Shane laughed to herself as she walked right through Alice’s door, she would’ve knocked but the music was so loud she doubted Alice would hear. Shane peeked around the corner to find her cleaning and using a feather duster as an air guitar, Shane recognized the song as “By the Way” by, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, She kept a level voice,

“Interesting selection of music…” Alice let out a small shriek, twisting her body toward Shane and tumbling to the floor. She hopped up as quickly as she could,

“…is there any chance you missed that, or is it safe to assume you got it all?” Alice blushed a little, pretending to dust a nearby door frame, Shane bowed her head smiling.

“I’ll say that I missed the tumble, but the air guitar is too good to let go.” Shane looked at her watch, then to Alice,

“What are you doing? You’re supposed to ready.” Alice’s face wrinkled in confusion,

“Ready for what? You never said anything about being ready,” Alice walked to her room to grab some clothes as Shane followed behind.

“We’re going to dinner with Tina and Bette, then I have a suprise for you…and I did tell you, I wrote it in the note with your coffee.” Alice spun on her heel, humming her song and replying happily,

“Ten bucks says, you’re wrong.” Shane smirked and began to slowly push Alice into her room,

“Fine Al, ten bucks…that will more than pay for the coffee I bought this morning, with the note that says be ready at 8:00.”

Shane shut Alice’s door and walked through the apartment, taking a moment to turn down the blarinng music. As Alice got dressed Shane found the note she’d wrote that morning, sitting in the kitchen.

Alice,

I figured you might need this, and don’t make any plans for tonight, we’re going out.

P.S. Don’t worry it’s Planet coffee, I tried to fix some, but I couldn’t do that to you.

Shane

‘Shit…I really didn’t write it.‘ Shane thought. Looking behind her quickly, to see if Alice was coming as she pulled out the pen she’d used that morning and wrote in “be ready at 8:00″. Shane placed the note where she’d found it, then hurried back to the couch, just as Alice walked in.
