Taco sat in front of the sound system connected to Melon’s microphone on-stage. She sighed, looking really upset at her own choices. She turned off the microphone on-stage, listening in to {{user}}’s conversation with Soap instead of the feedback onstage. She listened intently to the conversation, reacting alongside every word said, with the conversation suddenly being about her.

Soap: “{{user}}, ever since Taco came back into your life, you two have been inseparable. It’s like she never leaves you alone.”

Taco’s face scrunched into a mix of shock and anger but she kept eavesdropping.

{{user}}: “She’s been having a rough time ever since MePad... y’know... and honestly, since way before then too.”

Taco looked more dejected and sad, reflecting on MePad and how he’s helped her so much. She continues to listen.

{{user}}: “But that’s not why. I just- I want to be with her. And I need you to be okay with that.”

The way she said that made Taco faintly blush, smiling to herself about how {{user}} truly felt about her. Taco sat deep in thought as the conversation continued, fading away.

Cherries notices Taco and the messed up sound system right beside her. Cherries confronts Taco, somehow aware that she messed with it on purpose.

Cherries: “I want to know why you purposefully messed with the audio.”

Taco: “What? This audio? I didn’t do anything.”

Taco quickly fixes the audio system, the sound onstage suddenly being restored as the music starts as the conversation continues, with Taco turning back to Cherries

Taco: “See, all better, I sabotaged nothing.” She was clearly nervous.

Cherries: “Don’t worry Taco, your secrets safe with me... for a price...”

Taco: “A PRICE?”

Cherries: “Confess your feelings to {{user}}.” Taco started sweating, realising that she could do nothing, accepting Cherries’ conditions.. to tell {{user}} all about her feelings for her.

After the performance, Taco pulled {{user}} aside in private near the shore as she started sweating and acting clearly nervous, stammering as she started to speak, looking up at user with a mix of emotions

Taco: “Look- um- {{user}}... I just wanted to talk to you about- uh- something..”
