## Script

### INT. STEVIE'S HOUSE - MORNING

[Stevie and Julie are finishing up decorating the house for Lucas' birthday. Stevie then looks around.]

**Julie**: "Is everything ready?"

**Stevie**: "Hmm. Well we got decorations. So check. Cake? Check. Presents? ..Half-check. Pinata.."

**Julie**: "Isn't he too young for a pinata??"

**Stevie**: [Rolls eyes] "No one's too young for a pinata, Julie."

**Julie**: "If you say so."

**Stevie**: "Now. I'll go wake up Lucas and get him ready for his big day. He's going up so fast.."

**Julie**: [Accidently pops a loud balloon.] "Oh.. sorry."

[Suddenly, Lucas is heard crying from his room.]

**Stevie**: [Scowls. Mumbling] "Well you did one task for me.. task 2 is getting him to stop crying.."

[Julie chuckles nervously.]

### INT. STEVIE'S HOUSE - KITCHEN - MORNING

[Lucas, who is wearing his new birthday clothes, is in his highchair as Stevie just finished feeding him his first solid food. Stevie coos at Lucas.]

**Stevie**: "Who's turning 2 today? You are! You are!"

[Lucas looks pretty unamused but a small smile appears on his face.]

**Stevie**: "There's that little smile!"

[The doorbell is heard.]

**Stevie**: "Oh, looks like the first guest is here. Come on, birthday boy."

[Stevie picks up Lucas from his highchair and carries him into the living room. He opens the front door. Arion is at the door, holding Jeremiah, who is holding a tiny present.]

**Arion**: "Hi, Stevie! Hi, Lucas"

**Jeremiah**: *[Copying]* "Hi, 'tevie. Hi, Wucas."

**Stevie**: "Hi, Arion. Hi, Jeremiah. Glad to see you guys." [Smiles] "Come in! Just don't pop any balloons."

**Arion**: "Eh, okay." [Places Jeremiah on the ground next to Lucas, Jonah, and Ryan *(Baby)*] "Wow, Stevie. You did it great job decorating."

**Stevie**: "Looks good, right?! It only took me 2 hours."

**Arion**: "2 hours..?"

**Stevie**: [Deep voice] "Don't ask."

**Arion**: "Okay, okay. I won't."

[Stevie and Arion continue talking, as Jeremiah, Jonah, and Ryan talk to Lucas.]

**Jonah**: *[Baby-talk]* "Are you excited? You seem sad.."

**Lucas**: *[Baby-talk]* "I am! I just want cake now.."

**Jeremiah**: *[Baby-talk]* "Well, we have to wait for others! Hey, I got you a present to cheer you up!"

**Lucas**: *[Baby-talk]* "Present?? For me?"

**Jeremiah**: *[Baby-talk]* "Duh! Of course"

**Lucas**: [Baby-talk] "Yay!" [Opens the present to see a stuffed bunny] "A teddy?"

**Jeremiah**: [Baby-talk] "It talks though!"

[The doorbell rings again. Stevie goes to answer it. Antonio and Dylan are at the door. There's also Levi and Lilac.]

**Stevie**: "Hey guys! Come in!"

[Everyone comes in, as Antonio places Dylan down. Dylan, Levi, and Lilac walk over to the other toddlers. While Stevie is talking to the others, Finn comes down and accidently pops a balloon. There is silence, until each toddler in the room starts crying hysterically. Stevie covers his ears and looks at Finn, angrily.]

**Stevie**: "Finn! Look at what you started! You idiot child!"

[Finn frowns as his eyes water and he then he starts crying.]

**Finn**: "IT'S NOT MY FAULT! YOU'R THE ONE WHO PUTS BALLOON EVERYWHERE!!"

**Stevie**: "Oh, right. But that doesn't excuse what you did?!"

**Finn**: [Crying] "I.. I just wanted to give Lucas a present! But since you don't appreciate my kindness, I'll gladly give this to someone else!"

**Stevie**: "Ugh, fine! I bet Lucas wouldn't even want your present!" [Crosses arms] "Go off! Go burn it and step on it with HATE!"

[Finn gasps as he cries even more and runs off to his room. The toddlers have stopped crying as Lucas has a sad look on his face, feeling bad for Finn. As for everyone else, they all look at Stevie angrily. Stevie looks at them with a calmer expression.]

**Stevie**: "Uh.." [Laughs nervously] "Well this wasn't planned to happen.."

**Antonio**: "Obviously not. You yell at a poor little toddler who just wants to give your brother a gift?? For shame, Stevie.."

[Stevie looks absolutely deflated. Not literally.]

**Arion**: "I don't think.. my brother would want to stick around with someone like you."

[Jeremiah is playing blocks with the other toddlers, until Arion takes his hand and takes him away.}

**Arion**: "Come on, little bro."

[Lucas looks upset.]

**Antonio**: "As much as Dylan likes violence, I don't think he would like this." [Picks up Dylan]

**Dylan**: [Baby-talk] "Are you f\*cking kidding me? This is spectacular!"

[Soon, one-by-one, all of Lucas' friends leave out the door. That just leaves Stevie, Lucas, Jonah, and Ryan alone. Julie walks in out of nowhere.]

**Julie**: "Alright! Let's starts the party ki- Woah.. was there a crime scene here??"

[A guilty looking Stevie is sitting in a chair, as he sadly blows a party horn.]

**Stevie**: "There might as well have been..."

[Stevie walks away to his room and closes the door. Julie is confused as she walks over to the toddlers.]

**Julie**: "Do you guys know what happened??"

**Lucas**: "Stevie and Finn fight."

**Julie**: "Hm?"

**Lucas**: "Fight."

**Julie**: "They had a fight..?"

**Lucas**: "Uh-huh. Stevie use his mean voice when Finn popped ba-doon."

**Julie**: "Oh.. this isn't good. Darn it, they're supposed to get along! I don't want my brother and boyfriend being mean to each other!"

[Lucas shakes his head.]

### INT. STEVIE'S ROOM DOOR

[Julie gently knocks on Stevie's room door.]

**Julie**: "Stevie? Can i please come in? You wanna talk to me?"

[No response at first. A few seconds of silence pass, as Stevie sighs.]

**Stevie**: [In a low tone] "Sure."

**Julie**: [Smiles] "Oh, goodie."

[Julie walks in the room and sits next to Stevie on the bed.]

**Julie**: "So I heard that.. you- yelled at Finn?"

[Stevie doesn't say anything and looks down in guilt.]

**Julie**: "But why? He just wanted to give Lucas a present. You know he didn't mean any harm."

**Stevie**: "I know. I know he did. I think it all the decorating and the crying messed up my head.. I just wish babies weren't so scared of balloons."

**Julie**: [Smiles] "It's okay, we all make mistakes. But we have to fix those mistakes sometimes. Even if it's a broken glass."

**Stevie**: "Yeah, but this isn't just broken glass, we're dealing with a broken toddler's heart. And a kid's ruined birthday."

**Julie**: "I see. Well how about this. Why don't we take somewhere? Like take them out to have fun. Together. Then we can get a cake and sing happy birthday to Lucas!"

**Stevie**: "That doesn't sound too bad of an idea."

**Julie**: [Claps in happiness] "Awesome! This is gonna be fun!"

**Stevie**: "Hopefully.."

### INT. TOON FAIR

[Julie, Stevie pushing Lucas in a stroller, and Finn walking with them with his arms crosses and a grumpy face.]

**Stevie**: "Okay, guys. What should we do first?"

**Finn**: "Throw rocks at your head and then beat you with them."

[Stevie laughs nervously.]

**Julie**: "I know! Let's go on the ferris wheel!"

**Stevie**: "We can't. Well, Lucas can't.."

**Julie**: "Oh, right. Well, why don't we go to the bouncy house area??"

**Lucas**: "Bouncy house?"

**Julie**: "Yes, it's a house but instead of a floor, it has a trampoline!"

**Lucas**: "Yay!"

**Julie**: "Yeah! Yay!"

**Stevie**: "Yeahh.." [Looks at Finn] "Doesn't that sound fun, Finn??"

**Finn**: [Grumbles] "Sure."

**Stevie**: "Okay.."

[It shows montage of Stevie, Julie, Lucas jumping in the trampoline. Everyone is having fun except Finn, who is still upset. Stevie looks nervous.]

**Julie**: "What next?!"

**Lucas**: "Cotton candy!" [Points] "Wook!"

**Julie**: "Yummy!"

**Stevie**: "Ooh.. Finn, look. Cotton canddyy.. doesn't that sound great?"

[Finn rolls his eyes.]

**Stevie**: "How about this? How about i give you a plane ride?"

[Finn, still having a grumpy attitude, lifts up his arms. Stevie then picks him up as he swings him around like a plane. At first, Finn wasn't amused,.]  but he soon started to smile weakly.]

### INT. TOON POOL

[Stevie, Julie, Lucas, and Finn are in their swimwear. Lucas and Finn are wearing arm-floaties. Stevie looks at Finn.]

**Stevie**: "Wanna swim?"

**Finn**: "I can't swim. Scared of it."

**Stevie**: "Oh, come on. I'm doing the best I can to regain your trust."

[Finn groans.]

**Stevie**: "How about I just hold you?"

**Finn**: "What If i drown!?"

**Stevie**: "I'm not gonna let you drown, Finn."

**Finn**: "Fine."

[Stevie then holds Finn and gets into the water while still holding him.]

**Stevie**: "See? It's not so bad."

**Finn**: "Hmph."

**Stevie**: "Here. Why don't you get on this floatie." [Puts him on a duck floatie] "There."

**Finn**: "What is this? A duck boat?"

**Stevie**: "No, it's a floatie. I think?".

[Julie is sitting at the edge of the pool, holding Lucas. Lucas points at Stevie and Finn.]

**Lucas**: " Stevie and Finn playing water."

**Julie**: [Smiles] "Yes, I see."

[After a little while, Stevie and Finn are splashing each other. Julie calls out to them.]

**Julie**: "Hey, guys! Why don't we go out for ice cream??"

**Stevie**: "Sounds great!"

**Finn**: "Woohoo, ice cream!" [About to jump off the floatie but stops. Looks at Stevie] "I forgot."

**Stevie**: "Just jump into my arms."

**Finn**: "Okay!"

[Finn jumps into Stevie's arms, causing a few splashes, as they both laugh.]

### INT. STEVIE'S AND JULIE'S HOUSE

[After they ate ice cream, they return home. Stevie then puts Lucas in his highchair, and puts a party hat and a bib on him.]

**Stevie**: "Okay. Time to sing happy birth-"

**Finn**: "Wait!"

**Stevie**: "Huh?"

**Finn**: "I never got to give.. Lucas his present.. i promise i won't pop any more balloons."

[Stevie frowns at first, but then he smiles.]

**Stevie**: "Of course you can give him a present."

[Finn's face lights up, as he rushes upstairs at sonic speed.]

**Stevie**: "Woah, he's fast."

[Finn comes down holding a present and places it on Lucas' highchair.]

**Finn**: "It's for you, Lucas. Happy birthday."

[Lucas giggles as he opens the present. It is a toy guitar.]

**Lucas**: "Banjo!"

**Finn**: "Noo.. it's a guitar."

**Lucas**: "Banjo!"

**Finn**: "Guitar.."

**Lucas**: "Giba-tar."

**Finn**: "Close enough."

**Lucas**: [Smiles] "Cake?"

[Julie and Stevie smile. Stevie then takes out the cake and places it on Lucas' highchair. He lights two candles on it, as they start singing happy birthday. A balloon pops as the singing stops. Lucas' eyes water as everyone then covers their ears. The episode ends.]
