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.
