TRUE STORY FROM 1993

Hey Rachel, wanna call our crushes? Rachel, wanna call our crushes? Who's your crush? Guess who? Steven, duh. Good guess, but I have a new one. You do? Well I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours, but you have to go first since I called it first. Okay. It's Ryan. Oh my god, Ryan's mine too! Whoa, are you serious? It's not Mark anymore? I saw him hawk a loogie on the sidewalk and it really grossed me out. We both like Ryan, that's awesome. He's so fine. I looked up his number in the phone book. I did too. Should we call him? What will we say? Just like, 'Hey Ryan, this is Rachel and Tina, we're just calling to say hey, what's up? What's going on?' Oh no, I don't know. Maybe we should just like call and sing him a song or something and then just like hang up. That is a really great idea and we can sing it together. Something by Mariah. I know the perfect song that we both know every single word to. Dreamlover. Yes. Okay, but we can't call here because whenever I try to use the phone, my mom always picks up and starts dialing my grandma and then thinks she's talking to her. My mom does that too. It's so embarrassing. So where are we gonna call? You know the building where Hooked on Books is? Yeah. Well, it's two stories and there's an elevator, but nobody ever uses it. And inside, there's a phone. Oh my god, this is gonna be crazy. Mom, Rachel and I were going bike riding. Do you think we've rehearsed enough? Absolutely. I think we're talent show ready. Rachel, you sound amazing. Okay. You dial when he answers, I'll go like this, and then we'll both start singing. Okay, but what if his mom or dad answers? Oh my god, I'll just ask for him. Okay, okay. It's ringing. It's an answering machine. What do we do? It's now or never, Rachel. Okay, okay. Dream lover, come rescue me. Come rescue me. Take me up, take me down, take me anywhere you want to, baby now. I need you so desperately. Won't you please come around? Cause I want to share forever. Cause I want to share forever with you, baby. Hang up, hang up, hang up. Okay, hang up. Oh my god, we were awesome!
