BLIND DATE

ALICE:  Damn Tonya.  Blind date?  What the *****?  I could do this, right?  Ok, they’re still together.  Maybe it was Dana’s idea?  Nah, would she?  Maybe that’s a hint that I should move on and control my damn feelings.  Tonya… Dana… I have to see them together, again.  Argh!  The kisses must’ve meant nothing.  We’re just attracted to each other, right?  She doesn’t feel a thing.  Otherwise, she would’ve already left Tonya.  Think, Alice.  Just go on this date and test it.  Be yourself, and be strong for Dana.  She must love her.  Oh God, what the ***** am I saying?  I know she doesn’t.  Is she freakin’ blind?  Ok, we’ve got rules.  She hasn’t left Tonya, so she must not want to be with me. Move on, right?  Ok, Ill go on this date.  Might as well.  I can’t have Dana.  Plus, I convinced myself the other day that we just cant be.  Yeah, stick with that.

DANA:  Thanks, Tonya.  Great.  She sets up Alice on a date.  With a guy!  What the *****!  Argh.  This sucks.  She’s actually being all flirty with him.  That pisses me off.  Who does he think he is?  She’s fricken flirting with him!  I don’t get it.  She wouldn’t be interested in him.  Would she?  He’s no good for her.  Make up your mind, Alice.  I can’t believe she’s actually into him.  No, I have to talk to her.  This isn’t right.

ALICE:  This guy isn’t bad.  Maybe I can move on.  Hmm… he’s kinda sweet.  Dana’s got Tonya, which still hurts like *****, but I have to try to move on, right?  I’ll flirt a little, see where this goes.  Who am I kidding?  I’m in love with Dana but, she’s not into me and remind yourself that you cant risk losing her, Alice!  Shes alright.  Shes still with Tonya, right?  This sucks, but if we can’t be, then I have to keep my options open.  Play this off, Alice.  Pretend for now.  Can’t show Dana you’re hurt because it’ll mess things up for her.  If only she felt the same way.  This is so frustrating.  Smile a little, flirt a little, time will pass, and I can drown my sorrows in alcohol later.  Yeah, that’s it.  That’s what I’ll do.  I’m in love with my best friend, but she doesn’t feel the same.
