“Yes, how else would I do it?” Alice said giving Shane a ‘come one, it’s me’ look.

            “True, continue Han.”

            “Thank you, so I am Han Solo and Dana is like Princess Leia. Lara is ***** Jabba the Hutt. And Gabby is the Bounty Hunter. Han loves Leia, but would never admit it because he is not like that. They are complete opposites. The way they grew up, how they see things. Everything. Leia could do so much better then Han. So like when Leia is being held captive by Jabba, she has no escape, even though Han loves her, he could never save her because of the Bounty Hunter. I mean Han was in the carbon freeze, so come on how is he supposed to save Leia? The Bounty Hunter ruins everything. Besides Luke saves Leia, so Leia should be with Luke.”

            “That’s gross they are brother and sister.”

            “Okay fine, not with Luke, but with someone like Luke.”

            “But not with Jabba?”

            “Not with Jabba.”

            “You forgot one thing Alice.”

            “Yeah what’s that?”

            “Leia and Han say they love each other before the carbon freeze. So Leia does not care about all the ***** of Han life, she only cares for him. Leia loves Han, it does not matter that he can’t save her.”

            “True, but Dana does not even love me that way. Pretend like they never said that to each and it works.”

            “You can not change a classic Alice.”

            “Yes I can, I can change it for my own situation if I want to.”

            “Whatever, but how do you know she doesn’t love you?”

            “We are best friends. You don’t fall in love with your best friend.”

            “But you did?”

            “It’s different.”

            “Explain to me why it’s different because I do not understand, how you can fall in love with Dana, but she can’t fall in love with you?”

            “Because she is Leia and I am Han. I will never be good enough for her. so of course she wont fall for me.”

            “How can you say that, if you don’t even give it a chance?”

            “What chance is that? She loves Lara.”

            “And you love Gabby, but you don’t seem to want to spend the rest of your life with her.”

            “Yeah, but it’s different.”

            “Oh, let me tell you if you don’t break up with Gabby, I will kill you.”

            “What did you talk to Dane?”

            “Yep”

            “I am doing it tonight. I am so stupid.”

            “No, you just wanted to forget about Dana.”

            “Shut up Yoda.”

            “I mean if you compare her to Leia.”

            “I no the metal bikini” Alice stared into space.

            “Al, gross. Please.”

            “Sorry, but she would look hot in it.”

            “Whatever you say.”

            “So how’s Carmen?”

            “We are good.” Shane said with a huge smile on her face. She and Carmen were dating. Her first real relationship, she was in love, what can you say.

            “I’m happy for you.”

            “Thanks, I mean me and Carmen. Bette and Tina back together. Jenny and Marina together. It’s all good.”

            “Yeah, Lara and Dana, and me and Gabby. What fun?”

            “Break up with Gabby or I will shove Dane’s racket up your *****. Besides tell Dana you love her. That’s my advice.”

            “Yeah, that’s just what I will do. I’ll show up at her door at  4 in the morning and kiss her.”

            “I recommend a little earlier, she has practice early in the morning.”

            “Shane!”

            “But serious break up with Gabby.”

            “I will, thanks Shane.”

            “No prob, Han, but Al.”

            “Yeah?”

            “Yoda I am. So Yoda knows best. Do you really want to live your whole life, never knowing if Dane loved you back?”

            “It’s better then being heart broken.” Alice said with a tear in her eye.

            “Oh” Shane said softly. For the first time, she really saw how much Alice loved Dana. This was real for Alice. Alice was preparing for the worst, and that meant never telling Dana.
