text: You're not really sure of how much help you're going to get from Ben given that he's probably just as reclusive as you, probably more so.
  
  You head to the backyard to look for him, but he's nowhere to be found. You do see his girlfriend Moon Shadow meditating in the garden though. For being a filthy hippy she's very pretty. In some ways you can see why Ben gave up his potentially lucrative job in the government for her. Though you don't think Moon Shadow had it in mind that he'd become a paranoid survivalist nut that indulged in every conspiracy theory known under the sun.
  
  You ask her where he is.
  
  "Hey Moon Shadow, sorry to bother you, but do you know where Ben is?"
  
  Moon Shadow stops her meditation to address you.
  
  "No worries Suzy. I am just happy to see you! You spend far too much time inside that dark basement hiding out from the world much like Ben does in his bunker. The both of you should embrace all the beauty it has to offer!"
  "Uh, sure. So do you know where Ben is?"
  "Sadly no. I haven't seen him for a couple days, but I'm sure he'll return to me soon. He always has!"
  "A couple days? Where did he go?"
  "Oh he's working on his underground bunker as always. He really gets caught up in it; though I try to tell him that it's completely unnecessary, but I understand his intentions to protect all of us are good. It is my hope that he will someday come to his senses and we will leave this place. The aura and karma here are... well very fucked up."
  
  Never having been in Ben's bunker you ask where it is.
  
  "Dunno, he hides it really well and keeps switching the entrance. In fact I haven't ever been inside it; I've always slept up here beneath the majestic stars."
  "Hmm, I think I've seen you and Tommy on the couch in the living room a few times."
  "Well Tommy gets cold sometimes and he wants his mommy with him, would you have me deny that right?"
  "I suppose not. So where's Tommy then?"
  "He's been spending time with his father, so he's also down in the bunker. It's good for them to bond and it allows me to get back in touch with the cosmos."
  
  At this point you're getting exasperated.
  
  "How the hell can Ben move the damn entrance around and hide it so well in just this backyard?" you ask.
  "I'm afraid I do not know the answer to your questions. You will have to ask him yourself. All I can tell you that if you truly wish to find him, you will do so, but I am wondering if you should not stay here and meditate with me so that you may calm yourself and perhaps find another path."
  > stay with Moon Shadow
  Moon Shadow seems pretty happy with life and she does even less than you, so maybe she's on to something. You sit down with Moon Shadow who looks even happier than she did before.
  
  "So what is this path you speak of?"
  "If you meditate with me, you may find out. This will be so nice, Ben never meditates with me anymore and I'm afraid Tommy is a bit too hyperactive to sit still for it."
  "So what do I do?"
  "Just sit across from me and cross your legs. Good, now stretch out your arms towards me so that we may hold hands. We shall hold hands the entire time so that we may feel our energies combining and let the positivity flow between us."
  "Okay, now what?"
  "Now close your eyes and contemplate you life as it was, as it is and as it can be. See the universe, be the universe. Touch the universe... "
  
  While your eyes are closed you can definitely tell that Moon Shadow is maneuvering your hands towards her.
  
  "Feel the majestic mountains. Their peaks so perfect and beautiful. You could just want to bury yourself in between them... "
  "Uh... "
  "Feel the plains below, smooth and tight. No doubt due to a good diet... "
  "Hey... "
  "Now follow further south and AH! FEEL the field of everlasting glory!"
  "MOON SHADOW!" you say pulling your hands away.
  "What's wrong I thought you wanted to meditate?" Moon Shadow says looking concerned.
  
  "That wasn't meditation, that was you trying to shove my hand under your dress!"
  "Oh you're right. I'm so sorry! I just... I'm just so lonely here and mostly everyone here is mean! I never see Ben anymore and I can't even leave because it wouldn't be right to take Tommy away from his dad. I feel so trapped! I guess when I saw you I thought... I oh, I dunno what I thought. (Sob)"
  
  You sort of feel sorry for Moon Shadow, and you can sort of sympathize with her plight. You too feel a little trapped. While Moon Shadow might've been a little misguided in trying to make "friends" with you, you try to console her.
  
  "Look Moon Shadow, you seem very nice, but you really caught me by surprise there. I mean I've never been with anyone before so this is all a bit weird for me. Not to mention you ARE with my brother. How would that look?"
  "Oh, I don't place restrictions on such things. Never have. I believe if you have feelings for someone you should share them. And as far as Ben is concerned, he's so infatuated with his bunker he'd rather be raping the holes in mother Earth rather than entering mine."
  "Hmm, well if you're horny couldn't you just go out and meet someone else for a few hours? I mean like you said Tommy's under watch by Ben. They probably wouldn't know you're even gone."
  "Suzy, you misunderstand. I'm not some whore that just gives it up to anyone. I need to feel a spiritual connection with them first. Such things take time, but I felt it with you which is why I reached out. Didn't you feel it too?"
  "Well I felt something... " you say looking at your hands.
  "You say you're still a virgin? That is an awful long time to be one and I can't imagine why given how pretty you are. Don't you ever get urges?"
  "Sure, that's why there are vibrators though."
  "Oh Suzy, you are lost! No machine can ever compare to the touch of a real life human being. The tenderness and warmth... don't you wish to experience that?"
  > experience a "Moon" landing
  Well you'd be lying if you weren't a bit curious. Besides, Moon Shadow seems caring enough to make your first time a pleasant one.
  
  "Well okay, I guess let's go do it back to my basement." you say.
  "Do it in the basement? That's so tawdry! No, we are going to embrace underneath the sky so that nature may witness it."
  "Uh... out here? But someone might see us!"
  "So? We can't be ashamed to express our desires... here let me relax you."
  
  At this point Moon Shadow crawls over to you and kisses you on the lips gently. Soon she has you lying on the grass as you both make out. Her tongue explores every inch of your virgin body as both of your articles of clothing are shed away. You feel her tongue pleasure you in a way you've never felt before, and it's true, this is better than a machine.
  
  While the pair of you are making sweet interracial lesbian love in the garden, and bringing a whole new meaning to term ebony and ivory coming together in perfect harmony, Peter and his buddy Kevin stumble onto you.
  
  "HOLY SHIT DUDE!" Kevin shouts.
  "Shhh! Quick, get this on camera; we can use this for the romance scene. For some reason you heteros like watching the rug munching. Baffling to me, but I know it sells." Peter says.
  
  You and Moon Shadow hear them, but neither one of you care. The pair of you are enjoying each other too much right now. In fact after both of you are finished Moon Shadow is more than a little infatuated and you're quite fond of her too. She decides that her true path was to meet you and to take you away from this dysfunctional place.
  
  You and Moon Shadow end up running off together to live in a commune in the wilderness, where you and her grow your own food, make your own clothes and practice witchcraft. You two make the relationship "official" when you marry each other at the Sappho Fair and live happily ever after.
