“Ew, turn it off!” Carmen said seriously and changed the channel on the radio. Shane opened her mouth widely and turned on Carmen.

“No you didn’t!” Shane shrieked in her best diva voice. Carmen threw her head back and laughed as she surfed the stations for something. When she couldn’t find anything she opened her bag and pulled out a CD.

“Es’cuze me! You can’t just take over my muzak!” Shane mock shouted, again. She tried to look blown away that Carmen would have the balls to do such a thing.

“Maybe it’s the fact that you think of it as ‘muzak’ that bothers me. But it sucks.”

“No it doesn’t!”

“It seriously does, who thinks Nerf Herder is actually everyday listening music? Cause it’s not sweetie. Here,” she popped the CD in. “You’ll like this.”

“Oh so you know what music I’ll like now mommy?” Shane asked with a laugh. “Right, next time I want to listen to Jenna Bush Army, I’ll run it by you to make sure it’s the right time of day,” Shane said and stuck her tongue out at the side of Carmen’s head, thinking she hadn’t seen. She had.

“You better! That Jenna Bush is a *****. The Mews and Scarling are on here. This is good music! And I can’t believe you just stuck your tongue out at me, your such a baby,” Carmen said and playfully swatted Shane’s arm as she stared out the window. “Tell me you don’t like it?” Carmen asked knowingly.

Shane scoffed and listened. It was awesome. “It sucks,” she said with a smile. Carmen saw that too without even turning her head. She tickled Shane as they pulled up to The Planet, finally looking at her.

“You liar! You love it!”

“No I don’t,” Shane managed to gasp out through laughs.

“Admit it, you llllooove it! You love the Mews, you think Mews rocks! Your Scarling obsessed! Say it!” Carmen shrieked as she straddled Shane’s stubborn form and tickled her mercilessly. Shane shook her head with tears forming in her eyes as she tried to hold back her outrageous laughter.

“Never.”

“Shane. Say it!” Carmen said and dug her friendly fingers just a bit hard into her girlfriends sides. Shane burst out in tearful laughter and she shook. She pushed Carmen’s hands away and nodded again and again.
