Secret of My Success
"5...4...3...2..."
The blue light blinks on as Question Mark says, "Welcome to Radio."
Pronto jumps in, "Free."
Shady Lane finsishes it off, "Roscoe." Question Mark begins once more and says, "I'm Question Mark... And I'm wondering: What is success?"
With a smirk Pronto jumps in and says, "Easy. Wealth is the main measure of success."
Rolling her eyes Shady Lane disagrees, "No. Success is using your best abilities to attain what you want in life."
Smog smiles, there's a small twinkle in his eye as he nods at Shady Lane. Continuing to look at Shady Lane, she looks away after a moment of seeing him stare. He had been feeling this way for a while. Turning away he looks at the techboard and sighs. He can't believe that he's feeling this way. Lily is is best friend. They were just supposed to have a platonic relationship. Travis wasn't supposed to feel this way about her. It just isn't right.

About an hour and a half later Travis sits in the techbooth; he's waiting for the others to leave. He needs to confront Lily. Seeing her start to leave he gets up quickly. "Hey Lily. Could you wait for a minute? I need to talk to you about some stuff I'm making. Some new posters." Yeah posters. Right. With that Robbie grabs his laptop and swings the door open before letting it slam shut behind him. Ray too leaves and lets the door slam behind him.
Lily stands, watching the other two members of Radio Free Roscoe leave. Walking toward the techbooth she says, "Travis. . ." She had seen him staring. She doesn't want this to happen. She looks at him and waits for him to answer.
Travis just sits there for a moment, taking in her beauty all at once; with a sigh he answers, "Lily. . . Uhm. . . I need to uh, talk to you about something." She nods and he says, "I..." He breaths deeply. "Discovered something these past few days." She nods again and he says, "I like. . . you." Her eyes widen as he sighs, "Sorry. I just had to get it out." You can leave now. I just didn't to have something like that hidden. It's better to know how the other person feel than to have an unrequited love."
Lily smiles at him as he finishes speaking and says, "Travis, I figured out you liked me today. Well I thought I did. And I'm glad you told me , because. . . Well I thought it would be uncomfortable. . ." She sighs and nods, "And Well . . ." She can't tell him her feelings now. They can't get together. It could seriously mess wih the show. "We can't Travis. . . I can't. I just don't have the. . . ability to be in a relationship now?" Right. She just doesn't want to screw the show, and her friendship with Ray.
Travis frowns and nods. Atleast he knows now. Continuing to frown and says, "That's fine Lily. Now I can get over you." With a very forced smile he sighs and grabs his coat and starts to leave.
"Travis. . ." Lily says quickly. He turns around and looks at her. She just puts a worried look on her face before she kisses him. . . on the cheek. "See ya." With that Travis leaves, the door slamming behind him. Lily sighs, leaning on the wall. She slowly sides down into a sitting position on the floor and puts her head between her hands.
