Nigel stood up and put five dollars on the table. He figured it was no use to stress about what had happen. It wasn't like there was anything he could do about the choice he had made. Not paying much attention to where he was walking, Nigel meandered toward the exit. As he opened the small door, he bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry." Both persons said in unison. Nigel looked up and his breath caught in his throat. "Syd.." He whispered. "Oh, Nigel.." Sydney smiled. "Three years…and we meet in a coffee shop."

Nigel nodded, smiling back. "Syd..It's..you?" Nigel couldn't think of anything else to say. Sydney smirked. "Nice to see you again." She said, throwing her arms around Nigel's neck. "You too..or, Nice to see you, also." Sydney broke off. "Let's go, Nige..We have a lot of catching up to do." Nigel nodded, and with that, the two left, arm in arm.

The waitress watched, grinning. "I owed you both." She said, touching the pink and white necklace around her neck. In a sprinkle of pink sparkles, the elderly waitress in a plain blue dress changed into a stunning blonde in a pink bodice and skort. "Hmm…Much better!" She exclaimed happily, briefly hugging herself. Turning around, she saw a man gaping at her. "Hey there…" She said, smiling and twirling a finger through her curly hair. The man's jaw fell slack. "Hmp…Mortals." She said, rolling her eyes. "Buh-bye." She said, waving slightly as a gold shower fell over her. In a flash, Aphrodite was gone.

That night, Sydney and Nigel fell asleep on Nigel's couch, wrapped around each other. Aphrodite appeared next to them. "Tsk, tsk, tsk…Falling asleep on a couch WITH clothes on! Bad, bad, bad! You could at least wear cute pajamas." She shook her head, picking up a blanket from the edge of the couch and covering the two up. "Good luck, sweets. I always did like you two." She whispered, disappearing once again. "Thanks, Dite." Sydney muttered. Wrapping her arms tighter around Nigel, Sydney fell into a comfortable sleep.
