\\#78 The Dating Game;

Sandy: Sigh! Isn’t Love in Bloom the most romantic theme for a dance?

Lila: I know, it’s gonna be awesome. The gym is such a romantic place! I just wish Daddy would buy me the gold bracelet I saw at Bibi’s the other day…

Jessica: Hey, did anyone see that show about dreams last night? I did, plus I read an entire magazine article about it, so I’m pretty sure that makes me an expert. I had this dream where I pass all sorts of hot guys as I walk down the beach virtually naked –

Amy: Uh, Jess, are you sure you’re not just talking about last weekend?

Jessica: Shut up, this is my story. Anyway, then it starts raining and I see the hottest guy in the entire world, which I somehow know even though I can’t see him.

Jean: I wish I could meet a hot guy.

Amy: Yeah, since Tom turned out to be gay and all.

Jessica: Sheesh, Amy, could you possibly be more insensitive?

--------------------------

Claire: Oh, I wish I had a date for the dance!

Scott: Hey football pals, aren’t I hot?

Danny: If you say so.

Scott: Trust me, I’m really, really spectacular. Any chick would love to date me.

Liz: Can you believe what a big ego Scott has?

Todd: Oh please, not another feminist crusade!

--------------------------

Jessica: So, last night I had the same dream but this time it was definitely on an island. Would anyone mind if I saved up to run off to Hawaii to meet the guy of my dreams?

Ned: Knock yourself out, dear.

----------------------------

Scott’s Letter to Jean: Dear Jean, you’re so hot. I want to get in your pants. But I’ll say it in a poetic way so that you might fall in love with me.

Jean: Sigh! I’ll meet you at the Box Tree, Scott.

Scott: I’ll be waiting, babe.

Liz: Ugh! You pig! I know, I’ll write an article for The Oracle about what attracts teenagers to each other.

-------------------------------

Jessica: Wow, I’m totally going to make tons of money as a dream expert!

Liz: Jess, I’m pretty sure that’s false advertising.

Jessica: Please, Liz. I’ve read several pages of some pretty big books on the topic. If that doesn’t qualify me, I don’t want to know what does!

Liz: Um, a masters degree or PhD in psychology, maybe?

Jessica: Stop being such a wet blanket! I’m earning money to go to Hawaii and meet my dream man! His name is Jackson!

Liz: Well, if it gets you and your nutty self out of here, I hope it works!

------------------------------

Claire: Hey Jean, wanna go shopping?

Jean: Sure, I got asked out in a letter and could use a new outfit.

Claire: What a coincidence! So did I!

Jean: You’d think one of us would ask the other who the guy is, but let’s skip that and just go shopping!

Claire: Hmm. Well, mine’s Scott.

Jean: Mine too! Let’s make that bastard pay!

Claire: Okay! Wow, was that a boring date. Your turn!

Jean: Oh crap, I think I like him!

Claire: How was your date?

Jean: Uh, nothing special, not at all, nope!

-------------------------

Liz: Jess, how can you fill in my survey for The Oracle and say that looks are the most important thing in a potential mate?

Jessica: Because clothes and money aren’t choices.

Liz: Boys are shallower than girls.

Todd: Hey, don’t generalize like that, woman!

Lila: Jessica! It’s unreal! Daddy bought me that bracelet, just like you said he would! You must have some sort of expertise in predicting dreams coming true!

Liz: Either that, or your dad’s a bazilionaire that spoils you rotten.

------------------------------

Liz: Let me get this straight, your both dating Scott in order to ultimately humiliate him?

Claire & Jean: Yup!

Liz: Rock on! Give that sexist pig what he deserves!

Claire: We’re going to pretend to compete for his love, then totally humiliate him when he announces which of us he chooses by turning him down!

Scott: So ladies, I hear you’re planning to compete for my affections. Let the games begin!

Jean: Arghh, I keep totally falling for his lines!

Scott: That’s because with you, I really mean it, baby.

Jean: How do I know you’re not saying the same thing to Claire?

Scott: What, you don’t trust a guy that comes on to 2 chicks and then makes them publicly fight for him?

Jean: Oh, you’re so right Scotty!

--------------------------

Jessica: All this dream interpreting made me forget to do my travel brochure project for English. Well, since I have all this info on Hawaii since I’ll be joining Jackson there shortly, might as well start with those. Let’s see, this first one has a picture of a totally hot babe, and it’s for Jackson’s Funtime Fashions – hmm, Jackson, that’s a familiar name, and this model looks familiar too. Uh oh-

Liz: Oh Jess, you were dreaming about a catalog model? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! But you can still go to Hawaii anyway if you want. Then I will be the BEST twin, because I’ll be the ONLY twin, mwuah ha ha!

--------------------------

Jean: I have a problem, Liz. I know Scott’s been a totally egotistical slimebucket, but I fell in love with him anyway.

Liz: With THAT piece of trash? Well, there’s no accounting for taste. I guess you have to be honest.

Scott: Everyone, everyone! Pay attention to me now! I’ve chosen the woman for me! Jean West, come on down!

Jean: You slimeball!

Scott: Right, well, by “Jean West” I obviously meant “Claire Middleton.”

Claire: You scumbag, I’m going out with Danny.

Liz: But Jean, I thought –

Jean: You’re right, Liz. I’ll talk to him. Scott, I’m sorry, I love you! I don’t care that you treated Claire and I like objects, or that you acted like a child!

Scott: Oh Jean, I love you too!

Liz: And Todd, I’m sorry I said guys are shallow.

Todd: Wow, you’re hot when you’re angry! Less talking, more making out with me!

-------------------------

Sara: Well, I guess it’s time to set up the plot for the next book by giving some basic info about me, such as that I have a twin brother with a troubled past, even though this is pretty much my first appearance in an SVH book.

Bob: Oh Sara, I’m so rich and handsome. And you’re so pure and good. I love that about you.

Sara: Me too. Everything’s perfect, just perfect. And it’ll stay that way if it’s the last thing I do!
