“She used to be my Carmen,” Brandy said smugly and turned her attentions back to Carmen.

“I’m nobodies Carmen,” Carmen spoke up for the first time. She shrugged out of Shane’s grasp but Shane didn’t take it personally. She was to busy racing around with these puzzle pieces in her head like her hair was on fire.

“What are you doing here Brandy?” Carmen asked nastily as if she was an unwanted piece of sticky bubble gum on her shoe.

“The Brandy?” Jenny and Drew said at the same time as they were both pulled from their own individual thoughts. Carmen and Brandy were too heavily engaged in a staring contest to answer so Shane nodded sombrely for them.

Jenny was snapped out of her disbelief when an emotion that was foreign to her took over and she turned her attentions back to Marina. “What are you doing back Marina?” This was the last straw. Carmen’s mouth hit the floor and she blinked away from Brandy like she was old news. Drew spun around like she was watching one of Dana’s tennis matches and a bit of her coffee jumped from her cup like a skydiver. Moira’s eyes bugged out of her head as she came face to face with the reason she had met Jenny in the first place. It all started happening back when Marina told Jenny she had a girlfriend. The destructive behaviour that is. That’s why she spiralled into a relationship with Carmen when Carmen and Shane where obviously entangled. That’s ultimately what sparked her nightmares, her stripping and all that lead to the cutting, which was the card that made the castle fall. Which sent Jenny packing and straight into Moira’s arms. Moira had heard stories but seeing the obvious beauty for herself was a bit much, even more so when you added Jenny’s extreme emotions as a reaction.

“The Marina!” Drew, Carmen and Moira shrieked, at once. People around them had started paying attention and Shane tried to stir the pot before it inevitably bubbled over.

“Guys, we need to take a minute and think about where we are okay?” Shane’s voice was calm as she stood up with her hands out wide, trying to get everyone’s attention gently.
