Shaine
(Proudly) Look Carl! I build a sand castle.
Carl
(Teasing) Wow! it's look amazing, for toddlers. *giggles*
Shaine
(Pissed) Oh, shut up! Everyone makes a sand castle. Kids, teens, and even adults enjoy making them.
Shaine
(Pick up a doll) and there should be a princess living in this castle *puts the doll at the top of the castle*
Carl
(said in a low voice) and if there's a princess there's also a monster... A big... scary... monster...!!
Carl
(threatening) Every night, it comes out and scare everyone who lives in that castle.
Shaine
(Scared) Carl! You made it now so scary.
Carl
(Laughing) Why? Are you scared?
Carl
(Smiling) Don't worry, It won't last long, though, since a knight will save everyone especially the princess from that monster.
Shaine
(Confused) Why knight? Shouldn't it be a Prince?
Carl
(Swaggering) He's not just an ordinary knight, He's a strong brave knight and he's also a prince, just like me brave and strong.
Shaine
(Giggles) You? you even scared at spider.
Carl
(Annoyed) Of course, not!
Shaine
(Shout) Aghh!! watch out! spider! *pointing*
Carl
(Panicked) Aghhh!! Where??
Shaine
(Laughing) See Hahahaha
Carl
(giggles) Well, you're always too grumpy to be a princess.
Carl
(grinning) Princesses should be patient and soft-spoken, unlike you; you're too cute for that.
Shaine
(Blush with pissed) Is that a compliment or what?
Shaine
(Upset) Oh no! My castle washed away.
Carl
(Calm) That's okay, I'll help you make another one.
Shaine
(Shyly) By the way, I'm inviting you for dinner tomorrow at my place. My parents wants to see you.
Carl
(Excitedly) Sure, I'll come! It's been so long since I meet your parents.

Carl
(pointing excitedly) Look Shaine! It's already sunset!
Shaine
(Admiring at the sunset) Wow, it's so beautiful.
Carl
(Staring at her) you're more beautiful than that.
Shaine
(Blushing) What have you just eaten that makes you act this sweet?
Carl
(Looking at her eyes) Nothing, I simply want to enjoy this wonderful moment with you while observing the beauty of the sunset. *Holds her hand*
Shaine
(Blushing) I want to share this experience with you too and enjoy every second of it.
Carl
(Smiling) Let's promise that from now
lets cherished every moment we have together and never leave each other.
Shaine
(Nodding) Yes! And let's keep our friendship and always be there for each other
Carl
(gazing at the sunset and whisper to the air) but I want more than that.

Carl
(Shyly greet) Hello Mr. and Mrs. Roces
Shaine's Father
(Welcoming) Welcome Carl!
Shaine's Mother
Carl, is that you? You are already so tall and handsome.
Carl
(Shyly) Oh, not really.
Shaine
(Giggles) he's still the old Carl you meet before mom. *chuckles*
Shaine's Mother
Come in Carl and join us for dinner.

Shaine's Mother
So, how are you and you're parents. It's been so long since you visited us here.
Carl
We're fine, my father found a new job with a big salary, and his boss seems so good and kind to him.
Shaine's Mother
Oh that's so good.
Shaine's Father
It's a good thing you're still studying at the same school as Shane.
Carl
Yes, I actually beg my father to stay at the same school even though it's too far from our house so that I can keep seeing Shaine there and talk to her every day.
Shaine
(Shock) What? so you did that just for that?

Shaine
(Trembling) Isn't the park lovely?
Carl
(Smiling) Yes, but it's even lovelier with you here.
Shaine
(Pauses) Carl, are you being serious?
Carl
Gathering courage) Yes, Shaine. Since we were kids, I couldn't help but notice how important you are to me.
Shaine
(Confused) What do you mean?
Carl
(Hesitating) Shaine, you're my best friend. But as time passed, I began to feel differently. I don't just see you as a friend anymore.
Shaine
(Blushing) What are you trying to say, Carl?
Carl
(Locking eyes with her) I want us to be more than just friends. Shaine, I love you.
Shaine
(Taken aback) Carl, I don't know what to say.
Carl
(Nervous) I understand; you might not feel the same way about me yet. But I want you to know that I'm willing to wait. I want to be honest about my feelings.
Shaine
(Smiling) Thank you, Carl. I'm not sure how to respond right now. But I do know you're important to me.
Carl
(Smiling) That's enough for now. I'm not expecting you to say yes right away. I just wanted you to know.
