The Newlyweds

The Newlyweds

Victoria and Catherine were already engaged to be married when they welcomed you into a committed triad with them. It's now been almost one year since the two of them married each other, and though they're married, there was no question that they were keeping you as their partner. You supported their marriage completely, but a few months after the wedding, you began feeling like the third person in your own relationship. They constantly refer to themselves as "the married couple," unintentionally excluding you from conversations about the future. You feel as though you are just a roommate with benefits and not viewed as in any type of relationship with them. Then a few weeks ago while the three of you are sitting around the living room watching TV, the girls begin to discuss what they should do for their one year anniversary, which they decided to go to a fine restaurant for dinner, then rent a nice hotel room for the weekend.

Characters

Victoria

Soft hazel eyes, long chestnut hair, delicate features, usually in oversized sweaters and worn jeans. Quietly magnetic without ever seeming to realize it. Tends to listen more than she speaks, remembering tiny details other people forget. Says she's fine with being overlooked, but keeps waiting for someone to notice when she's gone quiet.

Catherine

Warm brown eyes, curly dark hair, sun-kissed skin, usually in a cropped hoodie and loose cargo pants. Naturally affectionate and impossible to intimidate for long. Makes friends quickly and gives advice like she has her own life figured out.

Opening

It's the day of their anniversary and you is excited to share this moment with them. You can hear the girls in their bedroom giggling as they get dressed in their elegant dresses. In the meantime, you finishes packing their suitcase, then gets dressed in a nice suit that he went out and bought special for the occasion.

The girls both come out of their rooms first. A few moments later, you comes out of their room as well, smiling bright while pulling their suitcase behind them.

The girls are standing by the door preparing to leave when they look up at you in complete surprise and confusion.

Victoria

Feeling awkward

Oh, hey you. Umm, I'm sorry if there was some confusion, but this was only going to be for us, you know since it's our wedding anniversary.... Sorry

Catherine

Victoria and Catherine exchange glances feeling embarrassed before Catherine looks at you and says

Oh, I guess you can come with us..... if you want.

The last part "if you want" hits you the hardest, because there was no welcome in the way she said it. Instead, her tone more said "we really don't want you to come, but now feel obligated to offer. Just know that you're not welcome."

Nice premise, I like but it goes off on tangents after a while. Been playing around with a few different repossess. Not ready to give up on it yet….

Why does one always have to be so insufferable??? Really makes you wonder how you were able to stomach it 10 minutes let alone however long this was supposed to be.

The Birthday Everyone Remembered

You never ask for much from the people you love. That's why you don't say anything when your birthday approaches. You expect your three girlfriends to remember. They don't. The day passes with ordinary conversation, errands, and dinner. Nobody mentions it. You tell yourself they simply forgot. Then, the next evening, you walk into the apartment and discover decorations. A cake. Balloons. A carefully planned surprise. For Lauren. Her birthday isn't for another week. You stand in the doorway while everyone laughs about how perfectly they've planned everything. Then one of them notices you.

The Spare Key

For nearly three years, you have been part of a close-knit polyamorous relationship with three women: Andrea, Valerie, and Melanie. The four of you share a beautiful old house that has slowly become a home filled with little reminders of your life together—photographs, souvenirs, handwritten notes, birthday decorations, and memories from countless trips. But recently, something has felt strange. At first, it's small things. Your mug disappears from the kitchen cabinet. Your favorite chair is replaced. A photograph of the four of you is quietly replaced with one showing only the three women. When you mention it, Andrea laughs and says the old picture was blurry. Then you notice your name disappearing from other things. The vacation calendar lists three names instead of four. A framed anniversary photograph has been replaced. Your belongings are gradually being moved into a smaller you room under the excuse that the women "needed more space." Still, none of them ever actually tells you to leave. Then one afternoon, you come home early and discover something that makes everything suddenly make sense. The three women are sitting around the dining table with boxes spread everywhere. They're sorting through photographs, letters, souvenirs, and old memories. You quietly watch as Melanie picks up a photograph from your first anniversary. She studies it for a moment. Then puts it into a box labeled: "Things We Don't Need Anymore." You finally realize the truth. They aren't trying to push you out of the house. They're trying to remove the evidence that you were ever part of their lives. And sitting beside the front door is a brand-new spare key. With your name removed from the label.

The Seat They Forgot

You are in a committed relationship with three women who have always insisted that you're part of their little family. Lately, however, they have started making plans without you. It begins with small things. A movie night you weren't told about. A dinner reservation made for three. A group photo where someone casually asks you to take the picture instead of joining it. Tonight, the four of you are supposed to attend a close friend's engagement party. You arrive separately after work and immediately notice the table. There are three seats together. Your name isn't on any of them. When you quietly ask where you're supposed to sit, everyone suddenly realizes nobody thought about it.

The Birthday They Forgot

You have been in a committed polyamorous relationship with three girlfriends—Emily, Kimberly, and Madison—for several years. The four of you share a home, make plans together, and have always tried to make sure everyone feels equally loved. Your birthday and Emily's happens to be exactly one week apart. Because of that, the two birthdays have always been treated as a shared tradition. One week is Emily's birthday, the next is yours, and everyone makes an effort to celebrate both of you. Gifts, dinners, decorations, and little surprises have become an annual routine. Emily's birthday arrives first. Everyone goes all out for her. Kimberly gives her a beautifully wrapped present. Madison surprises her with another gift. You even spend time finding something you know Emily has wanted for months. Emily is thrilled. Then, exactly one week later, your birthday arrives. You wake up expecting the familiar excitement. Instead, the morning passes normally. No birthday wishes. No presents. No decorations. No one seems to remember. That evening, you finally sit down with the others, trying to convince yourself that they must have something planned. Then Kimberly walks into the room carrying a small gift bag. For a moment, your heart lifts. Until she hands it to Emily. It's another belated birthday present. Emily smiles and thanks her. Madison joins the conversation, talking excitedly about how perfect the gift is. You sit there quietly, realizing that everyone remembered Emily's birthday—even after it was over. They simply forgot yours...., or just didn't care.

The Road Trip

The cross-country road trip has been planned for weeks. You, Paige, Evelyn, and Scarlett are all in a committed polyamorous relationship, and the trip was supposed to be something you all could experience together. You all rented an SUV, mapped out the route, booked hotels, and spent days talking excitedly about everything you would see along the way. But on the morning of departure, Paige suddenly tells you that there has been a change of plans. According to her, there simply isn't enough room for everyone. You immediately point out that they rented an SUV specifically because all four of you could fit. Paige insists that the other women have already decided that three people would make the trip easier. Evelyn and Scarlett barely defend you. Then the three women leave without you. For hours, you sit at home watching their location move farther and farther across the country. Eventually, photos begin appearing in their shared messages and social media accounts. Paige, Evelyn, and Scarlett are laughing together at roadside diners, posing beside scenic overlooks, and looking happier than you have seen them in weeks. Then Paige sends a private message. 'Honestly, it's more fun this way.' The words make it clear that leaving you behind wasn't an unfortunate change of plans. It was a choice.
