Drake and Josh
Episode 07: The School Dance
The Two Boxes
"Dad always says that with a little hard work, anything is possible," said Drake, "Except wetting the sofa. It doesn't need hard work."
"Dad says that you can do anything you put your mind to," said Josh.
"It's truth," said Drake.
"It's a lie! LIE!" exclaimed Josh.
"I tried to play baseball once," said Drake, "I scored a home run! But the ball hit dad in the face."
"I tried to use a skateboard," said Josh, "I crashed into the behind of a garbage truck and flew in!"
"So, if you try hard enough," said Drake.
"If you're gonna fall into a garbage truck," said Josh.
"You can achieve your goal," concluded Drake.
"You'll clamber out a dirty, dirty person," finished Josh.
Introduction
"Hey, Dra- Ohatoo!" exclaimed Josh as a potato missed him by inches, "I thought you said you'd throw your Potato Launcher away after you detonated my ankle!"
"Ohatoo?" asked Drake, sniggering.
"What up with the Potato Launcher?" asked Josh.
"Well, mom and dad don't know," he said, accidentally lying down on the trigger, "Nothing bad'll-"
A potato went flying into Josh's face and knocked him out.
"DRAKE!" cried Walter, "What was that loud noise?"
""Oh!" shouted down Drake, "THAT WAS JUST THE…THE HIPPOPOTAMUS!"
The Story
"Dude, you asked Mindy to the school dance yet?" inquired Drake, opening up his locker.
"No," said Josh, "I'm nervous."
"Don't be nervous," said Drake, "She's your girlfriend."
"Yeah," said Josh, "But still…"
"There she is!" exclaimed Drake pointing at the other side of the room, "Go ahead and ask her!"
Mrs. Hafer walked past and said, "I hate you, Drake."
"I know," said Drake.
Meanwhile, Josh walked up to Mindy and asked her, "So, Mindy, how's ya doin'?"
"Good," said Mindy.
"So, uh… you want to go to the dance with me?" he asked.
"Josh, I'm sorry but," she said, looking away, "Eric asked me out first."
"You agreed?!" shouted Josh, jumping up and hitting his head on the locker, then falling down with his, "Haaa!"
"I'm your boyfriend!" he exclaimed, climbing up, "Why would you-"
"I'm sorry, Josh," said Mindy, "When you didn't ask me in the first three weeks, I got scared you would never ask."
"But-"
"I'm very sorry," said Mindy, walking off.
In his gesture for his quote "Megan!" Josh shouted, "Eric!"
--------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe this…" said Josh, pacing around in his room while Drake was on his bed eating a burger, "Why would she go with Eric?"
"Yarf curf sarbotage Errc," suggested Drake, his food flying off.
"What? Stop talking with your mouth full!"
"Alright! You could talk to Eric and tell him about yourself and Mindy. He might feel bad, and that's all there is to it! Before you know it, Mindy's gonna be on the dance floor with you!"
"That's brilliant!" shouted Josh.
"Well, I try," said Drake.
"So, asked out a girl yet?" inquired Josh.
"Yep, three," said Drake, "Stacey's at 10:00, Carmella's at 10:30 and Cindy's at 11:00."
"So, didn't they argue?" asked Josh.
"Nope," said Drake, "Never known about each other, never will!"
--------------------------------------------------
Josh rang the bell at Eric's house. Creg answered it and allowed Drake and Josh in.
"What's up, Eric?" asked Josh.
Eric saw Drake and said, "Nope, no errands for you."
"Actually, Eric, you see, Mindy's my girlfriend," said Josh, "And you asked her to the ball."
"Yeah, she was worried you didn't ask in time," said Eric.
Drake opened up the fridge and pulled out a can of Moca Cola.
"Yeah, but I did ask her later!" said Josh.
"So?"
"Can't you ditch her or something?"
"Sorry, no can do."
Suddenly, a spurt of Moca cola made everyone jump. Josh, Creg and Eric saw Drake with the can of Moca Cola.
Drake licked his lips and said, "Eww…. I hate diet."
--------------------------------------------------
Josh confronted Mindy in the classroom the next day.
"Okay, why'd you agree with Eric?"
"I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't ask…"
"I can't believe this!"
"Josh, I-"
Josh marched off and fell down. Mindy watched Eric walk down the hall and stopped him.
"Listen, Eric," said Mindy, "I want to go to the dance with Josh, is that okay?"
"Alright," said Eric, "Guess it's back to scrubbing bathrooms." He walked off, looking down.
--------------------------------------------------
Mindy walked up to the port and saw Josh sulking at the edge of a port.
"Josh?" she asked, walking up to him, "I'll go with you to the dance."
"Ha?" asked Josh, climbing up.
"I informed Eric," she said.
"R…really?" asked Josh, jumping up.
"Yes," replied Mindy, leaning towards Josh. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked off.
"YES!" shouted Josh, dancing around. He suddenly saw the time and said, "Aw, man! I missed Oprah!"
--------------------------------------------------
In the dance hall, Josh told Drake about what had happened the previous night.
"Great," said Drake, "Congrats!"
Mindy walked up to Josh and gave him her hand. "Shall we?" she asked.
Josh and Mindy waltzed off and Drake watched.
"Drake?" asked Stacey, walking in followed by Carmella and Cindy, "You asked these two here as well?"
"Oh," said Drake as the three girls walked towards them with angered faces.
Drake sped off and pounced out of the window. Stacey walked forward and picked up Drake's pants from the window sill.
"Could you throw that back?" asked Drake.
