Chapter 3: New and Special Feelings
A few months have passed, Ava has been hanging out with her new friends. And now, the time has come for her brother Stan Woozle's wife to give birth
The screen shows the exterior of Stan's house
We hear the sound of a baby crying
Stan's voice: It's a boy!
The scene shifts to the inside of the master bedroom
Stan: (holding his newborn son)
Ava: Aww! He looks just like you, big brother!
Stan: He sure does!
Ava: Can I hold him?
Stan: Eh, I don't know...
Stan's wife: Oh, come on, Stan. Let her hold him. She's our son's aunt, after all.
Stan: Oh, alright. (gently hands his son to Ava)
Ava: (holding her nephew) Hello there, Wesley. It's me, your auntie.
Wesley: (giggling)
Stan's wife: Aww, would you look at that. He likes you already!
Ava: Yeah.
Stan: Well, don't too attached to him. He's my kid, not yours.
Ava: Yeah, yeah. I know. (gives Wesley to her sister-in-law)
Stan's wife: (cradling her son)
Wesley: (yawns, falls asleep)
Stan's wife: Aww. Somebody's tired.
Ava: You should get some rest, too. I hear giving birth is hard work.
Stan's wife: Oh, you heard right. (laughs)
Ava: Anyway, I better get going. I got to meet with my friends.
Stan: Seriously, sis. Why would you wanna hang out with those chumps?
Ava: They're my friends, Stan.
Stan: Oh, and I suppose this has nothing to do with Wooster, too, right?
Ava: Huh?
Stan: C'mon, Ava! You're constantly daydreamin' about him. Even Heff can tell.
Ava: (gulps, stammers as she blushes)
Stan: Face it, sis. You've fallen in love with the big guy.
Ava: I-I-I have not! I like him as a friend!
Stan: Yeah, sure. Keep sayin' that.
Ava: (stammers) Oh! I'm going now. Bye! (leaves)
Stan: Sheesh! What's with her?
Stan's wife: You know, dear, I think you may be right.
Stan: I am?
Stan's wife: Y'know, you were in total denial when you first fell in love with me (laughs)
Stan: Oh...(chuckles) right.
Ava: (keeps walking until she runs into Wooster) Oh!
Wooster: (turns around, looks down, sees Ava) Hello, Ava!
Ava: Wooster! (clears her throat) How are you today?
Wooster: Fine. Other friends at Christopher Robin's place. Just us.
Ava: Oh. OK, then.
Wooster: What we do?
Ava: Hmmm...how about we just go get some honey....to share?
Wooster: Steal honey?
Ava: No, no, no! I mean grab some from the bees!
Wooster: Hmm...not sure. Sound dangerous.
Ava: Don't worry. I'll go in and scoop up enough for the two of us. I just need an empty honey pot.
Wooster: OK. (goes to look for an empty honey pot, then comes back with a big empty honey pot) This big enough?
Ava: It's....it's...it's perfect! Now let's go find a honey tree!
Wooster: Lead way, Ava!
Ava: Sure thing! (she and Wooster head to find a honey tree, they find a big one, Ava whistles as she looks up) That's pretty high up!
Wooster: Need lift?
Ava: Yes, please.
Wooster: (holds out his hand)
Ava: (steps onto Wooster's hand)
Wooster: (lifts his hand with Ava on it, lands it near the hole on the honey tree)
Ava: Thank you. Now....wish me luck! (goes in)
Wooster: (waits patiently for Ava to grab some honey)
Then we hear buzzing
Ava: (from inside the tree): Yeow!
Wooster: (getting worried)
The buzzing grows louder
Ava: (leaps out of the hole in a panic, accidentally knocks Wooster over)
Wooster: (falls over on his back, causing a thud so loud, the ground rumbled)
Ava: (groans, rubs her head, she turns and sees she's close to Wooster's face)
Wooster: (looks at Ava, saying nothing)
They continue to stare at each other for a few seconds, blushing, before Ava turns away
Ava: Umm...(clears her throat) I'm so sorry for knocking you down. I guess I don't know my own strength....(chuckles nervously)
Wooster: Your eyes pretty
Ava: (faces Wooster again) Huh? What did you say?
Wooster: Wooster said your eyes pretty
Ava: Uhhh....(blushes more)....you really think so?
Wooster: (smiles as he nods)
Ava: Wow....I....I don't know what to say, except....thank you.
Male voice: A-ha! I knew it!
Ava: (recognizes that voice) Oh no...(turns around, sees Stan)
Stan: Look at ya two! Making goo-goo eyes at each other!
Heff: Uh, yeah! You two must love each other!
Ava: (stammers and twiddles her fingers as she can't come up with anything to say)
Stan and Heff: (together) Ava and Wooster, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N--
Heff: (interrupts) Uh, Stan? Isn't Wooster too big to sit on a tree without squishing it?
Stan: (facepalms) Well, anyway, you two do what ya want. We'll give you some....privacy. (laughs)
Ava: (growls) Stan! You're embarrassing me!
Stan: Whatever ya say, lover girl! (laughs as he and Heff leave)
Ava: Phew! Well....I guess the cat is out of the bag...
Wooster: Huh?
Ava: Umm...Wooster? Do you have special feelings for me?
Wooster: What feelings you mean?
Ava: I don't know. Maybe....love?
Wooster: Oh. Uh-huh.
Ava: You mean....?
Wooster: Yes. Wooster love you, Ava.
Ava: Well...to tell you the truth...I...oh, what the heck! I love you, too! (hugs Wooster by his head)
Wooster: (feels something in his chest pounding) Huh? What happening to Wooster's chest?
Ava: I think your heart is beating...for me.
Wooster: Wooster's heart...yes....heart beating for you, Ava!
Ava: Mm-hmm. (just remembered something) Oh, shoot! I gotta go! I promised Stan I'd help him and his wife with some things around the house. I'll see you tomorrow, Wooster. I look forward to it. (kisses Wooster on the cheek, then she leaves)
Wooster: (holds his hand to where Ava kissed him, he blinks twice, then he starts showing a lovestruck smile, hearts start hovering and popping over his head)
To be continued....
