As the sun set, Nettie couldn't help but notice the beauty of the magical land as the train rolled by. The fantastic fantasy-like atmosphere was so alluring that she felt caught in this glorious world. She turned to say something to Tea only to find she wasn't there. Instead a lovely old couple happily sitting there holding hands.

"Hello dearie, beautiful evening, isn't it?" The old woman gave a grin, to show off beautiful, pearly white teeth. Her husband looked out the window to his right, gazing at the sky.

"Oh. Umm, yes, it is..." Nettie couldn't bury the disappointment and regret in her voice.

"Are you alright, darling?" The old lady questioned softly, letting go of her husband's hand to walk and sit by Nettie. He continued to gaze at the sky. Nettie held her own hands in her lap and shook her head a little.

"Not really, no. I'm just... confused, ma'am. About my feelings." She sighed.

"Ah, young people, always confused about this and that. Luckily, you've got an old bag like me to help you!" She chuckled as her face lit up with amusement. "Go ahead, tell me what's confusing you."

"I met a person over text, and became very interested in them. But they're not the person I suspected, which isn't a bad thing, I think I might like them more, but I didn't know I liked people like them. Because I came all the way from Oregon to see them, but they don't know exactly, and they're mad at me for some reason—" She looked over to the elder, who had a perplexed look.

"Them...?" She tipped her head slightly to the side.

"Uh, girls, ma'am." Nettie felt herself blush.

"Girls! Girls are wonderful. I dated one back in eighty-nine. Beauty. She was a model, gee. Wait, did we ever actually break up...? Hmm...." She held her finger to her chin, mumbling to herself.

"What about your husband?" Nettie pointed to the man looking out the window.

"We're bisexual, dear. Haven't you heard of it?" Nettie gave a vague nod. "Perhaps you are too. But, you don't need to label yourself. If you love this girl, great. Love a boy, great! Love whoever, great! You can't choose who to love."

"Do I love Tea?" Nettie's voice was barely a whimper.

"You came all the way from Oregon. But hey, let your heart decide! Test the boundaries of your love!" The lady threw her hands in the air then scuttled back to her husband, kissed him on the cheek, held his hand, and looked out the window with him. Nettie's face held a smile as her mind thought up a plan.

A static sound filled the air as the conducted began to speak and slow down the train. "Now stopping at Main Street, U.S.A. Have a wonderful night, folks!"

"I will." Nettie grinned.
