"Congratulations, guys! You're finally married!" Nisha said happily to Dr. Niti and her husband, Sanjay.
"Thank you," they both said as the gang and the new couple sat at a table, eating lunch. The new couple had just finished their seven rounds, and were now happily married.
"We have a gift for you two," Simran said.
"We," Shilpa took a pause, building up the suspense. "Got you two tickets to Paris, France for your honeymoon!"
"And you can use these tickets whenever you want. So when Sanjay comes back from business, you two can go for your honeymoon," Vineet explained, handing over two tickets to Sanjay.
"You guys! There was no need to do this!" Dr. Niti smiled at her friends. "Thank you."
They all shrugged. "It was no big deal," said Sid.
"And you're not going to work tomorrrow. I'm here for one more day and I want to spend it together," Sanjay said sternly to Dr. Niti.
"All right, all right," Dr. Niti said, hugging her husband.

"It didn't work," Simran said, pacing back and forth in the empy Lockeer Room save Sid and Shilpa.
"What? I-I was positive it would! TIme together--" Shilpa said.
"Doesn't always mean you fall in love. Rahul sees me as a friend, no matter how much time we spend together," Simran said sadly.
"So now what do we do?" Sid asked.
"There's nothing we can do," Simran stated.
"Yes, there is,"Shilpa said.
"What?" asked Simran, already giving up.
Shilpa took a breath. "Rahul is into girls that are more...spontaneous, loud. You," she pointed at Simran, "are quite the opposite."
"So you're saying have to change for him?" Simran asked.
"Changing for someone isn't always the best thing," Sid said.
"I'm not saying change who you are completely. Simmy, you're a little..uptight. You take things in life to seriously, and you need to loosen up. That's the thing Rahul likes. He doesn't want everything to be serious," Shilpa explained.
Simran considered this. "You're right. I am a little too uptight, huh? So what do I have to do to change?"
"We have to have a HUGE makeover," Shilpa smiled.
Sid just shook his head, amused by Shilpa's "technique".

The Next Day...
"Hey, Vineet, you want to come over and watch some movies tonight?" Rahul asked as he grabbed his things from his locker.
"Why? Don't have a date tonight?" Vineet teased.
"No, actually," Rahul admitted.
"Well, sure why--Wow," Vineet said, looking around Rahul.
"Wha-?" Rahul turned around and his eyes went wide. "Oh my, God."
