Chapter 24:
After Dubstep had left, it was Intern 2 who started a slow clap. Soon, all the staffers were clapping for Dubstep. No matter if he were speaking English or dubstep, he was so inspirational.
"That took a lot of guts for him to do that," Intern 2 said.
"We know how hard it was for him," Metal said next.
Idol whipped away a tear off her cheek, "It was a lovely speech. I'm so glad I understood what he said this time."
Soon everyone was silent again, letting his speech sink in. what he said, was the truth. Idol was in the wrong and he made sure she knew. They did tell Alt that they'd make them pay for what they did. It wasn't until Metal spoke up a few moments later.
"Well?" he looked to Techno, "What are you waiting for? Get that boy already!"
"Yeah!" the others agreed.
She smiled and nodded.
Dubstep was in the same position Intern 2 was in when Metal and he came to see him. Head down on the table. Dubstep had his goggles over his eyes and headphones on. No music was playing, but it blocked out all the excess noise. He was done with people arguing today. He was so close to being done with people in general.
Techno walked in and sat down next to him. She smiled and gave him a side hug. He lifted his head up and saw Techno smiling to him. Techno took off his headphones and lifted his goggles to his forehead.
"Did you really mean everything you said about… us?"
"Course I did," he said, "Why would I lie about that?"
She shrugged, "I dunno… I just thought that you were getting… bored of me."
"Why would I ever get bored of you? You're way to PLUR for that," he smiled.
"I don't know why, but I'm feeling the same way you feel about me," she smiled as she blushed ever so slightly, "And you started talking in human again."
"It was the only way I could communicate with the others when you were away," he smiled awkwardly.
"I don't remember the last time I heard you talk. It's actually quite nice to hear your actual voice. It's really cute."
"Really?"
She smiled brightly, "Well of course."
"Don't just sit there!" Intern 2 shouted.
Both of them turned and saw all of the staffers in the doorway of the break room. They were all practically on the edge, waiting to see what happened next. They were honestly surprised none of them had a bucket of popcorn. Or a video camera…
"Kiss already!" everyone said in unison.
Techno laughed and cupped Dubstep's face before they kissed. Dubstep was a bit awkward about it at first due to the entire office staring at them, but soon participated without any hesitation. Finally! He thought in his head, this is better than I imagined!
The kiss was long and passionate, and well overdue. Everyone had their phones out, taking picture after picture, video after video of just one long overdue kiss between Techno and Dubstep. Half of which was probably going on their social media sites. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, Google Plus, and so on and so forth.
"Finally!" Scene exclaimed, "Techstep happened!"
Dubstep rolled his eyes and put his arm around Techno and they walked back out into the main office building. Techno loved how he put his arm around her. She really did like him, but all of a sudden, all the strong feelings came to her as they had kissed. She hadn't noticed that he liked her before. But everything was starting to make sense.
"Ok, we got two couples out of the way," Metal said, "Now, what about you two," he pointed over to Scene and Indie.
"What about it?" Indie asked.
"You know what we're talking about," Intern 2, "Scene, why did we hear you giggling in Indies' office? Indie, why were you laughing? Are you two together or not? Let's just get all of this stuff out of the way."
Scene looked up to Indie. He sighed and looked to everyone.
"Wanna know the truth?"
"Yeah!" everyone said in unison.
"Well, for a few months now," Indie said, trying to find how to put the story. Scene interjected to explain.
"A few months ago, Indie invited me to coffee," Scene began, "And one thing led to another and we started having a… thing…"
"We're not in a relationship, but it's not friends with benefits."
"So you guys are fooling around?" Metal asked.
"Yes," they said in unison.
"You two aren't dating, why?" Techno asked.
"Why would we? We're too different of people," Indie said, "Hipsters and scene kids wouldn't get along."
"Says who? Look at Intern 2 and Alt. No way could they've pulled that off. But did they? Well of course they did. They're perfect," Techno said.
"I take that as a… complement?" Intern 2 said.
"It was meant to be one."
"Just look at any crazy canon ship, Indie!" Scene said with a smile, "Like… Hiccup and Rapunzel! Or the Once-ler and Rapunzel! Or Cameron and Marty! Do they make sense? No. Do people still love them? Well of course! So why is that any different for us?"
Indie was speechless. Not only because he didn't know who the people she named were, but that she was right. They weren't together because Hipsters and Scene kids didn't really… go.
"So why don't you date?" Metal asked, "Life would be a lot simpler."
"Who cares what people say?" Intern 2 said, "Love is love. Can't fight it."
"What about you and Alternative?" Indie snapped.
"You fired her," he crossed his arms, "Not speaking a word about her until something is done about that."
Everyone looked at Intern 2 take a stand for himself and his girlfriend. He was done with getting stepped on everyday.
"I'll do something about it," Indie said, "If Idol decides to show her wrong live in front of a camera for the whole world to see."
"Think about all the stuff she did to you," Intern 2 said, "She booked Jeff Timmons for you. How long have you wanted him on MyMusic Live? A while right?"
"Well… yeah. I've been tweeting him for a few months now and…"
"What other explanation do you need?" Intern 2 said, "My girlfriend's amazing and you just can't see it. Everyone else can."
"Yeah," everyone else agreed.
After a moment of thinking it over, Idol sighed and nodded. They all had to push Idol into the confessions room. After a while, she gave in and went into there by herself.
To the cameras Idol fixed her hair and said, "Alternative, if you're watching this, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I successfully got you fired, stole your iPod and put Daughtry on it… I'm sorry. I'm very happy you booked Jeff Timmons for me and I was a bitch. I admit it. I'm so sorry I ruined your life. This isn't a lie. I'm truly sorry."
Idol stood, leaving the confessional room empty.
Back out in the main office space, everyone was finally calming down. Everyone was in the wrong and had admitted it. But was concerned, and worried, Dubstep and Metal the most was Intern 2's crazy idea.
"What's this crazy idea that you have, Intern 2?" Metal asked.
Dubstep nodded in agreement, "Yeah," he didn't care about trying to hide his talking from anyone anymore.
"I'll explain on the way," Intern 2 walked toward the doors of the office, "Come on!"
Dubstep and Metal shrugged and looked at each other, and in unison said, "Yikes."
