History Series / OneOnOne

* OverprotectiveDad: Flex can be this at times as he worries Breanna will end up becoming pregnant at a young age like her mother did. It's later revealed that much of his over protectiveness is out of fear that Breanna will allow men to treat her the same way that ''he'' treats women.

* AlliterativeName: '''B'''reanna '''B'''arnes

* DownerEnding: The season 3 episode of "Stepmom, Misstep." Flex and Natalie call off their engagement and break up with Breanna changing classes from Natalie's art class just to be on the safe side. The B-plot didn’t end much better with Duane hoping to see his long lost father, only to enter into an empty apartment, and find his father’s hat.

** Breanna was that at least in Season 1 for her audition to [=McKinley=] School of the Arts. It’s a good thing she’s a better actor. That is [[IronyAsSheIsCast ironic]] as Kyla Pratt is actually a good singer.
** Arnaz really got hit hard with this in Season 4. He wants to be a rock star and can play guitar, but he cannot sing well at all. Even Spirit pointed out how he’s getting worse at singing:

** Flex, paticularly in the early seasons.

* ReTool: Season 5. It focuses on Breanna and Arnaz's college life.

* DownerEnding: The season 3 episode of "Stepmom, Misstep."

The show underwent a notable {{retool}} in the fifth season, with Flex reduced to a recurring character with the show instead focusing on Breanna and Arnaz after they moved to UsefulNotes/LosAngeles.

Flex works for the fictional WYNX-TV in UsefulNotes/{{Baltimore}}, resides in the ultimate bachelor pad, and lives the life of luxury. He is a ladies' man who wants to be both a responsible parent and a best friend to Breanna. Flex is very protective of his daughter, especially with boys. He has only had a couple of serious relationships, one of which was Breanna's mother Nicole Barnes (Tichina Arnold), whom he impregnated at the age of 18. When Nicole takes a job in Nova Scotia, Nicole allows Breanna to live with Flex.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Not only does Breanna put aside her feelings for Arnaz to console him after he and Michelle split up, ending her own relationship with Calvin in the process, she also [[spoiler: lends Arnaz her car]] so he can follow Michelle to the mountains to try to win her back. For a consolation prize, if one can call it that, she ends the episode and the series [[spoiler: with D-Mack]].

* LoveDodecahedron: Arnaz liked Breanna but she only liked him as a friend, then he started dating Ginger. After a while, Breanna starts dating Josh. Arnaz breaks it off with Ginger, then starts having feelings for Breanna again, so Breanna is forced to choose and chooses Arnaz. But then Ginger teams up with Josh to break them up by claming to have slept with Arnaz, while Josh appears shirtless in Breanna's apartment as an OperationJealousy ploy. Then Breanna decides that she and Arnaz are BetterAsFriends so they don't end up like Breanna's parents, but then they get back together later. Then Breanna is jealous of the attractive new singer in Arnaz's band. Then when they get to Los Angeles, they break up mid-season and start dating other people, only for Breanna's new boyfriend to break up with her when he realizes she's still in love with Arnaz. Breanna ends up sleeping with D-Mack. And then the series ends.
