Bobby & Jenny

OK this is not the most brilliant scene, more of a framework idea feel free to pick it to pieces, change it around and inject some humour!Smile
Haven't had much imagination or inspiration this week but felt I should add something to this section!

It is the day after the village fate, a national holiday taken by the majority of the village people after their day of hard work. Also comes in handy for recovering the hangovers which are caused by the celebrations on the evening of the fate.
Some services in the village were still up and running. The pub was open at midday, although very quiet, apart from sgt Bagheera enjoying a pint with his cousin, landlord Fred. Bobby was therefore the plod on the beat.
 

During the usual rounds Bobby sees Jenny George, from rival family, going for a run in the park and doing several complicated exercises. Bobby silently watches her. He’d often thought that he would like to get to know her better, but due to his family and her family having such a rift it was near impossible to speak to her.
 

Bobby sees Jenny slip on the path, and being a gentleman rushed over to help her. However, being naturally clumsy a rather slapstick charade ensues as Booby ends up slipping over too, skidding into Jenny and causing more pain and trouble than help.
 

‘OW’ jenny yelled.
‘I’m really, really sorry’ Bobby stuttered.
‘What are you doing….’ Jenny angrily demanded after seeing who had crashed into her. She didn’t care much for the family feud, and had often admired Bobby in his uniform from afar but had to pretend not to like him.
 

Bobby stumbles to his feet and straightens himself up before explaining ‘I saw you slip over and came to help’
 

‘Oh’ Jenny replies, obviously softening.
Bobby helps Jenny up and guides her to a nearby bench.
‘Are you o.k?’ Bobby inquired ‘Shall I help you home?’
‘No, um, u had better not as Dad’s at home’ Jenny replied, they exchanged meaningful glances.
‘Well its pretty quite today we could go to the pub and I’ll get you a drink?’ Bobby earnestly answered.
Jenny smiled ‘o.k then’
 

They walked slowly towards the pub. Jenny leaning on Bobby as it was clear her ankle had been twisted.
Fred and bagheera were still in the pub, Tanya and Mary were conspiring together at the bar and old Sam was slouched in the corner.
Jenny and Booby sit down together with their drinks and start an awkward but successful conversation. They agree to secretly meet up that evening whilst everyone else was at the lyric and rhyme poetry evening.

Lots of little things stacked up will sooner or later give us (I hope!) the tensions etc. which seem to be de rigeur in every self-respecting soap :grin  
 
Not sure the Sarge is going to be "up for" alcoholic libations after his unfortunate experiences with magic mushrooms earlier today, though ......... 8) :eek

Ahhhh.. A touch of the ol' West Side Story meets The Krankies going on here. Forbidden lust and all that. Well done brook, both bobbies on the piss in the middle of the day, Sgt. Bagheera related to shifty Fred, just another day in the Village.

was thinking more romeo & juliet actually... that way you'll be able to kill someone off!!!
