Meg's Scrawl

Steve's Pen

SIDE A- MEG'S SUPERIOR PLAYLIST TO SAVE THE WORLD-ESPECIALLY FEATURING JOAN JETT BECAUSE SHE'S A GODDESS

(IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY GO TO TRACKS 8, 11, AND 16 FOR BEST RESULTS)

Joan Jett is cool and all but damn you're both angry a lot. 

Shut it Harrington. You just can't appreciate her greatness. 

Only because every time you listen to her you get mad at me for no reason. 

Well not no reason. 

THEN WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS MAD AT ME?!

Because she reminds me that you represent years of Patriarchal oppression.

I don't even know what that means. 

Exactly. 

TRACK 1: Bad Reputation- Joan Jett 

This is you in song form. Isn't it?! 

You love it right? 

Well, I'll give you this...it's grown on me as much as you have. 

You are the best. 

And you need to listen to something that isn't Joan Jett. 

I take it back. 

TRACK 2: 99 Red Balloons (99 Luftballons)- Nena 

Okay. This might be the one song of yours that I just listened to without force. It's a good song. 

A great song and with such a deep political message. 

What's political about balloons? Has there been a clown uprising or something?

Uh...we'll talk about it when you're older. 

TRACK 3: Time After Time- Cyndi Lauper 

I gotta say, Meg, I'm surprised. 

I have layers Steve! Layers! 

TRACK 4: Love Is a Battlefield- Pat Benatar 

Our love really is a battlefield. And you mean that laterally. 

You mean literally. 

Isn't that what I wrote? 

Sure.

TRACK 5: Dream On- Aerosmith 

Wow. Bringing out the 70s glam rock? 

You can't even pretend you don't air guitar to this song, Harrington. I've seen it. 

I deny nothing.

TRACK 6: I Hate Myself For Loving You- Joan Jett and the Blackharts 

Okay, this one hurts McConnel. 

I'M SORRY! It's my apology to younger Meg who definitely doesn't approve of our relationship. 

Uhhhh...what did I do to her? 

We've been over this Steve. 

The sandbox thing? 

YES THE SANDBOX THING! 

Oh. I thought we got over that. I said sorry. 

NO YOU DIDN'T! UGH! THIS IS WHY THIS SONG MAKES SENSE! 

TRACK 7: Gypsy- Fleetwood Mac 

Wait a second! Is this the song that makes you cry?

Uh...yes. 

... Your Mom's favorite song, wasn't it?

 Yeah. It was.

TRACK 8: Faithfully- Journey

Hey! This is the song that was playing when-

When we first really talked.

I really, really like this song.

I love this song.

Yeah, that sounds about right. 

SIDE B: STEVE'S STEROTYPICAL JOCK PLAYLIST BECAUSE MEG'S MUSIC IS BETTER 

(IN CASE OF VECNA GO TO TRACKS 1, 8, AND 16) 

You had to write it like this didn't you? 

Of course I did. 

You like most of this music too!

Shhhh!

Why are you shushing me? We're literally just writing this track list. No one can hear us and I doubt the kids will take the time to read this when an emergency happens. 

I have a rep to protect Harrington!

Sweetheart, I'm pretty sure you lost that 'rep' when we got together. 

...No. 

Yes.

Well, you're playlist doesn't have any Joan Jett on it!

It does not. 

TRACK 9: Take On Me- A-Ha 

I mean I'll take you on if I have to. 

Oh, so you had to? 

Absolutely, I mean, look at you. Someone had to help. 

You are so mean to me. Why am I with you again? 

Because I actually adore you. 

We do have that in common.

TRACK 10: Dancing With Myself- Billy Idol 

Awe. It's alright Steve. I'll dance with you. 

Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but that still won't change the name of the song. 

TRACK 11: Sunglasses at Night- Corey Hart 

Dude. This is absolutely our song. 

Well, duh. You literally made us grab our sunglasses and sit in your truck just to listen to this song...at night. 

And you loved it! Admit it! 

Why do you think it's on the playlist, Meg? 

TRACK 12: What I Like About You- The Romantics 

What do you like about me? 

I'm honestly beginning to wonder that myself.

I thought I was supposed to be the mean one in this relationship. 

I can have layers too, Meg.

Touché. 

TRACK 13: Africa- Toto 

That song is catchy.

Yep. Wait. That's all you're going to say?

That's all there is to say Stevie. 

TRACK 14: I'm Still Standing- Elton John 

Not the Elton song I would have gone for, but it's okay. 

It's a great song. 

Whatever get's you through Vecna.

TRACK 15: Small Town- John Cougar Mellencamp

What? No snarky commentary?

This song speaks for itself, and it speaks for Steve Harrington. 

Sad, but true. 

TRACK 16: Everybody Wants To Rule The World- Tears for Fears 

Well isn't that the truth. Russians. Interdimensional Monsters. Appropriate song choice, Harrington. 

Thank you. We should totally dance to this. 

We should, but after the monsters.

After the monsters.
