Carmen-“ hello momma!”

There is a long pause and Shane starts to become concerned.

Carmen-“ I know it has been too long. That is one of the reasons I am calling. I was wondering if I could come over for dinner tomorrow?”

Mercedes-“ of course, I make dinner for you and sam!” with much excitement in her voice.

Carmen-“ umm, I will be with someone but it won’t be Sam.”  Smiling at Shane.

Mercedes-“ Then who?”

Carmen-“That’s the other thing I need to talk to you about.”

Carmen didn’t even need to say it. Her mother already knew.

Mercedes-“ I have no desire to see her. Chane is no good for you.”

Carmen-“ mom just wait. I know you don’t trust her, but I think you need to just listen to what she has to say. I did and I now understand.”

Mercedes-“ okay, I will listen. Only for you though.”

Carmen-“ Thank you momma! We will see you tomorrow.”

Mercedes-“ I will see you tomorrow. And tell Chane to be ready to talk.”

Carmen-“ I will”

At that they hang up.

Back at the planet everyone is wondering where Shane and Carmen have been.

Alice-“ I bet they haven’t gotten out of bed for the past two days!”

Bette-“You have a one track mind Alice.”

Alice-“What I was just saying.”

Tina-“im sure they will turn up soon guys.”

Dana-“ I am just happy everything worked out for them.”

They all nod in agreement.

Alice-“Do you think we should stop over just to make sure they are coming up for air?”

Dana-“Alice!” smacking her lightly on the shoulder.

Alice-“what?! I am just concerned!!”

Kit-“is that what you call it?” Bringing everyone a drink.

Alice-“ no Kit, that isn’t what I call it. I am really concerned.”

Dana-“ I will admit it was odd not seeing either of them at the club last night.”

Alice-“ See I am not the only one concerned!” With more excitement the necessary.

Jenny-“ Just give her some time. She has waited a year for this to happen.”

Alice-“ oh, did I just hear Jennifer fucking Schechter making some sense? You guys must be right, I am losing my mind.”
