Two weeks go by, and the Nine Flavas avoid Ebony-Grace, and she tries to purchase an airline ticket to see Granddaddy. She realizes she can take a cab to the airport and buy a ticket there. She then calls Granddaddy, but Momma answers. She says Granddaddy isn’t doing well, so she’ll have to wait to see him at the end of the summer. Ebony-Grace remains determined to visit her Granddaddy.
The Nine Flavas sell Kool-Aid to raise money for their crew, and Ebony-Grace has a quarter in her pocket, so she buys two cups. Diane comes over and asks them how much money they’ve made. Bianca holds out the quarter. They need $100 to get to the Apollo—$50 to sign up for the contest, and $50 for outfits. The girls ask Diane’s new boyfriend to help them, but he doesn’t have that kind of dough.
Reflecting on the lessons of Apollo 13, Ebony-Grace creates a new plan. She speaks to Bianca: If she gets the Nine Flavas into the Apollo, will she let Pablo join them? Also, can she teach her some of her moves?
