Chapter 8
(At Kevin and Kayla’s house, Elena and Alexa have just arrived.)
Elena: Here Quincy…here Quincy Quincy Qunicy. Where is that damn cat?
Alexa: When are Kevin and Kayla coming home?
Elena: In a few days. (Looks at Alexa) Ok, so you wanna tell me what’s going on now?
Alexa: Why is it that everyone seems to be getting married except for Brian and me?
Elena: (walks in the kitchen and gets out the cat food) Well, Howie and Sandra aren’t getting married.
Alexa: (follows Elena in) That’s cause they aren’t together.
Elena: See, so not everyone is getting married. Come to think of it I’m not getting married either.
Alexa: It’s like he’s afraid of commitment or something. I don’t get him.
Elena: Did you tell him how you felt?
Alexa: Sort of.
Elena: I’ll take that as a no.
Alexa: I told him either you don’t want to get married…or you don’t want to marry me.
Elena: Oh. What brought this all on anyway?
Alexa: (sits down at the table in the kitchen) He told me he had a special surprise for me.
Elena: And you thought he meant a ring. (Puts the cat food on the floor)
Alexa: Well…yeah.
Elena: (sitting down across from her) So what did he get you?
Alexa: A puppy.
Elena: HE GOT YOU A PUPPY! Nick never got me a puppy.
Alexa: Don’t get me wrong, I love the dog. I just thought that we were going to get engaged.
Elena: So now what are you going to do?
Alexa: I don’t know.
(Back in Joisey with Kevin and Kayla, the next afternoon)
Kevin:  Kayla…dear…these posters have got to go.
Kayla:  No they don’t…they aren’t going anywhere Mister.
Kevin:  Ok…just get rid of that giant poster of me…it’s freakin me out.
Kayla:  You…I can’t get dressed in here anymore.
Kevin: It’s scary looking at myself…that’s all.
Kayla: The large one is kind of freaky isn’t it?
Kevin: Uh huh.  So what’s the plan for today?
Kayla:  I was thinking of taking you to Ringwood and Skyline Manors…picnic in the park or something.
Kevin: Whatever you say…you’re the boss.
(Just then, Carol comes home for lunch)
Carol:  KAYLA…KAYLA…WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING UP THERE?
Kayla:  We are having wild sex mother…what do you think we’re doing?
Carol: GET DOWN HERE NOW.
Kevin:  (to Kayla) Now you’re going to get it.
Kayla:  Aren’t I always?  (Gets up and walks downstairs)  Yes mother?
Carol:  Why can’t you respect me?
Kayla: Huh?
Carol: Having sex in my own house…in YOUR childhood bedroom
Kayla: You have sex in this house…why can’t I…in my childhood bedroom?
Carol:  I can’t believe you had sex before you got married…that musician is corrupting your mind.
Kayla:  Mother dearest, I hate to tell you this…but Kevin wasn’t my first.
Carol: WHAT?!?!?!
Kayla:  Yea, there was Bubba, and Chip, and Skippy, and Petey the one armed pirate…then Kevin.
Carol:  Now you’re just mocking me.
Kayla:  Noooooooo…really?  How can you tell?
Carol: I came home to have lunch…I’m going to go now.
Kayla:  (looks around) But you didn’t have lunch.
Carol:  I lost my appetite.
Kayla:  Okie dokie…buh bye…have a nice day. 
(Carol leaves and Kayla stands in the doorway and waves until her mother’s car is out of sight)
Kevin: (walks down the stairs) Who is this Petey character?  I’m gonna kill um.
Kayla:  Awwww…someone is jealous…that is sooooo cute.  (Kisses Kevin)
