| (On Valentine’s Day, Nick and AJ are driving to AJ’s house.) AJ: I hate Valentine’s Day. Nick: You’re just saying that cause you don’t have anyone to share it with. AJ: Shut up. Nick: Well it’s true. AJ: You want me to kick you out of the car? Nick: No. AJ: Then if you know what’s best boy you’ll shut up! Nick: Ok then. (They pull into AJ’s driveway. Nick runs over to be with Reagan who took the day off from work. AJ grabs his things and goes inside. He walks in and finds his living room covered with red and pink hearts, balloons, and flowers.) AJ: What the? (He walks over to the fireplace and sees a note written on one of the hearts…it reads…Will you be my Valentine? He runs over to Taylor’s house and knocks on the door.) Reagan: Hi AJ. Welcome home. (Hugs him) AJ: Thanks. Is Taylor home? Reagan: Nope she’s at work. AJ: When is she getting home? Reagan: I believe around 5. AJ: Great. Can I come in for a second? (5:30 rolls around and Taylor pulls into her driveway. She looks over at AJ’s house and sees his car in the driveway.) Taylor: I guess he’s seen it by now. (Walks inside) Reagan I’m home. Reagan: I’m in the kitchen. Taylor: (walks into the kitchen, sees Reagan at the stove, and Nick sitting at the table) Hiya. Hi Nick. Nick: Hi. Taylor: What are you two doing tonight? Reagan: Well I’m cooking him dinner and then after that…we don’t know. Taylor: Oh…well I was planning on going out so you guys can have the house to yourselves. Nick: Where are you going? Taylor: To a movie…(sighs) by myself. Reagan: Awwww…you can stay and have Valentine’s with us. Taylor: No thank you. I’ll be in my room. (Goes upstairs to her room) Reagan: 3…2…1 Taylor: (from upstairs) OH MY GOD! Nick: You’re good. Reagan: Thanks. (They both get up and go upstairs to Taylor’s room) Taylor: (she walks into her room and sees flowers, balloons, and hearts everywhere. She walks over to her dresser and looks at the note that is there…it says…Yes!) I can’t believe it. Reagan: You like? Taylor: Where is he? AJ: (walks into the room) Right here. Reagan: We’ll be downstairs. (Nick and Reagan leave) Taylor: (waves) Hi. AJ: Hi. Taylor: (walks over and hugs AJ) Thank you. AJ: (hugging her back) No no, thank you. Taylor: Wait a second, where did you come from? AJ: I was hiding in Reagan’s room. Taylor: I thought I heard something movin in there. AJ: So what is this I hear about you going to the movies…by yourself? Taylor: Yea well, um, you can come too. AJ: Sounds like a great plan for a first date. Taylor: (Blushes) Yea. AJ: How about I take you to dinner first? Taylor: As long as it isn’t McDonald’s, I’m game. AJ: Nope, I’ve made reservations somewhere. Taylor: Oooooo. Will I have time to change? AJ: Yea, I have to go change too, I’ll be back to pick you up in oh (looks at his watch) half-hour. Sound good? Taylor: Sounds great. AJ: Ok then. (Kisses Taylor’s cheek) See you then. Taylor: Ok. (AJ leaves) Taylor: Now, what to wear? (Goes into her closet) Shoot…REAGAN!!!!!!! Reagan: (from downstairs) Gosh darn it. Nick: The sooner you help her, the sooner she’ll leave for her date. (winks) Reagan: Right. (Gets up and runs upstairs) What is it? (Looks at Taylor’s room) Oh lordy, what did you do? Taylor: I don’t know what to wear. Reagan: And this mess is a result? Taylor: (nods) Reagan: Ok girl. Let’s see what we can find. |
