“Shhh,” Alice interrupts Dana and turns to Jenny. “Please don’t tell me…”

 “All I know is when I came in this morning to wake them up they were cuddled up on the couch together,” Jenny answers. “Clothes intact.”

 Alice rubs her forehead in frustration. “Fuck, man – Shane said she wasn’t going to do anything.”

 “They were cute,” Jenny responded. “And like I said, they looked like they just fell asleep watching the movie and ended up like that throughout the night.”

 “Would it be such a bad thing if they did?” Helena asks Alice.

 “Yes!” Alice answers. “I mean, I love Shane but she’s a one night kinda gal, and Carmen is… well – let’s just say Carmen isn’t; she’s more into relationships. And if anything happened between them it could make things awkward and then they might not be able to be friends and that would just be bad.” She pauses. “I just don’t want anyone to get hurt.”

“But Shane and Carmen are both big girls, Alice,” Helena counters. “They can handle themselves.”

“I know, it’s just –” Alice stops. “Whatever. Their decision, their consequences. As long as they don’t drag the rest of us in on it.”

“It could be nothing though,” Dana shrugs. “I mean, like Jenny said, maybe they just fell asleep and somehow ended up that way. Maybe they just clicked as friends and they’re getting close. They’re going to be roommates, being comfortable with eachother wouldn’t exactly be a bad thing.”

“Yeah… I don’t know,” Alice takes a sip of her drink. “There you guys are!” Alice shouts at Shane and Carmen who are making their way to the table.

“Hey guys,” Shane says slumping into her chair. “What have we missed?”

“Nothing really,” Helena answers. “Except Dana and Alice arguing over which movie character could beat Dana in a tennis match.”

“Do you know Leia?” Dana asks Shane.

“Princess Leia? With the cinnamon bun hair cut?”

“Thank you!” Alice yells, relieved. “I was beginning to think I was the only one here with a television set.”

“Wait,” Carmen interrupts. “Who doesn’t know who Princess Leia is?”

Alice points at Dana and Helena. “These two right here.”

“Oh my god! She is like, one of the biggest sex icons in sci-fi!”
