[Stephanie is playing "tea party" with Michelle when there is a knock on their door. Stephanie goes to answer it.]
Stephanie: Jennifer [S.]! Jennifer [P.]! What are you doing here?
Jennifer S.: We thought we'd stop by. We were on our way to Jennifer's house. Not this Jennifer [motioning to Jennifer P.], the other one.
Stephanie: Great! Welcome! So, what's going on?
Michelle: Stephanie, we're playing "tea party".
Jennifers: "Tea party"?
Stephanie: She must be running a fever. [puts her hand on Michelle's forehead.] Ooh! She's burning up. I'll be right back. I have to pack her in ice [puts her other hand on the back of her head and takes her out into the hall].
Michelle: I don't feel sick.
Stephanie: Of course you're not sick. I just need some privacy! (see Trivia) If the Jennifers like me I get to sit at the cafeteria "power table" [taking a cue from "Back to School Blues"].
Michelle: [sarcastically] Big wow.
Stephanie: Look, these are the coolest girls in the fifth grade! Just stay out! [to the Jennifers, as she walks back in] Excuse the interruption. [But apparently, her roommate doesn't listen, as she follows her big sister back in.]
Michelle: [looks them over] They don't look so cool.
[The Jennifers look at each other in disbelief.]
Stephanie: That fever. She's delirious. [grabs Michelle by the shoulders this time as she takes her back out.] Michelle, I am begging you! Just stay out.
Michelle: It's my room, too!
Stephanie: Look, go away now and I promise: the next time I do something really, really important, you can stay. Deal?
Michelle: Deal. [They shake hands, and Stephanie heads back into the room and closes the door, leaving Michelle to ponder her next move.] Who can I bother? D.J.! [She walks to what was her bedroom, and is now her really big sister's.]
