Twenty-Fourth Chord.

You know, January's almost over, and February's coming up. Guess that means Valentine's Day is coming up. And, you know, if anyone's having a party or if there's gonna be a dance, I might know where you can get a band.

Join my band so we can finally put an end to this nightmare. It's actually got members! Sort of. Our first meeting was... inconclusive. How come you didn't show up?

[fullnamebasis]

You know, I had intentions and everything..

[instantdrama]

Buuuut?

[fullnamebasis]

I have this thing where if I get really nervous, I get sick..

[instantdrama]

...You were nervous? About coming to my band meeting?

[fullnamebasis]

Don't sound so surprised. I didn't think it was going to be a legit band meeting.

[instantdrama]

Ouch.

[fullnamebasis]

No, I mean.. I've been trying for a year to set up a band meeting, and you've seen how that went.

[instantdrama]

Yeah...

And the fact that you could've been leaving me sitting alone in an empty room kinda sucks.

[fullnamebasis]

But I didn't?

[instantdrama]

In your mind, you pretty much were, if you didn't think my meeting would actually be a real thing.

[fullnamebasis]

...


I'm sorry isn't an option, is it?

[instantdrama]

[Hmm. Let's think about that for a moment.]

I guess it depends on what you're willing to do to make up for it.

[As if she could stay mad at you.]

[fullnamebasis]

What am I limited to?

[instantdrama]

Do I need to set a limit? I would hope you'd have good enough judgment not to screw it up.

[fullnamebasis]

Well, I just wanna know if I over-step my bounds. What works for someone else might not work for you.

[instantdrama]

I'm not sure I like what you might be implying, Stephen.

I didn't know you were that kinda guy...

[fullnamebasis]

With the girls I'm used to, "I'm sorry" is more than just words...

[instantdrama]

Well I'm not that kind of girl, but it's nice to know what kind of person you're actually into.

[And it's apparently not the kind of person she is.]

You know what? Forget it, I forgive you.

[fullnamebasis]

No. Now I wanna make it up to you.

[instantdrama]

Why does it matter so much to you all of a sudden?

[fullnamebasis]

You might just be doing that thing where you say you forgive me, but you're actually still mad at me.

[instantdrama]

Let me guess, that's another thing that the girls you're used to do?

[fullnamebasis]

Only one of them.


No... All of them.

[instantdrama]

Then you apparently haven't paid enough attention, or you'd have realized that I'm not like that.

[fullnamebasis]

... You're right. Guess I just hung out with all the wrong girls before.

[instantdrama]

Yeah, apparently so. But you know, whatever floats your boat.

[fullnamebasis]

Look. How about next Hogsmeade trip, we hang out.

[instantdrama]

If you're still trying to make up for anything, you can stop. I told you that I forgive you.

[fullnamebasis]

Okay, okay. I'll stop.



We can still hang out though, right?

[instantdrama]

You make it really hard to say no, when you're so persistent.

Fine, yeah, we can go together if it means that much to you.

[As if she could actually say no you big puppy.]
