Zachariah take the stage alone to express his grievances 


Zachariah: I am sad to say it, but I can no longer see my girl. I must leave her The one who took my heart, and my manhood. No simple thing this will be. 


Amilia: I will see you in a couple of hours Mariah! 


Zachariah: She comes! … Shit! 


Zachariah Dives into the bushes, Amilia nearly discovers him as she speaks, he is not good at hiding


Amilia: (on the phone) I will be there! Don't worry about it. What about zach? No he hasn't said anything. No worries at all. 


Zachariah: Why is she walking around so foolishly! Is she drunk or something?


She finally walks offstage


Chad: No way dude she just be vibing


Zachariah: Ah! Who are you? 


Chad: I am Chad, i know most things. (to the audience) Most everything really. 


Zachariah: Oh. Ok. Great. I need to know how to break up with her. 


Chad: Damn dude! Why? 


Zachariah: Well…


Zach rolls over into the path and looks up at the sky as Chad crouches and watches. They sing


Zachariah: She doesnt make me happy anymore. 


Chad: and? 


Zach: She took my xbox and my ps4


Chad: And? 


Zach: She doesn't let me eat my chicken wings


Chad: That all 


Zach: She wants me to take her to the mall


Chad: Your point? 


Zach: I just want to be a guy, i don't think I need a reason why, and she keeps giving me reasons to be feeling the blues


Chad: Tell me about it


Zach: Boys with be boys, and i think i need some new toys. Namely an amiibo, a nintendo, and a PSP. And thats just something I can't do when she is still with me. 


Singing ends


Chad: Well my dude I can vibe with some of that, but we do not gel with it all. Where is the emotional connection, where is that love dude? 


Zach: No that's like the problem 


Chad: Why wasn't that in the song then? 


Zach: I didn't think of it? 


Pause


Chad: So this is her front door.


Zach: Oh! 


Chad: You should knock and tell her how you feel


Zach: Even if it's that i feel like i don't like her at all? 


Chad: For sure my dude. 


Zach: Ok. 


Knock, a pause to prep, The door opens Sarah answers in a towel


Zach: Listen, Amilia I


Sarah: Yes? 


Zach: Oh! Hello. 


Sarah: Hi there, what's your name? 


Zach: I'm Zach. Is this Amelia's house? 


Sarah: Oh yeah! She is my little sister. Come on in


Zach: Are you sure you seem a little busy. 


Sarah: Oh. I'm so fine with it don't worry about it. Amilia should be back in a little bit


Zach: Ok cool 


Zach goes inside and sits on the couch inside. He is pretty nervous. Chad looks in from the window and gives him a thumbs up 


Zach: So are you just going into the shower or coming out? 


Sarah: I am getting into it right now, just make yourself at home. It's not like you haven't been here before


Zach: Right yes, of course. 


Sarah: You seem sorta nervous, is something the matter? 


Zach: Um. Yes! actually. I came here to break up with your sister


Sarah: oh! 


Zach: Yeah


Sarah: So things havent been going well with the two of you? 


Zach: No she really has been cramping my style


Sarah: What is your style exactly? 


Zach: I like video games


Sarah: Console or PC? 


Zach: It's been console until your sister kinda put a stop to that


Sarah: PC is better. 


Zach: Don't you need to get in the shower? 


Sarah: I do yeah. Do you want to spruce up before you break up with my sister? 


Zach: What do you mean? 


Sarah: You're cute. 


Zach: Oh, um. (looks to the window, but Chad is nowhere to be found) Uh. Ok.


They go upstairs, Chad comes up from behind the couch and a song begins


Chad:

 Love is a fickle fiend

coming fast and slow

and often unseen


Lust comes in similar ways

wet or dry

making different plays


Emotions don't mention intention

The lines between lust and love are blurred

Time making hard the feeling mentioned

When sisters love is only left inferred


Amilia opens the door to downstairs


Amilia: Sis! Had to run back for my phone charger! 


Sarah: Ok! 


Zach: Ok! 


Amilia: Is someone up there with you? 


Zach comes downstairs, hair still wet but fully clothed


Zach: He So i need to talk to you. 


Amilia: You want to break up with me


Zach: Um. Yes actually


Amilia: Not even surprised. Why did you come to my house to break up you could have just called me. Or texted. 


Zach: I just felt like I should tell you in person 


Amilia: Whatever. Why is your hair wet? 


Zach: No reason. 


Zach exits, Sarah pokes her head downstairs hair wrapped in a towel!


Sarah: Bye Zach! 


Amilia: Sarah? 


Zach: Bye!


Zach closes the door and runs


Chad: Some of the choices we make are questionable. We are responsible for our own happiness but that doesn't mean it is good to make other people's lives miserable, but for those who have loved and lusted and lost and gained. I don't know man. But feel the vibe and it will tell you what's shaking my dude. (slams a beer)
