(Shilo)

What is wrong with me?!

"Well for one, you seem to be yelling at yourself." I suddenly hear someone say. I turn and see  Violet. Paseris was standing right next to her. I hadn't realized I said it out loud.

"Oh, you heard that." I say.

"It's all right." Violet says as she leaves.

"Oh. Wait, Violet." I say.

"Hm?" Violet says.

"Rose was able to contact Louie. I didn't know if you wanted to talk to her about it or something." I inform her.

"Thanks, Shilo." Violet says as she nods. She then walks away to Rose.

"So, Rose huh?" Paseris says.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Nothing... just that she's what's wrong with you." Pas says.

"No, she's not. I just like her as a friend." I say in defense.

"Sure." Pas says with disbelief.

"Plus she has Louie, who she loves." I say.

"Dude." He says with pity in his voice.

"What? She's happy, and that's all I want from her." I say.

"What about your happiness?" Paseris asks.

"Well, as the friend that I am, her happiness is mine." I said emphasizing the friend part.

"Okay if you say so. Now, do you want to go play a video game." Pas suggests.

"Yes, very much." I say.

(Rose)

After Shilo left I made myself a tea and just sat down thinking. Why did I tell Louie I love him? He didn't say it back. Maybe I said it too soon, but at least he cares about me. I sip my tea.

"Hey, Rose." Violet says.

"Hey." I say.

"So I heard you talked to Louie?" Violet says.

"Yeah. He's not coming too soon. I'm going to need that contingency plan." I say.

"Aww, sorry about Louie." She says.

"It's fine. Just tell me this contingency plan." I say.

"Okay, so I was thinking what if we get someone to pretend to be Louie?" She says.

"Isn't that illegal." I say.

"Is what illegal?" Sky asks as she walks in.

"Violet thinks we should get someone to pretend to be Louie." I explain.

"Okay it may possibly be illegal, but don't you guys have to go through those sessions in order to get married?" Violet asks.

"That is what I was told." I say.

"It's up to you. I mean how badly do you want to marry Louie?" Sky says.

"Very much." I say.

"Hmmmm." Sky says.

"Now the real problem here is getting someone to be Louie." Violet says.

"I guess we could hire someone." Sky says.

"No, I rather have someone I know. I don't want to be hanging around with a total stranger." I explain.

"Paseris?" Sky says.

"No, he's too well known." Violet says.

"And he's your boyfriend." I say.

"That too." Violet says.
