DISCLAIMER: As always, I'm not crazy, just daft and committed to jokes. Karen and Jayne please get together, I totally figured out your secret and you should go public now because it would be the most adorable couple in the history of all things.

Karen woke up excited. They had no more performances, and all four of them were planning to go sightseeing. There was a museum about half an hour away and a few nice walks, so they had plenty to do.

When she got out of the shower, Karen wrapped a fluffy towel around her and went to her clothes. She picked out her favourite black dress and a pair of black flats. It was the perfect mix between formal and casual, which meant that it was worn a lot.

Everybody met in the lobby. Chris was wearing another one of his button-down shirts he was so fond of with a pair of smart jeans. Karen couldn't help but stare. She may be after Jayne, but she could appreciate a fine man when he was dangled in her face. Nicky had new jeans and a scruffy tshirt, easily the sloppiest of the four.

Jayne greeted Karen first. She was wearing a dress as well, short and purple with a White belt, and Karen thought it made her look stunning. Then again, she could wear bin bags and pull it off. They hugged and joined the boys.
"So, breakfast?" Karen said.

Each of them had toast and tea at the restaurant adjoining the hotel, and headed out. Chris had bought a map from a tourist shop, and they worked their way to a museum. It was about 12 o'clock by this time, so the streets were filling up right on schedule.
"If we separate, meet at the entrance at half four," Chris announced. Everybody nodded, and split. Chris went off to a sports exhibit, Nicky to a technology section, and Jayne and Karen wandered into a new-looking astronomy exhibition.

Karen was looking around at the planet models, but mostly looking at the ceiling, which had been decorated to look like the night sky, with each constellation labeled. Jayne feigned interest in the models, and kept looking at Karen instead. It was a waste of the entrance fee, but try telling that to her.

"You know, you're the brightest star here." Jayne had sat beside Karen, who was on a bench and looking at the stars. Karen smiled, and leaned on Jayne, resting her head on Jayne's shoulder. Jayne's dress sleeve felt soft on her cheek.
"If there were fewer people here, this would almost be like that ideal date I told you about." Karen joked. As soon as those words left her mouth, a switch flipped in Jayne's head, who started to plan a date.
"Well, maybe this can be a compromise. Remember, my ideal date was more fussy than yours," Jayne laughed. She put her arm around Karen's waist, which gained a couple of funny looks from some museum patrons. Well, it was the eighties.

They both noticed the stares, so they stood up and paced around the dimly lit exhibition instead. Karen gestured towards a small corridor, and they started down it, into a music exhibition. The area was deserted enough that they put their arms around each other's waist and chatted away about nothing in particular. The music exhibition turned out to be very interesting, containing various instruments and albums. They were playing songs in the current charts and had lit the place to look like a disco. Karen and Jayne were looking at the wall made of album artwork, when 'Radio Gaga' started playing. They moved into the middle of the room and started to dance the opposite dance to what was called for. The song started with the slower melody, so they bounced around and giggled like schoolgirls until the chorus. They stepped in close, still laughing, put their arms around each other's waist and started slow dancing. They gently swayed, spinning slowly around to the voice of Freddy Mercury.

"radio, what's new? Radio

someone still loves you

We watch the shows, we watch the stars…"

Jayne tilted her head so that Karen's hair was tickling her nose. Her face turned, and Karen felt her plant a light kiss on her cheek. The arms around Jayne's waist were tightened, and she sighed, completely contented.

"let's hope you never leave, old friend,

like all good things, on you we depend…"

Karen leaned out a little, and let her eyes trace over every feature on Jayne's face, lingering most at her smile. Her eyes gradually closed as she moved her face towards Jayne's, who tilted her head so their noses didn't bump, and were just about to kiss, when Chris and Nicky walked in.

Chris and Nicky had met on the stairs and were in a heated discussion about football. They turned in to the room Karen and Jayne were in, and stopped dead. Chris' eyes widened, Nicky's brow furrowed, Karen and Jayne looked like deer caught in headlights.

"How could you do this to me, Karen!" Nicky looked betrayed, as though Karen had done this just to spite him. Tears formed in Karen's eyes, as she tried to explain herself.

"I… I didn't-" she stammered. Jayne pulled her in closer, more concerned about Karen than being found by the boys.

"She didn't do anything to you," Jayne said, her voice wobbling a bit more than she'd have liked. "Let her be." She looked over at Chris, who had stood in the corner with the same dumbfounded expression on his face. "Well?"

"Is this what you want?" he whispered. Jayne and Karen gave a small nod. "Then I support you both." He walked towards the couple, gave them a hug, and offered Karen a tissue.

Nicky looked as though he was going to be sick. His mind was going a mile a minute, trying to work out if two people being happy together had wronged him. Muh to everyones surprise, Karen piped up.

"If you think I did something to you by loving Jayne, you're wrong." She was staring at the floor, unable to look him in the eyes. "You're not much more than a skating partner to me." She looked up at his face, which had never looked so red. "I never batted an eyelid when you flirted and bedded every girl with a pulse, so I'd thank you to do the same for me." She had begun to shout, which surprised her.

Nicky stormed out of the room, obviously not letting logic cloud his irrational judgement, and Karen collapsed onto Jayne, tears streaming down their faces. Chris put his hand on her back to comfort her. "come on, I'll buy lunch."
