(The scene opens to two different rooms. There is a short brick wall about three feet high separating the rooms. The small classroom is on the left portion of the stage, but on the right side of the stage dark with a light focusing on a chair, with what seems an old fashioned video game joystick in the front of it. WES is standing in the classroom, while ASHTON is behind the chair looking around confused. The two teens cannot see each other but can hear each other.)
ASHTON
Wes? (pause) Wes! (pauses impatiently) WES, WHERE ARE YOU?
WES
I can hear you... but I don't see you... Where are you exactly?
ASHTON
(looks around the room and the lights shine on the back of the stage showing a poster that reads "Wes's Mind Control Room".) I..(weirded out) I think I'm in your brain...
WES
What do you mean you're in my brain?
ASHTON
I'm looking at a sign... (pauses and begins raising voice) how else would I know?!
WES
Hey! Watch it! Every time you yell at me, you give me a headache... (laughs slightly) Heh, what else is new?
ASHTON
So, what now?
WES
I don't know... (raises voice one level for each word spoken to show the irritation she has) how about you get out of my brain?
ASHTON
I'll try...
WES
Thank you... In the meantime, I'll attempt to get our project done.. (sits down at a desk and flips through a binder)
(ASHTON walks around to the chair and sits down. He begins to mess around with the joystick, making WES stand up from her chair, and walk around.)
WES
(While moving) Excuse me! Hello, I can't do my work here!
ASHTON
Sorry, well you told me to figure it out...
(WES stops moving and ASHTON presses another button.)
BOTH
What's this button for?
(WES shakes her head ferociously and ASHTON's side of the room begins shaking, ASHTON falls down and tries to grasp onto the chair.)
ASHTON
Don't do that!
WES
Then don't do what you did!
(The door on left center stage opens, revealing MR. JONES, the chemistry teacher.)
MR. JONES
Wes... Where is Ashton??
(ASHTON presses the button again.)
WES AND ASHTON
Oh, I'm right here! (realizes) Oh, (fake cough and mimics a teenage girl voice) he went to the bathroom or something, but I think he left me here to do the project myself... Heh, stupid Ashton!
MR. JONES
Well, (slightly confused) you need to get a move on it, okay? I can't be here for much longer. (aside) and my students call me weird... (shakes head)
(MR. JONES exits and WES looks up as if she's talking to her head.)
WES
Ashton, I do not sound like that!
ASHTON
To me you do!
WES
Plus, you're making us look ridiculous!
ASHTON
(smirks) No, I'm making you look like you're schizophrenic.
WES
Whatever, since we can't get anything done, I'm just gonna go home.
ASHTON
Wait! What will I tell my mom?
WES
I don't know, you got us into this mess, you figure it out.
ASHTON
I don't know what I did!
WES
(Grits teeth together) Figure. It. Out.
(Blackout.)
