Transcript

*Daisy clutches her stuffed bear and stares at Mike, crushed.*
Mike: I can’t be interested in you.. I won’t be interested in you..

Mike: I will NEVER BE interested in you!!
*Mike glares at Daisy, holding a hand to his chest.*

*Daisy grabs Mike’s hand in hers, clinging to him. She looks at him pleadingly.*
Daisy: Just listen to me for once!
*Mike stares at her with a panicked look. His ears are back.*
Mike: NO! I told you, I’m sorry, but NO!

*Mike tilts his head at Daisy, pouting his lip.*
Mike: We had so much fun tonight, just as friends.. Why do you want to ruin what we already have?

*Daisy throws herself at Mike, her eyes desperate.*
Daisy: Because we could have even more fun if you just gave me a chance!!
*Mike watches her, startled and scared.*
Mike: Daisy, I--

*Daisy puts a hand on Mike’s cheek and kisses him on the lips.*

*Daisy and Mike stand alone in the park. Daisy closes her eyes, leans forward and pulls Mike into her kiss. Mike’s arms dangle uselessly by his sides.*

*Mike shoves Daisy backward, startling her. Her eyes go wide as Mike holds his palm up in front of her face.*

*Daisy stares at Mike, wounded.*

*Mike stands alone, glaring angrily at Daisy.*
Mike: You..
Mike: .. disgust me.

*Daisy looks up at Mike, heartbroken. She begins to cry.*
Daisy: MIKIE!!
Mike: You think you can just force me into loving you back? What’s gotten into you?!

*Mike scowls at Daisy, looking disgusted.*
Mike: I don’t even know who the hell you are right now.. Definitely not the Daisy I know.

*Daisy listens to Mike, startled and horrified.*
Mike: How could you ever expect me to love you for someone you’re not?

*Daisy clutches her bear to her chest, face falling. Her ears are down.*

*Daisy looks down, trembling, with tears in her eyes. She looks miserable.*

*Daisy turns her face away, holding the bear so tightly that she squashes it. She trembles and starts crying hard.*

*Mike watches, frowning in worry as Daisy runs off sobbing.*

*Mike stands alone, closing his eyes in exhaustion and pressing two fingers to his forehead.*

That is sooooo harsh. I kinda feel bad for Daisy, but she shouldn’t have pushed so much -,- I wasn’t sure, tho, if Mikie would be faithful to Sandy, I’m glad he is.

I gotta say, Mike is being more of a man than most teenage lads would be in this situation. It is VERY hard to break away from a kiss, especially when you’re as sexually deprived as he is.
