"Hey girls!" Arion met Eternia and Tamara with a charming smile, just as everyone was used from him.
"Oh, hi, Arion!" Eternia was delighted to see the singer. "What a nice surprise this late in the evening! You want to check in already?"
"Yes, it's about time. I can think of other fish to fry but it can't be helped..."
"Other fish to fry? Were you busy recording a new album?" the blonde asked excitedly, but Arion just winked at her and said: "No, but we could have gone on a date instead."
"Well, if that's true I can take the evening off..." Eternia began but was sadly interrupted by Brian's arrival.
"Hello, everyone." The guitarist looked slightly confused. He carried two pink microphones in his hand which he held slightly away from himself - as if he was afraid to get bitten by them.
"Hey, Brian", Arion greeted casually. "What's up with you?"
"Err... about the date..." Eternia began but didn't get noticed since everyone now looked at Brian.
The musician bit his lip. "That's a really weird story! I found this pink micro on the kitchen table at home and thought Pink-Chan had forgotten it. So I wanted to have it stored for her."
"Uh-huh. 'Stolen', eh?" Tamara murmured so softly that nobody heard it. She had expected this.
Brian continued: "No clue how it happened, but it slipped my hand and fell and suddenly... there were two of them!"
"Eh, what?" Arion dug deeper in disbelief.
"Not joking! There was a noise kind of like a xylophone and suddenly there were two micros!"
"Okay, just hand them over to me. I know about things like this", Eternia tried to encourage him.
The man gave her Pink-Chan's secret weapon and said insistently: "But keep a good look at it, will you? P-Chan will bite my head off if this gets lost, and who knows if it will double again when it gets shaken even more."
"Don't worry, I'll be cautious." Eternia assured him with a mean grin. She would be able to rub this in with Pink-Chan for months.
"Damn, Brian, don't let the shortie terrorize you all the time!" Arion was unnerved. "It was her who forgot the micro! So she's no right to complain if it gets lost now!"
"Duh, you know how she is..."
"Yes, she's a psycho. She's 15 already, isn't there a country where she can legally marry? Exchange her for a cow or something. Or better yet, exchange her with a cow on top, then you'll get rid of her for sure!"
"Arion! I can't force my little sister into marriage!"
"But you should! Did you know that she demands to sing a duet with me on our next album?!"
"Would that be sooooo bad?" Brian asked cautiously.
"What?! Did you ever hear her sing?!"
"She's still got time to exercise..."
Arion lost it. "Then certainly you haven't seen the song yet that she wrote for that! I absolutely refuse to sing a love song with a 15 year old! What would my fans think of me?!"
"Criminy! Is she crazy about you again?" Brian sighed and grimaced. "All right, I'll talk to her about it. Somehow..."
The singer turned back to Eternia for a second. "Hey, I'm sorry, seems like I have to clarify some things with Brian. But after the move, us two, a nice pizzeria and cinema. Deal?"
When he winked at her again Eternia giggled. "Okay, I will remind you!"
Tamara just sighed silently.
