Shane sat down slightly uncomfortable. Did she just forget what happened the other day or did she just chose not to bring it up, Shane wondered. “What do you mean normal?” she asked taking the seat offered.

“I don’t know, just less, dark. You seem… happier,” Will explained as Shane sat. She pulled the coffee to her lips and drank deeply.

“I am, actually. I uh, I have a date,” Shane responded. Will’s eyes fixed on her immediately. She gulped her mouthful feeling it burn as it slid down her throat.

“Really? With whom or should I even ask?” Will posed. She had a feeling she already knew the answer.

“Uh, Carmen. Just kind of out of the blue, really,” Shane said. She stretched her back and leaned forward a bit. Will smiled and shook her head knowingly. “But of course you knew that.”

Will shrugged, “I know nothing.” She grinned and quickly took another sip of coffee. Shane glanced around the Planet. The band for the night was setting up in the corner and a waitress was bringing them a pitcher of water with a few glasses. She looked puzzled a moment wondering where Kit was. She was usually right on top of these music nights. “So where are you taking her?” Will asked bringing Shane’s attention back to her.

“Uh, don’t know, really. She’s really taking me, being my truck died,” Shane answered cautiously. Will’s mind rested ever so briefly on the idea of ***** dating. Who really ever took out who was always a question her brother had posed to her a few times before. “So, uh, I like your hair,” Shane told her as she had just noticed that Will’s hair, had indeed changed colour.

Will stared at her for a moment and then realised herself she had infact changed her hair a few days before. “Oh, yeah, well it’s different,” she responded. She touched it then tossed it beind her.

“It’s uh very red. Why the change?” Shane asked inquistively. Will’s heart jumped and she took another sip of her coffee thinking about the answer.

“My dad like’s it this way,” she answered finally. Shane scratched her face and thought a moment.

“Do you always do everything your dad likes?” she asked smiling. A little goodie two shoes despite everything, she thought.
