Reese, Noah, Simone, and Miguel are at the Book Cafe.
Miguel is on the phone, "No-no-no. it's just a bit sudden... No, it's great. Okay? I'm totally on board. I love you too, all righty. Bye." He hangs up.
"What's the matter Miguel?" Noah asks.
"Nothing. Oh, actually, great news! I just got off the phone with Charity and it looks like I'm moving to a new apartment. Woo-hoo!" Miguel says faking excitement.
"Why?" Simone asks.
"Well, her thought is, and I agree, fresh new furniture, why not a fresh new apartment? Her cousin has this great place to sublet, it's got a view of the river on one side and Castleton park on the other." Miguel explains.
"That's like three trains away!" Noah complains, but Simone pinches him, "Which is great! I love to ride that rail!"
"So you're really okay with this?" Reese asks.
"Yes! Yes! I mean it's-it's kinda far from work, but uh, you know, I'll get so much done on the commute. I've been given the gift of time!" Miguel says.
"Now that's funny, because last Christmas I got the gift of Space. We should get together and make a continuum." Reese jokes.
Miguel leaves.
"Now he's movin'? Man, what is Charity doing to him?" Simone pinches Noah again, "Ow!! He's not even here!!!"

Noah, Simone, Reese, and Jessica are in Miguel's apartment helping him move out by carrying boxes.
Miguel is on the phone with Charity, "I know, I miss you too. I can't wait to see you. I love you. Bye." He hangs up.
Miguel turns to Noah, "I'm really gonna miss this apartment."
"Ohh. Hey, remeber when I ran into this thing," Noah points to the shutters that close off the kitchen, "And it kinda knocked me out a little?"
"I loved this place! To tell you the truth, I wish I didn't have to move." Miguel says.
"Uhh, are you saying that you're not entirely happy about this?" Noah asks.
"Well, I mean if uh, if Charity gave me a choice..." Miguel starts.
"You do have a choice!! Miguel, why are you listening to her?! Are you, are you crazy?!" Noah cuts him off.
"Why?"
"It's not right what Charity wants you to do! She is totally," Reese, Jessica, and Simone enter behind Noah and Simone pinches him again, "Owww!! Stop pinching me! Look, now you guys said I only had to keep my mouth shut as long as Miguel was happy, right? Well he just told me that he's not entirely happy."
"What's going on?" Miguel asks.
"We all hate Charity!" Noah blurts out.
"Nooo!!" Simone says.
"No, Miguel, we do not hate Charity. We-we just, we just think that you're having to sacrifice a whole lot to make her happy." Jessica explains.
"Yeah!" Noah says.
"Look, we just think that maybe she's being a little unreasonable." Reese says.
"Yes! Yes! Unreasonable!" Noah agrees.
"Unreasonable?" Miguel snaps, "How about we have this conversation when one of you guys gets married! You have no idea what it takes to make a marriage work! All right? It's about compromise! Do you like it? No! Do you do it? Yes! Because it's not all laughing, happy, candy in the sky, drinking coffee at the Book Cafe all the time! It's real life, okay? It's what grown-ups do!" He storms out.
"I think he's right. You guys hang out at the Book Cafe way too much." Simone says.
