She was beautiful, wore short skirts and was a little prone to ignoring rules. She met Sluggo and hated him at first, but they later became good friends. I always thought they were dating but I'm not sure. I mean he was definitely not in her league (uh oh, am I in trouble?) C'mon, don't tell me you're not thinking the same thing.

Are you enjoying your coffee break?
