Nervous
Alex stood nervous,
outside Luna’s door.
Curious if she was there.
He listened close,
her music played.
He raised his hand to knock.
The music stopped,
and Alex paused.
He was worried she was still mad.
He changed his mind,
and turned to leave.
Then Alex disappeared.
Luna watched,
from down the hall.
He didn’t see her there.
She wanted to stop him,
but didn’t.
Afraid that he was still mad.Friday, August 9, 2013
Roller Derby
Alex: “Luna, what the hell are you doing?”
“I have to pee.”
“Yes, I can tell by the unfortunate hold you have on
yourself. Would you please let go.”
“I seriously have to pee.”
“We’re in public, knock it off.”
“I really, really have to pee.”
“And why didn’t you think of this before you put on skates?”
“Didn’t have to go then, duh.”
“So, what are you waiting for then? Go!”
“I don’t know how to skate.”
“You what?”
“I don’t know how to skate.”
“Luna, why the hell did you drag me to a roller rink then?”
“I don’t know.”
“Let go of yourself!”
“No! Push me to the bathroom.”
“Push you? No! I don’t get paid enough to do that kind of
shit.”
“Oh but I think you do, hurry please.”
“Grrrrr.”
“Pleeeeeease?”
“Fine. Let’s go.”
“Whoa, careful! Push slower.”
“Shut up.”
“Hey did that kid just point and laugh at me?”
“Yes he did Luna, keep moving.”
“Oh, hell no! He ain’t getting away with that.”
“Hey, I thought you had to pee!”
“Get back here you miserable little prick!”
Hey, I thought you couldn’t skate!”
“I’m going to kick his ass.”
“Luna, you are a fucking little liar!”
“Take that! You stupid little shit.”
“LUNA! I can’t believe you just tripped him!”
“I didn’t mean to.”
“No, of course not! Now where are you going?”
“Move it, I still have to pee.”
“Let go of yourself, god dammit!”
“No way!”
“I’ll give you a hundred dollars to fucking let go.”
“Okay! Sold. Pay up.”
“Don’t have to pee anymore?”
“No, not really. Pay up.”
“Luna, I don’t appreciate…”
“Pay up.”
*sigh*
“Thank-you sir, you’re the best! Put your skates on, okay? I’m
going to take over the jukebox. I
wonder how many times this will play my favorite song over and over again. Don’t
try to leave me here like you did last week at the circus, okay? I still have
clown paint in places it should never grace. Anyway, I’ll be right back but I’ll
be watching you sir, watching you like a hawk.”
“Luna, watch where you’re going.”
“Ouch!”
“Fucking hell.”
“Stupid pole.”

Joyride
Alex: “Luna, where have you
been?”
“Nowhere.”
“Why is your purse wet?”
“I’m not sure!”
“Where are the keys to my car?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why does your hair look like
you’ve been out for a joyride?”
“It does?”
“I spent the afternoon
listening to the police scanner, Luna.”
“Oh really?”
“Someone kept them awfully
busy and for quite some time.”
“Huh, weird. So did they
catch the guy?”
“No Luna, it would appear
that they did not.”
“Bummer. Sounds entertaining!”
“Oh, it was.”
“What an apple? So, exactly what
kind of mischief did this person cause?”
“Well for starters, she held
up a fruit stand with a leaky squirt-gun and no, I do not want an apple.”
“She?”
“Yes, she. They weren’t
fooled by the fake mustache.”
“Hahaha! Funny.”
“Hand over my keys.”
“I told you already, I don’t
have them.”
“What the hell where you thinking,
when you come to a complete stop on the freeway?”
“I had to let out that
homeless guy.”
“Luna.”
“He said something about getting
car sick.”
“From doing donuts in the
park, perhaps?”
“It wasn’t me.”
“It was you.”
“I was just teasing sir, I would
never take your car out for a joyride, ever.”
“There’s a bug stuck to your
forehead.”
“Ew! There is not.”
“That’s what happens when you
stick your head out of a fast moving car.”
“I just wanted to tell that
dick in front of me to move it.”
“Luna.”
“It wasn’t me.”
“You have another bug stuck
on your cheek.”
“Gross! You’re just trying to
make me confess.”
“Smile, I bet there’s a few in your teeth.”
“Ew!”
“Sure enough, there they
are.”
“EW EW EW! I need a mirror.”
“Get back here. You’re not
going anywhere until I get my keys.”
“Let go!”
“Keys.”
“But I already told you I
didn’t…”
“Keys.”
“Dammit! Fine. Here are your
stupid keys. Now let go.”
“Not a chance.”
“Hey! That’s not fair.”
“I can’t believe you managed
to elude the police, Luna. What the hell did you do with the plates to my car?”
“I put them on Asa’s car,
why?”
“My car was reported stolen.”
“Uh-oh.”
“Go wash your face Luna, I’m
going to listen to the scanner some more.”

Stilettos
Luna:
“Hi Anthony. How are you today? …My non-social, muted guard. I still don’t understand why they hired you. Least you could
do is talk to me.
That’s a very lovely black shirt you have on there, Anthony.
It matches your black pants, black shoes and black jacket. It kind of reminds
of what you wore yesterday… a black shirt, black pants, black shoes and
matching jacket. Weird.
I’d like to see you in something I don’t know, not black. I’d
like to see you in blue jeans! Well, I’d
like to see you in nothing at all but lucky for you, I would never say such an inappropriate thing. I'm classy like that., always taking the high road.
Oh, and speaking of classy... Do you like my new stilettos? Check
out the cleats on the bottom. I made them myself. As soon as I get them
strapped on, I want to go show them to Asa.
I know he probably told you not to tell me where he is but I
want you to lead the way. Think you can handle it?
Okay I’m ready to go.
Let’s go.
I said let’s go!
Take me to Asa, god dammit!
Listen, you’re new around here Anthony but let me fill you
in on something you’ll soon learn. I
make the rules around here, so just do yourself a fucking favor and take me to Asa.
Anthony, if you don’t take me to Asa right now, I’m going to
stomp on your foot with my new shoes. What do you think of that, bitch!
Asa: “ANTHONY!
Whoa hey buddy! Put the girl down! Put Luna down... there you go... release the headlock…easy,
easy. Perfect. Luna what the hell is going on here?”
Luna: “Hi Asa. Do you remember last night when you told
me I was a mouthy spoiled rotten brat that would never amount to anything, doesn’t
know when to shut up and can’t control her temper?”
Asa: “Yeah, so what?”
*Stomp!*

Lemonade
Alex: “Why are
you walking through the house with a shovel, Luna?”
“No reason.”
…
“Now what are you doing with a ladder?”
“Nothing.”
…
“Alright. Get back here with that chainsaw, Luna.”
“This one?”
“Yes that one. What exactly are you doing?”
“I’m helping with the landscape.”
“Oh really. And what does the landscape crew think of that?”
“I don’t think they like it.”
“I don’t imagine they do. Give me the chainsaw.”
“I’m not done with it.”
“I think you are.”
“But it’s the only way I know how to get that branch off
your car.”
“What!”
“Just kidding! Hahaha.”
“Dammit Luna. Just stay inside while they’re here.”
“Fine. I’m gonna go make 'em lemonade.”
“Non-alcoholic this time, Luna.”
“Whatever.”

At the Museum
“Asa! Holy shit, what are you doing here?”
“What the hell are YOU doing here Luna, we had plans!”
“Don’t let Alex see you.”
“Fuck him. Let’s go.”
“No!”
“Excuse me?”
“I don’t want to cause any trouble.”
“Luna, I’m going to hold out my hand and you’re going to
take it. Then, we’re going to walk out of here unnoticed. Do it.”
“No.”
“Take my fucking hand!”
“No!”
“I said, take it!”
“Ouch! Let go, you’re squeezing it too tight!”
Alex: “Let go of her, Asa.”
“Fuck you, Alex.”
“Let go of her. People are starting to stare.”
“Fuck I hate you, Alex.”
“I don’t fucking care.”
“Fucking god dammit! Fine, you twat. I’m out of here but
first I have to tell Luna a secret. Come here, babe.”
“No, I don’t want to hear a secret.”
“I said come here!”
Asa grabbed Luna by the arm. He leaned in to tell her a
secret then bit her ear instead. She knew it was coming, he’d done it
before. She tried not to make a scene. He turned and left as everyone watched.
Luna had some explaining to do.
