There had to be a reason why they weren't playing the song correctly- one that wasn't entirely her fault. They had been working on this set list for months, but for some reason they could never complete a rehearsal the way they wanted to. The deadline for their gig was coming up dangerously close, two weeks at that, and they still hadn't finished a single song. It was almost like there was something... missing? Obviously they had a good foundation: a vocalist, a lead guitarist, a bassist, and a percussionist... So what the hell were they missing? After a moment of intense pondering, and mindlessly strumming the strings on her guitar, it hit her. "Guys!" She shouted, voice booming over the sounds of arguing and sufficiently shutting everyone up. "I think I know what our problem is." She proclaimed, earning the undivided attention of her bandmates, curious eyes now glued to her. She raised a hand, slapping a poster against the wall, eyes following her movements as she did so. "What do all these bands have that we don't?" She asked, watching as the others glanced at each other, as if searching for the answer in their shared confusion. Priya looked up, her eyes brows knitted. "Original music?" "No... Well, yes. But, no." Mia sighed, letting her hand drag down from the wall. "It's like... this consistent thing in every single band. Kind of in the background, but still extremely noticeable if it's not there." She explained, hoping her bandmates would take the hint. Though she was only met with more silence, Mia could practically hear crickets chirping in the room. She pursed his lips, a deadpan look overtaking her expression before throwing her back with a loud groan. She put her hands on her hips, deciding to help her bandmates out and fill in the blanks.

When Priya loses a game of RummiKub to her housemates, her forfeit is to go on three blind dates of their choosing. But when the best thing about the first date is the waitress, Priya doesn't have high hopes for the remaining two. Or will the third time prove the charm? A loose, modern and queer tribute to Austen's classic "Emma", this funny tale of friendship and flirtation explores how we find feelings where we least expect them. And how sometimes you can't come out of the closet until you realise you are in it. +++ Replaying conversations with Kate in my head I could see how, even if she was as into me as Jenny assured me she was, she might be reticent about going out with a girl who wasn't out to her friends and family, or, worse, was merely bi-curious. I'd need to convince her this wasn't the case. If anything happened between us, we needed to be on an equal footing. No, it was my parents I needed to talk to. I loved them dearly, even if we didn't see eye to eye on some things. Would their disapproval put me off? I briefly entertained the fantasy of calling them up on speaker and coming out to them while Kate held my hand, perhaps in response to some comment from her that she couldn't date a girl in the closet, but then dismissed that as ridiculous grandstanding that could so easily backfire. Well, waiting wouldn't make it any easier. It was 5:30 pm on a Friday. Hopefully, they'd be home. Deep breath. Mum answered after the third ring. "Hi Mum." "Priya darling. How lovely. How are you? Let me call your dad. I'll put you on speaker." We chatted easily for a while, talking about work and my housemates. I realised I was stalling and needed to just, ah, come out with it. "Mum, Dad, I need to tell you both something." "Okay." "So, I made a new friend recently, her name is Kate, she's a researcher at the University and I really like her, and I think I might be falling in love with her."
