Double Triangle 2: My Crazy Valentine

Remember what happened to Vince back in "When Rivals Go Too Far"?  Well...he's one of the two main characters in this stand alone story.  Will he succeed in getting Tiffany?  Or will he settle for Lena?  As for Alejandro, he's on the hunt for his own date for the couple's ball, which took place on Valentine's Day.  But will he ever get one?  Find out right here!

Anyway...11 days ago and a day before the Couples' Ball...

Love is in the air...And people in town are falling in love...

But Vince has a problem.  He wants to show Tiffany his affection. But this may be his last chance to do so!

But Alejandro has a solution: They each find a date for the Couples' Ball (always held on Valentine's Day) before midnight, otherwise they would have to go with the single girls to their party outside of town that same day. The men reluctantly agree!

It looks like Alejandro went all out on the candy and roses!

Vince Isn't that a bit much?
Alejandro No. Besides, I believe women love bigger bouquets! As some would say, the bigger they are, the better chance I'll have at winning women over!
Trevor More like facing your ex-girlfriend's wrath at double-crossing than getting women!

The rest of the guys laugh.

Alejandro Very funny, boys. But with these roses and this chocolate, I'm very sure to win a woman in no time!
Vince As long as it's not Tiffany, I'm cool with that!

So the competition is on!

So Alejandro decided to pay Rose a visit first. But instead, he finds that Wesley has found her first as he presented Rose with a bouquet of pink roses!

Rose For me?
Wesley (giving her the roses) Yep! And I really hope we can be boyfriend and girlfriend!
Rose (giggly) I love the roses! That's so sweet of you! Thank you! Of course I'll be your girlfriend!
Alejandro was shocked! Someone else stole his ex-girlfriend!

Alejandro (to himself) This sucks royally! I was supposed to be the one winning Rose back! Not some other guy with only a half dozen pink roses! Me! Oh well! Life goes on! Time to see what other beautiful fish are at the sea!

Meanwhile, Trevor, the new guy, wins Natasha over!

Alejandro pays Misty a visit next!  Again, another guy beats him to her!

Meanwhile, Claude wins another girl over!

Alejandro strikes out again!

Meanwhile, Vince pays Tiffany a visit to tell her his true feelings!  But his last chances blow out like a flame on a birthday candle when he sees Tiffany with Garth!  But nonetheless...

Vince wants to talk to Tiffany anyway. So Tiffany reluctantly agrees to listen to what he has to say.

Meanwhile, Alejandro tries to ask Emily to the Couples' Ball, but Duncan's sudden appearance makes her change her mind all at once.

Alejandro (to himself) Not even close. This is seriously irritating! Onto the next lady!

So he visits Serena next, but that was pretty much pointless, since she has Tim!

Alejandro (to himself) Seriously?! REALLY?! COME...ON!!

Meanwhile, Tiffany finally makes Vince understand that she likes him as a friend and not as a boyfriend!  She also tells him that there are plenty of other girls in town and he should go to them!

Vince, feeling rejected, reluctantly accepts defeat at last.  But what will he do now?

Meanwhile, at a Fashion Fever Boutique, Lena talks to the girls about what she could do about her feelings for Vince.

Clarisse Perhaps you can tell him your feelings right away!
Lena Are you sure? He likes Tiffany a lot!

A short time later, Alejandro arrives at the shop.
Alejandro So Lena, how a date to the Couples' Ball?

Lena (unfazed) No thanks. But thanks for the offer!
Alejandro (disappointed) Okay. But don't say I didn't offer!

Clarisse (after Alejandro leaves) Anyway, about Vince, it wouldn't hurt to tell him anyway.
Lena You're right! I'll do it! But since Alejandro needs a date for the dance, could you consider in my place?
Clarisse I'll think about it.

 Anyway, Alejandro arrives at the Hangout Room where Marshall works.

Marshall Oh! Hi, Alejandro! Anything you need?
Alejandro (sighs) I need a date for the Couples' Ball. Could you help me out?
Marshall (cheerfully) Sure, man! It may not be cheap, but I'll do what I can! But meet me outside in thirty, okay?
Alejandro (sighs) Okay.

Thirty minutes later, Marshall and Alejandro meet outside the vet clinic to chat about the price of the finding of the dates.

Marshall (sighs) My company's not a dating business, but since you need a date for the dance, it's going to cost you extra.
Alejandro (sighs) How much?
Marshall (clearly) One thousand dollars. In advance.
Alejandro (outraged) ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS?!
Marshall Hey, I have to help the business run smoothly, too! Besides, either you take my offer, or do the whole deal yourself. You're not going to find another inspector anywhere else in town, though. So one thousand dollars. Take it or leave it.
Alejandro (sighs, giving Marshall the money) Fine. Here's the thousand dollars. But you better do your job. Or I want my money back!
Marshall (accepting the money) Always!

Meanwhile, Vince, heartbroken, decided to walk away as Tiffany and Garth begin to make out.

So after Vince does, he decided that it's time to give up on Tiffany and take her advice.

Vince (sadly) I guess it's time to give up and move on. Besides, I can't chase Tiffany forever.

 Just as he says that, Lena arrives!  Turns out she's got something to say!

Lena Vince, what's wrong?
Vince Tiffany rejected me...again. I can't do this to her anymore. It wouldn't be fair to either one of us, let alone Garth. So I decided to give up on her and find someone else to give my heart to.
Lena Well, whatever happens, I'm here for you. But can I tell you something, though?
Vince Sure.

Lena I know you won't believe this, but I had feelings for you since middle school! And I've been waiting to tell you this since back then, but I decided not to wait anymore! After all, I'm telling you this, Vince: I'm in love with you! If you don't care about that, I'll understand!

Vince (hesitant) Well...if you're up for it...

Vince Then I'm in for it!

 Lena (surprised) Really? Are you sure, then?
Vince (shyly) Well...yeah!

Vince (showing Lena the bouquet and box of chocolates) Since this is a little early, happy Valentine's day! These are for you!
Lena (surprised) Really, Vince?
Vince Yep!

Lena Thank you, Vince! That's incredibly sweet of you!

She leans over to kiss his cheek.

Vince So, can I be your date for the Couples' Ball?
Lena Absolutely! I love to!

Meanwhile, after two hours of waiting for Marshall to come back with results, the inspector finally arrives.

Alejandro (impatiently) Got anything?
Marshall (laughs) Wow. Aren't you uppity tonight? But anyway, yes, I have the results! But do you really want to know?

Alejandro (sighs) Yes. Bring it on!
Marshall (laughs again) Okay, Casanova! Hold your horses. Here it goes.

So anyway, after reading the list, the results were that only five girls (will not be mentioned until later on, maybe) were interested in being his date for the Couples' Dance.

Alejandro (disappointed) That's all? I thought there would be more than that, considering how handsome I am!
Marshall (sighs) Well, nothing I can do. Sorry! You get what you paid for.

Marshall But anyway, gotta go! Hope at least one girl will be your date! Good luck! See ya!
Alejandro (sighs) Yeah. See ya.

After Marshall leaves, in a fit of rage, Alejandro throws the chocolates and the roses on the ground, believing there is no hope for him.

Alejandro (angrily) AAARRRGGGHHH!!! I CAN'T TAKE THIS! IS THERE ANY WOMAN OUT THERE WHO WOULD BE MY DATE FOR THE STUPID DANCE?! THIS SUCKS!

Just then Clarisse shows up.

Clarisse You know, if you calm down maybe I'll be your date for the dance.
Alejandro (hopefully) Really?
Clarisse (sighs) Yes, really. But just this once! And only once! I need a break from going to the Single Party this year!
Alejandro Okay, then. I accept.

Meanwhile, Rose and Wesley, finally together, begin to wonder what was going on with Alejandro.

Rose Speaking of that jerk, I wonder if he has a date for the Couples' Ball after all?
Wesley (smiling) Knowing his dumb luck, he probably does already.

Wesley At least we don't have to worry about him coming between us because I have you. And guess what, Rose? I love you!
Rose I love you, too, Wes!

Then they begin to kiss, indicating the start of a new relationship!

The end

Here's a current update:  Alejandro's date at the Couples' Ball didn't go so well.  Clarisse, his date, got bored of him when he stared at her "you know whats".  She called him a pig at the end of the night and regretted saying that she'll go to the party with him.  Poor girl.  Alejandro should've went with the single girls :(

But at least Vince and the other guys and their dates had fun that time!  :)

Anyway...See you next time!  :)
