Chapter ten: A Little Love Story (Side Story in a Sense):
    2-D awoke the next morning to find Reese wasn’t in bed with him. Instead, he found a note on the dresser. This is what it said:
    Dear Sweetie:
    Took Trevor and cousins to the beach. Be back this evening. Love ya!
Reese

    So D had the place to himself. But what to do now?
    2-D played on the piano a bit, ate, smoked some, and went back to bed. As soon as he fell asleep, the lead singer began to dream.
    *:*Dream Begins*:*
    2-D awoke on a beach. He was soaking wet. “What’s going on here?” he thought. Then a notion hit 2-D. He rushed over to the water. A young boy was staring back at him. “I’m……I’m…… I’m a boy!!!” D thought. Then, he heard giggling. Young D looked up and saw two girls walking towards him. One was a brunette dressed in a white bikini and the other was a blonde in a pink bikini. The boy couldn’t help staring. Suddenly, the girls stopped. Apparently, they saw him, for they were whispering and giggling. “What are they saying?” Stu-Pot thought.
    Finally, the blonde girl approached him. D became tense. “Hi.” said the girl. The boy blushed. “Uh…hi.” Stu-Pot said at last. Silence came and went between them. “I’m Reese! What’s your name?” the girl asked. “Stu-Pot.” the boy answered. Reese giggled. “What’s so funny?” Stu asked. The girl stopped giggling and looked at him. “You have a funny name.” she answered. Stu-Pot just blushed.
    The three of them walked along the beach and talked. The brunette had to leave early. Reese began to titter when her friend was gone. Stu-Pot froze. “What’s so funny now?” asked he. “You and I, all alone together!” Reese said sweetly. The boy was slow to catch on. Then he said: “You…. and….. I….alone…. together?” Reese nodded. Stu-Pot grew red. The girl giggled.
    The two spent the day in the city. Reese and Stu-Pot talked a lot. They had a hot dog for lunch. Stu was falling in love with his new friend. At the end, Reese kissed him on the lips. The boy thought he was going to explode.
    *:*Dream Ends*:*
    “2-D.” The lead singer awoke to see his angel huddled over him. Only, she wasn’t a girl in a pink bikini. She was a woman in a black tankini. “So…” Reese began. “How was your day?” D’s thin lips curved into a smile. “Fine love, just fine.”
