“Yeah, maybe if you think someone being ripped to pieces is funny,” Dana retorts. “What about the rest of us?” Shane just laughs as a response. “Ok, well – not that I wouldn’t love to stay and watch Jessica Beil get her face ripped off, but I’m getting tired. I think I’m going to head home.”

“I’m with you on that one,” Helena says standing.

“Hey, Dane,” Alice says motioning towards her. “Do you think I can hitch a ride?”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Thanks. Carmen, just give my cell a call when you get home and I’ll let you in,” Alice says.

“Or, if you want, you can just stay the night here,” Shane suggests. “I mean, might as well get used to it. If you don’t want the couch, I’ll take it and you can have my bed.”

Carmen smiles. “No, the couch is fine. Besides, I’ll have to sleep on it until I buy my own bed anyway.”

“Problem solved,” Shane shrugs and looks at Alice.

“Yeah, sure looks like it,” Alice says nodding with her hand on her hips. She crosses her arms and sighs. “Shane, can I talk to you in the kitchen for a sec?”

Shane looks at her puzzled. “Sure…” She follows Alice into the kitchen. “What’s up?”

“Ok, you know I love you,” Alice starts. Shane just raises her eyebrows, shrugs and nods. “But Carmen is my friend – ”

“Woah, woah, woah,” Shane interrupts. “Alice, I was just being considerate. I mean, she’s hot, but she’s going to be my roommate. I wouldn’t want to complicate things.”

Alice crosses her arms, studies her face for a second and then nods. “Ok. Good.” They walk back into the living room. “Let’s go!”

“See you guys,” Jenny says with a yawn.

They smile and wave. “Coffee tomorrow morning?” Alice asks. Jenny, Shane and Carmen nod. “Ok, see ya.”

“Sorry guys,” Jenny says standing. “I’m going to have to bail. I can’t keep my eyes open.”

“What time is it anyway?” Carmen asks.

“Uhhh –” Jenny checks the clock. “1:36.”

“Wow that went by fast!”

“Yeah, goodnight.”

“Night, Jen,” Shane says still staring at the screen. She leans her head back. “Hey, listen, wake me up tomorrow if I over sleep k? I don’t wanna miss out on coffee hour.”
