"Oh stop it, just because you've been discovered doesn't mean the media is going to attack and hound you yet!" Darcy giggled filming her boyfriend of 3 years, opening the present she bought for him. It had taken her several weeks worth of tips to be able to buy the gift, but it would be worth it. She knew it would, just to see his child-like expression, as if it was Christmas

"Fine. Fine. Fine. Film me and sell it on eBay why don't you? I'm sure the media would love it." He teased her and picked up the overly large box, he shook it slightly

"Don't! You'll break it!" She grabbed his hand, "I want you to love it and you can't love it, if it's broken!"

He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "I would never and even if it is broken, I'll still love it. Because it's from you." Pulling off the rest of the wrapping paper and the bow, he gasped.

"So Al? Do you like it?" Darcy asked nervously, lowering the camera slightly

"Dar... I don't like it." Alan sighed and Darcy frowned and got quiet, she had saved up for that guitar. Now he hated it. "I love it."

Darcy smiled and gave him a huge hug. She knew it would be perfect.

"Hey." Reed knew right away who it was from her soft milky voice, Lola.

"Hey right back at you, babe." Reed shifted the phone to his other ear and picked up the book he was reading for his sister's book group

"How's the dry horrible book?" Lola purred, "I don't see how your sister convinced you to join her book group."

"It was either the book group or she joins my band. And you know how exclusive it is."

"Ah. Yes. Very exclusive. Your band is so close to being discovered. So close to being like Queen or Led Zeppelin."

One reason why Reed loved Lola, her taste in music.

"Too bad originality isn't smiled upon now adays."

"You're making it sound as if you're 54." Lola pointed out getting Reed to smile

"I know I know. But it's true. All songs are now about sex, drugs, swearing, profanity, and alcohol."

"I know. It's terrible isn't it."

"You should be an actress or narrate books." Reed sighed and put the book down, he couldn't read listening to Lola's beautiful voice

Lola laughed sounding like sparkling wind chimes, "You like my voice that much?"

"Yes. I do. It's one of my favorite things about you."
