INT. LIBRARY - DAY

 

Andrew, Edison, and Megan sit at a study table. Edison is on a dating app.

 

ANDREW

How's the dating app stuff going?

 

EDISON

Terrible. All these profiles either want me to follow them on Instagram or they’re just plain spam.

 

MEGAN

Told you.

 

ANDREW

I can set you up with my cousin. She just got out of a bad relationship.

 

EDISON

Thank you but no. Megan, aren’t any of your female friends straight?

 

MEGAN

Yes, quite a few.

 

EDISON

Can you set me up with one of them?

 

MEGAN

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh-

 

Sarah and Brittaney appear at the table and take a seat.

 

SARAH

Hey, so Britt and I were talking, and we were thinking of having a


little Christmas party this Friday.

 

ANDREW

I thought we had dinner with your parents.

 

SARAH

They had to cancel.

 

ANDREW

Aw man. I was hoping to continue talking to your dad about football and other sports.

 

SARAH

Andrew, sweetheart, my dad knew you were faking.

 

ANDREW

Really?

 

SARAH

His first clue was when you called football the sport with the weird shaped ball.

 

ANDREW

Oh.

 

SARAH

So, about the party? What do you all think?

 

EDISON

We can't have parties anymore.

 

SARAH

Not at your apartment. Britt and I moved in together.

 

ANDREW

Sounds fun.

 

BRITT

Great. Megan? Edison?

 

EDISON

I'm in.


MEGAN

Yeah.

 

SARAH

Okay then. This Friday at 6. See you all there.

 

Sarah and Brittaney leave. Edison gets up.

 

EDISON

Well, I got to go to class and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually excited for the distraction.

 

Edison leaves.

 

INT. SARAH AND BRITTANEY’S APARTMENT - NIGHT

 

Andrew, Sarah, and Brittaney talk to other invited guests. The room is decorated in the spirit of Christmas. On one table, there is food and refreshments. Everyone is dressed in casual formal wear.

 

Edison and Megan enter.

 

MEGAN

Are you sure you can do this?

 

EDISON

Can I party? Of course, I can. You’re looking at the king of parties.

 

MEGAN

What I meant is, can you handle being around Brittaney?

 

EDISON

Yeah. Yeah, we talked and we have an understanding now. We’re friends. Good friends.

 

Edison and Megan join the others.

 

The party goes along splendidly. Everyone is having a good time. Even Edison and Brittaney are having fun together.

The old group of friends enjoy themselves.


MARIO (Italian, 21) enters the apartment. Brittaney sees him and excitedly motions for him to come over which Mario does.

 

BRITTANEY

Everyone, this is Mario.

 

MARIO

Ciao.

 

The group stare at Mario.

 

SARAH

Nice to meet you Mario.

 

MARIO

You too Sarah.

 

ANDREW

Nice to meet you. I’m Andrew by the way.

 

MARIO

Ciao Andrew.

 

MEGAN

And I’m Megan.

 

MARIO

Aw yes, the Lebanese woman.

 

BIRTTANET

Lesbian sweetheart.

 

MARIO

Ah yes, sorry. My English is good but not perfect.

 

The group nods in understanding.

 

BRITTANEY

And this is Edison.

 

MARIO

Ahhhh Edison. Brittaney has told me a lot about you.

 

EDISON

All good, I hope.


MARIO

Yes, of course.

 

BRITTANEY

Mario let’s introduce you to the others.

 

MARIO

See you later.

 

Brittaney and Mario leave the group and talk to other people.

 

SARAH

Wow. He is the hottest man I’ve ever seen.

 

ANDREW

Uh-

 

SARAH

Other than you of course.

 

ANDREW

Good save.

 

MEGAN

No kidding. For a second, I thought I was straight.

 

EDISON

So, what, he’s Italian. Big deal. You know they were an axis power in World War II.

 

Andrew, Sarah, and Megan stare at Edison in mild surprise.

 

EDISON

I know things.

 

SARAH

You’re just mad cause now you have confirmation that Brittaney truly has moved on.

 

EDISON

We’ll see about that.

 

ANDREW


Oh no, he’s planning on doing something stupid.

 

Edison walks over to Mario. Brittaney is getting snacks.

 

EDISON

So, Mario, I’m sure that Brittaney has told you about us.

 

MARIO

Yes, that you two use to date and were in love.

 

EDISON

Wait, she said what?

 

MARIO

She said that you two were in love.

 

EDISON

When did she say this?

 

MARIO

On our first date. She talked a lot about you that night. Said how she missed you and how maybe she made a mistake. To be honest, I almost ended the relationship that very night but then-

 

EDISON

Yeah, nice talking to you. I’m gonna get a drink. You want one?

 

Before Mario can respond, Edison leaves. Andrew and Sarah sit on the couch.

ANDREW

You know, it’s been one year since I ran across campus in the cold to ask you out.

 

SARAH

And slipped and fell on your butt breaking your tailbone.

 

Andrew shifts in his seat.


ANDREW

Yeah, forgot about that.

 

Andrew and Sarah smile at each other and kiss.

 

SARAH

Hey, I was thinking. You’ve met my parents.

 

ANDREW

Yeah.

 

SARAH

How about I meet yours?

 

ANDREW

Ohhhhhhh yeah that’s… that's going to be a little difficult.

 

SARAH

Are they going on another trip? Every time I ask to meet them, they always go on some trip? Do they not like me?

 

ANDREW

No. No it’s not that.

 

SARAH

Then what is it?

 

ANDREW

Well… They don’t exactly... know about us.

 

SARAH

You haven’t told them we're dating?

 

ANDREW

Yes, but also no. What I meant was, they don’t know you exist.

 

Sarah leans away from Andrew.

 

SARAH

What do you mean they don’t know I exist?

 

ANDREW


I haven’t told them about you.

 

SARAH

Andrew, why don’t your parents know I exist?

 

ANDREW

I-

 

SARAH

I told my parents about us the first day we met.

 

ANDREW

It’s just-

 

SARAH

Are you embarrassed by me?

 

ANDREW

ME embarrassed by YOU. Sarah, look at you and then look at me.

 

SARAH

What is it?

 

The other guests begin looking over at Andrew and Sarah.

 

ANDREW

Can we talk about this another time?

 

SARAH

No, we’re going to talk about this now. Why don’t your parents know about me?

 

ANDREW

Because they are terrible people.

 

SARAH

What?

 

ANDREW

They’re terrible people. They don’t love each other. All they do is fight. I didn’t want to expose you tothat.

 

SARAH


Oh please Andrew, every couple fights.

 

ANDREW

Not like them.

 

SARAH

Do your parents know about Megan?

 

ANDREW

Yes.

 

SARAH

And Edison?

 

ANDREW

Um yeah.

 

SARAH

Wait, what about Gabby. Did you tell them about Gabby?

 

ANDREW

Uhhhhhhhhh.

 

SARAH

Oh… my… gosh. You were okay with telling them about Gabby but not me?

 

ANDREW

Gabby was different. I didn’t really see a future with her.

 

Megan walks over to the couple.

 

MEGAN

Hey so everyone can actually hear you.

 

ANDREW

No shit Megan.

 

EXT. APARTMENT COMPLEX - NIGHT

 

Snow falls and cakes the ground. Edison stands outside fighting to stay warm. Brittaney exits her apartment.

 

BRITTANEY


I got your text. What’s wrong?

 

EDISON

Why are we fooling ourselves?

 

BRITTANEY

What?

 

EDISON

Brittaney, I love you and I know you love me.

 

BRITTANEY

Oh Edison-

 

EDISON

Mario told me that you told him that you loved me. That you regretted us breaking up.

 

BRITTANEY

Edison.

 

EDISON

Britt, It’s supposed to be you and me. We’re endgame. Like Jim and Karen.

 

BRITTANEY

You mean Jim and Pam.

 

EDISON

No, I mean Karen. Don’t get me wrong, I like Pam, but Jim was an idiot for dumping Karen.

 

Edison takes Brittaney's hand.

 

EDISON

I reserved a table for us at a VERY expensive restaurant. I had to raid Andrew’s money stash. He thinks he's so clever when he hides it in his sock drawer.

 

BRITTANEY

Edison.

 

EDISON

Yeah?


BRITTANEY

I’m with Mario now, I’m not going to just give that up.

 

EDISON

But you told him-

 

BRITTANEY

That was during my first week in Italy. Of course, I felt regrets. But then Mario and I started to hang out more and more and then we... got together.

 

Brittaney lets go of Edison’s hand.

 

EDISON

What’re you saying?

 

BRITTANEY

I’m saying that we can either be friends or nothing at all.

 

Sad pause.

 

BRITTANEY

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go back to my party.

 

Brittaney leaves Edison standing in the cold. Snow falls around him.

 

Later.

 

INT. SARAH AND BRITTANEY’S APARTMENT - NIGHT

 

The party is over. Andrew and Sarah are still on the couch.

 

ANDREW

I’m gonna go.

 

SARAH

Okay.

 

Andrew gets up and heads to the door.

 

ANDREW

Are we good?


SARAH

I don’t know.

 

Andrew Leaves.

 

Edison sits at a high-end restaurant. A WAITER walks over.

 

EDISON

Can I get more bread?

 

WAITER

I’m not sure if your guest is coming, we’re going to have to ask you to give up the table.

 

Andrew and Megan approach the table.

 

ANDREW

We’re here. Sorry we’re late.

 

The three friends smile at each other. Edison turns to the waiter.

 

EDISON

More bread please.

 

The waiter takes the empty basket and leaves.

 

EDISON

Thanks.

 

ANDREW

Don’t mention it. Besides, I’m technically paying for this.

 

MEGAN

So, we heard about what happened with Brittaney.

 

EDISON

She really is with Mario.

 

MEGAN

Well, at least you’re not Andrew.

 

EDISON

Why, what happened?

 

ANDREW


Sarah found out that I didn’t tell my parents about us.

 

EDISON

Ouch.

 

ANDREW

Yeah.

 

Edison fills Megan’s glass with wine and offers to fill Andrew’s glass. Andrew takes the bottle and starts chugging it.

 

ANDREW

Is it just me, or has this semester just been one bad thing after another?

 

MEGAN

Yeah, it’s been bad. Really, really bad.

 

Edison raises his glass.

 

EDISON

Here’s to a better second semester.

 

Megan picks up an empty glass and clinks with Edison's glass and Andrew’s bottle of wine.

 

 

END.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS from NUMB HUMOR STUDIOS!
