Six weeks had passed. Leila and Greeley were getting ready to go to the New Religion concert. They decided to get ディナー before they went to the concert. While they were there, they saw that the members of New Religion had been eating at the restaurant, too. Leila said, "I can't believe it. It's them." Greeley said, "I think we should talk to them." Leila said, "I think so, too." They finished eating, and they walked up to New Religion. Leila said, "Hi, there. We're ファン of your music." Erin said, "Hello! That's great. What are your names?" Leila said, "I'm Leila." Greeley said, "And I'm her friend, Greeley." Paul said, "It's certainly nice to meet you." Lola asked, "What are your お気に入り songs?" Leila said, "I really like 'I Could Have Lied'. It's such a deep and meaningful song." Greeley said, "I like 'Broken and Mended'. I like the powerful lyrics." Carl said, "Great choices." Leila said, "By the way, Paul, I have a dog named after you." Paul said, "I'm flattered. What kind of dog is he?" She said, "According to a DNA test, he is a purebred German Shepherd. What I find strange is that he's blue. Apparently, German Shepherds can be blue." Carl said, "Yes, it's possible. My aunt had one back in the seventies." After a pause, Erin asked, "Do あなた have anything you'd like us to sign?" Leila said, "We didn't really bring anything." Greeley said, "I have some notebook paper with me." He got out the notebook paper, one for him and one for Leila. Erin, Paul, Carl, and Lola signed them. Leila said, "I have one もっと見る 質問 for Paul." Paul said, "Ask away." She asked, "Since you're an aromantic asexual, are あなた ever lonely?" He replied, "Not at all. I have a loving and supportive mother. I know she's not my biological mother, but as far as I'm concerned, she is my mother. I also have great friends. Friendship can be just as rewarding as romance, if not more." She said, "I never thought about it that way, but looking back on things, you're right." Before they departed, Erin said, "I hope あなた enjoy the concert." Leila and Greeley had a great time at the concert. When she went home, Leila told her aunt and uncle all about the concert. Her aunt said, "I'm glad あなた had a good time, dear."
It was summer. Jane and Paula were looking フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして to enjoying some time off from school. Neither one of them liked school much, mainly because of the bullying, but they did enjoy each other's company. Jane's Siberian Husky puppy, Shiloh, was growing up fast. Jane said, "Puppies grow up so fast." Paula said, "I know. When we first met, Shiloh was a tiny puppy." Jane said, "Yeah, and she's now getting close to the full size of a typical Siberian Husky." Jane and Paula reminisced about the months since they had met. They had grown very close. They made a pact that they would remain フレンズ for life, no matter what.
