At one end of the rainbow...

One character convinces the other to reveal their

1. sin 2. crime 3. real goal 4. hidden secret 5. true feeling 6. dream

In the middle...

1.  An employer criticizes one character
2.  A lover interferes
3.  A waitress offers advice
4.  A child isn't where they are supposed to be
5.  A pet wants more attention
6.  Parents want to put their two cents in

At the other end...

One character tries to

1.  buy dinner for the other
2.  put a paper in the other's pocket
3.  blackmail the other
4.  give the other one a ride
5.  outbid the other at an auction
6.  talk the other out of a bad investment

(Wheee!  I love rainbows, don't you?
and the gold I pick up for taking the time to look at them...)

Okay?  Three pebbles in the flow, just connect them up and write that
story.
