Full Moon, Waxing Love

I am stuffed! When you pick a spot to eat, you pick well!

*listener comments*

Yeah, I’d say you really knocked your half out of the park. But now it’s my turn. For the second half of our date, I was thinking we could do something old school.

*listener questions*

Well, it’d be no fun if I told you now! That’d ruin the surprise!

*listener doubts*

Hey, how long have we known each other? I think I know you well enough to pick an activity that’ll be fun for both of us. And it’s within walking distance of here, so it can’t be that bad, right?

*listener doubts*

Well then come on! It’s getting late and I want to get there before the sun goes down.

[walking sfx]

Yeah, it’s only a few blocks from here. I’m sure you can hold out in anticipation that long.

*listener comments*

Don’t worry about it getting dark. It’s a full moon tonight. We’ll be able to see just fine.

*small pause*

Good thing too, I’d hate to miss even a second of your beautiful face.

*listener comments*

Yeah, I’m getting all mushy! This date was a long time coming, and I want to get it perfect! And as long as I’ve known you, you’ve been a sucker for a heartfelt line and a toothy smile.

*listener speaks*

Don’t try to deny it! Hollywood has its hooks in you. Whenever I come over, you’re always watching a new romance movie! You live for that type of corny stuff!

*small pause*

In fact, if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you only went on this date because you want someone to watch movies with.

*listener denies*

Oh, I’m sure that’s not it. You would never go on a date to further your malicious goals of snuggling, would you?

*listener objects*

Hugging me now just furthers my point! I’m getting too close to the truth so you think you can brainwash me with physical touch! Well jokes on you, it’s working.

(shudders)

Wow, you’re cold! Give me some warning before you get under my shirt next time! Here, take my jacket.

*listener comments*

Don’t start with that, you’re freezing! And if you keep touching me, you’re going to freeze me too, you little ice witch!

*listener objects*

Come on, it’ll be good for both of us!

{singsongy}

The jacket is still warm!

*small pause*

Plus, you look adorable wearing my clothes. They’re always way too big on you.

*listener folds*

See, doesn’t that feel better?

*listener comments*

Well, knowing you’re not getting hypothermia makes me feel a lot better. Now keep walking, we’re almost there.

*pause*

[walking sfx stop]

[light ocean ambiance]

Viola! A bench!

*listener questions*

Yes, my date idea was sitting on a bench. The perfect bench, I might add! It’s got tree cover, it’s just close enough to the shore to hear the gentle lapping of the waves, and the sunset on the horizon is going to look amazing. It’s nice and secluded, so we can just talk about our feelings and take in the view. How’s that for a mushy ending?

*listener praises*

I thought you’d like it. Plus, since you have my jacket, we’ll have to sit really close together to stay warm. So you’ll have the perfect excuse to nestle into me.

*small pause*

What cliche do you want to do now? We could talk about how we first met, or when I knew I loved you, or I could do my best to put your immense beauty into words.

*listener denies*

Too formulaic? That’s fine. How about we just take in the orange glow?

(happy sigh)

I’m really glad you agreed to come out tonight. I’d love to do this again sometime.

*listener comments*

Yeah, next Tuesday sounds great. I’ll just have to figure out something even sappier than this.

(chuckle)

*small pause*

Hey, I didn’t bring you out here just to see the sunset. I… I have something to tell you.

*listener speaks*

Don’t worry, I’m not going to propose on date one. I just think that, if this is going to continue, then there’s something about me you should know.

*listener comments*

Before I tell you, I want you to realize that what I’m about to say has been a part of me my entire life. This information shouldn’t change anything. I’m still the loveable rogue you know.

*small pause*

And, you kind of have to promise not to go screaming into the night when I tell you. You’re not in any danger. I just have a sort of, medical condition.

*listener agrees*

Okay, ready?

(deep breath)

I’m a werewolf. Like, the mythical monster. When the full moon comes out, I transform into a humanoid canine beast.

*small pause*

I’m not feral, and I reiterate that you’re not in any danger. I’m in complete control of myself the entire time. I just get a little taller, stronger, and fuzzier once a month.

*small pause*

I assume you don’t believe me. But you don’t have to. We came here tonight because, as I said, there’s a full moon out. I have a pretty good internal clock about this sort of thing, so I’d say we’ve got less than a minute before I transform. If this is too much, you can leave, and I won’t follow. But if you’re willing to stay, then I’d be very grateful.

*listener remains*

Thank you for your bravery.

*small pause*

(pained transformation sounds)

|If the VA can afford it, the werewolf section of this script should be performed with a deeper voice.|

So this is it. Nothing special. I’m still your best friend. I’m still human on the inside. If you can look past the teeth, you can see, it’s still me.

*small pause*

I love you. I love you even more when I’m like this. Seeing you in my jacket, covered in my scent, makes me really happy. You make me really happy. If you’d allow me, I’d love to sit back down with you.

*listener agrees*

Thanks.

*speaker sits*

[bench creaks]

My fur’s just as soft as my hair is. And I should be even warmer now. If you’re not scared you can still snuggle into me.

*listener hugs*

(happy sigh)

This is nice. I could see myself with you. Through thick and thin. If you’re willing to put up with me.

*listener disagrees*

Why not? You like the human me, and you don’t seem scared of the werewolf. Why would you say no to staying together?

*listener speaks*

I do love you! Why would you think I don’t?

*listener states*

You have something to show me? Okay. But, I promise nothing would be bad enough to scare me away.

*listener comments*

If you need to stand up to show me, then please, be my guest. But I promise it won’t stop me from loving you.

*listener alludes*

“That’s the problem”? I don’t understand, why would that be-

[etheral sfx]

{almost entranced}

Wow, you look… radiant.

*small pause*

What are you?

*listener speaks*

Huh? I didn’t hear that. I just… got lost in your eyes.

*small pause*

You’re… gorgeous!

[etheral sfx stop]

What just happened?

*listener comments*

Yeah, you started glowing, and then… then I blacked out. What happened?

*listener states*

You revealed your true form to me? I still don’t get it. What’s your true form?

*listener questions*

Yeah, I really don’t remember anything that just happened. You stood up from the bench and the rest is a blur.

*listener worries*

You entranced me? How?

*listener comments*

Yeah, by showing me your true form, but what was that? You’ve got to fill me in here.

*listener blurts*

{confused}

You are the moon?

*small pause*

I don’t get it. You’re a person. The moon’s a rock in the sky. Am I missing something here?

*listener clarifies*

You’re the spirit of the moon? I wasn’t aware that a rock could have a spirit, but I guess a light turning people into dogs is just as far-fetched.

*small pause*

So, why did you think this would be a bad thing? Are you going to outlive me or something? Is this a, I’m immortal so I can’t love a mortal, thing?

*listener denies*

You’re mortal too? So then what’s the problem?

*listener states*

I do love you! Why would you being the moon change anything?

*listener responds*

Yeah, I’m a werewolf and you’re the moon. That sounds like a match made in heaven to me.

*listener speaks*

Let me get this straight. You think that I don’t really love you, but rather, that my werewolf affinities drew me to you. And you’re worried that staying with me would be exploiting my natural feelings toward the moon itself? I see why you’d be worried but I promise I love you, whether you’re the moon or not!

*listener claims*

How can I be sure?

*small pause*

Like this.

[bench creaks]

(kiss)

I’ll admit that a certain level of instinct did bring me to you. I thought it was just because you’re drop-dead gorgeous. But that’s not all that kept me here. I love everything about you. Even the parts that are stupid, or weird, or really cold all the time.

*small pause*

I couldn’t imagine how much lonelier I’d be without you. You’re my best friend, and I want us to be more! I promise, if what we have is ever different than what I want, I’ll tell you. And if what we have ever becomes toxic or too demanding, I’ll walk away. But that’s not going to happen. I know you wouldn’t do that too me!

*listener fears*

Hey, I know this is uncharted territory, but I want to stay with you. I’m willing to get past any hurdles that may cause. So, will you please give this a chance?
