## Transcript:

On a Sunday evening, Lola was at Isabelle’s house for a sleepover.

Lola: I really like what you’ve done with your room, Isabelle.

Isabelle: Thanks.

Isabelle’s brother, Ike came in.

Ike: How are you two lovely ladies doing?

Isabelle: Great! Can you get Lola and I some hot cocoa?

Ike: I’d love to.

Ike left.

Lola: I have a question, Isabelle…

Isabelle: Okay.

Lola: What’s the whole story about your...uh…

Lola pointed to Isabelle’s wheelchair.

Isabelle blushed out of embarrassment.

Isabelle: Well. I was born with paraplegia. And… I was discriminated against because of it.

Lola: So THAT’S why you didn’t forgive me right away after I accused you of faking your disability during that pageant!

Isabelle nodded, then began to cry.

Isabelle: People were so cruel. TWO people even told me I should be EUTHANIZED! I didn’t know what that meant at first, but Ike told me those people wanted me to die to end my suffering.

Isabelle began crying even more.

Isabelle: But I wasn’t suffering, you know! And then hearing you say those things about people in wheelchairs just made me…

Isabelle sighed.

Isabelle: Very upset.

Lola: Well, that won’t happen again. In fact, I just got an idea!

The next day at school, Lola came in with a bunch of fliers and began hanging them up around school.

Lisa, David, and Greg noticed this.

Lisa: What are you doing?

Lola: I’m hanging up some fliers to help educate people about paraplegia. In hopes to have people accept people like Isabelle.

Greg: Isabelle? I know Isabelle! She’s in our class.

Lola: Yes.

Lisa took a flier.

Lisa: But Lola. No offense, but this flier is so illegible.

David: Not to mention, the information is so inaccurate.

Lisa: Have you tried asking Isabelle what her life is like with a wheelchair?

Lola’s eyes widened as she gasped.

Lola: NO! I really should, shouldn’t I?

Lisa: Besides, we’ll help spread awareness AND acceptance if that’s what you want.

David: Greg and I will even go to Corona and help spread awareness and acceptance there.

Greg: We all know Varian and Cassandra would accept Isabelle. But would Zhan Tiri?

Lisa, David, and Greg walked away.

Lola: Sure, whatever. But Isabelle will thank me for what I’ve got planned next.

During recess, Lola found Isabelle by the basketball court on the playground.

Lola waved Isabelle over.

Lucas, Marcus, Mike, and Gus stopped Isabelle.

Lucas: Well, well, well…

Isabelle: Out of my way, boys. I need to talk to Lola.

Marcus: Oh? She doesn’t like you, you know!

Mike: You know she only pities you cause you’re in a wheelchair.

Gus: She actually LOATHES people like you.

Isabelle: Don’t be ridiculous. Lola’s one of my best friends.

Lucas: Oh? Don’t be surprised when she suddenly turns on you…

Lucas, Marcus, Mike, and Gus began laughing as Isabelle rolled up to Lola.

Lola: Were Lucas, Marcus, Mike, and Gus bugging you?

Isabelle rolled her eyes.

Isabelle: Yes. But really, who hasn’t?

Just then, Lacey went up to Lola and Isabelle.

Lacey: I thought I’d see you here.

Isabelle: What do you want, Lacey?

Lacey: Lola, you do know hanging out with losers like…

Lacey pointed at Isabelle.

Lacey: Would totally ruin your reputation.

Lola: You know what, Lacey?

Lacey: No. What?

Lola: You’re despicable! Yeah! Isabelle is a human being and she deserves to be treated as such!

Lacey: But-

Lola: Oh, and you first mock Lana for being a tomboy and rolling around in mud, and now you’re picking on Isabelle? Well, I won’t stand for it! In fact…

Lola pushed Lacey down on the ground.

Lola: You stay down there until you see how worthless you are for picking on everyone.

Lola and Isabelle left.

Lacey: You’ll PAY for this, Lola Loud! And you too, Isabelle Dawson!

After school, Lola went into the pageant hall and went up to Isabelle, who was doing her hair and make-up.

Lola: Isabelle! I have a few questions…

Isabelle: Yeah?

Lola: What exactly is it like being in a wheelchair?

Isabelle: Well. It’s challenging. There aren’t many accessible places, and that was really stressful. Before you and your friends installed those ramps at school, the school wasn’t wheelchair accessible. It got on my nerves. I had to ask many people to help me, but they all refused because… I’m in a wheelchair. Also, before doing regular pageants, I did wheelchair beauty pageants. But I kinda got tired of those, so I decided I wanted to do regular pageants. My parents were worried that I’d get picked on even more by doing these regular pageants, but so far, everyone’s been really nice and hasn’t picked on me.

Lola: That’s good. And again, I’m sorry for everything I said when we first met.

Isabelle: That’s totally alright. I know you probably didn’t expect to have a wheelchair pageant competitor enter your pageants. It must’ve scared you.

Lola: That. And I wanted to win first place.

Dana Dufrense went up on the stage.

Dana: Calling all pageant competitors and judges!

Lola, Isabelle, Lindsey, Winston, Francis, Alfred, Roxanne, Jacqueline, Jane, Jackie, Claudette, and Chinah went to Dana.

Dana: We’ve decided to do something a little different for this week’s beauty pageant…

Winston: Will there be an all boys pageant?

Francis: That would be AWESOME!

Dana: Nope! We’re letting our champion, Lola Loud choose the next pageant topic.

Lola looked surprised.

Lola: Me?

Dana: Yes, you. Now what do you choose?

Lola: Well. We should do a pageant raising awareness AND acceptance for people in wheelchairs. We donate a significant amount of money to those places that aren’t wheelchair accessible!

Dana: I think… That’s a great idea!

Alfred: So, what would the pageant entail?

Lola: Well. I figured, we ALL do the pageant in wheelchairs, that way, Isabelle, you won’t feel so out of place.

Isabelle smiled.

Lindsey: Well, that’s brilliant!

Jane: But I don’t know how wheelchairs work!

Lola: Isabelle will be our official wheelchair coach. Teach us everything we need to know about living life in a wheelchair!

Isabelle: Oh, well… I’d love to!

Jacqueline: Teach us your ways!

Jackie: You seem so… Confident.

Roxanne: And unafraid.

Claudette: But, you’ll always have our fullest support here.

Chinah: Don’t worry about what the haters have to say!

Isabelle: Thanks.

Dana: Well! I think we got ourselves a pageant!

The pageant kids all smiled.

On the way out of the pageant hall, Ike came rushing up to Isabelle.

Ike: You forgot something at home!

Isabelle: What?

Ike held up Isabelle’s favorite lipstick.

Isabelle: My lucky lipstick, Cocoa Moco Cocoa?!

Ike: You don’t want to lose this.

Isabelle: Thanks, Ike. But the pageant is already over. But Lola thought of this fabulous idea for the next pageant!

Lola: A wheelchair acceptance pageant raising awareness AND acceptance. We’ll donate some money to places that don’t have wheelchair access so they can install some ramps and stuff to make things accessible for people in wheelchairs.

Ike: Genius! You know, I’d like to help!

Lola: You do?

Ike: Sure! I think it’s about time people aren’t afraid of people in wheelchairs.

Lola: That’s exactly what I was thinking!

Ike: Now how about we get some ice cream on me?!

Isabelle: I’d love that!

Lola: Me too!

Ike: Great! Then let’s go!

Ike, Isabelle, and Lola headed to the ice cream shop across the street.

On the day of the pageant, the pageant kids were all getting ready.

Lisa, David, and Greg entered the pageant hall.

Lisa: Well, this is quite interesting.

David: Yeah!

Lola wheeled herself to Lisa, David, and Greg.

Lola: This is my idea to raise awareness and acceptance for people in wheelchairs.

Lisa: I’d say, you really outdid yourself.

David: Yeah! Usually, you’re so self-absorbed.

Greg: Yeah! You wouldn’t even do anything for Varian’s birthday last month, and now you’re helping Isabelle.

Lisa: Are you sure you don’t have any other motive?

Lola: Nope! No motive! And Greg, Varian isn’t even alive today, so why would he even care if I did anything for his birthday?

Greg rolled his eyes as Lola rolled away.

Greg: We should still be proud of her. Shouldn’t we?

Lisa and David nodded.

Lisa: Oh yeah.

David: Most definitely.

~ ~ ~

Backstage, the pageant kids all got together.

Isabelle: So, I am really honored you all care about me to do this! I really can’t thank you all enough.

Lindsey: You’re welcome. But it’s hard moving around in this thing! How do you do it?

Isabelle shrugged.

Winston: Well, this is quite...fun.

Francis: Although. My back kinda hurts.

Lola: You’ll get used to it! Isabelle’s been in a wheelchair her whole life and she doesn’t complain.

Isabelle: Well, that’s cause I really have no choice. Be lucky that after this pageant, you can walk around again.

Jane: It must be a struggle. Right?

Isabelle shrugged.

Isabelle: Meh. Not really. Except people do discriminate.

Alfred: We should just end all discrimination. Who’s with me?!

Everyone raised their hands.

Isabelle: Yes, but unfortunately, there’ll ALWAYS be some bad people out there who don’t care who they hurt.

Claudette: But why?

Chinah: Everyone should be nice! And supportive!

Jackie: And accepting of others' differences. Like my Gusie!

Lola: About Gus, Jackie…

Jackie looked confused.

Lola sighed.

Lola: Never mind.

Jacqueline: So, I wonder when Ms. Dufrense is coming out?

Dana came out in a wheelchair, as well.

Dana: This isn’t as comfortable as I thought it would be.

Isabelle: Don’t worry. You’ll be fine!

Dana: I hope so. Now to present the pageant!

Dana rolled over to the main stage area.

A big crowd was forming.

Dana: Now I’d like to introduce - our wheelchair awareness and acceptance pageant! Thought of by our champion, Lola Loud!

Lola rolled onto the stage.

Lola: I wouldn’t have done this without a really good friend of mine, Isabelle Dawson! Come on up here!

Isabelle rolled onto the stage.

Isabelle: All my life I’ve been in a wheelchair. I have paraplegia, and all my life I’ve been discriminated against. I never could find wheelchair accessible places. I never felt like I fit in. Until I met some friends who supported me no matter what. And especially, my new boyfriend, Beau!

Isabelle pointed to a small curly haired boy in the audience, who blushed.

Isabelle: I really want to be accepted. I really want to feel like I belong. Thanks to my parents, and brother Ike, I feel loved. I feel accepted. But I wish the general public could be as accepting. I don’t wanna be known as just “the girl in a wheelchair.” I want to be known as Isabelle, your good friend. Thank you.

Isabelle bowed and rolled off the stage.

Everyone in the audience clapped.

Dana: Now when the pageant is over, donate over by Lisa Loud and David and Greg Miller, who have set up a donation booth.

Lola smiled at that. She thought they’d help out.

Dana: Now all our contestants to the stage will do their pageant walks in wheelchairs…

All the pageant kids rolled on the stage and wheeled around the stage, as they all posed.

~ ~ ~

After the pageant was over, everyone had donated.

Lisa, David, and Greg were counting the money.

Lisa: We raised over a thousand dollars.

David: Hopefully this is enough to implement accessible entrances and exits in every location.

Greg: We may even have enough to make Corona accessible!

Lola and Isabelle went over to Lisa, David, and Greg.

Lola: Thank you so much!

Isabelle: You 3 have been very helpful. As had Lola…

Isabelle blushed.

Lola: Don’t mention it, Isabelle! You’re strong. And brave. I couldn’t ask for a better friend!

Isabelle smiled and hugged Lola.

Lola: So, how about we get some celebratory hamburgers and milkshakes at Burpin’ Burger?

Isabelle: I’m in!

David: So am I!

Lisa: Me, as well!

Greg: Me too!

They all left the pageant hall.

Later that night, Isabelle was snuggled in her bed.

Ike came in.

Ike: So, that was a really nice thing Lola did for you.

Isabelle: I’ll say. I hope there’s some way I can thank her.

Ike: I’m sure there is.

Ike kissed Isabelle on the forehead.

Ike: Good night, Isabelle.

Isabelle: Good night, Ike.

Ike turned off the light as Isabelle dozed off.
