The Ride
EXT. Cozy Cabin Bar - Sunset
Xandra looks up from her phone as she heard footsteps crunching in the snow next to her. She looks over to see Stan that is now near her side.
Stan:
Wonderful weather we're having.
Xandra jolts a bit.
Stan, holding back laughter:
Did I scare you?
Xandra:
Yeah, heh.
He laughed harder.
She looks back to her phone.
Stan:
You don't have a ride?
Xandra:
No, though I understand why the taxi services had closed. I wouldn't want to be in this weather, either.
Stan
Come over here for a sec.
She watches Stan move in front of her and decides to follow him.
She was surprised to find herself in front of a trailer van.
Stan:
Are you going to hop in or keep staring?
INT. Stan's Trailer Van - Sunset
Stan starts up the vehicle.
Stan:
You never seen a trailer van before?
Xandra:
I just... never... been in one before.
She buckles her seatbelt.
Stan:
Well, where are you headed?
Xandra:
Scamnumfield Crossroads Apartments.
He pauses to think.
Stan:
Okay, yeah, I know where that is.
A few hours pass...
Stan:
So, about Kent?
Xandra:
Oh, you remember that... I don't know...
Stan:
Was that time underneath the mistletoe genuine or...?
Xandra:
It was... I...
She blushes.
Stan:
You didn't want to do it, did you?
Xandra:
I didn't mind doing it, I just expected it to be on the mouth.
Stan:
Did you want it on the mouth?
Xandra:
Ew, no.
Stan:
So... thoughts...?
Xandra gathers her composure.
Xandra:
I want to do it, again. Maybe cuddle in bed-- platonically-- if that's a thing...
Stan:
It is a thing. It's called being asexual.
Xandra stays silent.
Stan:
What? You thought you were "broken" or something?
Xandra:
No, I just thought that there wasn't a word for it.
Stan:
What? You thought you were "broken" or something?
Xandra:
Huh.
