The Greatest Story Never Told

So yesterday when I got out of court, I was feeling good. We totally prosecuted Jes Markson for first degree murder. So on my way out, the defense side followed us with a video camera. I wasn't too worried about this, because I had heard of teams recording the trials for notetaking purposes. However, they came up to us and made conversation. It went as follows.

(scene: outside the courtroom. There are several people around including Pascal, Kurtis, Reed, Camera Girl, Defense Attorneys and Myself.)

Camera Girl: Hi. We're doing a Mock Trial video. We're going to iclude bits from all of our scrimmages and competitions.

Reed: That's pretty cool.

Defense Attorney 1: Yeah, but it's a dance video.

Camera Girl: So if you guys could help us out...

Kurtis: I can't dance.

Reed: Everyone's waiting for us...

Chris: Well, alright, but I'm not very good...

Defense Attorney 2: (sotto) He's the cool one.

Chris puts his briefcase down and does a break dance. As is his custom, it isn't very good.

Defense Attorneys 1-3: How awesome!

Chris finishes and grabs his briefcase. He exits the buliding. Scene

(scene: outside the courthouse. The Templeton Mock Trial teams are waiting in a group. Attorneys and Witnesses are exiting the building. Chris hurries towards the group. He is followed by the Company from last scene.)

Reed: Wait, what was that?

Kurtis: You had a bad ending. It left a bad taste in the mouth.

Chris: Let's go. Come on, we're leaving.

Defense Attorney 9: (in background)Will you marry me?

Chris pretends not to hear. He keeps walking.

Pascal: Chris Kidd! She asked you a question, Chris Kidd!!

Defense Attorney9: Will you marry me?

Chris crosses to her. He puts a hand on her shoulder.

Chris: I'm sorry. you know that I can't. It's not you... It's me.

Pause. Chris then turns around and fades into the crowds. Fade out on Defense Attorney 9 crying. Scene.

And I never looked back. That was the highlite of my day. But it was kind of embarassing at the time.

is it the greatest, and was never told,

or,

is it the greatest because it was never told?

This is just another new thing that's become old. If you're reading this, then you must be very determined indeed. But I digress. This is where I pour out what cannot be said anywhere else. Sometimes, this can be a little depressing or foolish, so bear with me.
