Dana caught her breath. “Ok, ok phew-

“I know” Tina shook her head.

“HELLO, NOT JOKING HERE”  

Tina and Dana looked over at Alice and Shane. Shane started to laugh. “mannn Alice your jokes are killer… on second thought don’t lay off the booze… continue in fact here let both fix us a drink shall we…” Shane said as she dragged Alice into the kitchen.

“What was that about?” asked Tina.

“No clue”

Tina shrugged and walked off to the bathroom. Dana sighed and put the bed away, topping it off with the couch cushions.

“We can’t”

“What?”

“Alice, we can’t tell them”

“Are you fucked? We HAVE to tell them”

“Alice, Tina is at a good place right now ok she’s happy with this Han- Harold- uh HENRY guy and, and with the success of the studio, it’ll crush her”

“Oh yeah ok, so let’s not let’s just wait till Helena comes to take all of that away anyhow”

“She won’t-

“Wait whose Han Harold uh Henry?” Alice asked in confusion.

“Who? Oh you mean Henry, Henry is this dude she’s been dating”

“ok ew…”

Shane nodded. “Yeah big ew ok but seriously Alice promise”

Alice sighed. “Shane, if something goes wrong… they’ll never forgive us”

“I’m just saying until me and you can figure this out”

“Me? How can I figure this our from all the way over here”

Shane shook her head. “No, you’re coming back with us”

“Oh no way”

“Alice, – we could-I mean our lives depend on it…you know depend our lives it does and all that stuff”

Alice shook her head. “You know, sometimes you sound like Yoda on crack”

Shane smiled. “Thank you, thank you, – and now remember act normal and…” Shane grabbed a beer from the fridge.

“Here drink this”

“What, no way look at the time I’m not an alcoholic Shane”

“Of course not but I bet Tina and Dana will flip and they’ll forget whatever you said about Dwight and Helena”

Alice sighed and grabbed the beer. “You’re paying for Lola’s ticket”
