Alice opened her eyes then closed it again. Her heads hurting from last night. She couldn’t remember anything. She heard Dana’s voice.

Dana: Alice? Alice, you awake?

Alice: (hoarse) Dana? My head hurts.

Dana: Yeah, you got drunk last night. You just need rest okay?

Alice nodded.

Dana: I’m just gonna go down to The Planet, I need to get something from Shane okay. I’ll be back. You just stay here and rest.

Alice: Okay, come back soon.

Dana kissed Alice’s forehead and closed the door quietly behind her. She wasn’t going to get anything but ask Shane for advice. How is going to tell Alice about what happened with her and Lara?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She got there at The Planet and saw Shane and Carmen. She walked towards them and sat down.

Shane: Hey.

Carmen: Hi, where’s Alice?

Dana: She’s um…still sleeping.

Shane: Are you sure? Is she alright?

Dana: Yeah, I need to talk to you?

Shane: (hearing the anxiety in Dana’s voice) What happened?

Dana: Well…at the airport.

Shane and Carmen waiting for her next line.

Dana: I kinda…I…well you see…me and Lara..well…

Carmen: Okay, okay, you and Lara what?

Dana: I kinda…

Shane: Dana, what? You kinda what?

Dana: I kinda..kissed her.

Shane looked at Carmen.

Carmen: You…KINDA kissed her?

Shane: What, a-a friendly kiss? Good-bye kiss? Or a…

Dana nodded guiltily.

Shane: …kiss-kiss.

Carmen: Well, have you told Alice?

Dana: How can I tell her?

Shane: You kissed her? Does she-does she what? You kissed her or she kissed you?

Dana: It doesn’t matter. I’m just worried if I tell Alice, it could ***** up everything.

Carmen: No, it won’t.

Dana: Yes it will, everything was going perfect and then Lara came back and then-

Shane: Okay, wait…I think Alice would understand.

Carmen: It was just a good-bye kiss. No feelings attached right?

Dana: Yeah nothing. But it’s still hard.

Shane: You gotta tell her somehow.

Dana: I know…(frustrated)..this wouldn’t have happened if she just didn’t let me go with her and now I come here..-

Carmen: Secrets and lies.

Dana: What?

Shane: Yeah, she kinda wanted you to go because she um..wanted to know if you’d come back empty-handed.

Dana: Empty-handed?

Carmen: Yeah, no secrets, no lies.

Dana: Oh my god, what?! Did she know that this was gonna happen?
