Jim: Good morning Marybeth.
Marybeth: Oh, hi Jim!
[Grace and May whispering]
Grace: May, look its working!
May: You are right. They’re smiling at each other. Wait a second; we forgot one piece of information.
Grace: What?
May: I wonder what Angelines going to think about this!
Grace: Oh yeah. She couldn’t get too mad.
May: Who says she has to know?
Grace: We’re better off keeping it a secret.
May: We should go before Marybeth gets suspicious!
[May and Grace go offstage]
Jim: So Marybeth, there is going to be a ball this weekend and I was wondering if you would like to come with Angeline and I?
Marybeth: I’d love to! I’ll meet you in the dining hall.
Jim: Okay! Do you want to go for a walk?
Marybeth: Sure!
Narrator: Little did they know that two nosy girls were trailing behind them.
Grace: Look May! They’re holding hands!
May: Yuck! Come on, we have to find out what they’re saying!
[They hide behind crates]
Grace: What’s that something about a ball?
May: He’s inviting her to the ball!
Grace: I think this plan just might work!
May: Oh no! Grace, we forgot about Diana!
Grace: We’ve got to find her!
Grace: Diana? Where are you!
[Meanwhile]
Diana: May May, Gracie me come get you. Hide, Seek, Hide, Seek!
[Diana exits, May and Grace enter]
May: Oh no! We’re going to be in so much trouble! I think we should tell Marybeth.
Grace: I guess so.
Grace: Marybeth! Jim! We need your help we lost Diana!
May: Michael is with Mama but we left Dian on the deck. Oops!
Jim: We’d better hurry and find her.
