Lem*nade Stand

From the random minds of Olivia and Becca, we bring you the further adventures of the fab five...and dedicate it to our girl Em from our sista site Giddy Up & Get Down! =)

Lance: Now if y'all will listen to me, we can have a flourishing business by noon! When I lived in Mississippi...

He's greeted with three sets of very annoyed eyes.

Joey: Can I eat a lemon? I'm starved!

Justin: No way, Joe! Them lemons is fo' tha fly hunnies that'll be comin' by ta see me.

Chris: They'll be coming by to have LEMONADE, Justin!

JC walks up, carrying a bag of sugar to the stand, and staring at it longingly.

Joey: So can I eat a lemon or what?

Lance: [throws a lemon at Joey's head] Alright, first we need to set up the stand, hence the "stand" part of lemonade stand.

Joey: [looks down] I AM standing!

Justin: Not THAT kinda stand, fool! Like a kissing booth... [nods] Awww yeah, I'd make MAD bank in a kissing booth!

Lance: [ignores Joey and Justin] Okay, Justin and JC, you guys start putting the stand together!

Justin: No way!

JC: Yeah, Lance, why don't YOU help?

Lance: I just got a manicure...you think I wanna break a nail?

Justin: [under his breath] Pansy...

Meanwhile, Joey is eating his fourth lemon by dipping it into the sugar.

Justin: I aint gonna sweat for this! I perspire...not sweat...

JC: And I wanted to paint the sign...

Lance: [exasperated] FINE! JC, go ahead and paint the sign... Chris and Joey, YOU start building the stand.

JC happily sets up his easel and takes up his paint palate. He puts on his pink beret and begins to paint, getting all fancy and modernistic. "Lem*nade 5 Cents"

Chris: [looking up at the sign JC made] That's not right.

JC: What's not right?

Chris: The price, man.

JC: Lance told me five cents...

Chris: It should be five bucks! It's special *Nsync Lemonade!

Lance: No, no, no!

Chris: Yes, yes, yes!

Joey: We could get more than that if we made Justin kiss all the customers before they get their lemonade.

Chris: That's the spirit, Joey!

Lance looks at his watch and immediately puts his troops to work. Chris is assigned to squeeze the lemons, JC is to add the sugar, and Joey [while trying not to eat anymore lemons] is to mix it all together. Justin is sent to the curb as bait...to attract customers.

Chris puts a bunch of lemons in one of those kiddy pools, and takes off his shoes.

Lance: What are you doing?

Chris: I'm gonna make lemon juice!

Lance: I have a juicer right here...

Chris: This is how the ancient cavemen used to make lemonade.

Justin: Yo, Chris...no one wants your stanky feet all up in their lemonade, fool!

Trace: [with bedazzler in hand] I'm heeeeere! Where's the sign I'm supposed to work on?

Chris: Um...it's in China, man.

Trace: Huh?

Chris: Why don't you bedazzle Justin's pants or something?

Justin: Yeah man! That would be cool!

Trace: But...what about the sign?

Chris: It's fabulous...good work! [pats his back]

JC: I DID THE SIGN!

Chris: [glares at JC] Shut up!

JC throws his pink beret at him. Trace picks it up and bedazzles it.

Chris: And you say I'm the crazy one... [shakes his head]

Lance: Get back to work! Y'all should have had at least 2 pitchers of pink lemonade by now.

Joey: It's supposed to be pink?

JC: So how are we supposed to make the lemonade pink?

Chris: I think Lance has some blush in the car.

Lance: [glaring at Chris] I brought some food coloring.

JC: Even better! [pulls a fist-full of red pixie sticks from his pocket and dumps them in the pitcher] There! Now it's pink!

Chris, JC and Joey continue to make the lemonade. Lance goes over the account books while Justin is trying to "charm" potential customers. Trace is bedazzling glasses, still bummed about not doing the sign. Eventually, Steve drops by to document the blessed event, with Wade to assist him with commentary in that demonic, yet sensual, voice of his.

Justin: Hey You! Yeah I'm talkin to you SASSY girls!

Becca: [drooling over Justin...literally] Are you for sale?

Olivia nudges her, and Becca slaps her hand over her mouth.

Emily: [laughs] What are you selling?

Chris: We're selling Joey...he's eating all of the lemons.

Olivia: Just Joey? [eyeing JC]

JC: [randomly yells] TWO STEP! [goes back to his business]

Lance: [giving Chris a dirty look] We are NOT selling Joey....but, can we interest you ladies in some freshly-squeezed lemonade?

Emily: Sure! [points to the ones Trace bedazzled] Can we get the pretty cups?

Lance: Yeah, but those will cost 50 cents extra.

The girls pay for their drinks, and Lance hands them each a glass.

Olivia: [makes a face and sticks out her tongue] This is just sugar water!

Lance: The lemon is extra.

Emily: What?! We paid extra for the sparkly cups too!

Lance: [slowly and sarcastically] The...lemon...is...extra!

Becca: Aw, HAIL NAW! Wait, are the lemons fresh squeezed? Or do we have to squeeze Joey to get some?

Chris: [laughs] She's got ya there.

Joey: [innocent look] I did leave one lemon for later... [holds it up]

Lance continues to antagonize the girls for the lemon. In protest, Olivia knocks all the cups and stuff off the table, then Becca and Emily knock down the stand. In retaliation, Lance tries to charge them for damages. Chris managed to salvage a pitcher of lemonade though, and tries to sell it. The girls, however, have other ideas.

Olivia: Can I just get JC instead?

Chris: [pushes JC toward Olivia] Sure! That'll be five bucks!

Becca: Is Justin for sale too?

Chris: [looks J up and down] You can have him for free...

Justin: SAY WHA?

Becca: You heard him cue ball...you're mine now!

Chris: [turns to Emily] And who would you like, miss?

Joey: Give her Lance...he's going cheap!

Justin: [grumbles] Not as cheap as me...

Becca: [smacks J in the back of the head] Shaddup, I got you fair and square!

Emily: How much are you goin' for cutie? [winks at Chris]

Chris: How much you offering?

Lance watches what's going on in disbelief.

JC: What's wrong Lance?

Lance: [mutters] Some lemonade stand...he better charge her enough to cover damages!

Chris: What's the offer?

Everyone looks at Emily expectantly.

Wade: [doing commentary for documentary] Now we wait for the moment of truth...

Becca: [looks up] Shaddup, Wade. And Steve, turn off that DAMN camera!

Wade: Sorry!

Steve: NEVER!

Becca: [rolls eyes] Now, as you were saying Emily?

Emily: [reaches in her pocket and counts her change] $5.75...

Chris: AMAZING! I'm on sale for the low low price of only $5.75!

Lance: [cries] NOOOOO!

Chris hands Lance the money, and walks off with Emily, Becca, Justin, Olivia and JC.

Joey: [turns to Lance] Wanna lemon?

Trace bedazzles a star on it.

Joey: Now it's a custom lemon. It'll cost you five bucks...

Olivia: [comes back and picks up JC's "art" and hands Joey five dollars for the lemon] Thanks. Can you autograph it?

Joey happily signs the lemon.

Olivia: Trace, can I get yours too? It IS a TraceThis original.

Trace signs it too, puffing his chest proudly that someone wants his autograph.

Lance: You people know NOTHING about business! [storms off]

Later that day, Lance walked by the art gallery and noticed JC's sign and Joey and Trace's lemon on display in the window. JC, Olivia, Emily, Chris, Becca, and Justin auctioned them off and got one million dollars for each piece!

Hey Lance...NOW who knows nothing about business?
