FAMILY COLORS
By Nicholas Robinson
When an interracial couple gets engaged after six months of dating without telling both of their kids, they discover that trying to put a blended family together isn't easy.
SYNOPSIS:
The Howard family consists of Leon, an African American office worker and single father, and his three children: Brandon, his oldest son who loves basketball but struggles with grades; Pete, his smart, autistic son; and Aaliyah, his youngest daughter. They live in a simple, middle-class Chicago home.
The Collins family lives in a beautiful suburban home and consists of Diane, a Caucasian stay-at-home party planner, and her three children: Miranda, her oldest daughter who is constantly on her phone; Stacy, her smart and liberal daughter concerned with environmental issues; and Max, her youngest and rebellious son who loves skateboarding and pranks.
Leon and Diane have been secretly dating for six months after reconnecting at their high school reunion. Leon, whose wife passed away two years prior, proposes to Diane, and she accepts.
They decide to have their children meet during lunch to see if they get along before revealing their engagement. However, the lunch quickly devolves into chaos with a food fight involving crazy string, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and salad dressing. Amidst the chaos, Leon accidentally reveals that he and Diane are getting married, much to the shock of all the children.
Two weeks later, the Howards move into the Collins' home. The children from both families express their displeasure and discomfort with the living situation and each other, leading to arguments. Despite the initial friction and the challenges of blending their families, Leon and Diane are committed to making their new family work, reflecting on their past and shared future. The episode ends with the families trying to adjust to their new life together, highlighting their blended household's ongoing humorous and challenging dynamics.

I read the story, I liked it, it had some funny moments like when the girl found out what a gold digger is and she wanted to be one I would consider making this a thirty minute comedy, there is room to move with this because on the set up in the pilot.
