[Scene opens in a busy carnival]

[SFX: Carnival fanfare]

[You’re standing just inside the carnival, scanning the entrance over and over, coming to the slow, sad conclusion that you have, indeed, been stood-up. At least, you were, until a handsome young gent snags your hand]

“Hey, baby.”

[Pause?]

[He chuckles calmly and leans down]

“There, can you hear me better? Good. Do me a favor, then, and keep that pretty mouth shut, got it?”

[Pause???]

“Shh, shut up! Just hold my hand and pretend we’re a couple, alright? The cops are after me, and I need to look as dopey and law-abiding as possible.”

[Pause???]

“What did I do? Hehehe… You seem like a good one. One of those that was hoping for a cute little date with a cute, kindhearted guy. Are you suuuure you want to know, cutie?”

[Pause]

[The boy cackles quietly under his breath as you two meander about]

“Let’s see… Tagged the police station, a few police cars, a certain cop’s house, briefly ran a card-counting ring, talked shit to a teacher in public, and I also stole this dorky sweater that’s making me pass for douchebag hipster instead of grumpy goth delinquent, hehe. What about you, Dork?”

[Pause]

“Stood-up? Tsk, man. Who’d have stood you up, huh? Oh shit, turn left!”

[He steers you away and you briefly catch sight of a police officer]

“Damnit, ah… Rides, rides rides rides… Aha! How’s about that UFO one?”

[Pause!]

“Don’t worry about tickets, babe, I got it!”

[He leads you up to the ride and simply nods to the attendant who nods back]

[SFX: Shoes on metal grating]

“How’d I avoid having to give tickets? Pfft, Jerry was on the ride and he owes me money. C’mon, this is one of those that squishes you against the wall.”

[Pause?!]

“Wh-? Not literally! Geeze, calm down. Here, just rest your back on it like that and hold my hand. It’ll be OK.”

[SFX: The ride kicking in]

[You grasp his hand as hard as possible while he laughs and hollers]

“Don’t worry, sugarcakes, I gotcha!”

[The ride eventually stops and you’re dropped down. The boy giggles as you cling to his side]

“Aww, are you dizzy, baby? Lucas has you, don’t worry. Do you want some ice cream? Does my cutie want some ice cream?”

[Pause]

“Hehehe, I got it, don’t worry.”

[He drags you over to a dessert stand and gets you both an ice cream cone]

“Mmh, chaos cone! So, what’s your name, future spouse?”

[Pause]

[He laughs]

“Pretty. Yep, name’s Lucas. From the look in your eye, you’ve officially recognized me. Yes, yes, tis I, the local misunderstood pretty boy goth able to seduce anyone with a few words. I’m also great in bed and my belgian waffles? Mwah! Immaculate.”

[Pause?]

“Why do I do all of this stuff? Ooh, wanting to get to know the guy that sort of kidnapped you? Hehe, oh, I love it. Why do I do it, hmm… It’s fun!”

[Pause]

“Yep, that’s it. Did you think I’d have some deep backstory? A tormented soul? Haha, nah. I’m just a dick with that superpower. If you become any more likable, I may just have to use it on you.”

[You catch a sign of the telltale blue rounding the corner and mildly panic. You do the only thing you can think of:]

[SFX: Ice cream spattering / dropping]

[Pause!]

[Lucas stares at the gob of ice cream now on your collarbone before looking up at you]

“...Did you drop that ice cream on your collarbone on purpose?”

[Pause]

“And… you want me to use my tongue to clean it up?”

[Pause!]

“Well…shit… Hell yeah I’ll do it, c’mere!”

[He pulls you close and goes to work - no hesitation, no shame. The cop veers away, visibly disgusted]

[Pause…]

[Lucas pauses, licking his lips]

“The cop’s gone? Wait, there was a cop?!”

[Pause!]

“And your first thought was to go all romance novel, drip some ice cream and then ask me to lick it up?”

[Pause]

[He laughs in disbelief]

“You got it out of a romance novel, fucking Hell. You’re crazy, you know that? I love it. Mmhm, wifey material. Or husbando, whatever boats your float.”

[Pause]

“The cops? Mmh, it looks like they’re giving up thanks to our disgusting display of raw teenage hormones, hehe. You’re still crazy but that was legit smart. So… Do you want to keep hanging out? My treat.”

[Pause]

[He smirks and takes your hand again]

“Let’s go!”

[Time passes: four hours]

[The sun has begun to set and you’re still hand-in-hand with Lucas while he tells you more about his numerous run-ins with the law. You both pause outside of the carnival. He turns to you with that infuriatingly hot smirk]

“Man, I can’t believe we fucking spent all afternoon just dicking around. I usually hate talking with people and shit… Welp. You’ve done gone and done it now, Dork. You’re officially wifey and or husbando material. You know what that means, right?”

[Pause?]

“So, are you ready to see it? My unbeatable technique for winning the heart of any and all dorks?”

[Pause]

“Get ready for it, baby, cause I’m about to blow you away. You came here for your first date, right? Mmhm. So, one might say that you came here in the hopes of getting a boyfriend, right? According to you, you want him to be sexy, handsome, clever, fun, to tease a little but always show that he cares, right? Mmhm. And you wanted the date to be a fun one, right? A fun date that got you a boyfriend, right?”

[Pause]

[He leans down, smiling that mischievous smile]

“Congratulations, baby.”

[Pause???]

[He closes the gap between you, pulling you into a kiss that knocks the breath out of you]

“Mmh. I’m your boyfriend now.”

[Pause]

[He chuckles and kisses you again]

“Ohhh, I so am your boyfriend. I’m already putting this sweater on you since I know you’ll be cold on my motorcycle while I take you to dinner.”

[You look down. This man has indeed finessed the sweater on you]

“Cute… Hmhm. Oh, I know I’m good at this, baby. I don’t use my powers for evil… too often. But I just want to corrupt you soooo badly. Don’t worry about me being ingenuine, my dear. When I fall for someone… I fall real damned hard. Now, c’mon. On the bike, we’re going to enjoy this first date until I say it’s over.”

[SFX: A bike revving]

[He lets out a maniacal laugh]

“HOLD ON TIGHT, BABY, WE’RE ON THE HIGHWAY OF LOVE AND APPETIZERS!”

[SFX: The bike taking off]

[You cling to him as he cackles and howls into the wind… Somehow, you’ve acquired a boyfriend]

[Congratulations?]

[The End???]
