Lara: I’m fine.
Carmen nods. She knows Lara is still fighting it. She kisses Lara on the left cheek.
Carmen: We gotta get through this together. Come on…
Carmen takes Lara by the hand and they walk out together, back to the rest of the Planet.
The ceremony is brief, as Bette does her best to remain composed. Shane holds baby Angelica in her arms, standing next to Marina as the plaque is unveiled. Afterwards, it’s on to business in the office room. Lawyers talk and a deal is finalized as Bette, Ivan and Marina come to an agreement on ownership in Kit’s place. If nothing else, it’s an excuse for Marina to stay close to West Hollywood again.
The day unfolds with a visitor to the Planet. This visitor is there to see an old friend and she spots her seated at a table with others.
Carmen sits at a table with Lara and Shane. Someone notices her from a distance, but Carmen hasn’t noticed her yet.
Shane: It took a lot of talking to get the Principal to finally accept him, but at least Shay’s in a school now.
Carmen: Well hey, he needs his education.
Shane: Yeah well, I’m just happy to not be talked to about it over and over again by you and Bette.
She comes closer to the table.
Shane: I gotta be back here tonight.
Lara: Oh, is that for the interview?
Carmen: Curve Magazine, isn’t it?
Shane: Yeah…Stacy somebody wants to interview me about Jenny’s book that’s comin’ out.
Lara: Just don’t be nervous.
Carmen: Yeah, Shane. Work your charm on her.
Shane: I just hope I don’t sound like a babbling idiot.
The trio is soon joined by a face familiar only to Carmen. Carmen recognizes her instantly.
Carmen: Oh my God.
Papi: ‘Ey, baby. Long time no see, ‘uhh?
Carmen stands from the table and gives Papi a hug.
Carmen: Looking to expand your territory?
Papi: Na, man I’m just dropping by. I had a hunch you might be here.
Carmen: Well, since you’re here, let me introduce you. Papi, this is Lara.
Lara: Hi.
Papi raises and eyebrow and smiles.
Papi: Lara? That’s a pretty name.
Lara grins politely. Carmen’s seen this setup from Papi before and distracts her.
Papi: And this is Shane…and the little one’s Angelica.
Shane: I’m just babysitting for a friend. Good to meet you.
Papi grins for a second, then realizing the name she just heard, her eyes widen then pierce.
Papi: Wait…you’re Shane?
Shane nods.
Shane: Yep.
Papi: THE…Shane? Shane MacCutcheon Shane?
Shane’s eyes look right, then left.
Shane: Yeah.
Carmen: Papi.
Papi looks over at Carmen.
Carmen: Not now.
Shane: Not what now?
Papi: Nah, that’s cool.
Papi reaches into her pocket and pulls out a business card.
Papi: I just wanted to drop in real quick and say hi, but I gotta jet in a few.
Papi hands Carmen the business card.
Papi: Call me up sometime, so we can catch up on old times.
Carmen: I will later on.
Papi: You look good, girl. Good to meet your friends, too.
Papi flashes a smile as she looks over at Lara before departing just as quickly as she arrived.
Shane: Who’s Papi?
She leaves the Planet with a smirk on her, the vision of Carmen’s fair skinned, long haired friend in her head. Target acquired.

Hope your Papi is not as strange as TLW’s. Glad to see new faces though.
I’m with Probie. One strange Papi is enough. lol Hopefully we get more Ivan.
Glad to see that the others are safe. The after mat of death and trying to get proper papers in order is hard. on everyone. Let this Papi be more gentle that the one on the TLW thanks
I just had this weird flash of Papi and Bette… Not sure why. Also not sure who would be pursuing who in that scenario… Anyway, that business stuff can be a bitch when all you want to do is mourn…
Ahhh ok, liking this. A LOT. But I think we’re both Lara fans, so I anticipate lots of goodness for her, with the serious angsty (as if she doesn’t have enough) times. Can’t wait to see how Papi is woven into the mix. I like that Carmen is there for Lara. Hmm, I think I miss these girls on the show, daaaang. PPS, I’m hooked.
Let’s see. Papi? I like. Next should be Tasha. Tasha and Carmen would be cool, hell Tasha with anyone would be great. Is Jodi next? I hope not. Kace you gotta make up some one else, cuz Jodi won’t cut it, at least not with Bette. Pretty please? Not so bleak this chapter. I really hope that Laura doesn’t trasnfer her emotions onto Carmen. They should just be friends. Shane…well she should grovel at Carmen’s feet while Carmen takes this time to screw around, because we need some sex in this story to take away from some of the bleakness. More Bette please. Good stuff. PPS.
Gasp! Papi’s gonna ry it on witn Lara isn’t she? Hopefully Carmen will put her foot down and stand up for her woman! Ok, I know you havn’t put them together (yet? maybe, maybe not), but a girl can dream. Is there any way to subscribe to fics written by you? Like receiving an email update when you post new chapters etc?
