"We're budgeting for expenses," Aluminum said to Scandium. "Do you need anything for work? Maybe a new laptop?"

"No, I'm good," Scandium said modestly.

"Are you sure?" Aluminum asked. "Is there anything you want?"

"...a date with you?" Scandium whispered.

"...what!?" Aluminum asked.

"Ohmigosh Imsosorry Ididntmeanit!!" Scandium cried.

Aluminum smiled sweetly. "I'm sorry, Scandium. I didn't realize. If it's ME you want? You can have more than a date."

She looked deeply into Scandium's eyes...

And then, a radio announcer interrupted them with sports scores.

Scandium shut off her clock-radio and sighed sadly. Worst Monday morning wake-up ever, she thought.
