Synopsis[]
Gavin and Maria continue their discussion about Gavin's plan to win their bet- the bet being that Maria can talk to Rain before Gavin.
Gavin explains that before he moved to Centerville, he had a best friend named Ryan Flaherty. His plan is to ask Rain whether she is related to Ryan, thus starting a conversation.
What the two don't know is that 'Ryan' was Rain's birth name. One of the reasons Rain and Fara moved to Centerville was to escape people who knew 'Ryan' growing up.
Maria than, seemingly jokingly, remarks that "maybe it is your old buddy! Wouldn't that just be totally messed up?"
Gavin dismisses this, saying that it is more realistic that the names are just a coincidence. He challenges Maria to another bet, but Maria refuses, saying that she was just joking around.
Little do the two know, Maria is actually right....
Author Notes[]
And here we have the first page to not feature the title character herself. Gavin and Maria’s discussion here amuses me so. So close, yet so far… ^_^
Artistically though, this page is a little boring and subpar compared to the rest of the comic. I only hope the dialogue makes up for that.

An "in"? Oh, this should be good. Do tell. | |||
It's really quite simple, actually. Remember how I said her name sounded famillar? | |||
See, in elementary school before I moved here, my best friend's name was Ryan Flaherty. Maybe they're related somehow. Like cousins or something. | |||
Or maybe it IS your old buddy! Wouldn't that just be totally messed up? | |||
Or... more realistically... Hte name is just a coincidence. But it does give me a topic to open with. | |||
Bah! She's a dude and you know it. | |||
Wanna bet? | |||
Nah. I'd obviously lose that one. I'm just busting your chops. | |||
'Cause I'm all for double or nothing when I get that date. | |||
Shove it, Gavin | |||
