9:30 am, the next morning. Alexis rolls over and looks at the clock. 9:30. How could she be up this early on vacation?

N- What time is it?

A- 9:30. I can't believe I woke up this early.

N- Me neither.

Ned puts a pillow over his head.

A- Well, I'm up and I won't get back to sleep, so I'm going to take a shower.

N- Wake me when you're done.

A- Why go back to sleep when you're already awake?

Alexis moves his pillow.

A- C'mon, get up, sleepyhead.

N- Okay, that's it. You're in trouble now.

A- (laughing) What are you going to do?

N- This.

A- (laughing harder) Ned! Stop it!

N- If you really want me to stop, you'll apologize.

A- I'm... sorry.

N- Like you mean it.

A- I can't... with you tickling... me.

Ned stops for a minute.

A- My sincerest apologies.

N- Yeah right.

He starts to tickle her again.

A- Ned! C'mon, stop it!

N- (thoroughly enjoying this) You'll have to beg.

A- Ned, please... stop tickling me.

N- Okay, but only if you let me do this.

A- What?

He kisses her.

A- Like I could stop you.

N- Would you want to?

A- No.

He starts to kiss and caress her. The way Alexis feels right now, she couldn't stop him even if she wanted to.
