Sophie ran out of the flat as fast as she could, crying loudly. How DARE some girlish effeminate bastard like Vince steal Harriet's date! A lot of people were staring at her due to her being in her shaman garb, but she didn't care. She was more concerned about her friend than her blue shamanic robes. She ran until she reached the street on which Harriet's place of work was located, and stopped.

Back at the flat, Naboo was still in tears.

"For fuck's sakes Naboo, shut the fuck up!" yelled Vince, who was now lying on the sofa in his pyjamas, a can of Strongbow in one hand and a chocolate bar in the other.

"How can I?" wailed Naboo, wiping his eyes on the sleeve of his purple pyjama top.

"I've just lost Sophie…I really should've stopped and spoke to Harriet and taken her back here-"

"It's a bloody good thing you didn't!" growled Vince. "Howard T.J. Moon is MY bitch now, not hers."

Howard, who was still stood there naked, looked at Vince, then at a still sobbing Naboo.

"I don't see why she called you that Naboo," he said.

Naboo looked Howard in the eyes. "Yeah, I don't see why either, look at loverboy over there."

He spun around and looked at Vince, who was now trying to light a cigarette.

Howard growled. "Yeah, he's taken worse shit than you."

Vince looked first at Howard, then Naboo, then back at Howard.

"I know I use date rape drugs for fun, but I only do it when I'm out clubbing which is like…" He paused to take a long draw of the cigarette "…once a month? Oh, and Howard, we all know you're on crack, I went through your bloody bedside unit one night when you were at that jazz bar."

Howard's face turned scarlet. "Yeah, I am. But still…"

"But still what?" yelled Vince. "Just cos I'm on all sorts of shit, you think I'm worse than Naboo? Would Naboo ever love someone like I love you?"

Howard thought. Then Naboo spoke.

"Vince's right Howard. His love for you is stronger than my love for Sophie."

Howard sighed. "Yeah, that may be the case, but I'm not one hundred per cent certain I love Vince back."

"Then why on earth did we just do that?" snarled Vince. "For fun?"

"No, because I was too scared to move. Now I'm off out to try and find Harriet and Sophie."

He was about to walk out the door, when Vince opened his mouth.

"You're naked Howard."

"That doesn't matter. I'm more concerned about those girls. Their safety is 100 times more important than my dignity."

He grabbed his black trenchcoat from a hook on the door, and put it on. The only pair of shoes he could find were his flip flops, so he put them on too. Then, he walked out of the flat, slamming the door behind him.

Vince looked at Naboo. "Don't worry, HE'LL come home," he said with a smile.
