The Fated: Episode 2

"Hello, you're WKSB The Hits 18th caller- that means you win!"

"Yay! Ha ha."

"What's your name sweetheart?"

"Erica."

"Well Erica you and a guest will be getting tickets to see Lady Gaga in concert next week, and a fifty dollar gift certificate to Freddy's Bar and Grill located in the downtown metropolitan area."

"Ooo."

"Just let us know- what's your favorite station?"

"97.1 The Hits!"

"And out to the Daughtry song. Clear."

"Thank God. I got time for a cigarette break, Tom?"

"No, after this we go straight to entertainment news and then traffic and commercials."

"God damn it. I could really use a cigarette."

"It's alright Dave, it's only a few more minutes."

"I've just been under a lot of stress."

"I don't know why. You're just helping your neighbor move. She hasn't been there for more than a half a year."

"Eight months."

"Did you even really hang out with her?"

"Never really got a chance. She has a boyfriend in Ohio."

"Ohio? Who the hell leaves Florida to go to Ohio?"

"Nah, he's from Ohio- but it don't matter. He's a jackass, let me tell you that."

"How do you know?"

"Her Facebook."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. OK listen it's not that bad- I've hung out with her with others before in the apartment building. Little get togethers, and I like her OK? I'd love to hang out with her- but it's not going to happen."

"Why not?"

"This new guy who moved in. Scott. Totally her type, and he's moving in fast despite she has a boyfriend."

"Shit, we're back on in 10...5, 4, 3, 2-"

"Great song from Daughtry, now let's get to your E-news. Reports are coming in that J-Lo might be pregnant. Witnesses have claimed she's been seen with a little bump in her belly, but her people have all denied to comment. Actor Russell Crowe's new indie movie is getting rave reviews. He stars as a mental patient in One Last Breath- based on a true story of the abuse of a mental patient right here in Florida. Universal Studios has announced plans to expand the movie into more theaters. And actress Lindsay Lohan back in the news, this time with a new movie underway. No word on what the movie is about, but Sony Pictures and Tim Burton are said to be in talks. That's your latest E-news, now to our Eye in the Sky- Krissy what's the traffic look like?"

"And cut your mic. We're clear. So this douchebag has no morals? Talking it up with a chick who's got someone."

"She's moving out because she's moving in with the boyfriend. But I just have this feeling, ya know? That they're gonna break up and she's gonna wind up with Scott."

"Why do you care? You never hung out with her."

"I wanted to, Tom. But every time she asked me to, I was working here."

"If you really wanted to go, you could've called off. I would've understood."

"Yeah and would I be sitting in this chair now with this job if I had?"

"Probably not. Chris would've gotten it."

"I can't do two things at once, Tom. If I could, I would."

"Oh shit, I forgot we had a commercial spot for you. You got 20."

"I could've made a better friend, but my morals got in the way- ya know? I didn't want to tread on her boyfriend's shit."

"10 seconds."

"Ugh, I hate these ads."

"5, 4, 3, 2, on air."

"Ya know when I need a good break from my long work day, I like to go home and play with my dog. But not all dogs grow the same, and that's why I use Purina dog chow's formula to keep my dog consistently growing. Other dog foods don't have the same vitamins that my dog needs, and without those he could wind up bigger than he should be. But with Purina I don't have to worry, and their new flavors I just know he loves. So make your pet just as happy as mine, and use Purina dog chow- sold in grocery stores near you."

"And we're out."

"God damn, I need a cigarette."

"No time now. And Dave, sometimes you just have to work for it. I mean, is this girl really everything you're making her out to be?"

"I doubt it."

"What makes her so great?"

"A lot in common. I like talking to her, ya know- she's fun. She can be serious, she cannot be serious. We like a lot of the same stuff. She'd fit in with my friends if she ever met them, let me tell ya that."

"Seriously? You can find chicks like that all over the city."

"We have similar life beliefs too."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want to call them religious, but I guess they are in a way. We believe in fate."

"Fate?"

"That everything happens for a reason."

"Maybe this Scott guy needs to break her and her boyfriend up, so you two can wind up together in the end."

"I don't see that happening. I see her with Scott and us no longer talking. I mean, I've been here so much working on that new radio program. I've been a bit AWOL with her. And this one chick has an issue with my friend and I- and I'm pretty sure we've been blacklisted a bit now."

"You tried to stop it?"

"Indirectly. There's this chick that's into Scott, but it's not working. She's afraid to say anything to him. Or even clue him in."

"We're on in 15. Well, who knows man."

"I know. I know they'll wind up together."

"10..."

"I know I should give up and focus on my career."

"...5..."

"And congratulate them when they get married."

"Live."

"Hey hitters, we got a brand new song for you guys- it's Telephone, by Lady Gaga."

"Mic off, and out. Seriously? When they get married?"

"I just have a feeling that no matter what I do, I can't break it Tom. I can tell you but it won't stop anything. Besides, I'm way too much of a partier. I don't think she even drinks."

"She doesn't drink? What the hell does she do for fun?"

"Like I know."

"You'll get over her, man. I'm sure."

"Hey, I guess it's all good as long as she's happy, huh?"

"Such a pussy way to look at it."

"Ah go to hell, Tom."

"I'm already headed there. Fate is taking me."

"I wouldn't doubt it."

"You've got 30 seconds."

"You think I should tell her?"

"What? That you're a freaky stalker? Nah, let it go. Let her be happy with whatever douchebag she's gonna wind up with. You'll find a girl better than her, Dave. 10 seconds."

"I don't know. I guess I'll just have to wait for fate and see."

"5, 4, 3, 2- on air."

"I love that song. We've got more coming from your favorite artists, but that is it for DJ Dave here at The Hits..."
