The Flower Shop
Friday Afternoon
Peter walked into the flower shop and tried to avoid looking at Miranda, who was smiling at him. She was very pretty, but she was distracting him from the task at hand. Or was it foot?
Hi, Peter," Miranda said, walking up to him. "Uh, hi, Miranda," Peter said, mentally kicking himself for being such a dummy.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I need to buy some flowers."
"Then you've come to the right place. What do you need them for?" she asked, putting her hand on his arm.
Peter tried to concentrate, but it was hard. If he fainted now he would never forgive himself or the Writer. He heard a voice say, "Patience Grasshopper." "I need the flowers for Mike," he said. "Micky invited Ellen to dinner and he told me to get flowers for Mike." That sounded really dumb.
"I don't understand. If Micky invited her, why does Mike need flowers?'
"It's not Micky's girl, it's Mike. Micky invited her as a surprise for Mike." That made a little more sense.
"I think I understand. What kind of flowers do you need? We have lots of different types of roses or irises."
"No, I need flowers to put on the table, something simple, something like that," he said, pointing to an assortment of various flowers. "How much is that?"
"Today's special," she said. "Free." she handed him the flowers. "Thanks, Miranda, he said and turned to leave, only to walk into a wall. Embarrassed, he looked around for the door and left, hearing Miranda laugh softly behind him.
End Intermission
Part Two
Mrs. Purdy's house
Saturday Morning
Micky and Peter went to Mrs. Purdy's house Saturday morning to help cook dinner for that night. "We should have done this earlier," Micky said. "We'll never be done in time."
"Of course we will, you've just got to have a little faith, Micky," Peter said.
"Hello boys," Mrs. Purdy said. "Have you decided what to do?" "Yeah," Micky said. "This scene is not needed. Cut to later tonight."
