“Shhhhh, .. get the – how'd you get the lock so fast?”
“It was already open, I dunno. You think he's home?”

“Yeah. Alright. Go ahead, see what you find. I'll follow you.”
The room looked like a teenager who had just awoken after three hours of sleep. The couple picked their way through the flotsam.
“Eh, what's this?”
“Shit, I dunno. Computer guts? Percussion equipment? – Hey! I found an IPod!”
“Alright. Let's get some tunes.”
“Rock!”
Eventually, they found what they were looking for.
“I found the bed, and you're right – it won't do!”
“It's just so .. small, and ... ugly.”
“Exactly.”
“So what do you think, can we do it?”
“Well... there's room. I think I might be able to come up with something. Take some pictures of the space and the stuff... when we get back, I'll check it for style and find a new bed that will go with it all. Alright, is everything back where it was?”
“I'll get the music quick, then yeah.”
“Alright. Let's move out!”
Two days later, after a knock on the door and a delivery of a new bed, the couple receives a message on their answering machine.
“I assume I got your surprise today. I guess I appreciate the effort, but I don't think it'll do. Not the right colors at all... and much too big. What were you thinking? Solid white with red pillows? It just... doesn't feel like my bed. It'll have to go.”
