#theLIFEATL🍑 S4 | EP 4 | Hello Tokyo

The scene opens up outside of the airport hangar where the cast is going to meet to depart for Tokyo on Mario Porter’s private jet. The camera follows a black luxury SUV as it drives along the tarmac and slowly rolls to a stop inside of the hangar. After shutting off the engine, the driver gets out before making his way around to the back passenger side and opening the door. The first to emerge from the vehicle is Paris, who is dressed comfortably in a tan colored, oversized hoodie, matching sweatpants, brown satin Christian Louboutin Tennis Shoes, a long black faux fur coat, and oversized black Square sunglasses with ombré lenses. He yawns and stretches before hopping up and down excitedly as he surveys the luxurious private jet before him.



PARIS ALEKSANDER: I am SO excited for this trip to Tokyo. I was able to smooth things over from the other night via text with Skye, so we’re good. Dax and I worked things out at my place last night and decided to head to the airport hangar together where Mario’s absolute BEAUTY of a jet is waiting to carry us allllll the way to Tokyo in style. Thank gawwwd too, because apparently we’ll be flying with everyone else which defeats the point of flying private if the riff raff will be there anyway, but I digress. I actually get along with most everyone with a few exceptions, meaning Benny, Adyn, and Chase. This is going to be the first time I’ve seen any of them since Dax & Skye’s housewarming party, and I’m not really on speaking terms with either of them. So, if I absolutely have to coexist on a 14 hour flight with those people…I’m glad I get to do it wrapped in comfort and luxury!

Cutting back to the hangar, Paris is supervising as luggage handlers begin unloading the luggage from the back of the SUV, and onto the plane.

PARIS ALEKSANDER:please be careful with those! They’re Louis Vuitton!

A blacked out Cadillac truck is shown pulling up behind the suv that Paris is standing beside and inside the Cadillac Chase and Adyn are shown arriving, inside the look on Adyn’s face says it all, he’s already annoyed that the first person he sees arriving at the airport is Paris.



ADYN RICHIE: Listen, I’m all for this trip to Tokyo, the last time I went was when I was a child and honestly I don’t remember much, I just remember the plane ride being super long and I couldn’t understand a word of their language but this time around I plan on enjoying my time there, I’m older and I got money to play with so I’m sure this will be fun anyway. The only thing I’m concerned about is Paris, now I knew he was coming on this trip and trust me I wasn’t too happy about it but I wasn’t about to let this fool ruin my time in Tokyo, no sir not at all.

The scene cuts to Chase confessional.



CHASE LIU: Ugh I haven’t even made it on the plane yet and I’m already annoyed, Paris being allowed on this trip is so ghetto and I don’t have the time for it, but you know what it doesn’t matter, we’re going to Tokyo bitch and I wasn’t about to let this miserable hating ass queen mess my trip up.

The scene cuts back to Adyn and Chase both hopping out of the Cadillac, Adyn reaches for his luggage while Chase waits for the driver to grab his. Adyn and Paris both lock eyes but no word is said between the two.

ADYN RICHIE: Well this is awkward.

Adyn turns and looks at Chase.

ADYN RICHIE: I wonder when the rest of the group is going to get here.

Paris looks from Adyn to Chase and then takes out his phone. He idly takes a selfie, somewhat ignoring them.



PARIS ALEKSANDER:the universe is super fucking funny, bro. Like of course, two out of the three people I was least looking forward to interacting on this trip are the first ones to arrive.

Paris rolls his eyes.

PRODUCER: Why don’t you get along with them anyway?

PARIS ALEKSANDER:Wellllll, here’s some tea. Are you ready for it? Nobody else knows this but outside of the show before I was even cast, a while back, I was hooking up with this one guy. Come to find out, he may or may not have been dating Chase at the time.

PRODUCER: may or may not?

PARIS ALEKSANDER:Look, all I know is that the dude I was hooking up with never once said anything about Chase. But of course, word got around and of course Chase directed his anger at me instead of the dude who wasn’t even trying to claim him in the first place.

Paris shrugs.

PARIS ALEKSANDER:As far as Adyn…he and I just never vibed from the start, ever since my first season which by now we all know was scrapped. Honestly I just figured Chase got in his head. But we never clicked and it just is what it is…however, since we are gonna be on this long ass flight together…I figured that it might be best to kind of come to an understanding. Chase and I probably will never get along, but maybe there’s hope for Adyn.

The scene cuts back to the hangar. Paris sighs deeply, before tucking his phone in the pocket of his fur coat and strolling up to Chase & Adyn mid conversation.

PARIS ALEKSANDER:Hey, Adyn…can we talk for a second? Umm…alone?

Paris shoots Chase a very quick look before his eyes go back to Adyn.



ADYN RICHIE: Ummm…

Adyn rolls his eyes.

ADYN RICHIE: I really don’t have anything to say to this boy, like what in the hell does he want with me?

The scene cuts back to the three, Chase just ignores Paris like he isn’t there. Adyn pauses for a few seconds before answering.

ADYN RICHIE: I guess if it's necessary.

Both Paris and Adyn walk off towards the side leaving Chase standing alone with the luggage, but not for long another car pulls up to the hangar and inside Miles and North are shown. North thanks the driver as he grabs her luggage and Miles rushes over to Chase trying to get the tea with Adyn and Paris.

MILES BALENCIAGA: Chile what is going on?

CHASE LIU: I’m sure your nosey ass will find out, but I don’t know what's going on at all, Paris just randomly walked up to us and asked if he could talk to Adyn alone.

MILES BALENCIAGA: That's weird, I thought those two hated each other but maybe they're trying to play nice on the trip, I mean it is Tokyo chile, we don’t have the time for the foolishness from you heffas.

North joins Miles and Chase.

NORTH WYNTERS: Hey guys.

The scene cuts to Adyn and Paris.

ADYN RICHIE: I’m here, what’s up?

Paris glances over his shoulder as he spots North arriving…with Miles.



PARIS ALEKSANDER:Correction. Four people I don’t fuck with.

He rolls his eyes as the scene cuts back to him and Adyn.

PARIS ALEKSANDER:Look I’m just gonna be real with you. I know we have some little petty beef or whatever because of shit that went on the last time I tried filming with this group. But to be honest? It’s kind of lame. I mean, can you even remember why we don’t like each other in the first place? Because I don’t. All I know is one minute we’re cool, you even tried to set me up with your friend Sean…and the next thing I know, you’re throwing shade my way at every turn. Like what exactly is the problem?

Adyn stands there for a second, he looks over at Chase who is staring at him hard and he glances back at Paris.

ADYN RICHIE: Well if you're going to be real then I suggest you keep it all the way real. Your not innocent in this situation at all, not only did you do some fucked up shit to my bestie Chase but I see and hear the slick shit out of your mouth about him and me. I’m sure you’ll ride for your friend just as much as I ride for mine so before you fix anything with me, maybe you should try fixing the issues you have with Chase.

Adyn shrugs.



ADYN RICHIE: Even though that whole situation isn’t my battle, I feel like I would betray Chase if I didn’t stand by his side. I really wanted to go to Tokyo and not have any drama so squashing this little beef with Paris wouldn’t be a bad idea, hell we don’t have to be friends but we can at least be cordial.

The scene cuts back to Adyn & Paris. Paris glances over at Chase too, but briefly, before looking down at his phone to check the time and then looks back up at Adyn.

PARIS ALEKSANDER:If I’ve ever said anything about you guys which I’m sure I have, it was only because I was being defensive after feeling y’all’s cold shoulder. I mean you guys haven’t exactly been welcoming. The situation with Chase, as far as I’m concerned, has nothing to do with me. If he wants to be mad at anyone, it should be the guy who was lying to him…not the one who didn’t even know they were a thing. It’s not like I actively was seeking out a guy Chase was dating. I mean, you know I’ve never had an issue getting dick. I don’t need to fuck with guys who are in relationships. But I get it…that’s your friend. You’re right, I would do the same thing if the roles were reversed. I’m all here for smoothing things over with Chase but I have a feeling he’s not gonna be receptive to me at all unless maybe you can put in a good word with him to at least let me explain my side of things.



PARIS ALEKSANDER:Do I think Chase is gonna wanna hear my side of things? And that’s a hell to the no. He wants to blame me for whatever happened with his guy but the fact is if he wasn’t fucking me, he would have been fucking somebody else and most likely was!

The scene cuts back to the two.

ADYN RICHIE: Look, that's water under the bridge and I’m over it, I’ll holla at Chase and see where his head is at and then go from there. But as for me and you, we’re good.

PARIS ALEKSANDER:Okay cool, thanks for hearing me out. I appreciate it. Now let’s get on this long ass flight.

Paris chuckles and pats Adyn on the shoulder before heading back to the rest of the group.

Dax, Skye, and Ryan step out of the luxury SUV. Dax has a carryon bag, as does Ryan. The driver begins unloading the luggage which mostly seems to be Skye's and Paris’s. Dax rocks on his heels as he looks over to see Paris and Adyn finishing up their conversation. He then looks over to see Chase, Miles, and North standing to the side talking. He leans in to Skye and cups his hand around his mouth to say one simple word.

DAX BECKETT: Awkwarrrrrrrrd…

Skye nods her head as she can feel all of the tension in the hangar. Ryan looks confused.

RYAN HOLLERAN: I get the stuff with Miles, but what's the beef with everyone else?

DAX BECKETT: There's no other beef really. It's just that some of these guys and Paris have butted heads. And after the sex tape leaked in front of some of them, it's just a little… weird. I mean, I've chilled with Chase before, and there was Adyn’s birthday party, but I don't really know anyone else.

SKYE DEVEREUX: Honey, this sounds like a chance to go meet some new friends. You don't have to if you're too scared, but I'm going over.

Skye walks over to Chase, Miles, and North with a friendly smile on her face. She casually works her way into the group.

SKYE DEVEREUX: Hey y'all. I am Skye Devereux. It's so nice to officially meet you guys.

Miles looks Skye up and down.

MILES BALENCIAGA: Girl I know who you are, I’ve talked about you on my show plenty of times.

SKYE DEVEREUX: That you have. But it's nice to meet you face to face. All of you.

CHASE LIU: It’s nice to meet you also.

North just gives off a smile and wave. Skye nods back to North as she returns to Dax and Ryan. Dax shrugs his shoulders as Skye just sighs.

SKYE DEVEREUX: I tried. At least I can say that much.

DAX BECKETT: I just knew better already. But it's good that you learned. Learning nurtures growth.

Moments later another Black car is shown pulling up to the group. As it comes to a stop. Trinity, Devaughn, Dallas, and Malachi are shown getting out.



DALLAS REED: The day is here baby! We're going to Tokyo! I'm mad excited. I've never been this far away from home.. and I ain't been on a plane for that long. I'm a lil nervous but it's gonna be worth it. Of course I had to roll up with the squad. This is my first time officially meeting De'Vaughn time. Seems like he really makes my girl happy and that makes me happy.

The scene returns to the group.

TRINITY MONROE: Hey guys!

DALLAS REED: What's good yall!

MALACHI SNOWDEN: Chile I do not want to get on this plane, but hey y’all.

Adyn and Paris join the remainder of the group.

ADYN RICHIE: So is that everyone?

MALACHI SNOWDEN: Chile no, we are missing Hector, Diamond, Alexis, Asani, Mario, and I also invited someone else.

DALLAS REED: Someone else who?

The group gives Malachi a confused look wondering who he was talking about, a black Infiniti QR pulls up to the hangar and inside is Jalen Holmes and his “friend” Quan sitting inside. Jalen has head leaning against Quan’s shoulder. Quan takes his hand and runs his fingers through the top of Jalen’s head.



JALEN HOLMES: Heeeeey y’all, I know everyone is probably wondering what the hell I’m doing here. The last time everyone saw me I was packing my bags and leaving my relationship and Atlanta behind and moving to London and no, I haven’t moved back to Atlanta but I still have friends and family here so I do still come and visit. This trip was going to be a little longer than I expected and when Malachi hit me up and said he was going to Tokyo, I couldn’t say no.

Jalen smiles.

JALEN HOLMES: When I moved to London, I decided to end my relationship with Dallas, it was nothing personal but we wanted different things in life and when I invited Dallas to move to London with me, he said no. That crushed me!

Jalen looks down, he shakes his head and looks back at the camera.

JALEN HOLMES: But there was no way I was going to turn down this opportunity to work and live in London so I did what I had to do. While in London I met a guy who I fell deeply in love with, I know it’s going to be awkward bringing Quan on the trip and honestly I haven’t seen or talked to Dallas since we broke up over text message, but this is going to be a surprise to everyone because Malachi doesn’t know I’m bringing Quan, and I don’t know if he told everyone else I was coming. Oh well, this trip is my getaway and really get an opportunity to get closer to Quan.

Jalen shrugs as the scene cuts back to the hangar, Quan steps out and walks around to Jalen’s side, Quan opens the door and Jalen steps out. Some were happy to see Jalen while others looked on with confusion wondering why he was there and who he was.

JALEN HOLMES: Hey y’all.

Jalen walks up to Malachi and gives him a hug.

JALEN HOLMES: Malachi, thanks again for inviting me. I hope you don’t mind that I brought my friend with me.

Malachi looks Quan up and down.

MALACHI SNOWDEN: Messy messy Chile, but that’s cute. What’s your name?

Quan walks up to Malachi and introduces himself, the two embrace each other.

MALACHI SNOWDEN: It’s nice to meet you Malachi, everyone this is Jalen and his friend Quan, some of us know Jalen and others don’t, but this is who I was talking about when I said I invited someone else. Now I didn’t know Quan was joining us but hey the more the merrier right!

Malachi chuckles nervously.



MALACHI SNOWDEN: I really hope Dallas doesn’t get mad at me, I only kept Jalen coming from him because I figured he wouldn’t go on the trip. But I did not know that Jalen was bringing a date.

Malachi shakes his head and the scene cuts back to the group. Dallas just looks around Malachi with a look of disappointment.

DALLAS REED: Are you serious friend?

Dallas shakes his head.



DALLAS REED: For what yo!? Like why is this nigga even here. Mal real foul for this shit. He knew I wouldn't have come had I known he was on the guest list. And then got a whole dude with him. Imma have to have a real talk with Mal about this. Cuz this is looking a lot like messy Mal that we all thought we left back in season 1.

He rolls his eyes as the scene returns to the group. There is clear tension in the air. De'Vaughn breaks the silence.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: Am I missing something? Why did shit get so awkward all of a sudden?

Trinity leans over and whispers to De'Vaughn.

TRINITY MONROE: That's his ex.

Paris giggles to himself.

PARIS ALEKSANDER:Messyyyyyyyy



TRINITY MONROE: Chiiiiiiiiile!

Trinity shakes her head before taking a sip of her wine.

TRINITY MONROE: This is messy boots! We all saw how their relationship ended. I just wanna know why my bitch thought this would be cute. I love my baby. But this here… this ain't it honey.

She shakes her head as the scene returns to the group. Dallas chooses to continue not acknowledging Jalen or his "friend", but instead focuses his attention on his own friend.

DALLAS REED: You know this is mad foul.

Malachi stands there speechless, he can tell that his good friend Dallas was upset with him.

MALACHI SNOWDEN: Ok this is not how I expected the trip to go but it’s happening and there's nothing I can do about it now.

Jalen walks over to Malachi standing near him and Dallas, Dallas walks away heading towards Adyn and Paris.

JALEN HOLMES: Look I don’t have to go if I’m not wanted, it’s clear that everyone is looking at me crazy and I’m not for it.

MALACHI SNOWDEN: It's not that boo, I think everyone is just shocked because one you're here and two you're here with a date. But this trip is about reconnecting, having fun, and making memories as friends so I’m sure we will get past this. I'll talk to Dallas and hopefully he isn’t too mad at me.



MALACHI SNOWDEN: I know this whole situation looks messy and trust me it was never my intention to hurt Dallas or make him upset, but at one point we were all friends, we hung out together, we went on double dates and I get Dallas is still healing from the breakup but does that mean I can’t be Jalen’s friend now because those two aren’t together. I didn’t know Jalen was bringing a guest let alone a date, I’m just as shocked as everyone else.

Malachi looks into the camera.

MALACHI SNOWDEN: Dallas boo you already know I’m not that type of person, I would never put you in a situation that could potentially harm you whether it’s physically, emotionally, or mentally. I think once we get to Tokyo I’ll sit down with my friend and explain to him what happened and I hope he’s not too mad and forgives me.

The scene cuts back to the group and the scene cuts to Benny arriving in his silver Mustang. He pops his trunk as he steps out of the vehicle.



BENNY MORENO: I'm stoked to go on this trip to Tokyo. Aside from being a kid in Colombia, I ain't never left the states. I got some help to stay knocked out on the jet because I'm gonna need it. The idea of an aircraft of any kind freaks my shit out. Especially being in one for 14 hours. Let me tell you!

Benny shakes a bottle of prescription sedatives and serves us a very serious look. We go back to him taking out his few bags and handing two of them over to a luggage carrier. He walks toward the group, but stops just outside of it. He sees Paris and he glares for a minute before pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.



BENNY MORENO: Did I forget to mention that I wanna stay knocked out on this 14 hour flight because I don't know anyone? And the ones I do kinda know, one was recently brushing my tonsils with his, um… and the other is that one's boyfriend. For how long? Probably not very. I mean, he's got about as much substance as a deflated sex doll, and give off that kinda "I just lay there" energy. Boring all around. I'm just waiting for that to implode so I can have my turn. Needless to say, the crew has not laid out any red carpet by any means, so I'm staying asleep.

Benny snores as we fade back to him looking around at the growing crew.

Paris is in mid conversation with Skye as he spots Benny walking up to the group. He rolls his eyes behind his very large sunglasses.

PARIS ALEKSANDER:Oh how nice, the help has arrived.



PARIS ALEKSANDER:Damn! I almost forgot about Benny’s dirty ass. Look, I already patched things up with Adyn. I am not about to try and have a koombaya moment with Beefy over there. My good deed for the day is DONE!

The scene cuts back to the group. As Benny goes to start introducing himself to people, Paris makes a big show of clearing his throat before Benny can get a word out, drawing all eyes toward him.

PARIS ALEKSANDER:Hey everyone! Before we all get on a 14 hour plane right together, I just wanted to quickly introduce myself. Some of you already know me, but for those of you I haven’t met…hey, I’m Paris. If I look familiar it’s probably because you own a tv. That, or you’ve been to Club LadyBoy on one of the nights I was hosting. Either way I’m so excited for this trip!

Paris blows everyone a kiss then throws up two peace signs, looking pretty pleased with himself. He shoots Benny a smirk, before going back to his conversation with Skye. Benny just stares at Paris after him making a big show out of his introduction. He simply snorts and spits a giant loogie on the ground with impeccable aim as it lands right next to Paris’s foot. Luckily, Dax is conversing with Malachi so that he doesn’t notice, but Skye puts her hand over her mouth, trying to figure out whether to say anything about it.



SKYE DEVEREUX: Baby. No. We haven't even boarded the jet yet and there's so much mess going on. I'm not even sure I'm crazy enough to survive this group trip. We got Benny and Paris showing their teeth, and Team I'm Better Than You over there. Tuh. Okay.

Skye shrugs one shoulder as she looks right into the camera.



BENNY MORENO: I'm already over this trip. If I didn't wanna see Tokyo so bad, I'd already had peaced out this bitch. I don't have time for the childish games. I don't have time to be bucking up to people. Just let me enjoy this vacation without catching a damn case, bro. I'm begging you.

Benny turns and walks away from Paris and boards the jet first to get settled in.



MARIO PORTER: So about to get on my Private Jet with the rest of the cast and head go Tokyo Japan, and why I'm happy everyone decided to fly with me I'm more excited about the fact North will be with me in Tokyo and away from the little man that's always in our way. Hopefully, we can get some alone time to ourselves and have fun. Well, I got to go, everyone's waiting for me.

Mario winks at the camera as we cut back to the hanger where everyone is waiting. Suddenly, a black Bugatti pulls up a few feet away from the jet, Mario steps out wearing a red Jordan jumpsuit with a Bennie on his head, he grabs his bags and heads towards the group.

MARIO PORTER:Hey everyone, sorry to keep you all waiting, I know it's going to be a long flight there but we got everything you would need for luxury and entertainment to keep us busy. So with that said, is everyone ready to jet?

MALACHI SNOWDEN: Not yet, we’re still missing four people. I wish y’all would be on time for one!

Chanel chuckles and the scene cuts to North walking over to Mario and giving him a hug.

NORTH WYNTERS: I’m happy you could make it.

Mario hugs North tightly, bringing them close together, why he whispers something in her ear and even grabs her booty in a slick way.

MARIO PORTER:I'm so glad we get to go on this trip together and reconnect, I'm surprised Amari let you out the house.

North turns and looks at Mario giving him the look.

NORTH WYNTERS: You gotta chill Mario, you know Amari is still my boyfriend and this people know him, I’m sure some of them would love to run back to him and tell him that we were all over each other.

North sighs.



NORTH WYNTERS: I’m in a weird place right now, things aren’t going so great at home and seeing Mario is only making me feel certain feelings that shouldn't be creeping back in my life. But I still need to respect Amari while I’m on this trip.

The scene cuts back to the group with North and Mario still standing on the side.

NORTH WYNTERS: Ha, but I see you still love being hands on.

North smiles.

MARIO PORTER:Yeah them hands get active by that's my bad North forgot the cameras were watching but I get lost when it's just me and you.



MARIO PORTER:Yeah I knew the cameras were still rolling and I respect North and don't want her to look bad by any means but I wanted that little black Haitian to know I'm not stepping down at all. Also, North ass was soft as hell.

Mario winks as the camera switches back to North and Mario

As everyone boards the flight and settles in, the door to the plane closes. We get a view of the plane preparing for takeoff as it slowly makes its way onto the tarmac and then speeds down the runway before taking off into the air.

PARIS CAM

Edited into the episode is footage taken by Paris from his iPhone. It’s taken halfway through the flight where most of the cast is either asleep, watching a movie, listening to music, or reading. Those who are still up are engaged in quiet conversations among their group. Paris holds his phone up while speaking in a low whisper.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: We’re en route to Tokyo on a flight that feels like it’s been for-fucking-ever…super bored so I decided to bug everyone…let’s see what they’re up to…

Paris flips the camera around on his phone and trains it on Dax, then Skye & Ryan.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: guyyyyyys…guyyyys…we’re on an adventure! Are you excited?

We see Dax typing away on his MacBook, stopping to look up at the camera with a smile.

DAX BECKETT: I can't wait to get there, that's for sure. I've got so much planned, plus whatever the group has going on. It's gonna be litty. But for now, I'm working on this special little project.

As the phone turns to Skye, she attempts to block the shot from capturing her at first, but then gives in.

SKYE DEVEREUX: Honey, I'm all about adventures. I've traveled before but I've never really been able to soak it all in. That's what I'm most excited about.

Ryan leans in and kisses her cheek before looking right into the camera.

RYAN HOLLERAN: I was just as excited to be invited along to Tokyo as I was about joining the Mile High Club. Check and check.

Ryan laughs as Skye playfully smacks him. Paris giggles before leaving his seat and then tiptoeing around to the different groups in the cabin. First he spots Benny, who is knocked out. Paris can’t help but giggle at the sound of his snoring.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: is that a water Buffalo? No…it’s just Benny…deep deep in dreamland. Sweet Dreams Benedicto…

Paris then skulks around to where Trinity, Dallas, Malachi & De’Vaughn are sitting.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: say hi to the camera, guyyyys!

He then points the phone in their faces. Trinity blows a kiss to the camera

TRINITY MONROE: We're going to tokyo!

MALACHI SNOWDEN: Girl if you don’t get that camera out my face, I look a mess.

DALLAS REED: Man let's just get this shit over with.

He grunts and pushes the camera away from his face.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: shit I agree. This is my first flight. I'm scared as shit

TRINITY MONROE: You'll be fine bae. Just think! We are about to be in Tokyo! We are about to have a blast.

Paris points the phone camera back to his face before giggling.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: …Loves it…

He then makes his way to Jalen & Quan.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: heyyy y’all lookin real cozy over here. Mile high club anyone?

JALEN HOLMES: (chuckles) ha, maybe.

QUAN: Shit I’m with it.

Paris laughs and then tiptoes over toe Mario where he finds North snuggled up next to him. The two are sharing a blanket and look very close to each other.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: Ooh la la, speaking of the mile high club…what have we got here?

He giggles softly to himself as he has the camera trained on Mario & North.

MARIO PORTER:(Mario lets out a laugh) Man Paris you must trying to get a free show?

NORTH WYNTERS: Hey cutie, hey y’all…

PARIS ALEKSANDER: I think that’s my exit cue!

Lastly, Paris makes his way over to Adyn & Chase who are seated across from Chanel & Miles.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: …and here, we have The Plastics…am I cool enough to sit with y’all?

ADYN RICHIE: You tried it.

CHASE LIU: …….

MILES BALENCIAGA: Boo boo shitty, I need to be paid to be on whatever low budget documentary you’re doing right now.

Just then a sound chimes throughout the plane and the “seatbelt” signs at every seat light up.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: oof! Saved by the bell!

Paris then runs back to his seat and straps himself in before blowing a kiss at the phone camera and shutting it off, the plane continues to fly and the scene fades.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

The scene opens up with Dax in his confessional



DAX BECKETT: WE’RE IN TOKYO BITCHESSSSSSSS!

Dax throws his arms up in the air, pumping his fist for a second. He straightens up, clearing his throat before busting out laughing at himself.

DAX BECKETT: No, no, seriously. So, my “homeless” ass actually lived here like 4 years ago. It’s where I trained to wrestle. Even though I’m better known for my appearances on theLIFE ATL, my trade is wrestling, and I’m damn good at it. And it all started here on the independent circuit.

Dax is tooting his own horn a bit as he reminisces, and then has to stop to laugh at himself again.

DAX BECKETT: No, look… So, I got a niece here in Tokyo. From one of my ex husbands. Low key, she’s like 3 years younger than me, and she’s the coolest chick. But, high key, I didn’t even know I was married to the dude. I was a wanderer, a true urban nomad. I took a couple showers at his place, and… long story short, I’m in a kimono and being dressed in oils. It was a thing.

Dax hides his eyes from the camera.

DAX BECKETT: No! Don’t look at me like that! I was a dumb teenager, fresh back in the closet and not thinking about any of that. But, anyway, his sister’s kid was a dope ass chick, and she’s literally one of my best friends. We wrestle together, even though we don’t do much camera work together. I’m “Uncle Dax”. And she was injured a couple months ago, so I’m literally not NOT gonna visit her while I’m here. So we’re breaking away from the crew for a bit so I can catch up with Tatsu.

The scene fades into Dax, Paris, and Skye walking down the streets of the Roppongi District. They approach the Ms. Bunny cafe, and Skye squeals. She bounces up and down before stopping Dax to give him a big hug.



SKYE DEVEREUX: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

She puts her hands over her mouth to muffle her excited screams.

SKYE DEVEREUX: Oh my goddess, this is like literally the best day of my life. I’m in fricken Tokyo. I’m about to meet the iconic Kawaii Dragons member, Tatsu Ikeda… and it’s all going down in a bunny cafe. Are you freaking serious right now? Pinch me, because this has got to be a dream.

Back at the cafe, the trio opens the door and enters inside. They look around before Dax flexes and pays for everyone.



DAX BECKETT: 4Tsu onegaishimasu, arigatōgozaimashita (Four please, and thank you very much.)

He bows, a little overzealous to flex even further. The cashier takes the payment and then brings them to their table where there are mats set out. They each take a mat, and Dax orders the drinks for everyone. A few attendants bring out three rabbits, one for each of them.



PARIS ALEKSANDER: So I’m obviously not a stranger to Tokyo…

Paris smirks then rolls his eyes while pointing to his gold medal from the recent Olympics.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: However, I’ve never actually experienced Tokyo…so when Dax and Skye invited me to meet Dax’s niece, I was more than elated. Honestly, I kind of fucked things up when meeting Dax’s parents…we won’t get into that right now.

The shady production team rolls a reel with a few clips of what happened during the housewarming party.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: so if anything, I’m super grateful to meet Dax’s niece and I’m just hoping things go well.

The scene cuts to the bunny cafe. Paris is smiling, petting a bunny that’s hopped onto his lap. He turns to Dax with a wide grin.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: Ohmigawd it's so cute! I want onnnne.

Dax reaches over and pets the bunny on Paris’s lap. He smiles and gives Paris a peck on the cheek. The rabbit on his own lap is playfully friendly, leaning up to get Dax’s attention back to him.

TATSU IKEDA: Oh hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…

The effervescent laughter brings everyone’s attention over to Dax’s niece, who is extremely colorful in a pink dress, pink and black hair pulled back into a ponytail that sits very animated on top of her head. Her purse matches the dress, and she places it down on the floor next to the empty chair. She gives Dax a light hug. When he goes to hug her back, she pulls away.

TATSU IKEDA: Broken ribs, Uncle Dax. 2 Broke Bitchesssss, and they still hurt.

Tatsu pouts a little before her eyes light up at seeing Paris and Skye. She is almost too starstruck at the sight of both, she doesn’t know who to address first.

TATSU IKEDA: Hiiiiiiiiiii hiiiiiiiiiiiiii hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii everybodyyyyyyyyy! Omyyahhhhhhhh is Paris Aleksander and Skye Devereux. I love both of you so much for different reasons.

Tatsu is closer to Paris, so she leans in and gives him a side hug, blushing. She then walks around the table to give Skye the same treatment. Skye finds a way to wrap her arms around Tatsu without hurting her to get that hug.

SKYE DEVEREUX: Literally, I don’t ever want to let go. You and Winter have inspired me so much. I love you guys. Like, you have no idea.

TATSU IKEDA: No, you have no idea. You are inspiration to many people as transgender wrestler worldwide. Very brave.

Skye can’t help but kiss Tatsu’s cheek. Tatsu giggles and covers her mouth as a random fan snaps a picture through the window of the cafe before getting chased off by one of the employees. Tatsu gasps and picks up a fluffy white bunny, giving it a light hug as she sits down.

TATSU IKEDA: Paris was just here last year. When I came home, we watched Olympics on TV together as family, and I knew you as soon as walked in door. Diver with great ass, yes Uncle Dax?

Dax winks one eye and nods his head with a sensual “ok” hand symbol, but his face says “damn straight”. He wraps his free arm around Paris. Paris, elated from the praise and recognition, leans in and kisses Dax sweetly on the cheek. He then turns his attention to Tatsu with a smile.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: You’re too cute. It’s so nice to meet you! I’m like obsessed with these bunnies. But what I really wanna know is…was Dax always a sweetheart? Give me the deets!

Tatsu covers her mouth, giggling softly. She leans across the table as if to whisper, but Dax and Skye lean in too, so it’s not much of a secret.

TATSU IKEDA: He is as you would say, heartbreaker. He is hard to tie down as I see. My uncle was infatuated with Uncle Dax, but Dax is young, not ready to settle down with old man. You are young and beautiful so it’s not problem for you.



DAX BECKETT:I should have known that my business would get spilled like this. You know, the stuff I really didn’t want the whole world to know. But, here we are, and I just have to take it like a grown up.

TATSU IKEDA: In Japan, gay marriage is not so good to traditional people. But younger people don’t mind so much. So I embraced having uncle who is more like big brother to me. He teach me how to drive car on wrong side of road. He teach me how to defend myself. He is good person. You are lucky to have his attention. Even though many believe not to mix outside of Japanese culture, there are so many men and women here who would envy you.

Skye claps her hands, startling the bunny. She tries to soothe it to make up for scaring it.

SKYE DEVEREUX: That’s what I been trying to tell him since day one. He’s nearly a sex symbol, but he thinks he’s some frumpy librarian now or something. He’s such a hottie.

TATSU IKEDA: Yesssss! Like I said, he is heartbreaker. But, you will treat him right, yes?

Paris smiles sweetly and takes Tatsu’s hand.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: I promise, there’s nothing I want more than to treat your uncle right.

Paris then looks over at Dax with a soft gaze then back to Tatsu.



PARIS ALEKSANDER: so I think I might be in love.

Dax reaches over and takes hold of Paris’s hand. Tatsu, Skye, and Ryan all let out an admirable “awww” as they looked at each other. Even Dax and Paris’s bunnies curl up next to each other, their noses and mouths moving as they nuzzle up. Dax puts his head against Paris’s as Tatsu pulls out her phone, placing it next to Dax’s on the table.

TATSU IKEDA: Tonight we can party like adults, yes? Traditional Japanese karaoke bar is so, so much fun. Hehe. There is address. I will get us private room in case anyone is shy.

SKYE DEVEREUX: Um, heck yes! I’m down, but don’t judge me. My voice isn’t the best.

RYAN HOLLERAN: I’m sure you sound like a proper angel.

Dax looks at Ryan with a raised eyebrow, chuckling to himself. Tatsu smiles and looks at Paris.

TATSU IKEDA: I think he will have best voice. But, I will sing too, so watch out for fierce competition, hai!

Tatsu puts her hands together and bows at Paris. She then takes the last sip of her drink and gives the bunny in her lap some cuddles before setting him down on the table. She makes her rounds, saying goodbye to everyone as the scene cuts and reopens up inside of the beautiful Aman Tokyo where Chanel, Jalen and Quan are shown walking towards the bar area, Chanel who is fully dressed in drag walks over to one of the bartenders and orders three drinks for her and the crew. She walks back over to Jalen and Quan with drinks in hand as the three walk over towards “The Lounge” area.

CHANEL SNOW: Tokyo is so beautiful, and this hotel is amazing.

JALEN HOLMES: This is a nice setup.

CHANEL SNOW: I didn’t know you knew Japanese Jalen, I need you to be my translator while we’re on this trip.

JALEN HOLMES: I got you, but you know being a model has its perks.

QUAN: Mr. Supermodel of the world.

Quan chuckles.

CHANEL SNOW: How is London? I wanted to ask you about it on the flight but I think a certain someone is mad at me so I was trying to keep the peace.



CHANEL SNOW: Look I’m not saying inviting Jalen wasn’t a little shady, but at one point we were all friends and Jalen was in town, he wanted to hang out so why not invite him? If those two are really done then it shouldn’t matter who is on the trip, as for Quan I didn’t know Jalen was bringing him so that’s not my fault.

The scene cuts back to three.

JALEN HOLMES: I know my presence here is upsetting a few people, but the way I see it is we’re in Tokyo so let’s enjoy that, anything else can wait until we get back to Atlanta.

QUAN: What’s the beef anyway? I know yo ex is here but he’s been staying to himself, he probably doesn't want the smoke if he acts out of pocket but if y’all wanna have a conversation then I don’t care, that man probably needs some closure, look at how he was acting on the plane.

CHANEL SNOW: I’m sure Dallas is over it, but it has been a long time since you’ve two seen each other. So it was probably a shock to him seeing you!

JALEN HOLMES: I just hate that he put the breakup on me, we both mutually ended it when he decided he didn’t want to move to London. He knows that modeling was something I’ve always wanted to do and I’m making big moves in London.

CHANEL SNOW: Yes I see that boo, you are killing it out there.

QUAN: Yea my nigga fly.

CHANEL SNOW: I want to know how you two met?

Chanel starts sipping on her drink as she waits for the two to spill the tea on how they met.

QUAN: We met backstage at an event, I saw him across the room and made it a mission to talk to him.

CHANEL SNOW: That’s so sweet.

QUAN: But he wasn’t giving me the time of day, I guess because he was still entertaining his dude at the time and I respected that, but I knew at some point he would be my nigga.

Jalen blushes.



PRODUCER: Rumors were swirling around that Jalen actually cheated on Dallas in London.

QUAN: I don’t know anything about that, when I first met Jalen yea he was in a relationship so I stepped back. Once he put in the atmosphere that he was single, I made my move.

The scene cuts back to the three.

JALEN HOLMES: This is something I’ve never experienced before, I thought I was in love but clearly that wasn’t love, this is though.



CHANEL SNOW: I’m not going to lie, this is awkward because I’m so used to seeing Dallas and Jalen together, and trust I will always have loyalty to Dallas but I am hosting this trip with Trinity and we both want this to go smoothly so I’ll play nice now and keep it cordial but I need to check with my friend at some point because I know he isn’t to happy with me.

The scene cuts back to three.

CHANEL SNOW: Cheers to that, cheers to love and cheers to having a blast in Tokyo.

All three lift their drinks and click them together, the conversation continues and the scene fades and reopens on the inside of Trinity's penthouse room. Cameras pan through giving us a view of the gorgeous space. We stop at Trinity's room where she is shown unpacking her luggage and placing things into the closet and drawers. De'Vaughn is shown sprawled over the bed with his luggage next to the bed, untouched.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: Bae, I never understood why people unpacked their suitcases on trips. We just have to repack in a week.

He chuckles.

TRINITY MONROE: I'm not trying to be digging through suitcases every time I need to get ready. I hate that.

She pauses, sighing. De'Vaughn looks up at her with a look of concern on his face.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: What's good bae? You ok. You've been quiet since we got on the plane.

Trinity takes a break from her unpacking to join her man on the bed. She lays her head on his chest and he wraps his arm around her.

TRINITY MONROE: I'm just worried about Dallas honestly.



TRINITY MONROE: Look, we just got to Tokyo. And we should all be excited and ready for some fun. We have a lot of great things planned for this group. But all I can think about is what might happen.

She sighs.

TRINITY MONROE: I know they say there's three sides to every story. I only know Dallas' side. But I also know how Dallas is in a relationship. We dated for over ten years. So I know how he loves. And that man was in love with Jalen. And I know it's hurting him to see him here with somebody else after the way things ended for them. The insanity this will cause and to be honest it’s not my business because it wasn't my relationship but for the sake of this trip, I just want this all to go away.

And shakes her head as the scene returns to the two.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: I don't really know what's going on with all that. But I don't think we should let it mess up the trip. Me and you in a whole 'nother country. Together. This is a big deal.



DE’VAUGHN CANNON: Don't get me wrong. I feel where she is coming from. Shit did seem mad awkward the whole plane ride. At least while I was awake.

He chuckles

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: But I'm in Tokyo with my bae. She's used to this kinda life. But for me this is kinda a big deal. My first time outta the country. And it's with the woman I love. I wanna enjoy this. I don't wanna focus on everybody else's drama. And come on. They are big boys. They can get over whatever bullshit they got going on for a week right?

He shrugs as the scene fades back to the two. He pulls Trinity closer to him and kisses her on the forehead she leans in with his embrace, starting to feel at ease .

TRINITY MONROE: You're right bae. You know how I am tho. But I'm definitely going to make the best of it because I could just be jumping the gun.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: I think so. I think we should stop focusing on the drama and all this luggage and start focusing on getting you out these clothes forreal. Tryna get some of bae before we gotta link up with the rest of the crew. I know you got all this shit planned.

She giggles as she leans up, and De'Vaughn meets her with a kiss to her lips. He gently taps her butt and grabs ahold of it. As the two are sharing their moment there is a loud knock at their door. Trinity jumps, startled. Devaughn jabs at the bed.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: Of course!

The two burst out laughing.



He shakes his head and chuckles.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: Ain't this some bullshit man?

The scene fades back to the two. Trinity hops up from the bed.

TRINITY MONROE: I'll get it.

She runs to the door and peers through the peephole to see Asani Li standing on the other side. She smiles and opens the door for her.

TRINITY MONROE: Daughta!!! Come in girl!



ASANI LI: We're in Tokyo! I'm so excited to be back here. I did a fashion show here two years ago but I didn't really get to see Tokyo. It was show, plane, next location. So it feels good to be here to actually enjoy Japan! And here with my mother!

A quick montage of Trinity and Asani's friendship is shown before going back to her confessional.

ASANI LI: Since she and I met. We were attached at the hip..I've always looked up to her so when she claimed me as her daughter! What!?

She smiles.

ASANI LI: Girl. I was gagged. And if you know anything of ballroom culture, you know we take our family seriously. Most of us have been ostracized by our real family, so we build our own in this community. And trinity has been my mother when I didn't have one. I basically transitioned on my own. Didn't know anything and she helped me up. I love my girl.

She blushes as the scene returns to the two in the living room.

TRINITY MONROE: What's good girl?

ASANI LI: Mother! I wanted to talk to you about the ball!

TRINITY MONROE: Right now? Girl! We just got here.

Moments later De'Vaughn is shown walking into the living room in his basketball shorts.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: What's good bae? Who was it?

He notices Asani.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: Oh What's good Asani?

ASANI LI: Heyy Mr. Vaughn

He looks to Trinity with a grin. She whispers.

ASANI LI: Was I interrupting something?

She giggles.

TRINITY MONROE: Yes you were. Coming in here talking bout a ball. We just got her girl!

ASANI LI: of all the times for me to be early.

Trinity rolls her eyes.

TRINITY MONROE: Yes! Now get!

ASANI LI: I'm going I'm going.

She chuckles and kisses Trinity on the cheek. And makes her way to the door.

ASANI LI: love you ma! Bye Mr. Vaughn!

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: Later Asani.

TRINITY MONROE: love you. Byeee!

She closes the door and locks it behind her. She looks back to De'Vaughn.

TRINITY MONROE: Now.. where where we?

He smirks and walks over to her, pinning her to the door.

DE’VAUGHN CANNON: somewhere right about here.

He leans in and kisses her gently as the scene fades and reopens with Adyn inside of his room, he’s on the phone with someone but refuses to let the cameras all the way in to listen to his conversation. He notices some of the cameramen trying to sneak closer to him to eavesdrop and Adyn just opens the door to the balcony and walks out, Adyn sighs as he continues his conversation forgetting that he is still mic’d.

ADYN RICHIE: I miss you man, I really wish you could have come with me but I don’t want people in my business.

VOICE ON THE PHONE: You good yo, but you already know I can hop on a flight and see you in about 14 hours, we would still have time to chill and shit.

ADYN RICHIE: I would love that, but I don't know man, I know all of this is new to you and I just don’t want you to feel overwhelmed.

VOICE ON THE PHONE: Overwhelmed? I’m grown as fuck, I’m not worried about no one else but you. You let me know what you want to do and I’ll pack a bag and pull up or fly in, you know what the fuck I mean.

ADYN RICHIE: Damn you got me blushing over here.

Adyn’s conversation is interrupted by one of the producers that lets them know that Dallas is at the door.

ADYN RICHIE: Bae I gotta go, I’ll text you in a second and let you know what's up.

VOICE ON THE PHONE: Don’t forget about me yo.

ADYN RICHIE: I could never do that.

Adyn smiles as he hangs the phone up, he walks back into his room and is greeted by a hug from Dallas who seems like he’s in a better mood than he was earlier.

ADYN RICHIE: I just knew you would walk in here with some drunks, luckily I have a stacked bar. .

Adyn chuckles.

DALLAS REED: Man I already had enough to drink forreal. I don't need no more

He chuckles.

ADYN RICHIE: But look, are you good? On the plane ride over you looked really annoyed and I didn’t want to ask you then, I figured after things cooled down and we landed I would talk to you.



ADYN RICHIE: I don’t know Jalen like that, but I know his presence here is probably making Dallas uncomfortable and upset, you can tell by his facial expressions that he was upset and honestly I don’t blame you, Jalen’s been MIA for what a year now and he all of sudden pops up and with a date, that some fucked up shit.

Adyn shakes his head and the scene cuts back to the two. A

DALLAS REED: I guess I'm aiight. Just kinda in my feelings a lil bit.

ADYN RICHIE: I know that shit with Jalen is bothering you, I don't know much about y’all’s background since me and you basically just started being cool but I want you to know I’m here for you if you need to talk.

DALLAS REED: Yea man I know. It's just a lot. I ain't had to see or talk to him in months. Now all of a sudden I just gotta deal with him like all this shit ain't happen. And Chanel foul.

ADYN RICHIE: Maybe y’all should sit down and talk, I get that the relationship is over but it seems like there wasn’t any closure, I mean this is the perfect opportunity to squash shit and move on, I don’t know how I would react if my ex brought his new boo on a trip, I’d probably be somewhere in a Tokyo holding cell.

Adyn chuckles.

ADYN RICHIE: Real shit.

DALLAS REED: I'm tryna tell you bro. I wouldn't do no shit like that.

The producer walks in and advises Dallas and Adyn that Alexis, Diamond and Hector have finally arrived in Japan. Adyn was looking for Alexis earlier but she was nowhere in sight.

ADYN RICHIE: Damn I didn’t think she was coming.

DALLAS REED: Me neither.

A couple minutes go by and a knock is heard at the door, Adyn rushes over to the door and standing on the other side is Alexis and Diamond.

ADYN RICHIE: Oooh welcome, look who finally decided to show up and fashionably late.

Adyn greets both Diamond and Alexis with a hug and he invites them in, Dallas waves at them both and Adyn walks over to his little mini bar and starts pouring them drinks.

ADYN RICHIE: Why y’all so late getting here? Or the real question is why didn’t y’all fly with us?

Alexis and Diamond walk in and hug Dallas and take a seat.

ALEXIS HUNTER: Hun, you know we both have been going through it. It has been a rough few weeks for the both of us. The details of my breakup have still been private, but I guess I need to sit down with someone to get the news out well.

DIAMOND DIOR: I’ve been working so much that I haven’t been doing anything else. I’m sick of the father of my child acting childish so I’m grinding to get ready for this legal war that I’m about to wage. Next thing we knew it was time to go to Tokyo but in the event North was on the plane, I told Lex that we should just make our own way here.

ADYN RICHIE: I didn’t know you were going through a breakup Alexis, I’m sorry to hear that, you and Paul looked so happy together.

Adyn gives Alexis another hug.

ADYN RICHIE: But listen, you're here in Tokyo now, so let go of all that drama and let’s just have a good time, I’m talking to both of y’all.

Adyn looks around wondering where Hector is.

ADYN RICHIE: Did Hector come with you guys?



PRODUCER: Do you honestly care if Hector is on the trip or not?

ADYN RICHIE: I don’t know why people are trying to make this beef or something between Hector and I, we both knew what it was from the jump and I do care about the boy. Of course I want him here, like that’s a dumb question to ask.

The scene cuts back to Adyn, Alexis, Diamond and Dallas.

DIAMOND DIOR: He is here, he was being a gentleman and getting all our bags situated, he should be over shortly. He is excited to see you.

ALEXIS HUNTER: Talked about it a lot. He knows that you have both been booked and getting paid so he was happy to spend some time with you.

DIAMOND DIOR: It was honestly a relief to have him with us so we didn't have to think about our situations. But you are right, we are in a beautiful country and we are all paid with our pussies or bussies poppin.

ADYN RICHIE: Well I can’t wait to see him, but I’m really happy you guys are all here, you kind of missed some drama at the airport and on the flight but it seems like everyone is ok now.

Alexis’ eyes light out at the word drama.

ALEXIS HUNTER: Drama, now you know we need this good tea.



ALEXIS HUNTER: Yes Chile, this is just what I needed to get my mind off of Paul. We were supposed to go to Tokyo together and that’s why I was reluctant to come. But I vowed no man would ever break me. Time to change the trajectory of this trip, and what a better way to change it then some good old fashioned gossip.

DIAMOND DIOR: As long as it don’t involve me, I’m here for it.

The group continue talking and laughing as the scene fades and reopens with Mario out shopping in Tokyo Japan, as he carries a few designer gift bags in his hand as he walks down the street.



MARIO PORTER:So I left North in her room after last night and no I'm not telling y'all nosey asses if something happens that's between me and her.

Mario smirks a little.

MARIO PORTER:
But anyways I'm out here shopping for the rest of the crew. I figured since this is my first season I should do my best to impress them and make some allies on the show.


Mario pulls out some custom designed Balenciaga Pink white speakers with some with Paris name on the side spelled in Diamonds.


MARIO PORTER:Yeah Paris going to love these, I heard he’s a big sneaker head so I know this will buy me some brownie points.


He puts the sneakers back up and pulls out a fancy-designed Japanese Art painting.


MARIO PORTER:
Now this for my boy Dax, he has been really cool with me and I dig his vibe and I know he's a fan of art so I stopped by a Gallery and picked this up for him. Now I'm not exactly sure what it is. Just that the young lady told me it brings great luck and fortune to whoever home it hangs up in. So I'm sure Dax would love that.

Mario puts the painting back in it's bag and moves over to another one and pulls out a bright Gold chain that looks like the type rappers wear and he's holds it out it says MILES.


MARIO PORTER: Yeah got my best friend a fly ass Chain for him to show off when he's putting out that hot news for the streets. Now I just have to get my boo something.

Mario smiles as we switch back to Mario entering a very expensive and fancy jewelry store in Japan called Star-Jewelry. The store has security at the door and has cases of Diamonds,jewels and other Jewelry. He walks over to The Necklace case and looks at some before his eyes fall on a beautiful Diamond platinum necklace with a snowflake shaped like a heart.

MARIO PORTER: OH yeah this the one right here she'll love this.

An attendant walks up to the case Mario is looking at.

ATTENDANT: Find anything you like sir?

Mario pointS down towards The Necklace he was looking at.

MARIO PORTER: Yeah that big one right there I'll take that beauty.

ATTENDANT: Splendid I'll get you rung up over here sir.

The attendant takes the necklace out of the case and carries it over to the counter. The attendant puts it in a case then into a gift bag.

ATTENDANT: That will be 50k in American.



MARIO PORTER: Yeah I know what you thinking I must be crazy to drop this kind of bread on a girl that's engaged but that's how much I've fallen for North again and how much I really don't care about that gumball machine ring Amri got her.

We switch back to the jewelry store and Mario pulls out a Gold Card and hands it to the Attendant. Who swipes the card and waits for the screen to light up with green and say approve after a few moments it does and the attendant hands the bag to Mario.

ATTENDANT: Thank you sir and please come again.

Mario winks as he walks out the door with a big ass grin on his face, as the scene switches back to the hotel, a few hours go by and everyone is scheduled to meet at the Musashi. Musashi by Aman invites guests to experience the authentic Japanese omakase dining tradition. In front of diners, Master Chef Musashi prepares an exquisite selection of sushi and sashimi based on the finest and freshest ingredients available, the group watches on as the chef and a couple of his helpers prepare the food.

ADYN RICHIE: This looks like it’s going to be really good.

DALLAS REED: Facts man. I can't wait to try this shit.



ADYN RICHIE: After that long flight and walking around all day with Dallas I am ready to eat and go to sleep, and this food is looking really good right now, smells good too. I just hope this dinner doesn’t have any issues, everyone is here including Jalen and his date so let’s just hope no glasses or sushi will be thrown.

Adyn chuckles as the scene cuts back to the dinner. A few minutes go by and it’s complete silence, some people are on their phones while others are having small but short side conversations. Chanel reaches for her glasses and raises it.

CHANEL SNOW: I think we should all make a toast to a good time here in Tokyo, Trinity and I did a lot of work to put this trip together and we just want everyone to have a great time without the madness.

TRINITY MONROE: Amen! We are in Tokyo! Glad yall came to be here with us. But yall remember, we are not in the US. Let's keep it cute yall. I'm not bailing nobody out.

She chuckles.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: I’ll drink to that!



PARIS ALEKSANDER: This trip has been pretty chill so far, but I don’t know why we had to come all the way to Tokyo just to sit on our knees when most of these hoes do that on the daily back in Atlanta. Either way, I’m here for what Chanel and Trinity are saying about not having any drama. Adyn and I seemed to smooth things over for now, and I’m just flat out ignoring Benny….and even though I’m a little apprehensive when it comes to Chase because I think he had something to do with my sex tape getting leaked at Dax & Skye’s party, I’m gonna try to be a team player and make sure things run smoothly for the sake of the group.


The scene cuts back to the group on their knees around the short dinner table. They all raise their glasses to toast to a good time as the servers begin to present the food.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: So Trin…Chanel…what’s on the agenda for the trip?



DAX BECKETT: I'm no stranger to Tokyo. I spent years living here. I have friends all around town. But I do have to say that this?

Dax moves his index finger around in circles to demonstrate the moment.

DAX BECKETT: This shit hits different. I'm among friends. But… I'm also amongst people that want to see me fall. And I love my man, Paris. Like so much. But he's left a sour taste in a few people's mouths. He has enemies, and if we're gonna roll together, then that just means that I have more enemies. But it's okay. I do best in adversity. So throw all you got at me, boots.

Back at the restaurant, Dax is looking around at the sushi being prepared before the group. A server brings about a bottle of sake and pours for everyone, one at a time.

DAX BECKETT: Sake! Shit's getting real now! But, I'm with my boo on this one. I know Chan and Trin can take something as big as Tokyo, and make it ten times bigger.

BENNY MORENO: I'm here for it.



BENNY MORENO: Of course I get seated next to Dax. Which is cool. Yeah, I'm still fangirling for him and my booty twitches when he's around. But then little miss Fun in the Suntan Bed is right on the other side of him, and whoooo I'm catching the stank bussy smell. I'm pretty sure I can still smell Billy whatever his last name was spunk on her lips, baby. So I'm going to just do what she been doing this whole time and just…

Benny puts a hand up and turns his head to signify ignoring Paris. He then widens his eyes, looks back to the camera, and tilts his head to the side. We go back to the table and Benny reaches over briefly to tap Chanel's hand, smiling and then looks over to Trinity.

BENNY MORENO: If this is just dinner, then I got to know what else you guys got going on for us here. I trust it's gonna be fucking huge…

CHANEL SNOW: I want to do some shopping while I'm here, but Trinity and I are throwing this huge BALL just to give you guys a taste of our world. I know a lot of you aren’t in the ballroom scene but I’m sure you guys will enjoy what we have planned.

TRINITY MONROE: Yes yall! I also invited some of my kids from my house. You'll meet them soon. But this ball is gonna be big yall.



TRINITY MONROE: Ballroom has grown so much since I first joined. So to be bringing a ball to Tokyo… big deal. I wanna show these girls how we do it!

The scene returns to the group.

DALLAS REED: You already know the OG is ready. It's been a minute since I snatched grand prize man.

ADYN RICHIE: I’m here for the dramatics, I hope y’all brought some of your best outfits whether it's paid for or put together, I want to see some looks.

JALEN HOLMES: It’s been so long since I’ve been to a ball, I’m excited.

Quan leans over and mumbles to Jalen.

QUAN: What the hell is a ball?

Jalen chuckles as he passionately slides his hand over Quan’s face.

JALEN HOLMES: I’ll explain it later, boo.

Chase sits there sipping on his drink and listening to the conversations amongst the group, his vibes give off “annoyed” and he doesn’t do anything to try and hide it. Asani, who is sitting between Chase and Micah, leans over to Chase.

ASANI LI: You ok Chase?

Chase nods his head.

CHASE LIU: I guess, I’m just wondering why everyone is being so fake right now knowing that we all have issues amongst this group, I think before we can actually have a good time we should address a few things.

ASANI LI: Oop! Speak on it boo! I mean maybe you wanna kick it off. Lead the way since the girls are being oh so fake.



Asani sarcastically rolls her eyes. Before taking a sip from her martini glass. The scene then returns to the grip without her saying a word.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: So much for having a great time without the madness…

Paris says under his breath, elbowing Dax discreetly. He smirks and swirls his drink before taking a sip.



PARIS ALEKSANDER: We ain’t even had time to bust out the chopsticks before ol’ sour puss Chase starts up with the bullshit. I definitely need to start eating something soon, if only to keep from saying something I’ll regret.

The scene cuts back to the group.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: Well if you got something to say, say what’s on your mind Chase. You opened the door, might as well start us off.

Paris just rolls his eyes and takes another sip of his drink. Benny leans forward and looks around Dax, right at Paris.

BENNY MORENO: Wait, what was that first part? The thing you whispered? I just want to make sure we're being one hundred here, chica. Seems like you got something to say. Let's hear it. Or are you one of the girls Chase is talking about?

Benny takes a sip of his imported beer, blinking only once as he stays on Paris. Dax sighs and looks around the table.

DAX BECKETT: Come on guys. Let's try to be cordial here. Chanel and Trinity worked hard to give us a good time.



Dax stares at the camera for a second before throwing his hands up in the air. He scoffs.

DAX BECKETT: Chase and I knew each other from last season. He's got his point of view, and that's fine. But to just obliterate the hard work of others isn't cool. And Benny just had to get his mouth going to perpetuate the bullshit.

Back in the restaurant, Benny looks at Dax now.

BENNY MORENO: I respect that. But some of us aren't here for the fakeness and the bullshit. I'm sure it's not comfortable for those who are on that shit, but everyone else would have a much better time if we were one hundred.

Benny shrugs.

CHASE LIU: I don’t mind speaking my mind and don’t need anyone to tell me to do so, let's be real here there's a few people in this room that don’t like you.

Chase points at Paris.

CHASE LIU: So how about we all deal with that issue first.



CHASE LIU: Everyone knows I have an issue with Paris, and if you didn’t know then you must be living under a rock, what a lot of people don’t know is that we have history, not together but we both messed with the same guy, of course I dated him first and Paris was just a quick bust and go, poor baby thought he was going to get wifed up but instead he got a face full of cum and a uber ride home.

Chase chuckles.

CHASE LIU: After that whole ordeal, I just never liked the boy. Honestly I could care less about it now because that was months ago but that still doesn’t mean I want to be his friend, people like Paris you don’t want in your life, trust me.

The scene cuts back to dinner.

CHASE LIU: And then I see you trying to come between me and Adyn, it's like you want to be the center of attention, or should I say drama.

Chase rolls his eyes.

ADYN RICHIE: …..



ADYN RICHIE: I should have known Chase would be the first one to kick off the madness, look I don’t have an issue with Paris, no one said we had to be best friends but at the same time like that boy has never really did anything to me, of course we have our little spats back and forth on social media but my hatred for him was based off of Chase.

Adyn shrugs.

ADYN RICHIE: But honestly I’m not here to fight Chase’s battles, if he wants to have unnecessary drama then so be it, I’m just trying to live my life and have fun.




Paris makes a show of dramatically rolling his eyes before making a gun with his fingers and pointing it at his temple, miming shooting himself and making a gunshot noise. He tosses his arms up in the air before slumping back in his chair.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: Youuuu gotta be fucking kidding me!

The scene cuts back to dinner. Paris first turns to address Benny for his earlier comments, leaning across Dax to do so.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: For your information, nobody here is being fake. What I SAID was So much for a peaceful night because unlike you and this one here…

Paris motions to Chase.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: …I have something called tact. Meaning I know there’s a time and a place for everything and this clearly ain’t either of those things! It’s called having manners but I don’t expect somebody like you to understand that.

Paris then turns to face Chase.


PARIS ALEKSANDER: and you know what, I really wasn’t gonna say anything because I didn’t think it was anyone’s business or that big of a deal but you wanna talk about it? Fine, let’s talk about it. Let’s get it all out on the table.

For this next part, Paris bangs on the table with each word to emphasize his point.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT GUY CHEATED ON YOU.

Paris then regains his composure but continues to face Chase head on.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: I didn’t even know, or care that he was seeing anybody. You were a non-motherfuckin-factor. If you wanna be mad at somebody, be mad at him. Maybe if you weren’t so concerned with me and what I’m doing, then you might be able to get a man of your own and keep him.

Paris quickly turns back to face Benny and points directly at him.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: That goes for you too!

Paris then snaps his face back in Chase’s direction.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: and now I’m trying to get between you and Adyn?! I’m sorry, is Adyn your man? You fuckin him now too? No? Okay then why are you acting like such a psycho?! Is he not allowed to be friends or even talk to someone else without your permission? Wow, Chase. Your insecurity is showing. I don’t know who hurt you…

Paris pauses for a second, before pointing his finger in the air real quick.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: No wait, actually I do because I fucked him…but still, like I said before…don’t take that shit out on me.

Paris then slumps back in his seat with his arms folded across his chest.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: Anybody else got somethin they wanna say?! Or can we eat, because my fuckin sushi is getting warm.

BENNY MORENO: No, honey. Go ahead and put something in your mouth so we don't have to hear your backhanded or *air quotes* tactful comments. Let the adults talk.

Benny waves Paris off and turns his attention to the rest of the group. Dax scoots his chair away from Benny a little to look at him sideways.

DAX BECKETT: That must mean you need to close your mouth, Benny because you're being the most childish at this table, and that's saying something.

Dax looks right at Chase as he says this.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: it’s the two hoes that nobody will claim trying to come at somebody, for me…tuh!

Chase chuckles.

CHASE LIU: Hoes? Thats hilarious coming from someone who has swallowed more dicks than Lana Rhoades, and Dax I wouldn’t say to much because it wasn’t that long ago you were chasing at my friend Tristan who basically fucked you and left you in the homeless dugout where you belong.

Miles laughs almost spitting out his drink.



MILES BALENCIAGA: Chile not Chase using one of my clapbacks, now everyone knows I’m the only person that can call Dax homeless.

The scene cuts back to the dinner table and Dax slams his fist on the table and starts to get up from his seat when Paris tries to cool him down. Dax points across the table at Chase.

DAX BECKETT: You are so fucking wrong for that and you know it! If you were a real friend, you wouldn't air your friend's business so casually. Fuck what you actually think of me, but to do that to your friend speaks volumes about your insecurities. It's sus that you do your friends like that. Getting jealous over Adyn and Paris making up. I've had opinions about people, but you're a real piece of shit!

Benny puts a hand on Dax's, lowering it down to the table, but Dax yanks it away.

DAX BECKETT: You weren't always so bad, Chase. But whatever person or people pissed in your apple juice really got you feeling some type of way and it's not my fault. It's not Paris’s fault. It's not Adyn or Tristan's fault. Get. Mental. Help. Now.

Dax claps with each of the last four words.

BENNY MORENO: You're overreacting, Dax.



SKYE DEVEREUX: I'm sitting at a table with so many people that I don't know very well, and that's already a little uncomfortable honey. But then Chase decides to waste no time in stirring the pot. Normally, I might have found it kinda funny, but you're messing with my people.

Back at the table, Skye is assessing the situation, taking a bite of sushi. As she chews, it's clear she has something to say.

SKYE DEVEREUX: Dax, Paris, babies please don't let the sour pussy over there ruin your good time. Just because he isn't having a good time, he wants to drag everyone else down. It's okay. We see you, kiddo.

Skye looks right at Chase and gives a firm, authoritative wink before taking another bite from her piece of sushi.

BENNY MORENO: Look, can I just say that you all are attacking Chase? And he is just matching your energy. If you all want to stop the fighting, then… I don't know… stop fighting!

Benny laughs and shakes his head, rolling his eyes as if he and Chase are in on some secret joke.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: I can’t…

Paris just sighs and let’s his head roll back on his shoulders, exasperated.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: Like I literally can’t even take you two seriously right now.



PARIS ALEKSANDER: Benny can’t be serious. Like, we’re attacking Chase?! Nobody, and I mean nobody was even thinking about Chase as usual, before he decided to pop off. We wouldn’t be having this conversation if it weren’t for him…like he LITERALLY ASKED FOR IT! I’m starting to think he’s just majorly jealous…he sees me and Dax all boo’d up, meanwhile he can’t get a man to save his life. If you ask me, he’s probably secretly in love with Adyn and now that we aren’t beefing anymore, he’s mad about that too…then Benny stank ass wants to instigate…I don’t even know why he’s on this show. Ain’t he a secondary cast mate?

Paris raises a brow and his shoulders at the same time before the scene cuts back to the dinner.


Chase just sits back and watches the drama unfold even more, kind of tickled by the drama he has caused, Chase just takes another sip of his drink and looks at Skye.

CHASE LIU: Girl I don’t even know you, so I suggest you stay in your lane, your new here so anything you have to say doesn’t mean shit.

SKYE DEVEREUX: Obviously, boo boo. I mean you came into my own home, disrespecting me, so why should we expect you to be classy at this dinner.

Chase just ignores Skye and looks at Benny.

CHASE LIU: They need someone to gang up on and I guess I’m today's target. I don’t know why you want to be associated with them anyway, all of them are lame.

ADYN RICHIE: Yo, how about we all just chill and just enjoy this moment, I mean were in fucking Toyko sitting on the floor eating shit I can’t even pronounce, like can all of y’all chill out.

Adyn slams his silverware down on the table.

CHANEL SNOW: Yeah guys this is kind of embarrassing, I mean the chef is looking at us like we're crazy.

TRINITY MONROE: Yea girl, this is a bit much.



JALEN HOLMES: It doesn’t surprise me that everyone is acting a damn fool, I think this is one of the reasons why I got away from this group and with these new faces I’m happy I stayed away, the only reason I’m here is because Chanel asked me to attend but now I’m already regretting being on this trip.

Back at the table, we see Dax clenching his jaw. He wants to respond, but he also wants to be respectful of his friend, Chanel.

Benny claps his hands with each word.

BENNY MORENO: If. You. Want. The. Fight. To. Stop. Then. Stop. Fight. Ing-uh…

Dax closes his eyes for a second, and then puts a smile on his face. He looks over to Chanel.

DAX BECKETT: I apologize to you, Chanel, for my part in that. It's no more mature than Chase over there.

SKYE DEVEREUX: Me too. Sorry babes. Can I just say that I'm excited for this ball? Girrrrrrrrrl!

DAX BECKETT: Yes! I'm getting my lewk together in my head but I promise it will be talked about.

Skye snaps her fingers for Dax.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: Babe anything you wear will be a show stopper, for sure!

TRINITY MONROE: I'm so glad yall are excited. But let's be clear, yall better not bring this drama into my ball child.



TRINITY MONROE: No ma'am this ain't it honey.

The scene returns to the group.

Paris says, teasing Dax by gently stroking his beard.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: For the record, I ain’t apologizing for shit because iiiii didn’t actually do anything, but yeah back to what we were talking about before it was so rudely interrupted…

Paris smirks, taking a sip of his sake as he cuts his eyes from Benny to Chase, then to Chanel.

PARIS ALEKSANDER: This ball sounds sick. I’ve been to a few as a spectator and it’s always a good time. I can’t wait to see what everybody shows up in. Y’all better turn it out. Do you guys need any help judging? I am an Olympic champion after all…won a gold medal right here in Tokyo just last year as a matter of fact… and basically a gay pop culture icon at this point so having some real star power tied to this event would definitely be a good look.

ASANI LI: I'll be storming two categories so if yall happen to walk, just be prepared to go down.

She playfully jabs at the group.



ASANI LI: no tea, no shade. But all tea, all shade. It's undeniable. I do it on a daily basis. But it's cute they're all so excited.

She smirks as the scene returns to the group.

DALLAS REED: Already. You know I'm coming for that grand prize sex siren baby.



DALLAS REED: I'm actually mad excited for the ball. Even though I'm still not feeling a few people right now, none of that matters at the ball. I'm coming for grand prize and that's it. Og baby.

He licks his lips flirtatiously as the scene returns to the group. Everyone seems to have calmed down and goes back to enjoying their food and the chef's display of cooking.

ADYN: Oh I meant to tell you guys that Diamond, Alexis and Hunter said they were all drained from the flight which is why they aren’t here but I know they’re excited to be a part of the ball too.

The group all take a shot for the three that’s missing and the conversations continue, some side bars but majority of them are having a good time and the scene fades to black.
