Act 2, Scene1
Meanwhile, a mile outside of Saskatoon…
An amusement park. The rides are covered with tarps, obviously not in use for the time being. The light of the rising full moon fell on the abandoned rides, casting long, wild shadows of various shapes and sizes across the dirt and gravel. The lot is abandoned for the time being, except for those that use it for several reasons - from getting high to drinking alcohol to making out.
Sitting by the empty Merry-Go-Round were two men, one a few years younger than the other. One was African American with very short black hair and almond brown eyes. He wore a red long sleeve button up shirt and black pants with matching black shoes. The younger man next to him had wild black hair and hazel eyes. His outfit consisted of a black angora sweater over a white tank top with denim jeans covered in many patches and blue slippers.
“C’mon Wayne, tell ol’ Jeff the Puckster what’s eating you.” The wild raven haired man asked, nudging his older friend. Wayne sighed.
“Titania’s being a bitch and won’t let me help train that little boy she adopted to be one of us carnies.” Wayne told Jeff.
“Maybe it’s Caroline’s time of the month or something.” Jeff guessed, referring to Titania by her real name. Wayne shook his head.
“Nah, I think it’s gotta deal with the fact that the mother of that kid was her best friend, Karen. Karen was raped by a crazed old boyfriend of hers and was knocked up by that. Caroline stuck by her through all the nine months, until that asshole came after her again, making her go into labor. The guy was shot by a cop because he was holding Karen hostage and Karen gave birth to that boy, Garfield.” Wayne explained.
“But Karen died, right? Because of trauma of being a hostage?” Jeff asked, trying to remember what happened.
“Yeah, plus she hemorrhaged and lost a lot of blood. Since then, Caroline adopted little Gar and she’s been looking after him for the past five years.” Wayne nodded, continuing the story.
“And now she doesn’t want you to help educate him in the fine arts of the amusement park worker?” Jeff asked. Wayne nodded, looking a bit grim. Jeff pushed himself up and walked on the Merry-Go-Round stage, giving a once over of the wooden horses on the ride.
“Why do you drug her so she’ll allow you to teach Gar how to be a carnie like us?” Jeff suggested, checking a wooden horse for any paint scrapings’. Wayne turned to his friend in surprise, not expecting Jeff to suggest that.
“Jeff, I know you’re a trickster and all, but, drugging someone like that, isn’t that… a little too evil?” Wayne asked, surprised. Jeff pulled himself onto the horse he was inspecting to check its sturdiness.
“Well, it has been pretty dull around here for the past several months. Besides, the park doesn’t open until tomorrow. Why not have a little fun, Oberon?” Jeff replied, calling Wayne by his carnival nickname he had adopted. Wayne said nothing. Jeff frowned, swinging off the wooden horse.
“Josie, listen to me!”
“Why do you keep following me? I told you I want nothing to do with you!”
“But Josie, I told you what Ryan and Colin are planning on doing, why won’t you give me another chance?!”
Wayne left his position on the side of the Merry-Go-Round and hid with Jeff behind two of the horses of the ride. Josie, with a pleading Greg not too far behind, walked onto the fairground. Josie stopped and turned to face Greg.
“Look, I appreciate you telling me what’s going on with Colin and Ryan, but if you don’t mind, I’d like you to piss off and LEAVE ME ALONE!” Josie snapped. In a huff, she turned from him and walked away, entering the amusement park. Greg sighed, a smile on his face.
“Every time she does that, I think I love her even more.” Greg smiled, following Josie’s example by entering the amusement park.
Back at the Merry-Go-Round, Jeff and Wayne watched the exchange with interest.
“Chick needs to get laid badly…” Jeff muttered, leaning forward on the horse he was standing by. Wayne turned to face Jeff, a look of mischief on his face.
“Where’s that love potion you were making up with Kathy and Drew last week?” Wayne asked. Jeff, not expecting that question, looked at Wayne surprise.
“Back at the bunk area, why?” Jeff answered, wondering what Wayne was planning.
“How about putting it to use on that couple we just saw? You know who to use it on, but give me some. I want to test it on Caroline to see if she’ll let me train Garfield.” Wayne explained. Jeff’s confusion turned to understanding and he nodded.
“Oh you bet it’ll work, Wayne!” Jeff replied, very enthusiastic. Both men together then ran off to the bunk area.
More to come soon, so please read and review.
