Carly & Jason ~ *Long Haul*

Scene ~ The Q garden, after the incident outside of Luke's...

Jason: Okay. It's all clear. Go ahead.

Carly: Jase? I know that I over-reacted tonight.

Jason: Oh, now you want to get into it. Carly, these people probably aren't even asleep yet.

Carly: Do you know why I get crazy like that?

Jason: Because you can't help it?

Carly: Do you know why I can't help it?

Jason: Am I supposed to guess because I haven't so far and we could be out here for awhile.

Carly: Okay, look. This is my nightmare. Okay? It's not that my plan won't work. It's that it will. And I'll finally be through with all this. And Michael and I will come back and you won't be there waiting for us.

Jason: Why would you think that?

Carly: Because I make you mad. So mad. And I make you promises all the time, Jason. But you don't make them back to me.

Jason: Alright, look. I am in this, for the long haul. Okay? You don't need to pull crazy stunts, you don't need to smack waitresses around to convince me.

Carly: You've never said that before.

Jason: I thought it was understood.

Carly: Not by me. I'm sorry, okay. I know I'm a pain. It's just because I, just... It's just everything. The stakes are so high.

Jason: For me too.

Carly: Thank you. (they hug)

Jason: Oh, Carly...

(she laughes, and her fingers run over his hair and the back of his neck... Then she pulls him into a steamy kiss. A kiss of which he is most definitely kissing her back...)

* * * * *

Carly: Mmm...

Jason: (he pushes her away) Carly-! What are you doing? What- What are you doing? These people are gonna come out here.

Carly: So let them!

Jason: (the you-know-better tone) Carly.

Carly: What? (pause) What? You going back for that girl at Lukes? (he gives her a look) Just a question. Are you?

Jason: What do you think?

Carly: (she looks at him for a second) I think this!

(She grabs onto his jacket lapels and enthusiastically tries to kiss him again. A move which I can't see how their teeth didn't knock against each other...)

Jason: Carly-! Carly, stop it. I gotta go. (he beats a hasty retreat into the bushes)

Carly: No, no! Ugh!
