30 - Finally

2005

Late Friday night in the sitting room …

MEZ:

Cammeo, I've been looking for you.


CAMMEO:

I'm sorry I left so abruptly. I just had to get away

from that new girl. She touched my hair.


MEZ:

It’s OK - I know how you feel about vampires.

CAMMEO:

I suppose you do. I hope I didn't offend Esmodonti though.

You don't think she's upset with me - do you?

MEZ:

No, she had ... other things on her mind. Anyway 

I don't want to talk about her. Look Cammeo, 

I'm just going to come right out with this.

CAMMEO:

It sounds important. 


MEZ:

Cammeo, if it's OK with you ... I thought we could go to

a movie, just the two of us. You know, on an official date.

CAMMEO:

A date? But ... would it be proper, 

without a chaperone?

MEZ:

That’s the whole point. We’ve got too many chaperones 

around here. What do you say?

CAMMEO:

I’m a bit surprised you want to take me.


MEZ:

Why? You’re amazing.

CAMMEO:

That’s so nice of you to say but  ... look at me. 

I’m so ... plain and you, well you’re so ...

MEZ:

What?


CAMMEO:

It’s just that I’m ... nobody.

MEZ:

I don’t think you’re nobody, I think you’re very special.

Why else would I be hanging around you all the time?


CAMMEO:

You mean ... you really like me?


MEZ:

'Course I do. Can't you tell?  Don't you like me too?

CAMMEO:

Oh yes, very much!


MEZ:

Then – will you go with me?


CAMMEO:

I'd truly like that.


MEZ:

Wow.


CAMMEO:

Oh Mez, I feel as if beautiful butterflies

are softly flying about in my stomach.

MEZ:

Me too.

CAMMEO:

Let’s not let them stop.
