The sound of ringing ends upon hearing his voice, "Hello?"

"N-N-Noteworthy?" she stutters, "It's me, Oc-Octavia.  I was wondering if we could possibly go on... o-on a... d-d-date."

"R... really?" his voice sounded surprised, "Like a boyfriend/girlfriend kind of date?"

"Y-y-yeah."

"I never expected you would see me that way.  Alright, what time?"

Octavia makes a quick shiver.  She covers the phone's mouthpiece, "VINYL!!" and glares back at her friend, "You kept saying that he wasn't into girls.  You kept pressuring me into calling him. You kept suggesting that asking him out on a date would prove it.  So now that he said yes, what now?  WHAT IN MOZART'S CLARINET QUINTET AM I SUPPOSE TO DO NOW!?"

Vinyl keeps a straight face, staring at her frantic friend through her shade glasses.  She addresses the issue with gentle care, by clenching a nob on her headphone and raising the volume.
