Growing up, I always made clothes for my sister.

Lena, what's wrong?

What's wrong is I can't go to Nicky's party because I hate this stupid top and

everyone's going to make fun of me.

Whoa, that is not going to happen. A, because that is a really cute top and B,

if you don't like it, just wear something else.

I don't have anything, Kel.

As someone who has been there before, let me see what I can do.

What do you think?

I think yay and thank you.

Dad, check out my top.

Mila fixed it for me.

Impressive. Really impressive.

You could make a living out of that.

Before that moment, it was just something I did.

It made me happy, and I didn't think it could be anything more.

So yeah, making clothes for my sister pretty much changed my life.

Which is why I am obsessing, because in ten hours, she and Dad arrive.

We're electrically connected.

We're lighting our own way. We got this all together, no matter what they say.

We'll weather any storm and we'll ride it to the end to stay connected.

What do you think?

Jacket or no jacket?

Ask your dad.

Last summer, I was wearing a summer dress, and he was like, it's going to

I was like, nah!

I got drenched.

I think he's got powers.

Yeah, I definitely trust him more than the weather app.

And what are you doing?

I'm making Dale my magic happy lunch.

Oh, I love your magic happy lunch.

But does Dale really deserve it?

Well, sort of, because I'm going to confront him about the lying and

and that's not fun, so...

Balance out a serious conversation with some popcorn sweets.

Do you think it's killing the magic happy lunch if it all goes wrong?

Listen, I've got to go, but Lex, remember, the magic happy lunch is

Family, hi!

Merle, cut it out. I'm grossed from the plane.

Ignore her. She's just crabby from traffic.

It's so good to see you.

Annoying mum has to work.

She sends her apologies.

And?

Scarlet bread!

Are we going in or not?

Yeah, it's just that way.

I mean, she'll start acting like my cute, lovable sister any moment now,

Okay, so the first thing that I wanted to show you... Behold, my

latest masterpiece.

I made it just for you.

What do you think?

It's pretty.

You say pretty as if pretty's a bad thing.

I like it.

Are you sure? Because I can make some adjustments. No.

Don't change a thing. It's perfect as it is.

Now, didn't you say you wanted to show us your portfolio?

Oh, yes.

Just this way.

You're quiet.

I'm always quiet.

How's Mel?

Don't call her Mel.

Okay, sorry.

How's your mum?

Don't know.

We haven't spoken since the mid -year show.

Mum!

Hey, over here.

Do you have to yell like you were raised on a council estate?

Why do you have to force people to look at them?

Thoughts of things.

It's what makes her stand out.

I never pictured you with someone happy.

To be honest, I was starting to think you might be a lesbian.

What, she hasn't phoned you?

Or texted you? Or sent a stupid selfie? My mum always does that.

No, but it's okay.

That's normal for me, you know.

Okay, so this is happening.

Is it weird now that we're no longer together?

Yeah, a little bit.

A little bit less weird, though, I think.

I think so, too.

And does this magic happy lunch have any nutritional value?

No.

All the colours are represented.

We have green, orange and neon blue. You can't actually achieve anything in life

without a regular dose of neon blue.

Guess I'll eat it.

So why do you lie about the date that your mum died?

Well, what?

That was a sudden sweat from conversation.

Why did you?

I didn't want to believe that at first, but I saw her memorial page online, and

unless it's wrong, she didn't die when you said she did.

Okay, yeah, I lied, but I didn't lie about the fact that I miss her

or that I was thinking about her that night.

You could have just said that.

The thing is, I'm in love with you.

I only ever want to be with you, so...

I don't always handle it well when you don't want to be with me.

I know you haven't been in a relationship like this before.

Sometimes things are difficult, you know?

We just have to work through it.

It's tough.

It's weird.

Yeah?

I was mad at you, but now I just feel bad.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Okay, so she's basically ignoring me.

It's okay. I mean, it's not like I imagined... Lena!

I've missed you so much. You are the world's best sister.

No, you're the world's best sister.

Wow,

everyone must find our incredibly close sisterly bond so annoying.

But everyone else is enough.

This jacket design is outstanding.

Can you make me one?

With or without the cape?

With. Why not?

Can we do something else now? I'm so bored.

There you are.

Don't be rude. No, no, it's okay.

I can introduce you to Lee.

Well, I like her.

Well, she doesn't talk much, so... Fun.

But she's with Lenny right now, so... And then it occurs to me, it's all just

soap.

I mean, think about it. Shampoo, showering gel, washing up liquid,

It's a conspiracy to get us to spend more money, which is why I've started to

use soap on everything.

And it's really working for me. How so?

Well, my food always mouth clean.

Interesting. But you've reminded me I need to go and pick up some things. So

thank you for your insights, Lenny.

And I won't be long.

Go, Dad. See you later.

Bye.

Your hair's looking a little more crunchy.

It's much easier to mould now.

Is it, though?

My hand's not stuck. It's just resting on my head.

Elena, do you want to see what we're developing?

Sure.

It's for the foundation yearbook.

And it's almost done, so don't touch it. She won't. She's cool.

Right. I'm very cool.

Do you want to learn my signature fist bump?

Yeah. No, it's each of mine. Hang on.

Hang on. You have to go.

You have to go. Well, at least he's having fun now.

Can I learn your signature fist bump?

Lena, have I done something wrong?

I doubt it.

You never do anything wrong.

What's that supposed to mean?

Lex! Lena, Lena!

How'd it go?

Good, I think.

You said some things and we had a mature discussion.

Mature discussion?

What's happened to you?

Nothing.

Maybe I'm just growing up.

Why would you want to do that?

I don't know.

I've got this boyfriend and things change when you're in a serious

OK. But you just seem a bit flat, like you've lost your Lexi.

Right. Anyway, I've got to get back.

Lexi!

What is up with you?

Nothing. She does seem different.

So you just had to go and point that out?

I was being honest.

You've hardly said anything the whole time you've been here. And then suddenly

Nexi comes along and you just... So you want me to be honest with you?

Yes. You have no idea.

No idea about what? About anything. That's the point.

Who are you and what are you doing in my college?

Why do you care?

You're making the stairs look messy.

Also, it's a Saturday and I have time to care because Ali's not around being a

horrible slave driver.

So? I'm visiting my sister, Nyla Malik.

Nyla's your sister?

Poor thing.

That must be really annoying.

Don't you like her?

No. But everyone likes her.

Because they don't know what it's like.

To what?

To always be in her shadow.

Mum and Dad are always talking about you.

Used to be which fashion week you were modelling at, and now it's how you're

doing at college and how proud they are.

You're the golden girl, and I'm just... Dad was so excited to see you. He didn't

even sleep on the plane.

He always sleeps on the plane. Not this time.

You know he loves you just as much.

Since we've got here, he's called you...

Perfect and outstanding.

And we haven't even been here long.

That's just because I'm not around for him to see how annoying I can be.

I'm jealous of you too.

Why?

Because you get to be at home with Dad's terrible cooking and Mum forcing you to

play weird board games.

And if you're having a bad day, Mum can take you out shopping and Dad's there to

tell you that you're having a drama.

I miss it.

I miss it so much.

Come home, then.

I can't.

I have to make something of my life.

Time for going home and being a kid is gone now.

Do you want a hug?

It feels kind of tragic.

You comforting me.

Is it less tragic if we're comforting each other?

Yeah, I think so.

You hate it, don't you?

You hate it because you're changing and no one's noticed.

Right.

You stay here.

I'll fix this.

Hey, Sam.

You know that metallic material you've been working on?

Yeah, the one we talked about.

You mean the one I talked about? You just listened to my wise ideas.

All right, Malik, if you need to take all the credit.

Actually, I do.

Well, I was wondering if I can see it.

Did you use the copper filings?

Actually, I've been using some steel.

That's not going to have the same movement.

See for yourself.

OK.

Wow.

Not bad.

Can I have just a little bit of that credit now, please? Only if you let me

a bit for a dress for my sister.

Thanks.

Sorry.

I didn't know you were here.

I'll leave you to it.

Or I could stay.

If you want.

Have cookies.

Fine.

Stay.

But I don't want to talk.

About anything.

Good. I hate people talking when I'm trying to watch TV.

It's brilliant, right?

My big sis has skills.

She does.

Aunt Lena, you look like an angel.

A grown -up angel.

That's better.

Ah, here, I got you these.

That friend of yours, Lenny, he was wrong. You need more than just soap.

Thanks, Dad, but don't worry.

I know about soap and other self -care items.

Of course, you've been looking after yourself for quite a while now.

Yeah, and so far, no major emergencies.

Sometimes. You know, it's just hard for a dad to accept that his little girl

doesn't need him anymore.

But she does, though.

No, I don't. Shut up.

She just wants you to know that she's growing and changing and needs you to

with her while she does it.

And not get too mad about it.

And not get too mad about it.

And maybe raise her allowance.

Yeah, that sounds good.

I forgot how the two of you always gang up on me.

Only because we can.

You guys never told me what you thought of the Athena.

I love it.

This stage of your life is just right.

What do you mean at this stage?

I'm not sure exactly.

It's just when I look at you here, I get one of my feelings.

Speaking of which, we should head to the restaurant.

Casual dating isn't really my thing.

With me, you're either all in or all out.

And I'm with you.

I want you to meet my dad.

I'd love to.

Just be yourself.

But not too much.

Exactly. And maybe, you know, the stuff about the octopus and your mum didn't go

down as well as you think.

I've always had the wrong thing.

Don't drag me into this.

You just don't get what it is to be in love.

Doesn't mean talking like a different person.

You just seem a bit flat, like you've lost your Alexei.

You've been crying?

No.

Then your eyes are red because you've been trying a new make -up effect?

Yeah. Why not? Let's go with that.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Don't know what?

Anything.

I did.

I knew who I was and how I felt.

Then Dale says stuff about how being in a relationship means you have to be

serious and...

I felt my Lexiness evaporate.

I thought being in love was meant to make you happy, but me and Dale were

just... No, no, no, Lex, just leave it.

You and Dale were what?

I don't know.

Do sex!

No, no, Lex.

Don't say anything.

Jess, I've been thinking about what you said, about what a crazy, stupid thing I

did and how to make sure I never act like that again.

And I think I've figured it out.

I need you to be mine.

Forever.

Lexi Fitzgerald.

Will you marry me?

I'm sorry I can't.

I love you, but the longer I'm with you, the less I feel like me.

Because I'm not mature.

And I like going out. And I don't want to change.

I'm mostly awesome sauce.

It's not mostly.

You're amazing.

And I didn't mean to. I know you don't mean to, but... Who I am gets squished

under who you are, and... I don't want to get squished.

But Lex... I love you.

Isn't that the only thing that matters?

No.

Because if you really loved me, you'd want me to be me.

Seriously, I'm a manic pixie, a reckless unicorn, and the hottest fairy

godmother, all wrapped up in one awesome fourth packet.

Not when I'm with you.

How do they choose these contestants?

Oh, no, wait.

I know.

They round up the biggest pair with the smallest IQs.

If you're going to talk, can you at least talk to me?

Not over the TV?

Nope.

What's going on with you?

Nothing.

I'm fine.

Now look at me and say it.

Sometimes it seems like everyone has this perfect family with sharing and

and I wouldn't normally care but I guess

today I do.

I think the whole idea of a perfect family is bogus.

How come?

Families aren't perfect.

I grew up with my mum and auntie, and everyone at school was like, where's

Yeah, I got that question. So much fun.

Right?

Because I didn't need him around.

My mum didn't need him around.

And my auntie, she didn't like the father of our children either.

So we ended up living together, and it worked.

Mostly.

But, you know, families can be what you want it to be.

You can pick your people.

I like that idea.

I've missed talking to you.

I've missed you.

You were cruel to me.

I'd just broken up with Sam. It was complicated.

And we can't keep ignoring what we have forever.

I'm not ignoring it.

But, uh... Everything's about you, Satori.

Then why are you still here?

I don't want to make it a big thing when it's not.

Whatever.

Do what you have to do.

I don't care.

I choose you.

You woke me up.

Well, I don't choose you.

You're just some girl I kissed.

No.

No, this is not happening again.

Why not?

Because you broke it.

And you just snap your fingers and everything's fixed.

I might feel pathetic right now.

But I'm not pathetic.

Are you okay?

She broke up with Dale.

No, I'm okay.

You know how I get my happy tears? Well, these are that kind, not the sad kind.

Are you sure?

Because I've got restaurant leftovers if you want them.

Yeah.

I'm okay.

I feel like something's been lifted.

I feel like myself again.

Hate to say this, but, um, turns out I need a girl night.

I chose the film this time.

Why is everyone wearing sunglasses

and smoking?

Seriously, this would never happen in real life.

This is the part where someone dies.

We're electrically connected.

We're lighting our own way.

We've got this all together, no matter what they say.

No matter any storm, we'll ride it to the end to stay connected.
