"The Cool Kids Writing Club" Weekly Submission - The Phrase: The Love Muscle is Open For Business

This reminds me of one of those bad jokes about three *somethings* walking into a bar. "A scallop, seahorse, and shrimp walk into a bar…the scallop says, 'Hey ladies, the love muscle is open for business!' A girl throws her drink at him and says, 'Clam up!'" Hardy Har Har.

But here is my "real" submission:

Mollusks Have Needs Too

Scallop says to Seahorse, "I wish I had a girlfriend to kiss."
Seahorse says to no one in particular, "I love my girlfriend."
Shrimp says to Seahorse, "You made up your girlfriend."
Seahorse says to no one in particular, "I kiss her face."
Shrimp says to Scallop, "We can do something about this."
Scallop says to Shrimp, "But what."
Seahorse says, "I am hungry."
Shrimp says, "There must be something we can do."
Scallop says, "Ah, but what can we do except wait for someone to float along."
Seahorse says, "Anyone want to go to a movie?"
Shrimp says, "I’ve got this friend."
Scallop says, "Noooo, please don’t set me up, I’d rather be alone on Valentine’s Day than set up! How humiliating."
Seahorse opens his mouth to talk but is interrup-Shrimp says, "Don’t be ludicrous! I am not going to set you up!"
Scallop says, "Then what?"
Seahorse wanders off to find a captive audience, or some food. Or a koala bear.
Shrimp says, "My friend has this service."
Scallop says, "A service?"
Shrimp says, "Yeah, a business."
Scallop says, "What kind of business?"
Shrimp says, "Well it’s sort of a dating thing."
Scallop, "A dating thing? What kind of thing?"
Shrimp, "Well just come with me."
Scallop, "This sounds fishy to me. No pun intended."
Shrimp, "Well it is. But I mean what have ya got to lose?"
Scallop, "What about you? You don’t have a girlfriend!"
Shrimp, "Who are we talking about here?! You, or me!?"
Scallop, "I’m just saying."
Shrimp, "Anyway."
Scallop, "Fine. What is this business? Who is your friend?"
Shrimp, "Follow me."
Seahorse, "Hey guys! Over here!"
Scallop, "So…the other way then?"
Shrimp, "Here, it’s this way, and you are gonna love it."
After rounding some corral reef…
Scallop shouts, "YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME."
Shrimp, bewildered, "What!?"
Scallop, incredulous, "That’s the worst pun I have ever seen"
Shrimp, annoyed, "What is it with you and puns today?"
Scallop, equally annoyed, "I cannot believe you thought this would be a good idea!"
Shrimp, impatiently, "Just go in."
Scallop, in disbelief, "The Love Muscle!? How can I go into a place called The Love Muscle!??!"
Shrimp shrugs, "What? The Love Muscle is open for business. It’s worth a shot."
Scallop, dejectedly, "This is the worst Valentine’s Day of my life."
Shrimp, amused, "It’ll be cute to tell your grandkids you met at a place called The Love Muscle."
Scallop, not amused, "Har har. Why are we friends again?"
Shrimp, so over this conversation, "Yeah. I’m gonna go find Seahorse. But you have fun in there."
