Photo Story: Wolfgang Meets the Gang, and Other Happenings (part 1 of 3)
September 6, 2006
Annike: Oh look, a new boy!
Roxanne: Hey, everyone, I want you to meet someone new around here, his name is Wolfgang.
All: Hi!
Wolfgang (shyly): Hi.
Roxanne: Where is everybody else? I wanted to introduce Wolfgang to the whole group.
Annike: Rayna and Shelby are over there... *points in one direction* ...and Alex and Toby are over there... *points in another direction
Roxanne: Thanks, come on Wolfgang, I'll take you to meet them!
Wolfgang: Okay.
Elsewhere...
Shelby: What did you want to talk to me about?
Rayna: Well, you're the only one around here with an actual boyfriend so I just wanted some advice.
Shelby: You mean, Alex and you aren't...you know...?
Rayna: I don't think so...that's what I'm not sure about. I'm so new at this kind of thing, to be honest I really don't know what I'm doing.
Shelby: I see. You've never gone out with anyone before?
Rayna: Never. There really aren't many oppurtunities for love when you live on a pirate ship.
Shelby: I hadn't thought of that, but it makes perfect sense.
Rayna: So...what do I do now? I mean, Alex and I went out on a date and I really like him but...
Shelby: But, what?
Rayna: How do I know if he likes me?
Shelby: If you are asking me to explain guys then you're asking the wrong person! If I knew how to explain how they think and why I could make a fortune writing books.
Rayna: *sigh* I guess I'll just have to muddle through then...
Shelby: Just like everyone else, that's part of the fun...and frustration.
Rayna: But...
Shelby: No buts! Relax...let things happen as they happen, don't rush. And most important, you've got to have confidence in yourself.
Rayna: Okay...I'll try to relax. But it's hard!
Shelby: I know it is, but he'll make his feelings known soon enough, just give it time.
Roxanne: Hey you two, this is Wolfgang, he's new here.
Shelby: Hi, nice to meet you!
Rayna: Hi!
Wolfgang (shyly): Hi.
Roxanne: I'm going to take him over to meet the boys, we haven't seen them yet.
Shelby: Have fun, tell Toby I said hi.
Meanwhile...
Toby: I've been meaning to ask you, how was your date?
Alex: It was really fun, I think I really like Rayna.
Toby: Have you told her that yet?
Alex: Well...no...
Toby: Did you hold her hand?
Alex: Um...no.
Toby: Did you kiss her?
Alex: No dude, it was the first date!
Toby: You don't usually hesitate like this, what's the problem?
Alex: I didn't want to rush in this time without thinking. Besides, I already hurt her feelings once, I don't want to do it again.
Toby: That's very considerate...but don't go too slow or she'll think you don't care.
Roxanne: Hey guys, meet Wolfgang, he's new. Wolfgang, this is Toby right here and over there is Alex, he's my twin brother.
Toby: Alright, a new guy! Nice to meet you.
Alex: Hey, dude. Welcome to the house. Listen, I'd like to stay and chat, but there's something I need to go do. We'll talk later Wolfgang, but it is nice to meet you...sorry to run off.
Wolfgang: That's okay.
Alex: Later, dude...and thanks.
Toby: No problem. Good luck!
Toby: So, Wolfgang, tell me about yourself.
Wolfgang: Um...there's not much to tell.
Toby: I doubt that, everyone has a lot more to tell then they usually want to admit. When you feel like telling me you can, there's no hurry.
Roxanne: Wolfgang, I've been meaning to ask you, where are your glasses?
Wolfgang: Oh...they broke.
Roxanne: Oh dear, can you see okay?
Wolfgang: I put my contacts in, but I don't like them...I like my glasses better.
Toby: We'll have to see about getting them fixed. Has Roxanne shown you around inside yet?
Wolfgang: Not yet.
Toby: Then let's go together, if that's okay.
Roxanne: sounds good to me, come on!
Back with Shelby and Rayna...
Rayna: But Shelby, you and Toby click so well. You two make all this love stuff look so easy!
Shelby: Toby's a special case. Believe, it's never been this easy for me until now. I feel very lucky.
Rayna: Do you love him?
Shelby: Love is a very strong word and feeling...I'm not ready to decide that yet. See, I don't rush! One day at a time, that's my motto.
Rayna: Okay. Thanks, Shelby...I didn't know who else to talk to, but I'm glad I decided to confide in you. I feel better now.
Shelby: Look, here comes Alex...
Alex: Hey, what's up?
Shelby: Nothing. We're just talking.
Alex: Rayna...um...will you take a walk with me?
Rayna (glances quickly at Shelby): I'd love to.
Shelby (gives Rayna a quick thumbs up): Have fun!
Alex: Thanks, come on Rayna...
