Wallow and Danny are standing in their living room waving money while cheering on Catbug as he wrestles a sock.

"Yeah, man! Kill HIM!" Danny howled.

"Never say die!" Wallow yelled matching the enthusiasm.

Beth walks by and then does a double take. "What are you guys doing?" She asked completely dumb founded.

Danny and Wallow still cheering turn, smiling, look at each other and then look at Beth.

"Wha- Um. . . I don't know." Danny replied as he scratched his head and slipped his money into his pocket.

"Haven't the slightest." Wallow said shrugging his shoulders.

"Okay. . ." Beth said hesitantly and then trying to change the subject "well, have either of you seen Chris?"

"Chris? Oh, he's with Plum probably sucking face!" Danny chuckled as he elbowing Marllow to chime in. Marllow looked uncomfortable and awkwardly pushed Danny's elbow away.

Beth acting slightly annoyed rolled her eyes and quickly said "can it Vasquez and spare me your horn dog stories. Wallow where's Chris? I need to talk to him."

"Danny isn't lying. He's with Plum-" Wallow spoke trying to sound delicate and diplomatic before Danny interrupted yelling.

"Smooching each other's face off!" Then he quickly started making kissing sounds. "Oh Plum your lips are so soft." He said in a mocking Chris voice. "Yes, Chris but they're only for you" imitating Plum perfectly.

"Grow up Danny! Why do you always act like such an IDIOT!" Beth said harshly.

Danny's brow furrowed and he replied pissed. "Whoa! Don't be mad at me! You're the one that lead Chris on, for like ever. You played with the guy's heart Tezuka. What was he supposed to do? Wait for you? You pretty much pushed him into Plum's clappy pig-hands!"

"Screw you Danny." Beth said storming out.

"Mind your moop dude!" Wallow said as he smacked the back of Danny's head.

Trying to defend himself Danny said "Ah, she's the one having sass episode."

"Only because you're having diarrhea of the mouth. Beth is your friend and you know what she is going through because we're all going through it but Beth is experiencing it at a deeper level. Sometimes I wonder if you think of anyone but yourself. Come on Catbug, let's leave. Danny's got some thinking to do."

Danny rubbed the back of his head as he watched his friend and pet leave the room.

"Man, I'm a dinglebat." He spoke to himself as he kicked the air.

Beth heard a knocking at her door.

"Come in." She said indifferently.

Danny walked in shyly. After entering the room he presented her with Butter lettuce. "Brought you this."

"Thanks, Danny but I'm not hungry." She said coldly.

"Beth, I'm sorry. I was out of line and-"

"You were right, you know. . . About me pushing Chris away. I was just going to ask him what movie he wanted to watch. It's movie night but he's with Plum. He's always with Plum now. I didn't mean to lead him on but he's always been my best friend. I didn't want that to change and now it has."

Danny made his way to Beth's bed and sat beside her.

"Hey, I wasn't right. You didn't push him away Beth. Plum is just a very alluring lady. Wallow and I were like bonkers over her, but no matter what Chris will ALWAYS be your best friend because he'd be crazy not to you're amazing, smart and funny. Plus you kick major ass and you take the cake for best boobs on the team-"

Beth punched Danny in the arm "EWW! Shut up perv."

"Well, second only to Wallow." He said smiling.

Beth laughed which made Danny smile and say "I don't like to see you upset or mooped out. Believe it or not I sorta know what you're going through girl and it sucks. I really like Plum and I make jokes about them together because it's easier to act like I don't care. Maybe if I act like it doesn't hurt, it won't"

"Does it work?"

"It hurts all the same." He replied with a weary smile.

Beth looked at Danny for a moment. She saw that behind his smile there was pain. Danny always had a troubled life and he always acted like a jerk. Now she kind of understood why.

"Hey how about you and your Butter lettuce join me for movie night?" She asked.

"What? Heck yeah." He said smiling "But I get to pick the movie!"

"Don't get ahead of yourself."
