sit there.
Carmen: No, Maraya, no!
(Maraya sits down in the seat next to Novalee's)
Carmen: Noooooooooo! Maraya, how could you? You just sat in Jess's seat!
Maraya: But, Carmen. It can be anyone's seat, I swear!
Carmen: That's it! I'm moving. Come on, my friends. Let's move with those crazy teachers.
Maraya: Wait, Carmen. I didn't mean to.
(Moment of silence occurs)
Maraya (sighs): It's not fair. This was only my third day of work and now Carmen and the others are not my friends anymore.
(She sighs again and then the scene changes again to where Maraya is walking to her bus sadly)
Maraya: (sighs sadly)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, hey, Maraya. 
Maraya (sadly): Hey.
Ms. Carolyn: What's the matter, Maraya? Didn't you have a great day at work today?
Maraya: I did.
Ms. Carolyn: Then why do you look so sad?
Maraya: Because of what happened back at school after work.
Ms. Carolyn: Tell me. What happened back at school?
Maraya: Well, recently after I get back from work day after day, my friends forget to save me a seat at lunch.
Ms. Carolyn: And then what?
Maraya: And now, Carmen's not friends with me anymore, and neither are my other friends. (sighs) I wish they were my friends again.
Ms. Carolyn: Hmmm, I think I got an idea on how to solve this problem.
Maraya: Really? What is it, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: I'll show you. I'll be right back, Maraya, okay? It's for my idea.
Maraya: Okay.
(She starts to think to herself after Ms. Carolyn walks away)
Maraya (in her own head): I wonder what Ms. Carolyn's idea is. Maybe it's a good one, hopefully.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, Maraya, I'm back, and guess what? I brought a few guests with me. (to everyone) My friends, you may get on the bus now.
(When Maraya's friends get on the bus, Maraya feels shocked)
Maraya: Carmen? Ashley? Novalee? What are you all doing here?
Ms. Carolyn: Wait, Maraya, there's more. (to everyone else) Okay, now the rest of you can get on.
(When the rest of Maraya's friends get on, Maraya gets more shocked)
Maraya: Erin, Nicki, Miranda, Jess. What are you doing here?
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, I've brought your whole class so they can say something to you. (to everyone) My friends, you may go ahead and say something.
Carmen: Maraya, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to forget to save you a seat at lunch.
Novalee: We thought that because you started working at the Goody-Will with Anie and Jess, we decided to not become your friend anymore.
Ashley: So when you came to sit in Jess's seat, Carmen yelled at you.
Nicki: And we never realized how much we hurt your feelings when Carmen and us moved away from you.
Erin: I thought that Jess was only my best friend, but when you said to Carmen that we could sit anywhere, it made me learn that not only Jess was my best friend, but you are our best friend too.
Miranda: (laughing)
Erin: Miranda, stop!
Jess: When you saw Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny earlier, you fell in love with them and you did that every day when you worked there.
Maraya: But, Jess. I can't help it. I'm obsessed with Ms. Carolyn.
Jess: Oh.
Carmen: Anyway, we just came on here to tell you that -
All: We're very, very sorry.
Maraya: It's okay, my friends. (to Ms. Carolyn) Ms. Carolyn, do you think it's okay too?
Ms. Carolyn: Uh huh, it's very okay, Maraya.
Maraya: Phew.
Ms. Carolyn: Friends, just try not to forget again, okay?
All: Okay. Bye, Maraya. See you tomorrow!
Maraya: Bye, my friends. See you tomorrow too! (laughing)
(The scene fades out once again and fades into the next morning at the bus loading zone)
Ms. Ryan (not seen): Maraya, your bus is here.
Maraya: Okay.
(The scene changes to where Maraya is walking outside to get on the bus. Suddenly, she gets surprised)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn, what are you doing here?
Ms. Carolyn: I'm here to take you and your two friends to work.
Maraya: Really? Thank you, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome. Now, let's get on the bus and rock and roll.
(Maraya gets on the bus to sit down and buckle her seatbelt for the trip)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, is everyone ready?
All: Yeah!
Ms. Carolyn: Great. Then let's go!
All: Whoo!
(Ms. Carolyn starts up the bus and then starts driving. The scene changes again to where they get there)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Okay, we're here. You may get off the bus now.
(The three students get off the bus)
Ms. Carolyn: Bye, my three little workers. I'll see you there later, okay?
Both: Okay.
Maraya: Bye, Ms. Carolyn. I will always love you.
Ms. Carolyn: Aw, thanks, Maraya. I will always love you too.
(Maraya waves at her and then walks away to go in the Goody-Will to greet Ms. Tessa)
All: Good morning, Ms. Tessa.
Ms. Tessa: Why, good morning, my three workers. Are you ready to get to work?
All: Yeah.
Ms. Tessa: Great. Then let's do this!
All: Okay!
(The scene changes once again to where they are cashiers again)
All: Hello, welcome to Goody-Will.
(Maraya looks out and sees another customer walk into the store)
All: Hello, welcome to Goody-Will.
(Maraya continues to look out for more customers until she sees her favorite ones)
Both (not seen): Hello, welcome to Goody-Will.
(She starts to fall in love with them while the background changes to a romantic one)
Maraya: Hi, Ms. Carolyn. Hi, Mr. Danny. I love you.
(While she starts hugging Ms. Carolyn, Jess slaps Maraya)
Jess: Maraya, would you just snap out of it and get back to work?
Maraya: But - I -
Jess: Get back to work!
Maraya: Yes, Jess.
(Suddenly, Maraya stops hugging Ms. Carolyn)
Mr. Danny (laughing): Maraya, you can continue hugging my wife like that if you want to.
Maraya: But - (she stops herself to look around) But I don't want Jess to get mad at me for not working.
Mr. Danny: I'm sure Jess won't mind if you leave your cash register, sweetie. Come on, you can go with us to see what they got on sale today.
Maraya: Uh, okay.
(They start to walk away from Maraya's work area and pretty soon Jess wonders where Maraya is at)
Jess: Hey, where's Maraya?
Anie: I'm sure that maybe Mr. Danny took her to the restroom.
Jess: You're probably right, Anie. Maybe she'll be back to continue her work.
(She turns around to continue her work. Meanwhile, Maraya is looking at the items with Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny)
Mr. Danny: Wow, look at this, honey.
Ms. Carolyn: What is it?
Mr. Danny (not seen): It's a really beautiful glass bowl.
Maraya: Let me see.
Mr. Danny: Oh. Honey, Maraya wants to see it, too.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, okay. Here you go.
(She hands Maraya the glass bowl and looks at it for a second)
Maraya: Wow, it sure looks beautiful. 
(She hands it back to Ms. Carolyn)
Mr. Danny: Okay, now let's look at all the other items.
(The three walk away to look at the other items. In the meantime, the scene changes to where Jess is wondering where Maraya is at)
Jess: I wonder what's taking Maraya so long in the restroom. Maybe she has a lot of pressure under her bottom.
Anie: Maybe…
Jess (thinking): Hmmm…
(It changes again to where they are still looking around for items to buy until Maraya sees an item that she really wants)
Maraya (not seen): Wait a minute, I just saw something very interesting.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Oh, what is it, Maraya?
Maraya (not seen): I'll show you.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Okay.
(Maraya runs over to where all of the records are)
Maraya: Look!
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Wow! (she grabs the record and looks at it) It's 1970s disco music group KC and the Sunshine Band. (she shows it to Maraya) You want this record?
Maraya: Yeah, I do. How much does it cost?
Ms. Carolyn: It only costs $4.00.
Maraya: Oh, good, cause you probably have that much money.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's tell Mr. Danny we found this.
Maraya: Okay.
(Meanwhile, Mr. Danny is looking at some more items)
Mr. Danny: Oh, hi. Did you find something interesting, honey?
Ms. Carolyn: I didn't find something interesting, Maraya did.
Mr. Danny: Oh. What did she find?
Ms. Carolyn: She found this.
(She hands Mr. Danny the record so he can look at it)
Mr. Danny: KC and the Sunshine Band? Really, Carolyn? Did you really have to find this here?
Ms. Carolyn: But, dear, KC and the Sunshine Band is me and Maraya's favorite band. Right, Maraya?
Maraya: Right. It's our favorite band. (laughing)
Mr. Danny (laughing along): Okay, I'll buy this for her.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, Mr. Danny. I really appreciate it.
(The scene changes again to where they are at the work area where Jess is at)
Mr. Danny: Carolyn, please take Maraya to the restroom, honey.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay.
(Ms. Carolyn walks away with Maraya to get to the restroom. The setting changes to the inside of the women's restroom)
Ms. Carolyn: There. Now no one will notice you.
Maraya: But, Ms. Carolyn, I'm dressed up like Jess!
Ms. Carolyn: No time to talk, Maraya. We have to go.
Maraya: Whoa!
(The setting changes again to the front of the store)
Jess: Bye, Ms. Carolyn. See you soon.
Ms. Carolyn: Bye, Jessica. See you real soon.
(Ms. Carolyn walks away from Jess's work area. The setting changes once again to the outside of the store in the parking lot)
Mr. Danny: There you are, honey. Are you ready to go?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, dear. I am.
Mr. Danny: That's good. Now get in the car.
(Ms. Carolyn and Maraya get in the car and buckle their seatbelts)
Mr. Danny: Good. You two are buckled up. Now let's go.
(Mr. Danny cranks up the car and then starts driving out of the parking lot. The scene changes once again to where they stop somewhere and it changes to where they are eating lunch together)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): So, Maraya, how was your fun trip with us today?
Maraya: Uh, it was pretty good. In fact, it was great. Thank you, you two, for making this a better day for me.
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome, Maraya. You know that we love you so much. 
Maraya: Yeah. I do know that.
Ms. Carolyn: That's good. By the way, we need to finish our special lunch so we can take you back to school.
Maraya: Okay.
(She continues eating her food. Then the scene changes again to where they are back at school)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, Maraya, you're here.
Maraya: Oh, okay. (she takes off her seatbelt and gets out of the car) Bye, Ms. Carolyn. Bye, Mr. Danny. Thanks for the ride!
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome, Maraya. Goodbye, Maraya. See you this afternoon!
Maraya: Bye, Ms. Carolyn. See you this afternoon too. (winks)
(Maraya walks into the school. It changes once again to where she reaches to the cafeteria)
Carmen: Oh, hi, Maraya. There you are. Look, me and Novalee saved a seat for you.
Maraya: Really? Thanks, Carmen. Thanks, Novalee. You two are the best friends I've ever had.
Carmen: You're welcome, Maraya.
Novalee: So, tell me. What did you do at the Goody-Will today, Maraya?
Maraya: Well, I, uh...
(Meanwhile, Carmen, Novalee, and Jess wait for her to answer)
Maraya: I just put up shoes and became a cashier, that's all.
Novalee: Oh. Did you get to see Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny?
Maraya: Of course I did. I always got to see those people.
Novalee: Wow, Maraya. You're so lucky. I wish I got to see them too.
Maraya (laughing): That means that I had a greater day today.
Carmen, Novalee, and Jess: Yay!
(The scene changes to where Maraya gets on her bus)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya.
Maraya: Hey, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Look who I brought with me.
Mr. Danny: Hi, Maraya.
Maraya: Mr. Danny, hi!
(They start hugging each other and then they stop)
Ms. Carolyn: By the way, Maraya, we brought you a surprise.
Maraya: And I already know what it is.
Ms. Carolyn: Really? How do you know?
Maraya: Because you bought it for me at the Goody-Will.
Ms. Carolyn: Really? Tell me. What is it?
Maraya: It's a KC and the Sunshine Band record.
Ms. Carolyn: In fact, yes. That is your surprise.
Maraya: Wow, it's amazing. Thanks, Ms. Carolyn!
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome, Maraya. And whenever you have a rough day, let me know, because me and Mr. Danny will always have a plan up our sleeves.
Maraya: Okay. (laughing)
Mr. Danny: And Maraya?
Maraya: Yes?
Mr. Danny: You can still hug my wife, Carolyn, like that, you know. No one would mind if you do.
Maraya: Thanks, Mr. Danny.
Mr. Danny: You're welcome.
(He comes over to Maraya and they hugged each other)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn? Mr. Danny?
Both: Yes?
Maraya: I just want to tell you this, but I decided to…
Ms. Carolyn: You decided to what, Maraya?
Maraya: Well, I decided to be myself and not work at the Goody-Will.
Ms. Carolyn: What? But, Maraya, I thought that you love working at the Goody-Will.
Maraya: I do, but all my friends miss me. And plus, Ms. Ryan was right. I am too young to work there, so now, I'm gonna quit.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, you're right. You should quit. You could've waited until you were a little older to work there.
Maraya: Yeah, I could've. I'm sorry, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: I think you should apologize to Ms. Ryan.
Maraya: Okay.
Ms. Carolyn: I'll go get Ms. Ryan. 
(As soon as Ms. Carolyn walks away, Maraya thinks to herself)
Maraya (in her own head): I can't believe that I have to apologize to Ms. Ryan. I didn't even do anything wrong.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Okay, Maraya. I got Ms. Ryan.
Ms. Ryan: Hey, Maraya. What do you want to say to me?
Ms. Carolyn: Ms. Ryan, Maraya's going to apologize to you.
Ms. Ryan: Oh.
(When Maraya is trying to speak up for herself, Ms. Carolyn tells Maraya to go ahead)
Ms. Carolyn: Go ahead, Maraya. You can do it.
Maraya (gulps nervously): Okay...
(Then she looks up and apologizes to her)
Maraya: I'm sorry.
Ms. Ryan: You're sorry? But you didn't even do anything wrong!
Maraya: I did do something wrong.
Ms. Ryan: Oh. What did you do?
Maraya: When I asked you if I can work at the Goody-Will, you said that I was too young to work there, so then I said that I promised that I would be professional there. But on the third day after work, Carmen and friends decided to not become my friends anymore, so I told Ms. Carolyn to get my friends so they can apologize to me. And now, I'm apologizing to you because I worked there at such a young age and I wasn't supposed to. I was supposed to wait until I was Anie and Jess's age to work there. I just want to tell you that I'm very sorry for doing that and I promise to just be myself.
Ms. Ryan: It's okay, Maraya. I'm sure that you didn't mean to be like Anie and Jess. But anyway, thank you for trying to work at a new workplace. I know that you just wanted to make more money, so you decided to work there.
Maraya: No! That isn't the reason why I wanted to work there. 
Ms. Ryan: Huh?
Maraya: I wanted to work there because Anie and Jess got to see Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny and I didn't. So I decided to work there. But every time I see them, I fall in love with them. I mean, really, they are my favorite people and they are the best. So, please, will you forgive me?
Ms. Ryan: Of course I will forgive you, Maraya. You know that all teachers forgive you after you apologize.
Maraya: Really?
Ms. Ryan: Yes, Maraya. Really.
Maraya: Oh, thank you. You are the best teacher ever. And no matter what, I'll always be in your heart.
Ms. Ryan: Aw.
(Maraya and Ms. Ryan start hugging each other and after that they stopped)
Ms. Ryan: Well, Ms. Carolyn, I got to go. Bye. Thank you for getting me and thank you for getting me too, um, what's your name?
Mr. Danny: My name is Mr. Danny.
Ms. Ryan: Oh. Well, thank you for getting me too, Mr. Danny.
(Ms. Ryan walks away and gets off the bus)
All: Bye, Ms. Ryan.
(The scene zooms out and then it fades in again to the next morning)
Ms. Carolyn: Why, good morning, Ms. Ryan. Happy boogie shoes day!
Ms. Ryan: Good morning, Ms. Carolyn. Happy boogie shoes day to you - (she stops herself) Um, Ms. Carolyn, what's boogie shoes day?
Ms. Carolyn: Boogie shoes day is a special day where we put our boogie shoes on and dance along.
(Ms. Ryan is still confused)
Ms. Carolyn: On this day, we listen to the "Boogie Shoes" song and we party on the bus in the afternoon.
Ms. Ryan: Oh. Who sings that song?
Ms. Carolyn: KC and the Sunshine Band does.
Ms. Ryan: Oh, thank you for telling me that.
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome. (winks)
Ms. Ryan: By the way, Ms. Carolyn, are your students here?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, they are. (to students) Okay, students. You may get off the bus now.
(All of the students get off the bus, while Maraya says goodbye to Ms. Carolyn)
Maraya: Bye, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Bye bye, Maraya. And remember, be yourself. (winks)
Maraya: I will. (winks back)
(Maraya walks away to go in the little classroom to sit down. The scene changes to where she is sitting with Anie)
Anie: So, Maraya, are you going to work at the Goody-Will with us today?
Maraya: No, I decided not to.
Anie: Why not?
Maraya: Because I decided to become myself.
Anie: But, Maraya, today is payday. Are you sure that you don't want to work there?
Maraya: I'm sure.
Anie: Okay. I'll make sure to tell Jess that you don't want to go.
Jess (not seen): Maraya, Anie, our bus is here.
Anie: Jess, Maraya doesn't want to work today.
Jess (not seen): But today's payday. Why doesn't Maraya want to work with us?
Anie: Jess, come here and maybe Maraya will explain why.
Jess (not seen): Okay.
(Jess comes in the classroom to hear Maraya's explanation)
Jess: So, Maraya, why do you not want to work with us today?
Maraya: Well, it's because I want to be myself. When I asked Ms. Ryan if I can work there, she said that I was too young. But I told her that I would promise to be professional there so I can see my favorite people. So after I got in the cafeteria, my friends forget to save me a seat and that made me feel bad. Please can I stay in school today? I promise to be myself there.
Jess: Okay, you can quit your job there.
Maraya: Yay! Thank you, Jess!
Jess: No problem.
(She walks away from Maraya)
Maraya: Bye, Jess. Bye, Anie. See you later. (blows kiss)
(After that, a circular effect appears to change the whole scene. Some music plays in the background while Maraya completes the whole school day. Then it changes again to where Maraya gets outside to the bus loading zone an hour later)
Novalee: Look, here she comes!
(Carmen and Novalee cheer for Maraya after she comes out)
Both: Yay, Maraya! Whoo!
Maraya: Thank you, thank you. Thank you for the cheering.
Carmen: You're welcome.
Novalee: Let's give a big group hug for the celebration.
Maraya: Okay.
(They all hug each other and then Maraya walks away)
Both: Bye, Maraya. Have a great weekend!
Maraya: Bye, Carmen. Bye, Novalee. You have a great weekend too.
Both: Thanks.
(Maraya walks to her bus and gets on it)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya. What happened to you at work today?
Maraya: I decided to quit the job and just become myself.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh. So does that mean that you're not going to see us anymore?
Maraya: Yep. It sure does.
Ms. Carolyn: Aw, we're going to miss you, Maraya.
Mr. Danny: Yes, we are.
Maraya: But, hey, at least today's Friday. Ms. Carolyn, can we have a party to celebrate?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, Maraya. We'll certainly have a party after we have all our students.
Maraya: Yay!
(The scene changes once again to where all of the students are on the bus)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, do we have everyone?
Ms. Brenda: Yes, we do, Carolyn. Now you can crank up the bus and get out of here.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay. (to Mr. Danny) Bye, Mr. Danny. See you later at home, dear.
Mr. Danny: Okay, honey. Bye, Maraya. See you soon.
Maraya: Bye, Mr. Danny. See you soon too.
(When Mr. Danny gets off, Ms. Carolyn closes the student doors)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, my students. Here we go, it's time to rock and roll!
Students (not seen): Whoo!
(Ms. Carolyn then cranks up the bus and starts driving out of the bus loading zone. When they are on the road, Ms. Carolyn tells Ms. Brenda to "hit it")
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, Brenda. We're on the road now. Hit it!
Ms. Brenda: Okay, here we go.
(Ms. Brenda plays the song on her smartphone and it makes the students cheer)
Students (not seen): Whoo!
(The students starts dancing along to the song. In the meantime, Ms. Carolyn sings along to it)
Ms. Carolyn (singing along): 🎵I want to put on
My-my-my-my-my boogie shoes
Just to boogie with you, uh huh huh🎶
Students (not seen): Whoo!
Ms. Brenda: Okay, that's it, students. Give yourself a round of applause.
Students: (applauding)
Maraya (in her own head): And so, that's how it went with the Goody-Will this week. It was awesome, but still, I prefer being myself because I get to see all my friends again. And I hope that you'll learn how to become yourselves too. Goodbye. Happy boogie shoes day!
(The scene zooms out of the bus and after it is driven away, it fades out to a complete end)
