Oh, you think I’m cute, do you?

Well, I think you’re cute too.

They lean in to kiss, but they get interrupted by a girl who comes up to them.

GIRL

Hi there, are you ladies from out of town?

‘Cause I’ve never seen you here before.

Rose and Claire turn to face the girl.

CLAIRE

Well, we just don’t go out much.

GIRL

Anyway I wanted to tell you, you two

make a really cute couple. Me and my friends

Girl points to her group of friends sitting at a table.

GIRL (CONT’D)

We hang out here every Thursday,

so come find us if you come back to the Beaver.

ROSE & CLAIRE

Sure!

 GIRL

See ya!

Girl goes back to her friends.

CLAIRE

Need to use the washroom.

CUT TO:

INT. WASHROOM (BAR). NIGHT

Two guys and a girl walk out as Rose enters the gender-neutral washroom. Rose peeks under the stalls until she spots Claire’s shoes. Rose stands in front of the stall and waits, nervous but determined.  When Claire opens the door, Rose leans into her and kisses her passionately. Then Rose pulls away and they look at each other in amazement.

ROSE (BREATHLESS)

I’ve been wanting to do that all night,

but we kept getting interrupted.

CLAIRE (BREATHLESS)

I know, come here.

Claire returns the kiss just as passionately, pulling Rose back inside the stall and latching the door.

FULL SHOT WASHROOM STALL – DOLLY IN TO ROSE AND CLAIRE’S FEET

(Phone rings)

ROSE (VOICE OFF)

Oh shit, it’s my Dad!

CLAIRE (VOICE OFF)

Answer it!

ROSE (VOICE OFF)

I can’t with the music playing

so loud. I have to text him.

CUT TO:

FULL SHOT OVER THE STALL

Both Rose and Claire look at the cellphone’s screen.

TEXT – ROSE

Can’t answer. Watching a movie

TEXT – DAD

How much longer?

TEXT – ROSE

1 hour?

TEXT – DAD

Ok. Pick you up in 1 hour.

Rose and Claire look at each other and giggle. They wrap their arms around each other.

CLAIRE

Thanks for an amazing night.

ROSE

In the washroom stall of a gay bar?

CLAIRE

Well we met in a washroom.

Kind of hard habit to break.

Laughing and holding hands, Rose and Claire leave the stall and walk out of the washroom.

CUT TO:

EXT. EVA’S HOUSE. NIGHT

Rose, Claire and Kenny sit on the sidewalk of a residential street, waiting for Nathan. Nathan pulls up and all three get inside the car.

INT. NATHAN’S CAR. NIGHT

NATHAN

So, how was Eva’s?

ROSE, CLAIRE AND KENNY

Good!

NATHAN

What did you do?

ROSE (LOOKING AT KENNY)

Oh, you know, the usual. Listen to music

KENNY (LOOKING AT CLAIRE)

Dance a little

CLAIRE (WINKING AT ROSE)

And then we watched a romantic movie.

Through the rear view mirror Nathan sees Claire and Rose holding hands. He smiles. The car pulls over and Kenny gets out.

KENNY

Thanks for the ride Nathan!

NATHAN

Any time Kenny!

ROSE AND CLAIRE

G’night Kenny! See you at school!

Nathan drives off.

NATHAN (TO ROSE AND CLAIRE)

Make any new friends at Eva’s?

CLAIRE (LOOKING AT ROSE)

Yeah… Actually, her cousin is visiting from Russia.

Rose squeezes Claire’s hand trying not to laugh.

NATHAN

Did you have a good time Blossom?

ROSE (LOOKING AT CLAIRE)

Yeah, it was pretty cool. I think Eva

wants to have us over again soon.

The girls smile widely at each other. The car pulls up to Claire’s house. Rose gets out of the car and offers her hand to help Claire out. As Claire gets out, her fake ID slips out of her purse and falls onto the floor of the back seat of the car.

EXT. CLAIRE’S HOUSE. NIGHT

Rose and Claire stand outside the front door. Nathan tries to turn his head away from them to give them a little privacy.

ROSE

I meant what I said in the car, I’m looking

 forward to hanging out at “Eva’s” again.

CLAIRE (SMILING BROADLY)

Me too!

Rose glances toward her father to check he’s not looking, and then gives Claire a quick kiss on the lips.

ROSE

Have a good night.

CLAIRE

You too. Call you tomorrow.

Rose gets back in the car and Nathan drives away.
