Waiting for Minako by DDFA (Mark A Page) Part Two - The Boat -------------------------------------------------------------------- Scene: Makoto and Ami, sitting on a brick wall in an empty park, somewhere in Tokyo. In the background are the sounds of distant explosions and various emergency vehicles. There is smoke blowing across the sky from somewhere in another part of town. Both Makoto and Ami are totally disinterested. Makoto: She's late, you know. Ami: Yes, very late. Makoto: Very, very late. Ami: Yes, very very late. Makoto: Yes, very very late. Ami: Yes, she is, isn't she? Makoto: Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. Ami: I wonder where she's got to. Makoto: Maybe she was where that plane came down. Ami: ..... Makoto: ..... Ami: Nah, that's not possible. She lives nowhere near that part of town. Makoto: Yeah, you're right, as usual. Ami: ..... Makoto: ..... Ami: What do you mean by "as usual". Makoto: Hmm? Ami: What do you mean by "as usual"? Makoto: Mean? I meant you're always right about these things. Ami: Are you saying I'm a smartarse? Makoto: What makes you think that I think that!?! Ami: ..... Makoto: ..... Ami: Sorry. Makoto: I should think so, too. Ami: I must be getting touchy. Makoto: Yeah, all this waiting is beginning to get to me, too. Ami: ..... Makoto: ..... Ami: ..... Makoto: ..... Ami: Maybe she's doing this, deliberately. Makoto: Eh? Ami: Maybe she made alternative arrangements with Usagi-chan and Rei-chan. Makoto: Now that's just being silly. Ami: Are you calling me silly? Makoto: Yes, I'm calling you silly. You're allowing your imagination to run away with you. Ami: I am not, and it is a genuine possibility. Makoto: Well I say it's all in your head. Ami: Tis not. Makoto: Tis so. Ami: Tis not. Makoto: Tis so. Ami: ..... Makoto: Well, have you given up? Ami: ..... Makoto: What ARE you staring at? Ami: ..... Makoto: Ami? Ami: There is someone rowing a boat down the street. Makoto: Eh? Ami: No kidding. There is someone rowing a boat down the street. Makoto: Now I know you're letting your imagination run away with you. Ami: Look for yourself. Makoto: ..... Ami: ..... Makoto: ..... Ami: ..... Makoto: ..... Ami: ..... Makoto: ..... Ami: ..... Makoto: What do you know.... There IS someone rowing a boat down the street. Ami: On little wheels no less. Makoto: What a novel way to get around. Ami: If not a little silly. Makoto: ..... Ami: ..... Makoto: She's probably hiding around the corner, having a good laugh at our expense. Ami: Yes. yes, she probably is.
