Dana “And now… I’m thirsty.”

The crowd laughs as Dana hands the microphone back to Marcy who in turn hands it back to Kit who places back on its stand above the digital turntables. The crowd goes from cheering to returning to their own revelry.

Kit “Alright y’all let’s get back to drinkin’ and dancin’ and par-tay-in’!”

The music kicks back in as Lacey watches Renee make her move. Dana approaches the table where her friends are and all attention is on her.

Dana “Hey! Have I missed anything?”

Dana then sees a new face and instantly points at her.

Dana “Jenny!”

Jenny looks shocked to the point of near frightened.

Dana “Oh my god, you must be Jenny!”

Dana goes around the table to make her way over to Jenny.

Jenny “Hi, you’re Dana.”

Dana “Yeah, I know right!?”

The spirits are high for Dana as she offers Jenny a big, welcoming hug.

Dana “My friends haven’t scared you off yet have they?”

Jenny “No, no they’re nice.”

Dana “Well hey it’s good to see you.”

Lisa sees her moment to try again.

Lisa “Shane?”

Shane “Hey, Lis.”

Lisa “I need to-”

Before Lisa can finish her sentence, Shane finds herself being hugged up on by Renee who whispers in her ear. Shane grins and the two briefly kiss.

Shane “Guys, I’m gonna go shoot pool.”

Just like that, Shane is whisked away and Lisa can only look on, feeling ignored.

Dana “Shit.”

Alice, Jenny, Bette, and Tina look over at Dana.

Dana “I get the trophy, but Shane still gets the prize.”

She is then distracted by one of the Planet employees who hands her a bottle of Dos Equis.

Dana “Thanks! This’ll do nicely instead. And less arguing afterwards. Bottoms up!”

Dana takes her seat at the table and begins downing her beer. While everyone else is in good spirits, Lisa is more melancholy.

Lisa “Uh, hey I’m gonna check out.”

Tina “You’re not leaving already are you?”

Lisa “Yeah, I’m, just… I wanna make sure I’m good for work tomorrow. I don’t want your bosses yelling at me for being hungover.”

Tina nods.

Bette “I thought you were wanting to speak with Shane about something?”

Lisa looks over where the pool table is.
