Dating in the 60's
Pete and Jane were swell kids who had a crush on one another. Eventually, after a soda at the high school cafeteria with friends, Pete worked up the courage to ask Jane out on a date.
"Say, Jane, you're looking swell today," said Pete.
"Thanks Pete," said Jane, "you too."
After an awkward silence, Pete continued.
"Say Jane," he said, "I was wondering, if you weren't doing anything, aww, shucks don't worry about it..."
Pete began to walk off, but Jane stopped him.
"I'd love to..." She said, taking his arm.
Pete looked down at her arm in his then up at her face, then down at her arm again, in disbelief.
"Well," Jane continued, "you were going to ask me out, weren't you?"
"Was I!!" Replied Pete, "you bet!"
They both laughed, their friends laughed, the cafeteria staff in their crisp white uniforms all laughed. The principal came in and he laughed too. Then the bell went and everybody went back to class.
The next few days passed quickly as Pete and Jane waited excitedly for their big date. It was all the talk around the bleachers at school. Would he take her up to make out lane? Would they get to second base?
Saturday came and the sun was shining. Mr Brown was walking his dog early and waved hello to Pete who was returning from his paper route. Life was A-ok.
Pete spent an enjoyable day helping out at the local community hall as they prepared for the local town fair the next day. Several people remarked what a responsible young man he was becoming.
Eventually, day turned to evening and Pete readied himself for his date. He put on his best blue tuxedo with frilly shirt and asked Dad if he could borrow the car.
"You be careful son." his father replied.
At 7pm sharp Pete arrived to pick Jane up.
"Promise you'll have her back by 10:30," said Jane's father sternly.
"Daddy!" Said Jane.
"I will Mr Farelly." promised Pete.
An awkward silence befell them in the car as they drove to the movie house. Eventually, Pete got up the courage to break it.
"Aaw heck Jane!" he said, "We've known each what feels like forever, can we just relax and have a swell time?"
Jane smiled happily, her braces shining in the evening sun.
"I'd like that." She said
The rest of the car trip they laughed and joked with one another. Pete told Jane about how he'd made quarterback in the school team, Jane told Pete how she'd become head cheerleader.
They had a groovy time at the movie, they shared a popcorn and a Coke between them, the Coke with two straws.
After the movie Pete plucked up the courage to ask if Jane would like to go for a drive to make out lane. Blushing, she said she would.
Nerves jangling in their stomachs, Pete parked the car up at make out point and turned the music up a little. In the still of the night was playing.
Pete shuffled closer to Jane and put his arm around her shoulder. They both leaned in to one another nervously, ready to kiss. As they did, they were startled by a tap on the window. Immediately Pete began to panic. Was it the police? Was it Jane's father? Panicking, he quickly rolled down the window, and neither of them had any time to think about what was happening before they both HAD THEIR HEADS BLOWN OFF BY THE ZODIAC KILLER!!!
