"She's a mystery, but allow me to uncomplicate her for you. She isn't impressed by material things. She's a romantic; all she wants is love, conversation, and wine."

"This is street radio, keeping you, you dancing in the street! And if you like what you've heard so far, then come and sign the petition which says: 'We, the undersigned, would like Campbell Bain and Ready Eddie McKenna to be given their own show on local radio', and make us the first DJs in radio history to go professional by popular demand!"

The crowd applauded and Campbell played Do Ya Think I'm Sexy. "Here's an anonymous dedication to Debbie, who works in the travel center just across from us, from," He started talking in the husky "dead smoochy" voice again, "a secret admirer who could show you what love is, yeah!" Then there was a slight pause before Campbell pointed, "Well, all right, Debbie, it's that wee baldy guy in the blue anorak."

The audience laughed at his humor as he took Y/N's hands and eased her into a dance, making his hair flop about before a police officer came up, turning off the boombox, making the audience boo.

"Right, party's over. You're busking without a permit and ye's have got one minute to clear off."

Campbell, even though he had a microphone and was face-to-face with the officer, he still shouted into the microphone, "A PERMIT?! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT," He had gestured to the cop and then himself before turning to the audience, "WE NEED A PERMIT TO DANCE?!"

"NO!" The crowd shouted.

"DO WE NEED A PERMIT TO BOOGIE?!" Campbell shouted as the cop walked off, annoyed and Y/N and Fergus exchanged looks.

"NO!"

"WE ARE HERE TO BOOGIE AND WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED!" Campbell enthusiastically pumped his fist over his head, triumphantly.

The crowd cheered and applauded as Y/N thought she spotted someone taking pictures... but they seemed to be focused only on her, if she moved away from Campbell and Fergus, the camera followed only her. It wasn't the kind that the press used being something like a Nikon model camera but more of a Canon model. She got distracted when Fergus hissed at Campbell, "What are you doing?" Fergus asked.

"I told you it would work! We've got a genuine incident going here!" Campbell said, excitedly, making Y/N look at him and then said in an excited singsong voice, "We are gonna be in the papers!"

Y/N joined them, poking her head around Fergus, "We're gonna be in jail, Campbell."

There were police sirens wailing as more police officer came running up.

"...Yeah, we'll just merge quietly into the crowd and then leg it." Campbell said and they grabbed their stuff and ran off, pushing through the crowd and Rosalie followed them, and it quickly became obvious where they were to the police.

Y/N ran past the guy still taking pictures and she got a sense of familiarity, so she stopped and looked at him but he ran off to a distance before taking more pictures of her before Campbell came back, grabbing her hand and pulling her.

"COME ON!"

Fergus, Campbell, and Y/N climbed over a sort barricade of junk. Y/N walked backwards to see the guy still taking pictures before she accidently stepped off the side of the junk and hit the ground with a yelp. Campbell went to her as Fergus held out a hand for Rosalie but she declined, despite wearing gloves and climbed over herself as Campbell helped Y/N up, a great constrast from when they first met just months ago.
