“Sorry,” Dana said, becoming serious. “I’m just not used to you being so open.”

Shane nodded, it was a change for her too. “I just – I dont know what
to do. I cant stand it. Shes never shut down with me like this.”
“Well, is she going to the club with you guys tonight?”
Shane shrugged. “I have no idea. I practically begged her to come, but
all she could guarantee me was that shed think about it.”

“Dont worry, she’ll be there.”

Shane furrowed her brow. “What makes you so sure?”
“Because shes Alice,” Dana said, matter-of-factly. “And if this is
driving you crazy, then I know shes going completely insane. Just talk
to her.”

That Night – Club Liquid

“Ive never been to Disneyland.”
“Now thats just sad,” Bette said.

Shane nodded, agreeing. “Yeah Jen, were gonna have to do something
about that.”
Jenny watched as they both downed a shot. “You know its
weird, most children want to go, but I never did. Not that my mom would
have taken me if I had, but still.”

Shane set her empty shot glass down on the table next to the many others. “Bette, youre up.”
“I’ve never been in love with anyone other than Tina,” Bette told them.
Shane and Jenny each took a shot.
“I’ve never been in love with Tina,” Shane said.

Bette picked up a shot. “Consider yourself lucky,” she replied before throwing it back.
Shane looked at the line of empty glasses. “Alright, I think we need more shots.”
“I’ll get them.” Bette stood and headed towards the bar.

Jenny got up as well. “I’m gonna to the bathroom.”

“Okay,” Shane said.

“Will you come with me?”
Shane looked at her, curiously. “Alright” She stood and followed her.

When they got into the bathroom, Jenny led her into a stall and shut the door.

“Dont be mad, okay?”
“Dont be mad about what?” Shane asked.

Jenny reached into her pants pocket and pulled out what was left of the bag of coke that Rex had given them.

“Jen” Shane tried her best to sound disapproving, or scorning, or
something resembling adult like, but deep down she couldnt have been
happier. A little coke was exactly what she was in the mood for,
especially since it looked like Alice wasnt going to be showing up
after all.
Jenny smiled. “Come on”
