CHAPTER 2. AN UNSPOKEN ATTRACTION

Scene_ EB Games filled with loud boys, Cyborg and Beast Boy both experimenting the latest Gamestation2 game.

Time_ December 6th, Late afternoon

(EBONY and IVORY enters the store. Everything grows quiet, only for a little whispering. Ebony and Ivory exchange glances)

EBONY: (Approaches counter) Hey Dan! (Dan grows nervous) Can you fill me in on the fifty latest games for the GBA?

DAN: Sure, E-Ebony, here, I knew you'd c-come someday. You are EB m-most valuable c-customer. Wait a s-second. (Exits, and comes back with a heavy burlap sack)

EBONY: Thanks you, how much for all that?

DAN: $2,614.24

EBONY: Are you sure only 50 games are worth that much? (Eyes glow red and dandelions sprout from the carpet near EBONY's feet)

IVORY: Here. (IVORY shells out a two hundreds from her Hello Kitty purse) I don't want you to throw a tantrum like the last visit, remember?

EBONY: Yea, with the tulips raiding the cashbox. Hehe, that was pretty awesome.

IVORY: Uh, no it wasn't.

EBONY: Right... but wait! Look at this! A Gamestation! Why can't I get one of those? Only about two hundred something bucks. That's unbelievably cheap!

IVORY: We can't buy that. It's not travel compatible. You know we are going to bounce around a lot. I don't want the extra luggage.

BEAST BOY: (Whispers to CYBORG) Did you hear that? Two hundred dollars for pocket money! (Awed) Who are they?

CYBORG: Well, they're known to buy bucket loads of video games from this place, and trashing it, every few weeks.

BEAST BOY: (Shocked) how do I not know about that?

CYBORG: Maybe because you have your eyes glued on the screen all the time.

BEAST BOY: Oh.

EBONY: (Facing IVORY) But but…

IVORY: No more whining. It's time to pay Dan now. (Shoves the two bills into EBONY's hands and urged her to the counter. IVORY whirls around and leans on the counter while EBONY begins counting the dollars. IVORY waves at CYBORG.)

BEAST BOY: (Whistles) Look who has the hots for you!

CYBORG: Not for me, I'm the wrong person. (Glances sideways)

BEAST BOY: (Crosses arms) Every guy knows that if I girl waves to you, you have to wave back! (BEAST BOY pushes CYBORG toward IVORY)

CYBORG: What! No! (CYBORG turns to BEAST BOY hissing) You. Are. Dead.

BEAST BOY: (Hurriedly points at IVORY)

CYBORG: Ack! I mean. Oh, hi there.

IVORY: Hello. I see that you were whooping your friend on that racing game.

CYBORG: (Sheepish grin) Uh, well. He was actually whooping me.

IVORY: (Shy smile) Hehe, my name is Ivory. (Extends hand)

CYBORG: I'm Cyborg of the Teen Titans. (Takes IVORY's hand and shakes it)

IVORY: I know that. The Teen Titans are literally famous in Ushigo.

CYBROG: Wow, I didn't know we had a rep there. Ushigo, huh? That's practically in the middle of nowhere. What brings you into the City?

IVORY: This is the nearest place where we can buy video games for Ebony, my little sister.

CYBORG: I'm curious, but how do you get the money to buy all those games for your sister? You come here at least once a month.

IVORY: (Laughs) You're quite the observer. I'm afraid I can't answer that, or else I'd…

CYBORG: Have to kill me?

IVORY: Exactly.

BEAST BOY: Hey! Cyborg, why don't you introduce us?

IVORY: Ah, you are Beast Boy, am I right?

BEAST BOY: Correct!

IVORY: A friend of Cyborg is a friend of mine.

EBONY: Okay. I'm done paying. Let's go Ivory. (Grabs Ivory by the arm and drags her)

IVORY: All right. I hope we meet again. (Dreamily waves)

CYBORG & BEAST BOY: Bye!

(IVORY and EBONY exit, EBONY is dragging bag loaded with games and IVORY in other hand)

BEAST BOY: Did I ever mention you act so weird around girls? You have to be smooth, suave, like me! And don't forget to ask for her digits! Remind me to teach you some few things about the opposite gender...

Ahaha... Ivory is hopelessly romantic. Review por favor!
