Rani's house

Two brown teen lions were just chilling in the living room minding their own business.

Baliyo: "Hey, Rani?"

Rani: "Yeah?"

Baliyo: "Do you know what is the third wheel?"

Rani: "A third wheel is someone unnecessary to a group and is tagging along. In this case, the group usually consists of a couple and a third, superfluous person. Whether you are dating or married, sometimes you can be made to feel like a third wheel in your relationship."

Rani explains everything she knows about the third wheel to Baliyo.

Baliyo: "Owh, being the third wheel sure it sucks. It makes you feel you're an idiot person that just follows them from behind."

Rani: "It sucks being the third wheel, especially on Valentine's day."

Baliyo: "It sure is, what time is it right now?"

Rani look's at the clock wall.

Rani: "Well, it's around 8:15 pm now."

Baliyo: "Okay."

The two teen lions continued their own business, she wondered why Baliyo would ask this type of question.

Rani: "Why are you asking this kind of question?"

Baliyo: "Well, uh....."

Rani raised her eyebrow and Baliyo hesitated to speak, he was kind of embarrassed to tell her what happened to him on valentine's day.

Rani: "Have you been on a third wheel before?"

Baliyo: "Uhh.....well, uhh."

Rani: "Come on Baliyo, you can tell me."

Baliyo: "Ugh, fine. I've been on a third wheel before."

He finally admits that Baliyo has been on a third wheel before.

Rani: "Haa! I knew it! Now I know why you asking this type of question." She smirks at him.

Baliyo: "A fifth wheel. Not a third wheel."

Rani: "Oh gosh, being a fifth wheel is way worse than being a third wheel."

Baliyo: "Yeah, it does."

Rani: "Can you tell me the story?"

Baliyo: "Well, it goes like this."

Flashback

On Valentine's day, Baliyo was planning to hang out at his friend's house. He's outside of his friend's house, Rahisi

Baliyo: "Hey, yo! Rahisi, I'm outside, man."

Rahisi: "Yo! Come on in, the doors are open.

Baliyo: "Alright, cool."

He opens the door and walked inside the house.

Baliyo: "Alright, alright, alright. What's...." He stopped his words and didn't finish the sentence.

He saw Rahisi sitting with his girlfriend, Kike. He looked to his right and saw Kiume sitting with his girlfriend, Aina.

Baliyo: "Huh?"

Rahisi: "You and I will always be together, Kike."

Kike: "Aww, I love you so much."

Baliyo looked to his right.
