Parker sat alone at a table munching on a bag of chips. She pulled out a chip that was folded in half. Holding it over the table, she squeezed it in her fist tightly until it was nothing but crumbs. After wiping off her hand she returned to eating the rest of her chips.

A girl sat down at her table. It was Ray's girlfriend, Grace. Parker found another folded chip and repeated the process of destroying it.

"Why do you do that?" Grace asked.

"Folded chips are bad luck."

"Funny, I thought they were chips that you could wish on."

"Well, I used to think so too… until I got a piece of one stuck in my windpipe and had to be rushed to the emergency room."

Grace chuckled at that. Folding her arms, she leaned over and tried to look a little more serious. Parker imitated her. Laughing again, Grace leaned back.

"Seriously, I need to talk to you."

"Alright, I suppose that means I need to listen to you."

"You and Lily are pretty close… do you know if there's anything between her and Ray?"

"Yes, I do know. But I think you should talk to Lily about that."

"I don't want to confront Lily with anything like that."

"Why would you ask if there's anything anyway? Last time I checked, Ray was with you."

"Last night after the show, I thought I heard Lily yell something to Ray. I thought I heard her say "Ray, I love you."

"When I need advice, I like to listen to this radio station." Parker pulled a radio set out from her backpack. She turned the dial to 88.1.

"Radio Free Roscoe! You listen to it too?"

"Yeah, I think it's pretty cool."

The song that was playing ended. A deep inquisitive voice began to speak.

"I'm Question Mark and I'm wondering, what should you do when you've been rejected? Should you just give up? Should you persist? Or should you just sit back and hope that the person who rejected you will change their mind eventually? Shady?"

A female voice then started to speak. She sounded confident in what she was saying, as she always did.

"It always sucks to be rejected Question Mark, but don't just give up. Keep trying and eventually you might get the answer you were looking for. What would you do Pronto?"

A voice that didn't sound quite sure of itself started talking. That voice sounded serious, which was rare for it's owner.

"Well… you have to keep in mind the person who does the rejecting. Sometimes they have to choose between two people and if you're not the one that they choose, it might hurt you. They don't want to hurt you, but that's the way it goes. You shouldn't hate them for it. Don't do anything drastic, if the person wants to be with you, they'll tell you. But until they do, I think you should respect their feelings toward you. Does the all-knowing Buddha have an opinion on this?"

The next voice to speak seemed somewhat shaken, which was odd, because it usually sounded in control and on top of things.

"Buddha doesn't have a lot on rejection, but I can relate to the topic. Sometimes being rejected doesn't always feel that bad. Sure it can hurt, but sometimes rejection doesn't mean that the person rejecting you dislikes you. In some cases the reason they reject you is because they have feelings for you."

"We'd love to take some callers, but unfortunately we're out of time. See you next time, this is Shady Lane with the rest of the Radio Free Roscoe crew, signing off."
