Vitamin C was at the bar having a craft beer when B1 and B3 walked over and joined him. âYou know, you shouldnât be indulging without us,â they said. âYeah, I know guys, but Iâm just here waiting for my date Milkthistle to show up, then, we are heading out for dinnerâ, he replied. âAs long as you call on me and my brother tomorrow and let us know how the date wentâ, said B1 somewhat forlornly. Having never met Milkthistle, B3 asked: âWhatâs she like?â
âWell, see for yourself, sheâs just walked in.â said C, pointing at the door.
âWhoa!â, they both whispered, âSheâs gorgeous!â. âAny chance that sheâs got any cute friends that are single?â they asked hopefully. âAsk her yourselvesâ C said.
Milkthistle walked over smiling and they all started chatting. Eventually, the subject of single cute friends came up and she smirked as she said âAs a matter of fact, I do have a couple of friends whom you should meet boys.â âTheir names are Zinc and Copper, but they are a package deal, so if you are gonna go out, itâll have to be a double dateâ. B3 flushed, somewhat embarrassed and said âHaving your brother around on a date ainât the most romantic thing ever you know!â
Acetaldehyde was nursing a drink at the end of the bar and had overheard the conversation up until this point and interjected âI went on a date with Zinc last week and during said date, she wouldnât stop texting her sister Copper the whole time. It was the worst date Iâve ever had!â. Milkthistle replied glibly âItâs all about chemistry buddy!â.
Be Well.
