Scenario A: You are SO nervous! You want to ask (Crush) to be your valentine, but you just can't! You're too nervous... then (Rival) shows up and says that if you don't ask them, THEY will. And they already seemed to have planted some seeds to prove the point. Now you're in a hurry, AND nervous!

You can't let them have (Crush)!

Scenario B: Scenario A but (OC) and (Crush)'s roles are reversed.
