Drama #1



MePal #1 is sitting, working on homework.
 
MePal #2 walks up and says: Hey, pal--how's about you and me (you and I)  go out and toss some balls (play catch/throw a few).
 
MePal #1:  Sorry, pal, I'm busy now.  (#1 goes back to work.)
 
MePal #2 begins to shove #1 on the shoulder and says:  Hey, c'mon.  You can do that later.  I wanna play NOW!
 
#1:  Cut it out.  You know better.  You're in my MeSpace now.  You've gone too far, pal.  Back off. 
 
#2:  C'mon now.  Take it easy.  We're pals.  It's ok.
 
#1:  No, it's NOT ok.  Pals don't push pals around.  We respect each other's space--our MeSpace.  Remember that hula hoop demo? 
(gestures to show the MeSpace circle around him)  Back off.  Now.
 
#2:  Ok, ok.  Take it easy. (steps back and pulls back arms as if to say "I'm sorry")  I just want to go outside now.  I need to work off some steam. 
 
#1:  Ok, pal.  I understand.  Just give me a few minutes to finish this problem.  I'll meet you outside. 
 
#2:  Great! 
 
#1:  And pal--               
 
#2:  Yeah--?
 
#1:  Don't let that happen again.
 
#2:  Right.  (Makes gesture of MeSpace circle around self)  You got it--  (exits)
