You and Maureen were the known couple in the East Village. Some people were weirded out by it, considering Maureen's reputation. You had always known that she had been in many relationships before you. You knew that most of them failed pretty badly, but you were hopeful that you and her could stay as a couple for a while.

You knew Maureen was a performance artist, and she decided that she was going to make you stage manage her protest. Not exactly what you wanted to do, but at least you could spend some time with your girlfriend. Of course, the protest didn't go as planned. Cops showed up, and it became a major issue. You knew that some bullshit was gonna happen, so you weren't exactly suprised by it. After the protest, she suggested that you come hang out with her and her friends at the Life Cafe. You knew it was going to be trouble. I mean, you guys just almost got arrested. But, she manages to pressure you until you cave.

You arrive, and instantly everybody's causing a scene. Moving tables together, and terrorizing the waiters. You feel like strangling Maureen for suggesting the idea of coming here. Apparently, the so-called "enemy" of Avenue A, Benny had shown up to try and have dinner, and everyone was hellbent on causing a scene. While the chaos is all going on, Maureen rests her chin on your shoulder.

"Hey pookie. " Maureen grins. "Enjoying yourself?"
