Chapter 3- Strange Encounter…

\Pretty much all of the Simon POV sections are VERY short since he's talking to himself…You can probably figure out the POV…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(On a busy street)

Renaldo- Simon?

Simon- No!

Renaldo- Sorry…I thought you were Simon Cowell…Who are you then?

Simon- I'm…uh…(looks around) Joe…Bell!

Renaldo- Ah! I'm Renaldo Lapuz!

Simon- Oh I know…

Renaldo- What?

Simon- I, uh, remember you on TV…

Renaldo- Oh! You must watch American Idol! Are you a fan?

Simon- (muttered) Oh, trust me, I'm MORE than a fan…Oh! I have to go…My friends! Lila! Davids! Angel! Danny! Adam! Uh…whatever your name is…

Lila- Oh! Hi Simon!

Renaldo- Simon?

Cookie- Uh…no…We just call him Simon because, um…Danny, do you remember why?

Danny- Because, uh…he looks like Simon!

Renaldo- I'm going to keep looking…

Archy- For what?

Renaldo- Simon! *skips away singing Brothers Forever*

Simon- That was close…Wait! How did you know…

Angel- Uh, Paula?

Lila- You DO know I live next door, right?

Simon- Well he WAS pretty loud…I'm going to go avoid my stalker…See you…some other time…*leaves*

Kris- *running down street* Have any of you seen a crazy red haired girl named Allison?

Adam- You mean the one who running lovingly towards you?

Kris- Yeah…that one…Hide me! *hides behind Caylee*

Caylee- Yeah, cause I'm SO tall…

Allison- KRIS?!? ARE YOU HERE?!?

Kris- (to Caylee) So…are you single?

Caylee- WHAT?!?

Kris- (whispered to Caylee) Work with me here…My girlfriend and I are…fighting…She won't leave me alone…

Caylee- And I'm supposed to care about your problems…why?

Kris- Because you love me baby!

Caylee- Uh…sure…

Kris- That's right…

Allison- Kris! And…who are you…

Kris- Oh! Alli! This is my new friend, uh…

Caylee- Caylee!

Allison- Kris, don't you mean GIRLFRIEND, cause she's right here if you're confused…

Kris- No! I-I was just telling Caylee that I have a girlfriend! She's a little, uh, infatuated…

Allison- Oh…I suggest you stay away from my Krissy Wissy or else! Come on Kris! *leaves, dragging Kris behind her*

Kris- Call me!

(All staring blankly)

Danny- Wow…he's gotten even crazier…

Cookie- I wonder how Katy's handling this…

Lila- I heard they're keeping her "locked up"…When Kris told her, she went after him with gardening equipment…

Archy- Well, he always was strange…

Adam- Maybe he hit his head when he jumped out the window!

Angel- Well, for once, Adam might be right…Scary…

Lila- I did hear a squirrel over the phone when he fell…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Running into house)

Simon- I finally lost him! I guess I'll call that hotline again…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Phone rings)

Cookie- Let me try this time! *answers with accent* Hello?

Simon- What's with this number and that accent…? Anyway, I'm trying to get rid of a stalker…

Cookie- *with accent* Oh! Yes! Did you call last night?

Simon- Yes! Wait…why?

Cookie- *with accent* Everyone's talking about this case…Now my suggestion is to talk to him. Maybe he'll stop bothering you if you sort everything out!

Simon- Okay. I'll call back…*hangs up*

Archy- Um…Angel…Th-there's something I've decided I don't want to keep to myself anymore…When I sang Angels, I knew I'd find an angel one day, and I think I have…

Angel- Awh! That's so sweet, but we're just not right for each other…You're so…innocent…and I'm-

Archy- Oh! I'm-I'm sorry, I-I don't know why I said all that…*sighs*

Danny- C'mon guys! You'll miss Simon talking to Renaldo Lapuz!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Renaldo- Ah! The great Simon has decided to come on!

Simon- Renaldo…We have to talk…

Renaldo- Anything! I will tell the great Simon what he wants to hear! I will do what he wants me to do!

Simon- Great. Get lost. And don't come back. Ever.

Renaldo- Whatever pleases you, I will do. Though I cannot guarantee that we will never meet again…*leaves*

Simon- I can't believe that actually worked…I actually got rid of him…He'll probably come back anyway, but… *goes inside*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cookie- That wasn't as funny as I thought it would be, but at least he left…We can all get some sleep…

Lila- Uh, David, you DO realize that you live all the way on the OTHER side of the city, right? Even Renaldo Lapuz can't be THAT loud…

Cookie- Uh…

(Phone rings)

Adam- Ooh! I'll answer this! *With accent* Hulloooooooo?

Simon- You guys are geniuses! He actually left!

Adam- Yes. Great to hear your story…Bye. *hangs up* I nailed that…

Lila- No comment…

Caylee- At least you didn't scream into the phone…

(Doorbell rings while someone frantically knocks on the door)

Lila- *answers door*

Kris- Can I come in? Great. *runs on couch*

Lila- Sure…you can come in…

Caylee- Oh great…you're back…

Kris- Yeah, I'm back baby!

Caylee- *runs to room away from Kris, as he tries to sit next to her*

Cookie- Wow…

Allison- *running through open door* Has anyone in THIS house seen…Kris! What are you doing here?

Caylee- *walking downstairs* I heard someone come in…

Allison- YOU! *Runs threateningly towards Caylee* What did I tell you about staying away from Kris Carly?

Caylee- Caylee.

Allison- WHATEVER!

Cookie- Allison, don't you knock?

Allison- I was gonna, but YOU left the door open…

Kris- Allison, I can explain…

Allison- Don't bother! We're over.

Kris- That's what I've been trying to explain to you for the last week!

Allison- *leaves*

(Caylee sits next to Kris, who now looks overly ecstatic…)

Caylee- This was the only seat left, so I had to sit here…

Lila- Caylee, I need a seat. *pushes Caylee into Kris' lap*

Caylee- Thanks!

Lila- I knew you'd thank me one day!

Kris-Thanks!

Lila- Caylee, just give up. You know you love him…

Caylee- I can't take this anymore! I'm going to do to you what I've wanted to do since I met you! *kisses Kris*

Kris- I knew you loved me! *kisses Caylee*

Danny- Ya think we should…

Lila-Yeah, let's go to the other room…

(Others walk into office)

Cookie- Archy, is something wrong? You've been really quiet…

Archy- It's nothing…I'm fine…

Lila- *walking over* It's okay…Just tell me…Was Angel a bitch to you?

Angel- Archy…I didn't mean to hurt you…I just didn't think you could love someone like me…

Archy- So that means…

Angel- Yes David, I like you!

(Archy and Angel kiss)

Lila- Let's go…

(Danny, Lila, Adam, and Cookie leave and go to Lila's back porch)

Lila- Wow…I've pretty much left my own home…At least my friends are happy…

Cookie- What about you?

Lila- Me? Oh! I'm fine! I'm not them. I don't need somebody…

Cookie- Oh cause I was going to say…*whispers* I love you.

Lila- Nevermind! I love you too! *Lila and Cookie kiss*

Danny- Sorry we can't leave…we don't really know your house…

Adam- Uh, yeah…

Danny- Maybe Caylee and Kris are done…

(Adam and Danny leave)
