Notes: Beginner script!

A/N: I wasn’t planning on making a sequel to this lil script, but the lovely u/mab1981 (youtube.com/@relaxwithmab) was kind enough to commission me for a part 2! No pressure on any of the lovely VAs who filled the previous script to fill this one, though!

[My Script Hub] [Nyan’s Sound Effects Drive]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[trees rustle in the wind]

[soft humming]

“Hm?”

“Oh! Hey, you’re here!”

[they rush over to you]

“You didn’t run into any trouble on the way here, right? I was a little worried that the directions I gave you weren’t specific enough…”

[pause]

“Ah, thank goodness.”

“So! What do you think of this place? It’s nice, isn’t it?”

“The ducks swimming around on the lake, wind rustling through the trees, leaves crunching underfoot…”

“The picture perfect location for a date, eh?”

[pause]

“Hehe, no need to look so embarrassed. We’ve known each other for a month now, yeah? So there’s no need to shy away from me.”

[pause]

“You think it’s pretty here?”

“Haha, I’m glad you like it!”

[pause]

“Why did I want to take you here?”

“Hehe! I usually pass by this park on my way to school. I’ve always wanted to take a walk around here, but I never really had anyone to go with. I would usually just go to the mall or the movies with my friends.”

“Well… mostly ex-friends now.”

“But now, I have you! And you’re way funner to talk to than any of them!”

[pause]

“Hey, I keep telling ya, you don’t need to say sorry for something someone else did! And especially not if you’re the victim. I ended my friendship with those people of my own volition.”

“If anything, it’s my fault for not noticing what they’ve been doing behind my back.”

[footsteps as the two of you begin to walk]

(Gently) “I’m really glad you told me in the end.”

[pause]

“You thought I wouldn’t believe you?”

“Do I really give off that kind of impression…?”

[pause]

“... You thought I wouldn’t because I didn’t know you as well as I knew my… ‘fan club’?”

[they laugh]

“Well, in the end, I guess I didn’t know my fan club well at all. I mean… I didn’t even see them as fans.”

(A bit dejected) “... I saw them all as friends.”

[pause]

“Ah, it’s alright.”

“I don’t want people like that around me. People who put on a smiley face around the one they like but are cruel to everyone else? Those are the worst kinds of people.”

“Heck, you didn’t even do anything to them! Why would they choose to bully someone as awesome as you?”

“You having the courage to tell me about what happened meant that I got to cut them out of my life.”

[pause]

“Oh, yeah. Sure I still see them around school but they know that I want nothing to do with them any more.”

“It’s enough to keep most of them from approaching me again.”

[pause]

“Hey, what’s with that look on your face?”

[pause]

“... You’re scared that they’ll blame you for me cutting them off?”

“Why would they do that? It was their decision to bully you.”

“I didn’t even tell them that you were the one who tipped me off!”

[pause]

“... Oh…”

“Yeah… you’re right. If they were capable of doing that, then who knows what else they might do if they were scorned…”

“Well… if it ever comes down to it… you can count on me to take your side and protect you, alright?”

[pause]

“Of course I can protect you! If you ever need to, you can hide behind me and I’ll keep you safe! Just trust me!”

[pause]

“... Your laugh is really cute, you know.”

[pause]

“It is! I always feel my heart flutter whenever you laugh. It’s such a nice sound to hear, especially from someone as shy as you.”

“You don’t laugh very often, so it always makes me happy when I make you laugh.”

“It lets me know that you enjoy having me around.”

[pause]

“Hahaha! No need to cover your face around me, I know you’re smiling!”

[pause]

“But you are! I can hear it in your voice!”

“C’mon, let me see your smile, please?”

[pause]

“There we go. See? It feels great to smile, right?”

[pause]

“Well… I hope I can always make you smile.”

“I never want to see you act like you did when we first met again. Scared… hiding behind your book, always looking around like you’re waiting to be attacked by your bullies.”

“... I want to see you smile just like this, every day.”

[pause]

“Hehe, is my flirting working? You’re looking away from me again.”

[pause]

“Well I certainly hope I made your heart flutter!”

(Teasing) “We are on a date, after all~”

[pause]

“Of course I have to say it out loud! I’ll say it as many times as possible until you stop questioning whether or not this is happening.”

“The best way to remember something is to say it a bunch, right? In that case, I have to say it a bunch of times so that you believe me.”

[pause]

“Hey, I asked you on a date because I want to date you. I want to date you because I think you’re an awesome person who I’ve fallen head over heels for. There’s not a shred of dishonesty in me!”

[pause]

“Like I keep saying… you really are awesome. And I’ll keep telling you how great you are until you believe me!”

[pause]

“What do I like about you?”

“Oh, lots of things! I could go on and on about all the things I like about you. Buuuut, if you want a start…”

[pause]

“Like I said, I love your smile. It lights up your face and makes your eyes shine.”

“I love how passionate you are about what you love. It took a while for you to start talking to me about what you like, but once you started, you were so enthusiastic that I couldn’t help but enjoy hearing you talk about it.”

“You’re really observant, too! You noticed my bandaged hand as soon as we met up last week, and you always seem to notice when I’m feeling a little down, or even if I’m trying to hide a gift from you!”

[pause]

(Teasing) “Hey, I said I could go on! Do you want me to keep going? Should I tell you how much I love the way the sunlight shines on you?”

[pause]

“Ahahaha! Okay, okay! You think it’s cheesy, but it’s true as can be in my eyes!”

(softly, more serious tone) “So, have I convinced you? Do you believe me now, when I say that I really, really like you?”

[pause, wind rustles through the trees]

“Hey, you don’t have to give me your answer right now.”

“If you want to be friends for a while longer first, that’s fine. If you reject me outright… well, I’ll be sad, but I’ll respect your decision.”

“Whatever you think about me… I hope you know that I really, truly…”

[pause]

(A little flustered) “Hmm, maybe ‘love’ is too strong a word to use right now.”

[pause]

“Hahaha! You’re getting all flustered?”

[rustling]

“If it makes you feel better… I’m pretty flustered too. I mean, I was about to make a declaration of love when you probably weren’t ready yet!”

“So… let’s finish our date first, yeah? There’s an ice cream truck that usually parks nearby at around this time, and the nice lady who runs it sells the best popsicles!”

[pause]

“Sounds good to me!”

“Oh, but um… can I ask one thing from you?”

[pause]

(A little embarrassed) “Well… if you’re okay with it, I want to hold hands with you.”

[pause]

[you take their hand]

“Ah… your hand is so warm.”

“It’s a really nice feeling.”

[pause]

“Well… whether you decide to date me or not, I hope you remember that I’m always on your side.”

[pause]

“... Yeah. It makes me so, so happy that I met you.”

“Alright, come on! We don’t want to miss the ice cream truck!”

[running footsteps through leaves]

[fade out laughter]
