Part 1 Lauren switched on her computer and logged into her favourite chatroom. There were so many people that finally after a few tries, she managed to get in.

She searched through the list of people, looking for her ‘boyfriend’, who named himself Dragon. Spotting his name, she typed, Hi Dragon!

Hi! Dragon typed back, I haven’t chatted with you for a week already!

I know, Lauren sighed as she typed, biting her lip trying to think of something interesting to talk about.

Lauren had often wondered what Dragon’s real name was; he had never told her, and she never asked either. What’s your real name? she typed. There was a long pause.

Finally Dragon wrote back, You’re a big fan of the Moffatts, right? Yes, why? Was he answering her question or not? What if I told you I was Scott Moffatt? Dragon typed, adding a little smiley face at the end. Get real, Dragon Lauren typed, looking angrily at the computer screen.

But I really am Scott! Dragon protested.

Then prove it. came the reply.

Meanwhile, in the hotel room Scott was in... “Clint, how should I prove to her that I really am Scott Moffatt?” Scott asked. “It’s simple, really, just give her a call since she lives here in Singapore too!” Clint told him. “Yeah...” Scott mused, “Thanks!”

I can prove it to you, Lauren! He typed on the keyboard. Give me your phone number, and I’ll call you. Lauren knew very well The Moffatts were in Singapore and she was determined to go to the autograph signing session the next day.

Phone number? she thought, everything seemed to fit in now, if Scott was in Singapore, then he could call her really easily. My phone number is 4538722, call me now. Lauren typed in eagerly. (In case you’re wondering, she has two phone lines)

Lauren waited in anticipation for her phone to ring. In a minute, the phone rang. “Hello?” Lauren practically shouted into the phone. “Hi, is that you, Lauren? This is Scott.” Lauren almost fainted. She was talking to the guy she was crazy about! “Scott? As in Scott Moffatt? Oh wow! This is so great! I can’t believe it!” “Yeah, it is me. If you want even more proof, meet me after the autograph signing session tomorrow, okay?” Scott asked her. “Alright. See you tomorrow! But I still can’t believe it’s true!”

The next morning...

The next morning, Lauren spent two whole hours getting ready, worried about what Scott might think of her appearance. The autograph signing session was going to be held at HMV and as she knew that there would be hordes of screaming girls from previous experiences with another band, she wanted to get there as early as possible. Taking up her back pack and slinging it over her shoulder, Lauren made her way out of the apartment to HMV.

Lauren waited for three hours before spotting the guys and at that time, there were already lots of fans practically piled on top of each other(okay, so maybe I’m exaggerating). As soon as she got to the counter, she told Scott, “Hi Scott, I’m Lauren.” Scott looked up at her and everything inside his mind disappeared, only thinking, She’s beautiful! And yes, Lauren was beautiful, with long, wavy jet-black hair that fell softly on her shoulders, hazel eyes that left boys glued to the spot with their mouths wide open...

“Meet you later when everything’s over, okay? And one more thing, you’re beautiful,” was all that Scott could say. Lauren was on cloud nine after she heard what he said. After the crowd had dispersed, Scott walked over to where Lauren was waiting for him. Never had he expected Lauren to be so...so...he didn’t know what word to describe her either. “Hi Lauren,” Scott said dreamily, “My name is...” What am I saying? he thought, of course sshe already knows my name! “Anyway,” he continued, “I really didn’t expect you to be so...so...” “Beautiful?”she finished. “Erm, yeah, beautiful...” They got along extremely well, just chatting with each other over some Perrier water. “Free tonight?” Scott asked her. “Yeah, why?” “Nothing, just wanted to ask you if you want to go out for a...for a... I mean on a date,” came the reply. “Sure! I’d be thrilled!”

Meanwhile, the triplets were sort of spying on Scott and Lauren, each holding a camera, waiting to ‘catch them in the act’. The 2 lovebirds had dinner at (gulp!) McDonalds! But of course also included was a romantic walk by the beach, where things were beginning to ‘happen’.

They strolled on the sand, hand-in-hand, both looking happy. They stopped to rest on a bench, when Scott told Lauren, “I really like you...” his words broke off as he swept her up into a passionate kiss. No words express what Lauren was feeling now, and the same for Scott too. “This has been the best night of my life,” Scott whispered softly into her ear. “Me too,”

As Scott walked Lauren home, she asked, “When will you be going?” “I wish never, but I have to. I’m leaving on Monday.” Monday?Lauren thought frantically, That’s just the day after tomorrow! Suddenly Lauren realized that she had only one more day left with Scott and that she better spend that short period of time wisely!

On Sunday, well, they went out again, taking pictures, treasuring every moment they had together. They had exchanged email addys vowing to email each other everyday! Lauren felt sick as she thought of what it would be like without Scott by her side, it made her want to cry. “Well, I’ll be leaving tomorrow Lauren,” Scott said looking into her eyes, “Remember: I’ll always love you.”

Part 3

It’s Monday. Scott’s leaving today. Those were the words that came into Lauren’s mind once she awoke. Scott’s flight was at 2:00pm and Lauren was going to see him off at the airport. She knew this was gonna be the saddest day of her life.

She arrived at the airport and immediately spotted Scott standing facing the entrance, probably looking out for her. She ran over to him, tears streaming down her face. “Don’t cry, Lauren.” Scott said. “ I’m only going for one day, and besides, I’ve taken up permanent residency here! And so have my whole family!I was only told that a minute ago!” “You have?” Lauren brightened up. “They have?Wow! That’s great!” “And then after that, “ Scott continued, “I’ll come back, then I gotta go again for a month. Then I’ll return!” Lauren couldn’t believe her ears. “Scott!” Scott’s dad motioned for him to go to the gate. “Bye Scott, see you day after tomorrow.” “Bye Lauren, I’ll always love you.” They shared another kiss, then Scott walked towards the gate waving good bye, and so did Lauren.

After Scott returned from his one month tour, he and Lauren were officially an item! Both of them couldn’t be happier.
