Dave was shocked. Did he really hear that right? Balthazar was going to help him?
"Are you going to stare at me like that all day or you gonna say something?" Balthazar said gruffly to the shocked apprentice.
"Let me get this straight. You're going to help me with Becky?"
"Yes, I am. Why is that so surprising to you?"
"Because you're the most emotionless person I've ever met."
Balthazar sighed. "Just call Becky."
"No way! You call her." Dave protested.
"Fine. Then I'll call her. Give me your cell phone."
"Just don't break it or do anything that'll ruin-"
"Just give it to me!" Balthazar said, obviously irritated.
Dave handed over his cell phone reluctantly.
"Now, how do I get her number?" Balthazar muttered.
Dave took his phone back, dialed her number and returned the phone to Balthazar's hand.
"Oh, hi Becky. Are you busy? Good. Well, come down to Dave's lab. No he's not here." Balthazar pressed the "end call" button and handed the phone back to Dave.
"Is she coming?" Dave asked excitedly.
"Yep."
"What if this doesn't work or if-"
"Dave, calm down. Take a deep breath."
'Sorry. Just don't screw this up." Dave said quietly.
"I promise you that it will." Balthazar said calmly.
"Thanks for this." Dave muttered.
"You'd do the same."
Before Dave could respond to his master's uncalled for kindness, he heard a knock on the door.
"Don't say anything stupid, apprentice. That's an order!" Balthazar said gruffly.
Dave nodded.
"Balthazar?" came a voice.
"Come on down, Becky." Balthazar said. He was a little too calm for Dave's liking.
Dave heard the sound of high heels on the metal stairs.
"Hi, Balthazar." Becky sounded unusually happy, especially after she just broke up with Dave.
"Hey, Becky. How are things going with you?"
"Oh, I've been good-what's he doing here?" Becky said gesturing to Dave.
"Well, this is my lab." Dave said. It was obvious he was trying to be calm.
"I thought you said he wasn't here, Balthazar."
"I lied."
"Why exactly are you here, Dave?" Becky asked irritably.
"I don't know." Dave said innocently.
"This is exactly why we broke up. I can't go through this again!"
"I didn't do anything!" Dave protested.
"Is this your idea of an apology? It's really bad if it is." Becky said coldly.
"Not really. It's more like a pathetic plea, but yes."
Balthazar sighed and put his head in his hands. The kid was hopeless.
"What he means is that you both should try again." Balthazar said, glaring at Dave.
"Why would forgive I you, Dave? You never pay attention to me anyway."
"I'm really sorry about that, Becky."
"Sure you are. We'll get back together, you'll take more unnecessary classes and then forget that I even exist." Becky said sarcastically.
"Well, I-"
Becky let out a frustrated sigh. "I'm leaving in about two seconds unless Balthazar needs me for something."
"I do." Balthazar said. Dave kept giving him pleading looks.
"For what?" Becky was exasperated.
"Please don't leave, Becky." Dave pleaded.
"Give me one good reason why I should stay."
"Because I love you like crazy." Dave simply said.
"Dave, I love you too."
"Then why-"
"I don't know." Becky whispered.
"But-"
"Promise me one thing. That you'll stop taking extra classes."
"That was really stupid, Becky. I'm really stupid. Just kiss me."
She embraced him and he put his arms around her neck. They only broke apart for a few seconds to fill their airless lungs with oxygen.
"Apology accepted. I love you, Dave."
"I love you too, Becky."
"Thanks, Balthazar." Dave muttered.
From the corner, Balthazar was smiling, something he rarely ever did.
