Across campus at the Jewel House, Brian is with his girlfriend, LaShonda.
Lashonda: It's so quiet over here today. I can't believe it. Your bruhs are normally all over the house being loud.
Brian: Yeah.....I don't know where they are. I thought Nate and Jovan were at home but they was gone by the time I got here.
Lashonda: Hmm, that's strange. Do you think you should call them?
Brian: Nah, I'm sure they aight. They're big boys.
Lashonda: So how are your plans goin' for the Diversity step?
Brian: Alright, I guess. I'll just be glad when it's over. It's so time consumin'.
Lashonda: Yeah tell me about it. I barely see you anymore!
Brian: Don't put that all on me! You the one tryin' to be an AKA!
Lashonda: Shh! Brian! Don't say that so loud! Someone might hear you!
Brian: First of all, ain't nobody even here. Second, the only person you better be worryin' about is your mama! Now you know Mrs. Edwards is not havin' her only daughter bein' an AKA.
Lashonda: Yeah, well mama better get used to it cause that's all I've been dreamin' about for as long as I can remember.
Brian: Well I hope you been savin' up for that dream cause you can forget about your mom payin' for it!
Lashonda: You forget that my mother's college roommate, also known as my godmother is an AKA?
Brian: Oh so you plan on goin' to your Auntie Melinda for the money?
Lashonda: If I have to! I'm sure she'd be more than willing to help her only goddaughter follow in her footsteps.
Brian: Maybe.
Lashonda: What does that mean?
Brian: Does Auntie Melinda know what you been up to?
Lashonda: No she doesn't and she won't know as long as you keep your mouth shut!
Brian: Shonda, I don't know. The stuff you been tellin' me don't sound right. I just don't want you to get in trouble and ruin your chances of ever becomin' an AKA.
Lashonda: I won't. Don't worry about me. As a matter of fact, what time is it?
Brian (looking at his cell phone): 8:50
Lashonda: Oh no! I'm gonna be late! I have to be behind the diner at 9:08. Can you give me a ride?
Brian: (sighing) I guess so but I really don't think......
Lashonda: Look Brian, I don't have time for this. Either you can take me or you can't.
Brian: Alright........let's go.

Off Campus at Baldwin Memorial Hospital, Natalie is finally awake.
Sheena: Nat........
Natalie looks over and sees Sheena coming in the door.
Natalie (whispering): Sheena....is that you......
Sheena: Oh Nat! I'm so happy that you're okay!
Nathaniel and Demetrius come rushing into the room.
Nathaniel: Nat, are you okay?
Natalie: Nate........where's Demetrius?
Demetrius: I'm right here, baby! How are you feeling?
Natalie: My head......
Sheena: The Doctor said you might have a bad headache for awhile.
Natalie: What happened?
Demetrius: You had a fall on campus.
Natalie: I did?
Nathaniel: Yes, you fell. Outside of the caf. You don't remember?
Natalie (looking confused): No........I don't. Is that bad?
Demetrius: Oh no. Baby, you don't remember any of it?
Sheena: Demetrius, don't get upset. Remember my dad said she might have some short term memory loss. I'm sure he'll be by pretty soon.
The nurse walks in and interrupts them.
Nurse: Okay you all, you are going to have to wrap it up soon. Natalie needs her rest. Besides, there is one other person who would like to see her.
Natalie: Someone else wants to see me? Who?
Nurse: A young lady named Taylor. She said she's one of your sorority sisters. Should I send her in?

Scene 2 Continued...
Lashonda is dropped off a block from the diner. She looks down and realizes that she has less than 5 minutes to meet the other girls behind the building.
Lashonda: Hey ya'll.
Other girls: Hey Shonda.
Lashonda: Is Big Sister here yet?
Denitra: Nah, she ain't here yet.
Lashonda: I thought I was gonna be late.
Denitra: Yeah, me too. I was worried about you, girl.
Lashonda: I can't get in trouble this early. We just gettin' started.
Denitra: Yeah, I know.
Lashonda: Hey Denitra, I gotta ask.........I thought you weren't even interested in any of the organizations.
Denitra: I wasn't. But........
Lashonda: But what? You ain't doin' this cause of Joriah, are you?
Denitra: I don't know.
Lashonda: You don't know? Girl.......being in a sorority is serious! You can't just join one for some guy. Don't you think that's a lot to go through just to impress somebody?
Denitra: It's not that I'm tryin' to impress him. It's just.........ever since he became a Kappa, I feel so........I don't know. It's like I don't even know him anymore. I figured if I was greek, maybe we'd have somethin' in common again.
Lashonda: Dag girl. You must really love him.
Denitra: Yeah, I do. So why do you want to be an AKA? Ain't your mom a Delta?
Lashonda: Yeah, she is.
Denitra: Does she know you are doin' this?
Lashonda: No she doesn't and if I can help it, she won't know until after I get my letters.
Denitra: When is that gonna be anyway? I mean......we been meeting every other night for what.........3 weeks now....and we still haven't even seen any of the chapter members. I mean night after night......it's only Big Sister......
Just then, the girls are interrupted...
"Alright you wannabe's! Fall in line!"
Denitra, Lashonda, and the other girls all line up against the wall.
Mona: Is that how you greet your big sister?

Scene 3 Continued
Natalie: What? Why is Taylor here?
Sheena: Nat, you really don't remember what happened?
Natalie: No, why? Was Taylor there?
Sheena looks around at Demetrius and Nate who both shrug their shoulders.
Nurse: Well, what do you want me to do?
Natalie: I guess she can come in.
Nurse: Okay, I'll get her.
The nurse turns to leave and Sheena goes over to hug Natalie. Nathaniel gives his little sister a kiss on the forehead, followed by Demetrius who kisses her and squeezes her hand before they turn to leave. The nurse returns with Taylor following behind her.
Nurse: Taylor, you only have a few minutes. Natalie suffered a big fall and needs her rest. Please try to limit your visit to 3 minutes, okay?
Taylor: Yes, ma'am.
Taylor walks closer to Natalie.
Taylor: Hey Natalie.
Natalie: Taylor.
Taylor: I don't really know what to say.
Natalie: I thought you said you needed to see me.
Taylor: I did. I do, I mean...well I guess I just wanted to say how sorry I was.
Natalie: Sorry about what?
Taylor: Well........about the accident. I feel like this is all my fault.
Natalie: Your fault how?
Taylor: Natalie, don't you remember what happened?
Natalie: No, I don't. Sheena said I fell.
Taylor: You did. Outside of the cafeteria.
Natalie: I just don't remember that. Why was I chasing you?
Taylor: I'm not sure. We never really got a chance to talk.
The Nurse walks back into the room.
Nurse: I'm sorry, ladies but I'm going to have to cut this visit short. Natalie, you really need to get some rest.
Taylor: I understand. Natalie, I just wanted to say I was sorry for what happened. I hope you won't be angry with me. I really would like for us to start over.
Natalie: I'm sorry, Taylor, I just don't remember anything. Oh wait. I do remember one thing....
Taylor: Yes? Natalie....what is it?
