Plot 142: A Little Surprise

Muse A is annoyed when someone rings their doorbell late at night. When they answer the door, they’re even more annoyed to come face-to-face with their ex,Muse B. Muse B, typically smug and rude, looks panicked and makes a plea for Muse A’s help. Bitter about the sour ending of their relationship by Muse B’s fault, Muse A is poised to slam the door shut in Muse B’s face. Just before they can, a pint-sized kid peers out from behind Muse B’s legs and asks to use the bathroom. Muse A may loathe Muse B, but they aren’t heartless, so they let the child in and begrudgingly also Muse B. While the child is in the bathroom, Muse A demands an explanation from their ex. Muse B breaks down and explains that the child is theirs but they only recently found out. The kid was left at their door by their other parent and they’re freaking out because they have no idea how to raise the child, especially not alone. Muse B came to Muse A for help because they have no one else to turn to. Muse A is sympathetic, mainly for the child, and only because of this does Muse A agree to help.

Muse A is upset when they discover that their pet has gotten out of the house somehow. Despite a frantic search of the immediate neighborhood, Muse A is unsuccessful at finding their beloved animal companion.

Several miles away,  Muse B hears something unusual when they're taking out the garbage. It's Muse A's pet rustling around in an overturned trash can, looking for food. Muse B cautiously approaches the animal, looking for a name tag on their collar but it seems to have broken off.

Over the course of a few days, Muse B develops a soft spot for Muse A's pet and Muse B actually considers keeping the animal.

Plot 124: Showmance

Muse A is fresh out of school and isn’t quite sure what they want to do with their life next. Before they can start shopping their resume around, they get a call from the casting department at a major TV network. Muse A almost forgot about the impromptu audition tape that they made for a Real World-esque reality TV show several weeks ago. To their surprise, they’ve been chosen to be a cast member! With no obligations holding them back, they pack their bags and fly out to the house where they’ll be living with 6 other people for the summer. Muse B is one of their cast mates—the first person Muse A meets upon arriving at the house.  With a little coaxing from production, it isn’t long before Muse A and Muse B are in a full-blown show-mance: cuddling in the common areas of the house, kissing in the confessional booth, fighting about the other flirting with someone else at the club and so on. Overall, the experience is a blast for Muse A and the relationship with Muse B is fun, but it’s nothing Muse A anticipates to last once the show is over. Everyone parts ways when the show wraps at the end of summer, including the house’s it-couple. One week after taping ends, Muse A hears a knock at their front door. It’s Muse B, who’s just moved across the country in the hopes of continuing their romance with Muse A.  

Optional: This could be a group plot if the show experience is played out.

Muse A has been cordially invited to their 10 year high school reunion.  After several years of putting off attending, Muse A is encouraged by a close friend and former classmate, Muse B, who promises that they’ll go too. This year’s reunion is unlike any other; the high school is hosting a lock-in—an all-night event in which former students will be sleeping over within the hallowed halls they once ruled or dreaded. It’ll be a night filled with memories-- reliving old ones and creating new ones. Muse A and Muse B will encounter friends from their past and maybe some old enemies too. Once the sun rises the next morning, the school doors will be unlocked and all former students will go their separate ways, back to their adult lives.  

Was high school the best time of Muse A and Muse B’s lives or a time they’d be better off forgetting?  Since graduation, have they changed for the better or for the worse?

Plot 75: The Truth is Relative

After Muse A suffers the tragic loss of their parents, they are sent to live with their next of kin, Muse B. Muse A only has fragments of memories of Muse B from childhood, but legally, Muse B is named their legal guardian. It's a huge adjustment for a grieving Muse A who is forced to leave behind life in a big city, to move to a sleepy sea-side town with Muse B, whom they barely remember. Muse B certainly isn't prepared to raise a child/teenager either and must learn pretty quickly how to be a good role model for Muse A. Muse A and Muse B get along as well as possible, considering the circumstances, that is until Muse A goes exploring their new home and discovers a box of letters addressed to them from Muse B--letters that they never received--letters that contain the truth.

Despite everything Muse A's been raised to believe, Muse B is their biological parent. Suddenly Muse A has a ton of unanswered questions. Why did Muse B give them up? Why has this secret been kept from them for so long? Do they want to give Muse B a chance to make things right?

Plot # 18: Spring Fling

Several years ago, Muse A moved away from their quiet hometown to explore life in a busy city, only to discover that it’s not as great as they’d once hoped. Looking for comfort and a break from the hustle and bustle, Muse A travels back to the place they grew up in with the intention of staying only for a few days.  As Muse A crosses the town limits, they recall one of their favorite childhood places to hang out - a small field out by an abandoned farmhouse that had an old tree with a wooden swing. Taking a chance, Muse A drives out there, pleasantly surprised to see the tree and swing still there. Muse A remembers how they used to meet Muse B at this swing after school when they were kids. Muse B was Muse A’s first everything. They grew apart just before Muse A decided to move away and then they completely lost touch. Unbeknownst to Muse A, Muse B still comes to this spot to reminisce about the good, old days. When Muse A takes a seat on the old swing, relaxing in the gentle breeze, the familiar, but aged, voice of Muse B catches their attention.
