 
The morning after the move and the dust is settling. After the tidying
up, Daisy decides that for bonding purposes (and to avoid any more
work than is absolutely necessary) that Tim and her should hold
a housewarming party. Brian comes along from downstairs, Mike and
Twist show up to provide support (and security) for their friends
and Marsha drops in to say 'helloooo'. And to avoid the carnage
that Marsha's daughter, Amber, is creating upstairs

Part One
Waking up with Gillian Anderson plastic arse on his face, Tim
explores his new kingdom only to find that Sarah is still going
out with him and what's more, she's cooking him in breakfast. Just
as settles into this idea, his big green monster suit attacks him
and drags him to some unknown horror in his bedroom. Screaming,
he awakes to find that, in reality, his new home is, as he left
it last night, sans Sarah and very much in need of a spring clean.
Daisy
has decided to start on some writing but can't get anything done.
She blames this on the chaos that surrounds her, the unpacked remnants
of their former lives. Tim has unpacked though (his room is a shining
example to any new homeowner) and is now busily doing some posters
for Bilbo, the guy who we works for. Still with writer's block,
Daisy suggests she draws up a rota for cleaning the shared areas
of the apartment. In a two-minute frenzy, she does
well, not
a lot really, before passing out, slumping over her QWERTY. But
Tim has a suggestion and, nine and a half minutes later, they're
lying flat on their backs, sweating and tired. All that tension's
been relieved
they've unpacked all their stuff
But,
even after that effort, Daisy can't shift the block. It all seems
like despair until it hits her. They should have a housewarming
party! Tim isn't impressed at first, but, as the new cutting edge
of North London, it just has to be done. He agrees on the condition
that Daisy's room is used as the coatroom for the duration. And
will, he asks, they have to keep up the ruse of their relationship
with the same momentum? Do they need to hold hands in the hall or
make sexnoise at night
?
So,
preparations are made, phones rung and tinfoil unwound. Marsha is
invited, although she explains that Amber is having a few friends
over herself and Brian is coerced at the prospect of 'girls being
there' (although he isn't sure how much Tim knows about 'the deal').
However, other guests are not forthcoming. Tripods and skateboarding
have wiped out most of Tim's mates, but Daisy has managed to rustle
up some media types. Well, the paper - boy. Smooooooth. Anyway,
Tim has managed to collar Mike into coming along (with his Glock
17) and, likewise, Daisy with Twist. Daisy is about to get changed
when Richard calls her up. As she's explaining what's going on that
night, Tim begins to make sexnoise on the couch, just as a bit of
fun
Part
Two
It's party time in number twenty-three; Brian has already arrived
and is studying what he describes as a tribute to Christo, the artist.
Tim, perhaps more accurately, describes it as a waste of Baco, the
foil, but nonetheless, Daisy's efforts are magnificently
silver.
Finally dressed to kill, she jumps out and begins to whip up the
mood with a party warm up tape. Del Amitri blasts from the stereo
but fails to capture the imagination. Desperate for a good start,
Daisy takes Brian over to the freezer to get some ice. While they're
exploring whether Cal 900 is truly self aware, the doorbell goes.
It's
Mike, who's brought a land mine as a house - gift. But in front
of him, are two other potential guests in the shape of nubile young
ladies. Tim's hopes are high, but they're after Amber's party upstairs.
Although they have missed the puppet show
Back inside, Daisy is introduced to Tim's nearest and dearest and
subsequently, Daisy acts as a catalyst between the meeting of Brian
and the TA's finest. A beautiful meeting of artist, writer and
Mike. Suddenly, in this meeting of minds, the door goes again and
Twist has arrived. She wants to put her wrap somewhere and Tim accidentally
implies that Daisy and he aren't sharing a room. Brian picks up
on this and asks why they're not together. Panic forces them to
lie on the hoof and Tim tells him that Daisy snores like a pig,
the lies get bigger until Daisy breaks them with the truth "We're
not a couple". Tim is far from impressed but, he too concedes
defeat on this one and they beg for him not to tell
Marsha,
who is now at the door. Thankfully, she hasn't heard any of this,
so all remains well. For now. After it's established that she's
pretty much on time, she asks where she's to put her coat. Again,
panic falls over Tim and Daisy's faces until Brian comes to the
rescue.
"Don't worry," he declares, "I'll put it in Tim and
Daisy's room
"
His beautiful gesture however, is soon destroyed by his ineptitude
at walking through doors. Daisy introduces Marsha to the other guests,
the now in place door security, Mike and the lovely Twist who, in
one small sentence, totally destroys Marsha's ensemble for the evening.
As
Tim feverishly adds to his cartoon portfolio, Twist and Daisy discuss
organic produce. As Marsha is coming onto Brian, Twist starts up
a conversation with the artist and a connection is made. Finally
someone understands him. But, just as things are about to get deep,
Twist hears the unmistakable first lines of 'The Timewarp'
Disgusted
at the playing of boil in the bag perversion at his own party, Tim
runs from the scene with Mike following closely behind. In the hall
they fight a bit and reminisce before Mike suggest that they just
go upstairs and crash Amber's party, even though it is only gonna
be full of young girls
A
few hours pass and Daisy is copping off with the paperboy whilst
Twist and Brian are awkwardly sitting on the couch with Marsha draped
across the latter's lap. Suddenly a buzzing Tim and spaced Mike
come charging back into the flat. Amber's shindig is apparently
just beginning to burn and, after a little persuasion, the whole
gang leave the paperboy in the dangerous company of their semi conscious
landlady.
Finally,
donning sunglasses, Tim and Mike lead the rest up the stairs into
dancing oblivion
