The next week, Molly opened the door to her condo at 4:00 in the afternoon. She was wearing a green zip-up sweater with a white solid t-shirt underneath. She placed her bag on the kitchen island and swam over to her room to find Gil sitting on the bed, scrolling through Instagram while eating chips with the TV on. Molly sat down next to him and put her chin on his left shoulder and glanced at his device. "Did you call Nonny?"
Gil double-tapped his phone with his thumb. "No."
"Why not?"

"I don't want to get involved in this hookup. What if they're not meant to be? This whole thing would be for nothing!"

Molly put her head on his shoulder. "Where's your positive spirit?"

"I don't have any." he joked.

She laughed as she got off the bed. The pink-haired guppy took her cell phone out her sweater pocket and dialed Nonny's number. The phone started to ring.

"Hello?" a voice said.

"Hey Nonny, it's Molly. I was wondering if you can come over today. Gil says his tail is hurting him after he was playing with the kids today."

"Sure." he replied. "I'll be there in 20."
"Perfect! Thank you so much. Bye!" Molly hung up and turned to her boyfriend. She grabbed his arm and tugged him out the door. "Okay, Gilly, get out!"
"What?!" he asked confusingly as his girlfriend tugged him out in the threshold of their condo.
Molly tilted her head to the side as she stared at her confused boyfriend. "Come on, Gilly. Ever since I met you, I've been tagging along with your crazy shenanigans!" The young adult inhaled with confidence. "Now it's my turn!" She grabbed his leather jacket from the coat rack and threw it at his chest. "Just please stay out the house for around an hour." Molly then pecked her lips on Gil's.
He sighed as he slid the jacket onto his arms. The blue-haired guppy slightly grinned. "As long as I'm out of this hookup plan... I'll stay out if you need me to."
"Thanks, Gilly! See you tonight."

. . .

"See you then, Oona!" Molly said through her phone. She hung up and glanced at Deema who was chewing on some broccoli. The yellow-haired young adult pointed the vegetable at her friend while chewing. "This plan is going to go great."

"You bet!" Molly exclaimed.

Soon, there was a knock at the door. Molly turned to Deema as she hid in the bedroom. The pink-haired guppy peeked through the peep-hole to find Nonny with his stethoscope around his neck and his bag of equipment in his hand. She opened the door. "Hey Nonny! Come on in. Gil will be here shortly."

"Cool." Nonny said as he swam inside the condo. The doctor glanced around the tiny condo. He then sat down on the futon as Molly closed the door. She grabbed a quarter-full trash bag that was against the cabinet and opened the door again. "I'm just gonna... take out the trash." The young adult swam across the condominium corridor to find the trash room at the end. She glanced out the window and back at the corridor. Soon, the elevator opened. Oona swam forward, removed her friendship headphones from her ears and rested them on her shoulders. She grinned at Molly. "Hey girl!"

"Hey," Molly greeted. "I'm just taking out the trash, but you can go in. I'll be there in a minute. Fifth door on the left."
Oona nodded and swam into Molly's condo. As she went in she stopped in her tracks.
Nonny did a double take at Oona, who had a frightened look on her face.
The doctor stood up."What are you doing here?"
The purple-haired young adult closed her eyes and swam to the kitchen. She had her back to Nonny as she stood up in front of the counter tops. She pulled out her phone to start to text. Oona then slammed it on the table. "I can't believe you thought I would screw things up!"
"You would and you did. You ruined the entire project! My creation. Down the drain!"

She turned around. "Your creation? This was MY IDEA"

"I did all the work for a reason. I needed it for university! AND BECAUSE OF YOU, I DIDNT GET THE SCHOLARSHIP!"

Oona shook her head. "Selfish. Just selfish." She swam out of Molly's condo and down the corridor. The pink-haired adult narrowed her eyes at her friend and grabbed her wrist. "Where are you going?"
But Oona didn't respond. She freed her wrist from Molly's hand and went into the elevator.
As she swam down the corridor to her condo, she saw Nonny swim out the door with his doctor bag in hand. He narrowed his eyes at her. "Tell Gil to rest his tail for a couple of weeks."
