Previously on the Hills…

Lauren: (V.O.) Whitney’s new job was taking off.

Lisa: Normally we have 800 names, I’d like to see 1500.

Whitney: Okay.

Lauren: (V.O.) And she was getting more responsibility than ever. Heidi’s engagement got off to a rocky start.

Heidi: You can’t really be mad at me.

Spencer: I can’t?

Heidi: No.

Lauren: (V.O.) But she was determined to plan the perfect wedding. And with Jason back, I thought we could forget the past and start fresh. But Heidi and Spencer made sure that didn’t happen.

Spencer: It’s great to see you guys back together it’s heartwarming. 

Lauren: (V.O.) Now I had no idea what Jason thought was going on between us. But I was about to find out.

CUT TO: Restaurant

Lauren and Jason are sitting outside.

Lauren: So is this a new thing we’re doing? I need to know because I’m really thrown by the shirt.

Jason: No I don’t really have like so many clothes right now. I need to go shopping.

Lauren: Really?

Jason: I do.

Lauren: I have a ton of your clothes. (Laughs) By the way, thank you for all my workout t-shirts. (They both laugh)

Jason: Oh my god, you suck.

Lauren: (To waiter) Thank you.

Jason: Yeah but I do want you to meet my girlfriend. (Lauren looks shocked)

Lauren: Girlfriend? Really?

Jason: Yeah. She’s so cool so…

Lauren: What’s her name?

Jason: Katja. Yeah we’re gonna move in together. (Lauren looks shocked again)

Waiter: Bread course here. Homemade biscuits with uh, homemade butter. (Puts it on the table)

Jason & Lauren: (To waiter) Thank you. (To Lauren) But I want you to meet her. I’m…I wanna have like a housewarming party so…would you like to?

Lauren: I would love to be there.

CUT TO: Opening Credits

CUT TO: Hillside Villas

Audrina and Lauren are hanging out by the pool.

Lauren: I went to lunch with Jason yesterday.

Audrina: You did?

Lauren: Mm-hmm.

Audrina: How was that?

Lauren: It was good. It was kinda weird though. I guess he has a girlfriend who he’s like moving in with.

Audrina: What? That was fast.

Lauren: And like…it was just kind of like…’I have a girlfriend…and we’re moving in’. It’s like…Oh wow. I know. I thought that was kinda weird that he didn’t tell me. He wants me to meet her. He’s having a get together thing at his house.

Audrina: I’ll go with you.

Lauren: Will you really?

Audrina: Yeah.

Lauren: Okay thanks.

Audrina: We’re still going out tonight, right?

Lauren: Mm-hmm. Yeah Whitney’s coming too.

Audrina: Oh…that should be fun.

CUT TO: Teen Vogue Offices

Whitney is meeting with Lisa Love.

Lisa: So you’re going out on your first big photoshoot for the magazine. We’re shooting a band called red Jumpsuit Apparatus. This is a huge shoot. There’s five guys. And bands are notoriously difficult. If there is a problem, it’s your problem. It’s no one else’s problem anymore. Take the help that you’ll need. You’ll take uh, Lauren with you.

Whitney: Right.

Lisa: Make sure that everybody acts appropriately, all right?

Whitney: Okay, yeah, yeah. I can handle it.

Lisa: Good. You’d better handle it. (Laughs)

Whitney: I will. I have no choice really at this point, huh?

Lisa: Right. Uh huh. This is it.

Whitney: Yeah. Well great, thank you very much.

Lisa: Thanks. Bye.

Whitney: Bye. (Gets up and leaves)

CUT TO: Bridal Shop

Heidi is trying on a wedding dress and Jen is with her.

Jen: Are you excited?

Heidi: Um…yeah, I’m just looking. Are you excited for your dress?

Jen: Oh yeah. I can’t wait.

Heidi: (Points at a dress in the window) We should get you this one as a bridesmaid.

Jen: Mine’s gonna be Vera Wang (Heidi laughs as they go inside)

Heidi: Oh I can’t wait to show you this dress. (Jen is looking at dresses when Heidi comes out in her wedding dress.)

Jen: It’s so pretty. (The woman working there puts the veil on Heidi’s head)

Heidi: I really can’t believe I’m gonna be a bride soon. My heart is beating so fast.

Jen: How do you feel about it though?

Heidi: Excited but it’s…I mean it’s way…it’s…it makes it so real.

Jen: Is Spencer excited?

Heidi: He better be.

Jen: Do you like talk about it and think about it when you look in the mirror?

Heidi: Yeah

Jen: And you’re like ‘Wait…’Do you ever think maybe this isn’t right?

Heidi: I don’t think so.

Jen: Like I believe people fall in love but I think like at this age, it’s easy to fall out of love. That’s why I get scared.

Heidi: Obviously you’re not in the right mind frame but for me, it’s just…it’s different. Like I…I don’t wanna picture my life without him. Like I would feel like my soul mate’s gone.

Jen: I just try not to be naive about it. Like one of my best friends dated her boyfriend for five years, they just broke up so… (Heidi looks at her reflection in the wedding dress)

CUT TO: Magic Castle Hotel

Whitney and Lauren get out of the car and head inside to meet with the band for the photo shoot.

Lauren: Okay so we just have to try these on and write down their sizes, right?

Whitney: Yeah. And then just take pictures of them in it. (They walk inside)

Lauren: That’s easy enough.

Whitney: That is easy.

Guy: Well, I’ll have to check my schedule but… (Lauren laughs. Cuts to Lauren & Whitney leaving the hotel)

Lauren: That will be fun to go out with them tonight.

Whitney: How about a red headed slut?

Lauren: Oh I like red headed sluts. Have you ever had a red headed slut?

Guy: (Nods) A few. I’m just hoping that you guys will do at least one shot with us.

Lauren: (To Whitney) Just take one.

Whitney: I’ll take one.

Guy # 3: All right.

Whitney: I hope I don’t get wasted! (It cuts to them with the shots. They all do cheers before drinking them)

Lauren: (Makes a face after taking the shot) Ugh! (Audrina plugs her nose because of the taste of it)

Audrina: (Smells it) Oh god! (Lauren sticks her tongue out in disgust)

Guy # 3: So do you guys have plans after this? Or is this about the end of the night?

Whitney: You guys have the photo shoot tomorrow like we actually have to work it and be there pretty early.

CUT TO: The Next Day – Hillside Villas

Audrina is writing in a notepad when Lauren comes in.

Audrina: Good morning.

Lauren: Good morning.

Audrina: You look tired. I can’t believe you got up so early today. It was hard enough for me to get up.

Lauren: Uh…I know. (Sits on the couch) I just hope the band isn’t late because we kept them out.

Audrina: Hopefully not. Otherwise you’re gonna get the rap for it.

Lauren: I’m not gonna get the rap. I’m not the boss.

Audrina: Whitney will.

Lauren: Mm… (Yawns)

Audrina: You look so tired.

Lauren: I am tired.

Audrina: You need like a power nap when you get home from work.

Lauren: I don’t have time for a power nap.

Audrina: Oh wait. We have Jason’s thing tonight. Do you think it’s gonna be awkward?

Lauren: It’s always weird meeting your boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend.

Audrina: Well and she knows you guys were together for a long time, you lived together so…

Lauren: I mean I’m gonna try to be really nice to her but I just feel like…

Audrina: I can’t believe they’re moving in together already.

CUT TO: Santa Monica Airport – It is the Red Jumpsuit Photoshoot – It is 9:15 am when Lauren and Whitney arrive.

Lauren: This is not gonna be fun.

Whitney: I know. My head is killing me.

Lauren: I just really don’t want to throw up. (Cuts to them unpacking stuff) Where’s the band?

Whitney: I don’t know. They promised they’d be here on time. I hope we don’t get in trouble for keeping them out late. (One the stylists, Lara is near Whitney as they’re at the racks looking at the clothes)

Lara: Hey, they’re running a little late?

Whitney: Yeah I don’t know. (Shows Lauren steaming clothes) Maybe they had car trouble. (It cuts to the time of 10:45 am at the shoot. The band is just arriving)

Guy: There you go guys. We’re here.

Whitney: Oh thank God they’re here. (The band gets out of the car, getting their stuff. Lara hugs one of them. Someone moves a plane for the shoot)

Lauren: (To Whitney) Do you need me todo anything boss man?

Whitney: So I’m gonna have you go look at the 32’s in this style Lauren and then once you find them,  steam them and come back.

Lauren: (Walking away) Aye, aye.

Whitney: And I will take care of … (Goes up to one of the band members) Oh you. Okay.

Guy: What are you trying to do? Why are you holding the jeans?

Whitney: They want you to change your jeans.

Guy: No way, sorry.

Whitney: Really?

Guy: I really like these a lot.

Whitney: These are really nice though. And they’re small, they’re really small.

Guy: I know but I don’t like them ‘cause they’re not mine. I really just like these a lot. (Whitney looks at everyone, not really sure what to do) Sorry. (Whitney walks away with the other jeans in hand)

Lauren: (Cuts to them watching the shoot) You have to meet with Lisa tomorrow.

Whitney: I know. She’ll be like ‘Whitney, you do not have a future in this…’ Exactly like that. ‘You do not…you do not have a future’.

CUT TO: The Street

Heidi & Spencer are walking to a store to go register for the wedding.

Heidi: Are you so excited to go register?

Spencer: So excited to go register. Woo!

Heidi: (Cuts to them in a store looking at china) Look china! This is china.

Spencer: (Holding a plate) This is uh, what you are so excited for? (Heidi holds a machine up to it and it beeps)

Heidi: That’s gonna be an expensive one. (They go look at glasses) Glasses! We’re gonna need glasses! (She uses the machine again)

Spencer: We have enough glasses.

Heidi: Well what do you want? You wanna register at Blockbuster?

Spencer: (Laughs) Yeah.

Heidi: Not happening.

Spencer: (As they walks to look at more stuff) Woo! What do you want? You want some more of these? I bet you do.

Heidi: (Looking at silver bowels) Oh I’ve always wanted one of these. (She uses the machine again)

Spencer: That’s a dangerous thing for you to have.

Heidi: Are you just over this registering thing? (Uses the machine again) You don’t wanna do this?

Spencer: I don’t know what we really need, from anybody. We have everything we need.

Heidi: But you’re the one who asked me to marry you and you don’t even seem like you’re into any of this.

Spencer: I just think it’s silly to make people buy us a bunch of stuff that we’re not gonna use. Oh now you’re all sad.

Heidi: We’ll resume this on a different day.

CUT TO: That Night – Jason’s Apartment

Jason: (To someone) It’s good seeing you, seriously. I’m happy you came. (Lauren and Audrina walk in)

Jason: How are you? (Jason pulls her close to him, putting his arm around her) Lauren.

Lauren: Yeah.

Jason: Want a drink? (Hands her a cup, she takes it and smells it. Jason and Katja have moved away from Lauren. Jason kisses her again. Lauren drinks from her cup. Closes up to Jason and Katja as they kiss a few times. Jason goes over to Lauren, which Katja and her friends notice and don’t look too happy about. He touches Lauren’s shoulder) You okay?

Lauren: Mm-hmm. (He moves away from Lauren)

Girl: What was that?

Katja: This is so stupid.

Girl: Shut up!

Brandon: (Everyone quiets down as Brandon, Jason’s friend speaks) We’ve got something to say. Uh, well, some of our best friends in the house right now just got engaged. Jason and Katja (holds up his cup and everyone else follows) this is to you. (Everyone cheers. Lauren looks at Audrina, like she can’t believe what she’s hearing. People do cheers with Jason. Lauren holds up her cup, not looking too happy)

Guy: Congratulations.

Jason: Good seeing you guys.

Katja: We love you guys.

Lauren: Is it bad that I really wanna leave? (Cuts to Jason and Katja who are laughing and smiling then cuts back to Lauren who looks miserable) I need air. (Lauren goes outside, which Jason notices. He goes outside to talk to her. Cuts to outside. Lauren is sitting down, and then it cuts to inside where Katja notices Jason left. Cuts to outside again. Jason is smoking a cigarette, sitting down, with Lauren sitting next to him)

Jason: What…what’s…what’s the face for?

Lauren: Nothing I’m just keeping it to myself.

Jason: I know you don’t like her but…

Lauren: I think you’re being an idiot but that’s your decision.

Jason: What do you mean by that?

Lauren: Why would you get engaged? You’re twenty years old.

Jason: You’ve known me for so long. This is like how I’ve been. I’ve always liked to be in a relationship and I finally like…I meet someone I really care about.

Lauren: Why are you in such a hurry?

Jason: When I talked to you, your parents got married like twenty years old.

Lauren: They dated for six years before.

Jason: They were like high school sweethearts.

Lauren: You didn’t know her in high school. You were dating her for like four months.

Jason: Seven months. (Lauren gives him a look and he raises his eyebrows at her)

Lauren: You’re a big liar.

Jason: Six months and some odd days. I mean…

Lauren: Well…

Jason: I just thought you would be happy for me.

Lauren: You really want me to be happy for you? (Katja comes outside)

Katja: Hi baby. (Sits next to Jason)

Jason: Hi.

Katja: Having fun baby?

Jason: Yeah I’m chilling. (Katja moves in front of Jason and he puts his arm around her and they both look at Lauren, who looks uncomfortable) (To Lauren) You okay?

Lauren: (Holds up her cup) Congratulations.

CUT TO: The Next Day – Teen Vogue Offices

Whitney is in Lisa’s office.

Lisa: Whitney, we need to talk about the photo shoot.

Whitney: I thought I did okay.

Lisa: You ran the set? Did the call sheet?

Whitney: I tried, yeah. I did everything that you asked.

Lisa: And diva moments or…?

Whitney: Um, there was one point where one of them didn’t really want to take off this pair of pants he was wearing but…

Lisa: What did you do?

Whitney: I…I mean I told him I understood. We had all gone out the night before. It was our way of getting to know them.

Lisa: That’s beyond your job.

Whitney: Going out with them is beyond my job?

Lisa: Yeah…yes. You don’t do that.

Whitney: We wanted to entertain them, make them feel comfortable because they’re only in LA for a certain amount of time.

Lisa: They were late because they were out the night before or they were late because the car didn’t pick them up on time?

Whitney: I don’t know the details of why they were late, I just know…

Lisa: I just want respect on every shoot that we do and it’s very hard for them to respect you if you’ve been out the night before.

Whitney: Okay. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for it to be inappropriate.

Lisa: No, no. You just need to step it up now. As I said before, if something goes wrong on the shoot, it’s your fault.

Whitney: (Nods) Okay.

Lisa: It’s your responsibility. You need to be the boss. (Whitney nods)

CUT TO: Breadbar Restaurant

Spencer and Heidi are eating outside. Spencer pulls out Heidi chair for her.

Spencer: Here you go princess.

Heidi: Oh thank you.

Spencer: Let me get this for you. (She sits down)

Heidi: Thanks. (Spencer sits down)

Spencer: So what do you wanna ask me about the wedding?

Heidi: I was thinking maybe fall? Or should we do it in the spring? Or…?

Spencer: I think we need to look at some calendars.

Heidi: I have a great church picked out.

Spencer: I think we go to Tibet.

Heidi: We’re not going to Tibet. We’re not gonna fly our whole families to Tibet.

Spencer: Why do we have to have our whole families there? I thought we were eloping.

Heidi: I want the wedding. We need to register and I want the dress and…you know. Marriage…this is what a little girl dreams of. I mean, do you think your parents wouldn’t mind if they weren’t even there for the actual wedding?

Spencer: I haven’t really spoken to my parents too much about me getting married.

Heidi: You haven’t told your parents that we’re getting married? I can’t believe you haven’t told you parents. Why? Are you embarrassed? You don’t wanna tell them?

Spencer: Embarrassed? Why would I be embarrassed?

Heidi: Why wouldn’t you tell them? (They just sit there, not saying anything but Heidi definitely does not look happy)

CUT TO: Teen Vogue Offices

Lauren and Whitney are walking to go eat.

Whitney: So basically I just got a nice little ass whooping (Lauren laughs) from Lisa.

Lauren: Really?

Whitney: It was not really good. So I think the jest is I’ll just have to do a better job next time. (They sit down at a table outside a restaurant) So…you seem a little dazed.

Lauren: I’m a bit out of it today.

Whitney: What’s going on?

Lauren: We had Jason’s party last night that we went to.

Whitney: Oh, you met his girlfriend, right?

Lauren: Well I met his fiancé.  

Whitney: Fiancé?

Lauren: They just got engaged.

Whitney: Oh my god. I can’t believe that.

Lauren: It was weird.

Whitney: Of course it’s weird. You just dated him a year ago and then all of a sudden he was a fiancé? Like that is so strange.

Lauren: It’s not even…no it’s not even weird in that way. It’s just like…I think I just like have an idea in my head of how I want my like party where I announce my engagement to be. 

Whitney: Yeah?

Lauren: And it…

Whitney: And it didn’t look like that?

Lauren: And it didn’t include a kegger, a Bob Marley poster, you know what I mean?

Whitney: Oh my god. (She laughs)

Lauren: Like it was really like…it was difficult to take it seriously. You know the program he’s in, he’s not even supposed to be dating anyone and like…I just don’t wanna be the one to pick up the pieces again.

Whitney: And you won’t. Don’t let yourself be that person. You know, like maybe the best thing is not talk to him for awhile and let him fall down and let him pick himself back up.

Lauren: Yeah but I’ve seen him fall down. He falls hard. There was a point where I was there last night, kind of like looking around. It really just hit me all at once. I was like ‘This could have been me’. And as much as I love Jason, I’m so glad it’s not. (It cuts to them walking back to Teen Vogue then to an air view of LA)
