CATEGORY: S&C Romance/ Mild Naughtiness
Act One: Carmine is singing @ the Pizza Bowl. He is singing Just in Time by Tony Bennett
As Carmine’s strong voice echoed throughout the Pizza Bowl is a lovely tone, Laverne and Shirley were ducking it out trying to yell over each other about what kind of pizza to order. Carmine ends his song in with an applaud. He walks over to them.
SHIRLEY: Well Laverne we always get that kind! Don’t you get tired of the same old pizza day after day after….
Before Shirley could finish her sentence, Carmine turned her toward him and gave her a gentle kiss.
SHIRLEY: Or we could get that kind if you really want to….
LAVERNE: Thanks Carmine!
Right then while they were ordering, in comes a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. Shirley’s jaw dropped almost to the floor. Laverne looked at her and turned around. She almost fell to the floor. She pretended to drop her fork…
LAVERNE: Oh… I’m so clumsy!
The man picks it up, hands it to her, and walks away briskly. As he does, he steals a glance at Shirley, and Carmine notices and gives him a warning look. Laverne gets up and runs to him.
LAVERNE: Hi, I’m Laverne.
MAN: Hi…I’m Bill…
Bill acted as though he really didn’t care and looked over her shoulder at Shirley who had lost interest in Laverne sucking up and turned around.
LAVERNE: So… ya wanna… do something sometime?
BILL: (still trying to see Shirley)Well…sure…no…yeah…I have to go! Bye!
Laverne looks disappointed. She just turns around and walks back to the table.
LAVERNE: Eh, he isn’t good enough anyway
SHIRLEY: That’s spirit Laverne! Glad you aren’t pouting!
Bill walks back in looking for Shirley.
BILL: Oh! Hi! My name is Bill! I couldn’t help looking at you over from where I was standing. I just wanted to tell you that you are a very lovely woman. Would you like to go bowling?
Shirley had forgotten that Carmine was sitting next to her.
SHIRLEY: Well… thank you… sure let’s go!
They get up and walk away without looking back.Laverne noticed Carmine glaring over his shoulder as they walked away with a mean look on his face.
LAVERNE: Hey Carmine… what a-
CAMRINE: Why is it that Shirley totally forgot about me and left me here? How could she!?
LAVERNE: Oh it’s all right Carmine!
CARMINE: I’ll get him!
LAVERNE: It’s not all right!
Carmine got up form the table and left with a boom.
Next Scene: Laverne and Shirley’s apartment
Laverne is on a date with a guy she met at work and said she wouldn’t be back until late. Carmine asked her if it would be all right if he watched TV at her house while she was out. He really wanted to surprise Shirley when she came home from her date with Bill.
It was 11:30 P.M. Shirley came through the door by herself very quietly. She didn’t expect anyone because she knew Laverne would be out all night. When she turned on the light, there he was. She knew this spelled trouble.
SHIRLEY: Carmine! What are you doing here? CARMINE: Shirl, can I talk to you a sec?
Shirley walked over to where he was, on the couch. He wasn’t looking at her.
CARMINE: Just what do you think you were doing going out with that Bill guy right in front of me? You knew I was there! How could you?!
She realized that she did do that and wondered why.
SHIRLEY: Oh Carmine! I’m sorry! I didn’t even realize-
CARMINE: Oh sure you didn’t realize! You were to caught up with BILL!
Shirley felt angry and guilty.
SHIRLEY: I said I was sorry Carmine. Anyways, he was a jerk! I didn’t really bowl with him, he just wanted to go into the back room and fool around. I have been at Ms. Babish’s house helping her rearrange. CARMINE: But still! You still left me!
Carmine said some pretty mean things and Shirley started to cry. Carmine began to feel guilty. He just walked out. Shirley ran off to her bedroom.
Next day
Shirley was sitting on the couch fully dressed. Laverne had called that night and said she wouldn’t be returning that afternoon and had spent the night with her “friend” Fred.
There was a familiar knock @ the door. Carmine. Shirley didn’t know what to do.She slowly walked over to the door. She opened it elegantly.
CAMRINE: Hi.
SHIRLEY: Hi.
CAMRINE: I came to apologize about last night. I shouldn’t have said all those things. And to top it off I made you cry and just walked out. It was wrong. So you forgive me?
SHIRLEY: Well, yes I except, but aren’t you still mad about Bill.
CARMINE: I realized that we have something Shirl. It’s very important. And I know that I could trust you with any guy you went with because you wouldn’t have that special “thing” that we have between us. No one will ever share that feeling with us. When I’m around I feel… happy and… I just can’t describe it!
There was a silence. He noticed Shirley was looking down and had tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked up and hugged him. They stood there in each other’s embrace. She invited Carmine in. They walked over to the couch.
SHIRLEY: Well that is so sweet1 I can’t find the words either!
CARMINE: So what do we do now?
They leaned closer together and started to kiss and couldn’t stop. Shirley didn’t try to pull away. She started to take off Carmine’s jacket and he began to slip his hand under her shirt. Shirley stopped.
SHIRLEY: You know… this really isn’t the place for this.
CARMINE: Your right!
So at that, Carmine and Shirley got up and ran to the bedroom. When they got there, they fell onto the bed and started again. Before the knew it, one thing lead to another and they had done something that Shirley was planing to do on her wedding night.
Next day
Shirley and Carmine were sitting on the couch together. They had everything on and had agreed to keep everything confidential. The only problem was, walking. If you know what I mean! ;) Haha!
The END!!!!!
