Writer’s Notes: This premise was an idea that I've been thinking about for a while, but that I didn't want to make a long story for. So I decided to get it off my mind with a shorter, beginner-friendly script! Hope y'all enjoy! (Also I'm sorry to everyone who's filled my scripts and I haven't had a chance to reply yet; I've been so far behind on listening to fills & messages & everything, and catching up is taking forever! I promise I'll respond to everyone asap!)

Script Below:

​

\Unlocking their phone, Listener sees that they’re received a voice message from Narrator. They click the ‘play’ button. There’s a small moment of silence before Narrator starts talking.**

\Casual but happy** “Good morning, sunshine! Or afternoon, or evening or whatever. I’m not sure what time you’re listening to this. So I guess I should say ‘good day?’ Oh wait, but it might be night…”

\Narrator groans, playfully annoyed.**

“You know what I mean!”

\Narrator laughs.**

“Well, whatever time it is, I hope it's a good one. Or if not, that it’ll be better soon. Maybe you can go get a snack or something to make your day better. You know, a little treat.”

\Narrator laughs.**

“When I say it like that, it makes it sound like you’re some small, tiny little creature. Like you’re a little animal from one of those cute storybooks that goes on adventures and does human things but they’re a little animal so it’s a million times cuter. Just, ‘go on, little bunny rabbit, go get a little treat from the little bunny rabbit market. Get a tiny little… carrot cake or something.’ I don’t know. I mean, obviously you’re not a rabbit and you’re not going to a tiny rabbit market - as far as I know-”

\Narrator laughs.**

“-But you get what I mean. Get yourself a treat or something, alright? Or just dinner, since I know that you skipped dinner last night! That’s right, I know you did! I know that you spent the entire night watching whatever show it is! You were making posts about it like, all night! I kept telling you that you should get food, but did you listen? Nooo, of course not. I mean, you kept saying you would but knowing you, you probably just ate some ice cream and thought that would be good enough.”

\Narrator scoffs playfully.**

“Alright, that settles it, new plan: no getting a little treat. You need to get yourself dinner. Like, an actual meal. Something of substance. You can get dessert with it too, but seriously, get yourself a good dinner! And I’m gonna call you and make sure that you do!”

\Narrator laughs.**

“Okay, I’m gonna stop bugging you about your terrible eating habits for now - for now - because I’m actually calling to tell you about something else! So I was taking a walk this morning, right? And I decided to go by that one park with that huge fountain in the center. But I took a different path than I usually do, and it went back into that wooded area. You know what I’m talking about, right?”

“Well anyways, so I was walking back that way because who doesn’t love a good adventure in the morning, and you’ll never guess what I found! It was a gazebo with a ton of picnic tables! I think it used to be part of the park, but it looks like no one’s been taking care of it so everyone’s just kinda forgotten about it. Which is a shame since it’s so pretty! I mean, it’s kinda overgrown with weeds, but that just makes it even better, in my opinion. It almost looks like something out of one of those fairytale weddings, like it came right out of a picture book.”

“It looks like the perfect place to take someone on a date, too. The picnic tables are still in pretty good condition, and the scenery is seriously breathtaking. You could just get some food together and spend an entire afternoon out there. It would be a lot of fun.”

“I mean, it would be a great date spot, if I had someone to go on a date with.”

\There’s a moment of thoughtful silence before Narrator chuckles.**

\A little sheepish/nervous** “Actually, while I’m thinking about it - and while I actually have the nerve to say something about it - there’s something I’ve um, wanted to tell you lately.”

\Narrator takes a deep breath and sighs, trying to find the words to say.**

“So… We’ve known each other for a while now, and we’ve gotten to be pretty good friends. I’d like to think that I know you pretty well. Well, actually, I think that I know you really well. Like, really well. We talk a lot, after all. I know all the things you like and dislike, all your favorite shows, movies, songs and everything like that. And I even know everyone you’ve had a crush on. I mean, I only knew because you told me, but you also acted kinda different around them. You smiled a lot around them, and you liked to be close to them, even though you’d get all flustered when you did. It was kinda funny actually. And pretty cute, too.”

\Narrator chuckles quietly.**

“I guess I’m saying that you’re one of my best friends, and I know you well enough to know when you’re really into someone. And, that being said, well… I can tell that you’re into me. You have feelings for me. Like, romantic feelings.”

“You’ve been getting a lot more… shy around me, I guess is the best way to describe it. You just seem different, like you’re scared I’m gonna find out. But that’s the thing about it; I couldn’t not notice. You’ve been acting so strange, and I was trying to figure out why, but then I realized what it was. You like me.”

\Narrator laughs softly.**

“I mean, clearly you more than like me, but you know what I mean. You want to be more than friends. You want to date me.”

\Narrator clears their throat, feeling a bit nervous again.**

“And um, I guess I just wanted to say that… if you did want to ask me out, I’d say yes. Because I ‘more than like’ you too.”

\A bit more nervous** “It’s completely up to you though! I don’t know if this is just some passing crush and you’re not making any moves because you won’t have a crush on me a month from now. That happens and I totally get it. Or if you’re concerned about making things awkward, I get that too. That’s totally reasonable. But…”

\There’s a pause, a few seconds of silence before Narrator strengthens their resolve and starts talking again.**

“But I just wanted to tell you that if you ever did want to, y’know, ask me out on a date, then I’d say yes. No question about it.”

\Narrator clears their throat before laughing sheepishly.**

“So, yeah. That’s everything I wanted to say, so uh, I’ll just talk to you later. Alright, bye, have a good day! Or night. Or- Oh my god, I’m doing it again, aren’t I?”

\Narrator laughs.**

“Okay, then I’m gonna go now so I don’t embarrass myself anymore. Stay safe and get some food, alright? See you later!”

\The voice message and audio end here.**
