Richard and Cynthia first met in a synthetic universe, where humans had colonized many planets and established relationships with sexy alien species. They were introduced to each other through a mutual friend, David Bowie, who had a reputation for throwing the best cheese parties in the galaxy.

At one of Bowie's gatherings, Richard and Cynthia hit it off immediately. They bonded over their love of small dogs and oxtails. As they talked and danced the night away wearing red shoes, Richard revealed that he had secretly been taking dance lessons with his twin sister, Monika, at club 101.

Their first official date was a visit to a planet-of-apes world where a production of the classic musical "Guys and Dolls" was being staged. Richard was a talented actor/singer, and he had even played Nathan Detroit in his high school's production of the play. Cynthia had also played Nathan Detroit, but could not match Richard's energy.

As they watched the show, Richard and Cynthia chuckled and whispered to each other, sharing their harsh criticisms of the high school performance. Afterward, they went for a walk under a dark, moonless sky, talking and getting to know each other better.

Over time, they fell deeply in love, traveling across the universe and ending primitive worlds together with their new Death Star. They attended many more of Bowie's cheese parties, always dancing to Golden Years whenever it played.

Finally, they decided to get married in a grand ceremony on a dying planet, surrounded by their favorite enemies and lackluster co-workers. Bowie himself performed at the wedding, singing a drunk version of Golden Years that morphed into the Golden Girls' theme song.

As they danced to the "music," Richard and Cynthia felt as if they were the only two real flesh-and-blood people in the universe. They knew that their love was a rare and marketable thing, and they vowed to worship each other via elaborate yoga postures.
