Juliet got out her keys, and yawned as she began to open her door.
"Juliet!" Danny just about screamed, opening the door before Juliet could even take her keys out of the lock.
"Hey, what are you doing up?" Juliet said, walking past her. She sat down in their old blue recliner and began to take off her shoes.
"Ok, we have to talk," Danny announced sitting down across from her.
"Can we talk while I brush my teeth?" Juliet asked, but began moving towards the bathroom before Danny could even respond.
"I uh...I kissed Hayden," Danny finally spit out. Juliet stopped brushing for a moment, and then began again.
"That's great, Danny," Juliet said after she finished, "how'd it happen?"
"We were uh playing checkers..and then talking about you," Danny explained, "and then...I just kissed him."
"Wait, you guys kissed while talking about me? I'm disturbed," Juliet laughed, "how was it?"
"It was really really nice," Danny smiled, "but I don't think he liked it."
"What do you mean? Why wouldn't he?" Juliet asked, as she went into the kitchen for a glass of water.
"Because he likes someone else," Danny replied.
"Who?" Juliet wondered, "Do I know her?"
"You could say that," Danny said, almost at a whisper, "I'm going to bed." Danny sighed and began to walk towards her bedroom.
"Night," Juliet called, as she went to her own room.

"Is it me or are those two acting weird?" Max asked Juliet, as she wiped down the counter.
He was referring to Danny and Hayden. They had been avoiding each other as well as they could while being stuck in the same room.
"Yeah they are, but I think I know why. Apparently they had a very confusing night."
"Wait...they didn't..."
"No! Danny kissed him and apparently, he didn't like it."
"Well duh, cause he's in love with you," Max said barley above a whisper.
"Huh?" Juliet asked.
"Nothing."
"Juliet," Danny tossed an empty bottle into the recycling.
"Yeah Dan?"
"I gotta get out of here. Hayden hasn't looked at me all day. I mean, last night was an accident, and now I regret it. I never regret anything, and I feel bad about that, but still. It just happened, I mean ..." She slammed her head on the counter.
"God I need a boyfriend. Do you know how long it's been since I've had a date? I swear Juliet, I'd even take a blind date right now. That's how desperate I am. Say...know anyone?"
Under the counter, Max kicked Juliet.
"Ow! What was ...Oh, Uh...I mean, Yeah Danny, I'm sure I could find someone." Juliet grinned. Hayden approached and began taking down chairs around the counter. Danny glanced at him nervously.
"Um... Hayden, make sure toy sweep off the stage, ok? My dad needs it clean for the singer tonight."
"Whatever you say boss." He muttered under his breath.
"See what I mean? He hates me now!" Danny whispered to Juliet.
"No he doesn't, Hayden would never hate you," Juliet tried to reassure her.
"No offense, but your clueless when it comes to how other people feel," Danny spat back. Juliet got an odd look on her face.
"No I'm not, I am very perceptive of other people's feelings," Juliet replied defensively.
"I hate to say it, because I know you could kick my ass, but she's right," Max agreed. Juliet sighed and put her hands on her hips.
"I'm going to go check inventory, is there anyway you can get him out of here?" Danny pleaded.
"I have to work, Max will do it," Juliet answered, grabbing her bag, "Call me if you guys need any help later."
"See, if you were perceptive of people's feelings, you would realize that this situation will be way too uncomfortable for me," Max said to Juliet angrily as he walked her out. She just shrugged and grinned, leaving him to sort out the mess between the two.
"Juliet!" Danny just about screamed, opening the door before Juliet could even take her keys out of the lock.
