(Our story begins at Tom and Jerry's house, where Spike is eating in the kitchen until the phone rang)
Spike: Hello. Who is it? ... I told you to stop calling this house! ... There's no way Jerry has a girlfriend.
(Jerry runs in, right in cue)
Jerry: Spike, no! Gimme that!
(He grabbed the phone out of Spike's hand)
Jerry: Hello?
(It was Michelle Beaks from Harvey Beaks)
Michelle: Jerry! Heyyyyy!
(Spike is watching all this behind him.)
Jerry: Well, if it isn't Michelle Beaks, my girlfriend!
(Spike's Jaw Dropped)
Spike: IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! I'M LOSING IT!!!
(He ran out of the kitchen screaming)
Jerry: So what's up, Michelle?
Michelle: Well, me and my family just got back from Hawaii, and I was wondering if you wanted to hang out.
Jerry: Let's do it! Wait... No mushy stuff, right?
Michelle: No, gross! I just wanted to see the Mario Movie. Mushroom Kingdom!
Jerry: Here We Come! Ha-ha! Let's go see it tonight!
Michelle: Great! The only thing is my parents can't take me tonight, my brother is hanging out with his friends, and they won't let me go without a chaperone. Do you know anyone who could take us?
Jerry: Hmm...
(He looks to his left as a sigh comes from Tom)
Tom: You're supposed to get rid of anything that doesn't spark joy.
(He picks up a small spoon)
Tom: But every single one of you guys sparks joy to me!
Jerry: I know just the guy. See you soon!
(He hangs up, then walks up to Tom)
Jerry: Hey Tom! Can you drive me and Michelle to the movies later?
Tom: You've been hanging out with Michelle a lot recently.
Jerry: Uh Yeah, She's my girlfriend!
(Tom's Jaw Dropped Wider Than Spike's)
Jerry: Yeah, she's real fun and cool and likes doing pranks with me. Anyway, you wanna chaperone?
Tom: Me??? Of course! I'd be happy to!
(Tom begins to impart his date night expertise)
Tom: So, you gonna get her flowers? Have romantic music? Eat gourmet food?
Jerry: Nah, we're gonna see the Mario Movie!
(He mimics Mario)
Jerry: It's-A-Me, A-Mario.
Tom: But you can see a movie another time! A first date is supposed to be special.
Jerry: No, no, no. It's not a date. It's just a boyfriend and a girlfriend seeing a movie! Anyway, I gotta go get ready.
(He leaves the kitchen and goes to his room)
Tom: Holy cow. Jerry's got a date.
(He loses his shock and turns determined)
Tom: My best friend has come to me to chaperone this special evening. Thomas, you're gonna give these two the best first date ever!
(He laughs giddily)
(A Few Hours Later, Jerry walks out of the house ready from his night with Michelle)
Jerry: Gonna see Michelle / Gonna see Michelle / Gonna see...
(What he sees leaves him with a ton of questions)
Jerry: Uh...
(It's Tom, hair slicked, capless and in a tux)
Tom: Your chariot awaits.
(He opens the door to the car, Jerry is clearly confused)
Jerry: Uh... Tom? What's with all of this?
Tom: I just want to look nice for your..."not date".
(Tom Winked)
Jerry: ...And I already regret asking you to chaperone. Maybe Spike can...
Tom: Oooh, don't worry. I'm just here to drive you from point A to point B.
(He pulls out two bottles)
Tom: And make sure everything is absolutely perfect.
(He sprays them on to Jerry, and he is coughing, choking, all the while)
Jerry: Ah!! Tom! What is that?!
Tom: Ooh, just a little cologne and breath spray.
(He realizes that he's holding….well, you don't wanna know)
Tom: UH-OH!!
(He quickly picks up Jerry)
Tom: Uh, come on, Jerry let's get in the truck.
(Tom throws Jerry in the car and then drives off to pick up Michelle)
