"Well how about that middle eastern girl you hang out with?" Gloria asked. "Zuleika, her name was?"
Ricky nodded, as his limbs and neck grew more slender. "That's right."
"Well, we can bring her. She's nice, and I doubt she'd try and get to Danny before you, as she's clearly head over heals for that fellow she always hangs out with."
"Oh no, Zuleika says they're just friends."
"Please, they might be fooling themselves, but they're not fooling me. So we get Zuleika and her 'just friend', and we got ourselves a group. Now the question is the location. Now this town has two places in town we could go. Now Nova's this new place downtown. It's pretty hip, but it attracts a lot of the more stuck up folks and I personally can't stand the music. The Spiked Pit may be more intimidating. It's the primary hang out for the goth crowd, but it's starting to see a wider array of regulars. It's would be pretty hardcore for you, hun, but I think it'd be a better place to let loose for Danny. Neither's a perfect fit, but it's your pick, Ricky."
Ricky fidgeted in his seat, overwhelmed by Gloria's quickly evolving plan. "Well..." he said finally.
