One, Two, Triple Heaven




Glenn:
-Allrighty... well... now that I just finished with my class, its time to get outta here... But hum... quite frankly, do I want to go home? I'm not in the mood to go home just yet. What should I do? I don't know that many people... except for a small group that play in the orchestra with me... Should I practice my instrument a little? Or do I want to read a little, take in the fresh air of spring, enjoy the silence of after hours school... Maybe I should go for a walk, or maybe just find a spot somewhere where I can lay down and catch the warming sun. Or better yet get a shake, or a burger.. I wonder whats going on around the school...

Nah, I think I'll practice some music, Ill head over to the small rooms by the music department... that'll do it. I'll take a left... I'll take a right... down the hallway, and out the door. Across the... What the? What's that...? Hey, I know those people, some of them are in my class.

"Oh, Hi! Hey guys?! And what are.. you guys doing?"

Helen:
'HI! We're dancing!! Wanna join in?'

Glenn:
-And I know her. I have only seen her a couple of times.. but Every single time that I have seen her, she's so nice, different and funny... I don't know what it is... but she has 'something' that just drives me crazy and magnetizes me.

"uh - No. Quite honestly, if there's anything that I havent been blessed with Helen.. is a little something called 'dancing rhythm'"

Helen:
'Oh, come on, darling, you're telling me you've never danced before?!!'

Glenn:
-I hate dancing.... but.... God, Woman... How I can I say no to you? I guess... I can play stupid and just hang out here for a while...

Helen:
'So?'

Glenn:
-Gulp

Helen:
'Its easy... Look I'm teaching them as well! Step by step'

Glenn:
-OK Glenn. They're playing Glenn Miller's "In The Mood"... My very first introduction to the world of Jazz was with Glenn Miller... 3 years ago... And I used to play this in my Jazz group, I love this stuff... But.. dance to this? This is NOT ME. Not only do I NOT dance but... heck, I've never even seen or heard of dancing to this stuff before. You gotta say no... Leave, go practice... But.. I guess....

"I think I'll just watch from afar, is that OK?"

Helen:
'yeah sure! And a one, and a two.. and a one and a two.... And guys remember that you have to...'(fade)

Glenn:
-Just look at how she moves. She dances as smoothly and effortlessly as... she... kinda reminds me of a bird... I mean, you know? Just how pretty they look when they turn and glide across the sky. Beautiful and graceful, weightless... that's how she dances. I didn't get the... dancing genes... If I try.. I know that I'll trip or step on her. Glenn... dont stare... appreciate her natural talent and desire to teach others... yess... ignore the fact that... her voice sounds so yummy too. Damn it!! I can't keep my eyes off her...

Helen:
'Come on Glenn, step in with us..! See how easy it is... and, a one and a two..' (she dances in front of him)

Glenn:
"No Thanks"

Helen:
'Come on'

Glenn:
-Noooo... noooo.. nooooo... noooooo.

Helen:
'U comin''

Glenn:
-Noooooo. (shakes head...)

Helen:
'just move your hips.'

Glenn:
-Nope

Helen:
'Just loosen up.'

Glenn:
-Nooooo..

Helen:
'Smile a little'

Glenn:
-Noooo---hoooo..

Helen:
'Shake a little'

Glenn:
-Noooouuuuuoooo...

Helen:
'Breathe a little.'

Glenn:
"No...."

-Oh, God, she's breaking me.

Helen:
'Come on, its OK'

Glenn:
"aaagghhh"

-She's pulling me into the dance floor... her hand feels so fluffy. mm.. She has pillow hands.. I will not be able to resist that.

Helen:
'did u see how I taught them? with your hand, you are going to pull me towards you.. you gotta create some TENSION and pull me to you.. then do the One-Two-Triple Step. then you are going to put your other hand on my hip... bring me close to you as we turn... and then, let me go. and then do it again.'

Glenn:
"Ok, I'll give it a try..."

-one. two. triple...what? whooops, there goes it.. there goes her foot.

"ummm."

Helen:
'its OK. dont worry. again. Like this.'

Glenn:
