Allison: Ha.. ha.. ha.. I’m not sure that’s a opossum.. What are you having to eat?
Brian: (Begins to sweat). Take another look, maybe you missed it. It’s BigFoot. Get it? 
Crickets noise
Narrator: Important side note, it isn’t hard to make Allison laugh. Even a wall can make her laugh. Anything. But she didn’t seem to think Brian’s greatest one liner was impressive.
Brian: Thinking to himself – this is going horribly wrong. Maybe if I just get up from the table and run away, we can forget this happened. I don’t think she can sense humor. But I will remain a gentleman and put on my best face for the rest of the evening.
Allison: Thinking to herself - What is he talking about? Does he think I am not interested? I am VERY interested! I hope the rest of the night goes well.
Narrator: And the night went well. Actually, it went better than well! It was one of the best dates either of them have been on in quite some time!
 
INTERMISSION (Go surf YouTube for BigFoot footage)
 
Narrator: Months have gone by now. And Brian and Allison’s love grew stronger and stronger for each other. In March of 2020, COVID is now in the midst and there is NOTHING. TO. DO. except be at home and do Disney puzzles. Through a tragic and near death accident, Allison violently trips on a workout mat nearly severing her leg. Technically, it’s a partial tear to her Lisfranc ligament. She will survive (queue I Will Survive music). Now she is in a cast, and helplessly dependent on others. Brian gallantly comes to her rescue and helps her on the weekends (Giving Andrew Homer, Allison’s Brother, a much deserved breather).
 
Act 4: May 16, 2020 - The Proposal
Spotlight. Center Stage. Brian sits on a stool in a pondering pose. Allison… backstage getting her cast on her foot.
Narrator: All of a sudden, a light bulb turns on in Brian’s head.
Brian: It is time! Time to propose to Allison (there is nothing else going on…).
Narrator: Brian begins to assemble his A-team.
Enter Parents, Andrew Homer, James Antal, Cheryl Aguas, Ann Baum, Matt Baum, Michelle Dow, and Hannah Severson. Salute Brian.
Brian: At ease soldiers! Can ya’ll show up at 7:30pm on May 16th?
Everyone: Sure!
Narrator: Later that day… Brian keeps his composure. Operation Proposal begins. Brian wants to start making dinner at 1700 hours (5:00pm CST)
Allison: What do you mean you want to be eating by 6:00pm? Let’s start eating at 7:00pm like usual!
Brian: (A light sweat forms on his forehead) I am starving. Let’s start to make our way upstairs to the cooking chambers. I can gallantly carry you, if required.
Allison: Meh, I’m not hungry. Go eat a snack.
Narrator: It is now 5:30pm and Brian is sweating profusely.
Allison: I guess we can go start cooking now!
Brian: YESSSSSSSSSS. Going to change clothes as I spilt sauce on my shirt from lunch.
Brian exits. Returns in nice clothes for once.
Allison: Not as nice as that sport coat, but it’ll do. I quickly realized how difficult cooking became with one leg and a scooter.
Time: 6:50pm
Brian: (Turns to audience, breaks fourth wall) There is no way we will be ready by 7:30pm. Execute Defcon 5: call A-Team for plan update.
Narrator: Brian frantically texts the A-Team the change of plans while putting the broccoli into the oven. The A-Team quickly adjusts to the unforeseen (though could’ve expected) Allison time extension.
Time: 7:30pm
Narrator: Allison and Brian are FINALLY sitting at the table about to enjoy their meal.
Enter A-team. Outside, Michelle Dow does an unexpected singing in the rain twirl in her bright yellow raincoat. Allison looks out the window at the exact moment Michelle is twirling.
Allison: I want to go to that party with the champagne. Wait… are those my friends? Is that Michelle? Yep! Those are my friends.
A-Team enters the room.
Brian: Will you marry me?
Allison: YES!!!
Narrator: They lived happily ever after!
 
THE END
