Alice had waited for the perfect moment to upstage her competitor Lara in the battle over Dana. It was the beautiful tennis player’s surprise 29th birthday bash, organised by Alice herself and staged at The Planet. And it was a BIG event. Kit had agreed to use the entire club for the private function, which saw an odd two hundred people show up to congratulate Dana on getting one year older.

“Woah, Alice really went all out for this,” Shane said in awe as entered the Planet with Tina and Bette. The place was full of small jars holding candles, and a huge ‘Happy Birthday Dane’ banner sat about the stage on which Carmen was Djing.

“She’s really mad about that girl,” Tina said absentmindedly, sending the three into looks of realisation. “You don’t think that she -” Tina’s words were interrupted by Alice jumping out from in front of them, dressed to kill.

“Al you look hot,” Bette said as she admired the blonde who had decided to mix and match vintage jeans with a knee length black shirt/skirt.

“Don’t you know it B,” she replied with a smile. “So what do you guys think?”

The three just nodded in admiration of the place, which seemed to suffice Alice who quickly bounced away to welcome someone else.

“When is Dana getting here?” Tina asked no one in particular, looking around at the many familiar faces in the room. “I didn’t know Dana was so well acquainted with the famous faces of LA.”

“I think they are here more thanks to Alice than Dana,” Shane explained. “And I heard she was getting here at 8:30, but I’ll go check with Al. I’ll be back in a second.” With that Shane left Bette and Tina, who in no time were getting considerably cozy in a corner. Dana was actually arriving at 8:30, but Shane used it as an excuse to talk to Alice. She was almost 100% sure that what Tina had said beforehand held some truth, and was worried Alice was going to attempt some mission against Lara tonight. She knew Alice all too well.

“Al!” Shane shouted as she saw the blonde a few meters away from her. “Al!” Alice turned around to see Shane waving her to come over, and followed, wondering what was up.
