[Kendrix is sitting in her quarters, a pile of dishes behind her in the sink, and she looks upset.]

I know how much I sound like a jilted girlfriend right now, but my best friend just dropped me for her old best friend, and I'm stuck cleaning up the dinner they never ate. Something about the whole situation rubs me the wrong way, but maybe that's just me feeling dumped.

So if I'm going to indulge in self-pity, any music recommendations for a broken heart? I've already got N'SYNC and the Backstreet Boys. ['90s, yay]

I dunno bout the jilted girlfriend part but there is one singer around my time in America that is basically the Queen of Breakup Songs. Here, have some breakup music.

She's got an entire library of this stuff.

[powerofpink]

[click. Pause.]

This can't be a real song. It's a parody, right?

[wildmelody]

Nope, it's a real thing. Taylor Swift makes a living on this kind of stuff. Almost every song she's ever made is some kind of breakup song.

[powerofpink]

She's a good singer, but wow.

[wildmelody]

Yeah. She's made breakup songs a thing really. Can't really call it an artform but hey...

[powerofpink]

Well, some of them do fit how I'm feeling right now. Not that I ever want to get into that kind of fight with Maya again.

[wildmelody]

Trust me, I'm totally into the whole breakup song thing. I listened to them constantly when I was fighting with Kanade.

[powerofpink]

It was that bad, huh?

[wildmelody]

I sometimes spent days moping because of it.

[powerofpink]

At least things are better now.

[wildmelody]

That's true. I'm pretty much better now with Kanade and I on speaking terms now.

[powerofpink]

I'm glad everything worked out for you.

[wildmelody]

Thanks. I really hope there's not any other problems later on too.

[trustmybase]

Forget the music. Bad movies. Sometimes icecream. It always works for me.

[powerofpink]

I've got the ice cream. Any suggestions for movies?

[trustmybase]

Depends on the movies you like.

There's also plan B. Go out of have some fun instead.

[powerofpink]

Well, I stand a really good chance of running into them. And I really don't want to end up using work as an excuse to keep away.

[trustmybase]

Small town, huh?

You do have access to a multi-world hub. Use it for some you time.

[powerofpink]

That's probably the best idea, yeah.

[trustmybase]

I... Yeah, I have some time. Interested? I'll treat you to some ribs.

[powerofpink]

Okay, that sounds good.

[trustmybase]

Cool. Let me get changed and I'll see if I can pick you up.

[powerofpink]

Okay, thanks.

[trustmybase]

No problem.

SORRY FOR LATE...

[tenminutes]

Don't bother with the self-pity kick. Go out and smash something.

Re: SORRY FOR LATE...

[powerofpink]

Would you believe it's a slow week?

[tenminutes]

So? Don't they have keys and cars in your time?

[powerofpink]

We have golf carts. Not nearly as nice.

[tenminutes]

Golf carts.

Well, you could always take a key to her golf cart.

[powerofpink]

I know, but it's definitely not the same.

[tenminutes]

Fine, blow up her golf cart. Explosions are generally cool no matter what you're blowing up.

[powerofpink]

Problem with that: It's not hers. It belongs to the people paying me.

[tenminutes]

Fine, get a puppy to take a dump in her shoes then.

[powerofpink]

To be honest, I might just keep the puppy. At least when it eats things it shouldn't, it's too young to know better, and it's less likely to walk out on me.

[tenminutes]

If you keep the puppy I get to play with it.

[powerofpink]

Then I guess I'd better find a puppy soon.

[tenminutes]

I hear they're great comfort too. Probably way better than whoever In-Sinks or the Blackstreet Boys are.

[powerofpink]

And according to some people, probably sound better too.

[tenminutes]

I think that's something that counts for every single musician ever though..

[powerofpink]

That is true.
