Gaystripe nervously looks at the clock on the wall.

Gaystripe: Day 28! It's almost over? 

Stagehand: Uh that's a clock, not a calendar. What kind of black magic are you learning in your free time?

Stagehand #2: Teach me?

Gaystripe: HUSHH. No matter, it's time I go teach some cats about being biromantic!

He prances toward the curtain, and he, with an exaggerated motion, whips it open. In moments, the crowd outside begins to scream, jumping and throwing popcorn instantly. 

Gaystripe: HI EVERYONE, welcome back, thank you, thank you. Today's day 28!

The audience seems to be silent for a few moments before everyone realizes what that meant.

Audience: NOOOOO IT CAN'T BE

Gaystripe: What?? Come on! It's the day of biromantics!

Audience: IT'S DAY 28!!

Gaystripe: I JUST SAID THAT. Come on!! It's time to pay attention to me and what I'M saying!

Audience: We've listened for at least 28 days, give us a break. 

Gaystripe: Hmphm.

Audience: 28 DAYS. ALMOST OVER, WE ONLY HAVE 2 LEFT AND PRIDE'LL BE DONE! WHAT A TRAGEDY, ONE THAT CANNOT BE SOLVED NOR HELPED WITH KIND WORDS FROM A LOVELY HOST. 

Gaystripe: *tapping his watch* Cool story guys...

Audience: I WILL DIE OF SADNESS AND LONELINESS. THIS WILL BE OVER AND THEN IT WILL BE JULY, HOW BORING, HOW SAD! JUNE IS PRIDE. I WISH PRIDE TO BE FOREVER. BUT IT MUST END, AS ALL GOOD THINGS DO. SO GAYSTRIPE, CONTINUE AND TEACH US.

Gaystripe: If you insist...

Audience: *throwing popcorn suddenly as bright purple, blue, and pink lights flash* WE DO INSIST. DEARLY AND SINCERELY, WE TRULY DO INSIST THAT-

Gaystripe: Being biromantic is kind of like being homoromantic. It's the same sort of concept, in that it's not about sexual attraction, it's about romantic attraction!

Gaystripe: Biromantic cats are cats who are romantically attracted to two genders, and this usually includes their own. These genders could be male and female, female and nonbinary, or anything!

Gaystripe: This is similar to bisexuality in the sense that it's two. However, it's sexual attraction versus romantic, and although some won't get too upset if you swap the two on accident, it's important to try to be careful!

Audience: COOL!

They grin excitedly, throwing more popcorn around the area for no reason as the lights get brighter. Gaystripe rolls his eyes and glances down at his watch, noting the time, and he peeks backstage as if to get confirmation for something.

Audience: GAAYSTRIPE WHAT'RE YOU DOING

Gaystripe: GOD, just wait!

Stagehand: Yeah. It's fine, don't worry about it.

Crossing his arms, or forelegs, or something, he's a cat, he turns back to the audience and prances back out, and the crowd calls loudly once more, throwing drinks and popcorn; a step up from the previous time.

Gaystripe: Just like last time, this term is often used by those who are asexual - refer to day 10 of 30 Days of Pride by QueerWarriors on www.wattpad-

Audience: What

Gaystripe: NO MATTER. This is often used by those who are asexual, in the sense that while they may not have sexual attraction to others, they may still experience romantic attraction.

Gaystripe: So, while some could be homoromantic, in that they don't experience sexual attraction to anyone but feel romantic attraction to those of their gender, they could also be biromantic, in that they feel romantic attraction to two genders!

The crowd nods, seeming to understand, and everyone continues to throw popcorn around. A small group of cats in the back, multicolored flags draped over their figures, jump up and down, throwing a particularly alarming amount of popcorn around.

Gaystripe: And we do actually have an admin who is biromantic, come on out Koipaw!

Audience: KOIPAW! KOIPAW!

Koipaw: *strolling onstage* hi all! how're your days going?

Audience: PRETTY GOOD. HOW'S BEING BIROMANTIC GOING? THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT AFTER ALL!

Koipaw: Pretty good! Also, no need to yell, I can hear you super well.

Audience: *in a whisper* okay, whatever you say Koipaw

Koipaw: WHAT?? Sorry, I couldn't hear you

Gaystripe: ANYWAYS, thanks for tuning in to today's vid-- I MEAN, thanks for paying attention.

Audience: Are you a vlogger?

Gaystripe: ...no. NOW. Thanks for being great throughout this whole thing, I'm actually sad that June's gonna be over really soon. Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful day, and Koipaw, would you like to join me?

Koipaw gives him a confused look before being called backstage, to which the apprentice quickly dashes off, disappearing behind the curtain behind Gaystripe. He shrugs.

Gaystripe: HAPPY DAY 28!

With that, he launches himself into the crowd, and the daily party begins.
