N woke up in a strange place. 

"I don't remember sleeping here." He said to no one in particular. 

The place was set up as a waiting room. N was sitting on a wooden, cushioned, grey chair. The room was white, and there was nothing to decorate it. There was a desk with no one behind it.Next to it were 2 halls. 1 to the left, and 1 to the right. There was a multitude of doors in each hall. 

"So, I guess I'll wait." He sat there. 

In about 5 seconds, he blinked, and gasped in shock. A random worker drone looking bot appeared behind the counter. 

"Who are you?! How'd you get here?! Where am I?! Wh-" 

"Let me stop you there." 

"Ok." 

"I have no name. I am the program that's here to represent feelings." 

"Oh...so you're not going to destroy my memories-" 

"No, feelings need memories in many situations." 

"Oh, so what's going to happen?" 

"You are having a difficult time in deciding your feelings for someone. I will take you down memory lane so you can make a decision." 

"Sure, I'm up for anything." 

"Good." 

... 

"So, where do we start?" 

"The past flame." 

Suddenly, a sign appeared that read 'V'. They started to walk down. 

"So what are all these doors?" 

"These are all the memories you have of V. We are only concerned about the ones where feelings are present." 

"Ok." 

They stopped at a door. The program opened the door. 

Inside was where sparks flew. N and V walked into each other. Glasses fell, and while picking them up, V and N touched hands. A spark appeared, and they backed off. J ruined the moment. 

"This is where the crush began." 

The door then closed. They began walking again. The next door opened. 

Inside, V was reading a book about dogs. She seemed to enjoy them. N was watching from afar. He seemed happy. 

"This was the start to the obsesion." 

They walked to another door. 

This had the two walking down a hall together. They were holding glasses and plates. After dropping them off, she fell and N caught her. 

"This w-" 

"This was-the-the-the last time before Cyn attacked!" 

"Correct." 

They then went to one more door. Inside was their current state. They had just killed a worker, and V let N have some of the oil instead of taking it all for herself. 

"This was the last 'good' memory for you." 

... 

They then went to the other hall. 

"What's this one called?" 

"The new flame." 

Like before, a sign appeared. Only this time, it read 'Uzi'. 

"Uzi!??!?" 

"Yes." 

"What are you talking about?! We're just friends!" 

"That's what your mind tells you, but not what your...feelings tell you." 

They then walked down the hall. They approached their first door. 

Inside, was N feeling down after battling the J monster thing. He was rolled up in a ball, just facing a wall.

"You barely knew her, and yet, you felt this much emotion when you were apart." 

The next door wasn't that far away. 

This time, it was back to prom night. They watched from the reunion, all the way to the discovery at Doll's place. 

"This was when you started to slightly realize you felt differently." 

The next door involved the camp. The whole therapy session in the sky revealed a lot. 

"This was a big one, but this last one is bigger than you think." 

Their last door was the very next one. They were all on a bus ride back home. Uzi had a burning hand, but N took it away from the sunlight. In doing so, Uzi started to hold it, but N let go. 

"See, I let go because I-" 

"You let go because of overwhelming feelings and the zombie drones tape." 

N was about to say something, but the program shushed him. 

... 

"Do you know how you feel?" 

"Not really." 

"I figured. Well let me tell you what I discovered." 

"Alright." 

"You have feelings for both, but one is extremely weak. This is because of it was in the past and many things have changed. Only in certain circumstances would it not become weak. The other, is newer, but also is more potent. You are feeling strange because you haven't felt this way for a really long time, and you aren't sure if you should continue it or not. You may do what you want with this information." 

And just like that, N awoke. 

... 

"Hey Uzi, you got a second?" N went to Uzi's place. 

"Uh sure." She let him inside her room. 

The two were alone. Khan was gone for the time being, so it really was just them. 

"So, what do-" 

"I think I like you." N just spat out. 

"You what?" 

"I think I like you...you know what, nevermind, this was stupid, I'll go and-" 

"Wait N!" 

"Yeah?" 

"I think I like you...too." There was a slight blush on both of them. 

"So...what should we do now?" 

"Maybe, this." 

She held his hand 

"Baby steps." Uzi smirked. 

"I like that." N smirked back. 

... 

Outside, some worker drones stumbled upon some fireworks. They decided to light them, and as soon as they did...N admitted to Uzi.
