“I have an idea,” Alice announced in a bubbly fashion after knocking at Shane’s door until she answered.

“I don’t care,” Shane mumbled in reply, wiping her sleepy eyes and yawning. “Alice I think you should know that I don’t want to be your friend in the mornings. Alright?”

Ignoring Shane’s comment, Alice grabbed her shoulders and shook them excitedly as she continued.

“We are going on a road trip.”

“We are?” Alice could tell that Shane wasn’t amused.

“Ahuh,” Alice replied with a smile, tightening her grip on Shane’s shoulders. “Because I got us two VIP tickets to Tegan & Sarah’s sold out concert.”

“Really?”

Alice nodded, her gigantic smile still plastered on her face. Shane’s face sported the same smile after she realised Alice was telling the truth.

“You’re kidding. Al that’s fantastic!” Shane said, her voice croaky from having just woken up. She jumped up and down in excitement like a little kid. “Holy crap how did you manage it?”

“I have my ways,” Alice replied slyly. Shane’s unimpressed face made Alice continue. “Yeah ok so I did a deal through work. I go, I review.”

“Your trusty contacts at L.A. Times,” Shane commented with a laugh before hugging Alice. “Tell me though, if you got the tickets through work, why the need for the road trip?”

“Because the concert’s in San Francisco” Alice explained, her face brightening at the concept of a road trip. “A whole twelve hours on the road. What more could you want?”

“A road trip with you Al? Jesus this concert better be worth it.”
