Two men and One girl I(1)

There's these two men

One named Norman Baines

The other man, Joe Fenton

Both have love for the lovely girl

Named Jenny Stone

Love is in the air but these two men

Have led themselves into a place that is known

as...The Twilight Zone

Norman is working on an editorial page for the newspaper route when suddenly his mother, Lydia, came into his working space

Lydia: Norman.

Norman:(looks up) Yes mom?

Lydia: have you spoken to that girl outside?

Norman: what girl?

Lydia: you haven't seen her?

Norman: I haven't an idea what you're talking about.

Lydia: oh for heaven's sake look out the window.

Norman:(goes toward the window and looks out).

Lydia: do you see her?

Norman:(sees a blonde) her?

Lydia: no she's dark haired not blonde.

Norman:(sees a dark haired beauty) no i haven't seen or talked to her yet.

Lydia: Well you probably should considering you're single.

Norman: She is so beautiful I wonder if she'd accept me and not any other guy.

Lydia: go outside and have a small chat with her.

She leaves the room

Norman:(to himself) she's mine.

While Norman prepares himself to go out and talk to the dark haired beauty, over two blocks down from the Baines residence is the Fenton house. Inside the Fenton house is kindly old John Fenton and his son WW2 veteran, Joe Fenton. Joe is cleaning up the attic when John walks up the stairs to the entrance of the attic.

John: Joe.

Joe: yeah(bumps his head) ow!

John: what on earth are you doing up here?

Joe: cleanin' what does it look like I'm doing?

John: well my boy i can hear it downstairs.

Joe: sorry dad but I have a feeling that, that is not the only reason you came up.

John: well you're right because evidently we have a new neighbor in town. Have you seen her?

Joe: no why?

John: Because she seems to be lonely and you seem-

Joe: dad what are you trying to say or do?

John: what I'm trying to say is you are always stuck inside and maybe you need to go out and at least try to make a friend.

Joe: I'm fine with not going outside.

John: you seriously need a friend.

Joe: Dad don't make me think about what happened at pearl harbor that day or Normandy or the Battles of Stalingrad, Bulge, and Leningrad please it brings me too much pain.

John: But we won the war Joe.

Joe: I know.

John: But still you should at least try to socialize because it would be good for you.

Joe: Ok I will but after I clean this mess up.

John: That's my boy.

Joe: wait what does this girl look like?

John: look out the window.

Joe:(looks out the window and sees a dark haired girl) wow.

John: you see her?

Joe: yes she is beautiful and i'll go outside and talk to her after I clean up in here.

John: ok Joe suit yourself.

He leaves the room

Joe:(to himself) my oh my she is so beautiful! She's mine!

Inside his mind

Joe: This is the first time I have actually fallen in love with a girl who I haven't even met yet. Hopefully she accepts me. I hope she likes me. I hope no other man gets her before me.

He continues cleaning the attic

While Joe finishes up cleaning the attic, Norman has completed his writing piece of the editorial page for the newspaper and has gotten himself ready to introduce himself to the dark haired beauty he saw. Little does he know that Joe also saw her and has developed feelings for her as well.

Norman:(goes to the front door).

Lydia: remember Norman be polite.

Norman: I will mom.

Lydia goes up to her room

Norman goes outside

He spots the dark haired beauty he saw earlier and goes up to her

Norman: hi.

The dark haired beauty sees Norman

Norman: I'm Norman I'm one of your new neighbors.

The dark haired beauty: Nice to meet you Norman(shakes his hand) I'm Jenny.

Norman:(shakes her hand) it's a pleasure to meet you Jenny.

Jenny: thank you not too many people tell me that.

Norman: well that's sad but you have someone who told you and that someone is me.

Jenny: wow you're a really nice man.

Norman: thank you um would you like to come inside my house since it is kind of hot out here and you look as if you have been working hard and maybe a glass of water may help rebuild your energy.

Jenny: That is really kind of you but I still need to finish up raking the leaves up other wise I'll continue to put it off.

Norman: No really it's no trouble and I can take care of those for you.

Jenny: oh no you don't have to.

Norman: no I insist.

Meanwhile up in the attic

Joe hears the conversation and goes to the window

He looks out the window and sees Norman talking to Jenny

Inside his mind

Joe: why?! why did that man suddenly get the chance to speak to her?! I am barely finishing up and he already talks to her. I hate him! I hate him! Wait a minute I haven't even met her though but still I do have a massive crush on her and I indeed want to go out and talk to her but I have to finish up first.

He finishes up cleaning

Joe:(to himself) ok all spick and span now time to introduce myself to the girl.

He goes downstairs

Meanwhile Norman is finishing up his conversation with Jenny

Norman: Jenny would you like to go out for a stroll sometime?

Jenny: Yes but when I am not real busy.

Norman: Ok sounds good.

Jenny: I'll let you know and I thank you again for raking up the leaves.

Norman: No problem it was my pleasure.

Jenny: you're very thoughtful.

Norman:(smiles).

Meanwhile Joe is at the front door and is about to go outside

John: Joe are you done with the attic?

Joe: yes dad i'm going to go outside and talk to the girl.

John: ok but remember be a gentleman don't be rude or anything.

Joe: I won't dad I promise.

John goes to his studies and reads

Joe goes outside

Norman has left and went back to his house

Joe sees Jenny and goes up to her

Jenny:(sweeping).

Joe: mind if I help you miss?

Jenny:(sees Joe) oh hello who are you?

Joe: I'm Joe and your name is?

Jenny: I'm Jenny.

Joe: Jenny that's a mighty pretty name(grabs her hand and kisses it).

Jenny: Thank you Joe and that voice of yours is very soothing and nobody has ever done that before.

Joe: done what?

Jenny: kiss my hand.

Joe: Well I'm that someone who has kissed your hand now.

Jenny: you're a very sweet man Joe.

Joe: I can sweep for you if you don't mind.

Jenny: Oh no I don't want to put this on you it's not your chores.

Joe: eh I just cleaned an attic so this ain't gonna bother me and I did serve our country in world war 2 so I have done other intense things.

Jenny:(shakes his hand) thank you for your service.

Joe: You're welcome.

Jenny: But seriously I shouldn't make you clean for me.

Joe: Like I've said before I don't mind.

In Norman's room

Norman looks out the window and sees Joe

Norman:(eyes get big).

Inside his mind

Norman: where did that man come from? I was just outside talking to Jenny and I walk away and peers up out of nowhere! Well he better keep his hands to himself as Jenny is mine!

Meanwhile Joe finishes up sweeping for Jenny

Jenny: I cannot thank you anymore than I have Joe but I apologize for making you do it.

Joe: Eh don't worry about it Jenny it's no trouble what so ever.

Jenny: That's good atleast I got the outside done now I have to clean up the inside of my house.

Joe: I can help you with that.

Jenny: Oh no Joe you've done enough.

Joe: If I help you I may take you out later perhaps to dinner.

Jenny: That's very sweet of you Joe.

In Norman's room

Norman:(heard what Joe said and gets peeved).

Inside his mind

Norman: This man is stealing her right before my eyes. I must go out there and offer her help to show that man that she wants me.

He leaves his room and goes to the front door

Inside his mind

Norman: Ok mom isn't around time to make my move and fast.

He goes outside to where Jenny is

Norman: hey Jenny.

Jenny: Norman I didn't expect to-

Norman: I can help you too as one man can't do it alone.

Joe:(sees Norman and gets a jealous look in his eyes).

Inside his mind

Joe: I am helping Jenny out and this intruder comes in and says one man can't do it oh hell I can run rings around him. He is trying to steal Jenny from me well I won't have it but I must keep my cool.

Outside his mind

Joe: Thank you for the offer young man but I think I got it.

Norman: Oh no I insist because after all a big guy like you can't really carry a dozen things up and down stairs.

Joe: If I said I can do it that means I can do it.

Norman:(gets a jealous look in his eyes).

Inside his mind

Norman: I was only saying that so you'd back off and leave so that I can have time with Jenny. You dirty girl thief. Ok I have to keep my cool.

Outside his mind

Norman: Again I insist!

Jenny: Ok boys let's not fight. You both can come in and help me if you'd like.

Joe: My pleasure.

Norman: Will do.

They go inside

Jenny:(stares at the door).

Inside her mind

Jenny: I barely meet these two men and already they were fighting over helping me clean my house. I do not mind either of them helping me though I do not want to burden them but still I never had men fight over anything that benefited me or even over me. I better get inside because they may try to kill each other.

She goes inside and shuts the door
