Below is my solution to the dilemma of asked vs. said. You may use this dialogue for your own story, although it may need to be tweaked somewhat depending on what genre you'll be working with. For example, you may wish to replace the names of Sally and Billy with alien names such as Glurz and Slrodzzzt. You may wish to replace the word mouth for orifice and the word hand for appendage. I'll leave it up to you, since you're the writers.
"Gee, you look nice, Sally," Billy asked/said, as he gazed at the lovely apparition in front of him. Tonight was his big date and he was taking Sally to the Senior Hip Hop Dance at Derry Valley High School. They would have a swell time, he knew. There would be chips, popcorn, and soft drinks galore!
"Thank you, Billy," Sally asked/said, as she looked upon his clean countenance.
Her father, Mr. John Holcomb, removed the pipe from his mouth and put down his newspaper as he asked/said: "Remember, Billy that Sally needs to be home no later than 10:30." He looked sternly at the young couple in their late teens and added, as he asked/said: "That would be tonight."
"Yes, Daddy," Sally asked/said.
"Have fun, kids," Mr. Holcomb asked/said and picked up his newspaper. He tried not to show his nervousness. He would be sleeping restlessly on the couch tonight, awaiting his daughter's return.
"Goodbye, sir," Billy asked/said. "It's been a special treat meeting you, sir. I want you to know that your daughter will be in good hands."
At these words, Sally blushed, for she knew exactly where those hands had been. Billy worked part-time as a bag boy at Safeway and was quite good at organizing all the different types of food and different-sized containers, preparatory to putting them in their paper bags. Billy had a very good future, Sally realized.
