Two men dressed in kilts walked into the room where Danielle was. By now she was no longer expecting people to knock. In fact, them coming through the door normally was a tremendous surprise.
"I'm Robbie," one of them said as he stuck out his hand and began to shake her hand vigoriously.
"Hi Robbie."
"And I'm Rory!" the other exclaimed as he took her other hand and started to have it with the same intensity as Robbie.
"Nice to meet you Rory but I only want one of you at a time."
The two Highlanders looked at each other and began to scratch.
"So can one of you go wait in the hall?"
"I'm Robbie!" the first one said sticking his hand out again and shaking hers.
"I know you just - "
"And I'm Rory!" the other said who shook her other hand.
"I know we just went over this. But I need to only talk to one of you at a time."
The looked at each other, scratching, then Robbie said, "I'm Robbie!"
Danielle backed up and stuck her hand behind her back. "We've done this before - twice."
"You don't like Robbie?" Robbie asked painfully, "She doesn't like Robbie!" He started to pout.
Rory went over and tried to comfort him by giving him a portion of his kilt to blow his nose on. "Rory likes Robbie. Rory your friend."
"Rory?" Robbie asked when he looked up at Rory standing in front of him.
"Robbie," Rory said with the same intensity. Then they hugged each other in what was possibly the least manly way.
"Are you two like - you know?" Danielle asked as she sat down at her table with her hand still behind her.
"Rory? And Robbie!" Rory asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Rory, Robbie, no?" Robbie asked Rory painfully as Rory started to back away from where he was.
"Rory no. Rory no," Rory said as he backed away and dropped his head. He couldn't look in his teammate's face. Back in Scotland things had been different. There had been haggis on every corner and an Irish man to beat up on every corner. In this strange new world, it was hot dogs and postal workers. He couldn't comprehend what was going on. Everything was just moving too fast.
Robbie looked at his teammate with the same expression. He knew that the change had been hard on Rory what with no sound of bagpipes to wake him in the morning. Not to mention the dry cleaners never cleaned the kilts the way they should be cleaned. "Rory, Robbie sees now," Robbie said as he moved closer to Rory and gave him a hug.
"So are you sure you two aren't...you know?" Danielle asked, "Because I mean it's okay if you are but I would advise getting some counsuling or something."
Rory and Robbie both nodded in agreement and started to walk out the door.
"Wait, first, just take this. Love problems are no reason not to wrestle," she smiled.
"Rory!" Rory yelled as he shoved into Robbie knocking him over the chairs.
Robbie picked up one and hit it on Rory's head. "Robbie!" They both started to laugh and reached out for the paper which Danielle gave to them awkwardly.
"Bye,"she said as she waved bye to them.
"Robbie!" Robbie said as he shook her hand fiercely.
"Rory!" Rory responded with shaking her hand. Then they shook each others hands and walked out of the door.
