Young At Heart, Scene #01
Imagine the anticipation as young, vibrant Leslie (Kylie Rocket) steps up to the door of someone she's been connecting with online, ready for their first real-world encounter. She knocks, her heart fluttering with excitement, only to be greeted by a surprise guest star: Charles (Mick Blue), a distinguished older man who introduces himself as Jonah's parent. But where's Jonah? The plot thickens as Leslie steps inside, the stage set for a performance she never saw coming. Charles, ever the charismatic host, keeps the conversation flowing, but Leslie can't shake the feeling that something's amiss. Where is her mysterious online connection? She tries to reach out, only to find the telltale 'ding!' of her message landing on Charles' phone. What's going on here? The suspense builds, and Charles knows it's time for his big reveal. In a monologue that's equal parts confessional and impassioned plea, Charles drops the bombshell: he's been playing the part of Jonah all along. He spins a tale of loneliness and longing, of a man who feels young at heart but is trapped in a body that's seen too many years. He talks of the magic they shared online, the spark that made him feel alive again. But now, the spotlight turns to Leslie. How will she react to this unexpected twist? Leslie's shock is palpable. This isn't just a little white lie; it's a complete rewriting of reality. She's unnerved, her trust shaken. But Charles, ever the performer, isn't ready to give up the stage just yet. He argues his case, claiming age is just a number, promising pleasure and passion beyond anything she's experienced with men her age. Can he convince her? Can he turn this shocking revelation into a standing ovation? But Leslie hesitates. She's caught in the limelight, torn between the creepiness of the deception and the intrigue of the promise. Charles, sensing her uncertainty, makes her an offer that's as bold as it is provocative. He proposes a test, a performance review of sorts. If he can pleasure her like no young man ever has, will she give him a real chance? The ball's in Leslie's court now. Will she take the gamble? Will she give this unexpected leading man a shot at the role of a lifetime? The stage is set for a performance like no other. It's a tale of deception and desire, of age and attraction, of a young heart trapped in an old body. Will Leslie be able to see past the lie? Will Charles' performance be enough to win her heart? The curtain rises, the spotlight shines, and the audience waits with bated breath. This is one show you won't want to miss!
