Alice dates Bob. Bob is friends with Dave. Dave is single. So is Alice's friend Carol. The Rules of Fiction[[Tradesnark|™]] dictate that either Alice and Bob break up or Dave and Carol get together.

== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' gives us Shinji/Asuka and Kaji/Misato, with the subtext of Shinji/Misato and Asuka/Kaji. [[Freud Was Right]], after all.
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
 
== Film ==
* ''[[When Harry Met Sally]]'': Harry &and Sally fix each other up with their respective best friends. The two end up hitting it off and get together before the titular couple. So this is actually both an inversion and played straight.
