Parts 36 and 37
__________PART 36__________
*The couple is in the middle of an argument.*
Salem: I don’t even know why I try!
Trillion: Well, me either.
Jun: *enters, and awkwardly says hello.* Hey Trill!
Salem: *She scoffs at Jun calling Trillion “Trill,” a name only she was previously allowed to call her.* Yeah, well, I’ll just leave you alone, TRILL, with your new best friend over here.
*Salem Leaves*
Jun: Uh oh. What did I do?
Trillion: *mumbles* Absolutely nothing.
Jun: I’m sorry you guys aren’t getting along. *He gives her a hug*
Trillion: *Smiles* Thanks, Jun.
Trillion: So how’s the Serenity situation?
Jun: She wont talk to me, which is okay. But I can’t get a hold of Zuri, either.
Trillion: Has she gone back to London, maybe?
Jun: No, Noriko said she heard she was staying a while longer… I was hoping it was for me.
Trillion: You know, I was thinking…
Trillion: You’re in love with Zuri, even after all this time. But her and Rain are so much alike; I think you thought Rain could take Zuri’s place…
Jun: And it all came back to me when I saw Rain again after coming back here…
Trillion: Exactly! And when you couldn’t have Zuri OR Rain, I think that’s when you fell for Rain’s sister….
Jun: *sighs*… You must be right. I wish I was as smart as you, Trill.
Trillion: Don’t beat yourself up, Jun. You deserve someone better then all three of those girls.

__________PART 37__________
Salem: *Visibly upset* Thanks for letting me come here, Zuri…
Zuri: Its no problem… tell me what’s wrong.
Salem: It’s just… my girlfriend. Its like she doesn’t want me around. She’s hiding something and every time I ask she gets angry.
Zuri: That’s not fair at all.
Salem: I think she has someone else...
Zuri: Let’s go out tonight.
Salem: What?
Zuri: We’ll have fun. We’ll doll you all up, and let your girlfriend see what she’s missing.
__________an hour later__________
Zuri: See, I told you you’d look good with your hair long!
Salem: You really think so?
Zuri: I know so.
Zuri: You’re girlfriend will take one look at you like this, and come crawling back.
Salem: *giggles* Well, maybe…
Zuri: *whispers* You look beautiful, Salem…
__________At the Sushi Bar__________
*They’ve entered the Sushi Bar, where Trillion and Rain are both getting ready for the night’s customers. Trillion is dead silent.*
Rain: Hey Zuri!
Zuri: Hey Rain! We’re just looking for Salem’s guitar. She promised she’d play for me.
Salem: *quietly* Oh! Here it is! I knew I’d left it here somewhere…
Rain: Oh good, we need some entertainment! And Salem, your hair looks amazing!
Trillion: ……
Zuri: *gets comfortable* C’mon, Salem. Play me something wonderful.
Salem: *shyly begins to play*
Trillion: *glares at Salem and Zuri, obviously bothered by the two of them together, remembering what Zuri did to Jun.*
Salem: *plays her music faster, less shy.*
Salem: *Begins singing along.*
Zuri: Oh, your voice is beautiful!
Salem: *laughs * Thanks. Can we take this to the park, play some music there? *she smiles, happier then she’s been in a long time.*
Trillion: Hmph.
