Are you scared or excited?

How would I be either?

Because your transformation is next, silly.

You really should eat something.

You're supposed to carbo-load the whole week before.

Yeah, I guess.

I'm just not hungry.

Aren't you worried that Ty will lose interest?

No.

Hey, you.

Art class tonight?

Um, I have that pre-calc test.

Oh. You know you don't have to do anything but prepare right now.

My mom took a whole week off. Yeah, I know. I just, um, I don't want to fall

behind. Look, I'm freaking out too.

Really? Really.

I'd never want to do anything to hurt you.

I don't know if I'm ready.

I just wish it wasn't so messy.

Bodies are so gross.

No, they're not. They're beautiful.

You're beautiful.

Don't you ever just wish you were like a brain in a jar?

Something simple like a robot?

It's gonna be okay.

You trust me?

Yeah.

You're probably right.

Okay. I just... I can't stay out too late.

I'll get you home before bedtime.

See you tonight.

Love you.

Love you too.

Let's all give a round of applause to Elle Peterson.

Her transformation will commence tomorrow evening.

Thank you, Elle. You may be seated.

Now, as we know, this day will come for every girl.

It will come for all of you in this room, where the caterpillar transforms

into the butterfly.

It truly is the greatest gift you have to give.

All worthwhile new experiences can be scary at first, but if you give yourself

to it, to your purpose, if you master your fear, then you will find after the

initial shock, the initial discomfort, that you have opened the door for new

suffering.

Okay, turn to page 45. We'll discuss pain management.

Hey, little lady.

You all finished your homework?

Mm-hmm.

I brought you your favorite.

My sweet cherry pie for my sweet cherry pie.

Wow. That brings back memories.

I remember your mom's kit.

She had some Kleenex in it and lipstick, and that was about it.

Your mom in a nutshell.

I wish she was here to walk you through it.

Although that really didn't help your sister.

I don't want to talk about them.

Even so, I know they're proud of you.

Looking down, you've become such a beautiful young woman.

He won't know what he's doing at first.

Be too rough.

But bear with it. He has to learn somehow.

Be encouraging. Even if it doesn't feel the way that you thought that it would,

he's going to want you to want it.

It's not going to last long. It never does.

You might feel emotional afterwards, but that's natural.

Just remember, every woman has been in your shoes.

Now, have some pie.

Too thin, gotta fatten you up.

I'm not hungry.

You're always hungry for pie.

Eat it.

What's wrong?

Aren't you excited?

Yeah, of course.

It's just... Have you ever met anyone that's not?

Not what?

Not done it.

Why would somebody not do it?

I don't know. All kinds of reasons.

Do you know how many girls would kill to be in your position?

To have it with a boy that truly loves you? I hope I'm as lucky as you. I've

never even had a boyfriend.

Seriously?

Ungrateful much?

Thank you all.

Ready?

I hope you like the playlist.

Ready?

Uh, I don't know.

I don't think so.

Okay.

Um... We could always listen to the playlist first. Or, like, talk for a

bit. I won't let what happened to your sister happen to you.

We can always just tell them that. No, we can't do that.

They'll think that it was me.

I couldn't...

You

don't love me.

Is that it?

You don't trust me?

No, it's not that.

Everybody gets scared.

Everybody.

Everybody does it.

Okay. I'll be gentle.

Just go with it.

This is a special night.

People dream about this.

Or somebody's dream.
