Lanny: [Tapping Reggie on the shoulder.]

Reggie: Yeah, Lanny?

Lanny:

Reggie: [Waits a second.] Yeah?

Lanny: [Throws his hands up in frustration.]

Reggie: Uh, hey man, don't what you're saying, but Melina's going to be here soon, so we shouldn't stay for too long.

Lanny: [Gives Reggie a questioning look.]

Reggie: She stole his RC car, the one he got for his birthday. Now he hates her. That was a couple weeks ago, and they still haven't spoken to each other. Didn't you hear about any of this from Matt?

Lanny: [Shakes his head.]

Reggie: [Pauses] Uh, no offense, Lanny, man, butwhy don't you ever speak?

Lanny: [Scratches his head, thinking.]

Reggie: Yes?

Lanny: [Shrugs.]

Reggie: [Looks uncomfortable.] Ah. Here comes Matt now!

[Matt enters angrily.]

Lanny: [Points to the side opposite of Matt.]

Reggie: And herecomes Melina.

[Melina enters, RC in hand.]

Matt: [Glares at her.] Having fun with MY RC?

Melina: Oh, jealous, are we?

Matt: That's mine! And you know it!

Melina: I don't know what you're talking about. You are so jealous.

Matt: Aargh, I just want to [Walks towards her, hands ready to strangle her.]

Melina: [Wags index finger at him.] Uh-uh, temper, temper, Matthew.

Matt: [With eyes lowered.] Oh, I despise you.

Melina: I think you need to find more effective ways to deal with your anger, Matthew.

Matt: [Drops down to his knees. Screams.] WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? I JUST WANT MY RC BACK.

Melina: Oh, I'll give it back to you.

Matt: [Anxiously.] You will?

Melina: [Grins evilly.] If you'll be my boyfriend.

Matt: Ewwww, I wouldn't be your boyfriend if you paid me a million bucks!

Melina: Like you've never fantasized about me. [Giggles.] Ta ta, Matthew!]

Matt: I truly despise that girl.

Reggie: I uhreally gotta go. [Runs after Melina.] Hey, Melina, I'll be your boyfriend! [Trails off.]

Matt: [To himself.] She won't get away with this. It's payback time. [Suddenly, an idea pops into his head. He brightens up, and turns to Lanny.] Lanny! Lanny, old pal. Good old Lanny.

Lanny: [Knows something's up.]

Matt: Do you know that potion your mom gave us a while ago? The one that's supposed tomake people fall in love?

Lanny: [Nods slowly.]

Matt: You still have it, right?

Lanny: [Continues to nod slowly.]

Matt: I was reading the bottle one day, andwell. [Spits out the sentence.] Did you know that if you put that stuff on the eyelids of a sleeping person, the next person they see will look insanely attractive to them?

Lanny: [Begins to smile at Matt's plan.]

Matt: Yes, Lanny. Put it on Melina's eyelids while she's asleep, and we've got ourselves some sweet revenge. [High-fives Lanny. Checks watch.] Oh, dang, almost time my dentist appointment. I'll see you tomorrow, right?

Lanny: [Nods.]

Matt: See ya, Lanny. [Exits.]

Lanny: [Sees Miranda and Ethan walking towards him, arguing. Hides behind a bush.]

Ethan: Miranda, Miranda, Miranda. I'm sorry, but I just [Gets distracted by a buzzing bee.]

Miranda: You don't what?!

Ethan: What? Oh. I just don't like you like that.

[A/N: I know. I barely ever update anymore. It's just that I don't like to make this writing feel like an assignment, and give myself a due date and everything. I really do enjoy writing it and whatnot.

Please note that just because I don't update for a really long time doesn't mean I'm abandoning my story. I could never abandon one of my stories. They are my precious little babies. Awww.

I'm so surprised that people actually like what I'm writing. I think most of what I write is really blah. Especially since I'm in the early chapters of every story I'm writing. ]
