Timothy's POV
I really don't like this job, I miss being Timothy Lawrence, I'm tired of being Jack, this body double thing sucks, but I need the money, I need to shut down a jamming signal and retake Helios Station from the Lost Legion, that's not going to be easy, I just reached Concordia, the merriff won't let me get to his office, I need his help to get the location of the jamming signal so I can get to Helios Station, this place after is pretty big, Jack tells me to head to the up-over bar, I'm supposed to be meeting someone named Moxxi, then I see a beautiful woman with strange makeup on, she smiles at me, "Lookin for me sugar?" She asks, I am stunned by her beauty, she was gorgeous, what I know about Moxxi is that she is Jack's ex, and since I'm Jack's doppelgänger, this may not go well, "Holy shi- hi I'm uh- Jack obviously, and.. I.. um.. need your help- uh, are you sure we're not still dating?" I stutter, way to go Timothy, your chance with this beautiful lady is ruined, "Pretty sure hon, and I can tell my ex from a body double, you're not salivating enough" Moxxi says, dammit, I blew it, "So, Jack sent you huh? Musta bothered him somethin' awful, no worries though, it's all in the past, what does he need?" Moxxi asks, "I.. um.. Helios.. Dohl.. attacked jamming... signal, jeez, you're just really pretty" I stutter, I'm just making a fool of myself today, but Moxxi giggles and smiles "Why thank you" she says, maybe I didn't screw it up, "So you wanna find the signal? Then you gotta put transmitters on the ECHO towers around town, get up high, simple triangulation, they'll find the source then you can shut it down" Moxxi explains, she also says that she doesn't have any transmitters here, she tells me to pick up some moonstones that the Customs Claptrap has,

Moxxi's POV
That doppelgänger is a lot different from Jack, he's kind of cute, he called me pretty, after he said that I blushed, I'm glad that I had makeup on to hide it, I keep talking to him as sets up the transmitters, "So, what's your real name mister doppelgänger?" I ask, "Well, I'm required by law not to tell you but it rhymes with Jimothy" the doppelgänger says, so Timothy is his name, I like him, I think he's cute, he's shy around me, and he's really nice, not like Jack, we have a really deep conversation while we work, I don't think he likes doing this job but he says he needs money, poor guy, I could help him out, but I'm not sure what he'd say, he's so geeky and awkward, I love it, I just hope that he likes me for more than just my looks

Timothy's POV
After receiving them I'm told to go to the black market and get spend the moonstones for some transmitters, after setting the transmitters and pin point the jamming signal's origin, turns out it's coming from a place called Cris Star, apparently it's an old Dohl comms facility, it's been overrun by scavs, I go to leave but the Merriff put the town in lockdown so I can't leave, I don't trust this Merriff guy, Jack says to get back to Moxxi and use one of her secret entrances/exits, but she isn't at her bar, one of the Claptraps say that if I pull the lever of one of the slot machines then I can access her in her secret workshop, I don't really understand but I go on with it and I access her workshop, I see a woman working on something singing "Bubbles and birds, bubbles and birds!" Then she stops and looks at me weirdly, "Um, Moxxi? Hello?" I ask, "What are you doing in here!?" I here Moxxi ask, that's Moxxi!? "Ohhh jeez, even cuter without the makeup, that's just.. uumm" I can't finish my sentence, Moxxi is just too beautiful, I see a tint of red on Moxxi's cheeks and she seems like she's holding back a smile, "So what do you need?" She asks, "Um.. the meriff.. locked up in.. city.. could you.. help me get out? Please?" I stutter, jeez I'm just blowing it here, "I'll help you, but if you promise you don't tell anyone what you saw here" Moxxi explains, "Yeah.. totally- of course! I promise- anything! Absolutely! Anything for you- please just GOD marry me- I mean.. I didn't say that! What's up with you? How are you?" I say incredibly fast and awkwardly, I am not doing good, she shows me the exit and I'm on my way

Moxxi's POV
He thinks I'm cuter without the makeup, even if he didn't promise to keep my secret I would've showed him the exit anyway, I watch him leave and I just stare dreamily, wow, I think I'm in love
