Addison In Perth (Transcript)

As soon as Mr. Besson went to Singapore, the kids got an unwelcome guest. Zoe and Josh's sister, Addison.

Addison: Well well well, if it isn't my biological brother and adoptive sister from Asia. As well as my cousin, Hayden.

Josh: Why are you here?

Addison: Well, I won the court case to be your legal guardian while dad is gone. Over moving to Melbourne with your uncle, Walter.

Zoe: Why would you do that? You know that's cheating.

Hayden: Yeah, you never cared for me and took advantage of me. I lost a lot of insulin because of you.

Addison: Well, who cares, Hayden. Ray, come bring the luggages in this crappy house.

Josh: Why would you call this place crap? This is the suburbs and it's nice.

Addison: I'd rather live in the big city of Sydney rather live in the crappy outer suburbs.

That's when a young adult male came in and brought in the suitcases which most likely belong to Addison.

Ray: Hey.

Addison: This is my boyfriend, Ray. Ray, these are my crappy siblings and my cousin.

Ray: You know you shouldn't say that they're crappy just because they're from the suburbs.

Addison: Whatever.

Josh, Hayden and Zoe went back to their room because Addison is being so mean to them.

Josh: What a mean girl.

Zoe: I know. Addison is in uni and she should be acting more mature. Not go around making others do work for her.

Hayden: There's a difference between helping and taking advantage, right?

Zoe: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah.

That's when someone knocked on the door. Zoe and Josh used their telekinesis to bring out their weapons in case Addison's coming. Turns out, it was Ray. So the 2 siblings dropped their weapons.

Ray: Hey.

Josh: Phew.

Zoe: Thought you were Addison.

Ray: I know, you guys have to be really careful with Ad. She took advantage of me too.

Hayden: Yeah, me too. I was almost in a coma because of her.

Zoe: He has diabetes.

Ray: Look, she thinks she's the boss and I'm her assistant. But she just treats me like a slave.

Josh: That's terrible.

Ray: I know. So please, be careful around her.

Hayden: But she's their sister.

Ray: At least be careful.

Zoe: Okay.

Ray left the kids in their room knowing that Addison wouldn't look after them. But they were lucky that Ray would because he is like the caring big brother everyone wishes for.

Song: Heavy by Linkin Park and Kiiara

Josh: #I don’t like my mind right now #Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary #Wish that I could slow things down #I wanna let go but there’s comfort in the panic #And I drive myself crazy #Thinking everything's about me #Yeah, I drive myself crazy #'Cause I can’t escape the gravity #I'm holding on #Why is everything so heavy? #Holding on #So much more than I can carry #I keep dragging around what's bringing me down #If I just let go, I'd be set free #Holding on #Why is everything so heavy?#

Zoe: #You say that I'm paranoid #But I’m pretty sure the world is out to get me #It’s not like I make the choice #To let my mind stay so freaking messy #I know I'm not the center of the universe #But you keep spinning 'round me just the same #I know I'm not the center of the universe #But you keep spinning 'round me just the same #I'm holding on #Why is everything so heavy? #Holding on #So much more than I can carry #I keep dragging around what's bringing me down #If I just let go, I'd be set free #Holding on #Why is everything so heavy?#

Hayden: #I know I'm not the center of the universe #But you keep spinning 'round me just the same#

Zoe: #I know I'm not the center of the universe #But you keep spinning 'round me just the same#

All: And I drive myself crazy #Thinking everything’s about me#

Josh: #Holding on #Why is everything so heavy? #Holding on #So much more than I can carry#

All: #I keep dragging around what's bringing me down #If I just let go, I'd be set free #Holding on #Why is everything so heavy? #Why is everything so heavy? #Why is everything so heavy?#

Zoe: We should've gone with dad to Singapore.

Josh: Don't worry, he'll come back for us soon.

Hayden: Yeah..

Later, the kids were just discussing about random things when Ray came in and got them food.

Ray: Guys, eat up.

Josh: Why did you get us food?

Ray: It's the best I can. Addison wouldn't look after you so I need to do something about it.

Zoe: You're really nice to us, Ray, thank you.

Ray: Don't worry about it. I'll try to be the best big brother I could be before your dad comes home.

Hayden: Thank you so much.

Ray: You're welcome. I gotta go before Addison yells at me.

Ray left the kids in their room and closed the door so that Addison won't know that they're eating food. After eating, Zoe sneakily went downstairs to keep the dishes and wash them. She was about to head back to her room when Addison called her.

Addison: Hey! You think that you're going back to your room like some lazy kid. Go do some house chores.

Zoe: But I tidied up the house yesterday.

Addison: I don't want to hear you're Asian yapping. Go do some house chores.

Zoe: Why are you only making me do it when you have Hayden and Josh.

Addison: You're not part of this family, you're adopted. Because your parents in the Philippines don't care about you and abandoned you as a baby.

That's when Zoe's tears went down and her powers started acting up. Her telekinesis caused her to move one of Addison's best shirts and ripped it apart.

Addison: No! My shirt! How could you?

Zoe: Because you ripped my feelings just because I'm adopted, I ripped your favourite shirt.

Addison: How?

Zoe: You'll see about that.

Zoe went back to her room as Addison cried just because her favourite shirt is torn.

Ray: You know you shouldn't cry over a torn shirt.

Addison: Yes I can. She's adopted, how can she even do this?

Ray: Well, you shouldn't mistreat her just because she's adopted.

Addison: She's from the Philippines, she's poor and she should be treated like a maid.

Ray: Not all Filipinos are like that you know.

Addison: Well all Filipinos and Asians are the same. They're as worthless as Zoe.

Ray: Say that again and we'll break up when your dad comes home. I'll be going to Singapore with the kids so that I don't have to suffer under your wrath.

Addison: No!

Ray: Then treat everyone equally.

Meanwhile, the kids heard the discussion from downstairs.

Josh: Wow, Addison did mistreat you for being different in this family.

Zoe: No wonder why I've been insecure before she went to Sydney.

Josh: Yeah.

Hayden: Why would Addison mistreat you just for being Asian?

Zoe: Racism against Asians is so normalised.

Hayden: Oh.

Josh: I've been insecure too because I'm dyslexic. Addison has been mistreating me because of that.

Hayden: So Addison has been racist and ableist?

Zoe: Yup.

Josh: That's the perks of being different. We were happier when she moved out.

Hayden: You guys don't deserve to be mistreated just because of your disability and your race.

Zoe: It's too normalised now and we don't know what to do.

Hayden: I dunno.

Josh: Same.

Zoe: I hope dad comes home soon so that we could get out of this hell.

Josh: Yeah.

Hayden: Yeah.

Josh: I hope so.
