Afterschool At the end of the day, everyone is walking out of the building- Leena looks for Norris. Norris is standing by the doorway waiting. Leena: Norris! Norris: *smiles* Well its about time! Leena: Hmm...(she smiles) Serge: *who was hiding in the bushes nearby with Van* *raises an eyebrow at Van* Sooo... Van:.....what...? Serge: Nothing. *tosses a package of flower seeds outside for Korcha* Norris: By the way does kid still want to take me to the prom? I should have given her an answer by now. Leena: I don't know......I think she's more intent on making Serge jealous. Norris: Probably. But its better than staying at home! Serge: *looks at Van* there somthin' she ain't tellin me man! Van: Possibly...... Serge: *stamping his foot* Van!! I wanna know. I'm the gossip king here! Van: You're asking the wrong person, Serge. Norris: Well you consider asking someone to the prom? I'm sure you don't want to go alone or be at home. Leena: I don't have a date yet, Norris. Norris: *nodding* You've got all day tommorow..but it may be inconvinient for some.

Norris:...guess I needed company! Van: I guess you did... Norris: I'm going to the prom. Van: So am I. Norris: really? That's great. Who's your date? Van: I don't have a date. I can't; I have to work the lightboard. Norris: Ohh Thank goodness I don't work that night. I can spend tommorow preparing for the date. Van: I guess so.... Norris: Carnations or roses? Oh I don't know what younger girls like! Van: I don't know.....you'd have to ask your date. Norris: Van...try to be a little more sociable. Van: I am sociable. But only if my knowledge is relevant to the topic of the speakers. Norris: Forgive me. *pulls up to Van's home* there you are. Sorry I'm just nervous for this date. Van: That's alright, sir. I'm nervous and I don't even have a date.... Norris: *chuckles* Well this date is special! Van goes inside his house. Norris: *to himself* Yes...this will be a special night to remember... Lazzuly walks past- she is crossing the street and he nearly hits her. Norris: *honks* Hey Lazzy, hop in, I'll give you a lift! Lazzuly: My house is right across the street. Norrirs: hahahah! sorry! silly me. I'm just so nervou. She smiles and walks on- Leena is now at Viper Manor, visiting Riddel- the Devas live there, as does Luccia. Riddel: Dario, darling. Here are some cookies I made just for you. Dario: Umm..thanks He smells peanuts in them. Dario: Honey...I'm allergic to peanuts.. Riddel: Eat up, darling. Yum, yum. Dario: NOOOOOO!! Leena: Hm....(she watches Mel and Marcy play Monopoly) Mel: That's four hotels on Park Place. You owe me. Leena: Mel, you can't put four hotels on Park Place....or anywhere else for that matter. Marcy: Like whatever! Mel: Cha! Marcy owes me some big Monopoly bucks! Pay up, Marcy! Marcy *kicks board* Like no way!! Mel: You cheat! Marcy: I want to see, like, that new dress Riddel made, like for Leena. Karsh: HEY! Marcy, Mel! Shut up! I'm trying to read the paper! Dario *Grumble grumble* Argghhh!!! Riddel: Of course. Leena, let's go see your dress. Yum yum, Dario. Eatey, eatey. (she pats his head and leads them to her sewing room). Leena: What sort of dress is it? Marcy: I wanna see the dress too! Riddel: A lovely one. When Marcy gets older, I'll make her one too. But for now, she must come with Dario and I. We are chaperoning the ball. She shows Leena the gown- a lovely pale blue dress with sequins. Marcy: LIke, Leena, are you going with Serge? Leena: Oh...(she sighs)....No, Marcy.... She is admiring the dress. Marcy: Like...no way, you shouldn't like, go alone. Leena: It's heavenly! Marcy, I'm not going alone. Marcy: Like, that's a beautiful dress..and like , whos gonna take you? Leena: Norris.

Leena: Glenn's not even going! Dario: Because he has no date. Leena: He's almost as old as Norris anyway! Besides, why would age even matter? Dario: We don't mean to say that he's bad...I mean that Ishito boy is a hardworker, responsible and loyal. I just don't know if he'd want to settle down with a much younger girl. Dario: *GRUMBLE* Ugh... Leena: Sheesh! It's just a date to the prom as FRIENDS! It's not like a wedding! Riddel: I remember our wedding. Dario, eat up.

Norris: Oh come on!!! Dario: Glenn! *runs upstairs* Riddel: Nothing is going on, Norris. Norris: Were you guys comparing me to you both? Riddel: No... Norris: Hmm Hmm...anyway your father requests the grocery list. Norris, being a law enforcement student, must also take orders from the ruler of El Nido--Viper. Riddel: Of course. I shall prepare it, then. Norris" Now would be nice. I'd like to go flower hunting too. Riddel: (she writes up a list and hands it to him) Now, go. Dario: *dragging Glenn down* Bring me some milk! Norris: *salutes* Good night, everyone. Riddel: My Dario is allergic to milk. But oh, how he loves peanuts. Dario: URk!!!! *shoves cookies down Glenn's throat* Leena is back at her home, looking at herself in the dress, dreamily) Una: Hey dork!! Leena: Hm...(she sighs) I feel like Cinderella in this dress. Una: Cinderella get to work! clean my room! *Snort snort* Leena: I'm sorry you're so immature....I have a prom to prepare for...what have you? Una: *starts to cry* I'm telling mommy to embarrass you when Serge comes! Leena: For your information....I'm not going with Serge. Una: Oooooh going with Korcha? *SNORT* Leena: No.... Una: Well mom's going to grill him anway! *bares teeth* Leena: You'll never guess who it is. Una: Ooo is it that rock star Nikki? Leena: No....(she fixes her hair) Una: Hmm ...I don't know who? Leena: Told you you'd never guess...(she smiles) Una: Well tell Mom to fix your hair for you! Leena: I can fix it myself. Una: You're ugly anyway! Leena: Get lost... Una: Hmph ! *stomps off* (Serge is now practically dateless because he knows Lazzuly heard what he said to Leena after she asked Norris out) Marge: Serge? Darling, you look so glum! Serge: That's because I am glum. Marge: Why? Serge: I have no prom date. Marge: Oh! And I thought for sure you had one in Kid or Leena! Serge: Leena's going with that stupid college guy Norris. You know ma, that security guard who always lets everyone skip classes and stuff. Marge: Oh.....oh, my. Well, then. There have to be some nice girls at your school. Serge: *stomps to the phone* I'm going to call the FBI Marge: Serge, now....calm down Serge: NO! I'm calling the FBI Marge: Serge! Serge: Leena should be dating a man that old. There is a knock on the door. Serge opens the door. It's Lazzuly- she looks up at him. Lazzuly: Serge! Serge: Lazzy! Lazzuly: I know you want to take Leena to the prom... Serge: Well you're a great friend Lazzy! That's why I wanted to go with you Lazzuly: I know. Why didn't you ask Leena? Serge: Well I love both Leena and Kid. And instead of having them fight and what not I decided to take someone who deserved to go. Lazzuly: I decided beforehand not to go at all, Serge. But when you asked me, I felt so happy. Serge: I see... Lazzuly: I don't see any point in going now, though. Serge: Why not? I think we should still go Lazzuly: Maybe for you. I'd just get stepped on. Serge: But we can enjoy ourselves Lazzuly: Perhaps......but I think that if you wanted to go with Leena, you should have asked her. Serge: I didn't. Besides, Norris has a thing for her. Lazzuly: I guess so. Serge: Mama, I hope Miguel is rolling over in his grave over his daughter's choice of men! Marge: That's a mean thing to say, Serge. I don't blame you, though. Serge: Well its not right. *stamps his foot* Lazzuly: Maybe not to you....in my culture, there is usually a large age difference between couples. Serge: *rips up his mom's craft magazine* 10 years is alot! Lazzuly: How about 20? Serge: whoah. Lazzuly: My parents were born 32 years apart. Serge:.......holy fuck... Marge: Serge! Don't say "holy" unless you mean it religiously! Serge: Sorry Momma. Laz, I'd love to go still... Lazzuly: I would too, Serge... Serge: Then lets go! Lazzuly: (she nods, smiling) Alright! (she smiles and leaves). Serge picks up the phone. Marge: That was very nice of you, Serge. Serge: thanks ma...but its not over yet! She nods. Serge calls up Van. His father answers. Serge: Yes, Vahn? Father:....hm. Serge:........... Father: Who, may I ask is calling? Serge: Serge. Father: Ah. Yes, of course. Let me get my son for you. (a pause) Van: Serge? Serge: Sup Vanners Van:............(he clears his throat).... Serge: I'm calling the FBI tonight Van: The FBI? Serge, are you serious? Serge: I'm reporting Norris and Leena's relationship. Van: Oh, Serge.....must you? I mean.......is it really worth the FBI? Serge: If I can't have Leena, neither can he! Van: I guess....but you needn't call the FBI. Serge: Oh I'm just bored. Van: Oh......that's a good reason, then. Serge: *sigh* Well ya talked to Norris yet? Van: I did....and he's very nervous. Serge: Oh really now... Van: Yeah.....he said I wasn't sociable. Serge: NExt time he says that, tell him that he's TOO sociable, picking up girls that dont belong to him! Van laughs. Serge: Well its bedtime. Ma's getting mad. Van: Right... Serge: Night kid Van: Good night. Serge lies in his bed, pondering today's events, with revenge on his mind.
