Transcript

*Mike looks around, smiling. He doesn’t notice Blur and Yashy chasing each other near the refreshment table.*

*Tess appears, smiling.*
Tess: You’re looking really happy tonight, Mike!
*Mike grins.*
Mike: Well, Tess..

*Mike blushes.*
Mike: I feel really hopeful this Christmas, y’know! Like something great might happen..

Mike: I know I shouldn’t be too superstitious.. But I got a REALLY good feeling about tonight..
*Tess smiles thoughtfully.*

*She grins and points at Mike.*
Tess: Maybe this’ll be your lucky year!
*He looks touched.*
Mike: Aww..

*Mike beams and sparkles.*
Mike: If I just hold out hope.. maybe it will!
*Tess looks over at something.*
Tess: Mmm..

Tess: You should try karaoke.
*Mike looks curious.*
Mike: Karaoke?
Tess: Yeah, we have a little setup over there.

*Sue is on stage singing. Amaya sits beside her, playing the guitar.*
Tess: A few people are performing already!

*Mike smiles and waves goodbye.*
Mike: I think I’ll pass. Let me roam around a little more.
*Tess smiles.*
Tess: Alright!

*Mike eyes the clock. It’s nearly 8:00.*
Mike (thinking): Hmm.. It is getting late..

*Mike smiles hopefully.*
Mike (thinking): Maybe it’ll really be like a fairy tale. When the clock strikes twelve..

*Mike stands by the punch bowl, arms crossed and smiling.*

*Daisy comes over and chats to Mike. He looks awkward.*

*Mike looks up at the clock again. It’s 10:25. He slumps against the wall, disappointed.*

Author commentary

Veronica: Mike is so CUUUTE. I’m surprised I haven’t made him wear his coat during the course of winter considering he’s painfully sensitive to the cold. He’s not a Lucy.

I admit I kinda got this way in senior year.. when prom was happening, I kind of hoped that Souppy would show up, even though that was impossible! How could he coordinate a secret surprise for me like that without knowing the venue, flying in on time, and traveling all the way to see me? Mike is being very silly to just assume Sandy is going to come visit him, but I feel you man. I totally get getting carried away with a daydream.

Unlike Mike, though, I knew it was a silly daydream, and I didn’t let it get to me. Just woulda been nice! Oh well!! I’ll see Souppy another day!

Only in my 3rd time reading I realized that the bowl next to Mike gets emptier with the passing of time!

Brilliant!

Sue and Amaya on stage! That girl has some mad skills for never talking…

Poor Mike. He should try to not put all of his attention to a girl that might show up. Have some fun ;)
