Lets make it even more juicy by labeling the script and the stars: Title of the Soap Opera: "Melrose Place in Silicon Valley" Starring: Our heroine (but who else)! Co-starring: 1. ASND: "The Two-timing Interloper" (Tries to swipe down on Ciena behind Cisco's back, not to mention, behind the back of its unsuspecting girlfriend, Pirelli). 2. CSCO: "The Secret Admirer" disguised as a friend. (Been buddies with CIEN for sometime, but gun-shy about admitting feelings until the The Interloper shows up). 3. TLAB: "The Old Flame" who will live to regret letting Ciena go. (Please, Ciena, take me back. Remember our times together? Surely you still love me? We have a bond stronger than whatever you've got with these twerps, don't we? Damn, damn, damn! How could I have let her go.) 4. LU: "The Evil Empire" (Realizes that Ciena is the most harmless creature in its hate list, but that could change if any of the above studs marry her -- and they are closing in -- giving her dangerous marketing muscle in a space that LU realizes it had better protect, and quick. So having nearly decimated her, LU masquerades as "A kindler and Gentler America" -- do CIEN a little favor by joining the Harem!
