-It's Tuesday afternoon. Sharon just got home from work, and Sheila is on the couch to greet her girlfriend. Little do they know that they've both got a surprise for one another-

Sheila: Hi, Sharon! How was work?

Sharon: Good. It was pretty chill.

Sheila: That's good. Hey, have we got plans tonight?

Sharon: Not that I know of. Why?

Sheila: I may or may not have invited someone over for dinner tonight.

Sharon: Funny you say that, so did I.

Sheila: Oh, really? Who?

Sharon: Randy.

Sheila: Shit...

Sharon: What..? Wait, who did you invite?

Sheila: *Under her breath* Gerald...

Sharon: Yeah, shit...

Sheila: What do we do?! 

Sharon: Can't we just cancel?

Sheila: I told Gerald 6... It's 5:30 now...

Sharon: And I told Randy 6 as well...

-They both pause for a moment-

Both: ...Were fucked.

-Time passes as they both anxiously wait for Randy and Gerald to arrive-

-Randy is the first to arrive-

Sharon: Hey...come in.

Randy: You seem a bit worried. Is something the matter?

Sharon: Well uh...Sheila kinda sorta...invited Gerald, without knowing you were coming.

Randy: Oh....WHAT?!

Sheila: Surprise..?

-There's a knock on the door. They all freeze-

Sharon: Maybe this wont be so bad...

-Sharon opens the door to Gerald-

Sharon: Oh, hey Gerald *she awkwardly smiles at him*

Gerald: Hey! Sheila invited me over for dinner.

Sharon: Yeah, I heard...come in.

-Gerald comes inside and locks eyes with Randy-

Gerald: What are you doing here?

Randy: Got invited.

Sheila: We didn't plan for you both to be here...

Gerald: I'm gonna go, thanks for inviting me anyways-

Sharon: Gerald, wait! You don't have to leave, maybe this is a good thing!

-Randy looks at Sharon with a confused expression-

Gerald: Alright fine. I'll stay.

Sharon: Great! Sheila and I have to get dinner started, so how about you two sit at the table and have a chat

Sheila: A civil chat.

-Randy and Gerald both sit down on opposite sides of the table. Sharon and Sheila go into the kitchen-

Sharon: This was a bad idea.

Sheila: Ya think?

Sharon: Let's just hope they don't rip each other apart by the end of the night.

-Back to Gerald and Randy. They silently stare at eachother until someone says something-

Gerald: So...you dating anyone?

Randy: Yeah, actually. Got a girlfriend. What about you?

Gerald: No, still single...

Randy: *cough* not surprised *cough*! *clears throat* I mean, that's a shame...

Gerald: You think they set us up like this?

Randy: No, Sharon wouldn't do that. Neither would Sheila.

Gerald: How can you be so sure?

Randy: It's good to know you don't trust your ex wife.

Gerald: Oh what, are you like best friends with Sharon and Sheila now or something?!

Randy: So what if we were friends? You jealous your ex wife likes me more than you?

Gerald: You're such a fucking asshole...

Randy: I'm  the asshole? That's hilarious coming from you! 

Gerald: Shut the fuck up!

Randy: Ok then, where's my money?

Gerald: Excuse me?

Randy: *standing up out of his chair* WHERE'S MY FUCKING MONEY THAT I  MADE ON MY  FUCKING FARM, GERALD?!

-Sharon and Sheila both hear Randy yelling-

Sharon: Shit.

Sheila: Shit.

Sharon: I'll go check on them...

-Sharon comes out of the kitchen to check on Randy and Gerald-

Sharon: Everything ok here...?

-Randy gets out from between his chair and the table-

Randy: I'm...going to the bathroom.

-With tears in his eyes, Randy leaves the room-

Gerald: *scoffs* asshole...

-Sharon restrains herself from saying anything to Gerald as to not make the situation worse. She goes upstairs to check on Randy-

-Sharon waits by the bathroom door for Randy. He eventually comes out-

Sharon: Randy.

Randy: Hey..Sharon...

-He visibly looked upset-

Sharon: Can you come with me for a sec?

-They both go into Sharon and Sheila's bedroom. Sharon closes the door-

-Sharon sits on the bed, she pats beside her. Randy sits next to her-

Sharon: What was that about?

Randy: He's such a dick! He tried to say that you and Sheila set us up to both be here. Then he called me an asshole! So I said "If i'm the asshole, then where's my fucking money?"!

Sharon: I knew this was a bad idea...

Randy: So you did set us up!

Sharon: No, no! We didn't, honest! Sheila wanted to surprise me with Gerald, and I wanted to surprise her with you...But not at the same time!

Randy: Well, maybe you should tell Gerald that! Good luck getting him to believe you!

Sharon: I'm really sorry for all of this, I should of just let Gerald go...

Randy: It's not your fault he's an awful guy...

-Randy clenches his arms and tears up-

Sharon: *putting her hand on Randy's shoulder* Hey, don't let Gerald get to you.

Randy: I don't want to, I really dont! But after all that's happened...it's hard to just push the shit he says aside.

Sharon: Sorry to bring this up again but...wasn't your fight just about you two talking shit about Sheila and I?

Randy: Is that what Gerald told you?

Sharon: Well, Sheila, but...

Randy: So I guess that means he didn't mention the other stuff that happened...

Sharon: 'Other stuff'...?
