-1Scene XVI: Later that night. The boys bedroom

Drake and Josh have spent most of the evening in complete silence. The news of Megan's ordeal with Neal did not rest well with them, to say the least. Josh was trying hard to concentrate on a weekend homework assignment, while Drake sat on his bed fooling around with his Fender acoustic. They may be going through the motions of their chosen tasks, but their minds are on Megan. The silence in the room is deafening.

Josh sighs heavily and runs his hands through his hair. It was as if overnight that Megan went from the demonic little sister with whom he lived in fear to this scared young woman who needed protecting. How did all this happen so quickly? As with Megan, Josh also wishes that his parents were home to help with the situation.

Drake can't stop thinking about the conversation he had with Neal a few weeks ago. What started out so innocently as a bit of advice about girls over sodas at the Premiere has come back to haunt him in a drastic way. At the time, he thought that talking to Neal about girls was just that: talking to him about girls. Girls in the generic term. He didn't in his wildest dreams think that the charm he put on girls his age would come back to hurt Megan. Drake begins to reconsider his intentions towards girls. If he influenced Neal, who else has witnessed his modus operandi and is using it now?

Josh: I can't concentrate. I'm gonna watch some tv.

He gets up from the desk and plops himself down on the couch with exasperation. Drake just looks at him go over to the couch. He can't say anything. He feels so guilt-ridden about the events of the day that he can't even bring himself to speak to anyone. He wonders if Josh blames him for any, if not all, of this.

Josh: Drake. Wanna watch a movie? That Lindsay Lohan movie you like is just about to start.

Drake: No thanks, man. I think I'm gonna go out and get some fresh air.

Josh: You ok, man?

Drake: How could this happen to Megan? I mean, she's just a little girl. And a demon to boot. How could anyone possibly be interested in her?

Josh: If you're gonna go out for a ride, I'm coming with you.

Drake: Sure. Chez Taco?

Josh: I'll get my jacket.
