@ Slicknickshady :

I think it's basically like this ... Imagine that you're watching a championship baseball game, between two teams, both of which you like and have been supporting all the way through. You're bound to have mixed feelings about it - Whichever team wins, you'll be happy, because a team you liked won, but at the same time, you'll also be feeling sad that a team you liked lost.

What would probably happen is that as soon as one team gets a solid lead, you'll start rooting for the trailing team to catch up, and vice versa. (Well, in general, people like to root for the underdog, anyway.) You're really hoping that, no matter which team wins, both teams will at least play well.

So it's probably a combination of what you said, and what CreddieLuv4eva said. Serene Girl is going to have mixed feelings no matter which relationship happens, although she'll try to focus on the positive. In the meantime, she's going to be trying to keep up spirits for the relationship whose hope seems to be fading - Like I said, people like to root for the underdog - and she's also hoping that even if it doesn't ultimately happen, that it would at least get a little more time in the spotlight.
