SCENE III
(Lily, Marlene and Alice are walking across the stage, chatting)
MARLENE
I know, right? So then he says "Rose Tyler, I-" AND FADES AWAY! By this point I'm pretty much bawl-
(Frank comes in and interrupts)
FRANK
Um, hey, Lily?
LILY
Wha- Oh, um, yeah?
FRANK
Well, I was wondering- I mean it's okay if you don't want to- but I was thinking that we could, you know-
MARLENE
Spit it out!
FRANK
Right, yeah, well I just wantedtoknowifyou'dmaybeliketogogetcoffeethisweeke nd...
LILY
Sorry?
FRANK
Yeah, sorry, I just asked if you'd like to get coffee this weekend...?
LILY
Oh, well, I don't know...
MARLENE
(whispers to Lily)
Come on, Lils! Loosen up! One date won't hurt anyone.
LILY
Fine. I guess I'll think about it.
(Frank starts walking away slowly)
MARLENE
Come on, Lils, have a little fun! He's a perfectly nice, cute guy!
LILY
I dunno... Alice, what d'you think?
ALICE
I think... I think you should do whatever you're comfortable with. And if that means saying no, then say no.
MARLENE
Oh, seriously? Step out of your comfort zone a little! Take a risk!
LILY
I guess... I guess I'll do it. Frank! Hey! FRANK!
FRANK
(runs back onstage)
Yeah?
LILY
Sure.
FRANK
Sure?
LILY
Yes. Sure. I'll get coffee with you. How about Saturday? At Starbucks? 2 o' clock?
FRANK
Really? Awesome! Yeah, Saturday sounds great. See ya!
(exits)
MARLENE
Aw, yeah! Finally! Lily got the balls to go on a date. Isn't this wonderful, Alice?
ALICE
(in a monotone, sarcastically)
Oh, yeah. Wonderful. Why, I feel as though I could burst from joy.
MARLENE
What's wrong, Ally? You sad 'cause you don't have a man yet?
ALICE
Something like that.
MARLENE
Don't worry, I'll get you one if it's the last thing I do! (runs off dramatically)
LILY
(Laughing)
She is insane. We should go make sure she doesn't run into a wall or something. You coming?
ALICE
Oh, no, you go ahead, I have to... Have to do... something. See you later.
LILY
(confused)
Um... Okay. Bye!
(walks offstage)
(James and Sirius walk in, Alice goes up to them)
ALICE
I need to talk to you guys. Especially you, James. I have some news you're gonna love.
JAMES
Oh, really. Well it must be big if a friend of Lily Evans is talking to me. Where is Lilypad, anyway?
ALICE
Funny you should ask. She actually just walked away. With a date.
JAMES
What do you mean, a date?
ALICE
I mean, numbskull, that Frank Longbottom asked her out and she said yes.
JAMES
Schlongbottom? She'll accept a date from him and not me?
SIRIUS
Wait wait wait, why are you telling us?
ALICE
Well, I may have the teensiest crush on Frank.
SIRIUS
Oh, I see. Jealous, are we?
ALICE
Maybe just a little...
SIRIUS
Ohhh now I see. You're hoping Jamesy here will get jealous and help you ruin their date so you can get the guy and he can get the girl.
ALICE
(Hopefully)
Would you?
(James and Sirius look at each other and grin)
JAMES
Alice, my dear, you have come to the right place. Come, let's have a little... Chat, shall we?
Yo. Anyone get the Doctor Who ref at the beginning? Haha I liked it. So, hope you liked this scene. R&R, it means so much please.
