Walter:What do you want to do for dinner?

Audrey:The kitchen looks like a earthquake hit it, this go out for dinner. What time does Josh get off work?

Walter:Five Thirty. He should be home soon. Where do you want to go for dinner?

Audrey:How about Olive Garden?

Walter:Sounds good. I need to get a shower.

Audrey:So do I.

Walter: Do you want to go first?

Audrey:No, you can go ahead.

Walter:Ok.

He heads to the shower.

5 minutes after Walter gets out of the shower Audrey gets in & out. She gets dressed. She is in the Living Room when she hears the backdoor open.

Audrey:Meghan, Drake is that you?

Meghan & Drake come into the Living Room.

Audrey:Where were you two?

Walter comes in.

Audrey:Sweetie go get dressed please.

Meghan looks at Drake feeling bad for him. She goes upstairs.

Walter:Where were you?

Audrey:What did I tell you?

Drake:I'm sorry mom but...

Walter:No excuses.

Drake:Mom.

Audrey:Sit.

Drake is getting pretty angry at this point.

Walter: Drake your mother asked you to do something.

Drake:No! Listen to me!

Audrey: Drake!

Drake leaves the Living Room not even caring that he left two upset parets in there.

Back in the living room.

Walter gets up to go talk to Drake.

Audrey:No.

Walter:Why not?

Audrey:Give him a few miutes to calm down & then I'll go talk to him.

Meghan comes down dressed in a clean t-shirt & shorts.

Meghan:What did you do to him?

Audrey:Nothing.

Meghan:He had a good reason for being late. You would have been proud of him mom, I was.

Walter:What are you talking about?

Meghan:We lefted the library at closing time & we saw a girl about Sixteen who had a bag full of books. These two guys came up to her knocking her bag of her shoulder & then pushed her down. Drake want off & told those two jerks to beat it. They did, but I think they just lefted because they didn't want to get in trouble with their parents. Anyhow after they lefted he helped her get up & helped pick up her books. We introduct ourselves but then she had to go.

Audrey:We did it again.

Walter:Its hard.

Audrey:I know.

Walter:Its going to take time.

Audrey:His going to have to learn to be patience..

Walter:We're going to have to learn to trust him.

Audrey goes upstairs & knocks on the boys' door.

Drake had calmed down, he unlocked the door.

Audrey:Hey. Can I come in?

Drake:I don't know can you?

Audrey:Very cute & funny. May I come in?

Drake:Yes you may.

Audrey:I could slap you.

Drake:I'll pass. I still have the mark from the one yesterday.

Audrey:We're sorry about downstairs.

Drake:I'm sorry too mom. I shouldn't have walked away, but I'm exhausted & at the time it seemed better then ending up in a fight.

Audrey:Its going to take time.

Drake:I know.

Audrey:Have I told you I loved you today?

Drake:Yes. I love you too.

Audrey:You still love me even when I can't shut my mouth longer enough to let you explain?

Drake:Yes. You still love me when I'm a knockhead.

Audrey:I haven't heard that in a long time.

Drake:I personally think you gave that up for use my full name.

Audrey:I had to come up with something that would get your attentain. We're going out to eat so get dressed. Do you feel up to going out?

Drake:Mom I said I was exhausted. I'm not dead.

Audrey:Oh silly me how could I think that? Your three favorite things are Food, girls & guitars. I'm very proud of you. It was nice what you did for that girl.

Audrey starts to leave.

Drake:Hi mom?

Audrey:What?

Drake:What's that feeling you get after meeting a nice person of the opposite sex?

Audrey:Love. Why?

Drake:No reason.

Audrey:Ahhh! My baby boy is in love!

Drake:Hey keep your voice down. You can't possible fall in love when you just meet the person.

Audrey:I did.

Drake:I don't like this feeling.

Audrey: Don't fight it. Thats all I can say.
