Answer: Sample Response: Lexie realized that she'd feel terrible if she missed Sammy's big night. Picking up the phone, she called Jess. "Think we can go tomorrow night?" she asked. "It'll still be lots of fun -- and it might be less crowded too." After a second, Jess admitted that her sister was also in the finals! Lexie breathed a sigh of relief. Spelling bee tonight, movie tomorrow -- it looked like finally, the weekend was back on track.
Even though Tina told her to skip it, Lexie had a nagging feeling in her gut that if she missed her brother's spelling bee, he would be extremely disappointed in her as well as her parents. After a half an hour of going through the list of pros and cons she had written, she called Tina and told her that although she truly did want to go to the show with them, she thought that her family should always come before friends. Tina completely understood and when Jess heard the news, she was disappointed but came to terms with Lexie's decision. As soon as Lexie arrived at the spelling bee competition, her brother's face lit up with pure happiness and joy when he noticed that Lexie was there with their parents. This was the right decision. Lexie thought while she cheered on her brother. At the end of the championship, her brother won and they all went out to celebrate.
