The well-known Ricki Lake music filled the hall. The crowd was clapping and cheering as Ricki said what was going to happen on 'Todays show'.

'Hi, everybody!' said Ricki. The crowd cheered.

'Todays guests are in love with their best friends, and they are going to tell it! Will they be heart broken or happily?'

The crowd cheered again. Then Ricki said;

'Todays first guest says he has known his love for six years, but he hasn't loved her all the time. Today he will tell! Welcome, Harry!'

A tall, lanky boy with untidy hair and glasses walked in, waving to the audience. They cheered, again.

'Hi, Harry!' said Ricki, 'how are you?'

'Hey, Ricki, how's things?' replied Harry coolly.

'I'm fine, but what about you?'

'I'm fine, Ricki.'

'So tell us about this girl!'

'Well, Ricki, I've known her for about six years. I've always been friends with her, since I and my friend Ron, saved her from a troll.'

'That sounds heroic!'

'Well, actually, we locked the door,' said Harry, and a massive 'BOOOOOOO' came out from the audience,

'But we didn't know she was in there, so.and then we saved her.'

'But you've never actually been in love with her.'

'No, well, for some years now.'

'So when did you realize you were in love with her, then?'

'Well, Ricki, it was in my 4th year, and she started to look like a woman instead of a rabbit.'

'That sounds romantic!' joked Ricki, 'are you ready to tell her, then?'

'Yes, I am, Ricki.'

'That's good! Come in, Hermione!'

A pretty girl with brown, wavy hair walked in. The audience cheered, and she walked to Harry and gave him a hug.

'Hi, Hermione!' said Ricki and grinned.

'Hi, Ricki,' said Hermione, and grinned as well.

'Do you have a clue of why you're here?' asked Ricki.

'No, not at all, Ricki,' said Hermione and smiled nervously.

'Well, Harry has something he wants to tell you,' said Ricki and smiled her shiny white smile.

'Really?'

Harry started to talk;

''Mione,' he said, 'we've been best friends for so many years.'

'Yes.' said Hermione, looking clueless.

'But lately - ' he continued,

'Not lately!' exclaimed Ricky cheerfully, 'for the last couple of years!'

'Okay.' Harry scowled at Ricki. 'I've been having these feelings for you.'

'What?' said Hermione.

'Yeah,' said Harry dreamily.

'But - ' said Hermione, taken aback.

Ding - dong! Suddenly there was a well known sound. The audience were 'OOOOOOing and OOOOHing as a red-head boy walked in. He was even taller and lankier than Harry.

'Ron!' said Harry. First Ron hugged Harry, and then he kissed Hermione.

'Uh, oh!' said Ricki, and the crowd cheered along. Harry was standing there, gaping. Ron sat down, and took Hermione's hand, and they were sitting there, smiling at each other.

'But,' started Harry, cluelessly.

'Um, Harry,' said Hermione, 'I haven't been completely honest with you.'

Harry just gaped at them.

'You see, I love Ron.'

'What?' said Harry suddenly. 'You love Ron?'

'Yeah,' said Hermione and gazed at Ron. 'I'm so sorry.'

Harry swallowed. He felt terrible. Then Ricki started to talk again.

'But, Harry, isn't there anyone who would like to know that you love Hermione?'

Harry blushed.

'Well, maybe my girlfriend, Ginny.'

The crowd BOOOOOOOed at him. He looked down.

'Do you still want to be with her, now that you can't have Hermione?'

'No, Ricki, I'll always love Hermione.'

'Well, maybe you need to tell her then! Come out, Ginny!'

The audience cheered as a cute red head girl with large brown eyes and freckles walked in. She sat down next to Harry.

'Hi, Ginny!' said Ricki cheerfully. 'Do you know why you're here?'

Ginny shook her head. 'Well, I might have a clue, though,' she said.

Ricki raised her eyebrows. 'You have?' she said in amazement.

'I think he's gonna ask me to marry him!' said Ginny happliy.

'Well, you'll just have to see,' said Ricki. Then she nodded to Harry.

'Well, Ginny, you know we've been a couple for two years now.'

'Yes?' said Ginny, her eyes sparkling, 'but there's something I have to tell you.'

Ginny looked excitedly at him. 'And?'

'Well, I love someone else.'

'What?' exclaimed Ginny and started to cry. 'Why?'

'I love Hermione,' said Harry, blinking.

'But she's with Ron! What's wrong with me? What? What!?' Tears flowed down Ginny's freckly cheeks, down from her brown eyes. She wiped them away.

'What's wrong with me?' she managed to say.

'Well, first of all, I'll start with that you don't cut your toenails.'

'You said you didn't care! I thought you loved me!' sobbed Ginny, wiping away big fat tears. 'I thought you loved me.'

Ricki turned to the cameras.

'Soon we'll have to deal with a girl who finds out she's in love with her best friend, and she's gonna tell today. But first, we'll have a break.'
