Go On Any More Trips, Carmine

Co-written by Ashley(LavernShrl) and Michelle(ShirlFeeny)


Setting: The Burbank Apartment, Carmine is going on a trip to visit his mother, then after his mom's house to take the youngest group of girls in his dance studio to their first competition in Anaheim. Laverne is at work at Cowboy Bill's and Shirley is giving Carmine a goodbye. No, not the goodbye, a goodbye. Can't you think of anything besides that?

Shirley: (finishes kissing him and rests her cheek against his) Oh Carmine, I'm going to miss you so much this week!
Carmine: Oh I'm gonna miss you too, Angelface. Are you sure you don't wanna go with me?
Shirley: Oh sweetheart, I'd love to, but I can't. I mean, I gotta work and watch after Laverne and make sure that she doesn't do anything with Lenny she's not supposed to.
Carmine: Geez, they've been goin' out for what now? 2 months? (Shirley nods) Boy, those two are really in love.
Shirley: You're tellin' me. You're not the one who's asleep at 2:30 in the morning when they come in. Believe you me, you begin to wonder when you hear all that heavy breathing.
Carmine: You're telling me, I hear them from my apartment. But anyway, you're totally sure you don't wanna come? There's gonna be a lot of cute adorable little kids running around.

(Shirley looks at him and sighs, then wraps her arms around his neck)

Shirley: Okay, now don't bring anything back like a little girl or a woman or anything, or else, got it?

(she raises her eyebrow and he looks at the ceiling)

Carmine: Not even one?

(she puts on a serious face and he grins)

Carmine: Not one, I got ya.

(they kiss passionately, then they start moving towards the couch when Shirley stops)

Shirley: You have to be there early Carmine. And don't worry, you'll be back in a week. Nothing can happen to me in a week.
Carmine: Well, okay, I'll call you alright?
Shirley: Okay, bye bye.

(she gives him a final kiss, a long one, and he walks out the door, Shirley is heading toward the kitchen when Lenny comes in)

Lenny: Hiya Shirl.
Shirley: Oh, hiya Len.
Lenny: Is Laverne around?
Shirley: No, she's workin' down at Cowboy Bill's. Why, what's the matter?
Lenny: Nothing, it's just... well... do you swear not to say nothin' to nobody? (Shirley nods and Lenny reaches into his pocket, pulls out a box and opens it, revealing a diamond ring, Shirley gasps) You think she'll like it?
Shirley: Lenny! Lenny! I don't know what to say! Oh boy, I can't wait to tell... (at that moment, Laverne walks in the door)
Laverne: Tell who what?
(Lenny quickly closes the box and puts it back in his pocket and gives Shirley a look like "Don't tell her, please don't tell her)
Shirley: Uh, uh... tell Carmine! Yes! Tell Carmine that... um... that he forgot his (glances quickly around) socks!
Laverne: His socks?
Shirley: Yes! I... I did his laundry this week and he left a pair of socks here! ::smacks her head:: Oh, silly me, silly me!
Laverne: (gives Shirley a look and then looks at Lenny) Lenny! What are you doin' here?
Lenny: I uh... I came to surprise you!
Laverne: Me?
Lenny: Yeah... surprise!
Laverne: Oh, thanks Len.

(She walks up to him and kisses him and Shirley sniffles. They look at her and she sobs)

Laverne:What's wrong Shirl?
Shirley: I miss Carmine!!
Lenny: He's still outside putting his suitcases in the car.

(Shirley runs out the door and Lenny runs after her locking the door. There's some serious smut about to happen when Shirley walks in through the kitchen door)

Shirley: Where will the smut end? And don't you have to go back to Cowboy Bill's?

(everyone mumbles and Laverne drags herself out the door. As soon as she leaves Lenny turns to Shirley)

Lenny: You think Laverne's gonna say yes?
Shirley: I don't know, I think so! She's crazy about you.
Lenny: Really? She told ya that?

(they sit down next to each other on the couch)

Shirley: I never would have thought, you and Laverne going steady, and now engaged, wow.
Lenny: Yeah, I always thought I would fall in love with one of you.
Shirley: Imagine if it was both?

(they laugh and then they look at each other, deeply into each other's eyes. Shirley sees some sort of maturity, and caring side of Lenny in his eyes she's never seen...... wait, or is that an eyelash? Nope, it's the caring side of him. Without knowing it they lean in closer and closer and then......)

Part 2!
