## Transcript

It was a cold January night in London, England. The Lawson family was huddled over the fireplace.

Hugh: Mom, when will this blizzard end? Tomas and I were going to go shopping for college textbooks.

Hannah: It'll end soon.

Hugh: School better not be cancelled. I have to take my SAT test tomorrow.

Alicia: I could tutor you.

Hugh: No thanks. Besides, what do you know about the properties of physics and Charles Darwin?

Alicia: Plenty you don't know.

Hugh rolled his eyes.

He began shivering.

Hugh: Dad, you NEED to make some of your famous tomato soup, like, now!

Aaron: Hang on. I'm checking the weather.

The Lawson siblings (in unison): UGH!

Aaron: There'll be clear skies the rest of the week. Oh. But tomorrow...we'll be here a while.

Audrey: What do you mean? My hair can't last in this cold! It'll be totally frozen!

Ashley: Oh please. Just do what I do. Wear a hat!

Audrey: Oh god no!

The power went out.

Alana: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! This is a disaster! The internet's gone!

Hugh: Oh big deal!

Alana: It is when my precious Howie-bae is about to text in a few minutes!

Hugh rolled his eyes.

Angela: Well, I can't play basketball in this cold. I'm screwed.

Anna: And my video games! Hello? I never saved my last Pokemon game!

Abby: Sigh. This is better than being trapped in the light. The heat. The...

Hugh: Well, you might miss your poems. Yeah. I actually used a few of them to start the fire.

Abby: You didn't.

Hugh: I'm kidding.

The next morning, they were still stuck at home.

Hugh: That's it. I'm getting outta here!

Hannah: No! It's not safe out there.

Hugh: Please. I got my coat, gloves, hat, boots...you name it!

Hannah: Okay, then. Just be careful.

Hugh: I will!

Hugh left.

Alana: Well, if Hugh's leaving... I am!

Amanda: No! I am!

Angela: No me!

Aaron: Quiet! Hugh wanted to go to the library. Remember?

Hannah: To study for his SAT's.

Alicia: I could've tutored him. Just saying.

Hannah: This could be a nice day to spend together as a family.

Aaron: Yeah! Let's seize this opportunity.

Lawson sisters (in unison): Okay, okay...

Hannah: Good. We'll have fun. Trust me.

Meanwhile, at the library...

Hugh was reading his SAT prep book when the power went out.

Hugh: Seriously? The power went out HERE?!

Hugh grumbled and started to head home.

Meanwhile, back at home, the rest of the family were playing card games.

Alana: Go fish!

Alicia: We were playing Uno.

Amber: Who cares? I wanna share my new song with you.

Alison: And my jokes.

Alicia: WHO CARES!?

The sisters began arguing right when Hugh entered.

Hugh: I'm home!

The sisters continued arguing.

Hugh: Hello?

The sisters argued even more.

Hugh: That's it.

Hugh left and headed to his room.

Amber: Did you hear something?

Amanda: Heh. I don't know.

Anna: Let's just finish this game.

Suddenly, the power came back on.

Audrey: Oh yay! Time to fix my hair!!

Audrey left.

Alicia: Well. I guess we'll all go back to school tomorrow.

Anna: Phew! I thought I was going to be stuck here forever!

All the sisters united in a group hug.

Abby: That was nice.
