Dana: Maria’s here.

Maria approached them, frustrated.

Maria: My gosh, I’m sorry I took long but there were lots of people in there. Well, are we ready?

Lara: (smiling) Yeah, let’s..go.

Dana and Lara stood up. Lara and Maria got all their bags. They hugged and said their good-byes.

Dana: Congratulations.

Maria: Thanks.

They turned and left, Dana stood there and watched them go. She finally turned around and went.
She reached Alice’s car and hopped in. She started the car but she didn’t go, she rested her head on the wheel and closed her eyes.

Dana: (whispering) *****…*****…*****.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shane and Carmen stared at Alice as she gulped down her ninetinth bottle of beer. Alice asked for another one. Alice was going to grab it

but before she could Shane snatched it.

Alice: (kinda angry) Hey, that’s mine.

Shane handed the beer to Carmen.

Shane: Al, that’s enough. Your getting drunk.

Alice: (drunkily) No, I’m not…

Shane: (stood up) We’re going let’s go…

Alice: But I was going for twenty bottles. One more please…

Shane: Alice, we’re going.

Alice: Okay, fine. Record breaker.

Alice stood up and faced Shane. She stared at her, a moment she started wobbling and fell into Shane’s arms.

Carmen: Man, that must’ve been strong beer.

Shane: Yeah, okay, help here please.

Carmen: Oh right.

Shane and Carmen was on Alice’s side and helped her walk towards the door. Alice looked up at Shane and laughed. She started fiddling

with Shane’s hair.

Alice: (smily) You have funny hair.

Shane: (trying to get Alice to stop it) Alice, stop it.

Carmen laughed. They reached the door and went outside. It was still pouring with rain.

Shane: Here. (holding out her keys)

Carmen: What about Dana?

Alice: (reacting to the name) Dana? Where’s Dana?

Shane: She should be here any minute. I think.

Alice: (shouting) Dana?! Dana?!

A blue mini pulled over and honked.

Carmen: There she is.

Dana got out of the car and ran to them. Alice walked drunkily over to her and gave her a hug.

Alice: Hey baby, what’s up? (smiling, started kissing her neck)

Dana: (held on to her) Oh god, okay.

Shane: Yeah, she’s a bit…drunk.

Dana: Wow really?

Carmen: Yeah I think you should bring her home.
