(its morning and Noah and Luke are in the dining room eating breakfast and laughing)(In walks Scarlet with dark circles under her eyes and her hair thrown in a messy bun. She is walking in shielding her eyes from the lights)(Noah looks at her and laughs to himself as she sits down at the table and lays her head down against the table)
Luke: (gets up and sets down a plate of food and a glass of piping hot tea and Advil)
Scarlet: (looks up and groans at the food) I think I'm going to throw up. (she pops the Advil in her mouth and sips on the tea)
Noah: I know that food isn't the most appetizing thing right now, but I promise it will help you feel better.
Scarlet: (hesitantly picks up the fork and eats an egg) This is such a weird feeling. I never get this hungover.
Luke: Have you ever had six whiskeys in one sitting before?
Scarlet: (smiles sheepishly) Well, no. But in my defense they tasted really weak yesterday.
Luke: (smirks) Lightweight.
Scarlet: (throws a piece of toast at him) Like you've ever done anything reckless in your life before, Mr. Perfect.
Luke: (takes the toast and bites it) Actually, I would scare you if I ever told you all the "Reckless" things I've ever done.
Scarlet: (eats the rest of the eggs) Well, we need to go to the mall. You have nothing that suits a girl in this entire house.
Noah: As much as I don't want to go, I have a meeting at the round house for some of our newest members I have to go to. (gets up and chugs the rest of the coffee)
Luke: Oh no, no no no.
Scarlet: Please, I need someone to give me their opinions. And my last paycheck came in today and I really want to get some stuff.
Noah: Don't spend your money, take this (opens up his wallet and pulls out a credit card) Here, your own personal card.
Scarlet: I can't.
Noah: (smiles and puts it in her hand) Oh, but you will.
Scarlet: (smiles) Thank you. Now Luke (turns to him with puppy eyes) Pleaseee.
Luke: No. You're going to bring me into girly stores and you're going to force me to-
Scarlet: I guess (gets fakely sad) I'll have to just-
Luke: (sighs) Fine.
Scarlet: (squeals) Yes!
Noah: (laughs) Good luck with that one.
Scarlet: (gets up) I have to get dressed and we have to leave before all the sales are picked through. Thank you! (kisses Noah on the forehead and kisses Luke on the forehead too)(She runs out)
(the two guys sit in silence blinking in confusion)
Noah: I- I'm gonna go now.
(Scarlet gets ready and comes out to see Luke on the couch reading a book)(she throws his jacket at him)
Scarlet: Come on bozo. (Luke sighs and gets up)
Luke: I'm driving.
Scarlet: (grunts) Fine.
