The Big Aiyah

ACT II

Scene Isplit stage; stage left - Ukulele Princess on phone laying on bed in bedroom; stage right - DVC Days on cell phone in living room

UP: So did you want me to bring anything tomorrow for dinner?
DVCD: No just yourself. I've taken the liberty to take care of everything.
UP: What are you cooking for dinner? Let me at least bring dessert or something?
DVCD: I've got the main dish already prepped along with two side dishes and I've got dessert already planned...lemon squares...and the wine is already chilling.
Ukulele Princess smiles
UP: Wow, a man with more domestic skills than me. That's nice!

the conversation continues and by now DVC Days has agreed to go to Ukulele Princess' gig at the Hawaiian Cafe this weekend

DVCD: I think I can make it after work.
UP: Great. Just a warning though, they may ask a lot of questions.
DVCD: Why?
UP: Ummm...I don't normally bring male friends around the band. The last time I did, and he was just a friend who wanted to check out the music, Uncle ignored us twice and when I was able to introduce him to my friend he says in a fatherly kind of way, "She's my student you know!" as he pointed at me and not really smiling.
DVCD: How about this... why don't I go right up to you and kiss you so they don't have any questions as to who I am to you?

single spotlight on front left stage
Ukulele Princess walks to spotlight

UP talking to the audience: Am I just dense? What's he really saying? So then...who is he thinking he is to me? Are we thinking the same thing? When am I supposed to know we've moved on from being acquaintances, friends? I wish there was a Dating Manual...

Spotlight goes out
