What has happened
This and the rest of the heart scenes will take place after a touching scene with Bob and Gwen, and then the song If I Want To Marry. I really should be doing these in order, since I have them written, but that would be much too nice of me. Maybe later I'll reorder them.
The town is abuzzing with romance as the Starry Night Festival approaches. A villager says that apparently, you see a new couple 'no matter where you go'. so to investigate, Tina goes to spy on her many friends. This is shown by many short songs that have the set changing rapidly, which may be awkward on the play. I'll figure that part out later. I don't know which order thses will go it yet, but this scene is Maria and Ray's, one of the first I wrote for this musical.
Enjoy!
(SCENE: The town Library, where Maria sits at the counter. Ray walks in obviously awkward and shy.)
Maria: Are you looking for something?
Ray(startled): Ah! Y-you startled me!
Maria: Oh my, I'm sorry. If you are looking for a book, I'll be happy to help.
Ray: Well... How about a fishing book?
Maria: Let's see... I don't thank a beginner's manual would help you. I'm sorry, our selection isn't the best right now. (steps closer)
Ray: (jolts) D-don't! It's fine! I'm fine! I'll be leaving now!
Maria: I'm sorry...
Ray(exiting, now outside library but still on stage): (to crowd) I don't do well with pretty girls. I get nervous, and don't know what to say...
Maria (poking head out): Good bye.
Ray: Ah! (runs off stage)
Maria: Mr. Fisherman, perhaps you're in a bad mood today? You're usually quite content... (music starts, begin Mr. Fisherman as she walks back inside)
Maria: Mister Fisherman, what is it, that I do
That always no matter what the occasion, agitates you?
Mister Fisherman, tell me what I'm, doing wrong
That you always seem so much more at ease, when you're out there with your rod?
Your presence tend to make me feel self conscious
I find I want to impress you, and live up to your expectations
Mister Fisherman, when you leave me, here alone
I'm often left here dreaming, and recenbtly I've been thinking
Mister Fisherman, what is it, I must do
To become your catch of the day? Mister Fisherman... Ray.
