When we last left Laverne she was being pulled into a
corner. Wonder what will happen next....
Laverne: What in the- (She is interrupted by...
someone kissing her? It actually felt pretty good...)
Fonzie?
Lenny: Uh, no. It's, um, Lenny. Lenny Kosnowski.
Laverne: Who?
Lenny: Lenny Kosnowski. Remember? My name means "Help there's a hog in my kitchen!" ?
Laverne: Oh yeah! (she laughs and Lenny laughs nervously along) But why did you...?
Lenny: Because, um, I, kinda, like you Laverne. And I wanted to catch you by surprise so you wouldn't slap me.
Laverne (sarcastically): How sweet.
Lenny (innocent face): Sorry.
Laverne: Oh, it's okay, Len. But you can't tell anyone about this! It will ruin my life! It's not you, it's Squiggy. If anyone, especially Rosie, finds out that I kissed Squiggy's best friend...
Lenny (puppy dog face): Okay.
Laverne (sees his sad face): Wait a minute, I've got something for ya. (She takes her L off and grabs a stray crayon off the floor and writes on the L. Then she grabs her lip gloss out of her pocket, puts it on, and kisses the L.) Here ya go. But don't read it until you get home, okay? And remember, don't tell no one!
Lenny: Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a pencil in my eye.
Laverne: It's needle, but close enough. (she gives him a kiss on the cheek) Now scram.
Lenny starts to walk away, but he turns around again.
Lenny: I didn't give you anything! (He digs around in his pocket and pulls out a candy heart) Here.
Laverne (eyes it suspiciously): February was a long time ago. Don't you think that's a little old...
Lenny: You're not 'sposed to eat it you're 'sposed to keep it. There's a message on the other side, but don't look at it till you get home.
Laverne: Okay. Now, you go back to class and I'll get my drink of water and I'll be back in a few minutes.
They both go their separate ways and Laverne gets her drink of water and then 5 minutes later is back in her seat.
Shirley: What took you so long?
Laverne: I was real thirsty?
Shirley: You don't fool me for a second Laverne DeFazio. You were thinking of how to get back at Rosie weren't you?
Laverne (sighs in relief): Yeah, you caught me, Shirl. That's it.
Shirley: Nothing gets past Shirley Feeney.
They work on their word searches until Miss Davis says it's time for lunch.
Miss Davis: Okay, class, time for lunch. Go out into the courtyard and eat your lunches.
Class: Yes Miss Davis.
Miss Davis: I'll be in the classroom straightening up and eating my lunch. You're dismissed.
There is a mad rush for the backpack hooks as everyone tries to grab their lunches from their bags. When it's all over Laverne and Shirley are sitting on the grass chatting.
Laverne (opens her bottle of Pepsi): Ahhhh. Nothing like a Pepsi to hit the spot. (Fonzie, Carmine, and Anne Marie come and join them. Rosie is nowhere in sight.) So did you guys finish your word searches? I couldn't find 'pencil'.
Anne Marie: I did. It was written diagonally. Those ones are always hard to find.
They continue to carry on a meaningless conversation about word searches and other things until about halfway through lunch, when Rosie sneaks up behind Laverne and dumps half a bottle of milk on her and the other half into her Pepsi.
Laverne: My Pepsi! It's ruined! (Thinks a moment) I'm ruined! Why I oughtta...
Rosie: Save your breath, DeFazio, it's bad anyway.
Laverne lunges at Rosie, but Shirley holds her back.
Shirley: Don't stoop to her level.
Then Fonzie walks up to the side of the building and hits it with his fist. The full rain gutter falls on Rosie and soaks her. She runs inside.
Laverne: How'd you do that?
Fonzie: It's a gift.
Laverne: I got a gift of my own, yecch, milk and Pepsi! The thought of it makes me wanna throw up.
Squiggy: Hello!
Shirley: Why does he always show up when we say something disgusting?
Squiggy: I dare you to drink that!
Shirley: Don't do it!
Laverne: Laverne DeFazio never backs down from a dare. (With that she takes a big gulp. Everyone watches her face for a sign of being ill. Instead she takes another drink) It's delicious! You guys should try it!
Just then the bell rings and they all go inside. The rest of the day passes quickly and soon it's time to go home. Shirley and Laverne walk to Laverne's house. Laverne's father meets them at the door.
Frank: Hi, Muffin! Hi Shirley! How was your day? And why do you have milk on your head, Laverne?
Laverne: Long story, pop.
Frank: Laverne? Laverne?
Laverne?
Laverne?
The voice is coming from outside Laverne and Shirley's apartment. Laverne is asleep on the floor in front of the closet halfway, holding a box of stuff.
Lenny (opens the door): Laverne are you here?...
He see's her laying on the floor and carries her to the couch.
TOUCHING MOMENT ALERT.
He grabs a blanket and tosses it over her and gives her a little kiss on the forehead.
Laverne (drowsily): Fonz?
Lenny (suddenly embarrassed): Um, no. It's, uh, it's Lenny.
Laverne (stretches): Oh, I musta fell asleep when I was looking through that stuff.
She gestures at the pile by the closet.
Lenny: Funny you should say that. I was looking through some old stuff too. (He pulls out a faded piece of pink paper.) Remember when you gave me this? I never mentioned it, though, I swear. Stick a pencil in my eye.
Laverne (laughs): It's needle, but close enough. I found something too. (She pulls out the candy heart) I'd never read it before. What's it say? Lenny (squints): Kiss me.
Laverne: Okay (She wraps her arms around him and kisses him).
Lenny: What was that for?
Laverne: I'm sorry, Len, I don't know what came over me. I was just - I mean -
Lenny: It's okay. (Reads what she wrote to him on the piece of paper) "You kiss good."
Laverne: Thanks. (This time he kisses her. By the time Shirley and Carmine get back they are totally making out. Shirley screams.) What is wrong with you, Shirl?
Shirley: You were just - just - (She faints)
Carmine: Boy, and I thought that monster movie we saw was strange!
THE END :)
