Zachary Filmore who didn't know what to say when it comes to Liz, as
always, had started to blush again, added with the ammount of alcohol 
he'd been consuming made the crimson color brighter. 

'She's just so... sweet', Zac stuttered. He tried to extract words from
his brain to try and explain but he couldn't. So he kept on shrugging 
and shaking his head while his friends continuously laugh at him 
furiously. 

'You do know that if you took the offer, and they hit it big, you won't
have a chance to see her again?', Mikey quizzed him. 

'I....' 

'Why don't you ask her out?' 

'No...' 

'Like on a real date. Not just driving her around town back and forth
the garage to her place' 

'Mm...' 

'Have you ever really tried to tell her about this?' 

'I don't...', Zac was panicking for a while. The laughter grew quiet.
They each thought this kid needed loads of help. 

'It was OK with Jane Mead, why not with Liz?' 

'Jane was different' 

'What make them different? Don't they both have boobs?', Edward was
never succesful in trying to be serious. 

'Liz is more then just boobs', Zac protested. 

'Yeah, Green, that was lameness with no excuse', Mikey slapped Edward on
his arm. 

'Is this means that Jane was?', Stephen cheekily asked. 

'Jane was more easy. Not easy "easy". Liz is more...', Zac sighed again.


'People, we have a serious case of falling in love here. Please secure
the infected patient', Mikey laughed again. 

'Unpredictable?', helped Stephen. 

'Everything', Zac shook his head and sighed again. He inhaled his
burning cigarette deep and crushed the bud to the bottom of his glass. 

'Daisy was like that. Phew, i always got a hard on when she became so
unpredictable', Edward looked at the ceiling and sighed. He and Daisy 
splitted shortly after graduation two years ago. 

'That wasn't Daisy, dude. It's your perverted dirty little head of
yours', Zac gave the 'you dope' look at Edward. 

'Whatever', Edward gulp the contain of his glass down. Although he
didn't want to admit it to his friends, he missed Daisy and that he's 
broken hearted. 

On Wednesday morning Stephen called the girls. Telling them they're
going to see some new people playing drum on the weekend. 

'You kicked Zac out the Super Truck?!', Liz was shouting from the other
end before Stephen could even explain anything. 

'No, no, no. Nobody is kicking anybody out. We had a talk last week and
he said he had to go. He got better offer' 

'What talk? Am I the only one who didn't know about this? Why are you
guys leaving me behind? How come i didn't know?' 

"No, Daisy only knew this morning too. Calm down, Liz, for heaven's
sake. It's not like we killed Zac or something', Stephen nearly laugh 
to hear her reaction. 'He only just decided to go yesterday evening. He 
didn't have the time to tell you girls. Believe me, i was as surprised 
as you are. He had told us about the plan and i told him that if he 
wanted to go we'll have someone to fill his place so he mustn't worried 
about us. I didn't know he had to leave for LA this morning' 

'L.A. ?' 

'You know how he hated goodbyes. He told me to say goodbye to you guys.
He'll call me again sometimes soon' 

'What is he going to do in L.A.?' 

'Becoming famous, Liz. Isn't that cool?' 

'How?' 

'He said the band is Sinking Ed. Remember those punks? Pudman's friends.
We saw them on stage on last year's festival. He's been playing with 
them for quite some times now. I think it's only fair to give Zac the 
chance to develop some more serious career. They're going to try and 
get them signed in for a big record deal' 

'Where is he going to stay? It won't be that easy to get famous even by
going to L.A.' 

'He didn't tell me. But don't worry. We are talking about Zac here, he's
going to be OK', Liz would have to believe Stephen. He hung around with 
Zac since kindergarten. 

Zac didn't return for thanksgiving and christmas that year. But he
called Stephen to say that he's alright. The next year they heard 
Sinking Ed signed a contract with a recording company and the remaining 
parts of the Super Truck partied all night.
