	Micky sat back as the CEO of TAP took center stage and began speaking. The man spoke with the skill of someone who had been doing this for years. He didn't take long to get to his announcement. Soon an army of waiters came out with delectable looking ice cream for each of the attendees. Micky looked at the desert being laid before him. He wasn't sure but it looked like it may be Rocky Road. He listened to Mr. Polk as he finished his speech. Apparently, there was something hidden within the dish that would indicate the one which TAP had picked to be his partner. On that word Micky gulped. Because that person sat at the table with him and other than introductions he hadn't spoken with any of them and instantly they'd start with knowing they were quote-unquote soulmates. This was nervewracking.

	Micky stared at his ice cream. Honestly, he was too scared to even search for the indicator. They do say ignorance is bliss so maybe he should just take things slow and enjoy not knowing. However, everyone around him was one by one revealing the rings which had been given to them. Decided to bite the bullet he started digging into the treat occasionally eating some of it looking for the ring. He notices that yet again it seems he will be the final one to do something at his table. He doesn't try cheating to see who matches with who focusing on finding the ring. That's when he discovers it. Using his spoon he removed the chocolate covered ring from the flute. Grabbing a napkin he began cleaning it so that he may know what color he got. Once he cleaned it he could see the dark purple mineral inlaid into the titanium colored ring. He wasn't entirely sure but he believed it to be amethyst.

	He wasn't much of a jewelry person but the ring was so elegant that he couldn't help putting it on. Finally, though it was time to attempt to discover who his partner was. He looked up and looked at each person's ring until he saw one that had a similar color to his. The person he saw which had the same ring color as he had was Gaia. Micky had to admit she was beautiful and had a pretty name. All he knew about her though was her first name, that she was an archivist, that she apparently liked her job, and that supposedly she was his [i]soulmate[/i]?

	What now though. Micky was good at making friends. Better than the rest of his family, but this was a whole other thing. He barely knew her and instantly the first thing that popped to mind was that they were fated to be together by TAP standards. How does one go about talking with someone whilst that was in the back of their minds? The young man opened his mouth to speak but no words came out as he had no idea what to say. It was like a horse was jammed down his throat so that nothing could come out. Deciding that awkwardly staring was definitely worse than awkwardly not talking he smiled at her and gave a slight wave.
