| Fluffy: |
|
Hey, Lil
Sis, I got something ta tell ya. Can you kick back a
sec?
|
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
Yeah sure,
what’s wrong.
|
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
Well,
see it’s like this. My wish right is almost a wrap
and thought you woulda notice, but you haven’t and
it hurt, ya noe? |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
I have noticed
but I don’t see the point in your dream. It’s
selfish. I mean go and shade somebody instead of just
looking like Mickey Mouse shaped cloud.
|
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
That’s
on you if you don’t like it. I do and that’s
all I care bout. If you want people ta have shade then
you go on and get em they shade. I wanna be a Mickey
Mouse shaped cloud and imma be that cuz I’m tired
of being ordinary. Imma stand out like da piece I am.
You watch, you gonna feel stupid.
|
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
All
this is unnecessary. It really is. This is childish. |
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
Wats
childish is yo issues. Why can’t you just be proud
of me? You jealous, huh? |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
No, never
jealous of you. Please. Of what, a Mickey Mouse cloud
wannabe.
(whispering) Plus you get in the way of my relationships
and having a husband and family. Why don’t you
be happy for me?
|
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
I
neva knew this Lil. Why you neva tell me. I do care. I
neva meant ta get in da Way? How I do dat lil sis? |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
You
saying it wasn’t intentional? |
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
Yeah.
Why would I push em away on purpose. I just want whats
best fa ya. Yadada mean?. |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
I
guess. But the fact is it happened. I just want to feel
needed and be proud of my kids to be. |
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
How
ya gonna get pregnant if you ain’t gots nobody? I
can hook you up with somebody if ya want. I know some
pieces that single. |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
Actually,
I got somebody but I haven’t introduced you two,
afraid that you’d push him away. |
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
My bad.
I don’t mean too. How ‘bouts I meet him tomorrow?
But first I wanna show you somethin’. Aight!
|
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
What
are you gonna show me? Where is it? |
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
It’s
outside. Follow me. Since you started telling me somethin’
‘bouts yo greatest wish, Imma tell you somethin’
bouts mines.
(they go outside)
See, look, I am putting my energy into something. It ain’t
that easy putting’em molecules all together plus
havin’ a Lil sista on yo back all the time.
(aside)
Jesucristo, please help me with my sista Lily. See, the
thing is that she thinks my greatest wish is selfish.
My greatest wish is to be a Mickey Mouse shaped cloud
because I don’t feel enough recognition as just a
plain cloud. Sista Lily thinks that I could be recognized
in less selfish ways but helpful to others. Oh, yeah,
this was our argument this afternoon and caught up in
my irritation. I forgot to mention this in the beginning.
She seems to be baffled at the fact that I want to stress
and add more work to be a Mickey Mouse cloud when I could
go with the flow and do something that benefits others
at the same time. She always be flying ‘round, messin’
up my molecules when I’m ‘bouts to be done. |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
I never
looked at a cloud like that, but I still don’t
understand why you can’t put it to better use.
Let’s go see people that could use the shade.
|
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
If you could
find somebody, then I’ll think about it. Aight,
let’s go.
(they go to the next island over, Cebu)
|
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
There you
go. I found somebody. Doesn’t it look like they
need some shade on this sunny island?
|
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
Yeah, they
look a lil sweaty. There gots ta be some way ta have
my dream and this shade stuff that yo talkin’ ’bouts.
Like me being Mickey Mouse while shadin’ people.
That way everybody happy, ya noe.
|
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
You
could but you gotta finish your dream first and then follow
through with the shade thing.
(The next day Fluffy meets Lily’s boyfriend.) |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
(aside)
I have this problem that involves my greatest wish
(have a partner and kids) and my older sister, Fluffy.
See, my sister and I are extremely close but she’s
very overprotective. When I find somebody, she always
finds something she don’t like about him. Then she’ll
start pushing him away and she plans more stuff with me.
This hurts but blood is thicker than water, right? When
I get close to him he’s gone. I talk to my sis ‘bout
this but she denies it. Saying she don’t realize
it and apologizes, what do I do now?
(to Fluffy)
What you think of my boyfriend? You like him? Thanx for
being polite and acting like you like him even if you
don’t. |
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
Nah,
lil sis. He coo. Ya know I been doing sum thinking and
this wat I come up wit so far, the less I speak on, da
betta. Cuz dat way I can’t push em away unless with
my actions but that’s where you come in and keep
me in check. Yadadamean. I just wanted the best for ya.
But I’ve come ta da conclusion dat you know wat makes
you happy. Weder it just for the moment or later on, you
know betta than anybody else. I also decided dat wat I
think would make you happier, correct meah if imma wrong,
dat the more I support you da betta and not voice my opinions
so aggressively, yeah? |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
Your
definitely right. Thanx but I can’t help to wonder
where you came up with this and why. Are you up to something
because your really getting my hopes up here, making me
think that I could have a family and still be cool with
you like you approving of my babies daddy. |
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
Nah,
lil sis, I ain’t up ta nuthin. Why would I? I did
some maturing over night. I finally realized that you
feel the same way as I do. I mean dat I’m so frustrated
wit not havin my wish and people disapproving. If only
people could realize how much this means ta me. Like the
feeling of not being noticed. Just anotha thing on this
planet. And when they see you they don’t like wat
dey see, ya noe. Maybe I’m trippin. I would just
love to be noticed in a positive way. Like whoa, look
at dat beautiful cloud. I wish I could be dat. Instead
of the script being flipped. Basically wat imma sayin
is dat I finally understand and relate to your frustration
in not havin yo dream. I’m sorry dat I was in da
wrong. |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
It’s
okay sister. Like you said, I also understand that things
happen unintentionally. I came up with a conclusion for
you. I also did same thinking. I think you could shade
people while being Mickey Mouse shape. If you want, it’s
just a suggestion. |
|
|
|
| Fluffy: |
|
Dat
Hecka sick. Good Lookin out sista. Thank you. Wat bout
you & yo hubby? |
|
|
|
| Lily: |
|
He
proposed and I said yes. (whispering) aaannnddd
I’m pregnant. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
End. |
