Her Dad: Yeah, especially since it scared your mom so much. I dont know when the last time she let me put my arm around her. *smiles*
Demis Mom: *rolls eyes* I wasnt really scared I was just being nice.
Demi: Suure mom, thats why you also screamed.
Mom: *indignantly* I did not scream!
Dad: Coulda fooled us. But for your sake well call it a whimper.
Mom: THanks you guys. *tries to look mad but cant hide her smile*
Demi: *looks at both of them* I Love you guys.

Demi: What is it?
Mom: *looks worried* Nothing...
Dad: Just some kid goofing off probably...

Selena: Id Better Go Demi. Call me ok? *she gets up and walks out the room*
Demi: *snaps out of her flashback and wipes a tear away* Mom.. *She stands their day dreaming for a little while. Finally she notices someone standing in front of her. She stares at him blankly for a few seconds*
Joe: *smiles amused* Bad business today?
Demi: *looks down at her open guitar case, seeing theres only a buck in there* Uh.. yeah kinda.
Joe: Hmm, Well my advice would be to play the guitar.
Demi: *realizes she had just been standing there. She sheepishly looks up at him and says* Oh, right. Any requests?
Joe: *shrugs* Ive heard you play before. Anything you play is good.
Demi: *smiles* Thanks. *starts playing a random tune, looking at him closer* Hey, do I know you? You look sort of familier.
Joe: *looks up at her quickly and then down at the ground* Um, I dont think so.
Demi: Oh, ok.
Joe: *thinking* Good, she doesnt remember. *he listens to her playing for a while*

Joe: *sees Demi and smiles, waving*
Demi: *waves back*
Joe: *watches Demi, until he sees her crossing the street and going into the house across from his. He laughs as she waves at him again from across the street, and then she goes into her house*
