Situation #4 : Of Hallmark Cards and Hearts
Zack furrowed his brow at the problem ahead of him. Tomorrow was the official six month mark for his good friends Hodgins and Angela anniversary of dating and he had yet to pick out a card to accompany the gift he'd already picked out. So, here he was, surrounded by women from the age of twenty to seventy looking for a card that wouldn't completely baffle and frustrate him as he tried to understand its meaning yet also get the job done of saying 'congratulations' in some festive manner.
"Oh goodness, I wonder if there's one of those funny, super cheesy cards," a woman nearby said as Zack reached forward to open a card.
Usually, he wouldn't dare come to such a place, especially one full of women, and he was beginning to get fidgety in nervousness even though he'd only been browsing for two minutes. If only he could find the right card...
"I really like that phrase 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach' because it's just cute and true! That's how I hooked my hubby's attention on our third date."
"But it's totally wrong, the way to his heart is through his pants."
By this time, Zack's interest was perked through the second statement of getting to a heart through pants; that was just ludicrous.
"It is highly improbably of being able to get to a man's heart through his 'pants' as you claim," Zack couldn't help but voice his thoughts as he put back a card and pulled out another, this one heavy on the glitter as some of it filtered down on the floor.
This caused the two middle-aged women to turn to him, the first who had talked asking, "So you believe me, right? A way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
The repeated phrase caused Zack to turn to them before saying after a few moments of thought, "That is plausible."
"Hah! See? He agrees with me," the woman shot to her friend smuggly.
"It is simple enough to get to the heart through the stomach," Zack continued on, "All a person has to do is stab in and then thrust up. That way, the knife or weapon isn't impaired by the rib cage."
The two women stopped their pointless bickering to stare at the young genius in a mix of shock and disgust. Feeling their eyes on him, he turned to them and said, "So I agree with you, it is possible to get to a man's heart by the stomach."
As the brown-haired youth turned back to the rows of cards, the two woman slunk away.
AN: I actually wrote this before seeing the finale, I find it ironic now DX
