Welcome to Gaia! ::

Muse A and Muse B are in a committed relationship and very much in love. Almost a year ago, they decided that it was the right time to try and expand their family. Unfortunately, Muse A and Muse B have not been able to conceive. Before they explore adoption as an option, they decide to see a fertility specialist. After some testing and a lot of worrying, it turns out that the couple could possibly get pregnant with the help of fertility drugs. Muse A begins to take the prescribed medications, and the two continue to try having a baby.

On a follow-up visit to the doctor, routine blood work reveals that Muse A is now pregnant. The couple is thrilled! Even though it’s early, they immerse themselves in preparing for the baby’s arrival. When it comes time for Muse A to have their first sonogram. Muse B is of course as their side and so excited to catch a glimpse of their baby, their eyes glued to the monitor. The sonogram tech takes a deep breath before relaying what they’ve uncovered. Muse A and Muse B are about to become the proud parents of triplets.

After an untimely death, the family business is handed over to Muse A, a stubborn and spoiled twenty something who refuses any of the senior officials’ help or guidance. Muse B has been operating within the business for many years and knows the ins and outs, how to keep things running smoothly, and most importantly - very profitably. Despite Muse B’s generous offer to take them under their wing, Muse A refuses to take their advice. Muse B has devoted so much of their heart and soul to the operation, they can’t bear to see it crash and burn under the awful direction of Muse A.

Behind Muse A’s back, Muse B has been correcting all of their careless mistakes for nearly a month, and their patience with the new president is wearing thin. A nearly disastrous meeting with potential new investors is the last straw.

After Muse B saves the day and seals the deal, Muse A is forced to admit they need the guidance of Muse B to keep the company on top. Muse B agrees to do it, but now there are strings attached. Muse B will only help under the condition that Muse A generously pad their salary and hand over the title of CEO.

After several months of waiting for tour dates to be announced, Muse A has scored tickets to see their favorite musician in concert. Despite the concert being two states away, Muse A is determined not to miss it. Muse A and a friend drive for 2 days to make it to the venue on time. During the opening act, Muse A goes in search of Muse B’s tour bus in the venue parking lot. Their friend keeps watch as Muse A sneaks onto the unattended bus. Muse A quickly looks around for a souvenir to take back home with them. A guitar pick, an article of clothing Muse B always wears, anything. Security comes around and Muse A’s friend runs off, leaving Muse A stranded on the bus. The concert gets called off before the headliner can take the stage because the fans inside are getting too rowdy, so Muse B heads for the tour bus through a private exit. Muse B gets onto the bus and in a panic Muse A hides in one of the bunks. The bus drives off with Muse A on it…

What will happen when Muse B discovers Muse A hiding out on their tour bus?

Muse A, a single parent has put it off for as long as they possibly could. Every day, after school their child has begged Muse A to take them to the mall to see Santa and every day, Muse A has said they’ll think about it. This afternoon, Muse A’s little one has made a list as long as their arm of all the reasons they would make the Nice list this year and therefore should be able to see Santa. Touched by their kid’s resolve, Muse A finally caves and brings their deserving child to the crowded shopping center for a meet and greet with Mr. Claus. Overwhelmed by the shiny, over-sized decorations everywhere, the twinkling lights, and the thick crowd of shoppers surrounding them, Muse A and their kid get separated. Muse A panics when calling their child’s name yields no response, and goes in search of mall security for help, but there’s no sign of a security guard anywhere.

Muse B is working at “Santa’s workshop”, snapping photos of kids sitting on Santa’s lap, handing out candy canes and generally spreading holiday cheer to all who pass. A crying child wandering around by the entrance gate catches Muse B’s eye. Muse B steps away from their duties to help and they’re able to get the parent’s name from the kid so that they can make an announcement over the mall speakers. Hearing that their child is safe, a very relieved Muse A runs to Santa’s workshop to reunite with their loved one. Muse A and Muse B meet and Muse A can’t think of a way to thank Muse B enough. Muse B simply requests that Muse A (and their little one) have dinner with them sometime, Muse A happily agrees.

Muse A is driving on a dark road in the middle of the night, trying to get home before an impending thunderstorm. They peek up in the rearview mirror briefly, out of habit, though there’s no one behind them. When Muse A’s eyes return to the road, they have to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the human figure suddenly standing in the path of their vehicle. Muse A shifts into ‘park’ as calmly as possible and gets out of the car to make sure that the person standing in the road is alright. Muse B is quiet and staring off into space, but otherwise they seemed unharmed. Worried, Muse A insists that Muse B get in the car so they can be taken to the hospital. Muse A figures that Muse B must be in shock; they’re certainly shaken up. Muse B says nothing, but follows Muse A to the car and gets in. Muse A proceeds to drive straight on the road, sitting in silence with their eerily quiet companion. After a few minutes, Muse B murmurs that Muse A needs to “turn left”. Muse A is caught off guard, but they know that the hospital isn’t that way so they explain that they’re going to keep driving straight. As they draw near exit on the left, Muse B reaches over and yanks the wheel hard to force Muse A off the road and down the off ramp. Panicked because they could’ve been in a wreck, Muse A regains control of the car and demands an explanation. Muse B sits back in their seat calmly replying that they would have been in a terrible accident if they didn’t turn then. Muse A thinks that Muse B is crazy and swears that once they reach the hospital (via local streets) they’ll get as far away from Muse B as possible. When they arrive at the hospital, Muse A escorts Muse B in, though Muse B is resisting. Muse A struggles a bit to get Muse B inside, but the news story playing on the waiting room TV catches their attention before they can reach the nurse’s station. Sure enough, there’s a breaking news bulletin about a turned over truck and a massive fire on the road that Muse A was determined to take..
