A Hallway Full of Students...
Scene: A hallway full of students in groups of 3-5, talking. Mike and Ike are speaking in the middle of the hall. Mike is dressed sloppily casual; Ike is in jeans and varsity jacket.
Mike: And that’s how my uncle got arrested
Ike: That’s such a stupid story.
Mike: I thought it was cool..
Anne walks by from stage left, waving to Mike and Ike, the boy’s eyes do not leave her
Anne: Hi!
Mike and Ike (simultaneously): Hi Anne!
Anne exits stage right
Ike: Heh, whatcha lookin’ at Mikey?
Mike: Huh? Oh nothing. I wasn’t looking at anything.
Ike: Sure. So, you gonna ask Anne to homecoming?
Mike: Oh you bet! I came up with a brilliant plan!
Ike: Whatever it is, you’d never go through with it. You’re too shy to ask someone out.
Mike: Maybe before, but this time I’ve got it all planned out.
Bell Rings. Students scatter, Mike and Ike leave in opposite directions.
Mike: You’ll see!
Ike: Sure
Scene. A classroom. Teacher at desk, ignoring students. Students talking, jumping over chairs, throwing paper, Mike is in the corner talking to a student.

Student: That’s awesome dude! There’s no way she’ll say no!
Bell rings
Mike walks out of the class, sees Ike talking to Anne, Anne walks away as Mike approches
Mike: Hey Ike, was that Anne?
Ike: Yeah, she had to get to class though.
Mike: Oh, that’s ok, I wasn’t going to ask her to homecoming until later anyways.
Ike: I’ve known you for too long dude, you’re not gonna go through with it.
Mike: Maybe.. But I think that she would want to go with me.
Ike: Why’s that?
Mike: Oh, I don’t know. Do you think she would?
Bell Rings. Mike and Ike leave in separate directions.
Scene. Mike is talking to an adult.
Mike: Yeah, I’ll just need it for today.
Adult: Alright, and will you need a driver for your limo?
Mike: You bet, I’m gonna pop out of the sunroof to ask Anne to the dance.
Adult: I don’t care how you’re gonna use it. You got the money?
Mike: Sure, here ya go. Hands Adult a wad of cash
They part ways, Mike sees Anne in the hallway and approaches her.
Mike: Hey Anne
Anne: Oh, hey Mike. What’s up?
Mike: Nothing, I’m just working on my homecoming plans. You going?
Anne: I’m planning to, just waiting for someone to ask me.
Mike: Well, you should get asked by the end of the day
Anne: Oh wow..wait, how do you know?
Mike: I just have a feeling.
Ike approaches
Ike: Hey Anne, hey Mike.
Mike and Anne Simultaneously: Hi Ike
Ike: Excited for homecoming?
Anne: I sure am, don’t know who I’m going with though.
Ike: I’m pretty sure I have a good idea who it will be.
Mike: Yeah, Ike would know.
Ike: I suppose I would.
Anne: Oh! I’ve got to go to class!
Ike: Algebra? I’ll go with you.
Anne: Ok, bye Mike!
Mike: Bye!
Ike: Yeah, bye Mike.
Anne and Ike walk off, stage right.
Mike: Oh man, this is gonna be amazing, I don’t think that my plan can go wrong.
Exit stage left
After school. Parking lot. Anne and Ike are talking, Mike comes over.
Mike: Hi guys.
Anne: Hi
Mike: Still not sure about homecoming?
Anne: Actually, I’m pretty sure now.
Mike: That’s great. Waves behind him.
Two people walk over with a banner that reads, “Will you go to homecoming with me Anne?”. The school’s band follows, playing an upbeat tune. One band member throws Mike a bouquet.
Mike: Well Anne, will you go with me?
Anne: Oh Mike..
Mike: I know, it’s quite astounding isn’t it?
Anne: Mike, I can’t
Band cuts off
Mike: Great! I’ll call the limo driv… wait. What?
Anne: I can’t go with you Mike. I already have a date.
Mike: WHO!? I’ve been planning this for days!
Anne: Ike asked me last period. I’m sorry Mike.
Ike: I’m sorry dude, you never go through with these things, and I figured that I would take advantage of an opportunity.
Mike: what? Why would you do this to me?
Anne: Don’t worry Mike, you can go to homecoming in a group with Ike and I.
Mike: That’s not going to happen. I can’t believe I thought this would go well for me.
Anne: Wait Mike!
Mike: No, I’m done. I’m going home.
