"Hi Rita." Diana greeted. "So, we heard Babsie's back."
"She's in her room at the moment." Rita confirmed. "But, uhh, she's dyed her hair again. Picture Cruella DeVil."
Zac burst out laughing as Isaac hurried towards Babsie's room.
"What's with him? Not a word in greeting." Rita wondered aloud, handing Mike over to Taylor.
"Oh, c'mon, surely you must have realised?" Zac asked. "Every since she announced she was engaged, Ike's been acting like she's the next Alanna."

Isaac flung open the door. The nanosecond he saw Babsie, he grabbed her, pinned her against the wall and kissed her with such force and passion that she could hardly breathe for a moment.
"Ike?" she asked, gasping for breath. "You know, I heard about your break up with Tanya -"
"Do you want to know why?" Isaac asked suddenly, leaning forward and started kissing her neck. "She says to me 'Ike, we can't go out any more, you're in love with someone else'."
Babsie laughed.
"Aww, who's the lucky girl? And why are you with me and not her?"
"Ha ha." Isaac replied.
There was silence, then he pulled away, and gazed into her eyes.
"You weren't joking?" he asked.
"Lets think about this a second. I'm this completely insane lunatic. You are the most awesome guy in the world. Awesome guys do not fall in love with crazy girls. Only complete losers fall in love with girls like me. And boring old accountants."
"Now, wherever did you get the idea that I couldn't fall in love with you?" he asked, touching her hair.
Babsie shrugged.
"It's just the way it is I guess."
"Well, let me tell you something, this awesome guy has fallen head-over-heels in love with this crazy girl."
She smiled as he went back to kissing her.

"What on earth are they doing up there?" Taylor asked.
"Well, if in thirty seconds we don't hear yelling and a door slam, then they're probably making out." Zac answered.
"Zac. Really."
"Yes really."
"Oh come on, how would you know that?"
Zac grinned.
"Well, hey, you can always take a peek and see if I'm right. But if you do, and I am right, then I'm gonna tell everyone that you're such a pervert you watched your brother and his girlfriend making out."
