Marie's POV:

"Ok Tess what's your question going to be then?"

Tess was overwhelmed, she had a happy face and as she stood there quietly it soon turned into a sinister grin.

"I've been thinking about it for a while now."

"Huh? " This surprised me. "What's it gonna be then, go on 'cause I haven't got all day."

"Ok... here it is," I looked back at Tess, she was silent for a few seconds and as she looked back up to me she quickly slammed her arm and pointed at my face. "Marie, through my careful research I have come to the conclusion that you are part of a band called the squid sisters."

"I might be, I might not be."

"Fine then, are you part of them?"

"Yes."

"Ok on to my questi-"

"Too late you already used your question Tess."

"Wait what!" Tess looked at me glumly and as I looked back, I realised her face was red with anger. She took off her headphones and threw them onto the ground.

"I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU AND YET YOU AVOID IT!!!"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean! I swear one day your attitude is going be the reason you will be in danger!!!"

"Funny, the same could be said for yours."

Now she was mad, she went on top of the sewer pipe and stormed off, she was gone. I sighed, this was quick. I looked back at the headphones she threw and peeked back at the sewer pipe that she entered. That was pointless, as I walked over to pick up the headphones a fizz came out of them.

"Nice going pop star!"

"ARGH!?" I dropped the headphones, it was sheldon speaking. "What do you want bobble head?"

"Well for starters, I would like for you to not call me that, the next thing I want is to let you realise that agent 4 wants to get to know you, What are you hiding from her?"

"Everything? Unlike everyone else, Tess doesn't ask me questions or even nag me for autographs... I like that..."

"She wants to know you so let her. You never know she may have seen a video of the interview you flopped."

"I DID NOT FLOP IT!!! AND HOW THE HECK DID YOU FIND THE VIDEO!!!"

"That's a discussion for another day, but for now you need to realise that there has to be a time for you to talk to her, maybe try opening up to her... like your... roommate would have!"

I picked up the headphones up again and whispered even though no one would be listening.

"my partner is the reason I'm not talking to her."

"I'm guessing this discussion is over isn't it?"

"It's a no wonder you have no friends goggle boy!"

"How did you come up with that name so quickly?"

I walked away from the spot I was standing on and whilst Sheldon was rambling I placed the headphones on the porch of the mini cabin and walked again to the sewer pipe. I dreaded this time of day, the interview station wanted to do another go with me today.

As I was about to turn into my squid form Sheldon spoke one else more, "If you see this as practice for your interviews, then your not doing a very good job." I ignored Sheldon and left...
