(Location: Los Angeles, CA. Grove Mall. 2:16 PM)
"Any reason why you asked to come here?" Lucy asked as she and Edith walked into 'Game Stop' at the mall. It had been about two days since they bought the 1967 Camaro for Gru and he was happy with it. He actually dreamed of owning one ever since he was a teenager. Lucy and Edith drove the Camaro into town to take it for a test run after Gru's minions made some modifications to the engine, radio, speakers, even built-in seat warmers.
"I'm going to a birthday party for someone new at school and I knew that there was a certain video game they wanted so I'm gonna get it for them" Edith explained. Lucy gave a look that said 'I know what this is really about' to Edith.
"This is for some boy isn't it?" Lucy asked. Edith began blushing and put her hands behind her back and circled her foot on the floor.
"His name is Clyde Williams, he moved here from Washington last year and I sat next to him in all my classes. So we're pretty close friends, but I've been trying so hard to win his heart the whole school year" Edith said. Lucy nudged her shoulder a bit.
"Ooh, trying to buy his affection with video games huh? Smooth" she playfully teased. Edith smiled and shrugged her shoulders a bit. They walked over to the 'New Releases' shelf and Edith saw what she wanted to get for Clyde.
"This is what he wants the most" Edith said when she showed Lucy the game.
"South Park: Stick of Truth, huh? Are you sure?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, it's one of the many things we have in common" Edith said. The two of them payed for the game and left. As soon as they got to the parking lot where the Camaro was parked, Edith saw something that caught her eye.
"Oh my gosh, mom" Edith said. Lucy knelt down to Edith's eye level.
"What is it?" Lucy asked. Edith turned Lucy's head over to exit of the mall to see Clyde Williams, her heartthrob. Clyde had Shane Dawson style brown hair, pasty white skin, brown eyes, and he wore a baseball t-shirt with red sleeves and a white body, black skinny jeans, and he was wearing black and red 'Puma' sneakers.
"Is that Clyde?" asked Lucy. Edith nodded and got that 'In Love' look on her face. All of a sudden, the radio in the car turned on all by itself and it began playing 'Drive' by The Cars.
Who's gonna drive you home?
Lucy heard those lyrics play and she went over to the driver's seat.
"Is there something wrong with this radio? There can't be, it's brand new" said Lucy. Edith just kept staring at Clyde as he walked down the sidewalk.
"Lucy, I wanna ask to give him a lift to his house" Edith said. Lucy smiled at this.
"Hop in the back and I'll roll the window down so you can get his attention" Lucy said. Edith got into the back seat. Lucy then started up the car and she turned the radio off, causing the song to stop playing as well.
"Clyde!" Edith called out through the window. Clyde turned around to see that the Camaro was driving by his side.
"Edith?" Clyde asked.
"Yeah. Listen, I was wondering if my mom and I could give you a lift home?" Edith asked. Clyde just smiled a bit and spoke.
"Alright, sure" Clyde said. Edith got excited, she opened the door up and let Clyde sit right by her. She couldn't believe her crush was in her car with her.
"Where we heading off to?" asked Lucy.
"Maple Avenue and Ripley street" Clyde said. Lucy began driving off to where Clyde specified and Edith hid her present for him underneath the driver's seat.
"So, how've you been?" Edith asked, trying to make conversation.
"Pretty good, just hung out with some friends for a movie. We went to see 'The Lego Movie' pretty good. What about you?" Clyde asked.
"Nothing much. I saw that movie too, I enjoyed it a lot. So did my younger sister" Edith said.
"You have a younger sister?" Clyde asked.
"And an older one. What about you? Any siblings?" asked Edith.
"Nope, I'm an only child. It's just me and my mom" Clyde said. Their conversation was cut off by the radio turned on by itself. The song was 'Kiss the Girl' by Ashley Tisdale.
Shalalala, my oh my! It's like the boy's too shy! Ain't gonna kiss the girl!
Lucy noticed the radio was acting weird and she tried turning it off, but it ended up changing to another station.The next song that played was 'Lovefool' by The Cardigans.
Love me! Love me! Say that you love me!
Edith and Clyde were weirded out by the situation with the radio. Edith was the one who was stressing out. She didn't want Clyde to think she was a stalker creep just because of a faulty radio.
"Clyde, I am so sorry about this. We just got this car and it has a LOT of problems" Edith apologized.
"I understand, don't worry" Clyde said.
"I'm just a friend, I'm not saying I like you in that way. You're a great friend, but I'm not saying I "Like" like you, that would be weird" Edith lied, she did have a huge crush on Clyde, but she didn't want him to know that. Edith mouthed the words 'Help me' to Lucy. She saw her in the rear view mirror and she nodded. This time, Lucy kicked the radio and the station changed again. The song this time was 'You Spin Me Round Like a Record' by Dead or Alive.
You spin me right round, baby! Right round! Like a record baby! Right round, round, round!
Lucy kicked the radio again and this time it stopped. They realized they were at Maple Avenue and Ripley street, and in front of Clyde's house.
"So, I'll see you at my party on Saturday?" Clyde asked.
"Sure. I'll definitely make it" Edith said. Clyde then launched himself forward and caught Edith in a hug. Edith returned the hug and let go.
"Thanks for the ride, see ya" Clyde said. He got out the car and shut the door. He looked behind him and waved Edith goodbye until Saturday.
"He seems sweet" Lucy said.
"Are you kidding me? He's PERFECT!" Edith cried out. She then lied down on her back in the back seat and sighed, she was so in love with Clyde it was all she could think about.
