Lucy: The snowflakes keep teasing me..

Mike: Well, if this keeps up, we’ll definitely be staying home tomorrow!

*Lucy smiles, slightly.*
Lucy: Yeah, maybe..

*Lucy notices something ahead of her.*

*David sits on the ground in front of them, his eyes closed in determination.*
Lucy: David? What are you doing?

David: I’m fighting the tyranny!
Lucy: Tyranny?

*David shakes a fist in the air.*
David: Yeah, they’ve gone too far this time! I’m boycotting school until we get our snow day!

David: Before you know it, they’ll kneel before me, cancel class..
*David points to himself with a grin.*
David: .. and make me president!

*Mike tosses his hand dismissively.*
Mike: Or.. you know.. mark you absent.
David: Spoken like a true communist!

David: C’mon, Lucy-baby, whydontcha join me?

David: We can fight together for a great cause!

*David blushes.*
David: Maybe discover hidden feelings along the way? Whatcha say?

Lucy: That is a pretty noble cause, David!

*David’s face shines with excitement, his eyes sparkling.*

*Mike and Lucy walk away together.*

*David shouts after them.*
David: WELL WHAT THE HECK DO YOU LIKE THEN?!

Author commentary

Veronica: I like that David is doing a sit-in… in the middle of nowhere. Not even in front of the school! You know a teacher would only encourage him to get up and get inside… where it’s warm.

You know what she likes!!!!!
