Seeing Mark that night was the surprise of a lifetime, a million emotions rushed through me at once... Shock, confusion, elation, and anger. He was the last person I'd expected to see and I had no idea what to say.
Mark: Hello, Twinkle.
Twinkle: What... How... is it really you?
Mark: Yes, It's me and It's good to see you.
Twinkle: But... what are you doing here?
Mark: It's a really long story, You... you look beautiful.
Twinkle: Don't you dare say that to me, you have no right. [Blinks fast]
Mark: I know and I'm sorry.
Twinkle: My god, Mark... you're the last person I expected to see tonight--
Mark: I know. It's been a really long time and I know I have some explaining to do.
Twinkle: "Explaining to do"? Seriously? Mark, you disappeared three years ago without a word and at one point I didn't even know if you were alive or dead!
Mark: I know, and I am so sorry. What I did... it was unforgivable.
Twinkle: What are you even doing here? You don't go to this school.
Mark: Um... Stacy... She brought me as her date.
Twinkle: YOU are Stacy's date?!
Mark: Yeah. Look, Twinkle... I want to talk, there's so much I want to say.
(Shawn comes bursting through.)
Shawn: Twinkle, there you are! Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Twinkle: Yeah, well... Mark, this is Shawn my... boyfriend.
Mark: Ah. I see. [Whimpers a bit]
Twinkle: And Shawn... this is Stacy's date, Mark.
Shawn: Oh cool, nice to meet you, man. I'd say be good to my sister but... instead I'll make sure my sister is good to you!
Mark: Nice to meet you.
Shawn: You about ready to leave, Twinkle?
Mark: [Whispers] You're leaving? I was hoping we could talk.
(We all sit in silence for a few seconds.)
Twinkle: We have nothing to talk about.
Mark: Twinkle...
Twinkle: I... goodbye, Mark.
Mark: But...
Twinkle: No, goodbye says it all. [Walks away with Shawn]
Outside of the dance.
Blair: Where did Shawn go?
Twinkle: I sent him to pull the car around but I need to talk to you guys.
Max: What's going on? You look super pale-
Twinkle: Yeah, well that's because Mark is here!
Blair: What?!
Max: THE Mark?!
Twinkle: Yes! [Facepalms] Stacy, Shawn's sister, brought him as her date!
