April shrugged. "I'll do my best. I'm no shrink though, so I can't make any promises." She crossed her arms, furrowing her brow as she thought about this. "All right then...how are we going to do this?"

"I don't know, maybe...oh, God, I don't know! Just...ask me questions or something. You must know more about this kind of thing than I do. You have more experience." Lilly continued the count in her head, glancing over towards April every now and then.

"Yeah, but Dwayne never had this effect on me. Roger hasn't yet and..." April froze for a minute as it hit her. "Ohmygod!" She strung all the words together, realizing she probably sounded like Cathrine or someone like her (she shuddered at the thought). "This sounds completely crazy but...maybe you're falling for him?"

Lilly completely lost her count at this statement and had to go turn the stereo off. "...what?" she asked, realizing she probably sounded really dumb. "You mean like falling in l-" Her hand flew to her mouth as the meaning of April's statement clicked in her head. "That can't be it. I don't even know what it is, so how can it be what it is?"

April shrunk down a bit. "Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I don't know either, but it sure as hell sounds like it. From what I've heard anyway. And it's the only thing that makes sense to me."

Lilly sat on the apron of the stage, dumbfounded. Her eyes were open wide in disbelief as she seemed to think about it. "But isn't there, like, an age requirement for that or something?" It looked as if the more she tried to prove she wasn't falling for him, the more she did. "Or like...some kind of time limit? I've only been dating him, what, a week and a half? A little more? I can't love him April, I can't. Please tell me there's some other explanation," she plead to herself. The more in love with him she was, the less she'd be able to control herself.

April rolled her eyes. "You're asking me? I'm not a guru Lilly! Anyway...I'm guessing there's not. Hell, people talk about "love at first sight" and "that special someone you know right away" all the time. All those cliches have to come from somewhere, right?"

"I guess," Lilly whispered quietly. "Do I love him? Would it be bad if we...if we...well, you know? Ugh, I hate this...why does it have to be so hard, April?" She wasn't expecting an answer. She was just expecting to miraculously have it figured out. And what would it be like next time she saw him? She would most likely crumble into a million little pieces.

April bit her lower lip. "I don't know what to tell you Lilly. Maybe it's not something you can really figure out. It just comes to you. I don't know, because again, I'm not a guru or a shrink." She sighed a bit at the sight of her friend so confused. Damn it Dwayne she couldn't help but think, however irrational it was.

"I know you don't know the answer. I don't either. But you don't have anything to volunteer? Not a thing? I'm never going to see him in the same light ever again...somebody, please! Just make this easier!" Lilly grumbled, letting herself fall onto her side so she was lying down.

April winced a bit. "Lilly...I hate to tell you, but it's not really worth going crazy over. If you are falling in love with him...is that really the worst thing in the world? You know...if he loves you back, you'd probably be the first."

Lilly sat back up. Her voice softer this time, she whispered, "The first what? April...do you think that maybe he- maybe he loves me too? His first...?" The shy side of her became evident. It was crazy- the only explanation for the reason he was able to do this to her was the one April gave- but it would be ridiculously unfair if he didn't love her back.

"I definitely think it's possible. He's pretty crazy about you, that's for sure." She smiled a bit when she remembered the first time they had talked since the break up. Poor guy was so worried at first, but eventually, they started talking like the old friends they were. He seemed to drop Lilly's name quite often. "Anyway, you'd be the first he ever fell in love with."

Lilly blushed slightly, thinking of this possibility. "Wouldn't that be great, though?" She lay back down on the stage again, watching the curtains sway back and forth above her head. "If we both...well, it would describe what...April, I think I'm falling in love with him..."

April finally managed to smile. Lilly definitely seemed a lot happier. "I think so too. It's the only thing that really makes sense." The idea of it was too great. She'd be happy for Lilly and Dwayne if that was the case. She just hoped Lilly wasn't scared. That could kill it.
