[Joey's Dorm, 11:00 P.M., Friday]

*Inside Joey's dorm, Takumi and Joey are engaged in a conversation. Joey is leaned back against the wall on his bed and Takumi sits in a bean bag resembling a football.*

Takumi: I can't believe we made it out of there without getting in trouble!

Joey: It's not that bad, I do it all the time!

Takumi: What do you mean all the time?!

Joey: I mean I go to the women's dorm all the time and leave late all the time.

Takumi: Without getting in trouble?

Joey: WIthout getting in trouble.

Takumi: How?!

Joey: Don't worry about it, can we discuss what you were doing with a Michi so late?

Takumi: Can we discuss how you were in the women's dorm at ten P.M. with a potted cactus?

Joey: How about we don't and say we did? Why were the two of you sneaking around?

Takumi: Who's Veronica?

Joey: Why was she sneaking you out and not in? Can't last?

Takumi: *Embarrassed* What do you mean by that?!

*Someone begins knocking on the dorm door.*

Takumi: Who could be here at this hour?

Joey: *Opens the door to reveal Danny.* Danny.

Takumi: Danny? Why?

Danny: This. *Showing his phone revealing Joey's text to him: "I ran into Takumi and Michi in the women's dorm lmfao. Come over bitch"*

Danny: *Taking a seat on a chair by Joey's desk.* So, want to discuss what happened?

*Takumi tells the abridged version of what just transpired in the girls' dorm to Danny.*

Takumi: And by the way, thanks for the advice. It worked for once. Recently, spending time with Michi hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be.

Danny: *Thinking to himself* I can't believe he actually invited someone to a movie.

Takumi: I don't know what is, but Michi has been giving off this feeling. It's like when I'm with her I -

Joey and Danny: You like her.

Takumi: Wha-what? No! She's a new friend is all!

Danny: What type of guy asks a girl that he considers a friend to the movies?

*Joey takes Danny into his arms and holds him in a romantic pose.*

Joey: *Pretending to be Takumi.* I love you Michi!

Danny: *Pretending to be Michi.* Tell me again!

Takumi: *Bursting up from the bean bag.* AHH STOP IT!

*Joey and Danny burst out laughing. The three of them all take their seats again.*

Joey: Look here, it's getting late.

Danny: Yeah I should get go-

*Danny stands up and realizes something is off, he starts padding his jean pockets and begins to wince.*

Danny: So I uhh, forgot my keys...

*Takumi stares at Danny with a blank face.*

Joey: ... Well, it'll be like high school all over again, right?
