Wendy hated to admit that the part she dreaded most about the Lost Boys’ shows was seeing Tiara. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to hang out with her, it was that Tiara didn’t want to hang out with Wendy, which was painfully obvious. Every time she tried to reach out an olive branch with a drink, it was usually accepted with a sideways glare, but at least it was a start. “Hey!” she greeted with her best smile, extending a glass with a bright red liquid inside. “I, um, thought you might want one of these. I think it’s the special tonight or something? You know, while we wait for the boys to start.”

Though she thought things couldn’t get much more complicated with their friends, there was Wendy’s name once again on her phone, and truths being told in her name. While she didn’t consider this a gift, as the writer had put it, it was shocking, to say the least. Never had she thought that Tiara would betray Peter in the way that she did, with one of his best friends. While Tiara had implied that Wendy didn’t know the meaning of a best friend through her criticism of who she had put on her list, it was clear from her actions that Peter couldn’t be one of hers. If she had felt awful for one of their friends having a crush on her, this must have crushed Tiara on a level she didn’t know possible.

Wendy had given it a few days for things to simmer before approaching the other girl, and she wanted to make it clear that she hadn’t come in spite or to try and rub it in her face. With a timid knock on her door, she took a step back and waited for Tiara to open. “I come in peace!” she exclaimed, holding up her hands as Tiara’s face came into view. “I just wanted to see how you were doing, and talk.”

If the last conversation between Tiara and Wendy went poorly, Wendy was sure this one would probably be worse. Not only had Peter told her that he didn’t want her seeing Phil any longer, but it was made even worse by it becoming both incredibly public and also intertwined with something Tiara evidently had going on with one of the boys. Who, though, Wendy had no idea, but she was determined to try and get to the bottom of it. Not here, obviously, at the bonfire with all of their friends and the entire city of Animania in one place, but she would. 

Wendy wasn’t even sure how to approach Tiara. There was no good way to come out and address that Peter had seemed to make their choice in the impossible love triangle, or so the blog had put it, or that she now knew that Tiara was with one of their friends. She supposed it was lucky, then, that they’d been practically thrown together in the bathroom of the boardwalk, Tiara nearly knocking Wendy over on her way to the paper towels. “Shoot, I--Tiara!” she exclaimed, washing her hands quickly before the other girl could run away. “Tiara, wait! I wanted to--we should ... can we talk, please? I’ve been trying to find you all night, and I called, but ... just please, wait.”

Wendy wasn’t really sure what to say. She supposed Billy was right, that Tiara didn’t like her because she felt like she was replacing her. What Wendy could never grasp, though, was why there couldn’t be room for both of them. “I’m not ... that’s never what I was trying to do,” she said slowly with a shake of her head. “I don’t want to replace you. I don’t understand why we can’t coexist. I have never, ever wanted to take your friends or your safe space.” There didn’t have to be competition, but somehow, Tiara found a way to make it one. Why? Wendy wasn’t sure. Their lives would have been so much easier from the beginning if they’d just agreed to be allies. “What are you talking about, the way Peter looks at me? Have you seen the way he looks at you?” she said, letting out an incredulous laugh. “I was stuck in an elevator with him for hours and nothing happened. He doesn’t like me, Tiara. I don’t think anything will ever come of that.”
