“Yeah. What for?”
“How much?”
“About 1,000 yen. Why?”
Murdoc thought for a minute. “Good enough.” he said at last. Dolly was
confused. “Okay Murds! What is this all about? What’s with the money?”
she snapped. Murdoc grinned. “Want more, love?” he asked. Dolly quickly
caught on. “Oh. A bet. Off of what and how much?” she asked. *Sweat
drop
on Murdy’s head* “Uh….” he said. He hadn’t planned that far. Dolly
grinned.
“I’ve got one.” she said. “What?” he asked. “Come with me.” said his
lady.
Then Dolly leapt up to her feet. Murdoc followed.
“So what’s the bet?” the bassist asked. Dolly turned to him. She
grinned.
“I’m betting on couples.” said she. Murdoc was silent. “Couples?” he
asked
at last. “I didn’t stutter.” Dolly replied. Murds was uneasy. “What’s
wrong?
Scared to lose?” Dolly teased. “No! How much are you betting?!?” Murdoc
snapped. “Fifty pounds.” Dolly answered. Murds couldn’t believe his
ears.
“You’re joking right?” he asked. His lady shook her head. Murdoc
grinned.
“You’re going to lose!” said he. “We’ll see.” said Dolly. And so, the
betting
started.
