I laugh, this speculation always annoys Tina.

<McCutcheon> Isn’t denial so cute?

<Helena P.> I agree.

<TK> Guys!

<T. Holopainen> So, Carmen & Bette, Dana & Alice, who else?

<Al Fairbanks> Those are the only couples. Lara & Hel should get together, tough.

<L. Perkins> I’m so not into Hel, she’s not my type.

<BP> What are u into, Lara?

<L. Perkins> The shy ones.

<McCutcheon> Dane is shy.

<Al Fairbanks> Hey, hands off!

<L. Perkins> Easy, Al, don’t worry.

<All Seth> Am I the only 1 who thinks Bette & Tina would look cute together?

<G. Wilson> Seth, they’re both taken. Especially Tina.

<CdlPM> Bette is very much taken as well, aren’t u, babe?

<BP> I am indeed.

<L. Perkins> I’ve been thinking about u, Hel.

<Al Fairbanks> I so told u u like her!

<L. Perkins> I don’t, not like that. I meant I was thinking about how she should change her name into Hellena.

<Helena P.> Very funny.

<T. Holopainen> Something happened guys (& girls)!

<Lee> Oh crap.

<G Wilson> What now.

<TK> Spare us, Tuomas.

<All Seth> Hey, what if it’s a good idea?

<BP> That’s not likely.

<T. Holopainen> Thx 4 the support & trust, I’m touched.

<All Seth> Spill it, Tuo.

<T. Holopainen> Maybe Carmen, Dana, Alice, Shane, Lara and Helena can come and watch us next practice? They can give us some tips, as outsiders.

<G Wilson> Sounds good 2 me.

<McCutcheon> Yeah, I can give u some guitar lessons *wink*

<CdlPM> I’d love 2.

<Al Fairbanks> I’m in.

<Dane Pieszecki> I’ll come with Al.

<Hellena P.> I’ll come with Lara.

<L. Perkins> Hey, u changed ur name already! I’ll come.

<G Wilson> Great, I’ll give u guys details later.

A smell of delicious cake reaches my nose.

<BP> I smell food & my fav show is about to start, I’m off! Bye.

<CdlPM> Bye, babe *kiss*

Everyone suddenly has to go off. It is a really good show after all. As I go downstairs, I smile at myself. Life is great. I have a bunch of totally awesome friends, a very hot, nice, warm, gentle and tender girlfriend, my dad has found himself a girlfriend who can bake and is cool, I’m in a band and I’ll get the chance to write some songs myself. My life is perfect. So why do I feel unsatisfied in a way?
