The curtain opens into the forest scene again. Rose pops back out onto the stage and stands at the mic. "I bet you thought the play was over!" she gives a coy smile.

Dave appears around the curtain in a flurry of speed. "What do you mean? It's NOT over?"

Rose giggles and pokes Dave on the nose. "Of course it's not! You still haven't gotten your surprise Mr. strider."

"Oh!" Dave grins and shoves Rose towards the Mic. "Then lets get going!" Rose laughs and begins.

Red took his time walking back home with the Baker's son.

John walks out, hammer propped on his shoulder, and grabs Dave's arm leading him around the stage and weaving through the trees.

Grateful to the Baker's son for saving his life Red decided it was the perfect time to confess the feelings he'd been hiding for many years. With a thank you kiss.

"WHAT!?" Dave jerks away from John and turns to Rose. Fury all over his face. "That is not a funny joke Rose. I'm not gonna kiss John! He's my best bro! Don't use this play to fulfill your wild story fantasies!"

"Oh for the love of god!" John slams the hammer down with a thud and stomps over to Dave. "I spent months writing this play and hundreds bribing people to be in it. But all you've done nothing but pick fights with everyone in it, constantly bickering and whining! You even cut out a giant chunk of the middle! And then in the final scene, THE WHOLE REASON I WROTE THE PLAY you say NO!? Oh No! Oh HELL No! I am done with this! No more beating around the bush!" He grabs the red cape and drags the shocked blonde forward. With quick hands he rips the sunglasses off of his face and plants their lips together.

Cheers and wolf whistles sound out throughout the stage. And a few choice curse words from Karkat. John shoves Dave away and glares down at him. "You have to make everything difficult Dave. Don't you?" Dave just stands speechless, his face turning the same bright shade of red as his eyes.

"I think you broke him." Rose walks over and pokes Dave in the arm. He jerks away and stares wide eyed at the two of them.

"What... the... FUCK!?" He finally screams out. "You threaten me to be in this stupid play. Make me go through all this crap without a script. And then you KISS ME!? What the hell is even going on here!?"

John scowls. "You owed me. You obviously had fun doing it. AND I LIKE YOU OKAY!?" John blushes and looks down at his hands, fidgeting. "I really really like you Dave. I couldn't think of any other way to tell you."

Dave blinks slowly. Opens his mouth. Shuts it. Opens it again. "oh..."

Rose smiles and steps off of stage. Dave stares at the blushing fidgety John, then out at the camera. Then back at John again. His face turns from confusion to extreme Strider confidence and he steps forward grabbing John's collar and pulling him down into a quick kiss. "As far as confessions go, yours is very unique. May I suggest next time you want me to know how you feel you just say so the normal way? Like this: John, I really really like you too, I have for a long time, and I want that camera off now so I can show you without an audience."

"Your wish is my command little man." Bro's voice rings out from behind the camera and Cal's face takes up the whole screen before it blacks out.
