[Everyone in the scene is asleep except for MARTY]

Marty: (Sighs) Do I .... really have a chance to find that special person? (Looks up) Oh! A shooting star! (Closes eyes) I wish.. I could find someone who will love me for me... (Opens eyes and stares into the distance of the starry night sky)

[ALEX wakes up and notices MARTY sitting alone by the balcony]

Alex: ( Yawns ) Marty? Why are you up at this time?

Marty: (Looks at ALEX in surprise for a minute) Oh I was just thinking...

Alex: About what? ( Sits right next to him )

Marty: What if.. I spend the rest of my life alone? Without a soulmate or anything at all! I know you said that I would be able find someone who would love me, but.... what if I never do? Do you really think I could find them? ( Looks at ALEX )

Alex: (Scoffs) Of course you will buddy! We just got to find that person for you. And don't worry, I'm a professional match maker, so you'll find her very soon. ( Winks at MARTY and gently punches him on the shoulder )

Marty: ( Rubs his left shoulder ) Jejejej.. yeah... ( Slightly frowns and looks to the right )

Alex: Oh come on Marty. Cheer up! You are going to find her. You'll see tomorrow morning as I make my match making gift put to use. ( Stands up ) Well, I'll see you tomorrow, pal. (Ruffles MARTY'S hair ) G'night! ( Exits )

Marty: Good night, Alex!.... ( Touches his own hair and blushes a light shade of pink. Sighs )

~The next morning~

[ The circus performers are practicing backstage as the zoosters are talking with each other ]

Gloria: Melman! Does this too-too look good on me? ( Twirls around )

Melman: ( Blushes deep red ) W-well of course it does hunny! Anything looks stunning on you~ ( Hugs her and cups her cheek with his hand )

Gloria: ( Giggles weirdly and uncontrollably. Snorts )

[ ALEX and MARTY look at the odd couple for a few minutes then they go back to what they were talking about ]

Marty: Alex, for the last time! I said I was fine. Yesterday was just... ( Scratches neck ).. an off day for me, ok?

Alex: Marty, my best friend, pal, buddy, compadre, and so much more --

Marty: ( Thinking ) More? -- ( Blushes )

Alex: -- I know you like the back of my hand and I can tell that you were thinking about this certain situation for a while~ ( Puts his arms around MARTY'S shoulder ) And I wanna help you with your crisis!
