Break Up and Shape Up

Plot
''One morning, Ben is asleep, in a black T-shirt and grey shorts. His alarm clock rings, reading '8:00'. Ben wakes up, hitting his alarm clock. He sits up and yawns as the alarm clock stops ringing. Ben grabs his cellphone from the table and dials a number, holding the phone up to his left ear. A female voice comes through the other end.''

(Voice, through cellphone): Hey, Ben.

(Ben): Hey, Elena. We're still up for tonight, right?

(Elena, through cellphone): Yeah. See you at 8.

(Ben): Alright. Bye.

Minutes later, Ben, in his regular clothes, walks into the kitchen.

(Ben): Mom? Dad? Hm, they're not up. Eh, they were out pretty late last night.

He hears a voice.

(Voice, raspy): Ben.

Ben turns to the side to see Carl with red lines under his eyes and on his nose.

(Ben): Whoa, Dad! What's up with you?

Sandra walks out from behind Carl.

(Sandra, sighing): Your father's sick, Ben. I don't have time to make breakfast for you. Can you make your own breakfast?

(Ben): Meh, I'll just grab some chilli fries from Burger Shack.

(Sandra): You and your unhealthy eating habits.

(Ben): Would you really want me to make my own breakfast when there's a chance I could spill milk all over the floor like the last time?

Sandra chuckles.

(Sandra): If your father doesn't get any better, I'm afraid you might have to cancel your date.

(Ben, sighing): Alright.

The next morning, Ben is riding his Tenn-Speed to Elena's lab.

(Ben): Sure hope Elena'll forgive me for skipping out on her. She didn't reply to my texts.

''He reaches Elena's lab and parks the Tenn-Speed. As he gets off, his clothes revert from his biker suit to his regular clothes. He walks towards the door and knocks.''

(Ben, nervous): Uh, Elena? You home?

He knocks once more, and the door opens, revealing an angry Elena.

(Ben): Hey.

(Elena): Don't 'hey' me. You cancelled our date!

(Ben): What? My dad got sick and I had to help out around the house.

(Elena): I can't believe you.

(Ben): Elena, I can tell you're in a bad mood. I can help you. I'm here for you. Come on, tell me what's going on.

(Elena): No. We're- We're through.

(Ben): What? Elena, what did I do wrong?
