"NO!" Lydia cried out in shock. "But then it'll be my fault if I don't get them! And besides, what if my face gets all wet from all the kisses and...what if I drown in all of that??? Oh well, they won't want to kiss me anyway, because I'm so stupid and ugly
..."
Kyle frowned looking to Aliana. “Ugh...I give up...”
Aliana frowned, and shrugged her shoulders. "Well, it was worth a try... to be honest, I don't think she's ever been interested in anybody. And, even if she has, she's completely lacked the confidence to act on it - and, she's convinced that she doesn't have time for it as a doctor anyway. Oh well, perhaps it wasn't to be
..."
Lydia had buried herself in a corner - and started crying her eyes out.
Kyle smirked. “Maybe She should try Andy.” He said with a laugh.
"Oh, no, I wouldn't wish that on
anybody ..." Aliana responded, feeling slightly disgusted. "Especially not Lydia... he'll mess up all the time, and every time he does, she'll just blame herself for it... I'm not saying it's

..."
Lydia, however, had apparently overheard bits of their conversation. "It's my fault Andy's not interested in me
..."
"Um...I bet Squeaks would give you a kiss." Kyle said not wanting to hear more crying. "I bet he'd love to."
"Yeah, but he's just a hamster..." Lydia sobbed. "It's not really the same..."
"Yeah, but hamsters are cute," Aliana pointed out. "Why don't you take him out of the cage and stroke him for a bit? It'll probably help take your mind off it for a bit... if Kyle will let you, that is..."
"Yeah, you can. Just don't lose him. Or let him near Nestor." Kyle said with a smirk. "He'd just squash him!"
"I think we're safe... Dad's with Tom," Aliana ensured Kyle.
Aliana then reached into the cage in order to reach for Squeaks; however, the poor hamster was nowhere to be seen.
"Umm, he's in his igloo," Lydia pointed out. He dashed for cover when Kyle said your dad's name..."
Kyle laughed at this.”Least he’s smart. “It’s okay Squeaks! He’s not here!”
