[At an award ceremony]

Announcer: The winners of the Youth Fashion CEOs are, Ali Lamal and Canary Anderson; owners of AliNary Industries.

Canary: Thank you all so much for this award. Ali and I are very grateful.

[Later that evening, some news reporters surround them]

Reporter 1: Excuse me, Miss Anderson, who’s the brains behind AliNary Industries?

Canary: I am, it’s quite a story – [She starts excitedly and gets cut off]

Reporter 2: So, who came up with the idea for the glitter poncho. A lot of people hated it, which caused the ratings to decline drastically. However, that beautiful silk peacock dress came to the rescue.

Ali: Actually, I made the glitter poncho, and it wasn’t that bad, neither did it drop the ratings.

Canary: Ali, that was what sent the ratings down. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to upset you, sorry.

Reporter 2: So, Ali almost destroyed the company’s reputation?

Canary: No! That’s not it at all, -

Reporter 1: Yeah, he’s useless. He’s just gonna destroy the company.

Reporter 2: You might as well call it Nary Industries. [snickers]

[Ali walks away without anyone noticing as the reporters keep asking questions. Ali is walking out of the building as Canary tries to catch up with him].

Canary: Ali! Wait, don’t listen to those reporters, ok. [She says sympathetically]

Ali: Just leave me alone! [He shouts at her with a disgusted look on his face]. Look at you; you are holding the award and getting all the praise. Your designs keep the company standing and I don’t even give you coffee. I just follow you around like a lost puppy and you keep gloating.

Canary: I wasn’t gloating idiot! [She blurts out]. I was trying to save your sorry butt, but I guess you’re too insecure to realize it.

[As they argue, a famous fashion designer approaches them]

Harrison Claye: Excuse me.

Ali: What!! [He screams angrily].

Harrison: Well, that’s some attitude. [He says taken aback].

Canary: Wait are you – [Her eyes widen with unbelief].

Harrison: Harrison Claye? Yes. I am. I want to employ you.

Ali: Really? You want AliNary Industries? [He asks hopefully]

Harrison: Ha! Ha! Ha! [He laughs humorlessly]. You’re a funny guy with an attitude. I just want the Nary part, that is well Canary. [He turns to look at Canary]

Ali and Canary: What?! [They both scream shocked at the revelation].

Canary: It’s an honor but –

Ali: Of course, you’re going to gloat again.

Canary: I’m not.

Harrison: It’s because I heard what the reporters were saying. So, what do you say Nary?

Canary: N-

Ali: This is all your fault, Nary! Now, I can’t get a job.

Canary: How is it my fault you’re insecure?

Ali: If you hadn’t told the reporters that I made that stupid poncho may –

Canary: No! No! No! Do not put that on me. You told them that because you thought it was so good that it would steal the spotlight.

Ali: I hate you.

Canary: Well, you know what? I hate you too. Our partnership ends here. You can take your damn a$$ glitter poncho with you too. Harrison!

Harrison: Yeah?!

Canary: I accept your offer.

Ali: Consider me your enemy from now on, Nary. I will make my own company and be better than you.

Canary: I’d like to see you try.

Ali: You’re on.

Canary: Fine!

Ali: Fine!

[They all quiet down for a few minutes].

Harrison: Ok; now that that’s over… Welcome to Sparkle Industries, Canary.

[Ali gets into his limo and drives off]
