Storybook Romance Vol. 2

[PeggleFrank]

This is like the original storybook romance thread, but it's slightly different.

Read this quote. What's in the quote has been modified to an extent, so even if you already know the rules, I suggest you take a look at it.

So there's this couple right? Their names are John Freeman and May Stock. They're in mild love, basically at the friend zone. Your goal is to either get them married, or to keep them apart. The way it works is that they start out with 500 points. Each devious/good act will either raise or lower those points. If they have hit zero, they'll stay apart forever. If they hit 1000, they'll get married. You also may only use a plot line once. You also cannot kill them. There must also be a chance it could actually happen (As in, twenty mountain lions can't just randomly come out of nowhere and attack them both, right when they were about to go on a date). Also, there is no time limit on this version of Storybook Romance. It lasts until they either leave each other or get married.

Good? Good. Now let's begin.

(Also, I have an idea for a Storybook Romance Vol. 3, for more advanced players, though I won't make that thread just yet. Hint: Independent thoughts, beliefs (not religious or political), and scores)

John Freeman finally works up the courage to ask Mary out for a date. He picks a pretty generic and boring date to the movies, but he's much to nervous to do anything much.

Having not bonded a decent relationship yet, they almost completely forget about each other by the time John gets back. They attempt to recreate the relationship, but their attempts don't end well.
