107 – My Jinxie Valentine

February 14th, 10:57 PM

Normally, most students go home on the weekends; leaving the campus looking like a ghost town. However, tonight's Valentine's party created a lot more holdovers. In the school auditorium, the party is well underway; nearly an hour in. Couples, single folks, even some faculty members are in attendance.

Logan and Garth arrive in the school auditorium. Logan is wearing a brown collared shirt with khakis. Garth has on a white collared shirt, blue tie and black slacks. Logan asks him, "Plenty of fine ladies to choose from. Sweet! Hey, is Raven coming?"

Garth replies, "Nah, she went home for the weekend. You know her. 'Holidays are meaningless. Love is meaningless.' "

"Yeah, she should definitely work for Hallmark."

Suddenly, Nicole comes up to them. She has a red dress with red pumps. She frantically asks, "What's up, guys? Have you seen Wally? I was just with him five minutes ago."

Garth replies, "No. We just got here." Nicole grits her teeth, lets out a groan and walks off. He tells Logan, "Someone's in trouble."

Nicole walks by dancing couples when she finally spots him. He's off to the side hanging with a few of his boys. He's got on a white dress shirt, black slacks, red suspenders and a red bowtie. Nicole confronts him and expresses her dismay. "Hey!" Wally's friends scatter.

Wally tells her, "Hey, I was looking all over for you. I thought I'd just stand here so you could see me more easily. I don't know where those guys came from."

"Seriously? I can't believe you would pull this BS with me. I know we're here as friends, but we are still here together. This is Valentine's Day. Could we dance already?"

"We just danced 30 minutes." Nicole just leers at him. "Okay, okay, we'll dance. Just try to resist grabbing on my butt. I'm not a piece of meat."

"You wish."


Logan and Garth observe as Victor and Karen are slow dancing in bliss, while Wally & Nicole are less than cordial. Victor is wearing a gray suit with Karen wearing a light yellow dress. Logan looks behind him to see Richard seating by himself. Richard has on a dark red suit.

Logan yells out, "Yo, Richie! What's up, dude? Why so glum?"

Richard replies, "Nah, I'm fine. I'm just waiting on Kory to come."

"Oh. She stood you up, huh?" Garth punches him in the arm.

Garth reassures him, "Don't sweat it, Richie. She'll show." All of a sudden, three girls come up to them.

One of the girls says, "Hey Garth! You and your boys wanna dance?"

Garth and Logan are down, but Richard not so much. "Thanks, but no thanks. I'll just wait here for Kory."

Logan bellows out, "Oh come on!"

Garth wonders, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, you guys go ahead." Garth and Logan oblige and head to the dance floor with the three lovely ladies.


Wally and Nicole are at the punch bowl. Wally takes some for himself, but not for her. Nicole just looks at him in disbelief that he wouldn't offer her a cup.

Wally asks, "Oh, did you want some?"

"Okay, that's it! I'm out of here!" She stalks off with Wally goes after her. Wally finally stops her outside, a few feet in front of the auditorium entrance.

"Nikki, what's your problem?"

"Tonight, you're my problem. You're being a dick."

"Something tells me you're not talking about Richie."

"No, I'm not. I only wanted one night where you weren't trying to joke around. I thought there was something more to you than just being a joker. After tonight, you proved there's no substance to you."

Wally asks, "So, I don't have substance?"

"None that I can see, at least."

Wally gets serious. "Look, I asked you here so we could have fun together. I'm not here to tick you off. This is who I am; you know this already. If you don't like it, maybe Garth or Richie or whoever can show you a better time. I'll be inside so hopefully I can change your mind. And don't forget to tie your shoes. How's that for substance?" Wally storms back inside.

Nicole says to herself, "What a dummy he is. Plus, I don't even have laces on these shoes." She looks down at her shoes and is shocked to see a single red rose with a card.

She picks up the card and reads it. "May love and happiness surround you always. Happy Valentine's Day, Nicole. Your favorite (and only) partner, Wally West." Nicole puts her hand over her mouth in shock.

Karen comes outside to check on her friend. "Nikki, are you okay? What did he do now?"

Nicole replies, "He's so sweet. I'm such a idiot."

"Huh?" At that moment, rose petals start falling on top of them. Nicole's smile is from ear-to-ear. She runs back inside to look for Wally.

Karen stands there wondering, "Wow. How did you pull this off, Wally?" The falling rose petals were courtesy of Garth, Victor and Logan on the top floor.

Garth says, "Wally was right on. He did chase her outside."

Victor adds, "And this was all his idea, too. There may be hope for you too, Logan."

Logan replies, "Please. I have enough game already." Garth and Victor laugh as they head back downstairs. "Don't walk away from me. You know I'm the man."


Wally stands amongst the crowd as he watches people dance. Suddenly, Nicole charges into him from behind and gives him a big hug.

Still looking forward, Wally says, "I hope that's not you, Dr. Moderick." He then turns around to face her.

Nicole replies, "Far from it. I can't believe you. That was a very nice thing you did for me back there. When did you put this rose under me? And the rose petals…"

"I'd tell you, but making you wonder makes it all the more fun. You said you wanted special; I gave you special. The process was rough, but the result was the payoff. Your smile made it all worthwhile."

"Ah, thank you, Wally." She gives him another big hug. Without her knowledge, Wally throws a thumbs up to his three boys, who return the gesture. Meanwhile, Richard is on the phone calling Kory again, but still no answer.

A voice behind him says, "I hope I didn't waste too much of your anytime minutes." He turns to see that it's Kory. She has a red turtleneck sweater and black slacks.

"Kor! You made it."

Kory says, "Yes, finally. I'm so sorry I took so long. I got here as quick as I could. I hope you've been having a good time and not just sitting here waiting on me."

"Uh, no. I've been dancing, talking, having a good time." What a liar, that Richard. "You look great, by the way."

"Thanks, Richard; so do you. Hey, there are the guys. Do you want to go over there or do you want to dance? Oh, you must be tired of dancing since you've been here so long."

Richard responds, "No, no, no. Option 2 sounds good. I think I can muster up another dance." Richard and Kory head to the dance floor as Wally, Nicole, Victor, Garth, Logan and Karen observe.

Wally says, "That lucky son of a bitch. Of course, not as lucky as I am right now."

Nicole tells him, "Good answer."

Garth asks, "So, are we gonna stand here or shall we join them?

Wally says, "As the professor would say, 'let's boogie, duckies!' " They all head out to the dance floor.
