"Good Morning Tampa!" Heath said with a burst of energy. "Hope you all are doin
mighty fine today. I know I am."
"Wow! Who woke up on the right side of the bed this morning?" Autumn cut in.
"Me! I'm just in such a good mood today! Can you believe it?"
"No, why, might I ask?"
"Well, I went on a date with this amazing woman last night. She's so nice, and so sweet,
and so humble, and so hot!"
"Oh,'' Autumn felt her heart sink. "Who is this amazing woman?"
"Her name's Rachel. If you're listening Rachel, I cant wait to see you tonight."
"Have you known her long?"
"For a few months. I met her at a confrence one time and we've keep in touch."
"Oh, so you were seeing her behind my back, were ya?" she said, hoping it sounded
playful.
"Nah, I'm not like that. We were just friends. When (sigh) you broke up with me, she
helped me through. And now, well, she's my new girl."
"Congrats Heathy. Well, let's get this morning started shall we?" She started playing the
music. "So, do you like her better than me?" she asked, off-air.
"Don't turn my relationships into a competition," he said strictly.
"Sorry, I was just wondering."
"I like you Autumn, I still love you in a way. But I am in love with Rachel. She's the air
that I breathe. I'm sorry to say, but I never felt this way about you. Belive me, you're a great
friend, but that's it. You were the one who said it was better this way, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember." 'He'll be sorry when I'm making my millions with Nick,' she thought
to herself.

Nick walked into Studio 23 in Cedar Park Studios, five minutes late. He was humming
'I'm Walkin On Sunshine' as he turned the doorknob. "Sorry I'm late guys. I forgot to turn my
alarm on after my date last night," he said, hoping they'd ask questions.
"Oh, ho! Nicky had a date? Who? Who? Tell. Tell," Brian egged on.
"None other than Autumn herself." The guys looked around at each other. They all
knew Nick had a thing for Autumn. They just hoped that he, and she, knew what they were
doing. They didn't want this to effect Autumns career....positively or negatively.
"Um, congrats Nick," Brian broke the eerie silence. "Well, we have a lot of work to do
today. We'd better get started."
