★ Eight - Wake up Little Susie

[redwhiteandhero]

A] 1445 Mitchell Road - Morning

[Ahhh, what a lovely sunny day in Mayfield! Assuming all that other mess is done with. America feels exceptionally well-rested today!

He puts on his bathrobe and slippers and heads downstairs to pick up the newspaper off the front porch before starting on breakfast, and-- wait.

July 23rd?]

I missed my birthday!?

B] Neutron Diner - Afternoon

[Bummed out about apparently misplacing three weeks somewhere, including the most important day of the year, America has helped himself to a very large ice cream sundae and is eating it all by himself.]

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah! That's a great idea!

[willbeurprincess]

Ah! Okay I'll do that then. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

[redwhiteandhero]

So... you guys are like, married now?

[This just occurred to him.]

[willbeurprincess]

I--[Bright red]--Well we aren't--we're dating but--It's just Mayfield marriage.

[Taking a long sip, not meeting his eyes]

1/2

[redwhiteandhero]

Well that's what I mea--

[redwhiteandhero]

Lith's got a girlfriend?

[willbeurprincess]

[SO. RED.]

Well...well we started dating just before the carnival.

[redwhiteandhero]

Good for him.

[willbeurprincess]

[Laughs softly] Don't say anything to him. I'm sure he'd just get all flustered.

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[willbeurprincess]

[ Somehow she doesn't have high hopes.]

Are you really going to eat all that?

[redwhiteandhero]

Do you want some?

[willbeurprincess]

Oh no--I have my milkshake. [She lifts it up to show him and takes a sip again] I just can't believe you could really eat it all.

[redwhiteandhero]

Of course I can do it!

[willbeurprincess]

Heh just don't make yourself sick.

[redwhiteandhero]

You don't know me so well, do ya.

[willbeurprincess]

Of course I don't. I only met you a little while ago.

[redwhiteandhero]

[He pats his stomach.] This bad boy can take anything I throw at it.

[willbeurprincess]

Surely there is a limit. Or do you win all your--ah... eating contests?

[redwhiteandhero]

I usually don't enter, 'cause that'd be cheating.

[willbeurprincess]

[Little giggle] I suppose it would be.

[redwhiteandhero]

I'm still a growing country you know!

[willbeurprincess]

You don't grow well here.

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah... I guess not.

[willbeurprincess]

Though I think you grow a little bit more still. I think. I don't remember if you have A...araska or Hawaii yet... [word fail]
