The memory of holding Bette and Tina’s baby Angelica in her arms is still fresh. It is a nice memory that still brings a smile to the face of Shane McCutcheon. However, the world continues to spin and life continues on, which means for Shane so does her business.

Her business is a skateboard shop called Wax where she also serves as its hairstylist. In terms of skating and hair, Wax has set itself apart from all competition in Hollywood. She can hear L7 playing on the public address system from a piped in satellite feed. The shop has just opened on this morning with Shane having already picked up her coffee from the Planet. As she arrives, one of her employees is sure to grab her attention.

Lacey: Your Nine O’Clock’s already here. Have fun.

Shane: My Nine O’Clock?

Shane looks at her watch.

Shane: A little early.

Lacey: Like I said, have fun.

Shane begins to walk away from Lacey and to her hair station.

Lacey: Oh!

Shane turns back toward Lacey, who smirks.

Lacey: Marta’s running late.

Shane: Ugh…

Shane continues walking. As she approaches her station, she sees the seat already occupied. She looks at the mirror and sees a familiar face, a face which she does not like very much.

Shane: Gabby?

Gabby: I figured after the other night this might be the best way to get your attention. I guess I got lucky.

Gabby turns the seat around to face Shane.

Shane: What do you want?

Gabby: …Something different. I like to think that after everything that’s happened, I can still trust you with sharp objects.

Shane: Don’t tempt me.

Gabby: I think it sucks you guys are still mad at me. You especially.

Shane: Gabby, you’re a miserable human being and hurt my friend.

Gabby sighs.

Gabby: I know, it didn’t work out with Al and I, but-

Shane: I really don’t wanna cut your hair.

Gabby: That’s not very good customer service, Shane.

Shane: You’re not a very good person, Gabby. You ripped Al’s heart out.

Gabby: If it’s worth anything, I’ve apologized to her. I’ve apologized to all of you. I mean I showed up at that restaurant the other night and apologized again. What more am I supposed to do?
