25th November 2014

Matt: Morning, beautiful.

Anah: Hey, good news!

Matt: Well, I have some bad news.

Anah: Ok... well yours trumps mine, so you can go first.

Matt: Well, you know Winter Ball?

Anah: Did you flunk your test? Did your Mom ground you? Is this you standing me up?

Matt: I did not flunk my test. I am not grounded. I am not standing you up.

Anah: So where's the bad news?

Matt: The hotel where the Ball was meant to be held- you know it?

Anah: The Amberlin?

Matt: Yep... did you hear what happened there?

Anah: No.

Matt: No? The whole school is buzzing about it.

Anah: I'm not in school.

Matt: You're not?

Anah: Nope. I'm at the doctor.

Matt: Are you ok? What's wrong? What happened?

Anah: I'm fine. I'm here with Haley.

Matt: What's wrong with Haley?

Anah: Full disclosure?

Matt: I'm not gonna force you to tell me...

Anah: Haley's pregnant.

Matt: Oh... uh... congratulations?

Anah: Comiserations.

Matt: That sucks.

Anah: Yep. Lots of tears my end.

Matt: I can bet. Is she gonna be ok?

Anah: I don't know... I hope so.

Matt: Well, she has you so it can't be that bad.

Anah: She has me, yeah. But I think it's Ben she wants more.

Matt: And where is he?

Anah: Not where he should be.

Matt: *hugs*

Anah: Thanks. So, what happened at The Amberlin?

Matt: Oh, right. Burst water pipe flooded the ballroom.

Anah: What does that mean for the Ball?

Matt: Well, Winter Ball isn't gonna be at The Amberlin.

Anah: So, where is it?

Anah: Oh, my God! Have they cancelled it?

Matt: The committee is looking for a new venue.

Anah: Is there anywhere available?

Matt: This close to Christmas? I doubt it.

Anah: Please don't tell me that the school gym isn't being considered!

Matt: Rachel Flack did mention something about the gym, yeah.

Anah: No! No... no... no... no... NO!

Matt: Is that a no?

Anah: That was my polite version of HELL NO!

Matt: Well, Eden is on the hunt for a new venue...

Anah: Don't let her decide! She'll have us all at The Potter's Wheel.

Matt: The Potter's Wheel isn't that bad.

Anah: The floor is all icky and my shoes get glued to the floor as soon as I get through the door.

Matt: Yeah, The Potter's Wheel is quite bad.

Anah: Quite? That's an understatement.

Matt: Haha. True.

Matt: Hey... what was your news? You said it was good so I'm guessing it wasn't the fact that Haley is pregnant.

Anah: Oh, right. That.

Anah: *smirks* Guess who has a date tonight?

Matt: If you're smirking, then that means you're gonna be smug about it. But, I'll play into your game.

Matt: Maggie and Sutter?

Anah: Yep!

Anah: They're going on a double date with Eden and Jake.

Matt: What happened to the quadruple date?

Anah: Well, for obvious reasons Haley and Ben aren't gonna want to go. And I'd rather not have to share a dinner with Brenton, so this works out quite well.

Matt: Do Eden and Maggie even get along? I thought Maggie was your friend not Eden's.

Anah: They get along well enough. Anyway, Jake and Sutter are friends enough for the four of them.

Matt: You better hope so.

Anah: It'll be fine.

Matt: Well, you obviously know them better than I do, so I'll just have to trust you on this.

Anah: I am a matchmaking genius.

Matt: Of course you are, Babe.

Anah: Because that's not patronizing.

Anah: Hey, Matt?

Anah: I have to go. Haley needs me.

Matt: Then you better go.

Matt: I love you, Penguin. A lottle.

Anah: I love you too, Honey Bun. A lottle, a lottle.

Matt: You know it.

Anah: Dork.
