“Look at Shane,” Alice muttered as soon as they walked onto the main floor at the gym. “She’s working out like she’s a crazed weasel or something.”

Dana was about to make a retort about how ridiculous that was, but as she looked at her friend, she couldn’t help but agree just the tiniest bit.

“She didn’t mention anything weird in the car the other night, did she? Was she doing speed?” Alice asked in her ear. Dana swatted her away.

“No, to both questions. Quit staring, I’m sure she’ll tell us if there’s something going on. Maybe she just really likes working out,” Dana said, trying to give Shane the benefit of the doubt. It did look weird, though. And mildly hilarious, but she didn’t want to laugh and be mean. Instead, she looked at Tina, and seeing the baffled expression on her face, started to giggle. Tina looked back at her, even more baffled, and it just made Dana laugh harder.

“Morning, lazy asses,” Shane said by way of greeting when they got to her immediate area. “Dana, what the hell’s wrong with you?”

“What the hell’s wrong with you? You’re working out like a gopher on speed,” Dana managed to say through her laughing fit.

“Weasel!” Alice protested. “She’s a weasel, not a gopher.”

“Well to me, she looks like a damn gopher. Not a weasel. It’s all personal perception, Alice.”

“Tina? What do you think? Gopher or weasel?” Alice asked, turning away from Dana in disgust and ignoring the slightly confused glare Shane was fixing her with from the machine.

“I don’t know…hmm. She looks sort of raccoonish to me,” Tina said after a minute of pondering.

“I can’t be anywhere in public with you people, can I?” Shane asked as she gave Dana, who was still having her laughing fit, a quick hug and then got back on her machine.

“Of course you can. You’re the one being a crazed gopher,” Dana replied. “Why are you working out like it’s the last day you’ll ever get to, anyway?”

“She’s sworn off sex!” Tina reported. Alice and Dana looked at her, then at each other, then at Shane…who was still working out crazily, and then back at each other again. Shane saw them and sighed.
