Narrator:

Marco sighed as he chased after Francesca.

Once the two exited Marco's home, Francesca dashed over to a bench, sitting down on it.

"Fran, just let me explain!" Marco shouted as he ran over to her.

"Explain what? That you were cheating on me-- W-With Diego?" Francesca shouted back.

"No, it wasn't like that! Trust me, it really wasn't. Me and Diego--" Francesca cut her boyfriend off.

"And don't you tell me that you were 'just experimenting' because i know damn well--" This time, Francesca was cut off herself.

"We weren't. Diego slept over because his parents didn't know that he went out. And, when you walked in, we were just talking," Marco explained.

"So, there was nothing going on between you two?" Francesca asked.

"No, that's what i've been telling you. And, actually, why were in my house?" Marco asked.

"You weren't at the Studio and i was worried so i came to check up on you," Francesca clarified.

"Well, in that case, why don't you go back to the Studio? I wasn't planning on going anyway," Marco said.

"Alright. So, i'll see you later?" Francesca asked.

"I'll see you later," Marco assured, smiling, as both shared a hug before Francesca went back to the Studio.

Once Francesca was out of sight, Marco started wondering where Diego could be.

Could he still be at Marco's own house? No, he probably already left.

Maybe he went over to his house? No, his mother was away, preventing him from getting in.

Then, there was only one place left...

Marco went over to it, as quickly as he was able to.

Sitting on Gregorio's porch, was Diego.

Marco walked over to him, sitting down next to him.

"Hey...What's up?" Marco asked.

"What did you tell her?" Diego asked,  ignoring Marco's question.

"Fran? Nothing important. But, can you tell me why we're sitting here again?" Marco chuckled.

"Dad's at the Studio, so everything's locked up," Diego explained.

"But, tell me honestly, what did you say to Fran?" Diego asked.

"Nothing, don't worry," Marco said.

"Alright..." Diego mumbled, looking down.

"Come on, don't look down. There's a whole world up here, you know?" Marco joked, not getting a response from his best friend.

"Diego, you know that i hate seeing you sad. Plus, the fact that Fran was sad made both of my favorite people sad, which makes me sad," Marco said, putting a hand on Diego's shoulder.

"So, we're your two favorite people?" Diego asked.

"Yeah, you know, my girlfriend and my best friend who's secretly crushing on me," Marco said, unable to keep a straight face.
