OLIVIA: Good! You can read my story too! It’s in my room let’s go! (Olivia exits to their room)
LILY: Oh, Heather, Jack’s coming over so...
HEATHER: Oh, another mouth to feed? That’s lovely! I’m really happy you told me in advance, Lily, I’m completely ready to be having guests over.
LILY: He comes everyday...
HEATHER: No, no really! I’m ecstatic that he’s coming over! I could just pee my pants I’m so excited! I don’t think you understand the pure, unadulterated joy I feel to have to somehow whip together a whole nother serving with just a few minutes to do so!
LILY: If it’s really too much for you I can--
HEATHER: Absolutely not! Go listen to your sister’s story. I want to have all the fun to myself! (LILY exits to her room, blackout)

OLIVIA: Well it’s supposed to be NEIGHBORS!!
LILY: Alright, alright! That was pretty close though, very good guess. The two royal families--
